The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1579

Chapter 1579: 763 Overwhelming! (Second Update)_2

And once Mu Qingchen deviated from this direction, Taoist priest Qingchen would stop following him.

Gu Changqing sheathed his sword, "I won’t harm you, eliminate yourself."

Giving back the bamboo tube was impossible; that would expose the hidden task.

Gu Changqing returned to his horse, and after taking a big detour, he arrived back at Gu Jiao’s position, by which time Mu Qingchen had already ridden off.

"Shall we look for Taoist priest Qingchen next?" Gu Changqing asked.

Gu Jiao thought for a moment, "Taoist priest Qingchen is too difficult to deal with; let’s find Lord Han and Jun Xiuhuan first to form an ally."

"Alright," Gu Changqing agreed without hesitation.

He never considered himself the main player in this selection; he respected his sister’s every decision and was willing to pay any price for it.

The two followed the shortcut on the map and arrived at the ambush location of the second Fenghuo Camp—Huangshu Slope.

At this time, the place hadn’t been overtaken by the cavalry, and the two of them appeared and quickly eliminated the enemy camp.

These soldiers were NPCs of the Exam Site, not real enemies; Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing were measured in their attacks, not hurting anyone, just tying them up.

Afterwards, the two began a long wait.

"Who do you think will come, Jun Xiuhuan or Lord Han?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Whom do you hope it will be?" Gu Changqing asked.

"Lord Han," Gu Jiao said.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

A series of urgent hoofbeats approached; the rider was indeed Lord Han!

Gu Jiao quickly hid with Blackwind King.

When Lord Han arrived at the scene on horseback, he surveyed the destroyed temporary camp and then eyed Gu Changqing atop his steed, frowning, he asked, "What happened here?"

Gu Changqing said, "I am acting on His Highness the Crown Prince’s orders to assist Lord Han in passing this stage. I saw that Lord Han was heading southeast, so I planned to take a shortcut to meet with Lord Han, only to hear fighting halfway and thus came to take a look."

"What is your task?" asked Lord Han.

Gu Changqing tossed his bamboo tube to him.

Lord Han opened Gu Changqing’s bamboo tube. The contents were almost similar to his own, the difference being Gu Changqing was to raid Biyue Lake and head to the first Fenghuo Camp.

Gu Changqing said unflinchingly, "I guess this selection is about who can deliver the secret letter to the designated camp first. Taoist priest Qingchen’s horse can’t outrun Lord Han’s, so he had to snatch Lord Han’s secret letter, making it impossible for Lord Han to complete the task."
