The emperor's dark eyes lit up slightly, and he rested his hands behind his back. Although his expression was serious, there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

"Gu Yan'an, do you have any ideas?"

Since everyone around is afraid, why not send someone who can guard the place out to intimidate them!

The other officials around him remained silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Gu Yanan.

Zhao Moxuan slowly lowered his eyes, feeling a little nervous in his heart, but he showed no emotion on the surface and just listened carefully.

Hearing this, Gu Yan'an pretended to be helpless. In front of everyone, there was not much emotion in his heart. He just took a step forward.

"Since none of you have any ideas, and the emperor has sent me to get information, I will have no choice but to take over this matter."

He has always had a lot of clever ideas, and apart from those who are familiar with him, no one else knows much about them.

After hearing this, the emperor finally showed a smile on his face, but he felt quite helpless in his heart and waved his hand in front of everyone.

"That's all for today, let's adjourn!"

After waiting for the emperor to leave, everyone planned to leave. Zhao Wenxuan deliberately slowed down his pace and slowly moved to Gu Yan'an's side, with a hint of lightness in his voice.

"Gu Yan'an, this Gutian County is not a good place. If you are not careful, you may lose your life. You must be careful."

There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and his words were full of concern.

Gu Yan'an's attitude was a little distant. The corners of his mouth slowly raised up and he nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your concern, Second Prince. Since the Emperor has decided to send me, I have my own plans."

All eyes were on him, but he didn't care about other people's looks and just turned and left.

After returning to the mansion, Gu Yan'an felt a little worried and quickly returned to the study.

As soon as he walked in, he saw the secret guard standing beside him, and then he spread out the letter in his hand.

"What is the situation now?"

Gutian County is full of dangers and must have been oppressed for a long time. If he hadn't used a little trick this time, these people might not have been known to the emperor until now.

The secret guard had a solemn look on his face, his tone was extremely cold and his brows were furrowed.

"General Anding has not been brought back. According to our people, General Anding is trapped in Gutian County and is now unable to escape. We cannot rescue him."

When he heard the news, his face was very heavy, and now he is even more worried.

Gu Yanan stopped what he was doing instantly, slowly raised his dark eyes, narrowed them slightly, and revealed a hint of dangerous light.

"It seems that they have already noticed something and must have started further investigation."

He has been observing this matter for some time, and now even the three princes are paying more attention to it. He has gained a lot in recent times.

The secret guard's expression showed a hint of helplessness. He finally let out a breath slowly, his brows slightly furrowed.

"The Third Prince has been on the move quite frequently recently, and even sent quite a few people to Gutian County. He was quite secretive when doing things, and basically traveled at night."

It is not far from here to Gutian County, and some money needs to be transported back frequently. I believe the third prince must be a little scared at this time.

Gu Yanan instantly showed a sneer on his face, then wrote the letter on the table with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"The Third Prince must be careful. If he is discovered, the Emperor will not let him off easily."

The most important thing is that with such evil ambitions, how can one be a good monarch or minister?

……

In Gutian County, Liu Dashan stayed in the yard, feeling a little worried and his brows tightly furrowed.

"The situation is so complicated now, it's not easy for me to leave the city gate, especially during this period of time, many soldiers in the county are guarding, it seems that they must have discovered something."

Hearing this, Xiaogui's face showed some worry, and finally he sighed.

"What should we do? If we continue like this, it's only a matter of time before we are exposed!"

In recent times, there have been more and more of these soldiers, especially those who have been patrolling nearby, and sometimes they even break into other people's homes.

It looked as if they were looking for something, and they strictly prohibited people from leaving the city, while also not allowing others to come in.

Liu Dashan shook his head slightly, with his hands behind his back. There was no emotion in his eyes, not even much fluctuation.

"I thought about it before I came here. It's very likely that I'll be exposed. But the information here can't be transmitted out. There's no way to let the prince know."

What worried him more was that these people could not escape from the sea of ​​suffering and could only be mistreated.

Gu Yan'an always cares about the people and discovered something wrong with this place a long time ago. Fortunately, he sent people out to investigate in advance, otherwise the next things would be difficult.

Xiaogui felt even more helpless. He paced back and forth, tapped his hands lightly, and finally frowned.

"The prince will definitely not ignore us. I believe he will come to pick us up after a while."

He didn't know much about what was going on between them, but he was worried and anxious that the news couldn't be passed on.

Liu Dashan nodded slowly, probably understanding what he meant, with a hint of comfort in his tone.

"The prince will definitely come. They should be investigating outsiders during this period. I am a little worried that they will investigate us."

He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, he just knew that it was painful to see the people suffer, especially since he was a prince and the local officials were mistreating the people so much.

He is simply unworthy of the clothes he is wearing and has made the people extremely disappointed!

When Xiaogui heard this, his brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (川) character. The feeling of worry seemed unable to disappear, and he finally let out a long breath.

"You don't have to worry about this. Some of the neighbors around here are old and don't go out often. Besides, there were people living in this yard before."

He was very afraid that this problem would be exposed, so he specially selected it, and now it finally comes in handy.

Liu Dashan's heart sank slightly and he nodded slowly. His expression was still very serious and he didn't even show any emotional fluctuations.

"We must be extra careful during this period. Let's not go out for now. We must not be reckless and must not let them find us."

There have indeed been some things that have alarmed the enemy during this period. There have been too many things that have attracted their attention, which is indeed dangerous.
