Yuan Zhimei could no longer maintain that weak and pure image and began to threaten Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao stood alone on the edge of the cliff, facing Yuan Zhimei and his group of more than a dozen people. They were wearing men's robes and had tall and straight figures, showing no sign of fear.

"Before smart people die, at least more fools must die first. But the world doesn't care about the life and death of fools, it will only pity the demise of smart people."

Gu Zhao glanced at the people in front of him, "I just don't know what idiot will jump out and attack me?"

Everyone, including Zheng Lunru, was silent, and no one stood up.

What Gu Zhao just said is not wrong at all. No matter who it is, as long as they dare to kill Gu Zhao openly, they can just wait for the revenge of King Li Qin Xinglie.

Even Yuan Zhimei won't be able to protect them by then.

Gu Zhao gave a long laugh, turned around, jumped up to the top of the tree, and galloped away into the distance.

Looking at Gu Zhaoyuan's retreating figure, Yuan Zhi's eyebrows showed a hint of sarcasm.

She had already set up a dragnet, but a mere little girl dared to be so arrogant in front of her. Hum, when she, Gu Zhao, cried...

Just as Gu Zhao turned around, his calm and calm expression suddenly became tense.

She did not dare to go back to lead the horse, so she could only run with all her strength in the direction of the Prince's Courtyard.

Zheng Lunru said that the elite of the Hussars camp were around, and how could Yuan Zhimei let her go so easily? There were traps somewhere in the mountains and forests, and they had to leave as soon as possible.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting was heard not far away, and Gu Zhao saw the Scarface he had seen leading a fight with another group of people.

Seeing Gu Zhao running by alone, Du Pinggu suddenly became anxious.

"Send a warning!" The brother who just went back to deliver the message was intercepted and killed on the road. If he hadn't been cautious and sent a team of scouts to follow him, he might not have known the situation now.

Now Gu Zhao is walking back alone. If something happens, the prince will not let him go.

The sounding arrows rushed high into the sky, making a sharp chirping sound that lasted for a long time and could be heard for dozens of miles around.

Three consecutive blasts are the most urgent signal from the death-seeking army.

Du Pinggu himself quickly approached Gu Zhao and said, "Master Gu!"

Even if Gu Zhao had a big opinion against Qin Xinglie, he couldn't show his face when he saw Du Pinggu who had rescued him on the dock. He could only stop and nodded to him.

Gu Zhao expressed the gratitude he had always wanted to express, "Thank you for saving me that day. You left before I had a chance to say thank you."

It can be seen that Du Pinggu is not a person who smiles often. He reluctantly moved the muscles on his face and responded to Gu Zhao, "That is the prince's order. I am just following the order."

Gu Zhao twitched his lips, feeling much calmer than in the afternoon. "Why are you here?"

Du Pinggu told the truth, "Your Majesty is worried about you, so let us follow you to protect you."

"Who are those people?" Gu Zhao asked, pointing to the group of people who were fighting with King Li's men.

"People from Donghao." Du Pinggu replied succinctly.

Gu Zhao looked carefully and found no obvious evidence.

Du Pinggu explained, "They should have lived in Bei'an for a long time. Their behavior, words and deeds are not much different from those of Bei'an people, but their fighting routines and styles have not completely changed."

The death-seeking army fought countless battles with Donghao's army and Xizuo in Northern Xinjiang, and the identities of these people were determined as soon as they took action.

Du Pinggu added, "I suspect they are coming for you."

Gu Zhao felt deeply uncomfortable, "How did the Donghao people know that I was here?" Yuan Zhimei's name was the first to pop into Gu Zhao's mind.

This is probably Yuan Zhimei's backup plan. If she refuses to compromise and cooperate, Yuan Zhimei will attack her.

Her influence on Qin Xinglie is what Yuan Zhimei is most afraid of.

After she died, Yuan Zhimei was the only person Qin Xinglie cared about.

Zheng Lunru is here. As long as he leaves some Bei'an official weapons at the scene and points the finger at Qin Youzhen's men, Qin Xinglie can blame Qin Youzhen.

Soon, Yuan Zhimei will be able to fulfill her wish and become the empress dowager.

Du Pinggu led people to protect Gu Zhao and rushed out.

Gu Zhao is not a weakling either. Her Yan Fei Dao flies like snow, is light and tricky, and cuts out from angles that the enemy does not expect. It is no worse than any veteran of the Death-Seeking Army.

Du Pinggu also saw some traces of Qin Xinglie's martial arts.

Just when they were about to break out of the encirclement, there were screams of terror from behind, and Yuan Zhimei was also protected by the guards and chased after them.

Behind them, there was another group of dozens of Donghao people, one after another with the enemies in front of Gu Zhao and others, blocking them on the edge of the cliff on the side of the mountain forest.

"Vice General Du!" Lu Yao also recognized Du Pinggu and shouted to him in a sharp voice, "Come and protect the madam! If the madam makes any mistakes, which one of you can afford it?"

Du Pinggu frowned, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to command his men to defend the enemy with Yuan Zhimei's people.

Gu Zhao was fighting a Donghao man when he suddenly felt a sound coming from behind.

She turned her feet, bent down to avoid the long sword that was slashed behind her, and turned behind the attacker like a top. With her free left hand, she had already pulled out the Emei Thorn and pierced the attacker mercilessly.

of the heart.

After seeing the appearance of the sneak attacker, Gu Zhao was not surprised at all. This sneak attacker was a member of Yuan Zhimei's guard.

Looking at Zheng Lunru's ugly face, he must be from the Hussars Camp.
