Rong Xiu slowly glanced at everyone and casually suggested, "It's not bad to split into two teams."

He said casually, "I will take Zhao Zhao and flee by land, taking a shortcut to Xian Qin's mansion. The princess and Mr. Gongsun will go by water under the escort of the Imperial City Army."

He said slowly: "In this way, no matter who arrives at Xianqin Mansion first, they can communicate with the owner of Luoxia Mountain about picking herbs first..."

Splitting the troops into two groups seemed to be a good idea, but everyone felt something was wrong.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't the princess be in danger?" Gongsun Li suddenly pointed out the problem: "You just said that traveling with the Imperial City Army would make you too conspicuous and you have been targeted by various forces."

At this time, he said that he and Princess Changle should follow the imperial army by water. What was his intention?

Princess Changle also had a look of disapproval on her face. Although she said that she would give Rong Xiu absolute trust, she was not a fool who would only follow orders.

"You made the arrangement to sink the ship tonight because you wanted us to escape and confuse the pursuers." Princess Changle looked at Rong Xiu calmly, showing the aura of a princess, and slowly pressed towards Rong Xiu.

"If I take someone to Xian Qin's mansion, someone will definitely be suspicious." Princess Changle said, "Let's not talk about whether I will be attacked and searched if I take the water route... Rong Shizi, are you sure those people in the capital won't set up obstacles on the land?"

When the time comes, without the protection of the Imperial Army, do you, a young general, expect to fight a hundred enemies alone?

Hua Yuanzhao frowned, feeling that what Princess Changle said made sense.

Since they wanted to escape death, they had to die cleanly. Only Princess Changle and Gongsun Li, who was a doctor, were left "alive". It looked like a fraud no matter how you looked at it!

Rong Xiu was not annoyed by being questioned, and asked casually: "Then... Princess, what do you think?"

Princess Changle looked at Rong Xiu hesitantly, always feeling that he had bad intentions.

Hua Yuanzhao was about to say something, but he was not sure what Rong Xiu really thought.

"Then let's go together! Don't bring any imperial soldiers with you!" Princess Lin'an became impatient and stood up to interrupt.

"Let the Imperial City Army go to Xianqin Mansion by water alone!" she added.

"You can also let the Imperial Army gather troops along the way in the name of searching for us and prepare for the return journey." Hua Yuanzhao looked at Rong Xiu hesitantly.

Putting aside other things, it might be possible to ask the government offices along the way to mobilize their runners to provide guard along the way, right?

"You still have some brains." Rong Xiu looked at the two of them and said half-praising and half-jokingly.

He then asked: "But what if I am the only one here and someone is targeting me?"

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the people around him, finally stopping on Gongsun Li.

Gongsun Li felt uneasy when he was looked at by him, and his heart was beating fast. He suddenly said something like this. Could it be that this person was doubting him?

This is impossible!

Rong Xiu looked at Gongsun Li meaningfully, until everyone followed his gaze and looked at Gongsun Li, Rong Xiu slowly withdrew his gaze.

"Mr. Gongsun, he..." Princess Changle wanted to step out to smooth things over.

"I have a way." Hua Yuanzhao said suddenly. She pretended to reach into her sleeve and fumbled, then took out a pack of cold capsules.

She took out a pill at random, pinched it between her fingertips and shook it, and the powder in the capsule immediately made a slight rustling sound.

"This is the twin heart-eating insect I cultivated recently." Hua Yuanzhao held the cold capsule and lied calmly: "After taking it, if the host is seriously injured, the insect will revive and crawl out to prolong the host's life..."

Hua Yuanzhao glanced at everyone and continued, "If the host dies, the Gu worm will die a quarter of an hour after crawling out."

Amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Hua Yuanzhao smiled. Under the light of the fire, her smile was kind, gentle and particularly moving.

"And the biggest feature of this kind of poisonous insects is that they can sense each other." She explained in a gentle voice: "In other words, if one person is injured, the poisonous insects in the bodies of others will start to make trouble. If someone dies, the poison in the bodies of others will erupt."

Princess Lin'an shuddered and asked tremblingly, "Sister Hua...what will happen if the poison breaks out?"

Hua Yuanzhao smiled but didn't answer. The name of this "gu" is Twin Heart-Eating Gu. What else can happen after the Gu worms erupt? Of course, it will eat your heart.

She said to everyone, "There are twelve Gu worms in this batch. Would you like to try them?"
