The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1274

Chapter 1274: 620 Tianqiong Academy (second update)

Gu Jiao returned to her room after going upstairs.

This little incident didn’t affect Gu Jiao much; she waited until the Hai hour to check Gu Yan’s pulse and blood pressure, and the values hadn’t worsened significantly.

Afterward, she went to rest.

But unexpectedly, a bit of an emergency occurred at the post station in the middle of the night—a group of thieves had shown up.

On their journey, they had encountered no shortage of thieves, including horse bandits and mountain robbers—Gu Jiao was no stranger to this. As long as they didn’t bother her, she couldn’t be bothered to take action.

The defense of the post station was not weak; even though the thieves made great efforts to conceal their presence, they were still detected by the guards, and a fierce battle ensued.

Although the thieves had the advantage in numbers, there were not only official government guards in the post station, but also some guests who had brought their own personal guards. Upon discovering the robbery, they quickly intervened to catch the thieves.

As the conflict unfolded, the enraged thieves resorted to starting fires and taking hostages.

They targeted the quiet chambers as their victims, reasoning that guests who hadn’t emerged despite the commotion were either deeply asleep or too scared to come out—terming such individuals as prime candidates for hostages.

A thief, wielding a large saber, charged towards the room of Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun, but before he could reach the door, he was sent flying out by a kick from Gu Jiao, who had suddenly dashed over!

"Ah—"

The thief screamed as he crashed into a pillar behind him, and was knocked out cold on the spot.

Madame Nan, sensing someone was attempting to ambush Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun, opened her door and came out.

Seeing that Gu Jiao had already dealt with the intruder, she was not surprised.

Gu Jiao said to her, "Madame Nan, go back to sleep, I’ll stand guard."

A group of petty thieves was indeed no match for Gu Jiao’s strength, so Madame Nan returned to her room.

The battle in the courtyard continued unabated, and unexpectedly, the thieves had accomplices lurking outside the post station. Presumably hearing the commotion, dozens of them stormed in with overwhelming momentum.

The post station’s side was now at a disadvantage. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

They saw their money being stolen and even began to steal horses!

Gu Jiao couldn’t allow them to succeed; if they did, what would she use to travel to Shengdu the next day?

Gu Jiao braced herself against the railing and leapt down from the second floor, her foot kicking a horse thief into the air!

Instead of joining the battle in the courtyard, she focused on safeguarding the stable—felling single assailants and pairs with ease.

In the end, it was the thieves in the courtyard who were not subdued by the group of defenders; rather, those dispersed to the stable were all beaten down into the shape of squashed shrimps.
