Coming Kingly Son-in-Law: Don't Provoke the First Daughter - Chapter 176

Chapter 176 A Man of His Own
Shen Zhongbai is Gu Zhiying’s only man, but Gu Zhiying is not his only woman, in this balance of feelings, there is no balance, there is bound to be one side to be hurt.

She reached out and knocked Shen Qiangwei’s hand away, looking at that arrogant appearance of Shen Qiangwei, her heart was surprisingly incomparably calm.

She brought this on herself!

Shen Qiangwei didn’t expect Gu Zhiying to not yell like she did before, instead she calmly stood up, reached out and patted her clothes, and slowly walked away.

Such panache made Shen Rongwei’s kind of overbearing threat a bit funny, as if she was a patient, could that kind of painless threat be considered a threat?

With a somewhat disheveled grunt, she turned away as well.

It was night, the entire main street of the capital was lit up, and Gusu Liang and Court Lady Gu’s horses were very close together.

Gusu Liang turned her head to look around, always feeling that something wasn’t right, as she stepped forward to stop Court Lady Gu’s horse, she asked softly, “Miss, have you discovered that there are people following us?”

Court Lady Gu wasn’t a martial arts practitioner, and basically had no sense of other people’s stalking or sneak attacks, but she almost immediately thought of what had happened when she had been assassinated earlier.

That’s being targeted yourself when you’re completely defenseless, even when you’re drunk.

If there hadn’t been people from the Yew Dream Pavilion at that time, she would have inevitably died right there.

“We can’t go, we need to find an inn close by to rest down, I was also assassinated last time.” With that, Court Lady Gu turned her horse around and prepared to go to a roadside inn.

Gusu Liang frowned, as if she felt that if she didn’t solve these men who were following her, something was bound to happen in the future, these people’s origins were not simple, and their purpose was to the point of being very simple, anyway, they just wanted to kill Court Lady Gu.

As long as it’s a no-win situation, it will continue.

Gusu Liang followed Court Lady Gu to this roadside inn, where there were no longer any people, and the junior leaned against the doorway in a drowsy state.

When he raised his eyes and saw Court Lady Gu and Gusu Liang, he seemed to be flabbergasted for a moment before welcoming them and saying, “Two girls, what are you doing? But you know that there are mountain thieves on this road nowadays, and there are a lot of them lately, and it’s even more dangerous to be as good-looking as you are.”

Court Lady Gu walked carelessly to the side of Xiao Er and bent down, “As long as your inn is not a dark store, it is a shelter in this dark night.”

As if the store assistant understood what Court Lady Gu meant, he found a guest room for the two to rest.

That night was uneventful. Early in the morning of the second day, the two continued on their way, and it took them a morning to travel to Hongzhou.

Between the capital and Hongzhou were battered mountain ranges, which stretched on and on as if they were a huge, winding dragon.

Although it looks as if there is no one living in it in general, but because it is a major communication road, there are still a lot of people living at the foot of the mountain, and there are quite a number of barefoot doctors picking medicines on top of this mountain.

When Court Lady Gu and Gusu Liang reached the circling mountain road, a group of people suddenly appeared, this pair of people dressed in black, with brightly shining machetes in their hands, in a manner that they were about to hack the people in front of them to death.

When Gusu Liang and Court Lady Gu’s horses stopped, Gusu Liang turned his head to look at Court Lady Gu, and then said somewhat helplessly, “Miss, it looks like they’re bound to take your life today, how do you see this?”

She sat on the back of the horse, drew a knife from between her own legs, crossed it in front of her, and said with a laugh, “The so-called life and death have their own destinies and riches, today if we win we win, and if we die we die.”

Looking at Court Lady Gu’s appearance, Gusu Liang’s heart was silent, she was not giving up hope for life, she just felt helpless against the person who wanted her life, because she knew that the other party was not only a person with connections, but even a person with power.

But she couldn’t actually think of who this person was, and who the hell had tried to kill her over and over again?

The men in black didn’t even give time for the two to react, and with a low growl, they rushed up, the leader’s face was wrapped in a black step, making it impossible to see his face.

Gusu Liang drew out in an instant as if a sharp sword had come out of its sheath, and his entire body blocked in front of Court Lady Gu’s face as he fought to the death.

But this time, the visitors were bound to be even more powerful people, these people had a hostile aura on them, as if they wanted to take revenge for the people who had died before, they were red-eyed, waving the big swords in their hands, and came towards Court Lady Gu with no intention of losing their lives.

This time the people’s martial arts skills are obviously also more powerful, one of them entangled Gusu Liang, the rest of the people gradually surrounded towards the court of Gu Qiang, Gusu Liang two fists can’t beat four feet, was entangled by the people in front of him very difficult, a moment in front of him kicked down to the ground, turned his head to see, just to see that those black-clothed people seem to be a little bit dare not to lay a hand on the court of Gu Qiang like, are surrounded by the court of Gu Qiang.

At this time is a good opportunity to big, Gusu Liang from the back and kicked out several people, then flew up, grabbed the hands of Gu Qiang.

Gusu Liang was wearing a white robe, when he flew up, his movements could be described as dashing and beautiful, Court Lady Gu was also wearing the same white robe, the two of them flew up, like two white butterflies dancing, the look was very nice.

These black-clothed men knew that they had gone off the deep end, although it was true that Court Lady Gu’s face was very pretty, but after all, she was the enemy who had killed her brothers, and she must avenge her brothers today.

These people screamed and rushed up once again, just at this time, from the hill behind Court Lady Gu and Gusu Liang, a figure in purple clothes swooped down, with a faint smell of medicinal herbs, that person swept with her own sleeve, then a lot of silver needles appeared from her sleeve, stabbing at the body of those people, those people fell straight down, her sleeve was very long, like a water sleeve, Court Lady Gu’s jaws dropped as she looked on, the first reaction of her heart was not that this woman in purple clothes saved her life, but how many good things were hidden in this sleeve. The first reaction of her heart was not that the woman in purple had saved her life, but how many good things were hidden in the sleeves of the woman in purple.

Not long after, these black-clothed men were all lying on the ground, covering their bodies babbling, obviously no longer having the strength to do anything.

The woman in the purple dress wore her long hair and turned her head to look at Court Lady Gu with a smile on her face.

Court Lady Gu saw that this woman was a good-looking woman with a soft face and a very good temperament.

After looking Court Lady Gu up and down for a moment, she said, “I hope you are good people.”

Court lady Gu felt that the way this girl spoke was very funny, could there be any bad person in this world who would say that they were bad?

“It’s just that I felt uncomfortable in my heart watching so many of them bullying you two little girls, but I’m a practitioner of medicine, and a healer’s heart can’t kill with his hands, so I just paralyzed those people’s bodies.” The woman in purple then walked behind Court Lady Gu, flew up a tree, and from the tree, she re-carried her medicine basket to her back, and was out of shadow in an instant.

Even Court Lady Gu didn’t have time to ask the woman’s name before the woman disappeared.

Luckily, Court Lady Gu was not an obsessive woman, and this woman in purple who saved people without asking for anything in return should not have told herself her name either.

“Some handsome then.” Gusu Liang then walked to the middle of the horses and brought the two horses over, handing them to Court Lady Gu, signaling for Court Lady Gu to hurry up and leave this place of wrongdoing.

The two men spurred their horses and were soon down the hill.

Since I’ve already been to Hongju before, it’s kind of a breeze if I go back this time.

Court lady Gu stopped outside the poison doctor’s courtyard, which was built on Pungshan Mountain and was very grand in scale, so you could tell that the poison doctor had gotten a lot of money from his craft over the years.

Arriving at the courtyard where the Poison Doctor stayed exclusively, pushing the door in, the Poison Doctor turned his head to look at Court Lady Gu to a very surprised look.

When he put down the work he was doing, he said with a careless smile, “The fact that you came to me means that the man did save you?”

Court Lady Gu sat down on the floor, her face pale.

According to the poison doctor’s meaning, it is estimated that the words that he drove himself out before to specifically speak with Shen Qianshan was the matter of using the blood of his heart as a guide for the medicine, such an important thing that he did not know, and all these memories that she got were all about Ye and Gu Zhiying’s secrets. But these things really need Shen Qianshan’s blood to change?

“You knew this already?” Court Lady Gu then asked.

After the poison doctor washed his hands and wiped them clean with a towel, he sat down in front of Court Lady Gu and said, “That’s natural, of course the choice of letting you regain your memories is in your hands, but the right to execute it is not, and I am even aware of the fact that that man is physically unable to do anything right now?”

Court Lady Gu’s eyes flickered, reddening in that instant, and her entire body pursed its lips and stopped speaking.

“Girl I do want to know, what exactly are the memories you’re presuming to recover that require that man to put his life on the line to help you, could it be that the secret you’re keeping in your body is actually about an entire country?” The poison doctor then said.

Court Lady Gu smiled lightly and said slowly with her head lowered, “He probably hoped that after I regained my memory, I would remember how much I used to love him.”

The Poison Doctor and Gusu Liang were both stunned, then they looked meaningfully at Court Lady Gu, but Court Lady Gu just smiled lightly, her eyes flickering, but in the end, she held on and didn’t shed a tear.

The Poison Doctor nodded his head, seeming to finally understand.

He got up and turned his head to search carefully in the medicine cabinet behind him. Finally wrapping some medicines in paper, he said to Court Lady Gu while moving, “I’ve already heard from your brother about your matter, the medicine that can save that man I have here is quite complete, but as you know, there is one of these medicines that I don’t have here, this medicine is commonly known as the Blood Returning Grass, of course the name isn’t important, there are quite a few other names for it, and it’s on the tip of the tallest mountain in our Hongzhou where it can only be find it, you can go to Xiao Han Taki’s her house to look for it, but this woman’s temper is not good, I don’t know if I can see you guys.”
