The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

Chapter 252 Get rid of tracking

In a vast, deep and quiet forest, the sun was struggling to penetrate the dense branches and leaves, and scattered on the ground in patches. The princess and her loyal followers were walking forward in a hurry and cautious pace. Their breathing was a little rapid, and their expressions were full of tension and anxiety. The mysterious organization's ghostly pursuit was like a heavy haze, always shrouding their hearts, making their every step full of unknown dangers and variables.

The princess's face, originally beautiful and full of noble temperament, was now full of determination and courage. She knew that she was not only responsible for her own safety, but also for the hope and future of the entire country. Her bright eyes were shining with a determined light. She must not fall into the enemy's trap easily. This was the strongest belief in her heart.

The followers around her all had solemn expressions, their hands holding their weapons trembling slightly due to nervousness. These usually loyal warriors now revealed fearless determination in their eyes. They surrounded the princess tightly, like a solid wall, ready to give everything to protect the princess, even their own precious lives.

"Princess, we must find a way to get rid of these guys as soon as possible, otherwise our situation will become more and more dangerous." An experienced and resolute attendant said in a low voice, his tone full of anxiety and worry. The princess nodded slightly, her silky eyebrows slightly frowned, and fell into a brief contemplation.

"We will change our clothes so that the enemy can hardly recognize us." The princess's voice was clear and decisive, breaking the brief silence. The attendants immediately took action and quickly took out the civilian clothes that they had carefully prepared in advance from their bags. The princess gracefully took off her gorgeous dress, and the exquisite silk and dazzling gemstone decorations disappeared in an instant. She changed into a simple coarse cloth dress and carefully hid her long golden hair that was as soft and shiny as a waterfall under a tattered headscarf. The princess, who was originally noble and elegant, now looked like an ordinary village girl. The attendants also changed their clothes one after another. They took off the gorgeous clothes that symbolized their status and put on simple cloth clothes. In an instant, this originally eye-catching royal team transformed into a group of inconspicuous civilians.

But simply changing clothes was not enough. They knew the enemy's cunning and sharpness. The princess's intelligent eyes were fixed on the map in her hand, carefully studying the surrounding terrain. "We can't take the main road, it's too easy to be discovered there. We have to go through this forest and go around the mountain trails." The princess's finger gently slid across the map, pointing out the direction for everyone. Although her voice was soft, it was full of unquestionable determination.

So, they resolutely left the originally flat and wide road and stepped into the deep and mysterious forest. The forest was filled with thick fog, and the humid air seemed to be able to squeeze out water. The ground under their feet was muddy, and the soft soil and rotten leaves made every step extremely difficult. The thorns mercilessly tore their clothes, leaving long and thin cuts; the sharp branches scratched their cheeks from time to time, and the stinging feeling made people irritated. But they did not retreat at all, and everyone gritted their teeth and endured it all silently.

In order to further confuse the enemy, the princess came up with a clever plan. "We will divide into several groups and create different footprints and traces to make the enemy unable to figure out where we are going." The followers did not hesitate to follow the princess's instructions and dispersed, leaving seemingly chaotic footprints and broken branches in different directions. Some deliberately left wet footprints by the stream, as if they had just waded through the water; some created obvious traces of walking in the bushes, making people mistakenly think that they had passed by here.

The mysterious organization's trackers soon arrived at the place where they had stopped before. Looking at the chaotic and intricate traces on the ground, they fell into deep confusion. "What is going on? Where did they go?" The trackers looked at each other, at a loss. They turned around in circles, trying to find a clue from these chaotic clues, but in the end they found nothing.

The princess and her followers took advantage of the chaos in the enemy's army and quickened their pace. They moved forward in the forest with difficulty, each step with firm determination. Sweat rolled down their foreheads like rain, soaking their clothes and sticking to their backs. Fatigue was like an invisible demon, eroding their bodies and wills bit by bit, but the faith in their hearts was like a flame that never went out, supporting them to keep moving forward.

However, although this series of carefully planned strategies successfully confused the enemy, it also delayed them a lot of precious time. The originally planned time was disrupted, and every passing minute and every second made them full of anxiety.

"Princess, we have wasted too much time. If we can't reach our destination as soon as possible, we may miss important clues and opportunities." An attendant said worriedly, with a hint of urgency and helplessness in his voice.

The princess bit her lip, her eyes revealing great determination. "We can't give up. We must speed up no matter what." Her words were like a magic needle that instantly calmed the panicked hearts of her followers.

They ran desperately along the rugged mountain road, jumped over the rushing stream, the cold stream water splashed their trouser legs; climbed the steep hillside, the sharp rocks cut their palms. Their breathing became heavy and rapid, and their hearts and lungs seemed to burst, but they still did not stop.

Finally, when the sun was about to set and a gorgeous sunset glow appeared on the horizon, they walked out of the daunting forest and came to an open plain.

The princess and her followers were exhausted, their legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every step they took required great perseverance. But they knew they couldn't stop.

The princess looked into the distance and encouraged herself secretly in her heart: "Hold on a little longer, we will definitely succeed."

They supported each other and continued to move towards their goal. Night fell quietly, and the stars were like bright gems inlaid on the vast sky. The princess and her entourage temporarily stopped their tired steps in a hidden cave.

In the cave, they sat together and ate their dry food in silence. The dry food was difficult to chew in their mouths, but they had no complaints.

“Princess, thanks to your wisdom and strategy, we were able to escape the enemy’s pursuit.” An attendant said with emotion, his eyes full of admiration.

The princess smiled slightly, her eyes full of gratitude: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. As long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

After resting in the cave for a few hours, they set out on their journey again in the dawn. The light of dawn shone on them, illuminating their way forward. They knew that there were many unknown challenges waiting for them, but they were ready. For justice and mission, they would move forward bravely and never retreat.

When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled warmly on the earth, the princess and her entourage had already walked a long way. Their figures appeared firm and small in the golden light, but full of infinite power.

"Everyone, work harder and we will reach our destination soon." The princess encouraged everyone, her voice full of hope.

The followers responded in unison, their voices echoing across the empty wilderness, as if declaring war on fate.

After several hours of arduous journey, they finally saw a small town ahead. There were blurred words engraved on the stone tablet at the entrance of the town, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

The princess stopped and panted slightly before saying, "Let's rest in the town first, replenish our supplies, and then continue on our way."

The entourage nodded, and they walked into the town, trying not to attract other people's attention. At the market in the town, the princess and her entourage exchanged their few possessions for food and water.

"Princess, I always feel like someone is watching us." A careful attendant said vigilantly.

The princess' heart tightened, but she remained calm: "Everyone, be careful and don't reveal any flaws."

Just as they were about to leave the town, a group of strangers suddenly surrounded them.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" a burly man asked loudly.

The princess thought to herself that something was wrong, but she still replied calmly: "We are just travelers passing by and want to go to the city ahead."

"Travelers? I don't think you are ordinary travelers." The man looked them up and down with sharp eyes.

The princess' palms began to sweat, but she still pretended to be calm: "We are really just travelers, please give us some convenience."

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, an old man came over.

"Let them go. They don't look like bad people." The old man's voice was weak but full of majesty.

The burly man hesitated for a moment, but finally gave way.

The princess and her entourage hurriedly left the town and continued on their journey.

"Princess, that was so dangerous just now." The followers said with lingering fear.

The princess sighed: "It seems that we can't let our guard down yet. The enemy may be everywhere."
