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

Chapter 6 I Can Save Him

Just as the man was about to grab her, Gu Lingzhi swept her legs in a flash. The man was walking towards her and didn't notice Gu Lingzhi's movement at all.

The man cried out and fell to the ground with a thud. Taking advantage of this moment, Gu Lingzhi dodged to the side and nimbly drew the dagger from his waist.

Everything happened in a split second, leaving the man no time to react.

Those long, narrow phoenix eyes, which were originally full of allure, suddenly flashed with a dark light. Gu Lingzhi flipped her wrist and stopped the dagger directly at his throat. Her tone was full of threat: "Don't move. If I can get out of here safely, I will let you go."

The thin blade pressed against Liu San's vulnerable neck, and the icy touch sent shivers down his spine.

Liu San felt the chill on his neck and trembled all over. He was no longer the imposing man he had been earlier: "Okay... please don't kill me. I was just following orders. I didn't mean to hurt you."

Gu Lingzhi knew perfectly well who had sent Liu San, but she didn't have time to listen to his explanation. She grabbed his clothes and pulled him up.

Liu San was short and small, so Gu Lingzhi easily took him hostage. The group of women outside, seeing Gu Lingzhi, who had been taken inside, walk out neatly dressed and holding a weapon, looked at her with fear and surprise.

Gu Lingzhi merely glanced around indifferently, then forcefully pushed Liu San out of the military tent.

As soon as the two stepped out of the tent, a group of patrolling guards quickly gathered around, each with a wary glint in their eyes.

The sound of gongs and drums suddenly erupted, seemingly shaking the entire camp. One of the men, emboldened, approached Gu Lingzhi with a long sword and shouted sharply, "Who are you?"

Gu Lingzhi slightly curved the corners of her lips, but did not answer the other person's question.

"Get out of the way right now, or I'll kill him."

As she spoke, she exerted a little force on her hand, pressing it against Liu San's neck and instantly leaving a bloody mark.

Liu San felt a sharp pain in his throat, and the feeling of death approached in that instant. He quickly shouted, "Get out of the way! Quickly!"

The person she was holding hostage held some status among these people, because the moment he uttered those words, the encirclement began to expand.

Gu Lingzhi pursed her lips tightly, her nerves instantly adjusted to their optimal state; she couldn't miss a single movement from the other party.

In the distance, archers drew their bows and nocked arrows. Gu Lingzhi's throat bobbed slightly, and she tightened her grip on the dagger.

Although she appeared calm and composed, Gu Lingzhi's palms were actually sweaty, and her fingers holding the dagger were unsteady.

If it were based on her previous physical condition, she wouldn't have had to worry about such a minor setback. Even if she stood for two days and two nights straight, she could still hold the scalpel steadily.

Gu Lingzhi gritted her teeth in secret, her face pale and her legs still weak.

If it weren't for last night...

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She wanted nothing more than to chop that man into pieces.

The two sides remained deadlocked. Gu Lingzhi walked step by step towards the outside of the tent. The sunlight shone on her pale face, making her squint slightly.

The weather in early autumn is hot and dry, and the midday sun makes people dizzy.

Gu Lingzhi felt the scorching autumn wind, and every pore on her body opened slightly.

But at that moment, her body stiffened.

"Grab her! Grab her!"

A woman's scream came from behind her. Gu Lingzhi turned her head and looked down, and saw a haggard-looking woman with a deep and vicious look in her eyes, hugging her leg with all her might.

Gu Lingzhi had planned everything meticulously, but she never expected that those callous women behind her would do such a thing.

Perhaps their long-standing servility changed their thinking, or perhaps their inherent jealousy exposed the evil in their hearts.

My shoulder was bumped hard.

Because his arm went out of control during the impact, the sharp dagger slit Liu San's throat in an instant.

Everyone was stunned, even Gu Lingzhi was taken aback. She kicked the woman who was grabbing her away and tightly covered his throat with her hand.

Although Liu San deserved to die, if she killed him in front of so many people, she would also die.

Gu Lingzhi wouldn't impulsively risk her life. She turned her head, sweat beading on her forehead, and looked around: "Help me prepare things to save people."

No one moved.

The blood flowed faster and faster. Liu San slipped and fell to the ground against the military tent, his eyes wide open, clearly having difficulty breathing.

The wound is in the throat; if it's not treated properly, this person is doomed.

The woman who had been kicked to the side saw Gu Lingzhi squat down and crawled over again to try to stop her. The soldiers around her didn't even think about saving her; all of them instantly pressed their swords against Gu Lingzhi's neck.

Gu Lingzhi was furious.

She was trying her best to save people, and these people not only didn't help, but also caused trouble.

She glanced around, her voice urgent: "Get me some needles, thread, and hemostatic medicine. I need to stitch up his wound. Do you really want to just watch him die?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a man dressed differently from the soldiers around him walked in from behind.

"what happened?"

"General Zhao, a military prostitute has committed murder. It was her! Not only did she kill, but she also tried to escape!"

Gu Lingzhi opened her eyes wide: "I didn't kill anyone!"

"No? General, look at Liu San, he's dying..."

The man called General Zhao had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His face looked somewhat honest, and there was a sense of righteousness between his thick, dark eyebrows.

He strode over to the person lying on the ground, not even bothering to look at Gu Lingzhi, and immediately shouted, "Where's the army doctor? What are you all standing here for?"

"Someone has already gone to call them; they should be here soon!"

The crowd was in chaos, and a circle of over a hundred people parted to create a path.

An elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor walked in, his hands trembling, carrying a medicine box.

A long sword was held to Gu Lingzhi's neck, and the people stood there, waiting for someone to deal with her, the murderer.

The old man examined Liu San's wound.

"General, this man is doomed. I cannot bring him back to life."

Gu Lingzhi's lips tightened slightly as she watched the old doctor's expression. She hadn't expected the medical skills here to be so backward.

"He's not dead, he can still be saved!"

She suddenly spoke, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around her.

The old doctor's eyes widened. "These three knife wounds are all on the heart. Even if a celestial being were reincarnated, he couldn't be saved. You're such a young girl, yet you've been so ruthless!"

Gu Lingzhi pursed her lips and lied through her teeth. Everyone clearly saw that it was an accidental injury, but no one spoke up for her.

That's normal, since she did take someone hostage.

Gu Lingzhi stared intently at the old doctor: "I can save him!"

These words, spoken by Gu Lingzhi, left everyone present feeling incredulous.

Suddenly, a soldier who had been standing not far from Liu San thrust his sword forward, about to pierce her body without any mercy.

Gu Lingzhi looked at him, her pupils shrinking.

The longsword hurtled toward her heart with lightning speed, carrying an icy chill, but just as the tip pierced her clothes, it fell to the ground with a thud.

The man in front of him clutched his wrist and cried out in surprise.

Everyone turned to look behind them in an instant.
