Five days later, all the prefects from other prefectures in Mobei gathered in Xinliang.

Although they didn't know what it was, His Highness asked the guards to send an urgent letter.

When they received the letter, they rushed in the direction of Xin Liang, and finally gathered together today.

At this time, the city wall of Xinliang has been built, and the city gate is thick and majestic. On the top of the city wall is the word "Xinliang" written by Xie Changshi himself.

The people were mostly working at this time, but the city gate was not as lively as the city walls in other states, and seemed deserted.

Several people moved in unison, turned over and dismounted, and walked on the road paved with bluestones, always feeling a little unbelievable.

Who would have thought that this place was deserted two years ago, but now there is a city.

The outer city is where the common people live. As soon as I get closer, I can hear the sound of children laughing and playing, occasionally mixed with the gentle scolding of mothers, and the breath of life rushes towards my face.

A little further inside is the temporary station of His Highness and the others.

The house of Xie Changshi and others has been built, but His Highness's Prince's Mansion is still almost finished, so Xie Changshi and others did not move there and lived here with His Highness.

But after not coming for a while, they felt a very strange feeling.

Everyone found the place by familiar roads. A guard saw them coming and hurriedly led them to the meeting hall.

During this period, Gu Yuzhi's rest time was greatly reduced. As long as he finished his homework, he would study the art of war with Mr. Huo in the conference hall.

Mr. Huo even had a sand table made and placed it in the meeting hall. When they were a little tired from studying, the two of them went to the sand table to practice again.

Although he knew that he still had a lot to learn, he still felt a little depressed when Mr. Huo killed him to pieces every time.

When Magistrate Huang and others entered, Gu Yuzhi was defeated by Mr. Huo again.

He looked at his occupied territory on the sand table with a bulging face, and said angrily: "Mr. Huo, I haven't learned this strategy yet, it's unfair!"

Listening to Gu Yuzhi's complaints, Mr. Huo laughed heartily and restored the sand table to its original state: "Your Highness, you know that things on the battlefield change rapidly. It is impossible for you to be fair on the battlefield."

"The Beidi people are invading. They will not greet you in advance and tell you that Your Majesty King Wen will take action. We are about to invade. You must be prepared..."

Gu Yuzhi couldn't help but laugh after listening to Mr. Huo's words. He scratched his head and said, "Of course I know, that's what I said."

He puffed up his face: "I lost to Mr. Huo, why don't you let me say something?"

Only then did Xie Changshi on the side bring a cup of hot tea over: "Your Highness, please use some tea..."

He raised his chin slightly: "Prefect Huang and others have arrived. I will inform Chen Dianyi and others."

Qin Yuanjian also arrived in the past two days. After learning the news, he was not idle. He took his two novice apprentices to dig up herbs all over the mountains and fields, hoping to get more important medicines such as hemostatic powder before the war came. Be prepared.

Although the atmosphere between Gu Yuzhi and Mr. Huo was very relaxed, Huang Zhifu and others still noticed an undercurrent. They looked at each other, bowed respectfully to Gu Yuzhi, and then stood aside quietly.

Chen Dianyi and others arrived quickly, and after a hurried salute, they sat down according to the instructions of taking care of Yu Zhi.

Only then did Gu Yuzhi look around the meeting hall. He said with a puffed face: "Prefect Huang, Prefect Wei, I have summoned you here today because I have something very important to tell you." Prefect Huang and others slowly said They looked at each other and said nothing.

Gu Yuzhi continued: "Some time ago, Magistrate Ke sealed off a street in Quanzhou. The people living in this street are the family members of high-status soldiers in the Mobei Army."

"These people go back to discuss bad things every time they take a break. Magistrate Ke has found out that the last owner of this street was a man named Jiang Ningqi."

Gu Yuzhi curled his lips and continued: "Jiang Ningqi is from Jiangnan."

Xie Changshi said that he had never heard of this man named Jiang Ningqi, but since this person could help the King of Chu go to find Beidi people outside the pass, he must be an aide whom the King of Chu trusted very much.

By naming Jiangnan, he was telling Magistrate Huang and others that Jiang Ningqi was from the King of Chu's brother.

"While he was in Quanzhou, he found someone to secretly buy a lot of salt. Before Magistrate Ke found his residence and arrested him, he took the salt with him and went to Beidi."

The words "I left seclusion and went to Beidi" were like a pebble falling on a calm lake, making the hearts of Huang Zhifu and others ripple in circles, making them unable to calm down for a long time.

Their whole bodies froze, always feeling that they had heard something wrong or failed to understand what His Highness meant.

King Chu, King Chu is a prince!

When the late emperor was in power, the king of Chu was the most favored.

Even now that the emperor has ascended the throne, King Chu has not been wronged at all. Why would he do such a stupid thing!
Magistrate Wei looked at Mr. Huo without blinking.

From the moment he stood outside the door and watched this man and His Highness playing on the battlefield, he felt that this man was inexplicably familiar.

Just when His Highness finished speaking, Magistrate Wei suddenly stood up and looked at Mr. Huo with eyes full of disbelief.

He opened his mouth and murmured: "It's you, Huo..."

As soon as the word Huo came out, Xie Changshi interrupted him quickly: "This is Mr. Huo, who taught His Highness the art of war. It's your first time meeting him, so don't feel weird."

Although Xin Liang is one of his own, there are still some taboos that need to be noted. It is good that everyone is well aware of Mr. Huo's identity, there is no need to shout about it.

Wei Chengrui looked strange, and Xie Changshi and others stopped him in time. Even the other people who had never seen Mr. Huo had some vague guesses.

For a moment, everyone looked as surprised as when Magistrate Wei first noticed it, and then everyone was a little worried, wondering if the emperor knew that His Highness did this.

If His Highness hides this from the Emperor, the thunder will explode sooner or later. Should they help hide it, or should they?
Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with contradictions for a moment.

Seeing them like this, Xie Changshi smiled and explained: "Don't worry, of course the emperor is aware of Mr. Huo's existence, and Mr. Huo's current status is also authorized by the emperor."

Gu Yuzhi was a little confused when he heard it before, but now he understood and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry! Brother Huang asked me to come to Mobei. The most important thing is to find Mr. Huo and protect the safety of Mobei."

After hearing Gu Yuzhi's words, these people breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mr. Huo with awe in their eyes.

Who in the Sang Dynasty has not heard of Mr. Huo's name?

Now that Mr. Huo is guarding Xinliang, they have more hopes for protecting Mobei.
