"This princess does not know either. So it turns out that the way people of the Dongyuan Region treat their guests is to use their sabre, halberd, spear, and other weapons. However, master is unable to avoid them."
"My prince isn't in the manor, how can I welcome him?"
"I heard that when Xiao Yixiu returned from the northern border battle, he was sick all year round and didn't participate in the political debate. Where was he when he wasn't in the palace?"
Gu Qingli swept a glance at her and said, "Princess, you're not planning on talking to this wangfei in such a tense conversation, are you?" Suifeng, order your subordinate to prepare some tea, and invite the princess into the room so that you do not say that we, the people of Dongyuan City, do not treat our guests badly. "
She turned around and began to lead the way in a spiraling arc, no longer looking at Helian Xiangrong.
Helian Shuang let out a heavy snort and followed a few steps behind her. Suddenly, without any warning, she launched a sneak attack with her palm, her fingertips brushing Gu Qing Li's back.
Gu Qingli was prepared for this long ago. She raised her hand without looking back, and the silver needle on her fingertip cut through Helian Chenghui's veins, causing her entire arm to go numb. She couldn't help but droop down.
Helian Shuang was both shocked and furious. She said angrily, "Are you the main wife of Xiaoyu Xiu or the secondary wife?"
"This wangfei was hired by him in three different ways and was welcomed through the main entrance. Princess, what can I do for you?"
Helian Shuang's face suddenly turned pale. The next time they met on the battlefield, Jun Wu Yi had a wife and his concubine was on her own.
She couldn't help but slow down as the hatred in her heart increased. It had been five years. From an insensible little girl to a slim and graceful young girl, she had trekked thousands of miles to find him. He had actually married someone else!
Even in the Northern Chu Imperial Palace, she relied on the indulgence of her royal father, her mother's concubine, and she had always been free and unrestrained. Even Helian Yu Ping had always been kind to her, and according to her thinking, as long as she wanted it, it was natural that she could not give it to anyone else.
Things were like this, and people were the same. In her opinion, there was no right or wrong, but there was no right or wrong.
"You think you are worthy of him?" Helian Xianzi sneered. With a flick of her sword, the sword sheath embedded with gold and jade was unsheathed. She had her bodyguards to catch it. She straightened her sword and thrust it towards Gu Qing Li.
Gu Qingli didn't like Helian Lie's arrogance and rudeness, but she knew that this matter was related to the relationship between the two countries. There was no need to be too fussy about an envoy from another country, and after all, she couldn't stay long either.
However, Helian Shuang was actually someone who kicked her nose in the face. He actually didn't want to make a move on her. Gu Qing gave a cold laugh, thinking that this princess was probably too used to knowing the limits of the heavens and really thought of him as an expert that was used to the martial arts world.
She didn't hold back and turned around to face him, using a series of crafty moves.
Gu Qing Li had lost to the ancient martial arts cultivators because she had not immersed herself in it long enough and her internal Qi had been lacking, but she had won in a tricky way. In her previous life, she was a gold medal killer and had learned all sorts of practical and convenient ways to kill people.
After all, Helian Shuang was a princess of a noble family, and her talent was not high. She had never really practiced any martial arts, and her moves were usually useful against other people, but when she truly met a master, she was still inferior.
When they heard about the professor and princess, they couldn't help but take a few steps back. Her instructors mostly consisted of the commanders of the imperial guards, and because they were well-received, they often acted humbly, making her feel as if she was the number one female general of the Northern Chu. Therefore, at the age of thirteen, he had arrogantly disguised himself as a man, sneaking into Helian Yu's army and going to the real battlefield.
In that battlefield of life and death that was stained with blood and sand, she had witnessed a true war. For the first time in her life, she couldn't help but feel admiration and yearn for him.
However, during that war, she was protected by many royal experts. Once she was defeated, all she had to do was protect her and run away, not giving her much experience against her enemies.
When they were in actual combat, Helian Peng had never seen a killing move like Gu Qing Li's. He only felt that his opponent was inferior to him, but was able to force him to retreat step by step, unable to fully display his abilities.
In terms of skill, she was perhaps even slightly stronger than Princess Lan Xun. However, her sword was too short and her whip was too long. When Gu Qingli had been entangled with Princess Lan Xun, it was only because her whip dance had cut through the wind, so she could not get close to her body.
Helian Peng, however, was unable to swing the sword as easily and as freely as a whip. On the contrary, because of the sharpness and heaviness of the sword, the longer he swung, the more strenuous he felt.
Gu Qingli was extremely experienced, and she immediately noticed that her weapon was not in her hands. She inwardly laughed at her overestimation of her own strength, and knew that she must forge such a luxurious and sharp heavy sword to be the most powerful, but it was not suitable for a weak girl.
Gu Qing Li shook her wide sleeve, and used it as a weapon to attack her, bringing with it a gust of wind, which also contained her killing intent.
As Helian Chui struggled, he caught a glimpse of a cold light flashing through the shadow of the sleeveless sleeve. He immediately became apprehensive, but when he became aware of it, he discovered that Gu Qingli had pulled out a dagger from the bottom of her sleeve, intersecting with her longsword from time to time.
Helian Peng did not understand the essence of the matter, but Gu Qingli understood that a heavy sword was not easy to grasp. However, Helian Peng always sought sharpness, and if the blade's edge was too thin and sharp, it would be easy to be defeated. Therefore, she only used the short blade of her dagger to attack Helian Hua's blade. Usually, she would immediately retreat with a single strike to prevent herself from being broken by a sharp and heavy blow.
After several dozen clangs, the tip of the heavy sword, which seemed to be glimmering with cold light, became covered with many tiny blades.
Naturally, the edge of Gu Qingli's blade was even heavier, but because she had retreated the moment she touched it, the dagger was still largely intact. Because the dagger was light and easy to use, even though the edge was no longer usable, it was not as taxing as Helian Tun's. Furthermore, the dagger could no longer be used to intimidate people with its sharp edges, causing sweat to appear on their forehead.
Gu Qingli sneered in her heart as she shot out a hidden attack. The wind on her finger was like silk, repeatedly hitting Helian Lie's hidden acupoints, causing her arms, waist, and joints to tingle. And this was after all, when she had unprepared herself and had not brought the silver needle with her. Otherwise, she would have knocked out Helian Xiufeng long ago.
Helian Shuang's female captain looked anxious. She wanted to step forward to intervene, but her vision blurred. The shadow guards from the Mo King Manor appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them like ghosts, preventing her from moving forward.
In the midst of the free-for-all, they heard someone clap his hands in approval, as if he was enjoying the show.
Just as Gu Qingli was about to use her final move to defeat Helian Xiufeng, the black Qi on her fingertips flashed and then retreated. She could sense that the Gu desire in her body was not good for Helian Peng. She hurriedly withdrew her attack, but in the end, it was too late. The Gu worm could not cover her ears as it lightly stung Helian Peng.
It was strange, however, that Helian Xiufeng only felt a slight stabbing pain in his body before he could no longer feel anything, nor did he feel any symptoms of poisoning.
Gu Qingli wasn't very clear about this Gu worm's habits. She only guessed that perhaps she didn't have the intention to kill, and the Gu worm wouldn't use its killing move either. However, this foreign princess came to her doorstep to be rude to him. With her personality, how could she be willing to give in?
Helian Peng almost fainted from the pain. He inhaled a cold breath and cried out. He used his intact finger to point at Gu Qingli and gnashed his teeth, "Capture that bitch and chop her into pieces!"
Gu Qingli had already retreated when she heard someone clapping her hands. She raised her head and saw a young man standing opposite the flower bed in front of the Moon Ripple Pavilion. Behind him were numerous guards, standing in a neat and respectful manner.
