The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1021

Chapter 1021: 487 Massacre in All Directions (Part 2)_2

"Charge together! Cut them down!"

Some soldiers echoed with fervor.

Guard Captain Liu took the lead, charging out ahead, and the rest of the soldiers, also fired up by hot blood—mainly because they saw Gu Jiao carrying an injured person on her back and truly thought she was helpless.

Little did they know, Gu Jiao had tied the old marquis tightly to her back with cloth strips. She freed her hands, one clutching a spear tightly, and the other tossing a small backpack to Gu Chengfeng.

Immediately after, she swung her hand backward, throwing a black fire bead, blasting a bloody path!

The huge commotion shocked the entire Governor’s Mansion, even the soldiers of Chen Country stationed outside were alarmed by the series of loud bangs. However, Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng moved extremely quickly. By the time a large army arrived to encircle them, they had already scaled the walls of the Governor’s Mansion and mounted horses hidden nearby in advance.

There were two horses in total. Gu Jiao carried the old marquis on one horse, while Gu Chengfeng rode the other alone.

The three of them quickly disappeared into the streets of Lingguan City.

"My lord!"

Near the Wine Cellar, the seriously injured Guard Captain Liu kneeled to a man in a silver fox cape.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, burly and tall, with a stern visage and deep-set eyes, exuding aristocracy in every move he made.

He didn’t seem angry, but everyone still alive felt as if their throats were being squeezed, struggling to breathe.

The man paid no attention to Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, nor to the other soldiers scattered by the explosion. He simply approached a pile of black fire bead residue, crouching down his noble body, and touched the remains on the ground with slender fingers, a flash of severity and confusion crossing his features.

"Yan Country people?"

He muttered to himself.

Guard Captain Liu didn’t catch what he said, not because the man’s voice was too soft, but because the explosion had messed with Liu’s hearing. He asked, "My lord, should we chase them?"

"Chase," the man in the silver fox cape said indifferently. "We need a captive."

"Ah..." That kid was so formidable; it was already tough to kill him, and now to capture him alive, isn’t that—

Guard Captain Liu wanted to say it was too demanding for these soldiers, but he also knew this lord never took back his words.

They could either obey or die.

The cold wind howled, and snowflakes fell in a flurry.

Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng, braving the snow that pelted their faces, scrambled endlessly through the night, their limbs frozen stiff, their bodies gradually losing sensation.

Ice had formed on Gu Jiao’s long eyelashes, turning into frost.

Yet, it was thanks to this heavy snow that their tracks were hidden.

She lifted her hand, which had regained a bit of sensation, gripped the horse’s reins with one hand, and her Red-Tasseled Spear with the other. _{freёwebnovel.com}
