The gray-clad leader, who had been shot through the head, fell sideways into the snowy ground, with brain matter and blood splattering everywhere!
This scene was truly horrifying. Being shot through the head with an arrow was enough to send shivers down one's spine, let alone with a long and heavy red-tasseled spear!
All the gray-clad experts felt as if their heads had been pierced too; a chill ran down their spines, and their whole bodies stiffened.
They had killed countless people but had never witnessed such a method of killing, which was too cruel and too horrifying!
How strong must the killing intent be to shoot such a spear!
Who the hell was it!
Who did it!
Everyone sensed the ominous situation, and a tense and fearful atmosphere suddenly filled the snow-covered official road. Another gray-clad man took over from the previous one, issuing commands.
"Draw your blades! All of you, draw your blades!"
He shouted loudly!
The sound brought everyone back to their senses, and they all unsheathed the scimitars at their waists.
At the same time, the sound of hooves, which seemed to break through mountains and rivers, approached from a distance.
The snowy ground seemed to tremble, and everyone turned to see a young man in green riding a spirited horse, swiftly arriving. In the blink of an eye, ‘he’ reached the group, the horse leaped and flew over the heads of several people!
As soon as the horse's hooves touched the ground, the young man extended ‘his‘ hand adorned with a protective palm guard, and pulled out the red-tasseled spear that had pierced through the human skull.
Then, with a slight movement of ‘his‘ fingertips, he took off ‘his‘ cloak and, with ‘his‘ other bare hand, covered Mo Qianxue, whose clothes were disheveled!
Mo Qianxue lay in the cold snow, watching as a young man approached on a spirited horse, adorned in fresh attire and without a mask. ‘His’ features were stern, and the prominent birthmark on ‘his’ left cheek, far from being ugly, added a touch of cold and sinister allure.
The young man who exuded a murderous aura covered her with a cloak.
Gu Jiao's horse did not stop. After pulling out the red-tasseled spear, she immediately attacked the remaining five people.
This group of people was not weak. Collectively, they had the strength of Tian Lang. contemporary romance
However, Gu Jiao was not the Gu Jiao from two months ago, her strength had recovered a bit. Even if she fought Tian Lang again, she would not be as pitiful as last time.
Gu Jiao dismounted, and the two sides fiercely engaged in combat.
One of the gray-clad men suddenly remembered something, pointing at Gu Jiao and said, "It’s her! She's the hostage we want!"
Gu Jiao tightly gripped the red-tasseled spear and coldly said, "Come and get me if you can."
The five men attacked Gu Jiao with all their strength.
Surprisingly, Gu Jiao's strength was not as described in the letter. In theory, the combined strength of these five people should have been enough to subdue her, and they even brought an additional expert for insurance.
However, they completely failed to gain the upper hand against her.
Gu Jiao disliked trouble and also disliked flashy attacks.
She was Shadow, known for being bloodthirsty.
Killing moves were her most formidable techniques.
One by one, the gray-clad experts fell, and with Gu Jiao's final thrust, the last gray-clad expert also fell in a pool of blood.
But she didn't kill this one, leaving him with a breath.
Gu Jiao planted the red-tasseled spear in the snowy ground, wrapped Mo Qianxue tightly in her cloak, and lifted her cold and stiff body with both arms.
At that moment, the Ministry of Justice's carriage arrived. Xiao Heng opened the curtain, glanced at Gu Jiao and Mo Qianxue, surveyed the scene, and roughly understood what had happened.
He quickly got off the carriage to avoid suspicion and also called the coachman over.
Gu Jiao carried Mo Qianxue onto the carriage.
Xiao Heng asked through the curtain, "Are you both okay?"
Gu Jiao looked at Mo Qianxue.
Mo Qianxue nodded her head with a pale face, indicating to Gu Jiao that she was okay.
Gu Jiao replied, "Nothing's wrong."
"Your face is covered in blood."
"It’s not my blood."
Xiao Heng's expression eased slightly.
Inside the carriage, Mo Qianxue's body shivered, and a single cloak was evidently not enough to keep her warm.
Gu Jiao took off her winter clothes and gave them to Mo Qianxue.
There was no charcoal brazier inside the carriage, and it was as cold as an ice cellar.
Suddenly, the carriage door was knocked, and then a hand, slender as jade, handed in an official robe and winter clothes.
It was Xiao Heng's.
The Ministry of Justice sent only one carriage, and with Mo Qianxue's current condition, Xiao Heng naturally couldn't join them in the carriage. This meant he had to ride back on horseback.
In this icy and snowy terrain, how could a civilian body withstand it?
Moreover, when entering the city shortly, how could the dignified Ministry of Justice’s official parade himself around in common clothes?
Gu Jiao neither entirely refused nor entirely accepted. She only took the winter clothes and asked Xiao Heng to put back on the official robe.
Gu Jiao got off the carriage and retrieved the red-tasseled spear, saying to Xiao Heng, "By the way, I left one alive. See if you can get any information out of him."
"That one?" Xiao Heng pointed to the gray-clad expert lying alone at the edge. That expert was playing dead, but unfortunately, he couldn't fool Xiao Heng's eyes. "Alright, you go back first. I'll handle the rest."
"Okay." Gu Jiao boarded the carriage again.
Following Xiao Heng's instructions, the coachman sat on the outer seat, turned the carriage around, and headed towards the capital.
Inside the carriage, Mo Qianxue leaned against the wall, gradually recovering body temperature and awareness. She glanced at Gu Jiao, who seemed to be resting with closed eyes, and whispered, "Are you asleep?"
"No." Gu Jiao opened her eyes, calmly looking at her. "How do you feel?"
Mo Qianxue lowered her eyes and whispered, "Like a nightmare."
Gu Jiao extended her hand towards her.
Mo Qianxue understood her intention, slowly raised her hand, and presented her wrist to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao checked her pulse. Judging from the pulse, she found she had suffered some internal injuries, with a significant loss of vitality.
"Do you have any external injuries on your body?" Gu Jiao asked.
"None." replied Mo Qianxue.
That person didn't manage to go all the way.
"How did you come?" Mo Qianxue asked.
"Little Nine brought me." Otherwise, she wouldn't have found the way.
Mo Qianxue opened her mouth, "I mean... weren't you drugged by me? How can you still wake up? Is your tolerance better than Hua Xiyao's? She's known as the best drinker at the Heavenly Music House, and so far, no one has outdrunk her."
Seven-Days Drunken was Hua Xiyao’s exclusive secret concoction, and even she herself could be drugged by it.
Mo Qianxue realized something and widened her almond eyes, "You didn't drink it, did you?"
"...Yeah." Gu Jiao admitted frankly.
