Gu Jinzhu trembled as she turned her head to see Gu Yiqing putting away his bow. He pursed his lips tightly, his expression extremely cold. His pitch black eyes were like a serene pond, and there was an unprecedented, biting cold killing intent coming from him.

Gu Jinzhu covered her mouth tightly, and did not let out a sharp scream. Her heart was beating very fast, and just as she was panicking, Mu Jing had somehow gotten close to her. She put her arm around Gu Jinzhu's waist and 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 people ran away while screaming. The cold blade light was right in front of her. She could barely see how Gu Yiqing did it, and all she knew was that the man in black fell without exception.

Her legs were so weak that if it weren't for Gu Yiqing, 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. Only after seeing that the blood-clothed person was protecting Yun Xiang and Biwan tightly while retreating did she finally relax a little. She then realized that those black-clothed people were actually coming for 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 expression was grave as he suddenly jumped up with her in his arms. He landed between the collapsed buildings and ran out of the city.

The man in black kept up with her. Gu Jinzhu's heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her mouth. She closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look anymore.

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 put her into a bush, and those black-clothed people had already disappeared. 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 a sinister air to 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 woman in her room who never left home. When had she ever seen such a scene? For a moment, she was greatly agitated. Her head and face were still smeared with blood, and she could not help but vomit after smelling the pungent smell of blood.

After an unknown amount of time, the dense forest gradually darkened. Gu Yiqing still hadn't come back, so she squatted until her legs became numb, but didn't dare to move a single step.

Seeing the light gradually dim and the shadows of the trees in the dense forest, her heart rose to her throat. She was extremely worried and worried. She didn't know what had happened to Gu Yiqing and the others, but if she didn't come back now, the sky would be dark.

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!"

Gu Jinzhu's mind was suddenly relieved upon hearing Gu Yiqing's voice and instantly went limp.

Her chest was heaving and her mind was buzzing. She was too shocked. Luckily, Gu Yiqing had covered her mouth and kept her quiet.

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 Gu Yiqing sticking close to her, the young man's body was sturdy and powerful, she could even feel his heartbeat, it was not chaotic like her.

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 feet soared through the air. She was so scared that she almost fainted. She could only tightly hold onto a thick branch, not daring to move at all.

Sensing her nervousness, Gu Yiqing tilted his head and smiled. He said softly, "Zhu, do you know the meaning of playing 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 stunned 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 jumped in fright, her hands trembling as she pushed away the leaves on the tree and looked down.

The sky had turned completely dark. A few figures flew around in the darkness, emitting cold lights. She couldn't even 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.

Suddenly, a human figure leaped over here. Borrowing the blurry 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 could clearly see from above that as the men in black closed in on her, a patch of grass beneath it suddenly caved in and a few men in black fell to the ground.
