At night, Canglang took Tianlang and others and sneaked to the courtyard of General Weiwu and his deputy general.
They split into two groups, Canglang and Qinglong were responsible for assassinating General Weiwu, while Tianlang and Polang were responsible for assassinating the deputy general.
Qinglong and Canglang tiptoed to General Weiwu's yard and used the sleeping powder given by Gao Zhijun to knock out all the soldiers in the yard.
Then he tiptoed to General Weiwu's room and used a sleeping pill to knock him unconscious.
Canglang gently opened the door, walked into the room, and saw General Weiwu lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He must have fainted.
They dare not take it lightly.
Because the mighty general is not bad in martial arts and is very vigilant.
They were afraid that he was faking fainting, so they tiptoed to the bedside.
Seeing that the person on the bed did not react, the two men acted quickly and killed the mighty general with one knife.
General Weiwu was actually thinking of sending Princess Xiangyun out of seclusion tomorrow. He was afraid that the princess would find out that the grenades and artillery had been tampered with by them.
Therefore, fearing that the night would be too long and bring more trouble, he discussed with his deputy general in the evening to send Princess Xiangyun and the others away tomorrow.
Therefore, the deputy general told the gatekeepers early in the morning that as soon as the princess's team left the city tomorrow, they should immediately close the city gates and not let them enter the city.
So, people on both sides seemed to have telepathy and made the same decision.
What General Weiwu didn't know was that his decision would inadvertently help Gao Zhijun.
He didn't even know that this was his last decision because he wanted to be friends with the King of Hell.
On the other side, Tianlang and Polang also secretly dealt with the deputy general without anyone noticing.
The next day, Gao Zhijun got up early in the morning. Mo Xue helped her pack her luggage and called her to have breakfast.
"Princess, time for breakfast!"
"Okay, after we finish eating we'll head to Linguan County."
Gao Zhijun walked out of the room and came to the main hall, where breakfast was already set on the table.
At this time, Huo Jinqian also got up and had breakfast with Canglang in his yard.
Tianlang and the others also had breakfast with the soldiers.
They knew early on that they were going to Linguan in Goryeo today.
After breakfast, the soldiers began to gather, waiting for the princess's order, and then they left Tongguan County in Daliang and set off for Linguan County in Goryeo.
The soldiers in the Tongguan military camp also got up early in the morning to train. General Pingxi felt strange that General Weiwu and his deputy general were not there today. Usually they got up early in the morning.
In the military camp, apart from General Weiwu, General Dingwei is the highest-ranking one, and then there is General Pingxi.
"Hello, Princess!"
When General Dingwei and General Pingxi saw Gao Zhijun coming, they quickly saluted her.
"Well, stand up! I came here to tell you that I will leave Tongguan today to recapture Linguan County in Goryeo."
After Gao Zhijun asked them to get up, she told them the purpose of coming here.
"What? We're crossing the Lin Pass today? Princess, why don't you rest for a few days before crossing!"
"Yes, how can we make such a hasty decision?
The soldiers have come all the way from the capital, exhausted and tired. They should rest for a few days. Also, for some reason, General Weiwu hasn't gotten up yet. How about we wait until he gets up before escorting the princess out of seclusion?"
Generals Dingwei and Pingxi were both shocked to see the princess leaving. Didn't she say she wanted to rest for a few days? Why was she leaving after only two days? Why was she making such a hasty decision?
So, both of them advised the princess to rest for a few more days.
In particular, General Pingxi also brought out General Weiwu.
"This princess said goodbye to General Weiwu yesterday, so there's no need to wait for him. He hasn't gotten up yet, probably because he stayed up too late dealing with military affairs last night. Please don't disturb him."
Of course Gao Zhijun knew the reason why General Weiwu could not get up was that he had been assassinated.
So, she found an excuse to fool them.
"The princess is right. The military camp has a lot of affairs to deal with, and it is indeed tiring for the general. We will not disturb the general's rest."
"In that case, let General Wei escort the princess out of seclusion, so that the general can rest for a while."
"Yes, we will escort the princess out of seclusion!"
"Princess, if the King of Goryeo goes back on his word, refuses to acknowledge the bet, and continues to bully you, you must tell General Wei, and General Wei will lead his troops there."
"If they don't admit their mistake, we'll beat them until they admit it. We have powerful weapons—the ten-shot crossbow and grenades—so we're not afraid of them at all."
General Dingwei and General Pingxi chatted with each other, which made Gao Zhijun feel warm in her heart. She smiled slightly and thought that these people were pretty good.
When they find out that General Weiwu is dead, they probably won't come to settle the score with me.
I just don’t know how many minions of the second prince are still in the military camp.
But it doesn’t matter. Once I leave Tongguan and go to Linguan in Goryeo, they won’t dare to chase me.
"Alright, I understand. I will leave with my soldiers."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she nodded to General Dingwei and the others, then turned around and left with Mo Xue to find Qinglong and the others.
General Dingwei and the generals in the military camp escorted the princess out of the camp.
Canglang quietly led 5,000 elite soldiers behind him. After leaving the military camp, they quietly left the main force and headed in the opposite direction to return to the capital.
The generals who had been following the princess did not notice such a big move.
They never dreamed that those soldiers would slip away in full view of the public and right under their noses.
After sending the princess and the others to the border gate, Gao Zhijun took the remaining 5,000 soldiers, pushed cannons, grenades and large crossbows, and then left the border of Daliang without looking back, and went to Linguan of Goryeo.
