The man in black was still able to react freely, his body constantly shifting.

The assailant was obviously too weak. Three of them had already died under the hands of the man in black, but they didn't meet Gu Danyan at all. They were already preparing to leave.

The next moment, Gu Daiyan came out and stood beside the man in black. He blinked his eyes playfully.

The black clothed man's actions paused. Gu Danyan had already sprinkled out the prepared powder. The people from the Mirage were subconsciously shocked, but only one person reacted in time and directly grabbed Gu Daiyan before the black clothed man could react.

"Miss Gu!" Qi Rou shouted.

The black-clothed person was stunned for a moment before hurriedly chasing after him. However, the people from the mirage charged forward as if they were risking their lives, completely disregarding everything else as they rushed down to stop the black-clothed person who was supposed to be in the courtyard.

By the time Gu Liuyan reacted, she had already been stuffed into the carriage. The people who had grabbed her had a stern face from start to finish, and only after the black cloth in front of her eyes and the cloth strip in her mouth had been taken away did that person open his mouth and say: "Obediently follow us back to the Mirage."

"Your men wanted to kill me before, so why did they change their nature today?" Gu Daiyan had his hands tied behind his back, and his legs were tied four or five times the size of a thumb. But they were not prepared to kill her.

"Of course, you were previously poisoned by the Yun clan, so you naturally can't be the successor. But today is different. Since your poison has been dispelled, the Yun clan will have a share in it in the future. The man chuckled and once again raised his hand to cover her mouth.

She was confused, but she heard some soldiers talking to the coachman outside.

Looks like they are already preparing to leave the city?

This made her even more baffled. After a while, the man finally loosened his grip on her mouth and laughed softly, "Your Yun clan's descendants are always so carefree no matter where they go."

"Since I know that no one can save me, why should I shout and waste my time?" Gu Liuyan had already thought of something.

Since these people could so easily tell her their goal, they could also easily leave Sky Flame. In addition, those people from the water stronghold were all related to the Mirage, so the person who worked with the mirage would definitely be a high-ranking official in the imperial court.

"You're really open-minded." The man sneered.

"The same goes for you. You actually told me directly what you had said." Gu Danyan also laughed softly, "Wasn't it a pity that you lost the stronghold near the Sunset Water Stronghold?"

The man's gaze immediately became sharp. He directly grabbed Gu Danyan's neck and said, "Indeed, it's a pity. I just didn't expect you to notice it."

"After all, the Water Stronghold is also owned by Navy Tide. Not everyone will help you keep your secrets. That place is filled with a bunch of scum." Gu Liuyan was still smiling happily. She did her best to anger the man in front of her: "But I don't know what your goal is …"

"This is all to make your Yun Family pay with blood." The man suddenly put down his hand, and watched with satisfaction as Gu Pingyan coughed a few times. Then, he continued: "But, I know that you didn't grow up in the Yun clan, but in the Gu family. Moreover, the Jing King doesn't love you as much as I thought, but our Mirage will help you, whether it's the heart of the Jing king or the position of empress in the future."

"You really are bold." Gu Danyan laughed. His gaze fell on the hilt of his sabre, which had a twisted mountain god totem painted on it. It was exactly the same as the one in the water stronghold.

It turned out that he wanted to win her over, but unfortunately, the original owner of this body was long gone.

"Of course, we have been hiding for a hundred years. As long as you bring the Yun family's secret treasures and formulas to join us, we will give you what you want in the future." The man continued with a crazy look in his eyes.

He was like a madman who had been brainwashed.

"Really?" Gu Danyan's expression showed that he was interested, and he walked up to them, "Who are you in the mirage? How would I know that you would give me these?"

The man subconsciously moved backwards when she stared at him, but Gu Liuyan still looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "If there comes a day when you really want to talk terms with me, please find someone who can talk to you."

"Who do you think you are …"

The horse carriage suddenly turned, and before the man could finish his words, he had already turned his head around and tightly held on to the window. The coachman outside the carriage had already fallen heavily onto the ground.

Gu Danyan was also caught off guard and hit his head. He felt dizzy for a while, then the carriage started moving again.

"Bastard!" shouted the man outside.

Gu Danyan was dizzy from the shaking. It was not easy for her to move her body to see some mirage outside the window. They had almost surrounded the carriage, and she started to get nervous.

Even if that black-clothed man's martial arts were strong, he wouldn't be able to take her away.

She had been careless.

The next moment, however, she had an idea. She had been moving in the carriage for a long time. From time to time, she could hear the sounds of swords and sabers coming from outside, as well as the sound of people falling from their horses.

The horse carriage stopped once more. The man outside the carriage rushed in with a dagger in his hand. "Looks like I can't let you live."

Gu Liuyan was shocked. Her bound legs kicked towards the man subconsciously, and the knife in the man's hand fell down. She rolled away to avoid it, but the man charged forward again in anger and grabbed her by the neck: "You did it on purpose! Sly descendant of the Yun Family! I will kill you! "

Gu Danyan was struggling nonstop, and his entire face was red from choking.

He really did lose it!

The next moment, he fell down with his eyes wide open.

The man in black stood behind the man. He did not use much effort to pull Gu Danyan out of the carriage, and used a knife to cut the ropes off her body. He then threw her onto the back of Yin He's horse, "Princess, you are taking too much risks."

"Are you angry?" Gu Daiyan teased him with a lingering fear, his hands still trembling slightly.

"Your highness will be angry." The black-clothed man's voice was raised a little, but he still mounted the horse and said, "I've already allowed 12% of the ingredients to be brought to the water stronghold."

"So we are not going to use Sky Flame? Directly rushing to the water stronghold in the middle of the night to continue concocting medicine? " Gu Danyan looked at him in disbelief.

"Yes, because you are too willful." The man in black seemed to sigh.

Gu Daiyan looked at the abandoned carriage without a care in the world, smiled and said: "Then you made me willingly be captured."

The black clothed man was silent as he galloped towards the water stronghold.
