Chapter 207 Waiting and Waiting

These soldiers were well-trained, their movements swift and orderly. They quickly surrounded Gu Wenbo and his guards, their bows and arrows still tightly grasped, ready to strike at any time.

Several soldiers came forward with ropes, ready to tie up Gu Wenbo and others.

There was no expression on their faces, they just mechanically carried out the orders given by the general.

Several guards became alert instantly, their eyes full of worry, and they moved quickly, tightly protecting Gu Wenbo.

Like loyal guards, they used their bodies to build a protective barrier, as if to resist the impending unknown danger.

Their hands unconsciously grasped the swords at their waists. Although they knew that resistance at this time might bring greater trouble, their instinctive desire to protect made their muscles tense, ready to deal with possible emergencies at any time.

Gu Wenbo was very calm. He knew very well that in this situation, resistance would only make the situation worse.

So he gently signaled to the guards not to resist. His calm expression seemed to have an invisible power that made the guards gradually relax their tense nerves despite their anxiety.

At this moment, Gu Wenbo's eyes inadvertently swept across the guards, and he suddenly found that among these guards, there was one person who seemed particularly different.

Everyone else showed some degree of nervousness, but this person showed no sign of nervousness at all.

This person was He Yue. When Gu Wenbo's eyes fell on her, He Yue was shocked. She knew that she had to be careful and not reveal her identity as a woman disguised as a man.

So she immediately lowered her head, trying to avoid Gu Wenbo's inquiring gaze.

Gu Wenbo felt that this person looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

This familiar feeling lingered in his mind, and he wanted to think about it carefully, trying to find clues about this person from his memory.

However, before he had time to think about it, the soldiers escorting them had become impatient.

These soldiers pushed Gu Wenbo and his guards roughly, and kept urging them to move faster.

Under this shove, Gu Wenbo could only temporarily put aside his doubts and walk forward with the soldiers.

His steps were slightly staggering, but his eyes remained firm. He knew that he had to remain calm and deal with the sudden change in front of him.

Soon, Gu Wenbo and his companions were escorted into the big tent in the military camp by a group of soldiers.

The big tent was located in the center of the military camp and looked quite tall. The cloth curtains on the top of the tent swayed gently in the breeze, as if foreshadowing the unknown things that were about to happen.

Around the big tent, soldiers came and went with serious expressions, each doing their own job. A tense and serious atmosphere permeated the tent.

When Gu Wenbo and others were taken into the big tent, many soldiers with long swords were immediately outside, ready for battle.

In order to prevent Gu Wenbo and his companions from cheating, Gu Wenbo and several guards were kept separately.

These soldiers stood tall and straight, like solemn statues, their eyes fixed on the entrance and exit of the tent.

The long swords in their hands flashed coldly in the sunlight, as if they would rush into the tent without hesitation if there was any disturbance.

Their existence was like a solid cage, trapping Gu Wenbo and others in the big tent.

At this moment, the general had already hurried to find their general with Gu Wenbo's letter.

He walked quickly, each step carrying a sense of mission, and quickly shuttled between the tents in the military camp.

He knew very well that this letter might be of great importance and dared not slack off in the slightest.

Wherever he passed, the soldiers saluted him, and he just nodded hurriedly and ran towards the general's tent.

The general searched anxiously several times in the huge military camp. His eyes quickly swept between the tents and his footsteps hurriedly shuttled along the paths between the tents.

He asked every soldier he met, but the answers he got disappointed him.

After some twists and turns, he learned that the general had been called back to the city by Mu Han.

The general couldn't help but frown at this news. He knew the importance of the letter, but now that the general was not in the barracks, he was a little at a loss for a moment.

But military orders are like mountains, and he can only act according to the established rules.

He slowly walked towards the general's tent, which was filled with a majestic atmosphere.

His eyes fell on the desk in the tent, where some letters, military books, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone were placed, as if telling the story of the general's busy figure handling military affairs on a daily basis.

The general sighed softly, and with awe in his heart, he carefully left the general's tent and called a soldier to deliver the letter to the general.

After a day and a night, time slowly passed in this seemingly frozen atmosphere.

Gu Wenbo was trapped in the big tent in the military camp, and every minute and every second was torture for him.

He fully expected that someone would come to see him soon, or take him to see Mu Han according to diplomatic etiquette, but as time went by, all he got was endless silence.

Outside the big tent, the guarding soldiers were like silent shadows, standing still at their posts without moving.

Finally, when a soldier came to deliver food, Gu Wenbo seized the opportunity to ask, "Where is your general? Why hasn't he come to see me yet?"

There was a hint of anxiety and doubt in his voice. After all, as the crown prince of the Dahan Kingdom, he came here with an important mission. It was really against diplomatic conventions to be left here for no reason.

The soldier slowly put down his food, which was just some simple dry food and a bowl of water.

He raised his head and replied expressionlessly, "Our general has returned to the city. We don't know when he will be back. Just wait!"

His tone was calm, as if this was a very common thing, and he didn't care at all about Gu Wenbo's identity or his anxious expression.

The soldier carefully held the letter and rushed all the way to the general's residence in the city.

It was a majestic mansion, with tall walls that exuded solemnity and a vermilion gate that was tightly closed. Tall guards stood on both sides of the door, gazing at everything around them with stern eyes.

The soldier walked to the door, took a deep breath, and then respectfully reported his purpose to the guard at the door.

At this moment, Gu Wenshuang, who was just about to go out, heard what the soldier said.

The soldier said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dahan Kingdom was detained by them, and the Crown Prince also brought a letter to see Mu Han. There was a hint of nervousness and caution in his tone. After all, this was a matter between the two countries and could not be taken lightly.

After hearing this report, the guards did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
