Ch 17: I’ll Go With You
Seeing two of his men killed, and a hunter-like man appearing, blocking in front of Su Qingzhi, Liu Nuo’s smile froze.
He had just declared that in the entire Jiang Prefecture, no one dared to interfere with the Liu family’s affairs, and yet someone had stepped forward to help her.
His expression darkened, and he said coldly, “A clueless fool. Kill him.”
Liu Nuo said so much, his purpose was to destroy her belief, to plunge her into an abyss of despair, and to plant the idea in her heart that the Liu family was unshakeable.
In the future, even if she were to gain the favor of the Fifth Prince, she would still be fearful of the Liu family, and would not dare to easily become their enemy.
Who knew, he would be disrupted by a hunter who appeared out of nowhere, who also killed his men.
Just looking at Su Qingzhi’s expression at this moment, he knew that all his words just now had been completely wasted.
A murderous intent boiled in Liu Nuo’s heart.
The eight men behind him raised their whips, spurred their horses across the stream, drew their weapons, and with the sound of horses neighing, charged towards the hunter.
The morning sun shone obliquely through the branches and leaves, illuminating the weapons, reflecting a cold light.
Su Qingzhi and her little maidservant watched as the eight knights ferociously charged towards Gu Yang, their two hands tightly clasped together, their hearts in their throats.
The next moment, they only felt a flash of golden light before their eyes.
They saw splashes of blood erupt, and the Liu family’s eight knights falling from their horses one after another.
A thick, b*oody smell rushed over, almost making Su Qingzhi vomit.
This was the first time she had seen Gu Yang make a move, and she hadn’t even seen his movements clearly, she only felt his figure flash, and eight people were dead.
She had never seen such fast saber techniques, so decisive and clean in killing, with a raise and fall of the blade, eight people were killed. This brought her a huge shock.
“Blood Killing Saber Technique!”
There was also a middle-aged man beside Liu Nuo, who recognized the saber technique used by the hunter at a glance, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes, “Are you a member of the military?”
This Blood Killing Saber Technique has always been circulated in the military, and only officers of the rank of a school can be taught it.
Either, this person is from the military.
Or, he comes from a military family. He is definitely not an ordinary hunter.
People from the military are never easy to provoke, and if one is not careful, one might provoke those few Gods of Slaughter in the military.
Only to hear that person say calmly, “What, are you afraid?”
This time, Liu Nuo spoke, “Liu Nuo of the Ba Prefecture Liu Family. May I know how to address you?”
His attitude at this moment was completely different from before.
The other party had displayed enough strength, and the saber technique he used was a military secret, forcing him to be cautious. He wanted to figure out the other party’s background.
“Gu Yang.”
Liu Nuo’s gaze sharpened, “Is it the Gu family of Yun Prefecture, or the Gu family of the Divine Capital?”
In the world, the two most famous Gu families, one is in Yun Prefecture, and the other is in the Divine Capital.
The Gu family of Yun Prefecture has been passed down for thousands of years, and is a first-class prominent family.
The Gu family of the Divine Capital has countless ties to the Gu family of Yun Prefecture, and is one of the founding meritorious families of the Great Zhou, and is the hereditary Marquis Wu’an. The current Marquis Wu’an is also the world-renowned Spear God.
No matter which one it is, they are existences that the Liu family would not dare to offend easily.
That person avoided answering, and only said, “I’m taking these two women away.”
Liu Nuo stared at him for a while, and shook his head, “That won’t do, she is someone the Fifth Prince wants.”
That person seemed to sigh, “Then there’s nothing to talk about.”
Liu Nuo was still somewhat wary of this person, and said, “Why would you make an enemy of my Liu family and the Fifth Prince for a woman? There are many women in the world, you must not misjudge the situation.”
“Make your move.”
Gu Yang was too lazy to say more.
There are many women in the world, but there probably wouldn’t be a second person who would give him thirty thousand taels.
……
◈◈◈
Su Qingzhi, who was on the side, heard Liu Nuo mention the Fifth Prince, her eyes fixed on Gu Yang, but she saw that there was not a trace of hesitation on his face, and the words “Make your move” showed his unwavering determination.
Her nose tingled, and her vision blurred. She unconsciously used force in her hand, making Zhi Xing’s hand hurt. She was still oblivious.
◈◈◈
“Uncle Tong.”
Liu Nuo said to the middle-aged man beside him, solemnly, “I’ll leave it to you.”
The middle-aged man stepped forward, the long sword in his hand already unsheathed, pointing at Gu Yang, and said, “Zhang Tong, I would like to learn your Blood Killing Saber Technique.”
Gu Yang sensed the familiar aura on the other party’s body, and knew that this person was the Sixth-Rank Martial Artist who had left a psychological shadow on him.
In the previous simulated life, although he had resolved his inner demon and broken through to the Sixth-Rank Realm, he still hadn’t been able to win against this person.
Now, he had experienced another simulated life, gained nearly ten years of hard training, and learned a powerful saber technique like the Blood Killing Saber Technique, and finally had the confidence to fight him.
“Stop!”
Just as the battle was about to break out, a woman’s voice rang out.
The three of them turned their heads to look, and the one who spoke was Su Qingzhi, she pushed away Zhi Xing in front of her, walked out, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, “Liu Nuo, I’ll go with you.”
This sentence was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“Miss—”
The little maidservant Zhi Xing was stunned.
In the biting cold wind, Su Qingzhi’s frail body stood upright, she did not look at Gu Yang beside her, and said resolutely, “This is a matter of my Su family, it has nothing to do with anyone else.”
Liu Nuo was first shocked, then overjoyed, and said, “It’s naturally for the best that Miss Su has come to her senses.”
That Sixth-Rank Martial Artist, Zhang Tong, also looked at her with a rather complicated gaze, he could naturally see that this Miss Su did not want Gu Yang to lose his life for her.
One was willing to make an enemy of the Liu family and the Fifth Prince for her, without hesitation.
One was unwilling to let the other party lose his life, and would rather sacrifice herself.
Such feelings, even a person with a heart of stone like him, could not help but be moved by them.
“Miss—” The little maidservant Zhi Xing looked at her own miss, already crying uncontrollably.
Su Qingzhi knew that too many people had died because of her. Her parents, her entire family, had died because of her.
She didn’t want anyone else to die for her!
She would bear her own misfortune.
She would also avenge her great hatred herself!
Su Qingzhi thought of how he had spent the entire night last night keeping her warm, her heart was filled with complicated emotions, and she said softly, “Brother Gu, your kindness, I will repay in the next life…”
“Idiot.”
At this time, Gu Yang’s voice rang out, followed by a gust of wind.
With a loud bang, her eardrums were in pain.
Su Qingzhi turned around abruptly, and saw that Gu Yang had already engaged with Zhang Tong, and the gust of wind he brought, almost made her unable to open her eyes.
Her heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by a large hand, and she was so nervous that she couldn’t breathe.
After a moment, everything calmed down.
She opened her eyes and looked, and saw Gu Yang standing there, covered in blood, and her mind buzzed, almost making her faint.
