Yang He glanced at Wu Fang and said, "If you feel it's unfair, you can help him."

Wu Fang was completely speechless now. He was still limping, and the fight was only a drag on Gu Qingzhi. He was already helping her by just standing by and watching over her, and calling for help if anything went wrong.

Gu Qingzhi didn't expect him to actually go. "Commander Yang, please give me some advice. I will naturally continue on my own."

Upon hearing this, many of the guards in the courtyard reached for their swords, ready to take action.

Although he had just witnessed the skills of this personal bodyguard, he still disliked his arrogant look.

After a fight, he brazenly wanted to take the opportunity to teach them a lesson, but in the final analysis, he was just taking this opportunity to establish his authority and make everyone think that he was superior.

If Commander Yang hadn't come back, he might have really been scared by him.

Everyone stared at Gu Qingzhi eagerly, but they just stared and waited, and no one was willing to take the first step.

Gao Liang’s fate is still fresh in my mind, and I can’t be the one to take the lead no matter what.

At this moment, something suddenly passed through the crowd and approached Gu Qingzhi rapidly from behind.

The moment the sound of breaking air reached her ears, Gu Qingzhi almost subconsciously turned her body to dodge. A flying knife brushed past her ear and headed towards Yang He's neck opposite her.

Gu Qingzhi was quick-witted and quick-handed, and she grabbed the flying knife, preventing Yang He from getting cut as he had no time to dodge.

However, before she could stand firm, a knife flashed in front of her, and Yang He took the opportunity to draw his sword and pointed it at her face.

"Ding"

There was a subtle sound of weapons clashing, and the flying knife in Gu Qingzhi's hand was blown away by his sword and fell into the grass beside him.

The knife also went astray and missed.

The sound of swords being unsheathed was heard, followed by the bright blades falling like a gust of wind.

Gu Qingzhi crouched down, grabbed Gao Liang's collar and forced him to bend down.

All the blades fell on his back.

However, Gu Qingzhi had a very good grasp of the angle. When everyone saw that it was one of their own, they quickly retracted their force. Even if they were slow to react and couldn't retract their force, the sword would only cut his clothes and then be retracted.

"You¥%&..."

Gao Liang was thrown out before he could even finish a complete greeting, and he bumped into a row of colleagues who were rushing towards him. Some of them were caught off guard and tripped by him, falling to the ground and screaming in pain.

Gu Qingzhi also took advantage of the chaos to escape from the encirclement.

She straightened her back. The operation just now was too extreme. The tear was slightly enlarged, and the feeling of blood was more obvious.

She clenched her left hand into a fist again and placed it behind her. She had only used one hand from beginning to end, but this was not to show off or to appear powerful. Instead, it was to reduce the strain on her back, at least to prevent the scabbed wound from being torn open over a large area.

The guards in the courtyard attacked her like a tidal wave, and she did the same thing, dodging the blades, grabbing one person's head, and ramming it into another or a group of people.

The person who was hit fell to the ground in a daze and would probably not be able to get up for an incense stick of time.

This was the result of her restraining her strength. If she hadn't restrained her strength, her fate would have been similar to that of the servant in the other courtyard who was hit by her and had a bloody head. It might have been even worse than that.

Soon, half of the guards in the courtyard fell down, and most of those who did not fall down had a big red bump on their forehead, which looked both funny and miserable.

To be honest, everyone in them felt like they had seen a ghost.

The man was standing there, but they couldn't touch or chop him. They had tried to surround and intercept him and attack him together, but the man was like a fish with wings, either dodging in strange postures, flying into the sky, or escaping into the ground.

Looking at their Commander Yang, he had been standing there watching the show as if nothing had happened since he made the first move.

But the more I looked at his face, the darker it became, and the tighter his brows furrowed.

The guards could already imagine that they would be scolded later, but when they encountered such a pervert, it was like asking them to go and argue with Chief Steward Xiao. They were completely powerless to fight back!

Moreover, this person always has one hand behind his back, looking so leisurely, which makes people angry just by looking at him.

What is Gu Qingzhi thinking at this moment?

She was wondering who had thrown the flying knife just now.

If it weren't for that flying knife, her wound wouldn't have been torn again. The angle of the flying knife was extremely tricky, and the force was quite impressive.

If she hadn't caught it, the flying knife would have cut Yang He's neck directly and then pierced the throat of the man behind him.

But now is not the time to be absent-minded, he has to deal with this matter quickly. The guards around him are gradually becoming exhausted, but Yang He still hasn't taken any action.

"Commander Yang, do you think it's boring to personally spar with me?"

Gu Qingzhi grabbed the neck of the guard who rushed towards her, causing him to faint on the spot.

Yang He seemed to have just come back to his senses. He let out a breath quietly and sheathed his sword. The feeling of being defeated without a fight was really bad. But after watching for a long time, he still couldn't figure out Gu Qingzhi's strength.

All the moves and body movements were meaningless in her eyes.

He didn't dare to gamble. If he lost to this arrogant guy who only used one hand, his position as the commander of the guards would really be over.

"That's enough. That's all for today. Since you are a personal guard, you should pay more attention to His Highness. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone missing for a whole night without even noticing."

Gu Qingzhi's mouth twitched.

Is she supposed to take the blame for this?

Gu Qingzhi didn't respond, and instead asked him, "Can I pass on the message now?"

"Just say what you want to say."

This time, Yang He failed to stop him, and he knew that he couldn't stop him. To be able to reach his current position from being an abandoned pawn, Prince Duan must have some means, otherwise he would not have won the favor of the Gao family.

Although Empress Defei sent Manager Xiao as a spy, after all, they are only nominally mother and son. How could they really go against each other when they are in the same boat?

Besides, with a personal guard of this level protecting him, Feng Zhanye is very lucky.

Manager Xiao would definitely not end up well if he fought with him, so there was no need for him to get involved in this mess.

Seeing that it was almost time, Wu Fang quickly called out to everyone in the courtyard: "Hey, hey! Wake up, it won't hurt you to listen more!"

The guards around her who were beaten to pieces by her helped each other up. This time, no one had the intention of looking down on her.

Gu Qingzhi's eyes swept calmly across the faces that were either frightened, angry, or thoughtful, and she spoke slowly:

"The palace is no ordinary place, and Your Highness is no ordinary ruler. Where Your Highness was last night, and how he managed to avoid certain 'concerned' gazes, must be clear to some people by now."

She glanced at Yang He and continued:

"Your Highness can see some things clearly, and some people are not without trace. Every move in this mansion, whether it is a blessing or a disaster, will eventually fall on the head of the person who deserves it."

"You are all extraordinary people. It is not easy to find a future in the palace. Remember, where your blades point today, the karma will return to you in the future. Everyone, cherish your lives."

After Gu Qingzhi finished speaking, she walked out of the crowd.

No one dared to stop her anymore. The meaning of her words was already very clear. The rest would only be revealed by time.

Wu Fang frowned as he looked at her back, then followed her happily.

"Brother Gu, there's blood oozing from your back!" He lowered his voice as much as possible. "I told you there's no need to argue with them, but you refused to listen..."

Wu Fang limped after Gu Qingzhi and kept muttering, but Gu Qingzhi had no time to pay attention to him. She really wanted to know who threw the flying knife.
