"Master," Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Master, are you really going to let the young lady go like this? This old servant is worried..." "Songbai. I understand what you mean, but looking at Fei'er's expression, she doesn't seem to be faking it. She seems to know something. Yunfei and Fei'er are both very important to me. I want them to return safely. Since Fei'er is confident, let her try. All the elite cavalry are in her hands. I have also ordered them to swear to protect Fei'er with their lives. Fei'er will definitely be fine."
Bai Zhi was over sixty years old. He had been serving Prime Minister Gu since before he was even born. He had no family of his own, so the Gu Mansion was his home. He had watched them grow up and forge their careers. He knew what Prime Minister Gu was thinking. He was simply worried about Miss Fei'er's mischief. But he also understood the desire of a father to seize his child's slim chance of survival.
Gu Yufei and her second brother Gu Yunting quickly packed their bags. Due to the urgency of the mission, Gu Yufei did not bring Chunhua and Xiayu with her.
When the two of them said goodbye, their eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying. Gu Yufei comforted them a few words and then set off.
Gu Yufei said little on the way. She was trying to recall the description in the book: the cave was located at the foot of a canyon cliff. The mountain path was extremely rugged, with gravel rolling down from time to time, and only enough space for one person to pass. Gu Yufei recalled the description in the book, and then based on the march map, she determined that the cave should be in the Lingshan Canyon north of the city.
In fact, Gu Yunfei's army had already repelled the foreign enemies.
Knowing they could not defeat him, the enemy tried every possible means to bribe Qin Hui, intending to kill Gu Yunfei on his way back.
Gu Yufei and Gu Yunting rode together, the cool moonlight casting a shadow on the young girl's face as she studied the map with intense concentration. Gu Yunting felt a sense of strangeness about his fourth sister. When had she learned to read a marching map? And how had she known her eldest brother's location?
There were some bumps on the horse's back. The horse was an experienced warhorse. It moved left and right on the mountain road. Gu Yunting did not dare to neglect it for a moment.
After a night of travel, Gu Yufei and the others arrived at the foot of Lingshan Canyon.
Gu Yufei had worked in geography in her previous life and was quite familiar with geographical surveying, environmental monitoring, etc. She insisted on standing at the front of the team and leading them forward.
Lingshan Canyon wasn't as well-maintained as modern canyon scenic spots. Its ecology was pristine, and gravel was widespread, so even the slightest mistake could lead to a fall into the abyss. Furthermore, the gravel had poor load-bearing properties, so Gu Yufei selected some lighter soldiers to follow her.
For safety, they were tied together with ropes, which were pulled by the soldiers at the top. These ropes were made of special silk threads that would never break.
Gu Yufei often climbed mountains in her previous life. Faced with such a dangerous environment, she remained calm and cautious.
Few women could do this, and the soldiers behind her couldn't help but admire Miss Gu.
Gu Yunting stood above the canyon, observing the terrain, feeling worried for his sister. He didn't want her to take any risks, but Gu Yufei insisted on leading the charge and carefully analyzed the terrain with him. He had no choice but to stay behind to ensure her safety.
The cave where Gu Yunfei was should be in the center of the canyon. There was no sunlight here. Gu Yufei could only feel her way forward by groping for the stones. Suddenly, her right hand felt empty and she touched an open area.
When the operation began, Gu Yufei instructed everyone to keep quiet as much as possible because she was worried that Qin Hui and the others were still nearby.
