Gao Zhijun arrived in Tongguan County and brought 10,000 soldiers to the military camp guarding the border.
"I will not see Her Royal Highness the Princess yet! Duke Weiguo!"
At the gate of the military camp, the mighty general guarding the border came out with generals of the fifth rank and above to greet Gao Zhijun.
"Everyone, please get up quickly. No need to be polite."
Gao Zhijun asked General Weiwu to stand up.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Duke Wei!"
The mighty general stood up with his generals.
"Your Highness, Duke Weiguo, you have all been exhausted from the journey. I have prepared some food and wine to welcome you."
The mighty general said.
"Thank you for your help. We are indeed tired. Please lead the way."
Gao Zhijun also feels tired now and really needs to eat and rest.
"Princess, please!"
"Deputy General, please settle the soldiers and serve them with good wine and meat."
General Weiwu took Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian to the backyard to rest, and ordered the deputy general to settle the soldiers brought by Gao Zhijun.
"Yes, General!"
The deputy general has followed the mighty general for many years. The two have a very good understanding and understand what the general means.
He took Qinglong and the others to the most remote courtyard in the military camp to settle them, under the pretext that he was afraid of disturbing their rest.
Gao Zhijun, Huo Jinqian, Canglang and Mo Xue followed General Weiwu to a courtyard called "Orchid Pavilion" in the backyard to settle them down.
"Princess, Duke Weiguo, you will live here. This place is remote, so the soldiers' training won't affect your rest. Since the barracks have limited space, this is the only vacant courtyard. Please share the same courtyard. However, don't worry, this courtyard has two master bedrooms. You can live in one without affecting the princess's reputation."
General Weiwu apologized to Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian. He also explained that the two courtyards were divided into two wings, east and west, each with a master bedroom, and they were far away from each other so as not to affect Gao Zhijun's reputation.
"It's okay! We're an engaged couple, it won't affect me. You can leave now!"
Gao Zhijun looked at the large courtyard and thought the rooms inside should be quite large as well.
"I'll be leaving soon! Someone will bring hot water for you and the princess and the Duke of Wei to wash up and rest. I'll tell the kitchen to prepare the meal and then call the princess and the Duke of Wei."
The mighty general said.
"Thank you, General."
Gao Zhijun said politely.
The mighty general turned and left. When he turned around, he sneered: Princess, Duke Weiguo, don’t blame me for being cruel. This is the result of you offending His Royal Highness the Second Prince.
It turns out that this mighty general is the Second Prince's man. He is Concubine Li's cousin and the Second Prince's uncle.
The day before yesterday, he just received a secret letter from Concubine Li and the Second Prince in the palace, asking him to find a way to destroy the grenades and cannons so that Princess Xiangyun and Duke Weiguo would die in Goryeo.
Gao Zhijun watched the mighty general leave and said to Huo Jinqian, "Do you think this person is a little strange?"
"It's really strange. Logically, we are VIPs and should live in the main courtyard, not in this remote place. He seems to be afraid that he knows something, so he put us here."
"Bingo! Just as I thought. His excuse for worrying about the soldiers' drills disturbing our rest is just an excuse. He must be plotting something."
Gao Zhijun explained.
In her experience as a killer, the mighty general was too abnormal.
As the saying goes, when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. And everything the mighty general did was too abnormal and too unreasonable.
So it's very suspicious and seems like a conspiracy is brewing.
"Canglang, you have to go on a night scout tonight. We mustn't alert the enemy by revealing what General Weiwu is up to."
Gao Zhijun ordered Canglang.
"Also, go find out where they've placed Qinglong and the others. Find Qinglong and tell him to be more careful and alert, so he doesn't fall into their trap and lose his life."
Gao Zhijun thought of something and gave Canglang another order.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Canglang responded.
"Zhijun, don't be afraid. If anything happens, I will protect you."
Huo Jinqian knew what Gao Zhijun was worried about, and he spoke soothingly.
"I'm not afraid. If an enemy comes, I'll fight him. If a flood comes, I'll block it with earth. There's nothing to be afraid of."
“Someone’s coming!”
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, Canglang reminded her.
He had profound internal strength and heard someone coming this way.
Sure enough, not long after, soldiers came over with water. Canglang and Moxue took it and sent them away.
After Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian took a shower, they went to bed to rest.
Lying in bed, Gao Zhijun recalled how, before setting off, she had asked Canglang and Qinglong to investigate the generals in the Tongguan military camp and find out their relationships. She never did anything without certainty; she had to know their details before she could come to Tongguan with confidence.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
You must understand their relationship so that you can respond quickly when unexpected changes occur.
General Weiwu is Concubine Li's cousin. If he wants to deal with me, it can only be related to Concubine Li and the Second Prince. Otherwise, why would he want to harm me when I have no grudge against him?
If my guess is correct, the only possibility is that it is related to the capital and the palace.
Is the second prince going to rebel?
Gao Zhijun was so frightened by her own guess that she broke out in a cold sweat. All her sleepiness disappeared and she sat up in panic.
If the guess is correct, the capital city is likely to undergo a major change.
Her only concern was for her relatives in the capital, most of whom were powerless. Furthermore, some time ago, she and her father had offended the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, a man with a vengeful heart and a ruthless heart who would certainly not let go of the Sun family, the Huo family, and her mother.
Gao Zhijun felt inexplicably anxious. She hoped that she was overthinking it, worrying too much, and having wild imaginations.
