C557

Gu Liuyan's eyes were squinting as she rode the horse. Her lower body was already in pain from running all the way. Even her hand that was holding the reins was worn out. She grabbed a piece of cloth and wrapped it around herself.

She had rushed out of the city dressed in black just for the safety of the cloud.

If Ai Hui saw his face and realized that he couldn't be killed, he would definitely contact Jiang Yan and ask the others to bring Yun Qi back. When she thought of the nearby horse bandits and mountain bandits, she knew for sure.

These horse bandits and mountain bandits did not come into contact with any country, they just wanted to get something outside of the war, or they could take advantage of the passing merchants for profit. Similarly, under the condition of preserving themselves, they could also act as thugs and killers.

Normally, he would only be helping the merchants and Jia Family to get rid of their passing opponents. However, if Ai Yan wasn't stupid, he could use the money that he had taken from his people to bribe the mounted bandits.

But maybe she was thinking too much.

"Your Highness, bandits are wreaking havoc outside. If you go out like this …"

"Do mounted gangsters usually behave so arrogantly?" Gu Liuyan asked from the back of the horse.

"Not really." The deputy general behind him choked and looked at Gu Danyan in disbelief: "Your Highness, do you mean these bandits are here to collect money …"

"Perhaps their goal is the person I'm looking for, so don't be negligent in the slightest. Tell the people behind to chase down the horse bandits, and once there's any news, quickly come and tell me." While Gu Danyan was giving out orders, he also didn't forget to observe the surrounding terrain, and thought about where Yun Tong would leave from.

She spent the entire day wandering around, waiting until nightfall to rest on the spot in a forest. Gu Meiyan sat next to the bonfire. The soldiers had never seen the princess before, so they did not dare to approach her.

Why did his mother not leave any trace on his path here? This was simply unbelievable. Even when she had contacted the people from the Wind Pavilion on the way and didn't know where she was, she hadn't heard any news of Gu Cheng or Ai Yan withdrawing their troops.

Just as her thoughts were running wild, the sentry on the lookout pointed to the sky.

"There's a caravan asking for help. It's a red thunderbolt. They've encountered a horse bandit!"

The soldiers stood up one by one. Gu Danyan quickly jumped onto the horse, but the high-ranking officer at the side held her back, "Your Highness, you can't take any risks. Let us handle these small matters."

"I can help heal your injuries, and besides, if you leave me here alone, I'm afraid the danger will be even greater." As Gu Liuyan spoke, he followed the group of soldiers into the forest.

On the main road, the mounted gangsters had lost more than half their men, and the 100-man caravan had also suffered numerous casualties. When they hurried over, Gu Daiyan guaranteed that he would dismount in a safe place, ignoring the fight in front and only focused on gathering the people in front of him.

Fortunately, the injuries of the survivors were not too heavy, so Gu Danyan brought them to a safe place, and waited until the bandits had been taken care of before he started to bandage them. Only two of the seriously injured people had their arms injured, and one of them had his back injured.

The soldiers brought some fresh water and the general squatted down to ask the soldiers, "Have you seen a lady wearing a veil pass by this place?"

One of the maidservants quickly nodded, "Yes, the madame brought a black veil and reminded us to leave this place as soon as possible. We only stayed for one night, but we were caught by the horse bandits …"

Gu Danyan heard the maid's words clearly as he cleaned up. He took out the handkerchief and gave it to the servant girl to bite down while he sewed up the wounds. He said loudly: "Other than this, do you know where the lady is going?"

The lady said she was going to a place called Blackwater, and she said the mounted gangsters were rampaging. She said she was going to the dock at the northeast end of the city to rent a boat. She must have taken a long detour." Another added that the lady seemed to be in a hurry.

Gu Liuyan naturally remembered Blackwater Town, but that place was only a place of the best quality, and he did not know what Yu Yun San had to do there. However, if one were to talk about the pier outside of the city, which was also guarded by the Navy Tide Army, in addition to the nearby mountain pass, it would be a little too far if one were to take into account the distance from here to there.

Gu Daiyan had spent the entire night bandaging them up, and the general had sent someone to escort them back to the city.

"I can't really go to Navy Tide's pier with all of you. Just choose three or four people to follow me." Gu Liuyan rubbed his sore legs and continued to give orders.

The high-ranking officer naturally knew that Navy Tide had always placed importance on the water route. For the sake of unnecessary trouble, he only left behind four powerful martial artists, and one of them was his deputy general surnamed Li.

Gu Mingyan was not used to bringing so many people, but now she was used to giving orders.

However, their tracks were finally detected by Duan Cheng Xuan and the ghosts.

The two groups of people headed to the dock at the same time.

The face was covered by a black veil, and he was still wearing a loose black robe.

The remaining four of them knew some martial arts. However, two of them were currently lying on the beds, and were being taken care of by the doctors in this small village. Zi Ming walked over with a dark expression: "I did not expect that all the messenger pigeons were all stopped. They are still a day away from the Navy Tide Pier.

"In the end, I was the one who underestimated Gu Cheng's guts." "Right now, he doesn't even care about his own country because of this fake thing. It's just that unfortunately, I fell for it and thought that something had happened to Navy Tide, so I rushed over quickly to Navy Tide, and got cut off halfway."

"Right now, neither side can contact each other. Only the dock has a slim chance of survival." Originally, they should have gone to two strongholds to investigate the situation, but after hearing that Navy Tide's Wind Listening Pavilion had long been exposed to prevent the secrets within from being stolen by others, Yun Wan had no choice but to return to take charge of the overall situation. She didn't expect that halfway between these two countries, they would be blocked by Jiang Yan and the people of the new nation from both sides, unable to seek help.

"But this is good too." Yun Wan abruptly let out a sigh of relief and lowered her head. "If I can silently die here, it would be a kind of release."

Ye Zichen's expression immediately changed, "What are you talking about!?" This sort of thing is naturally not allowed to happen. When you first decided to do it, it should have been something that is not only for you, sooner or later, the young miss will also know about this matter and she will follow in your footsteps. "

Yun Wan was silent for a long while. Finally, she nodded seriously, "Indeed, even if I die, I must resolve these matters. There is no other reason for her to suffer anymore."

"Bang!" The door was pushed open.

"Gu Cheng's men are catching up!" The subordinate beside him said.
