If they let their guard down, they could very well be harmed by Ah Qi.

Now all we can do is prepare early so that when Ah Qi comes after them, we can put up a good fight.

Qi Guze is currently suffering from severe internal injuries, and it's unclear when he will be able to recover.

If his internal injuries heal, there will be almost no one in the entire Four Kingdoms who cannot match him.

Xu Yuehuai also thought of this and said to Qi Guze, "Your Highness, the situation is so critical now, can you tell me what medicine can quickly enhance the internal strength of the human body?"

"Once my internal strength improves, and I cultivate extremely yin internal energy, I will be able to heal you."

"The situation is so critical now, Your Highness, please don't hide it from me anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Guze frowned.

"What are you saying? No matter what, even if I were in mortal danger, I would never gamble with your life!"

Even if I end up injured and dead, you cannot suffer even the slightest harm!

"I won't tell you how to quickly improve your internal strength, and don't even think about asking Pei Xuan and the others. If they try to tell you and I find out, I'll kick them out!"

Qi Guze didn't seem to be joking; his expression was particularly serious.

After hearing what he said, Xu Yuehuai mentally prepared herself.

She will definitely try her best to find out the method when the time comes, but before that, she absolutely cannot let Qi Guze know that she is looking for a solution.

Since he didn't want her help to treat his internal injuries, she would definitely keep her intentions hidden until then.

Once a method is found, Xu Yuehuai will do everything in her power to save Qi Guze, even if he is unwilling.

Qi Guze held Xu Yuehuai in his arms and really felt that the pain in his body had lessened.

The two of them lay down to rest, but after a while, Xu Yuehuai fell asleep first.

Hearing Xu Yuehuai's steady breathing, Qi Guze couldn't help but smile. Then, a wave of pain washed over him, and he calmed himself down and got some rest.

The next day, Qi Guze's remaining guards also arrived.

They had already sent away all of Xu Yuehuai's relatives, and now they only brought Anan with them.

When Anan saw that Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai were all unharmed, her eyes were filled with tears.

"Uncle! It must be because of me that you've been dragged down, otherwise you wouldn't be being targeted by the Emperor!"

He guessed that it must be because of his identity that Ah Qi had secretly harmed them.

Their current predicament is inextricably linked to their own actions.

Qi Guze patted Anan's head and said, "What are you saying? What does our current predicament have to do with you? Don't take everything on yourself. None of this is your fault. If anyone is at fault, it's the people who harmed us."

"You are the true Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and you will be the Emperor in the future. You must not take all the blame upon yourself. You must walk the path of life well, and then you will avenge us!"

"You must remember what I'm telling you."

Upon hearing this, Anan quickly nodded.

"Yes, Uncle, I've kept everything you said in mind, and I will listen to you carefully."

"You know this yourself. Now that you're all here, let's get started."

Qi Guze stood at a fork in the road, looking at the two roads ahead.

He thought about it carefully for a while, and then said to everyone, "Now we have two paths in front of us. One is to go to Wuling Kingdom, and the other is to go to Dongsang Kingdom."

"The Kingdom of Dongsang is extremely far from here. If we go through their country, there will be a desert, and we don't know if there are poisonous creatures there. We haven't made many preparations, and if we go now, it's very likely that only a few of us will actually make it."

"As for Wuling Kingdom, the situation is not much different from ours. Their country is very stable now. If we go there, we can contact the people there and live there for a while."

"My opinion is that we can go to Wuling Kingdom now."

"I just don't know what your thoughts are?"

As he spoke, he looked at the people next to him.

Xu Yuehuai said, "I also think Wuling Kingdom is a very good choice."

"If the journey is too long, we'll probably encounter many groups of assassins."

"Now we're going to Wuling Kingdom. We'll send a group of people to disguise themselves and go to Dongsang Kingdom. This will not only confuse them, but also allow us to arrive in Wuling Kingdom sooner and more safely."

Qi Guze said, "Your method is really great, then let's use this method."

After discussing it for a while, they immediately began to take action.

Qi Guze selected a group of highly skilled martial artists and had them disguise themselves as them to travel to Dongsang Kingdom.

The rest of the group split into several pairs and headed to Wuling Kingdom along different routes. They would reunite once they arrived in Wuling Kingdom.

After making the arrangements, Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai left with Pei Xuan and the others.

Anan then walked with Duan Nian and the others.

After they parted ways, they immediately set off on their journey.

At different forks in the road, they headed in different directions.

Throughout the journey, Xu Yuehuai took care of Qi Guze and was also trying to find out how to quickly improve the internal strength within the human body.

But no matter who she asked, no one would tell her.

After traveling for a long time, they stopped in a village.

The villagers were incredibly hospitable and welcomed them all inside.

“We haven’t had any strangers in our village for a long time. They don’t look like ordinary people. What are they doing traveling such a long way?”

A villager asked Qi Guze and his group questions.

Xu Yuehuai said, "My brother died while he was away on business. My husband and I are going to bring his body back now."

Qi Guze was overjoyed to hear Xu Yuehuai address him as "husband".

The villagers nearby, upon hearing this, did not suspect them.

After all, they looked travel-worn and in a real hurry, so I didn't ask them any more questions. I felt especially sorry for them and took them into my home.

"We don't have much at home, so please don't mind these steamed buns and some vegetable porridge."

These villagers are not doing well. The harvest in this area has been poor recently, and they themselves don't have much to eat. Now they can only provide Qi Guze and the others with some simple meals.
