Chapter 208: Parting Ways
After witnessing the vast scale of Falling God Peak as a martial world power, and the complex web of relationships it maintained throughout the surrounding prefectures, however, Li Musheng had begun to gradually think through some more practical matters.
For instance, as far as he knew, the entire Falling God Peak sect occupied an enormous area and comprised nine main peaks in total, with close to ten thousand disciples and followers on the main peaks alone.
If he had to climb them one peak at a time by himself, was that not going to be rather exhausting?
"Does Commissioner Hu know what Commander Fu has planned? Or rather, what does Commissioner Hu himself have in mind going forward?"
Li Musheng asked with a thoughtful expression.
Hearing this, Hu Rui'an's eyes moved slightly, and after considering for a moment, he said, "In my view, it would be best to link up with Commander Fu first. We have not yet made contact with the Tianjin Guards forces that have arrived in Lan Province, which means we have no access to intelligence about Falling God Peak through their network of agents."
"Beyond that, in any military engagement, information is of the utmost importance. If we act rashly with no knowledge of the terrain or the situation, we are unfamiliar with this area, we have no precise targets, and things could easily go wrong in ways that work against us."
Li Musheng said nothing. His gaze passed through the carriage curtain to Hu Rui'an for a moment, and after a brief silence he said, "Leave me a map of Falling God Peak, Commissioner Hu, and then go and link up with Commander Fu."
At those words, Hu Rui'an's expression froze, and he immediately asked, "Your Highness is not coming with us?"
