Chapter 473 Parting Words
It's always good to carry some of these things with you, just in case and to be prepared for any eventuality.
Soon the guard returned and reported: "Boss, we've captured them all, five in total."
"Okay, take them all back."
Yu Po's complexion improved slightly. "Search the area again, make sure you don't leave any loose ends."
"Leave these people to the Censorate and let them investigate thoroughly before proceeding as I just said."
"All of you stay close, don't fall behind, full speed ahead."
"Yes." Having received their orders, the guards went about their respective duties.
Because of this unexpected event, not much time was wasted, so it did not affect the speed of progress, and Yu Po's mood was much more at ease.
The rest of the journey went smoothly without any further obstacles.
As dawn broke, Yu Po and her entourage arrived precisely at the main gate of Ziyun Manor.
Shen Tianjiao didn't sleep well last night either, as she kept thinking about what to do next, so she got up very early.
"Master, Yu Po and the others have arrived."
While helping Shen Tianjiao get dressed, Chun Chao reported to her the news he had just received.
"So fast?"
When the message was sent out last night, it was already very late. Shen Tianjiao calculated the time and thought that Yu Po would arrive at the earliest around noon. Who would have thought that she would arrive so early.
"Yes, Yu Po said the journey was smooth and there were no problems, so the speed was faster."
Chun Chao tidied up Shen Tianjiao's clothes until they were neat and tidy, without showing any flaws, before stopping.
"With such a rapid journey, can Chaoyun's body handle it?"
Shen Tianjiao wasn't worried about anything else; she was only concerned about Chaoyun's health.
If Chaoyun's health deteriorates, it will definitely delay the rest of the trip.
"Don't worry, Master. Yu Po said that Chao Yun's body is perfectly fine."
"She didn't get enough rest in the carriage, so Yu Po has arranged for her to rest."
Chun Chao replied, handing the freshly stewed bird's nest soup to Shen Tianjiao.
Shen Tianjiao didn't eat much yesterday. If we don't give her something good to eat now, she might not have time to eat when she gets busy.
"Send some of this to Chaoyun as well."
While eating the bird's nest soup, Shen Tianjiao didn't forget Chaoyun. Only by ensuring that Chaoyun's health didn't cause any problems could this trip to Southern Chu go smoothly.
"Don't worry, my lady, I have already prepared it for Chaoyun."
Chun Chao naturally knew what Shen Tianjiao was most worried about, and she had already made preparations long ago without Shen Tianjiao having to tell her.
"Ah That's good."
Shen Tianjiao quickly finished the bird's nest soup in her bowl and ordered, "Go and call Yu Po over."
"Yes."
After tidying up the things on the table in front of him, Chun Chao quietly left.
Yu Po arrived quickly, "Master."
"Well, sit down."
Upon hearing Yu Po's voice, Shen Tianjiao raised her head and put the map in her hand aside.
After Yu Po sat down, Shen Tianjiao pushed the bird's nest soup, steamed buns, pastries and other things on the table toward Yu Po.
"Eat quickly. You haven't rested all night, and you'll have to keep going on the road soon. How can you maintain your strength if you don't eat something?"
Yu Po glanced at the food in front of her, and without any hesitation, she began to eat.
In front of Shen Tianjiao, Yu Po was not as reserved and obedient as the others.
After all, Yu Po had been with Shen Tianjiao the longest and had the deepest feelings for her.
As Shen Tianjiao's bodyguard, Yu Po once followed Shen Tianjiao, and the two went through many things together.
Their relationship is now superficially that of master and servant, but in reality, they are more accurately described as friends, conjoined sisters.
They truly achieved it; their fates were intertwined, one prospered as one, and suffered as one.
If either of them gets into trouble, the other won't have an easy time either.
Yu Po ate at the same speed as Shen Tianjiao; in the blink of an eye, she had finished everything in front of her.
After seeing that Yu Po had finished eating, Shen Tianjiao said, "The reason I asked you to go to Nan Chu this time is because the situation is urgent and dangerous."
"Besides protecting Madam Duan and her daughter, you also have to complete many difficult tasks."
"Most importantly, no matter what method we use, we must ensure that the eldest son returns safely."
"He's handing over all the things he has to do to you."
Shen Tianjiao's biggest worry right now is the safety of her older brother, Shen Yiyang.
As long as Shen Yiyang can return safely, Yunli will not descend into chaos.
"Yes, understand."
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely bring the eldest young master back safely."
As the future heir of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, Yu Po knew just how important Shen Yiyang's safety was.
"it is good."
Shen Tianjiao looked up at Yu Po, feeling a little guilty. "I originally planned to let you stay by my side and rest for a while longer."
"But the problems in Southern Chu are really too thorny now."
"Before the great battle begins, we must remove all obstacles and not let them become obstacles to our progress."
Yu Po stood up and looked at Shen Tianjiao, saying, "Master, I know all this. If these obstacles are not cleared away, we in Yunli will never have a peaceful life."
"Don't worry, I will definitely assist Madam Duan in getting things done during this trip to Nan Chu."
Shen Tianjiao looked at Yu Po and sighed. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no one else available to help her, she wouldn't have been willing to let Yu Po take the risk.
“I know you can get things done. I’m not worried about your ability to do things. What I’m worried about now is your safety.”
"The situation in Southern Chu is complicated, unlike the missions you've carried out before."
"You can no longer act recklessly and recklessly, disregarding everything and only thinking about completing the mission."
"I not only want the eldest young master to return safely, but I also want you to return safely, understand?"
With red eyes, Yu Po looked at Shen Tianjiao and nodded, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."
At this moment, Yu Po's mood was also somewhat down. She was an orphan and didn't even know who her parents were.
Since she was taken in by the Marquis of Zhenbei and kept by Shen Tianjiao's side, Shen Tianjiao has been her only family in this world.
Everyone else she met was just someone she knew.
“My lord, please take good care of yourself even when I am not by your side.”
"I have already arranged the guards around you. If you need anything done, in addition to Ren Dongfang, you can also entrust it to Xing Jun."
"He is meticulous, bold, and highly capable. Most importantly, he was chosen by the Marquis, so his loyalty is beyond doubt."
The moment Yu Po received Shen Tianjiao's order, she quickly rearranged the guards around Shen Tianjiao in her mind.
Yu Po knew exactly who could do what, who could do what, and who could temporarily take her place. She had arranged everything for Shen Tianjiao, so that even if she wasn't by Shen Tianjiao's side, this defense system wouldn't have any problems.
"okay, I get it."
"Yu Po, the reason I'm sending you to Southern Chu with Madam Duan this time is firstly because she really needs a capable assistant there. With you by her side, you can play the most important role and ensure that things proceed smoothly."
"Secondly, the matter that the eldest young master wants to investigate is of utmost importance. Although this matter cannot be kept from Madam Duan, I hope that you can find out the truth before Madam Duan does."
"And even if Madam Duan investigates later, we need to obtain more valuable information before she does."
To put it bluntly, Duan Qingning is from Southern Chu. The reason she can make such solemn promises to Shen Tianjiao is because she is currently outnumbered and powerless to fight against her enemies.
But once Duan Qingning breaks free and gains control of her current situation, no one can predict how things will change.
People say and do what they are in different environments, and people will change when the environment changes.
There are no absolute friends in this world, but there are absolute interests.
Shen Tianjiao still had some reservations about Duan Qingning.
Duan Qingning is different from Ruan Yuhu. Ruan Yuhu can stay by Shen Tianjiao's side, but Duan Qingning will not. Moreover, Duan Qingning's style of doing things and the division of interests are different from Ruan Yuhu's.
Ruan Yuhu is from Yunli, and she prioritizes Yunli's interests when doing things.
However, Duan Qingning was a foreigner, and for her, only Southern Chu was her homeland.
Although many painful memories occurred there, some things are etched into one's bones and cannot be taken away at will.
No one can predict what the future holds, and for now, we can only take it one step at a time.
"I see."
The reason why Yu Po was chosen by the Marquis of Zhenbei to be Shen Tianjiao's close attendant was not only because she was a martial arts prodigy, but also because she was smart and quick-witted.
Yu Po clearly understood what Shen Tianjiao wanted to express.
"That's precisely why I'm worried about you this time."
The environment in Southern Chu was already complex, and it was already a very dangerous thing for Yu Po to lend Duan Qingning a hand and help her complete her great cause.
Moreover, now that Yu Po is going to finish the task that Shen Yiyang didn't complete, it's even more dangerous than that.
It's no wonder that Shen Tianjiao was so worried about Yu Po this time, because whatever Yu Po was going to do, or whatever went wrong, could very well put Yu Po to death.
"Master, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"This time when I go to Southern Chu, I'm bringing all the elites with me, each one of them capable of taking on ten men."
"Besides the secret guards, I also brought Fengming's people with me this time. I'm not doing this alone, but as a group of us."
"We will not only complete this mission successfully, but everyone will also return safely."
Yu Po was still very confident about this mission. Although the mission was difficult, which of the people who followed her had not experienced a life-or-death situation with swords and spears and the chance to survive a desperate situation?
They are all outstanding individuals who have emerged from millions of people. If they work together, let alone carrying out a dangerous mission, even sending them to the heavens would not be difficult.
Yu Po knew this matter was no small thing, and she had made thorough preparations before coming to Ziyun Manor.
Knowing that this mission was exceptionally dangerous and unlike any other, Yu Po brought her secret guards and Feng Ming's men with her.
Yu Po was not a reckless person; she knew what to do and when.
"Whoa!"
Shen Tianjiao sighed. To accomplish something great, one always has to pay a price and take risks.
"Yu Po, listen carefully. Although this mission is indeed very important to Yun Li's future, the lives of each of you are equally important."
"If any uncontrollable factors occur, then we must immediately abandon this mission and do everything we can to bring them back safely."
"You must remember what I'm saying, understand?"
Shen Tianjiao was a decisive and ruthless person. How could she not know that sometimes, in order to achieve the greatest benefit, someone always has to make a sacrifice?
But she didn't want this person to be Yu Po, nor did she want it to be anyone in Fengming.
The longer Shen Tianjiao remained connected to the original body, the deeper her bonds with those around her became.
The original owner of this body knew what kind of person Yu Po was, and what kind of people those little girls in Fengming were, as did Shen Tianjiao.
That's why Shen Tianjiao was willing to give up this great opportunity rather than let any of them have any dangerous thoughts.
"Yes, I know."
Yu Po lowered her head and said, "I brought out a total of twenty people from Fengming this time, and there are thirty people in the Dark Guard Camp."
"I guarantee that all 51 of us, including myself, will return safely when the mission is completed."
Although Yu Po said that, in reality, from the moment she received this mission, she was already prepared to die.
Because she understood very well that this trip to Southern Chu was very important for both Shen Tianjiao and Southern Chu.
In Yu Po's heart, Shen Tianjiao was her only family in the world. For this only family, Yu Po would do anything for her, including giving up her own life.
Yunli is the place where she was born and raised. In order to protect Yunli and spare it from the suffering of war in the future, Yu Po is willing to give her life for it.
Yu Po understood Shen Tianjiao's grand ambitions and knew why she would choose to wage war against the six kingdoms of the Nine Provinces instead of living a peaceful life.
If Yunli continues like this, it will eventually be swallowed up by other countries.
