After Gu Yuzhi gave Zhang Shiwei a brief explanation, Zhang Shiwei and Jiang Kangming led their men out of Anning Gate to search for suitable weapons in the mountains.

Meanwhile, Zhu Shoubei had completed the rotation of the entire city wall, and the guards on the Anning Gate city wall had been replaced with servants from wealthy families, creating a false impression to deceive the soldiers at the other three gates.

Hearing Mr. Huo's arrangement, Gu Yuzhi chuckled, "Young Master Qi, you really don't need to worry at all. It may seem like we only have less than a hundred people, but there are many people in Huizhou City, so we have a very strong backing!"

As Mr. Huo once said, never underestimate the power of the people. The people have made significant contributions to the long-standing war between the northern deserts and the northern barbarians.

Therefore, Gu Yuzhi has decided to make use of the people in the city.

Of course, there is one more very important thing to do before the war officially begins.

He took out the confession letter from General Liu that Guard Zhang had given him before he left.

“Young Master Qi, I remember that some of your guards are the Emperor’s secret agents. They should have a special way of communicating with the Emperor, right? Could you find a way to send this confession to the capital as quickly as possible?”

Actually, we could wait until the war ends that night, capture the other naval commanders, gather all the evidence, and then send it to the Emperor.

But Gu Yuzhi thought that Xie Changshi had said that some things are better left unsaid.

It would be enough if a general stepped forward to accuse the Prince of Chu's brother of privately mobilizing troops, besieging the people of Huizhou, and attempting to assassinate a high-ranking official of the court.

And of course, there's another crucial reason: speed!

Before the King of Chu sends reinforcements here, or before the King of Chu is able to deal with this situation, let's announce his crimes to the world!

In this way, the Emperor's expedition will be justified!

Qi Chengjun took the confession, his eyes lighting up. He clearly understood Gu Yuzhi's meaning and announced loudly, "First A!"

Jia Yi walked in from outside, first bowing to Gu Yuzhi, and then said, "Lord Qi."

Qi Chengjun handed over the confession: "You previously said that because the Prince of Chu cut off Huizhou's communication with the outside world, you couldn't contact the capital. Now that Anning Gate has opened, you must quickly find a way to send the confession to the capital!"

He stared intently at Jia Yi and emphasized, "It has to be quick!"

It is highly likely that the father's side has already engaged in battle, or is about to engage in battle, but the King of Chu's private army has not yet appeared.

He shared the same idea as Prince Wen: the navy might be mobilized entirely to besiege his father, leaving the navy without reinforcements to continue the siege of Huizhou.

However, if the King of Chu knew about this and guessed the prince's whereabouts, he would inevitably mobilize his private troops.

My second brother wrote quite a bit in his letter about how much the King of Chu hated His Highness Prince Wen.

Without delay, Jia Yi took the confession and left, setting off from Anning Gate at full speed.

After arranging everything, Gu Yuzhi stretched his body a little, touched his now-flat stomach, and exclaimed, "Oh dear, it's almost dark."

He puffed out his cheeks, feeling that he hadn't said anything, so how come time had passed so quickly?

Thinking that the battle would begin again after dark, he hurriedly looked at Qi Chengjun: "Young Master Qi, hurry up and arrange the food so that the soldiers can have a good meal. They must eat their fill so that they will have the strength to launch a counterattack later."

Qi Chengjun nodded with a smile: "I have already made the arrangements. Your Highness, please move to the main hall. I have arranged for the head chef from Baoyuezhai to come to the residence and prepare a Huizhou dish for Your Highness."

My second brother said that His Highness always says he wants to travel all over the Sang Dynasty and eat all the delicacies in every city.

So after His Highness woke up, he had already arranged for someone to go to Baoyuezhai to invite a head chef.

But he really didn't expect that His Highness Prince Wen would be so decisive, launching a counterattack so quickly, without waiting a single day.

However, considering the changes in northern Mongolia over the past two years and the progress of construction in Xinliang, it seems understandable.

Did Gu Yu know how much Qi Chengjun liked her more? She looked at Qi Chengjun with shining eyes, her voice filled with joy: "Young Master Qi, is what you said true? Authentic Huizhou cuisine?"

He had just arrived in Huizhou, so of course he didn't know which restaurant in Huizhou had the best food. However, since Prince Qi was from a prominent family in the capital, the restaurant he recommended shouldn't be too bad, right?

Gu Yuzhi said with a smug look, "Young Master Qi, is this Baoyuezhai the biggest and best restaurant in Huizhou?"

It's such a pity that Granny Xu didn't come along. Otherwise, I could have let Granny Xu try the dish I like, so I could have eaten it back in the northern desert.

His eyes darted around, and his disappointment and regret were only fleeting.

In his view, the King of Chu was destined to be defeated, and it wouldn't be long before he was.

Once the Prince of Chu is captured and brought back to the capital, the Jiangnan navy will have a new commander, and the Emperor will have reinstated his men in Jiangnan. Then Jiangnan will become the Emperor's territory.

Once he has dealt a heavy blow to the Northern Di people and made sure they wouldn't dare to invade again for the next ten years, he will have time to come to Huizhou!

We must bring Granny Xu with us when the time comes!

Qi Chengjun was unaware that Gu Yuzhi was already envisioning the future. He lagged half a step behind him and led him toward the main courtyard: "Baoyuezhai is indeed the largest restaurant in Huizhou, and from the manager to the waiters, everyone at Baoyuezhai is a very trustworthy person."

As the largest restaurant in Huizhou, Baoyuezhai naturally receives many guests every day.

When the plague broke out in Jiangnan, some people at Baoyuezhai fell ill, and all the people at Baoyuezhai, including the manager, accountant, and head chef, were taken to that manor.

If it weren't for Qi Chengjun, all of them would have only one fate: to quietly await their death.

So after leaving, the manager of Baoyuezhai swore to be loyal to Qi Chengjun.

Upon hearing that Qi Chengjun was to receive an important guest, the manager immediately sent Baoyuezhai's top chef over without hesitation, and did not charge him any fees.

The tables and chairs in the main hall were already set out. Gu Yuzhi sat in the main seat, glanced at the dishes already laid out on the table, and pursed his lips.

The difference between Huizhou cuisine and Mobei cuisine can be seen simply from the exquisiteness of the plating.

Listening to Qi Chengjun's introduction, Gu Yuzhi nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself that he had seen these signature dishes at the palace banquet.

He puffed out his cheeks; this time, he couldn't boast to his elder brother about the delicious food he had eaten.

Before long, all the dishes were served. Gu Yuzhi lowered his raised hand slightly, a big smile on his face: "Everyone, please sit down."

He looked up at the lanterns that had already been lit: "After we finish our meal, we'll have to get back to work."

Gu Yuzhi stood on the chair, picked up the tea in front of him, and said, "I wish tonight's operation a success, and I hope to see you all again when the sun rises tomorrow!"
