Chapter 557 Who did you offend that led to your execution?
"Yes, she suffered, it's all my fault..."
Gu Changling felt guilty. He was not clear about what had happened when Gu Qingyue had been missing for several years. His sons were also vague and unwilling to explain in detail.
Perhaps she was afraid that her memory hadn't returned and that telling him would only cause her more trouble.
It wasn't until the journey back to the capital that Qin told Gu Changling everything in detail.
Gu Changling felt very uncomfortable.
If he hadn't gone missing, how could his sister-in-law, Liu, have been so bold as to sell Yue'er!
Fortunately, Yue'er was resilient by nature and managed to forge her own path; otherwise, the couple would have died of guilt and self-blame!
Watching Gu Qingyue's retreating figure from afar, he secretly decided that as long as his daughter was safe and sound, she could do whatever she wanted!
"careful!"
In the distance, Gu Qingyue, who was galloping on her horse, deftly bent over and disappeared to the side of her steed, narrowly dodging three arrows.
"alert!"
Behind him, Gu Yuanchen shouted loudly.
The carriage procession, which was some distance away, immediately stopped, and all the guards surrounded the carriages.
Meanwhile, from the nearby mountains and forests near the lake that Gu Qingyue had just been thinking about, no fewer than a hundred people rushed out. They were all dressed in black and masked, their eyes like those of hungry wolves, staring at her group.
When Qin Shi and Gu Yuanjin came from the capital, they naturally brought a large number of guards. According to Gu Yuanchen, they encountered two groups of bandits who robbed them on their way, but they were quickly dealt with. Otherwise, they were all safe and sound.
Therefore, the guards were not injured or killed.
Now, these guards from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, along with Yue Ling and the others led by Gu Qingyue, make up about forty people in front of the men in black.
Of course, the young men from Moon Shadow Pavilion were some distance away, hidden in the shadows.
Gu Qingyue's habit of keeping a backup plan is indeed a good one!
Such as now.
With a swift turn, Gu Qingyue sat upright on her horse again, staring at the hostile-looking person with sharp, icy eyes.
"Gentlemen, what do you want to do?"
The leader of the men in black glanced at Gu Qingyue, then at Gu Yuanjin and Gu Yuanchen behind her, and raised his hand, "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
Gu Qingyue narrowed her eyes; she was certain that the man in black knew them.
She caught the way he was looking at his two older brothers.
Gu Qingyue was certain that this was not a personal grudge!
My two older brothers are on duty in the capital. Who could they possibly offend that would lead to their execution?
It's obvious that someone wants to kill the people of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!
Gu Qingyue's thoughts raced for only a moment before she drew her twin swords from her waist, leaped into the air, and charged toward the man in black.
The melee began in an instant.
After exchanging blows with the leader in black for a few rounds, Gu Qingyue had a good idea of what to expect.
These people are very strong, but they are still no match for me.
Judging from their moves and skills, she had a bold guess: these people were either the Third Prince's or the Fifth Prince's men.
It's at least half a month's journey from here to the capital. The fact that they came here to ambush the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion shows that it was premeditated.
The situation in the capital is dire!
In the distance, Gu Changling and Qin Shi were still sitting in the carriage. Gu Changling held Qin Shi protectively in his arms, his expression solemn as he stared at the group of people fighting fiercely outside.
It was clear that they were handling the situation with ease, and those people were no match for them. However, the other side had the advantage of numbers, so they hadn't been able to defeat them yet.
'Whoosh whoosh whoosh-------' A continuous stream of arrows suddenly shot out from the woods beside the carriage.
Gu Changling, holding Qin Shi in his arms, cleaved open the back door of the carriage with a sword, leaped into the air, and the two landed steadily in the distance. When they turned around, the carriage was now riddled with spikes!
Meanwhile, Gu Qingyue's sword swept across the black-clad leader's arm, spurting out a line of blood. The black-clad leader staggered back several steps, looking at Gu Qingyue with apprehension and a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Gu Qingyue did not go forward again, but turned around to look at the movements of Gu Changling and the others in the distance.
She naturally saw that there were quite a few men in black rushing out of the mountains from the carriage procession.
Gu Changling was still protecting Qin Shi in his arms. He drew his long sword and was fighting with the men in black around him. Not far away, some of his guards had already been killed or wounded.
Gu Qingyue immediately took out a signal arrow from her bosom, raised her hand and shot it into the sky. The signal arrow whistled as it flew high into the sky, emitting red flames.
There were too many opponents; even Yue Ling and the others were surrounded by no fewer than seven or eight people each. It was time for the young men of the Moon Shadow Pavilion to take action.
Turning around, Gu Qingyue saw the black-clad leader being protected by several men in black as they ran backward, seemingly trying to escape.
Gu Qingyue chuckled, leaped into the air, and landed in front of the black-clad leader.
"Speak, who sent you?"
Gu Qingyue was dressed as a man at this time, and had made a slight disguise, so the leader of the black-clad men really didn't recognize her.
His mind was in turmoil!
He was the Third Prince's personal bodyguard and had been active in the capital, but he had never seen such a powerful bodyguard in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!
He looks young, but his skills are probably even better than those of the young masters in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
This time, they were ordered by the Third Prince to intercept and kill the Third Miss of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. It would be best if they could also get rid of the second branch of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
The Third Prince naturally did not want to see Mu Yun Chu and Gu Qing Yue get married, nor did he want to see the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion become a powerful ally of Mu Yun Chu and Prince Kang.
The second branch of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion must be eliminated!
The man in black looked at the boy in front of him, pushed away the other man in black who was supporting him, and stepped forward with his sword, aiming straight for Gu Qingyue's waist and abdomen.
Gu Qingyue sneered, her twin swords flashing with cold light as she met the attack.
In a short while, they were locked in combat again.
Since she couldn't get any information out of her, Gu Qingyue stopped holding back and attacked swiftly, much more ruthlessly than before.
In just a short while, the black-clad leader had seven or eight wounds all over his body.
Since obtaining Master Liaochen's secret manual, Gu Qingyue's internal strength and physical skills have improved at a frightening speed.
If it were the same skill I had when I left the capital a few months ago, I probably wouldn't have been able to injure my opponent so quickly.
The leader in black fought and retreated, genuinely wanting to escape, knowing he was no match for the man before him.
So, he raised his hand and waved it, and a white powder flew in an arc toward Gu Qingyue's face.
Use poison?
Gu Qingyue leaped backward, and at the same time, she raised her sleeve, sending out a golden light. The small golden snake shot out like an arrow, directly hitting the black-clad leader's neck.
A scream of agony rang out, and the next instant, with a thud, the black-clad leader was dead beyond any doubt.
Upon seeing this, the men in black nearby scattered in fear.
How could the little golden snake let such a good opportunity pass by?
It flashed through the crowd of people in black like lightning, and in just a moment, a large number of them fell.
Finally, it turned around and was taken into Gu Qingyue's space.
Gu Qingyue looked at the large group of people lying on the edge of the woods, turned around, and rushed towards the carriage.
