Gu Ziliang had merely raised his hand and people were put down effortlessly.

The remaining people all moved with hesitation, wanting to go forth but didn’t dare to do so.

Gu Nuo’er covered her mouth and nose tightly.

She looked around with her watery eyes.

Sigh~

There were so many muscular uncles, but they were actually not Tenth Brother’s match.

At this moment, the child looked up and realized that her brother wasn’t covering his mouth and nose.

Weird.

Could it be that Tenth Brother wasn’t afraid of this poisonous powder?

The burly man in the lead narrowed his eyes and began to negotiate with Gu Ziliang.

“Tenth Prince, I’ve heard a lot about you. You have to know that we brought many people here. Today, you definitely won’t be able to protect the little princess and retreat unscathed.

“Why do you have to get yourself covered in wounds yet end up being unable to protect the princess? If we really fight, I’m afraid that we’ll hurt the princess.

“Why don’t you do us a favor and hand Her Highness over to us? At that time, you can also avoid physical pain.”

Gu Ziliang sneered. His ice-blue eyes were as gloomy as when Gu Yihan was about to flare up.

It was like a surging dark sea that hid a terrifying power.

“What a joke. We’re in the capital and a group of evil people actually want me to hand my sister over to you guys?”

Gu Ziliang stared at them. “With me around, don’t even think about taking my sister away.”

At this moment, from the corner of Gu Nuo’er’s watery eyes, she saw a sneaky man in black on the roof at the side.

He held a crossbow and aimed it at Gu Ziliang’s chest.

Without waiting for Gu Nuo’er’s reminder, the arrow shot out and tore through the air with a whoosh.

It pierced through the raindrops. The arrowhead was slender and sharp.

However, Gu Nuo’er only narrowed her eyes slightly. The imposing arrow seemed to have hit a wall and fell to the ground!

The child quietly lay on Gu Ziliang’s shoulder.

There was no way she was going to allow them to hurt her Tenth Brother!

When the burly man saw that the sneak attack had failed, he immediately shouted sternly, “Attack!”

Governor Wei said that they would have to take Princess Yaoguang away at all costs this time.

In that case, even if their comrades die one after another, they have to complete the mission.

Gu Ziliang hugged Gu Nuo’er with one hand and made a defensive posture with the other.

Heavy rain poured down, leaving only the sound of splashing to cover up all the killing intent.

…

In the mountains.

Ye Siming stood in a cave and looked at the dense and deep forest with his hands behind his back.

The city patrols at the side were still puzzled.

Just now, Marquis Yongye had brought them through the forest with ease and found a beast cave to hide from the rain.

The head of the city patrol couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

How did the marquis know that there was a beast cave here?

Could it be that he had come before?

At this moment, Qin Song had already led the elite soldiers and found this place according to the marks Ye Siming had left on the way.

“Marquis! We caught one of them.”

He pushed a middle-aged man who was covered in dust and had clearly taken a few punches to Ye Siming.

The youth placed his hands behind his back and looked at the man coldly.

This middle-aged man was dressed like an ordinary woodcutter.

Ye Siming’s thin lips parted slightly with a hint of coldness. “I’ve never heard of chopping firewood on a rainy day. Who exactly are you?”

The man lowered his head and said honestly, “I’m a mountain bandit nearby and wanted to rob someone on the way. Now that I’ve been caught by the marquis, I’m begging for death.”

Everyone present was stunned.

It was really rare for someone to confess so quickly and want to die.

Ye Siming’s narrow eyes immediately surged with a biting cold wind.

Suddenly!

He drew his sword and waved it, causing a white light to flash.

A deep and long wound appeared on the middle-aged man’s chest.

Some of the blood splattered on Ye Siming’s robe, but he was unmoved.

The man’s eyes were open and he fell heavily to the ground.

The head of the city patrol was shocked. “Marquis, are we not going to interrogate them?”

Ye Siming looked up at the dense forest. “Interrogation? They must be here to lure the tiger away from the mountain and confuse us.”

“Hurry up and follow me back to the city to report this matter to His Majesty.”

“Yes!”
