But besides relief, Emperor Long An also felt a headache. Yan Wang's demeanor was usually gentle, considerate, and not arrogant, but it was not the same when doing business. He dared to throw his Imperial Sword back to him when the soldiers surrounded the city. Now, as he was in charge of the Grand Council, no matter who was in his hands, he would not acknowledge them.

Li Feng: "No need to talk about this anymore."

Chang Geng: "My brother, there are a lot of people in Jiangbei, in all directions. We don't know what the exact situation is. We haven't even spared them a look, we are only talking about how to settle them in the court. Isn't that the same as talking strategy only on paper? Each officer here has their own reasons, no one can come up with a solution. It's better for your brother to travel there and report back to Your Majesty."

The corner of Li Feng's eyes twitched. At that moment, Gu Yun, who had always been a wallflower, came out slowly and leisurely, "Since Yan Wang has the heart, Your Majesty should agree to it. If corrupt officials run rampant in Jiangbei, others may not be able to withstand their weight. If you do not feel assured, Your Subject can escort him along the way. Is it not just a number of vagrants and bandits? They need not be taken into account."

Chang Geng was stunned by his sudden appearance; they had not arranged this beforehand.

Shen Yi peeked at Gu Yun secretly, and Gu Yun took advantage of his lowered head to send a glance at him. It was improper no matter how he looked at it. Shen Yi turned away as if his tooth ached, feeling that the adulterer in the story would have the same face.

If these words were to come from someone else, it would seem arrogant and unreliable, but coming from Gu Yun's mouth, it was incomparably absolute.

Gu Yun thought about it, then added a ready-made excuse: "The land of Jiangnan must be recovered. Your Subject also wanted to explore the front line. These few days I had intended to request for a decree to travel there. I can escort His Highness Yan Wang on the way, I promise I will bring him back to you safely."

As soon as the Marquis of Order stepped out, there was no need to argue any longer.

The next day, Li Feng ordered that Yan Wang would be the chief inspector. Xu Ling, the right deputy inspector of the Inspectorate, would be his assistant, thoroughly investigating the case of the hidden epidemic in Jiangbei, and the Marquis of Order would escort them along the way. They would also be accompanied by Ge Chen, a member of the Ling Shu Institute, to assess the equipment of the Westerner Army in Jiangnan.
