"Then, what is the secret of Blackwater Town …"

"Mistress!" The people behind are catching up! " Behind him, Ziming suddenly shouted loudly. Gu Daiyan and Yunchao turned around and realized that a dense crowd of people was coming towards them from the forest.

Gu Shenwei could vaguely see that one of them wasn't wearing the uniform of a soldier. He was shocked and said, "I was too careless, I didn't expect that Issus would be able to find me here."

Yun Xiao's face darkened. Would Jiang Yan and the new nation still want this recipe now?

The few of them did not dare to say anything more, but the person behind them seemed to be riding their horses over. Even though the forest was dense and some horses could not reach the place, they were still exposed to the enemy's eyes.

Gu Danyan didn't care about anything else as he took off the veil covering Yun Que's head and put it on his head. He then looked at Zi Ming, "Follow me. Mother, I'm sorry."

With that, without waiting for Yun Wan's reaction, Gu Pingyan had already gently pushed her away. She rolled down the cliff almost without any resistance, burying herself in the nearby leaves.

Gu Liuyan led her group and continued to move forward. Yun Wan wished that she could rush up and bring her daughter back, but the people of Ai Hui's group were right in front of them. She could only hide in the dense foliage and hold her breath as she thought about what to do next.

The people behind him were all sweating profusely. This place was inaccessible to horses, and even for humans, it was not a good place to walk. As for Gu Pingyan, his face was deathly pale and the veins on his forehead were bulging, which made her worry a little: "Master, she …"

It was originally a branch of the Navy Tide River, and after blocking the entrance, it was planted with trees. If I go down this trench, I can reach the city nearest to Navy Tide. Gu Liuyan said in a low voice, but his climbing movements were not as good as he thought.

Even his calves were cramping, and his vision was swaying. It was unknown if he could climb this mountain.

Unlike her calmness, Zi Ming, who was behind his, and the others who were supporting each other were extremely nervous. Zi Ming looked at her almost as if he was looking at a monster.

"If you don't calm down, you'll suffer once you reach a dead end." With that, Gu Danyan stopped on a rock and looked down at the forest. After thinking for a moment, he walked up to Ziming and handed over the identity token to her: "Take your people to the dock."

"Where are you going?" Ye Zichen was shocked.

"I'll go lure them away. It's inconvenient for your legs. Before you guys could roll over, you were shot by someone else's arrows." Gu Daiyan patted her shoulder, trying to figure out which path was easier to take.

Should he dive straight into the water, or should he bring the others back to the place they came from? After all, there was a fire in the village, so the patrolling soldiers should have been able to see it.

After thinking for a while, Gu Daiyan still felt that it would be faster to take the water route.

"You will die alone!" Ye Zichen opened his eyes wide and looked at her.

"That won't happen. When the time comes, remember to send someone to find my mother. I'm afraid that she won't be able to leave." Gu Danyan smiled helplessly and poured all the water out of his water bag. He blew on the water in the water bag and tied it with a piece of cloth in front of his chest.

With this kind of body, she didn't even know if she would still be able to climb up in one breath after jumping down.

When she came to such a desperate situation, she could only blame herself for thinking about how many countries she could be on good terms with and not sending out troops. If she brought along a large number of people, she would be in a different situation.

After all, she had underestimated his obsession with immortality.

Thinking of this, she only slid down from the other side of the mountain, not caring about the material being torn apart and the pain from the abrasion.

Ziming looked at the four men behind him, hesitated for a moment and said coldly, "We need to hurry up and find reinforcements."

At this moment, Gu Danyan staggered a step forward. Hearing that the footsteps had slowed down a bit, she knew that they might want to take advantage of the darkness to kill them all. Since she wanted to lure them away, she couldn't do it too obviously.

After some thought, she intentionally broke the branch by her hand.

As expected, he heard a man's shout from the other side: "What sounds are coming from there?"

"Cloud Curtain Black Yarn, listen to the voice." This was the angry shout of Ai Hui.

Gu Danyan didn't dare to stay any longer. She hung her torn clothes on a tree branch before running off in a hurry. If she didn't find the river in the local area, perhaps she would have lost her life here.

Calm down.

She kept repeating the word in her heart, hoping that every step she took would be the right one.

Yun Dian knew of this stream and also knew the meaning of Gu Liuyan's words.

"Such a worrisome daughter." It wasn't easy for Yun Wan to climb up the steep slope. Before she had even taken a few steps, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind and caused her to hold her breath as she hid within the forest, wondering if this group of people could be Gu Cheng's men.

But she heard a familiar voice.

"There are traces of people walking on this road." Duan Cheng Xuan continued moving forward.

"Not only that, this group of people are not on the same path as the ones we just destroyed." It was the voice of a ghost.

The two of them probed the entire way over. Aside from the small group that Gu Cheng had sent over, the only thing left behind were the traces. Due to the difference in inscriptions on the horses, it was easy to tell that the two groups of people were not from the same country.

A black shadow sprang out from the side. Its speed was not fast, but it was enough to shock the two of them.

After clearly seeing that face, Duan Chengxuan was the first person to jump down, and he covered her face with his scarf — because even Yun Xiao didn't like it when people saw the scars on her face.

Yun Xiao grabbed Duan Chengxuan's hand and said, "It's a team led by a man called Ai Xu. Yan'Er and the rest went over there, and there are two wounded people inside."

Duan Chengxuan's gaze dimmed as he let go of Yun Qi's hand, then he got on his horse and left.

Yun Que still wanted to follow along, but Spiritfount quickly pulled her back, "Leave this matter to the Prince. Madam, don't forget that you are their true purpose. As long as they protect you well, they will also restrain themselves."

Yun Wan bit her lower lip and nodded her head, but requested for the Ghost to bring her to Blackwater Town.

Duan Chengxuan continued to lead his two trusted aides forward, as it wasn't difficult for them to follow the traces to find the person.

Unfortunately, he was always a step too late and stopped at the foot of the mountain for a moment. Duan Chengxuan only raised his hand to press at his temple.

Two paths, turning back or going down.

Which one would she choose?

She seemed to remember the day she was kidnapped by the Zhu siblings, she had also escaped from the water.

Duan Chengxuan pondered for a moment, then decided to gamble on a waterway.

I hope I can help you this time, Yan'Er.
