Mu Tianbo did not send anyone to follow Wang Guoxing to track his whereabouts.
It was not for lack of desire, but for lack of courage. Should the Brocade Guard discover his actions and report them to Emperor Chongzhen, the title of Duke of Qian, held by his family for over two hundred years, would likely be revoked. While the Mu family was indeed loyal, that did not mean they lacked pride. The haughty, overbearing attitude of the Brocade Guard filled him with deep resentment.
While Wang Guoxing was en route to Chuxiong, Mu Tianbo summoned Yu Xipeng, the steward of the Mu Wang Residence. This was no traditional steward; while a typical steward only handled household affairs and held no court rank, Yu Xipeng was different. He held an official position—according to records, he served as a Regional Vice Commander in the Yunnan Regional Military Commission. He was responsible for assisting Mu Tianbo in managing relations among the various Tusi.
