Chapter 170 Gu Zaili caught up with Duke Xiangxi and spent several days trying to persuade him.
The old Duke's attitude was only slightly relaxed.
According to what Gu Zaili said, Ji Lan was indeed unworthy of the position of emperor because he mutilated his siblings and changed the imperial edict privately.
But the soil in Xiangxi is fertile and the people are kind.
What's wrong with living a life like a paradise?
Besides, his ancestors honored the princess.
Glory and family wealth have been passed down from generation to generation.
Although the family background is becoming more and more prominent, the blood relationship with the royal family is getting further and further away.
Why bother to go through this muddy water?
These were the old Duke's original thoughts, but after a few days of persuasion by Gu Zaili, his thoughts became slightly loosened.
But at this time, the imperial edict to kill the rebels arrived in the palace.
At night, the old man and his carriage were passing through the checkpoint at night when they were suddenly intercepted.
The soldiers called each one a "traitor" and "killed without mercy".
The old man's face changed again and again.
Gu Zaili, who was sleeping in the carriage, was awakened.
He jumped out of the carriage and looked at the soldiers who were surrounding the city.
He couldn't help but be shocked.
Could it be that something happened to my father who is far away in Beijing?
The old man wanted to tell the difference, but the soldiers didn't give him a chance and shot arrows at random.
The horse is frightened and the servant is injured.
The old Duke understood this situation, and if he escaped, he would really be accused of treason, but the dense arrows did not give him a chance to explain, and he was not willing to die in such a confused manner to prove his purpose.
While running away, Gu Zaili's face turned gloomy and he said, "I was the one who caused the Duke's family to suffer."
The old Duke sat on the horse, looked back at the pursuing soldiers, waved his hands and said: "The matter is over, let's leave here first."
Gu Zaili beat his horse and galloped away, but he was worried in his heart.
She was worried about her family members who were far away in the capital.
If something had not happened in the capital, why would His Majesty send a letter overnight to intercept and strangle them?
In the panic and pursuit, she forced herself to calm down and told her father that he had seen many strong winds and waves, so he must be prepared, and everyone would be prepared.
Good.
A sharp arrow roared towards him.
"Be careful."
Rong Yuanyou jumped from the horse he was sitting on, jumped on the horse Gu Zaili was riding, and leaned down on the back of Gu Zaili's head.
The arrow grazed his arm, tore through the fabric and left a trail of blood.
Gu Zaili took a look at the wound on Rong Yuanyou's arm, which was only a very shallow one.
He quickly bent down and picked up the bow and arrow hanging next to the saddle, nocked the bow, turned around, and whizzed.
Three arrows were fired in unison, grazing Rong Yuanyou's face.
Rong Yuanyou watched Gu Zaili shoot an arrow with one eye narrowed at close range, and was stunned for a while.
Gu Zaili looked at Rong Yuanyou and said, "Get back on your own horse.
They can't run fast together."
"Oh, oh" Rong Yuanyou's throat rolled slightly, and he looked away in embarrassment.
He turned sideways, took the reins of the horse he was riding on before, and stepped over.
Returning to his horse, he suddenly felt sad.
Mrs.
Rong in front turned around, looked at Gu Zaili with surprise, and asked, "Miss Gu is good at archery.
She must have practiced it for a few years."
"Driving" Gu Zaili hit the horse, chased after him, and said, "I learned riding and shooting from my father since I was a child."

Duke Xiangxi, who was protected by his personal guards, looked at Gu Zaili and pondered for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said: "Little girl, you don't want to borrow troops from me.
If you become my grandson-in-law, I will lend you troops
.
"
Gu Zaili was stunned.
Rong Yuanyou was also stunned.
He immediately reacted and said urgently: "Grandpa, don't do this."
Gu Zaili smiled brightly and said solemnly: "Old Duke, before tonight, I tried my best to convince you.
After tonight, you have become a rebel recognized by His Majesty.
You have already boarded this thief ship.
Juniors don't have to.
I beg you to borrow troops from me again."
The old Duke laughed loudly, pointed at Gu Zaili and shook his head.
He said nothing and hurried forward.
Mrs.
Rong said: "Father is joking, don't take it seriously."
Rong Yuanyou's father sighed at the side and said with a smile: "Yuanyou, the whole family has tried every means to get you a wife, so you can't be more proud and take your wife home yourself."
Rong Yuanyou's face stiffened, a little embarrassed.
After a while, he rode closer to Gu Zaili and said calmly: "Don't worry.
If you don't want to marry me, no one will force you.
Don't take the words of your grandfather and father seriously.
The two elders have such a temperament that they often make jokes."
"Don't worry.
If I don't want to get married, no one can force me."
Gu Zaili glanced at Rong Yuanyou and thought that the Rong family was really interesting.
They were still joking when they were chasing each other with secret arrows.
Running away on horseback, the wind blew against his face, and the cold wind hit his face, knocking him out of his mind.
Gu Zaili no longer thought about his family, but about the situation in Beijing.
Fortunately for my father, Tao and his brother suffered a lot last winter, but they are in danger again this time.
Wen Jingshan's whereabouts were exposed.
She is now weak and doesn't know if she is in danger.
If Wen Jingshan is exposed, what happens to my sister?
Will she be implicated as well?
That unreliable Ji Zhao might be able to protect his sister The one who can't be protected is still asleep.
Gu Jianli leaned against Ji Wujing and dozed off.
The pain all over her body, the difficult environment, and her worry kept her awake.
She heard Changfeng's footsteps coming in a little hastily, so she immediately opened her eyes and sat up.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Jianli asked.
"I saw the torch.
It should be that the imperial guards searching the mountain are not far from here.
We can't hide here anymore, we have to leave immediately."
Changfeng said, waking up everyone in the cave.
No one was asleep, not even the two children Ji Xinglan and Ji Xingluo.
Everyone woke up when Changfeng and Gu Jianli were talking.

Everything had been packed before going to bed, and there was no need to pack it up again.
In just a moment, everyone walked out of the cave and hurried to the depths of the mountain.
The night passed, and it was the darkest time before dawn.
There were no stars or moon in the sky, and everyone was walking on the rugged mountain road.
The untrodden mountain road is buried in bushes and is very difficult to navigate.
In order to conceal his whereabouts, Changfeng, who was walking at the front, did not dare to use his knife to clear the way.
Chang Lin, who was walking at the back, tried his best to cover up the traces of everyone's passing.
Gu Jianli let out a "huh" sound and stepped on the air.
He stumbled on a dry vine, but luckily, he was helped by Qian Shun and did not fall down.
"Aniang" Ji Xinglan flattened her mouth and almost cried.
Her eyes were red, but she didn't dare cry.
She already knew that Aniang was lying to her, and this was not a hide-and-seek game.
She can't cry or cause trouble to the adults.
She obediently buried her face in Ji Xia's arms, trying not to cry.
Not long after, Qian Ping said "Ouch", but he really missed the mark and fell down.
She was holding Ji Xingluo in her arms.
When she fell, she tilted her body to protect Ji Xingluo from being bumped by Ji Xingluo in her arms.
Qian'an quickly took Ji Xingluo from her arms.
"Xian Ping, are you hurt?"
Gu Jianli asked hurriedly.
"My ankle hurts a bit."
Qian Ping touched his ankle and stood up.
"It's okay.
It's just a knock.
No fracture or sprain.
Madam, don't worry.
Let's go quickly."
Nearly half an hour later, Changfeng Fei stood on a tall tree, inspecting Zhui Ming behind, and his heart sank.
The people who were chasing them were all well-trained forest guards, but most of their group were women and children.
It would only be a matter of time before they were caught up.
He informed Gu Jianli of the situation.
Gu Jianli turned sideways and looked at Ji Wujing on Changsheng's back.
He pondered for a moment and said, "In this situation, if we are caught up, none of us will survive.
Otherwise, we should separate."
When they left the mansion, some disciples from the Xuanjing Sect and other servants in the mansion had already fled in different directions.
But now, Gu Jianli separated the group of them again.
They escaped in three ways.
Gu Jianli still asked Nanny Lin and Ji Xia to take care of Ji Xinglan and gave Changsheng to him.
Let Li Zi and Xiao He take care of Wen Jingshan, and separate Chang Lin for protection.
Among the remaining people, Changfeng carried Ji Wujing on his back, Qianping and Qianan took care of Ji Xingluo, and Qianshun helped Gu Jianli.
The remaining people should have been divided into two groups, but they couldn't tell the difference between the men.
"Auntie" Ji Xinglan's eyes were red and she was trying hard to hold back her tears.
Gu Jianli hugged her gently and coaxed her gently: "Lan Lan, be obedient and remember what A Niang told you.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
Wait for one daybreak, and another daybreak, and the game will be over."

Ji Xinglan nodded vigorously, obediently and snuggled into Ji Xia's arms obediently.
The further you go into the mountains, the harder it is to walk, the old snow is behind you, and the cold wind is biting.
Gu Jianli put his hand on Ji Wujing's wrist and walked forward for an unknown amount of time.
When she raised her head again, she realized that it was dawn.
It’s the nineteenth of the twelfth lunar month.
Tomorrow, just stay up one more day.
Although she knew that the Imperial Guards had a large number of people, and no matter how powerful they were, they could not defeat ten thousand by one, she still felt that as long as Ji Wujing woke up, she would be safe.
At noon, several people stopped briefly to drink some water and eat some dry food.
When he was about to set off again, Qian Ping didn't move.
She pinched her ankle and said with a choked voice, "Madam, I don't seem to be able to walk."
Gu Jianli opened his mouth, but suddenly felt unable to speak.
There were tears in Qian Ping's eyes, and he tried his best to smile, and said: "Just now I was able to move forward with all my strength, but now I am sitting here, unable to get up and continue walking.
Madam, please leave me alone, I will also work with Sister Ji Xia and the others.
Let’s go separately like that.”
Gu Jianli hesitated for a moment, and then decided with heart: "Okay, let's separate.
But, Qian'an, are you willing to accompany Qian Ping in these wild mountains?
No matter how we separate, we can't be alone."
"But the young master still needs it."
Qian Ping was stunned.
Gu Jianli interrupted her: "There is also me and Yushun, you don't have to worry.
It's decided."
"Thank you, madam" Qian'an wiped her tears.
Jian Ping and Jian An grew up together.
At that moment, Jian An was really worried that Jian Ping would be treated as an outcast.
Qian'an is happy to be with Qian Ping, even if she dies with her good sisters.
Gu Jianli squatted down to hug Ji Xingluo.
Ji Xinglu pushed her hand away and said arrogantly: "I don't need you to hold me, I can walk by myself."
Gu Jianli knew that Ji Xingluo was strong, so he didn't insist.
He just said, "Okay, but you have to let me hold your hand.
And when I or Qian Shun hold you later, you can't lose your temper."
Ji Xinglu awkwardly handed his hand to Gu Jianli.
He opened his legs vigorously and strode forward, turning his head to look at Gu Jianli's hand holding his. gd1806102:
