C555

The forest rushed past on both sides.

Gu Liuyan had not even caught up to Yun Tong when she had gone to the two cities. If she had not learned of the news and sped up, there might have been someone chasing from behind, causing her foothold in the two cities to be completely unmarked.

Either result was not what she wanted.

"Your Highness, if we carefully calculate the situation, even if we catch up, Mojo is still between the two countries. I heard that the other side seems to be in a tense situation, so it shouldn't be so frequent." The subordinate behind him could not help but analyze it this way.

"The third prince knows her as well. It wouldn't be a problem if he was around."

Gu Liuyan's expression changed. Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a piercing sound. The arrow had cut a long gash on her cheek. She grasped the reins tightly and turned around. Several of her subordinates were standing in front of her to protect her.

The sound of horse hooves came from the forest, and the people lying in ambush revealed their faces.

"It's you?" Gu Danyan wiped the blood off his face and sneered as he sized up the man in front of him, who he had only met a few times.

"I didn't expect you to remember me." The man sneered and raised his hand.

The archers on the horses were all lined up on their backs, and the arrows in their hands were only aimed at her.

This person was surnamed Ai, the person who she had slapped at the palace banquet. His name was Ai Xiuzhi, and he was not a martial general. Today, it seemed like he had brought people to deliberately embarrass her.

"Of course I do, but I'm curious though. Don't you care about my identity at all?" Gu Danyan was still smiling lightly, as if he was unperturbed.

"Take a few people with you and leave the city. If anything happens, you can naturally blame the bandits nearby." "As long as you are willing to marry me, or give me the prescription for immortality, then everything will be fine."

"I've already been married for a long time, and I even have a son after two big weddings. Even if you agree, I still can't bear to part with my lover's son." Gu Danyan sneered. Without waiting for Ai Hui to open his mouth, he threw out the fireballs he had been holding in his sleeves, along with the powder from the lower half of the bag.

A few of his men took the antidote and left from the other side.

Ai Xizhi was caught off guard. Although the archers had already released their arrows, after the smoke and dust had cleared, Gu Pingyan had already taken his men and ran far away.

In reality, Gu Daiyan had no choice but to stay in a secluded place and feed the antidote to the horses to prevent them from vomiting blood later on.

Gu Liuyan rested beside a tree trunk, looking at the map.

He wondered if he still had a way to get to the bottom of this.

Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, the road that Yun Dian had taken was always the closest one.

Furthermore, he had already revealed his face, so it was impossible for him to leave so easily. He could only choose to take a detour to avoid them, just in case.

"Your Highness, this is your medicine." The subordinate passed the bottle over.

Gu Meishan felt a headache coming on as she swallowed the pill. She felt that these people seemed to have seen her taking the pill and even did not relax when she came out. Once it was time, she would bring the pill up.

"Let's go. We need to be more careful on our journey." Gu Danyan rubbed his aching forehead, then got on his horse and left from the other side with his group.

It would be even more difficult for Ai Hui to find them within the borders of Er Dan.

Gu Danyan studied the map every day and also chose a place that could easily be supported by the other soldiers. Even if Ai Hui wanted to catch up to them, he would need to consider the surrounding troops.

At the same time, compared to the unending horses Gu Danyan traveled, Duan Chengxuan had long since arrived at the Navy Tide Pass. He didn't see the Third Prince who was stationed here and instead first saw Sixth Prince Duan Chengye.

He was different from a long time ago. He no longer had that childish aura about him, and instead had an extra sense of steadiness and maliciousness.

However, the lotus seed soup on his waist only caused Duan Chengxuan to feel a sense of unease.

"You make your own decisions here." Duan Chengxuan sat down on the main seat with a gloomy expression.

"No one will listen to the words of a prince who has come back from the dead." Duan Chengye sat on his left and asked his generals to inform him of the recent events.

It turned out that while Duan Chengxuan was gone, Jiang Yan and the new nation had sent people to wander around the area many times, but because they hadn't made any actual movements, they weren't in the danger zone. But just now, Jiang Yan had been accidentally attacked, and the new nation's ambassador, Su Yuwan, had been imprisoned.

"Their only goal is Navy Tide?" Duan Chengxuan raised his eyebrows.

"Now it seems that they have indeed yet to take action against Er Dan, but we already have ample reason to invade the Navy Tide borders." Duan Chengye's deputy general spoke first.

Duan Chengxuan didn't have much information in his possession, and now that he was pondering for a moment, he shook his head from start to finish, "Retreat the army camp for five kilometers." I actually want to see if they really have the guts to come over. "

The few of them did not dare to say much, so they just did as they were told.

However, Duan Chengye frowned. "Gu Danyan didn't get any news?"

"You seem to know her quite well." Duan Chengxuan shot him a cold glance, then looked at the book in his hand and said in a deep voice, "They ought to have another goal. They want to send people directly to the new country and Jiang Yan, and they want these two countries to bow their heads before them and sign a contract with Cang Lan Dan. If they don't obey, then Cang Lan Dan will immediately send troops to suppress them.

"Your Highness! Are you trying to start a war! "You clearly know Jiang Yan and the new nation …"

"However, if you allow these two ambitious people to obtain everything, if you want to solve this matter, I'm afraid you will need the lives of tens of thousands of people." Duan Chengxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the high-ranking officer who had spoken earlier. His blade-like gaze seemed to pierce through him as he said, "The reason for marching to war isn't just for the thing before your eyes. This lord might as well forfeit his official position and properly go to the bottom floor to gain some experience, or else you won't be able to learn and shut your mouth in the future."

The Sixth Prince came out to comfort the two of them and had no choice but to leave the matter at that.

Only after they finished discussing everything did the few of them realize that this person was the Navy Tide War God from back then. They had not seen his unwavering aura for a long time, and now they felt a chill on their backs.

The formless killing intent caused the few of them to stop in their tracks.

But even so, Duan Chengxuan would never forget that Yun Xiao was about to arrive at Navy Tide and he instructed the high-ranking officer beside him, "Send more people to clear the Navy Tide area. Firstly, investigate the news and secondly, if you see a woman covered by a veil, directly release her and send someone to protect her."

"Yes."

Duan Chengxuan sent the officers off to the drill grounds with his eyes, but he felt slightly uneasy in his heart.
