Zhou Cheng hesitated for a moment, "Is there someone in Xiling, Your Majesty? Such news can be spread casually. Isn't it possible that Your Majesty has been deceived?"
This is a cliche, Fu Jingchao said with a half-smile, "It is impossible for me to tell the general the exact source of the news, but I can guarantee that the news is true."
Zhou Cheng snorted coldly, "Even if it's true, let's wait and see if they can come out of Jiuyi Mountain alive."
Zhou Cheng was too wary of him, and Fu Jingchao was not willing to talk nonsense with him. He said directly, "I have brought the news anyway. If General Zhou doesn't believe it, there will be consequences."
"The regent is not a fool. The general thinks he will let 50,000 troops die in vain? If he really crosses Jiuyi Mountain, I believe the general knows better than me what this means!"
Fu Jingchao stood up and said, "That's all I have to say. For the sake of the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the northwest, I ask the general to handle this matter carefully."
Fu Jingchao finished what he had to say and left without any regrets, lest others think he had some agenda again.
The news that he was gone was so shocking that the study fell into silence for a while.
The deputy generals and military advisors sitting here were all confidants. Zhou Cheng asked directly, "How credible do you think what he said is?"
Vice General Zhang said, "Theoretically it's impossible. We haven't sent people to Jiuyi Mountain before, but he doesn't have to lie about this matter. It's really hard to tell."
The military advisor said, "This prince has a lot of skills in dealing with people, and he comes from Zhennan Palace, so he will not talk nonsense about this kind of thing."
No matter how dirty and disagreeable the Zhennan Palace is with the royal family, it has always been frank and honest on this matter for so many years.
Zhou Cheng had a headache. This thing came out of the blue. "Send someone out to inquire carefully, and the Xiling side will also find a way to find out the news."
Because there were still uncertainties and doubts about this matter, Zhou Cheng did not make any changes on the surface and did not publicize the matter.

Shen Xingwan and his group disguised themselves as a caravan and changed routes several times before finally approaching Mobei.
As soon as I entered Mobei, I immediately felt a different atmosphere.
Weird and unique clothes and grooming, unrestrained and free folk customs, elusive killers, and dashing mercenaries.
This place has always been a world of fringe characters and gangsters, and many people involved in murder cases have fled here.
This is a place where fists truly speak, and the jungle prevails.
Shen Xingwan and the others were often targeted along the way, but fortunately they were not weak in skills.
Nan Yuan had already parted ways with them before entering the surrounding areas of Mobei, so she took the people back first.
They chose the largest inn in the outer city to stay in according to the map. Shen Xingwan took a quick shower and changed his clothes again.
This time she changed back to women's clothing, with flying eyeliner, beautiful smoky hair, and glamorous and exotic clothes. She looked completely different from her image in Shengjing.
Shen Ruoyan looked on in wonder, "Your makeup skills are superb, it can be called a hair change."
Shen Xingwan smiled proudly. Her makeup skills were personally taught by a professional makeup artist. It seemed that the money was well spent.
Mo Beichen and the others also changed their clothes, and Li Yan directly cut a long scar on his face.
After changing their clothes, a group of people came to the lobby to have dinner. The battlefield just now had been quickly taken care of.
Shen Xingwan was dressed in purple, had a mysterious aura, and because they were strangers, they attracted a lot of curious eyes as soon as they sat down.
"May I ask if any of you are new to Mobei?"
A young man in black on the second floor asked directly, his eyes resting on Xingwan's forehead.
There is a flower pattern carefully drawn by Shen Xingwan, which makes people feel a bit more evil.
Shen Ruoyan said cheerfully, "We are coming from the east and want to see the scenery of Mobei."
A flashy woman on the right covered her mouth and laughed, "Hey, after living for so many years, this is the first time I heard that someone came to see the scenery of Mobei. It's really strange."
As he spoke, he gave Shen Xingwan a wink, "My little beauty, why don't you go with your sister? My sister will definitely protect you. There are a lot of bad guys in Mobei."
Shen Xingwan toasted to her, "More kindness from my sister."
The woman smiled with satisfaction, "What a sweet mouth..."
A figure flew down from the second floor quickly and said, "The beauty that was delivered to your door will not be free of charge."
A pair of hands moved towards Shen Xingwan's shoulders, and the Liyan dagger sitting opposite Shen Xingwan was unsheathed.
The two of them fought together quickly.
The young man in black on the second floor spoke again, "Welcome to Mobei, a place where heaven and hell coexist."
If you are rich enough here, you can buy everything. If you are strong enough, you can dominate someone and live comfortably.
But for ordinary people, this place is hell. There are no restrictions and no laws. People can kill and be killed at any time.
The weak here don't even know if they can see the sun tomorrow.
Shen Xingwan said coldly, "Thank you, Master. I have accepted Mobei's gift."
The woman smiled again and said, "My sister seems to be unlucky. This is the notorious flower picker in Mobei."
Everyone present seemed accustomed to the sudden fight. Even a little girl who looked no more than three years old just looked at it curiously.
Li Yan's fighting style was violent and savage, with a bit of the habits of a wild wolf, and it only took a stick of incense to tear people into pieces.
It is shredded in a physical sense.
Liyan's left arm is equipped with a unique hidden weapon, an extremely sharp steel claw that can pierce through the stomach with one strike.
Such a bloody killing method calmed the people at the scene as soon as it was carried out.
Many people who coveted their net worth immediately put away their inner feelings.
The woman's eyes flashed, "Kill him, and my sister will be in big trouble in Mobei. His sworn brothers will not be easy to deal with."
Shen Xingwan smiled and looked calm.
In a place like Mobei, no matter what, the momentum cannot be weakened.
"Young lord, what do you think this group of people is like?"
The young man in black said, "You will know soon."
Newcomers who enter Mobei will go through a baptism of baptism, including those who rob money and sex, and those who simply like to kill people...
Those who can walk in alive will usually be picked out quickly.
This is the reason why Shen Xingwan did not enter the main city area immediately. The main city area in Mobei is not that easy to enter.
The next day, after last night's battle, everyone looked at her with more curiosity.
Some people couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to enter the main city?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves came from the inn.
Someone who came in from outside the door just now said, "Tsk, tsk, what kind of wind has brought Liu Ying's people here? It's been a long time since I've seen them all moving out at the same time."
"Is it the Liu Ying who ranked third on the mercenary list last year?"
The inn instantly became lively.
Shen Xingwan stood up and said, "Let's go. The person to pick us up has arrived. It's time for us to leave."
Shen Xingwan and others walked out.
"She said she was here to pick her up?"
"Did I hear correctly?"
The man in black stood up, "It seems that her origin will soon be answered."
Shen Xingwan stood at the door, and many curious people followed him out.
The flag of Liuying flutters in the wind on horseback.
"It's Beiqi!"
Anyone with a keen eye will recognize the leader at a glance as Liu Ying's deputy captain Bei Qi.
Shen Xingwan's identity is even more arousing for Bei Qi to come and pick him up in person.
Beiqi led the men to dismount, walked up to Shen Xingwan and clasped his fists, "Beiqi welcomes the return of the leader!"
