Gu Yun did not say anything for a long time, but this time, he finally did not give an empty reply. When they were about to arrive at the backyard, Gu Yun suddenly whispered: "I have thought about it, I do not know."

Shen Yi was speechless for a moment.

Even if it was a vow or oath, it was not as shocking as these words in his ears.

When they entered the backyard, they saw that the old Master Shen who was rumored to be bedridden was practicing martial arts with overflowing energy, with no intention of dying at all. Gu Yun's visit made the old man very happy, he pulled him over to talk about his health-preserving experience. He also kindly invited Marshal Gu to play hand pushing with him.

Fearing that his father who bit off more than he could chew would be pushed all the way to the coffin by General Gu, Shen Yi stopped the invitation with a cold sweat and took Gu Yun to rest.

Gu Yun fell asleep up until the afternoon. Before he could wake up completely, he was dragged up by Shen Yi, who barged in. "The Emperor urgently ordered you to enter the palace."

Gu Yun rushed to the palace and was first shocked by the sight of the guard who had been assigned to Chang Geng by himself. The guard clearly appeared to have gone through a long journey, he was in a very bad state, with wounds and bloodstains on his body. Gu Yun's heartbeat sharply quickened. He moistened his lips with difficulty, reluctantly restrained his emotions and quickly paid respect to Li Feng.

"Uncle will be relieved of courtesy," Li Feng, a haggard-faced man, dragged his sick body up and turned to the guard, "What is Yan Wang's situation?"

The guard bowed his head and said to Li Feng, "Under the Marshal's command, your subordinate accompanied and protected His Royal Highness and Master Xu to investigate the epidemic in Jiangbei. Yang Rong Gui harbored an ulterior motive, we had to travel to Jiangbei Camp to report this, losing communication with Yan Wang for a while. Later, Yang Rong Gui went north, Marshal was unsure whether Yan Wang was being held captive by him or whether he had found a way to escape. On one hand, he took people back to the capital, on the other, he left me and the others in Yangzhou Prefecture to try to find a trace of Yan Wang..."

These were the words that Gu Yun had instructed them in advance. In fact, when Chang Geng entered Sha Hai group, the guards stayed behind in Yangzhou.

Later, when Gu Yun departed to the capital city, still not feeling reassured about Chang Geng, he had left them in Yangzhou and let them continue to search for Chang Geng's whereabouts.

Gu Yun frowned and suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
