Chapter 206 No One Found

After a brief pause, Gu Wenbo finally spoke slowly and told the generals what he was thinking.

As soon as the words fell, everyone present fell into silence, followed by a burst of whispers.

Some generals showed admiration on their faces and expressed their appreciation and support for Gu Wenbo's courage and wisdom.

However, some generals frowned and shook their heads, expressing their strong opposition to Gu Wenbo taking the risk.

Faced with these completely different reactions, Gu Wenbo remained calm and looked forward with a firm gaze.

He knew that the future was uncertain, but for the sake of his country and the people, he was determined to move forward bravely.

After a heated debate, Gu Wenbo's firm attitude was ultimately not changed.

He turned around and said solemnly to Gu Wenzhi beside him, "Fourth brother, after I leave this time, all the affairs here will be entrusted to you."

"If my negotiations this time are unsuccessful, then you and the other generals must hold your ground and protect this hard-earned land beneath our feet! We must not allow the enemy to take advantage!"

After saying this, Gu Wenbo shook Gu Wenzhi's hand tightly, his eyes full of trust and expectation.

Gu Wenzhi's eyes were full of earnestness and eagerness. He walked quickly towards Gu Wenbo and said anxiously, "Brother, let me go with you! I..." Gu Wenbo interrupted him before he could finish his words.

Gu Wenbo frowned, his expression as serious as ice in the cold winter.

He said in a serious tone that left no room for doubt: "Fourth brother, this is an order. You must understand that I am the crown prince. This is not just a symbol of status, but also means that I bear the future and responsibility of the entire country."

"And you are the prince. There is a clear relationship between us, that of monarch and subject. The boundary between monarch and subject is like a chasm, uncrossable. In this relationship, you must obey me."

When Gu Wenzhi heard Gu Wenbo's decisive words, his lips trembled slightly. He wanted to say something but found that he had been suppressed by the cold logic of the monarch and his subjects, and there was no room for rebuttal at all.

He knew very well that in this feudal court with strict hierarchy, the prince's orders were like the will of heaven that could not be disobeyed.

A hint of helplessness and worry flashed across his eyes, but was quickly hidden.

Gu Wenzhi slowly and respectfully bowed, his movements as if meticulously calibrated. His body formed a humble arc as he whispered, "Yes, I will live up to the trust placed in me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Although his voice was calm, it could not hide a hint of bitterness.

Gu Wenbo's eyes were determined. He picked out only a few guards and resolutely boarded the boat.

The boat swayed slightly by the river, as if waiting for them to embark on an unknown journey.

Gu Wenbo was the first to step onto the boat. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step showed his courage and determination as the prince.

Several guards quickly followed and took their positions on the boat in an orderly manner. Their well-trained postures looked particularly upright in the sunlight.

Among these guards, one of them was actually He Yue.

With her own purpose and secrets in mind, she secretly followed them here.

She knew that her actions were full of risks and that she might be severely punished if discovered, but she did it without hesitation.

In order to successfully blend into this small team, she made careful preparations.

She cleverly hid herself among the soldiers who accompanied her, and tried her best to imitate those ordinary guards in terms of dress and behavior.

She was wearing a guard's uniform, the style and color of which were exactly the same as those of the other guards, with no difference.

The texture of the clothes was a little rough, and it caused some discomfort when rubbing against her skin, but she didn't care about that at the moment.

She also imitated the guards' walking posture, with firm and rhythmic steps, and the length of each step was consistent with everyone else.

She put a lot of effort into disguising her face.

She used some special materials to change her facial contours to make herself look more like a man.

Her eyebrows were thickened, and her eyes were deliberately made firm and cold, completely devoid of the feminine tenderness.

She tied her hair up and hid it in the guard's hat, without revealing the slightest flaw.

In this way, she cleverly followed the team along the way, and no one discovered her true identity.

To others, she was just an ordinary guard, silently performing her duties.

The small boat that Gu Wenbo and his companions were riding on left a long trail on the water and finally reached the shore.

The boat gently touched the rocks on the shore, making a slight impact sound.

Gu Wenbo was the first to step ashore from the boat. His boots made a rustling sound as they stepped on the sand and stones on the shore.

He looked around vigilantly, and several guards behind him got off the boat one after another and followed closely behind him.

However, not long after they left, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly sounded around them.

Before they could react, a group of soldiers appeared before them as if emerging from the ground.

These soldiers all had serious expressions, holding bows and arrows, and quickly surrounded Gu Wenbo and his men.

Their movements were in perfect unison, clearly a well-trained army.

The sunlight shone on their armor, reflecting a dazzling light.

In front of this group of soldiers stood a general, his figure tall and straight, his eyes piercing with coldness and majesty.

He looked Gu Wenbo up and down, his eyes full of scrutiny and suspicion, and then asked loudly, "Who is coming?"

His voice was like a huge bell, echoing on the empty shore, with unquestionable momentum.

Although Gu Wenbo was a little surprised, he was the prince of a big country after all and had seen many big scenes, so he quickly calmed down.

He calmly took out a letter from his arms. The envelope was beautifully crafted and had the seal of the royal family of Dahan Kingdom printed on it.

He stepped forward steadily, handed the letter to the general, and said in a calm tone, "I am Gu Wenbo, the crown prince of the Dahan Kingdom. I wish to see Emperor Yu. Please allow me to pass."

His voice was firm and powerful, and every word was pronounced clearly, showing his status and confidence.

The general was staring at Gu Wenbo with a sharp gaze, his eyes full of scrutiny and suspicion, as if he wanted to find out something from his expression and behavior.

Then, his gaze slowly shifted to the guards behind Gu Wenbo, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

After a brief pause, he waved his hand and shouted in a loud voice, "Capture them first and bring them back to the general for his decision."

After receiving the order, the soldiers behind him responded quickly and moved forward.
