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. He rolled on the ground and let out a sharp piercing sound that flew past their ears.

Although Gu Jinzhu was being held by him, her elbow was on the ground, bringing along a scorching pain. Her long hair was loose, 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 leader was a tall and sturdy man in black armor, he laughed at Gu Yiqing and said, "Master Gu, I didn't expect you to have such a day, right? You escaped several times, so I want to know if you have always been so lucky! "

Under the light 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 drinking together, but that person was chasing after Gu Yiqing in all sorts of ways.

Gu Jinzhu's heart gradually sank as she looked at the officials of the prefectural, prefectural, and prefectural officials. A few hours ago, they were still chatting happily, but now, under the illumination of the raging flames, their faces were painted with malevolence.

Gu Yiqing stood up and brushed off the dirt on her body. He said lightly, "The lords are really interested. It's so late. It's 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 do you want us to ask Master Gu to leave? If we were the ones to take action, then it would be a pity for the beautiful woman beside Master Gu. "

His gaze swept over to Gu Jinzhu with a bit of amazement and desire.

The firelight illuminated everything as clearly as if it was day. Gu Jinzhu was only wearing a shirt, and her slim figure became even more apparent. Her black hair flowed down like water, and because the situation was so critical, she wasn't even wearing shoes.

Gu Jinzhu trembled under the gaze. She felt its coldness, like a viper's tongue licking her skin, making her scalp tingle. She couldn't help but to lean towards Gu Yiqing and hide tightly behind his back.

Gu Yiqing's aura suddenly became 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's speed was too fast. The group of black-clothed men only felt a blur before their eyes, and a few of them were hit by the sleeve arrows and fell off their horses.

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. His entire body was emitting a cold aura as if he was bathing in blood like an Asura.

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 team of people spurred their horses and ran to the front. The leader dismounted from his horse to greet them. It was Blood Cloth.

Xue Yi handed over a handkerchief. Gu Yiqing wiped the blood from his face and actually revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth. "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 away the silk handkerchief in his hand and said, "Capture all of them, no one is allowed to escape the net. Those who resist will be executed 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 so scared that her heart was trembling. Her hands and feet turned ice-cold, almost falling to the ground. She had seen people die before, but never such a massacre. She only felt that what happened before her was a nightmare.

Gu Yiqing was extremely frightened. A warm palm covered her eyes. He 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 at her 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, Gu Jinzhu couldn't bear the delicate touch and even subconsciously touched her feet. Gu Jinzhu's face was burning up and her head was buzzing. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself.
