Jin Qianqian, however, was more troubled by something else. "The journey there won't be easy. It's all mountain roads. We should find someone to ask about the conditions so we can prepare in advance."
Gu Wenheng replied, "I've already looked into all that. Once we get back to Shangjing, I'll find a chance to visit Mr. Cao.
He was previously stationed at the frontier there, so he's very familiar with the local terrain and customs."
Jin Qianqian shot him a look. "You already knew this was the place, didn't you?"
Gu Wenheng said, "It wasn't confirmed, but His Majesty gave me a few options and told me to be mentally prepared."
Jin Qianqian's curiosity was piqued. "So this is the most difficult of the assignments?"
Gu Wenheng nodded. "On the surface, yes. But I suspect the other posts wouldn't have been easy either."
'Knowing Hua Shunming's personality, he would never have given me a comfortable position.'
