Li Junze nodded. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Although he did not ask his father to directly appoint him as the crown prince, this method was also a common occurrence in the courts of all dynasties.

After all, my father ascended the throne in this way.

"Father, Ze'er is ready..."

Li Junhao insisted on following Sang Mo to investigate further ahead, but was persuaded by Yan Nangui and Sang Mo.

Sang Mo said even more firmly, "Your Highness, their camp is just ahead. Please wait here for a while. I will bring a few experts over there."

After all, Li Junhao is their backbone. If something really happens to him, how can they guarantee follow-up actions?

Yan Nangui also nodded, holding the reins of Li Junhao's mount without letting go, "Your Highness, please be patient. Didn't you always tell us to wait for urgent matters?"

"Besides, Mr. Yu has already arranged for someone to put drugs in their food. Chief Sang and his men will definitely be able to rescue Miss Gu."

Li Junhao sighed helplessly. He was not a man who would act on his own, and he understood their concerns. Everything has its uncertainties, and they were also worried that something might happen to them.

But how could he stop now? He knew that Gu Xunwei was in the tents in front, but he couldn't go in to look for her.

Seeing that Li Junhao didn't say anything, Sang Mo stopped moving forward.

"Your Highness, don't worry. All the subordinates I brought are elite soldiers, and brothers with good light skills. We will definitely be able to find Miss Gu."

Li Junhao nodded and finally compromised. After all, even if they couldn't find Gu Xunwei, he would find a way to get Li Junze to hand over Gu Xunwei tomorrow.

If something really happened to him today, it would be difficult to rescue Gu Xunwei.

Sang Mo checked his night clothes again, and quickly disappeared into the night with several people dressed similarly.

Yan Nangui looked at Li Junhao's nervous expression and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. After all, in the dense mountains and forests ahead, there were tens of thousands of terrifying Northern Yan troops hidden, and they would be alarmed if they were not careful.

"I hope Xuanjizi's medicine can play a big role." Yan Nangui looked at the woods in the distance and murmured.

Li Junhao understood that for so many people, their meals must be prepared separately, especially the closer they were to the leader or commander, the more stringent their meal preparation would be.

On the one hand, it is to prevent such poisoning incidents from happening, and on the other hand, it is also to worry about accidentally ingesting poisonous food during the production process.

Therefore, Mr. Yu must have told the soldiers on the operation that they must be careful when approaching the leader, and if they are not absolutely sure, they can give up part of the attack.

Gu Xunwei is most likely located near Li Xingxian's tent, so it would be extremely dangerous for Sang Mo to go there.

Fortunately, the other party has no idea that their whereabouts have been controlled, so the guarding in the camp should not be too strict now.

When Sang Mo and his companions arrived near the tent, they had already climbed up the tree.

After calculating the time, the medicinal powder that the Jingji Army put in the food should have taken effect by now, so they first checked the situation near the back.

Even the guards on duty fell asleep leaning against the tree trunk.

So they quietly moved forward again, and near Li Xingxian's military tent, they saw soldiers patrolling back and forth and heard faint voices.

Sang Mo gestured to them to hide for the time being, while he himself carefully moved to the tent next to Li Xingxian's military tent.

He just quietly lifted a corner and then quickly put it down. There was a bright light inside. It was the tent of Wang Zhuo and Li Junze.

He hid in a dark corner, looking around, trying to guess which tent Gu Xunwei might be imprisoned in, because apart from these two tents that looked a little special, most of the others were not much different.

Just when he was undecided and was about to check one by one, a woman suddenly walked out of a tent.

Without even taking a closer look, Sang Mo was already overjoyed, because that woman was none other than Gu Xunwei.

As soon as she walked out of the tent, the voice of the guard who was guarding her came out from behind, "Don't go too far, go quickly and come back soon."

Gu Xunwei agreed perfunctorily, but just as she was about to raise her foot, a patrolling soldier stopped her again.

"What are you doing?" He saw that it was a woman, so he spoke in a friendly tone.

"To reply to the general's question, I'm going to the toilet." After Gu Xunwei saluted, she replied in a calm tone.

"It's dangerous at night. Don't run around. Just follow this road and go behind the tree in front. There are wolves in the forest."

The soldier kindly reminded her and pointed her in a direction.

Gu Xunwei nodded, thanked him, and then walked in the direction of his finger.

They were really not worried that Gu Xunwei would run away, because let alone at night, even during the day, it would be difficult for a weak woman like her to have the courage to run away.

Gu Xunwei naturally knew what they were thinking. Now even the rope on her hands had been untied by the guard, and he also felt at ease to take the two oriental pearls slightly smaller than quail eggs inlaid on Gu Xunwei's embroidered shoes as a reward.

Unfortunately, they were all wrong. Gu Xunwei had already made up her mind. Even if she might get lost, encounter wild beasts, or freeze to death, she would still choose to escape.

After all, she didn't want to restrict Li Junhao's actions because of her appearance in Li Junze's camp.

So she went behind the big tree and waited for a while. When she turned around, she found that the patrolling soldier was still waiting for her to go back. In this case, if she didn't go back, she would be discovered by them soon.

She was a little anxious. How could she meet such a conscientious person? Just when she was thinking about going out to get him away, suddenly a big hand stretched out from behind her and covered her mouth tightly.

She was about to reach out to scratch the big hand in fear, when she heard a familiar voice in her ear, "Ms. Gu, don't be afraid, it's me."

It was Sang Mo. The voice actually belonged to Sang Mo.

At this moment, all of Gu Xunwei's panic disappeared, leaving only excitement.

She gently patted the back of her hand that was covering her mouth, and Sang Mo quickly withdrew her hand.

"Chief Sang, why are you here? His Highness hasn't come yet, has He?" she asked nervously. This place is located in the heart of the entire army, and it would be too dangerous for His Highness to come here.
