âSo annoying!â
Prince Xinhai grabbed a cloth and shoved it into Gufengâs mouth.
Gufeng lay on the ground, his eyes wide open, making muffled noises.
Overjoyed, Prince Xinhai went to Jiang Ning, gazing at her with a besotted expression, his voice trembling slightly, âPrincess Consort, do you really agree to obey me?â
âWell, as long as you donât hurt Gufeng.â
âOf course not. As long as youâre with me, I will grant you anything, even give you the entire Silla!â
âThen let him go first.â Jiang Ning jerked her chin towards Gufeng.
Gufeng, with eyes full of fury, desperately shook his head at Jiang Ning.
Prince Xinhai contemplated for a moment and then shook his head, âNo, I canât let him go now. After all, I donât know whether the Princess Consort is truly with me or just for making use of me.â

âAlright.â Jiang Ning showed nonchalance. âThen wait until youâre satisfied and then let Gufeng go.â
âNo problem with that.â
Prince Xinhai looked at her.
Jiang Ningâs eyes became cold, and she suddenly raised her unlocked left hand. The golden hairpin flashed, and she fiercely stabbed towards Prince Xinhaiâs neck.
Although Prince Xinhai was blinded by lust, he had martial arts skills.
He dodged hurriedly.
The golden hairpin grazed his neck, leaving a bloody wound. Blood spurted out and splashed onto the carriage.
This time, Prince Xinhai truly felt the threat of death.
Jiang Ningâs strike was ruthless, intent on slicing his throat.
Fortunately, he dodged just in time.
Prince Xinhai covered his neck, and in shock and pain, he slapped Jiang Ning on the head.
Jiang Ningâs entire body flew out, her wrist making a crisp cracking sound.
Her wrist had broken free from the gold chain and was thrown out of the carriage.
Lying on the ground, Jiang Ning felt the blood slowly seeping down from her head, blurring her vision.
In her blurred vision, she saw a galloping black horse.
A figure jumped off the horseâs back, rushed to her side, untied his cloak, and wrapped her tightly, holding her in his arms.
âLi Hongyuanâ¦â Jiang Ning murmured.
âIâm sorry, I came late.â
Li Hongyuan kissed her on the forehead.
Then, Gucheng also landed beside them.
When he saw Jiang Ningâs appearance, the murderous intent in his eyes instantly spread.
âKill them all.â
Li Hongyuan looked up at him. Each word burst from his heart, âNot leaving a single one alive.â
Jiang Ning struggled to turn her head to look at Gucheng and whispered, âDonât kill Guying.â
âTake her back.â
After saying these four words, Gucheng leaped into the air and quickly chased the chariot ahead. Each flash of his Crescent Machete harvested a life of a Silla guard.
Having taken care of all the guards, Gucheng squatted on the roof of Prince Xinhaiâs carriage.
He bent over and slammed his palm down hard, the carriage instantly shattered into pieces.
Wooden debris flew in all directions.
Gucheng spotted Guying at a glance.
He swung his blade to cut the ropes binding Guying, picked him up, and punched him in the face.
Gu Yingâs face suddenly swelled, barely recognizable from his original appearance.
Gu Ying looked up and asked in a slurred voice, âHow is Seventh Miss?â
âYou deserve to die.â Gucheng coldly said, kicked him to the ground, then stepped on Prince Xinhai, and raised the Crescent Blades, crossing them to stab towards Prince Xinhaiâs neck.
Crack!
The blades narrowly missed.
The sharp edges sliced Prince Xinhaiâs neck clean off!
Prince Xinhaiâs eyes widened, gasping his last breath.
Until death, he couldnât believe that the Great Sheng Royal Family would actually dare to kill him.
