Helian Hao finally lost his patience and kicked Zhou Meng's shoulder with his raised foot. He exerted force and roared, "Get out!"

Zhou Meng didn't dare to resist and rolled backwards, relieving the force applied by Helian Hao. He was not seriously injured, but he didn't dare to move forward.

"Uncle Chang" is the name that Helian Hao has been calling Gu Shixin since he was a child. He is a prince, and the old gatekeeper has long forbidden him to call him that, not to mention that he is the emperor now, but he insists on calling him that.

When Uncle Chang saw that the young master had issued a death order and asked his family members to take the silver and leave the general's mansion, he felt something was wrong. However, the young master did not take anything with him, so he just thought that the young master was going out to do something. He did not expect that the young master would leave Beijing overnight and never come back.

Now, after hearing what the emperor said, I am sure that the young master is really gone, or he left because the emperor was angry with him.

He thought hard for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "The young master said to General Luo: Go out of the north gate before the city gate is closed."

After leaving the north gate, Gu Shixin headed north.

The northern border was in turmoil. Gu Shixin had talked to him about it before and wanted to ask for orders to garrison the northern border. At that time, he told Gu Shixin to stay with him and he would consider sending someone else.

Now that I've hurt his heart, he actually wants to guard the northern border for me?!

If there is anyone in this world who has the world in his heart and does not seek imperial power, it must be his Gu Shixin!

He actually said something like that. Gu Shixin was heartbroken and left so decisively, yet he was still thinking about himself...

The more Helian Hao thought about it, the more regretful he became. He raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.

Everyone present was terrified and fell to their knees.

Helian Hao suddenly stood up and said, "Leave the city and give chase!"

Uncle Chang was about to stand up when Helian Hao turned back and warned him, "I will definitely bring the person back. Uncle Chang, you don't have to tell Qingqing."

Uncle Chang quickly responded, "I understand, I won't disturb the young lady."

Gu Qingqing, Gu Shixin's sister, had always been in poor health and was also a worried person. Helian Hao was afraid that she would get sick again. Even if he could get Gu Shixin back, it would be difficult for him to explain to others.

At the same time, the sound of horses neighing came from outside the general's palace. Zhou Meng heard the neigh of his own horse among them and knew that it was the fourth brother who brought all the horses.

Zhou Meng put his fingers in his mouth and blew a short, powerful whistle, and the horses outside quieted down.

All this did not slow down Helian Hao's pace at all. He was about to leave Gu Shixin's yard in one more step.

Zhou Meng rushed over and hugged Helian Hao's legs. "Master, you can't keep riding like this for long. If you get hurt, I will risk my life to carry you back to the palace."

Although the emperor was wearing a robe at this time, he was not wearing any outer hakama underneath. When he was riding on a horse, the saddle would have rubbed the inside of his thighs in less than an incense stick of time.

Helian Hao thought this man was too annoying, and no one could stop him from chasing Gu Shixin. He put his hand on Zhou Meng's neck, but Zhou Meng didn't hesitate at all, and looked like he was determined to hold Helian Hao until death and not let go.

Zhou You, the second-in-command among the secret guards, quickly interrupted and said in a low voice, "Protect me from getting hurt. This is the death order given to me by General Wang."

When he heard the word "General Wang", Helian Hao thought of the people in front of him. They were the secret guards trained for him by Gu Shixin, and the strength in his hands was released immediately.

Yes, these secret guards were given to him by Gu Shixin.

He suddenly understood. No wonder the little palace maid said, "You will never find him until you die, and sending secret guards will be of no use." How could Gu Shixin not know the secret guards' methods and tactics?

Even when they left the palace, they called him "Master" - small details like these were already decided by Gu Shixin for them.

Helian Hao was so distracted that he subconsciously cooperated with Zhou Meng to put on the outer hakama.

Zhou Meng wiped his sweat. Even the commander of the secret guards didn't even bother to let the emperor wear an outer hakama. It turned out that the emperor was the most difficult person to deal with in the world.

This time, without General Wang, Eunuch Su, and Eunuch Yu, can this group of secret guards handle this gentleman? Zhou Meng secretly sweated.

Helian Hao rode his horses all the way with his secret guards. The secret guards sent a signal in advance before leaving the city gate. When the gate guards saw that they were people coming out of the palace on urgent errands, they opened the gate to a gap as wide as two people before the horses arrived, allowing the group to leave the capital.

After leaving the city, Helian Hao took advantage of the night and galloped towards the north.

After listening to what Uncle Chang said, he also understood why Gu Shixin left the north gate. He was concerned about the northern border.

The road to the northern border is only one way when you leave the city gate, but the further you go, the more forks there are.

He galloped on his horse all the way, his mind constantly speculating: Which path will Gu Shixin take?

The straight road is the fastest road the army can take, and it is also the road Gu Shixin is most familiar with.

But if one person rides a horse, they can take a small road and reach the northern border faster. After all, winter is about to come in the northern border, and Gu Shixin should reach Suiyuan City before the heavy snow blocks the road.

No, the maid said he was not in good health. Could he ride such a long distance on horseback? Could he be driving a carriage?

By the way, Uncle Chang said that Gu Shixin ordered General Luo to "go out of the north gate". If he was riding a horse, he would just walk in front and there was no need to order Luo Yu.

So he was still sitting in the carriage.

How healthy is he to ride in a carriage?

Helian Hao's heart ached again at the thought. He wanted to catch up with Gu Shixin right now, without saying anything. He just wanted to tell Gu Shixin that he shouldn't have doubted him and he knew he was wrong.

Since Gu Shixin was riding in a carriage, it would definitely take the official road and the straight road.

If you take the small road, there are many places where the carriage cannot pass.

The moon, which had just risen at this time, was hanging in the sky as a nearly full crescent. Although the group didn't have time to light torches, they could still see the road clearly. However, there were clouds that blocked the moonlight from time to time, so they could only rely on experience when it got dark.

When they reached the intersection, Helian Hao pointed to the official road without hesitation: "This way."

It was not until this time, when they had chased the enemy ten miles out of the city, that Helian Hao finally sorted out his thoughts.

He had previously doubted what the palace maid said. Even though he had doubts, the reason he chased her out was that he could not allow what the palace maid said to have even a ten-thousandth of possibility.

He was afraid that he could not afford to lose Gu Shixin.

People can go against him while they are alive, and even fight with him, but he cannot die. He cannot be left alone to guard this country.

He won't be able to bear it, and he will let it go regardless of everything.

He didn't have time to wait until the next day to verify the authenticity. He was afraid that the entire palace would not be enough for him to smash that night.

He couldn't explain it clearly, but he had a sense of déjà vu. He felt as if he had experienced what the palace maid said once before. It was so terrible!

Helian Hao didn't know whether he was drunk or had really experienced it, but he heard Luo Yu's heart-wrenching cry of "General".
