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

Chapter 48 Shooting and Killing Mo Jiuxiao!

Standing atop the city wall, Gu Lingzhi could only see a dense mass of heads.

Densely packed, whether on hills or plains, under the moonlight, it was all pitch black.

The autumn wind raged, blinding people.

Gu Lingzhi seemed to be unable to see anything at this moment, her gaze was only drawn to a person in silver armor.

The bright moonlight shone down, and only that person's face was highlighted by the thousands of bright torches. Gu Lingzhi felt extremely shocked at this moment.

Although the words couldn't convey the sheer scale of hundreds of thousands of people, Gu Lingzhi could see it at a glance.

A thousand people can fill an entire venue that is several hundred square meters in size; tens of thousands of people can fill it up to the point where you can't see the edge.

The tens of thousands of people guarding the city all looked tense. Murong Zhe stood on the arrow tower and ordered his men to fill the area with light.

Therefore, when Mo Jiuxiao looked up, he could naturally see Gu Lingzhi standing on the edge of the city.

Gu Lingzhi felt a distant gaze about to meet hers, and subconsciously turned her head away.

Although Mo Jiuxiao was the first person she met after transmigrating, she didn't have a deep affection for him yet.

If it weren't for her initial limited abilities forcing her to be restrained by him, she probably would have left the military camp long ago and wouldn't have encountered any unnecessary trouble.

Murong Zhe lowered his eyes and looked down. The city wall was nearly seven or eight zhang high, and a cold wind raged at its top.

He gently raised his hand, and the city gate suddenly opened.

The drawbridge over the moat of Linyang City was lowered, and over a thousand people were escorted out by two teams of men.

The lieutenants behind Mo Jiuxiao were delighted.

"Your Highness, the strategist and the others have come out."

Unfortunately, despite hearing the joyful voices of his deputy and the others, Mo Jiuxiao did not show much happiness on his face. Instead, he continued to look up at Murong Zhe, who was hiding on the high wall.

Both of them were masters of internal energy cultivation and had excellent night vision, so they could easily see each other clearly. As for the person standing next to Murong Zhe, he naturally saw him as well.

Those thousand men successfully rejoined their unit and were heavily protected. However, the soldiers who came later did not show much joy when they saw these people who had escaped.

Instead, they avoided those who came forward to comfort them, all gazing anxiously and worriedly in the direction of the city wall.

"There are still people who haven't come out."

"He's the prince's attendant. What's his name again?"

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening and stared in Bai Lianchuan's direction. The strategist took off his dirty robe, revealing a white long gown underneath that looked as clean as ever.

Bai Lianchuan's lips tightened slightly, and he lowered his eyes, remaining silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but the deputy general standing next to Mo Jiuxiao began to dissuade him: "Your Highness, all the hostages have been rescued now. Let's make our move. We can't let the enemy occupy Linyang City."

Linyang City is a border city in the north, adjacent to Nanhuai.

Originally, the location where everyone was stationed would never allow anyone to launch a surprise attack on Linyang City. However, unexpectedly, a rebellion broke out in the court, and even allowed the Nanhuai army to find the entrance, bypassing them silently and occupying Linyang.

Even if the troops stationed in Linyang City are not many, if they fall into the enemy's trap, it will still be a great loss to the Dingnan Army.

"I will certainly not allow them to return intact."

Mo Jiuxiao's voice drifted out softly, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp gaze was filled with murderous intent.

He slowly raised his head, gripping the long sword in one hand, the back of the blade still stained with dark brown blood.

This group of people had all come here after a fierce battle, and the smell of blood on each of them was extremely pungent. Their eyes were red, and they were just waiting for Mo Jiuxiao's order to charge forward.

Murong Zhe's voice slowly came from the wall: "Mo Jiuxiao, if you withdraw your troops, I will not kill her."

It's impossible to lure people into the capital and trap them in a pre-arranged ambush. Murong Zhe wisely chose to back down.

After all, there are only tens of thousands of people in Linyang City. If he were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people, his fate would not be good.

Gu Lingzhi never expected that Murong Zhe would use her as a hostage.

This amused her: "The Third Prince is probably going to be disappointed, because the dignified Ninth Prince would never give up such a good opportunity to kill you for a mere servant like me!"

Murong Zhe raised his eyebrows and directly pinched Gu Lingzhi's chin.

"is it?"

Gu Lingzhi pushed his hand away and took a step back to the side. However, she was surrounded by Murong Zhe's men. Unless she jumped off the city wall, she would definitely not survive.

However, this city wall is as high as five or six stories; falling down would definitely result in death.

Murong Zhe was still smiling, but his face made his smile look even more eerie.

"Whether you care or not, you'll find out as you read on!"

Gu Lingzhi looked down, but the autumn wind blinded her, so she could only see the figure of Mo Jiuxiao a hundred meters away, and could not see his expression clearly.

Everything around seemed to quiet down, and Gu Lingzhi heard Mo Jiuxiao's voice coming from afar.

Because he used his internal energy, his voice could be heard clearly even from a hundred meters away: "Absolutely impossible!"

A look of surprise crossed Murong Zhe's face.

Gu Lingzhi saw the archers standing behind the army with their bows drawn and arrows nocked not far away. Although she had known this would be the outcome, she was still somewhat disappointed.

Little did she know that the original thousand men in the military camp went completely mad after hearing Mo Jiuxiao issue this order.

"Strategist, we are only alive because of him. We will never abandon our brothers to their deaths."

The cacophony of voices, along with the pronouncements of over a thousand people, drew the attention of those around them.

Bai Lianchuan picked at his ear. "The prince will save them. You just need to wait quietly."

Hearing this, although everyone was still worried, their emotions were calmed down, and they knew that there was no use in being anxious.

She raised an eyebrow at Murong Zhe with a nonchalant expression and said, "See? It seems the Third Prince chose the wrong bet!"

An angry look appeared on Murong Zhe's previously calm face. He pressed the long sword against her neck again: "Since you are no longer useful, you can die now."

Gu Lingzhi stood in front of him, her hands hanging at her sides.

Even though she still had Mo Chen in her hands, she did not resist.

There's no need for it; two fists can't fight four hands, and resisting now will only hasten her death.

She suddenly smiled, her eyes shining brightly, which made Murong Zhe momentarily lose his senses.

He couldn't help but think of Gu Lingzhi's fair skin on the back of her hand, which was completely different from her face.

This led him to a guess.

He touched the tip of his longsword to Gu Lingzhi's chin. The tip of the sword penetrated her skin, causing a stinging pain, but a thin layer of skin appeared where her chin had been cut.

Murong Zhe understood everything in an instant. Seeing the slightly panicked look in Gu Lingzhi's eyes, he suddenly laughed.

"I knew it..."

He didn't elaborate on what he knew.

However, he is now very curious about the face beneath Gu Lingzhi's human skin mask.

Gu Lingzhi wiped away a trickle of blood from her chin, lowered her eyes and said, "Even if the Third Prince finds out, so what? I am just a nobody and not worth your attention. But since no one else can save me, I can only save myself. Didn't His Highness the Third Prince say before that he wanted me to save people? If we're talking about medical skills, I can definitely give you an unexpected surprise."

Humans are born without the possibility of misfortune.

Gu Lingzhi is incredibly grateful that she still has a way to survive in dangerous environments.

"Since I'm going to die anyway, why not make the most of what I have?"

She slightly curved her lips into a smile. Although it was still that ordinary face, it touched Murong Zhe a little.

Gu Lingzhi's words are quite correct.

Murong Zhe pondered for a moment, then turned to his subordinate and said, "Since she's useless, take her away first, and then prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

Murong Zhe wasn't truly afraid of war. After all, he had been leading troops for many years and now knew that this war was inevitable, so he began to prepare again.

Gu Lingzhi lowered her eyes and slowly followed her subordinate down the city wall.

But just then, an arrow flew in from nowhere.

The arrow, whistling through the air, struck Gu Lingzhi's left shoulder before anyone could react.

This scene was so sudden that even Murong Zhe didn't have time to react. Because the arrow was extremely powerful, Gu Lingzhi was knocked back several steps and ended up at the edge of the city wall.

Murong Zhe instinctively reached out to grab her, but Gu Lingzhi lost her footing and fell backward.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

Hiding near the arrow tower not far away, the person who had just shot an arrow from the tower smirked and gently tugged at his cloak.

"My lady will explain this matter to your prince, so there's no need to worry."

"Ah, yes..."

The soldiers guarding the arrow towers nearby were covered in cold sweat.

If that arrow had been aimed at their prince... they probably wouldn't even know how they died.

Fortunately, the other party was also afraid of death and didn't have the courage.

Everything happened in that instant; Murong Zhe's fingertips barely touched Gu Lingzhi's sleeve.

A look of regret appeared on his face, but he wasn't particularly moved.

"Your Highness, look!"

A low shout rang in Murong Zhe's ears. Everyone saw that Mo Jiuxiao, who had been calm and composed and appeared at the forefront of the army, had suddenly spurred his horse into a gallop. His steed was like a madman, and in no time, it had already rushed into the range of the arrow tower above.

Murong Zhe naturally knew how formidable Mo Jiuxiao was, and had no idea what had gotten into him. However, how could he possibly let such a good opportunity slip by?

As Mo Jiuxiao's figure drew closer and closer, the scene unfolded before them.

In just a few breaths, they were almost at the foot of the city wall.

A faint, cold smile flashed across Murong Zhe's lips. As long as Mo Jiuxiao died, the army of over 100,000 would naturally collapse, making his trip worthwhile.

"Release the arrows and kill Mo Jiuxiao!"
