Chapter 70: Relentless Pursuit

The man really couldn't bear it anymore, and he actually ran over from behind Gu Junqing and almost hugged Gu Junqing's waist. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, turned her body to the side and avoided the man.

The woman fell to the ground as a result.

Only after Gu Junqing turned around did he see clearly that it was a charming and beautiful young woman wearing only a scarlet gauze dress. She had a delicate expression and bright eyes. There was a teardrop mole in her eye and there seemed to be a hook at the end of her eye. She looked at Gu Junqing hesitantly.

She had a cold face and said in a cold tone:

"Who asked you to come?"

The woman saw that Gu Junqing didn't catch her but let her fall. Now he didn't approach her to help her up. His face was full of indifference. He didn't even want to look at her. Tears soon flashed in the woman's eyes. Her nice voice contained a bit of timidity:

"Yes...it was the Emperor who asked me to serve General Gu..."

Serve, serve...

Gu Junqing suddenly remembered what Qi Yunjin said this afternoon.

Great! So here is the oversight!

Her face immediately turned pale, and she glared at the woman in front of her who was unwilling to get close to her, her voice filled with anger:

"No need! You should go back! This general does not need anyone to serve him!"

The woman heard this, but instead of leaving, she waved her watery eyes, shook her head and said angrily:

"No, I can't leave. The emperor said that I must serve the general well, otherwise I..."

He didn't explain anything further. Gu Junqing was furious but couldn't openly drive the man away. After all, this was someone sent by the emperor. If she drove him away, wouldn't it be a loss of face for the emperor?

After a pause, Gu Junqing walked to the couch and took on all the outer and inner clothes that were on the couch. He walked behind the screen and wanted to put on his clothes, but when he saw the woman trying to follow him, Gu Junqing glared at her, scaring her so much that she stood still and dared not move.

Then the woman watched Gu Junqing get dressed, push open the palace door, and leave without paying any attention to the surprised looks of the two eunuchs waiting outside.

Since the woman doesn't want to leave, let her go. After all, there is no future for two women, even though in the eyes of that woman, he is a man.

When the two eunuchs saw Gu Junqing walking away, they looked at each other, and one of them left and went in the direction of the emperor's bedroom.

Gu Junqing groped around in this huge palace for a long time before she realized that she seemed to be lost. "..."

There was dead silence nearby, and there were no eunuchs or palace maids guarding the area. Apart from the chirping insects at night, the only sound was an owl, staring at him with its big, bright eyes.

After a while, Gu Junqing finally left the strange place. However, when she looked up inadvertently, she found a palace that no one had ever lived in. Perhaps it had been a long time, and the eunuchs and palace maids had never noticed such a place, so they had not cleaned it. When the breeze blew, the sky was full of dust.

Gu Junqing couldn't help but cough because of the dust, and he squinted his eyes and waved his hand.

She stood there and watched for a while. She was still curious, so she couldn't help but gently push open the door of the hall. After entering the hall, she found that everything here was covered with dust. There was a stove in front of the hall with the lid still open. When she looked closely, she could see that there were some paper money that had not been burned completely in the stove, which was used to burn for the dead.

Gu Junqing's heart skipped a beat at the sight. A deserted palace, with paper money for the dead burning in a furnace, white gauze arranged around it, and the word "Dian" in the center...

She couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body and was about to quit and leave this damn place.

After closing the door, Gu Junqing suddenly felt a chill on her back. She moved faster than she realized and dodged to the side. She saw a dagger flying straight away from the top of the palace gate with such great force that it trembled and flashed left and right.

Looking behind him, he saw a group of people wearing night clothes with black cloth covering their faces, and holding long swords and short daggers in their hands.

Her left eye twitched and she felt so unlucky.

But there was no other way, so I had to think of a way to get out.

A group of people rushed up. Gu Junqing used his luck and light skills to attack and defend at times, but he mostly defended. After all, there were too many people. He also took the dagger from the man who had just fallen to the ground and killed whoever he could.

She didn't know where she had come to with her light Kung Fu, but this group of people were still chasing her relentlessly, as if they would not give up until they achieved their goal. She was now hiding in a very awkward manner and had been stabbed several times.

There were about a dozen people in total, but she only killed five of them!

Why is there still no one around?

Gu Junqing covered his bleeding left arm and couldn't help feeling anxious.

Suddenly, she felt a pain in her right leg as someone hit her ankle with a stone. She fell to the ground violently and was caught up by a group of people behind her. Gu Junqing had no time to react. Just as someone was about to stab her chest in the heart with a long sword, a clang sounded, which was the sharp sound of two blades hitting each other.

The long sword in front of him stopped stabbing, and even the person wielding the long sword suddenly fell to the ground. Gu Junqing looked behind the fallen person.

The man in front of him was holding an exquisite snow-white sword in his hand. He was dressed in white, had a handsome face, perfect thin lips, and beautiful peach blossom eyes that were deep and dark, like a clear pond, clean, but bottomless.

The moonlight was beautiful at that moment, and the moonlight shining on his face made it appear somewhat clear and transparent, like a banished immortal under the moon. It was breathtakingly beautiful and incredible!

Gu Junqing, who fell to the ground with blood all over his face, was actually dazed for a moment.

Gu Junqing fell to the ground and looked up at the man who was gradually approaching her.

It was not until the man squatted down and looked at her for a long time, and until Gu Junqing could no longer bear it and wanted to try to stand up, that the man spoke. His deep and magnetic voice was a little hoarse, and he asked in an unrecognizable manner:

"Can't stand up?"

Gu Junqing's eyes flickered slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

Then she heard the man chuckle, with obvious sarcasm in his laughter: "Heh" "..."

Seeing this, Gu Junqing's heart was blocked. She insisted on standing up by herself. However, before she could take action, the man in front of her suddenly bent down, hugged her waist and calves, and picked her up. Gu Junqing was so scared that she quickly hugged the man's neck. What she saw was his clear jawline, but there was a bit of fear in her eyes:

"Your Majesty! This! I can walk on my own!"

Qi Yunjin sneered, but no matter how Gu Junqing shouted and struggled, he just refused to let go. It was a joke that he said he could walk after falling like this!

The group of people who were originally chasing Gu Junqing were dealt with by the prison secret guards who came to support them, leaving the two people who were knocked unconscious for interrogation.
