"Mr. Gao, coming to the border like this, did you meet with any difficulties on the road?" Gu Chengyu thought of Prince Gong and Prince Jing; this man had brought so few attendants yet still managed to arrive at Yuhe Pass. It showed that those two also did not wish to confront the Emperor head‑on just yet.
"Of course! Only after reaching the border did I learn that the traitorous Prince Gong and Prince Jing have already clashed. Prince Gong is truly arrogant! But Prince Jing's strength is not to be underestimated either—he was actually able to hold Fengqing Prefecture. It really is astonishing."
Mr. Gao's probing gaze swept over Gu Chengyu. Seeing that Gu Chengyu only lifted his tea cup calmly, a faint smile on his face and eyes filled with deeper meaning as he looked at him, Mr. Gao could not help feeling somewhat abashed.
