176 “Let’s Talk About It When You Really Leave The Border.”

At first, he had wondered if this woman would cry and make a fuss. He had seen too many female slaves who were extremely fierce at first but immediately had a mental breakdown when they reached the grassland.

However, this woman was very calm from the beginning to the end. She was so calm that he thought that she was scared silly!

However, just as he reached out curiously to touch her, she scratched him.

She wasn’t scared silly, but simply didn’t want to talk!

Then, he began to guess if the young lady in front of him didn’t know about her situation or if she was just pretending to be calm for the time being. Therefore, along the way, if there was a chance, he would tell her about the fate of the women who had been kidnapped, like her.

He thought that he would be met with some fear from this woman, but she turned around and spat at him…

Later on, he determined that the young lady in front of him actually knew her current situation, but she didn’t choose to give up, as he had guessed. Instead, she was calm and composed.

It was even more dangerous to travel in the forest at night than during the day.

However, just as King Gu Han had said previously, he was probably extremely familiar with this area, so they didn’t encounter any big trouble along the way.

Of course, that was only in Lin Suisui’s point of view.

However, to King Gu Han, the current trouble was actually no small matter.

For some reason, this passageway that he had always been quite confident in had actually been discovered by the pursuers chasing after him! Moreover, what shocked him even more was that no matter how he arranged for people to divert the pursuers’ attention along the way, the pursuers behind him chased him all the way!

If this continued, they would meet at noon tomorrow!

“What should we do now?!”

Almost all of the warriors who followed King Gu Han had experienced hundreds of battles with him. Daral frowned and rode over anxiously to walk beside King Gu Han. “If we can’t think of a suitable solution, we might really have to…”

He didn’t dare to say the worst outcome, but he knew that even if he didn’t say it, King Gu Han knew.

“It’s fine. Let’s continue to rush in the direction of the border! As long as we leave the border before tomorrow, we’ll have someone to receive us when we enter the grassland!” King Gu Han calculated the itinerary. If they sped up, they might be able to leave the border and return to the grassland tomorrow afternoon.

Once he left the border, he would be in his territory!

No matter how capable the pursuers behind him were, he didn’t believe that they could bring so few people deep into the northern barbarian territory!

“I’ll go and instruct them now!” After receiving King Gu Han’s instructions, Daral turned around and rode his horse back to instruct the guards behind King Gu Han.

Because of King Gu Han’s instructions, the light cavalry sped up again. They looked like they would charge forward non-stop for the entire night.

King Gu Han ran quickly in front, so Lu Ze naturally chased after him even more anxiously.

He had used Pei Qian’s eagle to give out a warrant with his personal seal. Therefore, the people who came to follow him weren’t the Northern Battlefront Army that the Imperial Court had arranged, but the Yanyun Army that he had previously controlled!

Therefore, the 200-odd people advanced without any rest and surrounded King Gu Han’s lone army.

“Your Highness, the scouts at the front reported that King Gu Han and the others have already thrown down unnecessary supplies and are fleeing faster than before. At this speed, they will be able to leave the border by noon tomorrow!”

A general in black rode to Lu Ze’s side and quickly reported the military intel he had just received to Lu Ze, who was sitting on his horse.

“The Crown Princess is still under King Gu Han’s control. If they successfully escape and return, it will be too difficult to track King Gu Han after that!”

Most importantly, they had limited manpower now. It was too risky to go deep into the grassland!

“Inform Yan Qing and the others to surround them with all their might! At all costs, we must trap King Gu Han inside the border!” Lu Ze raised his whip and urged his horse forward again. Along the way, he didn’t stop at all!

He naturally knew the outcome if he failed!

Ever since he found out that Lin Suisui had been kidnapped by King Gu Han, he had been feeling extremely guilty. He wanted Lin Suisui to stay behind for her safety!

According to his previous arrangements with Pei Qian, the refugee camp wouldn’t suffer much damage!

He had predicted everything, but neglected Lin Suisui’s thoughts.

Why was he so sure that Lin Suisui would listen to him and return to the refugee camp…

Thinking of Lin Suisui’s previous attitude regarding being abandoned, he couldn’t help but feel heartache. How could he have forgotten…

King Gu Han traveled quickly and only stopped when it was almost midnight. Then, he found a place at the foot of the mountain to rest.

Even though Lin Suisui was wrapped in a cloak, the strong wind along the way still made her feel chilled to the bone.

The moment she was put down from the horse, she staggered and almost lost her balance. However, before he reached out to help her, she tried her best to stabilize herself. She staggered to a huge rock at the side and leaned against it as she slid to the ground.

She panted for a while. After she recovered, she covered her face with snow with trembling hands. With the coldness of the snow, she instantly sobered up.

“After we cross this mountain, we’ll be able to enter the grassland!” King Gu Han looked around. Then, he turned around and returned to Lin Suisui’s side. He said to her in a proud tone, “It’s been hard on you for the past few days. When we return to the palace, I’ll help you find whatever you want to eat. How about that?!”

“Let’s talk about it when you really leave the border.” Lin Suisui took out the wheat biscuit that she had not finished eating previously and broke off a piece before putting it into her mouth to chew slowly.

As long as she looked up, she could see the endless forest. If Lu Ze was on the way to her now, where was he?!
