The mountain road was bumpy, Qin Zhongwan and Gu Siyuan supported each other.

It rained lightly in the evening, and the mud under his feet was soft. If someone accidentally fell into it, or lost weight and fell, Gu Siyuan could not move half of his arms. Qin Zhongwan supported him with extra care.

Qin Zhongwan looked around from time to time. The forest was quiet at night, and the movement between her and Gu Siyuan became particularly loud. Qin Zhongwan had to be wary of whether Gu Siyi would send people to search the forest overnight.

Fortunately, the road that the village uncle pointed out to Qin Zhongwan was relatively secretive. It was only occasionally that the villagers who had lived at the foot of the mountain for generations walked away.

Qin Zhongwan estimated that they had been gone for most of an hour.

She walked out in a sweat, and Gu Siyuan's situation was not optimistic either. Without saying anything, Qin Zhongwan could hear his breathing getting heavier.

"We should have walked more than half of the way. If there is still a little bit left, we can reach the foot of the mountain."

Before Qin Zhongwan finished speaking, the light of fire appeared not far away, making both of them feel cold.

"who are you!"

In the dark night, his vision was blurred and he couldn't see faces clearly. Qin Zhongwan dragged Gu Siyuan tightly, turned around and ran away.

The cold wind poured straight into his neck, Qin Zhongwan clenched his teeth and dragged the person, almost half of Gu Siyuan's body was leaning on her, the footsteps behind him were quick, and someone seemed to be calling from behind.

"Here comes someone! There are two unidentified people here..."

What to do?Qin Zhongwan was extremely anxious.

If the person behind called the others, how could they escape the encirclement?I'm afraid I won't be able to escape even if I have wings.

In a hurry, he heard a sigh in his ear, and then Gu Siyuan stopped. Qin Zhongwan couldn't hide his surprise, "Why don't you run? What are you doing standing there?"

Gu Siyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. After he stood still, he shook his head at Qin Zhongwan and said it was too late.

The man behind him also caught up at this time and saw Qin Zhongwan and Gu Siyuan laughing wildly.

"God really favors me and allows me to make meritorious deeds!"

His eyes were burning with excitement. The identity of the obviously injured prince, Qin Zhongwan, was unknown, but she looked like a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken. This was not God's blessing!

The third prince has a secret order. Whenever he sees the prince, his dead body will be brought back to the residence. If he is still alive, he will be killed!

The guard saw the royal road where he had been promoted to a noble rank, and he did not forget to sarcastically say: "His Royal Highness the Prince is really a good-natured man. He has a beautiful wife to keep him company when he is reduced to this place, but on the way to hell, he is not alone if he has someone to accompany him."

Qin Zhongwan's arrogant words made Qin Zhongwan want to grab a handful of poison and throw it out, causing the person to become mute so that he wouldn't have to utter such arrogant words.

Gu Siyuan didn't say a word, he was not angry and proud.

The guard didn't take two people seriously at all. One was half-disabled and the other was a woman. How could they break the law?

With a fierce expression on his face, he pressed forward step by step towards Qin Zhongwan.

Little did they know that because of his confidence, Gu Siyuan also had murderous intentions towards him.

How dare a mere soldier insult Qin Zhongwan?

He was alone, presumably because he was separated from the main force, so there was no harm in killing him.

The man could only approach for a few breaths, and he was not guarded against Gu Siyuan at all.

However, it was the half-disabled person that he looked down upon. He pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and plunged the knife directly into the man's heart.

Blood spurted out, the man's eyes bulged, and the severe pain in his chest made him look down in disbelief.

Gu Siyuan pushed lightly and the person fell to the ground with a "bang".

Do not look down.

"If I don't kill him, he will kill us."

"I know." Qin Zhongwan's face was unclear.

She looked at the corpse in trance. The person who was so arrogant and provocative just now was gone in the blink of an eye.

Gu Siyuan's brows were filled with annoyance. He didn't want to do anything in front of Qin Zhongwan.

Qin Zhongwan was proficient in the art of Qihuang and liked to cure diseases and treat people. He probably had the ambition of hanging a pot to help the world.

She was a charming person, so she probably couldn't bear to see him taking people's lives at will.

Although Gu Siyuan couldn't help himself.

"After all, I dirty the second lady's eyes."

Gu Siyuan felt guilty and mixed with complicated emotions.

"People kill alone, and it has nothing to do with the second lady. The second lady doesn't have to feel guilty."

If a blood debt must be paid with blood, Qin Zhongwan should not be responsible for the resentment accumulated by the person he killed.

The man was already dead. Qin Zhongwan was speechless for a moment. Hearing Gu Siyuan's words, it was difficult to explain.

What should she say?He is not aboveboard, nor is he surprised and frightened when he sees dead people.

But, things backfired.

Qin Zhongwan did not want to participate in the battle for the legitimate heir from the beginning to the end. One general's achievements have led to thousands of bones drying up, and the supreme throne must be soaked in the blood of many people before the final winner can sit on it.

Qin Zhongwan had no way of knowing that she was not innocent, otherwise, Qin Xiaoyun would have planned her out in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Qin Zhongwan came back to his senses and met Gu Siyuan's worried eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood. My daughter is just temporarily absent-minded."

She had no way to talk about the many inner disputes, and now was not the time to talk.

Gu Siyuan killed a person without changing his expression. He didn't know when the team would find out that the person was missing. They had no time or energy to dispose of the body. The body would be discovered sooner or later.

Gotta get down the mountain as soon as possible!
