"They almost caught up with us. It is not appropriate for us to travel together."
This subordinate said as he handed the roasted and cooked game to Gu Mingyan.
Gu Daiyan had chased them nonstop the entire way and had even drawn the attention of the people in the surrounding towns. However, the minute details that Jiang Yan had used had not been removed, and she had called for Ai Xu to dodge each time.
"Then you guys split into three groups. I will go to the border crossing in disguise." Gu Liuyan was being chased by Ai Xingzhi, and he didn't even dare to use a pigeon to send a message.
"It is too dangerous for you to travel alone." The subordinates all looked over.
"If I follow your troops, I'll be in even more danger. I don't believe that Ai Hui still has the ability to find me. You guys think of a way to capture Ai Hui and hand him over to the crown prince to deal with." Gu Danyan quickly finished the game in his hand and wiped his fingertips: "Just in case, I will set off alone now. You guys split into three groups tomorrow morning."
A few of her subordinates even prepared some smoke and dry rations for her. Only then did they feel assured that she would leave alone.
Gu Liuyan had also promised to go to the local government office and inform people of his whereabouts every time he passed by.
As expected, Ai Hui did not catch up to her. Perhaps he had sent people to chase after the troops that were split into three parts.
Without the chase of Ai Xizhi, Gu Daiyan's speed naturally increased. Because of her detour, the ghost did not find any trace of Gu Daiyan, so he directly went to the Navy Tide Pass, found Duan Chengxuan, and told his everything about Yun Qi.
When Duan Chengrui heard about this, his face immediately turned cold. "We should immediately send someone to help."
"I will personally lead some men to go, and you will lead your men to search for the whereabouts of the two of them." I will personally lead a few men to go, and you will lead your men to search for the whereabouts of the two of them. Duan Chengxuan stood up. When he saw that Duan Chengrui wanted to go as well, his gaze went ice-cold. "I'll protect him properly."
"You're not trustworthy." Duan Chengrui didn't show any weakness as he looked over and coldly said, "Moreover, you aren't the only one with power that can cover the sky. If Navy Tide loses you, that would be an enormous loss."
"So you think that your men can find Gu Danyan and make me stay here to confront them?" Duan Chengxuan raised an eyebrow, as it seemed that as long as Duan Chengrui asked him to stay, the long saber at his waist would be pressed against his opponent's neck.
This killing intent that came straight at him scared Duan Chengrui so much that he took a step back, but he still said calmly: "Gu Liuyan once told me that when you become known as the War God, many things will happen beyond your control. You should also know that according to the appearance of Jiang Yan and the new country now, they will attack at any time."
"Even without me, you would have won." Duan Chengxuan prepared to bring his men to walk outside.
"We don't want to win, we want stability. Only you can do that." This time, Duan Chengrui directly walked up and stood before Duan Chengxuan. "Gu Pingyan is very smart. She can always avoid danger, so you should take the overall situation seriously."
The two of them faced off, and the ghosts and ghosts didn't resist Duan Chanrui's words.
If Gu Danyan was here, he would probably say the same thing.
However, Duan Chengxuan was different. He had seen Gu Meiyan's frail appearance and knew that she could no longer take the risk she once took. Moreover, he would not allow himself to see her alone and without help again.
"I'm not Gu Liuyan, and I don't follow her orders." Duan Chengxuan's long saber was currently placed horizontally across Duan Chanrui's neck, and his sharp gaze blocked Duan Chengxuan's words and breathing, causing his body to lightly tremble.
"She has done so many things for the so-called big picture. So what if I make the big picture give in for her today?"
In the next moment, the long saber in Duan Chengxuan's hand returned to its scabbard, then he strode out, brushing past Duan Chengrui's side.
Duan Chengrui stopped on the spot — he had never seen his Imperial Uncle in such a state.
Moreover, he felt that Duan Chengxuan was trying to give up on Gu Danyan, and he was even more confused as to why Gu Danyan would fall in love with such a cold-blooded man.
Since he was unable to stop Duan Chengxuan, he could only call Duan Chengye over and make preparations for the worst.
Even though Duan Chengxuan said these words, in reality, he only brought along the two personal guards by his side and left the others to Duan Chenrui. Duan Chengye currently didn't seem to have much feelings for Gu Pingyan, and he only coldly followed the Third Prince's instructions.
After all, sooner or later, he would ascend the throne.
Unknowingly, the few princes seemed to be entangled with Gu Mingyan, but the only people that were truly involved with Gu Pingyan were Duan Chengxuan and Duan Chengyu.
Whether it was Duan Chengye or Duan Chengrui, they were just passing by in a hurry.
Yue Qing's subordinates watched as Duan Chengxuan and his men left the area and came to report to Duan Chengrui, "The Jing King has already left. Third Prince, are you not going to inform him that someone has been sent to protect him since a long time ago?"
"If he's willing to go, then so be it. But since he's sneaking over, he probably doesn't want others to know that the Jing King has left and sent people to keep it a secret. Cheng Shan will be back to his usual handsome appearance."
Duan Chengrui ordered without raising his head, but Yue Qing did not leave. Instead, he looked at him worriedly, "Third Prince, you …" Are you all right? "
"Everything is fine." Duan Chengrui raised his hand to cover his pale face as he said in a low voice, "Don't ever mention the matter of Gu Danyan in front of me again. She no longer has anything to do with me, let's do everything properly."
"Yes." Yue Qing nodded her head, but for some reason, Duan Chengrui gave up on her.
Duan Chengrui himself knew that it was because of what Duan Chengxuan had said.
Now that the princes were able to grow up to this point, even though there was still the existence of Gu Liuyan, most of them were able to understand some things and get rid of the edges of things to deal with what they were looking for.
But Duan Chengxuan had never changed.
Perhaps it was because of this that none of the three brothers had found a woman to accompany them.
Since he couldn't get it, he had to learn to let go.
Duan Chengxuan was unable to guess where Gu Danyan was going to go to find Yun Dian, as the best way was to find Yun Dian before he encountered any danger. Then, he would meet up with the ghost and demon people outside the city and search for him together.
At this moment, Gu Danyan, who had already arrived at the border of the city, wrapped himself in nearly all his equipment, only revealing his two eyes. As he walked out of the military camp, he had a long tail behind him: "Your Highness should not have gone alone."
"Since Madam has already left, we should be able to catch up with her within a day's journey. The situation outside is urgent, so what can you do even if you go?" Gu Danyan looked at the group of people behind him with a headache. He could only blame this princess for attracting too much attention.
Just at that moment, the soldiers outside the city gates urged their horses to enter. They stopped in front of the high-ranking officer behind Gu Danyan, "General! The horse bandits outside suddenly became rampant! "
Gu Mingyan froze for a moment, and then immediately rushed out. The high-ranking officer behind him quickly said, "Quickly follow His Highness and lead the troops to finish off those mounted gangsters!"
