It was a dark and windy night.
"Your Highness, why do you want to hand over the control of the Imperial Army? Won't the Crown Prince be like a tiger that has grown wings?! "
Lo Qi asked in confusion.
On horseback, Gong Jue leisurely trotted along.
"Because I don't need it anymore."
Don't need it? Lo Qi was even more confused. Who would complain about having too many subordinates?
He looked at the three thousand people behind him. These people were willing to follow Gong Dai from the Imperial Army. In other words, they would become Gong Dai's private army and were all loyal. If they could leave with Gong Dai, they probably didn't have any relatives to worry about.
They left the city in the middle of the night under the Emperor's order to build the national highway.
However, once they were out of the city, Gong Dai reined in his horse and said to Lo Qi, "You take your men and leave first. I still have things to do."
Luo Qi didn't dare to ask about Gong Jue's whereabouts. He received the order and left first. Gong Jue only selected fifty people to stay behind, then turned around and went to another road.
Gong Che kept pushing him. Although it was exactly what he wanted, he had already achieved his goal. Before leaving, how could he not return the favor?
Gong Dai sneered with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes.
Gong Che also knew that Gong Dai wouldn't let him go. When he thought of Gong Dai leaving in the middle of the night, Gong Che wasn't happy at all. Instead, he was angry!
It was like punching cotton, but he couldn't go against the Emperor's will.
Gong Che's jade-like fingers moved around the map. This map was the distribution map of the capital. Gong Che's family was big and many of his strongholds were in the capital. Gong Dai would definitely make him suffer a great loss … Therefore, he hesitated between the Dragon Tiger Gorge and the Hundred Cities Barracks.
Dragon Tiger Gorge was where Gong Che's own fleet was docked. It was very safe. There were mountains on two sides, water on one side, and only one way out. If Gong Dai went there, he would be like a turtle in a jar. He might even be able to kill him!
Gong Dai's military power was handed over to one of his subordinates. Gong Dai was very familiar with this place, and it would be easy for him to play tricks there. These two places were very far apart, and Gong Dai had few subordinates. It was impossible for him to go to both places. So, which place would he choose?
No matter what, it was easier to attack the Hundred Cities Barracks, and there was no risk. However, Gong Dai might take risks.
Gong Che reclined in his chair and let go of his thoughts.
Suddenly, there was a sudden clap of thunder. It was raining again.
Under the drizzle, Gong Dai and his group galloped towards a certain place. His goal had never changed.
Little Seven followed him. He knew that the Prince was definitely going to find trouble with the Crown Prince. However, they only had so many people. Could they succeed?
With so many people, it was not enough to go to the Hundred Cities Barracks. However, it was enough to go to Dragon Tiger Gorge!
Gong Dai closed his eyes and allowed the rain to wet his hair and clothes. However, he could smell the scent of freedom.
Gong Che also opened his eyes and quickly ordered people to go out!
His subordinate, Mu Yue carefully asked, "Your Highness, where are we going?"
Gong Che said without turning his head, "Gather the entire army. We are going to Dragon Tiger Gorge!"
He did not have any plans to split up the army because he wanted to directly kill Gong Dai! He predicted that Gong Dai would definitely go to Dragon Tiger Gorge. That place was dangerous, but there was no defense. Gong Dai would definitely go there!
The night was pitch-black. Under the illumination of the palace lanterns, the raindrops formed a line. Even though it was summer, people could still feel the chill!
Gong Che's entire army was mobilized. The momentum was definitely not small. When Gong Cheng heard the report, he sneered. If either Gong Che or Gong Dai died, perhaps it would be a good thing. In any case, if he interfered, the situation would become even more out of control.
However, although he said that he was cold-blooded, in fact, he was so worried that he could not sleep at all. He did not want to send his son away.
The rainy night seemed to have sped up the dangerous pace. Gong Jue and the others were focused on their journey. No one spoke, and everyone's faces were grim. They knew that Longhu Gorge was a dangerous place. Once they were surrounded, it would be a dead end!
"Your Highness, we have arrived at Dragon Tiger Gorge!"
Little Seven said. The first thing they saw were countless ships between the two mountains. The soldiers guarding the ships saw them and quickly stopped them.
Gong Dai did not say much. He pulled out his narrow sword. The sword shook and countless water droplets were scattered.
"Kill."
He gave the order softly, but it was as sharp as the edge of a sword.

GongYimo, who was far away in the north, was somewhat absent-minded. Liu Jin kept toasting her, as if he wanted to make her drunk.
She was at a loss on how to find out Bai Ji's whereabouts. Even if she kidnapped Liu Jin or killed him, what if his subordinates killed Bai Ji in anger?
Suddenly, she felt something under her clothes. She lifted it up and saw a black and gray monkey lying under her clothes. It was obviously exhausted.
She did not know why it could find her from so far away and follow her. For no reason, it made GongYimo's heart feel warm. It came at the right time.
She poked it with her hand. The monkey glared at her and turned over unhappily.
At this time, GongYimo saw something hanging on its chest. She took it out and saw that it was a bamboo slip. She opened it and saw a letter inside.
Strange … Could it be that this monkey met someone?
She opened the paper and saw that it was full of words. GongYimo did not recognize any of them. Since she did not recognize them, she wanted to keep them for later. However, those words seemed to have magical powers. She clearly did not recognize them, but she read them carefully one by one … GongYimo frowned and threw the letter into her space.
At this time, Liu Jin and the others were surrounded by many women. These were the military prostitutes in the camp. This kind of behavior was definitely not something that Bai Ji could tolerate. They must have been found after Liu Jin took over. From this, one could see the difference in character between the two.
GongYimo pulled the little monkey's ear and said softly.
"Sleep later. Go and do something for me."
The little monkey moved its little body and pointed its butt at her. It was still angry! It did not want to care about this woman.
GongYimo was speechless. She pulled its ear again and said fiercely, "Hurry up, or I will eat you! I heard that monkey brains are very nutritious … "
As soon as she said that, the little monkey clawed back! This person was simply a pervert!
GongYimo smiled, "Go and look at every corner of the camp. There is a place that must be heavily guarded. Moreover, there is a person. I want to find him!"
The little monkey tilted its head and thought for a while.
"Do you understand?" GongYimo looked at it threateningly. It shrunk its body and hurriedly left.
At this time, Liu Jin inadvertently saw a black shadow. Perhaps it was some small animal? He did not care about it and walked towards GongYimo with a wine glass.
After drinking some wine, his lust increased. Looking at GongYimo's beautiful face, he could not suppress the thoughts in his heart.
"Princess … You are a person who knows how to enjoy life. Why … would you like that gigolo Bai Qiyou?"
