Foreman Shi Dehui seemed to be very satisfied with Gu Xu's attitude.

He patted Gu Xu on the shoulder, said, "Do a good job, Huzi", and turned around and walked into the distance.

Zhao Yan couldn't hold back the urge to laugh.

In order to hide her expression, she had to hide her face with her hands and pretend to cough twice.

"I really didn't expect you to be so talented in acting," she commented on Gu Xu with her divine sense, "I'm curious about what kind of expression would appear on his face if this Master Shi knew that the famous wanted criminal Gu Xu had appeared in front of him and talked to him." ”

"I'm also curious," Gu Xumo responded in her tone, "If Foreman Shi knew that the future Lord of the Great Yan Kingdom had bowed to him and saluted, would he be so frightened that his eyes would pop out." ”

Zhao Yan snorted lightly, and his fist struck him twice.

This situation fell into the eyes of others, and it became a pair of rough big comrades-in-arms fighting each other in their free time.

The two then moved on.

Occasionally, soldiers passed by and took the initiative to greet them, shouting "Brother Huzi" and "Brother Bing".

Gu Xu didn't know them, but he also accosted them without changing his face, saying nonsense like "The weather is good today", "The situation has been really tense recently", "I'm going to stand guard, I won't talk to you" and so on.

Soon the two arrived at the pass of the ancient Great Wall.

The gate is locked.

Gu Xu frowned slightly, stepped forward, and put his hand on the door knocker.

The moment he touched the knocker, a golden light suddenly shrouded him—he knew that it was the formation checking his identity.

He looked calm and calmly accepted the inspection of the formation.

Then, the golden beam of light fell on Zhao Yan's body again, sweeping from the top of her head to the tips of her toes.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the identities of the two, the heavy gate slowly opened to both sides, revealing the world on the other side of the Great Wall before their eyes.

Beyond the gate, the trees are green and the mountains are stacked.

For Zhao Yan, the other side of the door is her familiar home; But for Gu Xu, it was a completely unfamiliar country.

He took a deep breath and walked through the doorway first.

Zhao Yan followed closely by his side.

If they are the real "Chai Hu" and "Zhong Bing", then they need to stand upright here and play the role of "door gods".

But as two fugitives, as soon as they entered the territory of Youzhou, they invariably used their skills and rushed to the farther mountains and forests at a faster pace.

The ancient Changyuan, the white and golden dragon banner of the Great Qi Dynasty fluttering in the wind on the wall, was quickly left behind by them.

After galloping for miles, they stopped and withdrew their causal spells.

Today's action seemed to be too smooth, making Gu Xu suspect that he was dreaming.

However, he thought about it, he and Zhao Yan both had the means to conceal their whereabouts, and it was difficult for the official monks to find their exact location; And the border of Youzhou is hundreds of miles long, and the terrain is rugged, and it is almost impossible for the Great Qi Imperial Court to set up ambushes everywhere along the entire border - after all, the strength of the two of them is not weak, and sending monks below the sixth realm to catch them is basically equivalent to returning in vain.

Besides, there were very few cultivators in the Great Wilderness who understood the way of cause and effect, and it was difficult to be on guard against Gu Xu's camouflage spell.

"Welcome to Dayan," Zhao Yan straightened her windswept hair and looked up at Gu Xu, "A little further on, it is Shimen County." I can go there and get you some 'barrier breakers'. ”

A glimmer of early morning light pierced through the canopy, illuminating the surroundings of her eyes. When the morning sun overlaps with her child's hole, it is like a fireworks blooming in the night of the Lantern Festival, bright and beautiful.

Perhaps because she came to the familiar realm, the melancholy on Zhao Yan's face disappeared and was quickly replaced by self-confidence.

"Then thank you Miss Zhao." Gu Xu responded with a smile.

As he spoke, he felt that in his sea of consciousness, the rune called "Huilu" suddenly shone brightly, and then a fiery power poured out of the rune like a spring and merged into his meridians.

Gu Xu felt a little surprised.

He knew that this mysterious power came from the worship and dedication of the believers to "Huilu".

But the problem is that at this moment he is in Youzhou, far away from the base camp of the Longevity Sect, and the Longevity Sect was exterminated by the Great Qi Imperial Court a long time ago, and there are very few surviving "Huilu" believers today.

"Could it be that I underestimated the influence of the 'Longevity Sect' back then?" Gu Xu secretly guessed.

However, at this time, he remembered that when he helped Zhao Yan awaken the power of the bloodline, he had secretly felt that there was a close connection between the "Karma Fire Sutra" and the "Nirvana Sutra".

His "Huilu" rune also corresponded to Zhao Yan's "Holy Fire Totem".

So he boldly guessed: Perhaps, the "Huilu" of the Longevity Sect is not a god made up out of thin air - she is most likely related to the "Fire God" believed in by the Great Yan Kingdom.

The mysterious power he absorbed at this time was likely to come from the followers of Dayan's "Fire God".

…………

Luojing City, Princess's Mansion.

Princess Xiao Wanjun of Zhaoning stood in the attic, staring at the map attached to the wall, her brows furrowed.

From the reports of the officials, she learned that Gu Xu had indeed appeared in Jingcheng as predicted by the soothsayer Mu Yunkai.

But she didn't expect that under the round-up of several Fifth and Sixth Realm cultivators, Gu Xu would be able to escape smoothly.

"Zhao Yan, the daughter of the traitor Zhao Changying, suddenly appeared by Gu Xu's side and rescued him," Zhu Qiuyi, the chief soldier of Hedong Province, told her, "She seems to have a magic weapon that can confuse her mind and hide her whereabouts. After they escaped, we lost their whereabouts. ”

"Zhao Yan......" Princess Zhaoning silently recited the name.

Zhao Yan's sudden appearance was not unexpected by her. She had long suspected that Gu Xu and Zhao Yan had secretly formed an alliance and participated in the rebellion of Zhao Changying, the Duke of Yanguo - after all, the two of them stayed together for a long time on the day Luojing City was broken.

If it weren't for this, how could his father charge Gu Xu of "rebellion" without warning?

It's just that she didn't expect that after so many days, Zhao Yan was still staying in Daqi and had not returned to Youzhou.

In addition, according to the descriptions of the officials, Zhao Yan's combat effectiveness seemed to have reached a higher level, and he could confront the Sixth Realm cultivators without falling behind.

"It's a real headache." Thinking of this, Princess Zhaoning sighed silently.

One Gu Xu is already difficult enough to deal with. Now that another Zhao Yan has appeared, she feels even more anxious.

She turned and walked out of the attic to the main hall of the princess's mansion.

A young woman in a light green skirt was already waiting here.

This woman is tall, slender waist, white skin like jade, and elegant like a chrysanthemum.

It was the exorcist Shirou Nakakagami Hibiscus.

Yesterday afternoon, Shangguan Jin visited the princess's mansion and said in an apologetic tone: "Your Royal Highness the princess, Luo Sishou was seriously injured in the battle in the imperial city, and he is still recuperating in bed, and he is temporarily unable to serve the imperial court.

"Therefore, he specially sent me to your house to provide assistance to the best of his ability in the arrest of the traitor."

Shangguan Jin's words made Princess Zhaoning feel a little surprised.

In the eyes of mortals like her, a saint powerhouse like Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcist Division, has always been an unfathomable, almost immortal-like existence - I didn't expect to be so seriously injured.

But she still did not hesitate to accept Shangguan Jin's help.

Shangguan Jin, as the personal assistant cultivated by Luo Si, must be more familiar with the personnel and affairs within the Exorcism Division than her.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, have you found the whereabouts of the traitor Gu Xu recently?" As soon as he saw Princess Zhaoning, Shangguan Jian immediately asked in a concerned tone.

Her voice is light and soft, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

"Not yet," Princess Zhaoning shook her head, "I've been thinking about where he and Zhao Yan will try to escape from the border, and how many monks we need to send to stay there in advance." ”

"Actually, I don't think we need to set up ambushes everywhere like this to contain them." Shangguan Jin pondered for a moment and spoke.

"Why?"

"Both of them are very good at hiding their whereabouts, and there is no shortage of methods, and if we want to arrest them, we will inevitably consume a lot of resources, and even pay a lot of money.

"And it's hard for us to judge if there will be other helpers from Youzhou around them."

Hearing the word "price", Princess Zhaoning immediately thought of the blind soothsayer Mu Yunkai, and couldn't help but nod lightly, thinking deeply.

"So what is Shangguan Langzhong's good strategy?"

"Since their destination must be Youzhou, then we can directly attack Youzhou," Shangguan Jian said seriously, "In the Battle of Luojing, the thief leader Zhao Changying was severely injured by the power of thunder, and it is impossible to recover in a short time.

"Don't look at those Youzhou thieves who are full of enthusiasm, they want to be on the same page as us.

"But in reality, they must be desperate for some respite.

"Moreover, after a setback, there must be many people in Youzhou who are not of the same mind as Zhao Changying - these people are afraid of the strength of Great Qi, and will even consider surrendering to us in exchange for peace and security.

"Perhaps, we can try to negotiate with them, give them a little benefit, add a little deterrent, and ask them to hand over Gu Xu.

"Gu Xu is not a native of Youzhou. There is a high probability that he was only recruited by Zhao Changying because of his outstanding talent.

"The people of Youzhou may swear to protect the children of the Zhao family to the death, but they will never fight hard for an outsider like Gu Xu."

Princess Zhaoning narrowed her eyes slightly and pondered for a long time.

She knew that Youzhou's courage to rebel was because Zhao Changying broke through the eighth realm and became a "true monarch" powerhouse.

But now Zhao Changying's serious injuries have not recovered.

And except for Zhao Changying, the strongest monk in Youzhou is only the cultivation of the sixth realm.

In this case, in the face of Daqi's deterrence, will they still desperately protect Gu Xu?

"You have a point," after being silent for a while, Princess Zhaoning nodded and said slowly, "Just do as you say." ”

As she spoke, Mu Yunkai's bloody eyes resurfaced in her mind.

The strength Gu Xu showed in the process of escaping has greatly exceeded her expectations.

She felt that maybe by following Shangguan Jin's suggestion, the Great Qi Imperial Court could reduce some unnecessary losses.

After receiving Princess Zhaoning's response, Shangguan Jin bowed and retired.

She walked through the courtyard and out of the mansion to the bluestone-paved streets.

She stopped in the middle of the road, raised her head, and her gaze involuntarily drifted to the northeast. The sunlight poured down, enveloping her whole body in a surging golden halo.

"Gu Daoyou, are you okay?" She said silently in her heart, "Please forgive me for my limited ability to help you so much." ”

…………

On this day, when Gu Xu was crossing the border of Youzhou, Shi Lei, who came to the state capital of Qianhu, suddenly found that his daughter had quietly left home.

disappeared with her, and the Kunwu knife that she couldn't put down.

Shi Lei was suddenly anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

He immediately mobilized all the connections in Luojing City to search for Shi Xiaohan's traces everywhere.

In the end, he saw his disobedient daughter in an alley in the northern suburbs of Luojing City-

The petite girl held the huge knife box and looked at a wanted notice posted on the wall, stunned.

Shi Lei strode forward and grabbed her sleeve.

"Come home with me," he said, "and you are sensitive, and staying here will only make you suspicious." ”

Shi Xiaohan immediately turned around and turned his back to him, while waving his arms in an attempt to break free of his hand.

Shi Lei couldn't help but sigh silently, this girl's strength is really increasing day by day with the amount of food - he must use Zhenyuan in order to barely maintain the majesty of a father and avoid being easily thrown away by her.

Seeing Shi Xiaohan's lips pursed and his expression stubborn, Shi Lei sighed, lowered his voice, and said in her ear: "Now Gu Xu's whereabouts are unknown and he is in danger, with your current cultivation, even if you can find him, it will not help much, it will only become a drag on him." ”

seemed to be poked to the sore spot by Shi Lei's words, Shi Xiaohan suddenly had a sour nose, and two tears rolled out of his eyes uncontrollably.

"It's you...... You hurt him......" she said in a trembling voice.

That day, Princess Zhaoning and the soothsayer Mu Yunkai came to the Shi family's mansion, and she stayed in her room and heard all the conversations between the two and her father.

And last night, she inadvertently flipped through the documents of the government on her father's desk, and saw several officials of the fifth and sixth realms besieging Gu Xu in Jingcheng, and also saw Gu Xu being seriously injured and escaping death.

"My father and my former fiancé are already on opposite sides."

"My father provided information to the imperial court, which caused Gu Xu to be cornered and almost killed."

Even Shi Xiaohan, who has always been ignorant of the world and simple-minded, is aware of this cruel truth at this moment.

As a girl who grew up in a greenhouse, the world in Shi Xiaohan's eyes has always been black and white.

Her father loves her, Gu Xu takes care of her, both of them are good people, and they are the ones she will protect when she becomes stronger.

As for the bad guys, of course, the goblins who slaughtered the Terrans.

But now, this black-and-white orderly world has suddenly collapsed.

Gu Xu was being hunted down by the Great Qi court, while his father was providing clues to the court.

She felt unacceptable, and on the spur of the moment, she took advantage of the dawn to hold the Kunwu knife, planning to run away from home.

She wanted to go over to find Gu Xu.

However, after walking dizzily for a while, she reluctantly reacted that Gu Xu was fleeing with a magic weapon that shuttled through space. Even the many powerhouses sent by the imperial court couldn't find any trace of him, let alone his own weak and powerless Third Realm cultivator.

So, she stopped in front of Gu Xu's wanted warrant and stood in a daze for a long time.

Hearing her words, Shi Lei sighed again and said in a low voice: "You should have heard that the Lu clan in Qingzhou committed treason and was punished by the Nine Clans." ”

Shi Xiaohan let out a weak "um". After Gu Xu went to the Lu family's murderous mansion to solve the eucalyptus, she did go to learn about this matter.

"If I don't do this, our Shi family will likely become the next Qingzhou Lu clan." Shi Lei paused for a moment and continued.
