Xuan Yue guessed that the king did not guess that she was still alive, but simply thought that the gold-eating Gu was lost.
The easiest way to find the gold-eating Gu is to search in the direction of the gold mine. There is a newly mined gold mine not far from this border town, so the officers and soldiers came here.
Thinking of this, Xuan Yue calmed herself down and went to the place she and the Shadow Guard had agreed upon to meet up with them.
Now she has a total of 210 shadow guards under her command. To be on the safe side, Xuan Yue left 30 people in Dongwu country, so there are only 180 people here.
With so many people not daring to go through the city gate, Xuan Yue divided the shadow guards into six teams, four of which left the city gate in batches.
The remaining two teams protected her, climbed over a hundred-meter-high mountain bordering Da Zhou, and sneaked into Da Zhou.
A group of 61 people climbed up the cliff under the cover of night. The mountain road was rugged and uneven, and there was even no road in some places.
The shadow guards were all highly skilled and could walk on any difficult road or steep mountain as if it were flat ground. But what they didn't expect was that Xuan Yue didn't fall behind at all.
The higher you climb, the darker it becomes.
The tall and dense trees blocked out the sun, and the light of the bright moon in the sky was gradually completely obscured, leaving the surroundings completely dark.
Xuan Yue was breathing heavily, and even though her hands and feet were weak from exhaustion, she still took steps mechanically.
Climb up, cross the mountain, and survive!
She kept repeating this sentence over and over in her mind until dawn.
Stars of light appeared from the edge of the thick clouds, and dawn was coming.
The group finally climbed to the top of the mountain. They sat on a flat ground at the top of the mountain, took out some water and dry food and rested.
However, before Xuan Yue could finish the bun, the shadow guards around him stood up and became alert. Xuan Yue immediately stood up and stuffed the remaining half of the bun into his arms.
"what happened?"
"My Lord, someone is coming!"
Xuan Yue's heart skipped a beat and sweat instantly broke out on her palms. She didn't expect that the king had become so smart!
Whoosh...
Several sounds of breaking air came from the bushes at the foot of the mountain. In the dim light of dawn, Xuan Yue could clearly see the sharp arrows flying towards them!
"Protect the master!"
The shadow guards around him blended into the bushes as quickly as shadows and fought with the people hiding inside.
Xuan Yue didn't remember what happened afterwards very clearly. She only knew that after dodging the first round of arrow rain, five shadow guards protected her and ran down the mountain.
The way down the mountain was even more dangerous and steep. Xuan Yue didn't know how many times she fell. Her whole body was red and swollen. The long run made her chest feel as if it was being torn apart every time she breathed.
But she never stopped.
Until a figure flashed in front of her.
High Priest, Gusang!
"It's you!"
Xuan Yue looked at the middle-aged man in black robe in front of her and burst into anger. It turned out that this mysterious high priest saw through her means of faking her death!
"Saint, long time no see. The monarch doesn't believe you are still alive, so I can only bring people to take you back personally."
Gu Sang looked at Xuan Yue gloomily, "Where are the gold-eating Gu and the Holy Spirit Talisman?"
The five shadow guards rushed forward and fought desperately with Gu Sang without waiting for Xuan Yue to speak.
"Master, leave quickly!"
Xuan Yue felt sad, she knew that all sixty shadow guards would die here today.
Gu Sang and his priests are the most powerful group of people in the East Witch Kingdom, especially Gu Sang. They are good at using poison, and their methods are unpredictable and extremely vicious.
Looking at Gu Sang who was entangled by the shadow guards, Xuan Yue hardened his heart, turned around and continued to run down the mountain.
Only if she survives, the deaths of these shadow guards will not be in vain!
The sounds of fighting behind him gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of his own heavy breathing in Xuan Yue's ears.
The soles of his shoes were worn through and his feet were covered in blood. His broken toe bones had just been reconnected by the shadow guard, but they broke again during his wild run.
If they hurry a little faster, they will soon enter the border town of Da Zhou. As long as they reach a place where people live, Gu Sang will definitely not dare to show up.
The Great Zhou and the Eastern Wu Kingdom had just ended a dispute, which ended with the defeat of the Eastern Wu Kingdom. If Gu Sang, the high priest, was discovered sneaking into the territory of the Great Zhou, he would surely anger the Great Zhou army again. He dared not!
There seemed to be a figure riding a horse passing by in front of him, and Xuan Yue used up his last bit of strength to run towards the direction where the figure flashed.
She didn't even have time to see what the person in front of her looked like before she fell in front of a horse.
"help me……"
After saying this, Xuan Yue fainted completely.
It was seven days later when Xuan Yue opened her eyes again.
A handsome face appeared before him and spoke jokingly.
"Oh, he's not dead. The people of your East Witch Nation have really strong vitality."
Fallen at a glance.
Not long after, Xuan Yue's injuries were mostly healed, and this person would come to see her every few days. She learned from others that this person was actually the King of Jin of the Great Zhou, Nan Qingyang.
"Hey, how do you feel today? Tell me the truth, how much money do you owe that makes people chase you like this."
"I want you to take care of it!"
A few days later, Nan Qingyang came to see her with a bowl of milk and bird's nest.
"Hey, why did you get out of bed? Your toes are broken into several sections, why don't you lie down quickly."
"I want you to take care of it!"
thump.
"Hahahahaha." Nan Qingyang bent over with laughter as he looked at Xuan Yue who had fallen flat on his face.
A few days later, Nan Qingyang stood in front of her tent on horseback.
"Come on, I'll take you on a horse ride."
That was Xuan Yue’s first time riding a horse. When galloping in the wild, it made people feel that even their hair was free.
She is free!
After having enough fun, the two of them returned to the campfire in front of the big tent, and Nan Qingyang roasted sweet potatoes for Xuan Yue.
"What's your name? I can't keep calling you 'Aiya'."
Xuan Yue smiled and took the hot sweet potato he handed over. The sweet taste was so new and unfamiliar, and so delicious that her eyes widened.
Nan Qingyang found her expression funny, "How come you have never eaten sweet potatoes? How did you grow so big?"
Hearing this, Xuan Yue's smile faded.
How did you grow up?
Apart from her mother, there were only three or four old women and maids serving her, and dozens of guards surrounding the tower all day long. Her three meals a day were prepared according to the standards of the imperial palace, but they were all very bland.
Ever since she could remember, she had been practicing swimming and breath holding. When she was a little older, she met the Shadow Guard and knew that there was a great possibility that she would die.
This is how she grew up, but she couldn't say it out loud. Her identity was too special and she could never tell anyone.
Nan Qingyang was no longer surprised by her silence and continued talking to himself.
"I'm going back to the capital."
With a snap, a piece of sweet potato in Xuan Yue's hand fell to the ground.
Nan Qingyang didn't seem to mind. He picked it up, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.
"There have been a lot of strange people around the military camp recently. They seem to be investigating something. If I leave, I'm afraid this military camp won't be a completely safe place."
Xuan Yue turned to look at him, her heart growing more and more nervous.
"So...if you want to leave, make plans as soon as possible."
