Upon hearing the news, the Dowager Empress Xiao thought about Gu Changsheng's perseverance and naturally realized that when Gu Taitian left the Great Zhou, he would certainly head north. And the news of Gu Changsheng's presence in Liaodong, due to the Xunyang City incident, had already spread far and wide. Presumably, Gu Taitian, in order to reunite with Gu Changsheng, would also be heading toward Liaodong.
As a result, tasked with Gu Changsheng's instructions, the Dowager Empress Xiao dared not slack off. Though worried about the affairs of the Southern Country, she knew she couldn't be hasty. Fortunately, Liaodong was under her control, so she wasn't in a rush to head south to return to the Great Zhou. Instead, she set up a net on the southern border of Liaodong, waiting for the arrival of Gu Taitian and his party!
And thus, as soon as Gu Taitian and his party arrived in the Great Zhou, they were perfectly blocked by the Empress Dowager Xiao!
