Jun Xiuhuan’s destination was the second Fenghuo Camp.
Gu Jiao spread out the map, with Xiao Hen’s annotations being very clear and straightforward.
Gu Jiao pointed at the cinnabar route and said, "Under normal circumstances, Jun Xiuhuan would take this path as it’s fairly flat and broad. He should have reached this birch forest by now. Actually, there’s a small path that can bypass it, but it requires crossing a river."
Gu Changqing looked up at the sky and said, "It hasn’t rained these past few days; the river should not be too rapid to cross."
The two took a detour and entered the birch forest, successfully blocking Jun Xiuhuan’s way forward.
It was still Gu Changqing who confronted him.
Gu Changqing blocked Jun Xiuhuan’s path and coldly said, "Hand over your bamboo tube."
Jun Xiuhuan was a tall and slender young man with the scholarly aura common to literati of the realm. If one hadn’t seen his combat prowess, they would hardly take him for a master at first glance.
But Gu Changqing and Gu Jiao knew well, anyone who had made it this far wasn’t merely relying on luck.
Jun Xiuhuan looked at Gu Changqing before him without much surprise. He glanced at a large tree nearby and asked, "Is it you who wants it, or that person?"
Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow.
Uh, has she been found out?
Well done, Jun Xiuhuan.
Gu Changqing blandly said, "What this person, that person? Less nonsense, hand it over!"
"I will not give the bamboo tube to you." Jun Xiuhuan’s eyes coolly turned towards Gu Jiao’s direction, "If you want it, come and get it yourself!"
Is he provoking her?
Gu Jiao peeked from behind the big tree at Jun Xiuhuan, who gave her an indescribable feeling, as if he had seen through all her disguises.
In that case, there was no need to continue hiding.
Gu Jiao rode out boldly from behind the big tree on Black Wind King, coming to a stop beside Gu Changqing.
Her gaze fell on Jun Xiuhuan’s young and handsome face: "I’ll take it then."
She had observed Jun Xiuhuan in the military camp and believed that Jun Xiuhuan had also observed her, but this was the first time they truly faced each other.
Seeing her stand with "the Han Family person," not a hint of surprise flashed in Jun Xiuhuan’s eyes.
So, had Jun Xiuhuan known from the start that she was in league with "Han Zeyun"?
How did he figure it out?
"I’ll fight you for it," Gu Jiao said.
