After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Seeing Gu Mingzhe holding a large lump, she walked forward with curiosity, bowed to Gu Mingzhe and said, "Brother..."

The other ladies standing behind her blushed and just bowed from a distance!

Gu Mingzhe should have avoided it, but he was so overwhelmed with love that he couldn't care less. He just said happily, "Sister, how did you know His Highness sent someone to deliver something to me?"

Gu Mingxi:........

Gu Mingxi took a deep breath and nodded with a stiff expression, as a greeting.

Then he turned around and ran away with his little sisters.

Big brother is so scary!

The eldest brother who is controlled by Princess Zhaohua is even more terrifying!

After running away, the daughter of the Protector of the Country asked breathlessly, "What did your elder brother say just now that frightened you like this?"

Gu Mingxi's face was full of rejection and he refused to answer.

Several young sisters refused to give up. Although they also admired the young master of the Gu family, they knew that he was the future prince consort, so they had already hidden this admiration in their hearts.

However, if I am lucky enough to meet him, I naturally want to know more about him.

What if, what if his marriage with Princess Zhaohua doesn't go through?

Gu Mingxi felt hopeless and replied calmly, "My eldest brother has gone crazy. Don't hold out any hope. Even pigs are more rational than him now..."

The corners of the mouths of several young sisters twitched!

What is this nonsense?

How could you curse your elder brother like that?

As soon as Gu Mingxi saw their expressions, he knew they didn't believe it.

To be honest, if it was in the past, she wouldn't believe it!

But now....

Ah!

Princess Zhaohua is poisonous!

Give her back that elder brother who was as gentle as the breeze and as bright as the moon!

.....

Gu Mingzhe, carrying a large bundle, successfully strolled around the mansion before returning to his own yard with satisfaction.

Opening the bundle, he carefully examined the things Zhong Ning had given him.

Inside the fox fur coat were a pair of knee pads and an exquisite wooden box.

The knee pads and fox fur are made of one material, which is very warm.

Inside the wooden box was a jade pendant carved with a mandarin duck.

Gu Mingzhe held the jade pendant against his chest, then took off the jade pendant he was carrying and replaced it with the mandarin duck pendant.

Touching the jade pendant, it felt as if good things were about to happen to His Highness.

There is a sense of happiness that the jade pendant is accompanying me instead of His Highness!

Yes, he is happy again!

Gu Mingzhe took the jade pendant and stroked it again and again, his eyes full of joy.

This joy had not yet dissipated when the teacher in charge of teaching and guidance came to the door.

Seeing him like this, the teacher couldn't help but ask:

"What happened today?"

Gu Mingzhe looked up happily. He had finally waited for someone to ask him again:

"Sir, how do you know this jade pendant was given to me by Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

gentlemen:........

Did he ask that?

what?

Is this what he asked?

The gentleman looked constipated. He had heard that the young master of the Gu family seemed to have been robbed and suffered some minor injuries. He had planned to go to his home to teach him the next day.

But Gu Mingzhe said that the time for the scientific examination was approaching and he didn't want to waste time.

He just came to the door!

But, as soon as he arrived and asked the first question, he was given this?

Did he ask about the jade pendant?

The gentleman was so shocked by Gu Mingzhe's sudden answer that he became withdrawn and didn't give him a good look the whole day.

But Gu Mingzhe didn't care.

He touched the jade pendant, his heart full of motivation. He was confident today that he would be able to study for two more hours!

.......

Lin'an City.

Ning Mansion.

In Chongxi Hall.

Ning Yuanting, the head of the Ning Mansion, was sitting at the top seat, drinking tea slowly.

Also sitting at the bottom of the hall were liaison representatives sent by several other aristocratic families, such as Li Cong, the eldest son of the Longxi Li family, Cui Ping, the trusted shopkeeper of the Qinghe Cui family, and Pei Lin, one of the most trusted stewards of the Guangyuan Pei family.

There are also several liaison representatives from other families, most of whom are shopkeepers or confidants of the family head.

Most of them are not as famous as those sent by these two noble families, but they should not be underestimated.

The plot to capture Princess Zhaohua was initiated by the Cui family of Qinghe, and was only initiated after the approval of several other major families.

They were supposed to gather at the Cui family in Qinghe and wait for news.

However, Qinghe County is farther away from the capital than Lin'an, so let's use the Lin'an Ning family as a base for the time being and discuss countermeasures together.

A few days ago, we received a message via carrier pigeon saying that the operation had failed, but it didn’t explain exactly how it failed.

Several people were sitting here feeling extremely anxious. If they hadn't received the tip-off that those who were going to the capital to make plans would arrive today, they would have been unable to sit still.

"Master, master...they are back..." The old butler came hurriedly while running to report the news.

"Let them in quickly..." Ning Yuanting could no longer sit still. This group of people were going to the capital on their behalf, bringing so many secret guards and death warriors with them, but they hadn't accomplished anything yet. It was really abominable.

Soon, several middle-aged men in gorgeous clothes, who were running out of breath, entered Chongxi Hall one after another.

"Master...it's over, it's all over..." Ning Liu, the representative sent by the Ning family to the capital to plan this matter, was now kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly.

Li Cong, the illegitimate son of the Longxi Li family, also stepped forward and asked anxiously, "What exactly happened? Didn't they arrange for many secret guards and death squads for you?"

"Where is Mr. Cui? Where is our master?" The housekeeper of the Cui family who was responsible for waiting for news also stepped forward anxiously.

Several other noble families also rushed forward to ask about the details.

"You bastard, stop crying and tell me..." Ning Yuanting shouted angrily, and Ning Liu shuddered immediately.

"We were waiting for news in the back hall when Mr. Cui went to the front hall to question Princess Zhaohua. Everything was fine. We had even given Princess Zhaohua the Qi-dissolving powder in advance..."

"But for some reason, in just half an hour, a drastic change occurred. It was said that Princess Zhaohua single-handedly wiped out all the death squads and secret guards, and even Mr. Cui was not spared..."

"Afterwards, the Imperial Guards searched the mountain, and we escaped through the secret passage first..."

Ning Liu's words were disjointed, but basically made sense. Cui's housekeeper immediately flew into a rage, "Impossible! Not only did we jointly dispatch hundreds of secret guards, but we also joined forces with the An Wang Mansion's death squad, adding one more person. Among them was a seventh-rank warrior, Hei Lie..."

"With so many people, you tell me we can't capture a weak woman?"

Ning Liu looked up angrily when he heard the word "weak woman" and said, "What weak woman? She's a female devil!"

"According to the guards at the front hall, Hei Lie collapsed before she could even last ten moves. This shows that her martial arts skills are at least above the eighth rank."

"Furthermore, she possessed a strange power... All the arrows shot at her inexplicably changed direction and headed towards the shooter herself. In just a moment, they fell to the ground..."

what?

Princess Zhaohua is actually an eighth-rank warrior?

This, how is this possible?

Even when several people were shocked that the intelligence report was wrong, suddenly there was another urgent report from outside the door: "Master, Master, something bad has happened..."
