When people died, this day would come sooner or later. However, because she was by his side, she didn't feel the slightest bit of unease.

It was great to have someone protecting him like this before he died. He didn't have to travel alone.

Thinking about this, she actually smiled. Ever since she was young, she had received less care and care. At this moment, she couldn't help but stick to his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat. She had never felt so safe before.

When they entered the dense forest, the horse could no longer hold on. It gasped and panted heavily, spitting out white foam from its mouth.

An arrow shot from behind them. Gu Yiqing carried her and jumped off the horse, rolling on the ground. A sharp piercing sound flew past their ears.

Although Gu Jinzhu was being held by him, her elbow brushed against the ground, bringing with it a fiery and stinging pain. Her long hair was scattered down, and she only looked battered and exhausted.

The sound of horses galloping could be heard outside the jungle. A large group of men in black with torches on their horses came in, and the whole place immediately lit up with light.

The leading man was dressed in black armor and was tall and sturdy. He laughed as he looked at Gu Qingqing who was lying on the ground, "Master Gu, I didn't expect you to have such a day, did I? You escaped several times, so I want to know if you have always been so lucky! "

Under the illumination of the fire, Gu Jinzhu could clearly see that the person was actually the head soldier of the Binzhou Prefecture. During the banquet, everyone was still toasting each other, but that person was chasing after Gu Yiqing in all sorts of ways.

Looking towards his side, Gu Jinzhu's heart gradually sank. The officials of the prefectures, the prefectures, and the prefectures were all chatting and laughing together a few hours ago. But now, under the illumination of the blazing flames, their faces were painted with a layer of malevolence.

Gu Yiqing stood up and brushed off the dirt on her body, saying lightly, "The lords are really interested. It's already so late, why is it worth it for me to gather so many people?"

His gaze turned pitch-black and cold as it swept across those people one by one. Those who saw him couldn't help but shrink back.

"We have never dared to look down on Lord Gu's ability, or else the Sixth Prince would not value it so much and let you come and investigate the waters of Binzhou. It's a pity that you don't know how to appreciate this kindness and want to take care of everyone, then don't blame us for this."

He raised his chin towards Gu Yiqing and said coldly, "Do you want to do it yourself, or should we invite Master Gu to go? If we were the ones to take action, then it would be a pity for the beautiful woman beside Master Gu. "

His gaze swept towards Gu Jinzhu with a bit of astonishment and desire.

Her black hair flowed down like water. Because the situation at that time was too dangerous, she didn't even wear her shoes, and her white feet stepped on the ground, her skin was as smooth and beautiful as jade.

Gu Jinzhu trembled under the gaze. She only felt her eyes turn cold, like a poisonous snake licking her skin, causing her scalp to go numb. She couldn't help but move closer to Gu Yiqing and tightly hide behind him.

Gu Yiqing's aura suddenly turned dangerous. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Really?" Before he could finish his words, his body had already leaped up and shot towards the officials like a bolt of lightning.

His movements were too fast. His entire body seemed to have transformed into an afterimage in the night sky. Sword light flashed out like a waterfall, piercing straight towards the person in the middle.

The chief soldier panicked and backed off, growling loudly, "Quick, quick, stop him!" He.

Before he could finish that last word, the sword light had already arrived. He hurriedly raised his sword to block it. The surrounding black-clothed people also reacted and rushed forward.

However, Gu Yiqing was too fast. The group of men in black could only see a blur before their eyes, and several of them fell off their horses after being struck by the arrows.

The soldier widened his eyes in fright. Before he could even cry out, his head had already flown up to the sky.

Hot blood splattered on Gu Yiqing's body. His jade white face was covered in bright red blood drops, and his entire body was emitting a cold aura as if he was bathing in blood.

The surrounding people were scared out of their wits. Some of the more timid ones immediately fell off their horses and began to trample on each other. The surroundings immediately became a mess.

However, before the man in black could react, another group of people rushed in and completely surrounded the forest. Both sides were engaged in a chaotic battle.

Gu Yiqing retreated to Gu Jinzhu's side. A group of people spurred their horses forward. The leader dismounted from his horse and saluted. It was actually Xue Yi.

A handkerchief was handed over by Xue Yi. Gu Yiqing wiped the blood from her face and lips, revealing a trace of a smile, "It's all been arranged?"

Xue Yi bowed his head and said respectfully, "Master, all official mansions are under control. The family members are put in prison. There are five hundred and sixty-seven of them. The masterminds are all here!"

"Very good," Gu Yiqing threw the silk handkerchief in her hand and said lightly, "Capture all of them. No fish are allowed to escape the net. Those who dare to rebel, execute them on the spot!"

"Yes sir!"

Xue Yi waved his hand. Later on, the number of imperial guards was several times more than the number of the black-clothed men. This time, it was almost a one-sided massacre.

Gu Jinzhu was only scared to the point that her heart was trembling, her hands and feet instantly turned cold, and she almost collapsed to the ground. She had seen the dead before, but she had never seen such a massacre.

Just as she was scared out of her wits, a warm hand touched her eyes. Gu Yiqing said lightly, "Stop looking."

It was unknown if it was her imagination, but she actually felt that the voice that was so close to her had a hint of gentleness in it. Before she could come to her senses, her body suddenly flew up into the air and was carried by him.

Someone at his side brought her a horse. He personally carried her up, but he didn't do anything for a long time.

She followed his gaze and saw that he was staring at her feet.

Under the light of the fire, her snow-white toes were like sparkling pearls. Her fingernails were suffused with a faint pink hue, like petals of a cherry blossom.

Gu Jinzhu only felt a 'boom' as her face suddenly turned boiling hot. She couldn't help but pull back her feet, not wanting him to look again.

In the next moment, he suddenly grabbed one of her feet, and his exquisite skin made contact with the thin cocoon in his palm, unexpectedly bringing with it a trace of a strange feeling. It was as if someone had pinched the tip of her heart, causing her to suddenly become flustered and bashful, and she almost blurted out, "What are you doing!"

He tore off a piece of cloth from her body and wiped off the soil beneath her feet. The soft cloth brushed against the bottom of her feet and his movements were so gentle that it made her feel as if her heart had been thrown into a stone as she panicked to the extreme.

His hand was so strong that it held her firmly, preventing her from withdrawing. After wiping off both her feet, he probably couldn't bear the exquisite touch and even unconsciously touched her. Gu Jinzhu's face was burning, and a buzzing sound came from her head. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself.
