Chapter 53: The Naughty Young Master

"impossible!"

After hearing what Zhongyu said, Shi Jue's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "Guguo is a die-hard loyalist of the Xiahou clan, and the ruler of Guguo was once a close follower of the king."

He said: "Guguo will never betray the king or the Xiahou clan!"

He added: "Your Highness, I have eyes, I can see the attitude of the Gu Kingdom. I have been in the Gu Kingdom these days, and I have deeply experienced the loyalty of the king."

Zhong Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I am not denying the loyalty of the King of Gu. But the current situation is not favorable to me. I must prevent any possible crisis."

Jiang Shan said from the side: "The ruler of Gu may be loyal to the Xiahou clan, but what about the nobles of Gu? What about the rest of the people of Gu? Maybe not?"

Shi Jue stared at Jiang Shan fiercely: "It was you who bewitched His Highness!"

Zhong Yu held her back and said, "This is my own idea, Jue, please don't blame Jiang Shan."

Then he said, "However, you change the route and the landing place. We will go ashore and hide first. If Gu Guo has any ill intentions towards me, they will definitely be exposed in the next action."

Shi Jue listened, hesitated for a while, and said: "But the sisters are all in Gu Cheng."

Jiang Shan said, "We will go ashore later. Zhongyu and I will leave first. If you pretend that you have not been able to pick up Zhongyu, go back to Gucheng to see Guguo's attitude. If his attitude changes, you should make a prompt decision and bring your people out."

Zhong Yu thought and said, "There is a mountain called Zhuyang in the south of Gu State, and there is a abyss called Xianji in the southeast of Zhuyang Mountain. We agreed to meet at Xianji Abyss on the tenth day. If we fail to meet up due to an accident, you will take your people to Li State, and we will try to meet up in Li State."

"Master Wan, the bamboo boat is heading downstream!"

On the south bank of the Dan River, in a bay, a group of people stood on the slope of the bank. They were looking at the Dan River and talking about something. At this time, an armored warrior hurried over and shouted, "Please give the order to move downstream!"

The leader, a man in brocade clothes and a golden crown, with a strong build, frowned upon hearing this and said, "Even though Shi Jue is so stupid, she can also sense that something is wrong?"

Someone nearby said, "Sir, it may not be that Shi Jue discovered something."

Gu Wan's expression changed: "Could it be our prince? I remember Zhongyu was only fourteen years old!"

"After all, he is the eldest son of the king, the descendant of the Xia Dynasty."

Gu Wan heard this and frowned, saying, "In that case, everyone, follow me and quickly chase downstream. We must not let Zhong Yu get away. The survival of our Gu country depends on this!"

At this moment, a streak of light came from afar and suddenly landed in front of the group of people, revealing a steel-like figure - he was wearing heavy armor and his face was as hard as iron.

"Young Master!"

Gu Wan stopped immediately and smiled at him: "General Lie, what can I do for you?"

The general named Lie stared at Gu Wan with his fierce eyes and asked, "Sir, why do you have the leisure to come to the bank of Danshui today?"

Gu Wan said, "I suddenly feel tired, so I came to see the vastness of the elixir water."

General Lie said, "The king has something to discuss with you, please follow me back to Gucheng as soon as possible."

When Gu Wan heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, General Lie, wait a moment."

He winked at the people around him and said, "The elk that just escaped must be brought back to me. I will prepare a feast for you all tonight."

The left and right people responded.

General Lie grabbed Gu Wan's arm, leaped forward, and turned into a ray of light, disappearing into the distance.

After watching the light disappear from sight, someone said, "The king is so devoted to the Xia Dynasty that he has turned a blind eye to the imminent danger of national destruction. Fortunately, he has the stubborn young master, otherwise, the situation would be ruined!"

"The king has become suspicious of Master Wan, and is now hindering him in every way. Master Wan doesn't even dare to use the offerings of the Mingxing realm. Sigh."

"Don't say anything more. Catch Zhongyu first. If Zhongyu escapes, all your plans will be in vain."

"Shi Jue doesn't know that Master Wan has left a mark on the bamboo boat. No matter how she changes her route, she can't escape our grasp."

So when the bamboo boat reached the shore, Jiang Shan, Zhong Yu and Shi Jue had just stepped onto the south bank of Danshui. Before they had taken a few steps, Zhong Yu's jade pendant warned them that many hostile people were surrounding them from all directions.

Zhong Yu sighed: "It seems that I was right."

Jiang Shan pulled him and turned around to jump onto the boat. Shi Jue looked grim and hurriedly tried to pick up the bamboo boat and leave the shore, but found that the bamboo boat didn't move at all!

Shi Jue's face turned pale, and he slowly drew the scimitar from his waist and said, "Your Highness, I was wrong."

Jiang Shan pulled Zhong Yu up and jumped back onto the shore. He looked around and asked, "Don't waste time. Find a direction to break out. Don't wait for them to get close to you!"

Zhongyu pointed to the left front and said, "Let's go north!"

He said, "Guguo must know that I am heading south, so we should go the opposite way. Once we have shaken off the siege, we can try to change our route."

Jiang Shan nodded, and immediately switched to his innate human true body. He picked up Zhong Yu, took big steps, and used his huge body to push away the air, rushing north in a crushing manner.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Shi Jue shouted, "I'll lead the way!"

She leapt up, surpassed Jiang Shan, and led the way.

Soon, a group of armored warriors appeared in front.

Shi Jue let out a muffled groan, and his body rushed into the group of warriors like a stream of light. The sword flashed everywhere, and in an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and heads rolled. In just one breath, he killed hundreds of warriors.

Jiang Shan's huge body followed closely and crushed past, trampling out a path of flesh and blood.

Jiang Shan said: "They are all ordinary warriors!"

There is no one in this group who is even comparable to Yuan Xin.

Very strange.

But he couldn't help but think too much. Although there were no strong men here, there might be some in other directions. If he delayed for a moment, he would be surrounded and caught up, and then he would be in trouble.

Jiang Shan was worried as he took Zhong Yu and followed Shi Jue in front of him and galloped all the way. He thought there would be blockades ahead, but he didn't expect that after running for half an hour, there was no blockage.

Zhongyu held the jade pendant and said, "The enemy is behind us."

After Jiang Shan and his party killed hundreds of warriors and left for only a few minutes, three people appeared from the sky.

Seeing the blood and flesh all over the ground, the three of them looked a little ugly.

One person said, "They ran to the north!"

"If I had known earlier, one of the three of us could block the north."

"Knowing that Zhongyu was fleeing south, we naturally had to focus on blocking the southern route. Who knew he would choose to flee north?"

"Stop talking nonsense! The master still trusts me. We can't let Zhongyu get away. Go after him!"

As the three of them were talking, one of them took out a light blue flower and threw it in front of him, which turned into a misty cloud. The three of them looked at each other and jumped onto the water cloud together. The water cloud swelled and a stream of water light engulfed the three of them, and they flew up lightly. Then, a blue light flashed, and it suddenly broke through the air and chased after Jiang Shan and the others in the direction they were fleeing.
