The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1022

Chapter 1022: 487 Massacre in All Directions (Part 2)_3

Wielding this red-tasseled spear in battle, I bet it could uglify a bunch of enemies to death!

Thankfully, she had wrapped the red-tasseled spear in cloth all the way here, or else Gu Chengfeng seriously suspected he might have been blinded by its ugliness halfway through.

"I already told you that you can’t handle it." Gu Jiao, ignoring the disdain and shock in Gu Chengfeng’s eyes, grabbed the red-tasseled spear and led the horse forward.

"I only can’t handle it because I’m injured." Gu Chengfeng decided to reclaim some of his male pride, "Otherwise, just wait until I’m healed and you’ll see if I can handle it or not!"

Gu Jiao didn’t look back, waving her hand dismissively, "You can talk about that after you’ve healed."

Gu Chengfeng followed, his face dark, leading his own horse.

The two seemed to enter a vast primeval forest, but soon crossed through the woods.

"There’s a house over there." Gu Chengfeng said.

"Mm." Gu Jiao nodded, as she also saw it; not quite a common villager’s home, it seemed more like a hunter’s lodge by the forest’s edge.

They led their horses over.

Even injured, Gu Chengfeng instinctively pulled Gu Jiao behind him and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Gu Jiao said, "No need to knock, there’s no one inside."

Gu Chengfeng frowned oddly, "You can tell again?"

Does this girl have dog ears or what?

Gu Jiao pushed the door open and walked in; it was a small wooden cabin with two rooms, a main room connected to a bedroom, and a simple stove and cooking utensils in a corner of the main room.

There was a bit of frozen leftover food in the pot.

In this climate, the frozen leftovers wouldn’t spoil for a month or two, so it was hard for Gu Jiao to determine how many days old the leftovers were.

However, judging by the dust on the stove and bed, someone had lived in the house within the last three days.

It was uncertain whether the owner had gone out or had been captured by Chen Country’s army or remnants of the former dynasty to be conscripted.

Gu Jiao said to Gu Chengfeng, "Let’s stay here for the night."

Gu Chengfeng looked around and sighed, "Looks like that’s the only option."

The frontier was too cold; the three of them would surely freeze to death outside.

The two bedchambers were arranged at right angles to each other, one against the inner wall and one against the side wall. Gu Jiao placed Lord Hou on the bed by the inner wall.

Then she pointed to the other bed and told Gu Chengfeng, "Lie down."
