Gu Jinzhu trembled as she turned her head to see Gu Yingqing putting away the longbow. He pursed his lips tightly, his expression extremely cold. His black eyes were like a deep pond of cold water and there was an unprecedented murderous aura about him.

Her heart was beating very fast and she was panicking to the extreme. Mu Jing had somehow reached her and grabbed her by the waist as she shouted, "Let's go!"

She was muddleheaded as he led her forward. The surrounding people were in a mess as they cried out in alarm. Only then did she see a lot of men in black robes coming out of nowhere.

The crowd fled in all directions while screaming. The cold blade light was right in front of them. She could barely see how Gu Yiqing had done it. All she knew was that the man in black had fallen without exception.

Her legs were so weak that if not for Gu Yiqing holding her hand, she would have fallen to the ground long ago.

She stumbled over him, her hair falling out, her eyes red.

She suddenly thought of something and turned around to look at the carriage. She saw that the bloodstained clothes were tightly protecting Yun Xiang and Bi Yao. She was slightly relieved as she saw that the black-clothed people were coming towards them.

Although the man in black had suffered a great number of casualties, he was not afraid of death. He was vicious to the extreme.

Gu Yiqing's face was solemn. She suddenly jumped up with her in her arms, jumped up from the collapsed buildings, and ran out of the city.

The black-clothed man pursued her relentlessly. Gu Jinzhu was extremely afraid. Her heart was beating so fiercely that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her mouth. She tightly shut her eyes, not daring to look again.

After an unknown amount of time, there was no sound from her surroundings. She opened her eyes and realized that she was already in the middle of a dense forest. She did not know where she was.

Gu Yiqing had put her into a bush, but those black-clothed people were already nowhere to be seen. He looked around and said to her, "Wait here, don't run around!"

Gu Jinzhu looked at the blood stains on his body, which added to the malevolence of his handsome face. She couldn't help but nod as she watched him leave.

The surroundings were quiet. Birds were chirping and the leaves on top of their heads were intertwined. There was only light coming from them. The ground was slippery and muddy. There was a smell of rotting leaves.

She clutched at her chest, feeling her heart beating wildly. She was extremely afraid, and the way they had died just now had been reflected in her mind, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.

Gu Jinzhu was just a young miss who never stepped out of her room. When had she ever seen such a scene? For a moment, she was greatly provoked. Her head and face were still smeared with blood.

She was worried and scared at the same time. After who knows how long, the forest gradually became dark. Gu Yiqing still hadn't come back. She squatted down so hard that her legs were numb, but she didn't dare move a step.

Seeing the light getting dimmer and dimmer, and the shadows of the trees in the dense forest, her heart rose to her throat. She was worried and worried to the extreme. She didn't know what had happened to Yun Xiang and the others.

She slightly moved her numb legs. Just as she was hesitating whether she should go find him, she heard a sound in front of her. She was startled. Through the gaps in the grass, she saw a few masked men in black walking towards them.

She was frightened out of her wits. She held her breath tightly, not daring to make the slightest sound. She was afraid that they would see it. In just a breath's time, cold sweat had soaked her clothes.

Seeing that the black-clothed people were getting closer and closer, her body trembled like a sieve. She was wondering if she was going to die here. A hand came around from behind and covered her lips.

A buzzing sound resounded in her head. Her eyes were wide open, and she was about to scream and struggle out of instinct. A sturdy figure came up from behind and tightly held her. The familiar voice whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, it's me!"

Suddenly hearing Gu Yiqing's voice, Gu Jinzhu's heart relaxed and she instantly went limp.

Her chest heaved as her mind buzzed. She was truly too shocked. Luckily, Gu Yiqing had covered her mouth first, preventing her from making a sound.

Both of them looked in that direction. More than a dozen men in black were approaching them. They tapped the grass with their knives as they walked, carefully searching for something.

Gu Jinzhu was extremely nervous, but the feeling on her body was getting clearer and clearer. She could clearly feel that Gu Yingqing was sticking close to her, and the young man's body was sturdy and powerful. She could even feel his heartbeat.

His hand firmly covered her lips. It was scorching hot, dry, and carried a faint, cold fragrance. It was a scent that was common to his body, mixed with the bloody scent of grass.

Under the dim light, the majority of the man's face was submerged into darkness, but one could still make out his clear and elegant lines. His pitch-black eyebrows and his tall and straight nose, as well as his pair of thin lips, were tightly pressed together, carrying a cold and resolute seriousness.

The two of them were so close that they could almost breathe. Somehow, her heart was beating so fast that her face felt like it was on fire.

He didn't notice anything unusual about her. Seeing that the black-clothed people were getting closer and closer, he frowned. Suddenly, he grabbed her and jumped onto the nearest big tree.

The tree was about ten meters tall, and its branches were criss-crossed. It was lush and lush. He placed her on a horizontal branch and said in a low voice, "Hug!"

Gu Jinzhu's legs were in the air and she was so scared that she was about to faint. She could only tightly hold onto a thick branch and didn't dare to move.

Gu Yiqing noticed her nervousness. She tilted her head and smiled, saying softly, "Zhu Er, do you know the meaning of chess?"

Within the blurry shadows, his smile was like the brilliant moonlight as his pair of pitch-black, deep eyes seemed to sway and shatter the stars, causing one's mind to be in a daze.

Gu Jinzhu was dazzled by his words. She didn't know why he said this, but she subconsciously replied, "What is poverty? How are we going to get it all out?"

"That's right!" "What is poverty and how to get rid of it?" He gave her an appreciative look and then suddenly jumped down.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of fighting came from below. Gu Jinzhu was startled, her hands trembled as she pushed away the leaves to look down.

The sky had turned completely dark. A few figures flew around in the darkness, emitting cold rays of light. She could not tell which one was Gu Yiqing.

Hearing the sounds of swords clashing against each other, she clutched her chest tightly, afraid that something might happen to him.

All of a sudden, a human figure leaped towards them. Under the dim light, she could clearly see that it was Gu Yiqing. His figure moved very quickly. In the blink of an eye, several black figures chased behind him. He suddenly jumped into the air, grabbed a vine, and shook it.

Gu Jinzhu looked down from above and could see clearly that when the black-clothed men closed in, a piece of grass beneath them suddenly sank down and a few of the black-clothed men instantly fell to the ground.
