The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack: The Evil King's Doctor Consort's Ent

Chapter 42 Don't Let Her Die

At the order of the governor of Pangzhou, the guards from all directions instantly tightened the encirclement. Gu Lingzhi glanced at Bai Lianchuan, but saw that Bai Lianchuan's face still showed no sign of anxiety.

In her smiling peach blossom eyes, it seemed as if she was waiting for something. Just as the two were about to be captured, a dazzling light suddenly appeared not far away.

The light was truly dazzling.

The entire inky black night seemed to be split in two by a beam of light at this moment.

The explosion was deafening, shaking the entire government office. The fat prefect glanced at the location of the explosion and his face turned pale instantly.

"Quick, come over and take a look!"

The governor of Pangzhou was terrified. Even Bai Lianchuan and Gu Lingzhi abandoned their duties and led their men to run towards that direction at top speed.

Although the two were still being watched, the pressure was greatly reduced. Gu Lingzhi was full of surprise and turned her head to look at the shrewd Bai Lianchuan: "What's going on?"

Bai Lianchuan smiled without saying a word, but he was certain that all of this was arranged by that old fox.

Gu Lingzhi stood behind Bai Lianchuan, the pale moonlight falling on her face, which was still covered by a human skin mask: "Strategist Bai, did you already have a plan to escape?"

Bai Lianchuan shook his head.

"No!"

Gu Lingzhi gritted her teeth: "Then why did you make such a big commotion?"

The entire main hall was blown up. No one knows how Bai Lianchuan did it, even though he had been in the same room with her all day.

Bai Lianchuan smiled and said, "It's so dark, even if the prince came, he wouldn't be able to find us. Of course, I'm just pointing out the way."

Gu Lingzhi rubbed her forehead, feeling her head spinning: "Is your prince directionally challenged?"

She raised her eyebrows, her brows furrowing slightly, and her moonlit eyes scanned her surroundings.

Gu Lingzhi's gaze fell on a low courtyard wall, and she said in a low voice, "It's best to run while it's dark."

Bai Lianchuan nodded, but he was wearing a white outfit that was very conspicuous in the darkness. If he rushed out from here, he would be caught again very quickly.

Gu Lingzhi rummaged through the package she had brought and pulled out a change of military uniform, handing it to him: "Put this on quickly and run away while things are in chaos."

Bai Lianchuan pinched a corner of the clothes with a look of disgust, but seeing Gu Lingzhi's unfriendly expression, he obediently put them on.

By the dim candlelight, Gu Lingzhi said to Bai Lianchuan, "Think of a way to attract the attention of those people outside and let them in."

She weighed the dagger in her hand, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. When Bai Lianchuan saw Gu Lingzhi standing guard behind the door, his gaze became even more inquisitive.

Although he had never seen what Gu Lingzhi looked like before, the current Gu Lingzhi was completely different from the rumored name.

Could it be that she was framed and ended up in such a predicament?

After being glared at fiercely by Gu Lingzhi, Bai Lianchuan quickly regained his composure and cleared his throat: "Run! Get out the window!"

His shout, neither too loud nor too soft, indeed alerted the guards outside the door. Upon hearing that the two were trying to escape, they rushed in without even considering the logic behind the words.

Standing at the door, Gu Lingzhi flipped her wrist and struck the person closest to her.

The thin blade of ink flashed faintly in Gu Lingzhi's eyes. With a swift movement, the person she struck fell silently to the ground.

One strike to kill, one dagger to the throat.

Her movements were quick and precise; from the moment she made the cut to the moment she withdrew it, there was not the slightest hesitation.

Although Gu Lingzhi is indeed a doctor who saves lives and treats illnesses, she is also a soldier, especially in a special forces unit in a special situation.

She's not someone who hasn't killed before; in fact, she's done it very well.

If she can't even protect herself, how can she save others?

The five guards were completely unaware of what was happening, and Gu Lingzhi's attack was so sudden that by the time the man in front reacted, his accomplices behind him were already lying in pools of blood.

Gu Lingzhi covered Mo Chen's neck with one hand, and calmly placed the dagger against his neck.

A hint of helplessness flashed across those eyes that seemed to hold the stars: "I'm sorry!"

Blood exploded and splattered everywhere.

The man died without ever knowing how he was killed by a woman.

When Gu Lingzhi killed someone, she was expressionless, her lips were taut, and even the veins on her forehead were throbbing. She casually grabbed a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the handle of Mo Chen.

The surroundings were silent, and Bai Lianchuan didn't say a word for a long time.

He took in the whole scene before him, and seeing the people whose throats had been slit, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Bai Lianchuan's narrow, fox-like eyes flashed with suspicion, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

He walked up to one of them and said, "It would be easier to leave if you changed into their clothes."

Gu Lingzhi nodded. She didn't bother with anything and simply took off one of the guards' uniforms and put it over her own robe before walking out with Bai Lianchuan.

Because everyone had been drawn away by the explosion, the guards in the courtyard had thinned out, and since the two were wearing each other's robes in the darkness, they went unnoticed.

However, the government office was very large, and it was not easy for the two of them to walk out of the inner hall.

In order to find the more than 1,000 soldiers, Gu Lingzhi and Bai Lianchuan split up and took a detour, eventually ending up in the backyard of the government office.

Suddenly, a woman's voice reached Gu Lingzhi's ears.

That familiar voice, like a hand plucking the strings of a musical instrument, instantly made Gu Lingzhi's thoughts tense.

Her hands clenched unconsciously, and her eyes were slightly bloodshot.

What is Gu Fuling doing here?

Two figures stood by the railing outside a house, their voices echoing eerily in the night: "More trouble than they're worth, they haven't managed to capture anyone in all this time!"

"Your Majesty, please don't be impatient, wait a little longer!"

The two were talking to each other, completely unaware of Gu Lingzhi and Bai Lianchuan hiding in the darkness.

Gu Fuling turned her head, and the moonlight fell on her face. Gu Lingzhi imprinted that face firmly in her mind.

A feeling of hatred was boiling in her heart, and Gu Lingzhi had an impulse to rush up and tear that woman to pieces.

However, she managed to suppress this impulse.

She understood that these were all intense feelings of resentment that the original owner had developed. Now that the enemy was right in front of her, how could she possibly hold back?

Gu Lingzhi took a deep breath, one hand covering her chest, and leaned against the wall as she continued to listen to Gu Fuling speak.

"I had already brought the Emperor's edict to interrogate that wretch, but I didn't expect her to die first, which ruined my plan."

The person dressed as a maid nodded, "She was lucky to die a more comfortable death."

Gu Lingzhi knew perfectly well that the person Gu Fuling was referring to was herself.

She slowly closed her fingers, leaving a deep mark on her palm. She clenched her teeth slightly, and the cold glint in her eyes grew stronger.

Gu Fuling seemed to sense something.

She suddenly looked in the direction where Gu Lingzhi was hiding, but the place was completely clean, without a trace of her.

The maidservant with a sword at her waist quickly drew her sword and stood guard beside Gu Fuling. A sound of a pebble falling to the ground came from the sound, and the maidservant with the sword chased after it.

Gu Lingzhi's figure appeared behind Gu Fuling like a ghost.

Gu Fuling stiffened and tried to back away, but Gu Lingzhi grabbed her shoulder.

"who?"

She never expected that there would be an assassin attack inside the seemingly impregnable prefectural government office. Gu Fuling's arrival here was kept very secret, so she didn't have many guards with her and never thought that her life would be threatened.

Gu Lingzhi suppressed the murderous intent in her heart, wanting to just drop the dagger and end this woman's life.

But she couldn't. She and Bai Lianchuan had no way to leave this place on their own. However, if she could take Gu Fuling hostage, the success rate would double.

"Third Prince's Consort, I apologize for the inconvenience, but I'll have to trouble you to come with us."

Gu Lingzhi changed her voice and whispered in Gu Fuling's ear.

Gu Fuling was tense all over, but on the surface she remained calm and composed. If Gu Lingzhi hadn't really understood the reborn heroine's personality, she would probably have believed that she had already complied.

"Release my lady at once, or I'll kill him!"

A sharp glint ripped through the night sky. Gu Lingzhi was startled upon hearing this and looked at Bai Lianchuan, who had been captured, with slight surprise.

As expected of the strategist Bai, he was a scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken; he was actually caught even in this situation.

Gu Lingzhi was speechless, but her tone was even more forceful than the other party's: "Killing him is fine, his life is worthless, but what if I drew a knife on your Empress's face?"

Gu Lingzhi was absolutely the originator of threatening people.

She had already done this many times in just a few days since she arrived.

The maid was indeed stunned, her eyes flickering. When Gu Fuling heard that Gu Lingzhi was going to disfigure her, she subconsciously touched her cheek.

A venomous glint flashed in her eyes as she softly asked, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Lingzhi grabbed Gu Fuling's sleeve, and the dagger at her neck moved a little closer. But at that moment, several dark figures suddenly flew down from the darkness.

The wind howled, and something flew straight toward Gu Lingzhi.

She was already wary of her surroundings, and the moment she heard the noise, she instinctively grabbed Gu Fuling.

"what!"

The screams were earth-shattering.

Gu Fuling's voice made Gu Lingzhi's head ache. When she came to her senses, she saw blood dripping from Gu Fuling's cheek, leaving a deep wound.

Gu Fuling covered the wound below her eye with one hand, feeling so painful she almost collapsed to the ground. The moment she lowered her head, Gu Lingzhi's wrist went numb.

She inadvertently loosened her grip, and Mo Chen fell to the ground.

The silver swords wielded by the other two men in black flashed like lightning, aiming straight for Gu Lingzhi.

She rolled away to dodge one of the swords, but another sword tore her clothes at the shoulder.

Gu Fuling, who was still covering her face not far away, said in a sharp voice: "Don't let him die!"
