Gu Bei merely snorted, not even bothering to respond.
The vice general looked at his back filled with worry, but could only helplessly follow.
At the back of the team, a man was tightly bound to a tree, his expression indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
As soon as Gu Bei came over, someone handed him a letter, which had just been searched from the bound man.
"Young master, I am under the command of the Heir of King Nan’an. This time, by the order of the princely heir, I came to deliver a letter to the young master." The bound man, named Liu Jin, was a minor figure among Nan Jin Yu’s Dark Guard Team.
Gu Bei expressionlessly took the letter, opened it, and upon seeing the content, was engulfed in a state of incredulous shock.
Soon after, immense joy followed, making his hand holding the letter tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing this, the vice general drew the large knife he carried and pointed it at Liu Jin.
Gu Bei hurriedly shouted, "Put the knife down!"
Then, he stepped forward to directly face Liu Jin, who was bound in front of him, "You are a person of the Heir of King Nan’an, is she with him?"
"I do not know. I am merely following orders to deliver the letter." Liu Jin replied.
Even though he didn’t get the answer he wanted, it didn’t matter because Gu Bei would personally verify it.
"Release him, we are going to Prince Nan’an Mansion." Gu Bei turned back, the urgency in his heart made him wish he had wings.
"Young master, my heir is not currently at the mansion." Liu Jin, having been ordered only to deliver the letter, was unsure if he could divulge the heir’s whereabouts, so he was momentarily hesitant.
"Where is he?" Gu Bei asked. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Qingshan Town." After some thought, Liu Jin decided to say it.
Since the heir sent the letter, it meant he knew Gu Bei, and after seeing the letter, Gu Bei became anxious to find the heir, indicating it was something of utmost importance.
However, he left some room by not mentioning Taohua Village.
"Then let’s go to Qingshan Town, you lead the way." Gu Bei said looking at Liu Jin.
He was young, but far from foolish, especially given the experiences he had encountered lately, which made him grow up almost overnight.
Not being willing to disclose the exact address wasn’t an issue; as long as the person was with him, it was fine.
The vice general, however, panicked, "Young master, you promised the prince you must rush to the northern lands immediately!"
Gu Bei calmed down, and said after a moment, "I won’t go back on my promise, but I must meet with the Heir of King Nan’an first."
Having stayed in Prince Zhenbei’s Mansion for some time, Gu Bei knew it was not peaceful there. His sister was still young, and he was about to go to the frontier. Everyone around him was sent by that man, and there was no one he could trust, so he could not mention his sister yet.
He must first see his sister before making any decisions.
The vice general, seeing that Gu Bei ignored his words, stepped forward and knelt before him to block his way, "The matter of going to the frontier cannot be delayed. Please reconsider, young master."
Gu Bei’s face darkened, and his voice carried a strong sense of coldness, "I said, I will go to the frontier!"
At that moment, Gu Bei reminded the vice general of the scene on the banks of the Great West River.
That ruthless and bloodthirsty child made even this battle-hardened man feel a chill down his spine.
Liu Jin had already been untied, and Gu Bei knew the vice general would not take him to Qingshan Town. Being young, he could not ride alone, so he simply instructed Liu Jin, "You come with me, take me to see your heir!"
Looking at the vice general, who watched like a tiger ready to pounce, and the surrounding people, Liu Jin hesitated slightly.
Just then, the vice general quickly reached behind Gu Bei and swiftly sealed his acupoint, causing Gu Bei to fall into a deep sleep in anger.
