Gu Yun: "What are you waiting for? Capture their leader, tonight we will go and get a free meal at Lou Lan's princes' place!"

As he said this, he lightly pressed on his eyelids.

Shen Yi: "Did something happen to your eyes again..."

"No," Gu Yun complained, "My eyelids keep jumping, perhaps..."

He was not yet finished when a guard suddenly came forward and took out a letter: "Marshal!"

Gu Yun: "Oh, where is it from?"

Guard: "Home letter from the manor that was sent to Xi Liang Gate. The family servant was unable to find you; thus, he transferred it to Lou Lan's people to deliver here."

Maybe it was a reply from Chang Geng.

Gu Yun thought as his hand opened it up, he had been looking forward to it greatly.

Then Shen Yi saw Gu Yun's expression slowly change.

Shen Yi: "What's wrong?"

"Liao Ran, this bald donkey, best for him not to fall into my hands." Gu Yun said sullenly, walking back and forth in his tent with both hands behind his back, then kicked over the table: "Arrange a few Black Eagles for me; Ji Ping, you will temporarily take care of things here for me."

Shen Yi: "What?"

Gu Yun: "I am going to travel to Jiangnan."

Shen Yi shouted: "Ouch!... Ah, my jaw just dropped to my feet, it hurts - are you crazy? The Northwest commander of the defensive force is leaving his duty to travel to Jiangnan in secret; do you want to find death or rebel!?"

Gu Yun calmly replied: "Today, we have eliminated those desert bandits. For at least the next three to five months, this place should be able to stay peaceful. With the Black Eagle's speed, it will only take one or two days to arrive at Jiangnan. I will not delay for too long; after finding him, I will return immediately."

Shen Yi already took in a deep breath, ready to give a lengthy and eloquent argument, but before any of it could come out, Gu Yun had hit his lower abdomen with his elbow.

Shen Yi cried out as he bent over: "I haven't said anything yet!"

Gu Yun: "Just preventing the problem before it could happen."

That night, thirteen Black Cavalries captured the bandit leader and his underlings who had been hiding away for a long time within the depths of the desert after many days of clashing against them. Gu Yun listened to the report and gave out a short order - "Imprison them." But he did not rest at all afterward but prepared to leave right away that very same night.

Lou Lan Prince Ban E Duo already prepared the feast and wine, waiting to give the Black Iron Camp a grand reception. But as he arrived, he only saw Gu Yun changing into a Black Eagle armor suit in irritation.
