"I knew it." Gong Ziyu raised his chin proudly, looking very proud of himself. If you didn't know him, you would think he had a very close relationship with Zhang Xueming.

When he arrived at the dungeon entrance, he stopped to straighten his clothes carefully, even smoothing out the two strands of black hair that he had deliberately left on both sides of his forehead, which looked like long beards. Then he walked out with his head held high and his chest puffed out, smiling.

As soon as Gong Ziyu saw Zhang Xueming waiting for them not far away, his eyes were full of affection and his smile was as warm as spring flowers. He quickly walked forward and stood in front of her.

Gong Ziyu really wanted to lift the red veil to let Zhang Xueming breathe freely, and maybe take a look at her eyes and eyebrows hidden by the veil to see if they were as charming as he imagined.

But no one touched Zhang Xueming's veil for such a long time, and she took it off herself without thinking that her view was blocked, but she was afraid that there would be some explanation.

Gong Ziyu didn't understand the meaning and didn't dare to act rashly for fear of getting her into trouble.

The nights in the valley are always unusually cold. Zhang Xueming was wearing thin clothes and was afraid she would catch a cold if she went out in the wind. Gong Ziyu really wanted to take off the sable cloak that Gong Huanyu had specially asked someone to make for her and put it on her.

But there are differences between men and women. Although Zhang Xueming is wearing her wedding dress today, her marriage has not actually been arranged yet, and she is still an unmarried girl.

Soon there would be ten pairs of eyes from ten strange girls staring at her. If they saw his cloak draped over her, it would probably ruin her reputation...

Delusions are ultimately just delusions.

He must take this opportunity to send her out of the palace. He knows nothing and has nothing. Even if he keeps her, he cannot protect her.

Gong Ziyu's eyes dimmed, and after thinking for a while, he gently reminded: "Miss Zheng Er, just follow me closely, and don't pay attention to others."

As he said this, he turned around and saw a good wall of meat blocking the wind and leading the way.

Zhang Xueming was stunned for a moment, and he admired the second son of Yu Gong a little more: "Thank you."

Knowing that she was an extraordinary skilled person, Gong Ziyu was able to put aside his arrogance as a young master of the palace and approach her in a familiar manner.

It's true that I take care of her to the best of my ability.

It is true that we should put ourselves in her shoes, not do anything beyond the norm, and not bring blemish to her reputation.

It is true that she is kept under close watch.

By the way, he asked her to be his free personal bodyguard, and to put his hands in the open to guard against possible dangers.

After all, facing a group of bride candidates who had mixed in with the Bladeless Assassins, it was really too risky to bring only one personal bodyguard...

Listen, what's that popping sound?

Oh, that’s Gong Ziyu’s little plan.

Zhang Xueming lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, but he did not show any disgust.

Gong Ziyu is a careful, thoughtful, considerate person with good acting skills, a quick mind and a thick skin. He may seem cynical, but in fact he is neither rude nor oversteps the line.

He also had outstanding good looks, a smile as warm as the spring sun melting the snow, and no matter what he said, it sounded sincere and heartfelt.

Who could hate such a person?

Anyway, Zhang Xueming can't.

However, it turns out that red-light districts are so tough on people?

Hmm, come to think of it.

That kind of place is full of all kinds of people. No matter how powerful Gong Ziyu's background is, it's not easy to kill him. Just let him suffer a blow and suffer a loss. Who's afraid of that?

After suffering a loss and being beaten, it's no use asking your parents for help. If you want to continue to make it, you can only rely on yourself. If you don't put in a lot of effort and develop the ability to speak differently to different people, how can you deal with those people, protect yourself and get information?

Moreover, Gong Ziyu had been in the entertainment industry for more than five years, and there was nothing else in the rumors except that he was an erotic. The rumors of his eroticism were only related to one girl, and he had never even fought with others for a girl, which was a common thing in the entertainment industry.

It can be seen that he is a man of measure.

The most unruly in public, but the most disciplined in private.

What's wrong with her just protecting such a worldly-wise but unsophisticated young man?

When Zhang Xueming saw Gong Ziyu's feet move, he also followed him, three steps away, neither far nor close.

Jin Fan witnessed the whole process, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he poked Gong Ziyu's back of the head with his eyes in disappointment.

Gong Ziyu pretended not to know and led Zhang Xueming to the front of the bride-to-be-selected team. As they walked, he raised his voice and ordered, "Jin Fan, I'll lead the way and you follow behind. It's a dark and windy night, so don't let anyone fall behind. Otherwise, if they are mistaken for assassins and shot by patrolling guards and sentries, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck."

Seven true? The bride-to-be has no idea, she just follows when asked to.

The three Wufeng brides mixed in had their retreat blocked. They wanted to get closer to Gong Ziyu for protection, but they were afraid that Jin Fan, who was sharp-eyed behind them, would see them and get suspicious. So they could only follow the team according to their original positions, taking one step at a time.

On the way, they even exchanged their names and origins in a low voice.

It turns out that the dignified and generous-looking girl Wu Feng is named Cheng Angyun, the third daughter of the Cheng family, a wealthy merchant family in Yuanjiang City.

The cold and weak-faced girl Wu Feng is named Yun Weishan, the only daughter of the Yun family in Lixi Town.

Perhaps it was because Zhang Xueming was still wearing her veil and Gong Ziyu did not talk to her or show any affection in front of others, even though she followed Gong Ziyu at the front of the team, few people paid attention to her.

Or perhaps it was because her outfit was so strange and scary in the dim light. Everyone's experience that night was already thrilling enough, and they didn't want to add any more burden to their hearts, so they subconsciously avoided her and only stared at the heels of the person in front of them, and followed the team silently forward.

Jin Fan adhered to the principle of doing the whole thing and assigned tasks to Jin Chengwei and another guard in a very professional manner: "Come here, there are people waiting outside to meet you, you don't have to follow us. Enter the cells and search each cell carefully to see if there are any unusual items, such as hidden weapons they have hidden."

After hearing Jin Chengwei's response, Jin Fan turned around and chased the team.

Gong Ziyu and the group of girls couldn't walk fast, so Jin Fan caught up with them without much effort.

It happened that dark clouds covered the moon, and the valley was pitch black with shadows of the trees looming. The only sounds that could be heard were the rapid footsteps and restrained breathing.

Jin Fan slowed down his pace, keeping a distance of five steps from the two brides-to-be at the end of the team, with his right hand always on the hilt of the knife.

With him behind, Yun Weishan had no chance to leave the team even though he found that this road was in the opposite direction of the lighthouse.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Gong Ziyu led a group of people into an alley. At the end of the alley was a stone wall, which was a dead end.

Gong Ziyu stopped in front of the stone wall, ignoring the whispers of the brides-to-be. He turned his head and looked deeply at Zhang Xueming, gritted his teeth, suppressed the reluctance in his heart, walked to the wall, and pressed down a dark brick.

The wall suddenly rose up, and a dark secret passage appeared before our eyes.

Gong Ziyu turned around and found that Zhang Xueming had left the secret passage at some point.

Jin Fan had always paid attention to secretly watching her every move, even when he was keeping an eye on other potential brides.

He always felt that Zhang Xueming was a dangerous person.

Whether it was the strange attraction of Zhang Xueming that made people unforgettable even without showing her face when they first met, or the cold, eerie, and creepy feeling that seemed to emanate from her all the time when they met again, it was very dangerous.

At this moment, Zhang Xueming had already stood at the base of the wall, facing the opposite direction of the secret passage. His posture was still dignified and elegant, and his temperament was still otherworldly. However, he had his face covered with a veil and was in a dimly lit place. He looked more like a strange stone sculpture than a living person.

Jin Fan's scalp tingled just by looking at it, but Gong Ziyu was unaware of it. She looked at Zhang Xueming in confusion, then at the group of brides-to-be who were all focused on the secret passage. She pursed her lips and said, "This secret passage can lead to the outside of the Old Dust Valley, but it's full of traps, so be careful—"

Before he finished speaking, a cold and provocative voice sounded behind everyone: "Gong Ziyu, didn't you send someone to test the medicine for me? Why did you bring him here?"
