The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1767

Chapter 1767: 864 Xuanyuan’s Guardian (Part 1)

Don’t just talk about Gu Jiao’s confusion, Tang Yueshan is completely in the dark as well.

This old Ghost King named Xuanyuan Qi clearly belongs to the same alliance as Gu Jiao. The two of them get along quite well; one is the great general of the Xuanyuan Family, the other is the new commander of the Xuanyuan Iron Cavalry.

Ah, by the way, I forgot to mention Xiao Hen is the biological son of the Princess, so this girl and Xuanyuan Qi are actually relatives!

"Hey, hey, hey! You guys stop fighting!"

Tang Yueshan rushed over to stop them, but the second move of Xuanyuan Qi’s attack was too fierce. He acted a step too late, and the power of that move was already falling upon Gu Jiao!

Gu Jiao once again swung the silver spear to defend.

At the instant weapons clashed, sparks were even rubbed out!

Tang Yueshan didn’t know whether to worry about Gu Jiao’s safety or whether the Jin army outside would hear the commotion between them.

"Girl, hold on a little longer, I’ll go have a look!"

Tang Yueshan awkwardly carried the child in his arms, jogging over to the crevice outside the cave, listening carefully to the noise from the Back Mountain.

The patrolling Jin army had already left, probably reassigned to the village to dig tunnels.

He let out a long sigh of relief: "Alright, you two can keep fighting."

Uh, that’s not right!

What fighting!

They’re all on the same side!

Tang Yueshan returned to the cave to mediate.

In that time, Gu Jiao had already exchanged seven or eight moves with Xuanyuan Qi. Except for barely blocking the first two moves, she was knocked down by Xuanyuan Qi with each subsequent attack.

When Tang Yueshan entered, she had just been struck by Xuanyuan Qi and flown across, her body crashing into the rock wall behind her, spitting out blood with a "wow".

Tang Yueshan’s body shook with surprise, no way, this girl hadn’t suffered injuries this severe even during the battle at the border pass in Zhan Country!

Is Xuanyuan Qi serious?

Does he want to kill this girl?

Is he crazy!

Without time to think more, Tang Yueshan’s eyes darkened, he leaped up, raising his palm to attack Xuanyuan Qi!

Xuanyuan Qi glanced out of the corner of his eye, and with a swipe turned around, meeting Tang Yueshan’s palm attack with his own.

The frightening force exploded inside Tang Yueshan like black gunpowder, the child in his arms cried out with a "wah", his gaze shook, hurriedly using half his internal energy to protect the baby in his arms.

Thus, Xuanyuan Qi’s internal energy unstoppable attacked into his elixir field.

He landed on the ground, his chest also pained, spitting out fresh blood.

"Don’t come over." Gu Jiao stood up, supporting herself with the silver spear, with not a hint of fear in her eyes. She casually wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth, the silver spear pointing at Xuanyuan Qi, "I will defeat him myself."

This was probably the most arrogant thing Tang Yueshan had heard in his life.

Defeat this monster Xuanyuan Qi, girl, are you sure you haven’t lost your mind?

Expert techniques have their specialties; Tang Yueshan’s forte is archery. In archery, even ten Xuanyuan Qi’s wouldn’t be his match, but when it comes to one-on-one combat, Tang Yueshan can’t compare to Xuanyuan Qi.

It’s not that Tang Yueshan’s martial arts are lacking, but because Xuanyuan Qi’s martial arts are terrifying.

These years in Ghost Mountain, he has reached an unimaginable realm, even if Long Yi came, it would be impossible to easily harm him.

Gu Jiao gasped for breath, an unyielding gaze like a wolf’s looked at Xuanyuan Qi: "Anyway, I held on for two moves under your hand. Earlier in the graveyard... I couldn’t even take one move. Next, I’m going to be serious, you’d better not—"

Pa!

Before finishing, she was flipped by Xuanyuan Qi’s sword.

Seeing that she was about to crash into the stone wall again, Gu Jiao turned her body, kicked against the stone wall, and with a borrowed leap, attacked Xuanyuan Qi holding the long spear!

From this moment on, she would not defend anymore.

Attack is the strongest defense!

Gu Jiao kept attacking with the spear, maximizing the power of the Xuanyuan Seven Techniques.

Tang Yueshan was dumbstruck, the little girl’s martial arts had improved a lot since the days in Zhan Country.

By the way, what spear technique is this? The power is so great! Even Xuanyuan Qi was forced to retreat!

Xuanyuan Qi only retreated briefly, and in the next moment, launched an even more ferocious attack on Gu Jiao.

All paths of retreat were sealed, if Gu Jiao couldn’t take this move, she would die under his Qingfeng Sword!

But she had already used up the Xuanyuan Seven Techniques, she had no moves left.

Does Xuanyuan Qi really want to kill her?

Or is he just trying to frighten her?

If it’s the latter, he should see she’s reached her limit, it would be impossible for her to take this move of his.

Xuanyuan Qi showed no intention of holding back, his long sword like a rainbow, slashing fiercely towards Gu Jiao’s head!

Gu Jiao sensed the breath of death, she could already see her blood splattering three feet, her head flying off and rolling on the ground.

"Gu Jiaojiao, when you come back, we’ll get married."

She searched everywhere.

"What is missing?" Tang Yueshan asked.

"A small booklet." Gu Jiao replied.

It was intelligence noted from Gongsun Yu’s Study Room, worried she’d forget it. While waiting for Xuanyuan Qi to wake, she had drawn all the images from memory.

It was extremely important, concerning the victory of the entire battle and the lives of tens of thousands of people in Pu City.

"Found it, it’s here!" Gu Jiao bent down, picking up the booklet from between some rocks, flipped through it to ensure no pages were missing, and then with Tang Yueshan, led their respective warhorses to catch up with Xuanyuan Qi.

They entered a relatively tall passageway through a stone door, but it was still narrow, unable to accommodate two people side by side.

Additionally, the Hei Feng King and Hei Fengqi had to lower their heads, otherwise, it was difficult to proceed.

The two horses were not trained to navigate tunnels; inside, the eight-year-old black Fengqi became restless first, and the Hei Feng King also felt discomfort.

Gu Jiao turned, soothingly stroked its mane: "It’s okay, Boss."

The Hei Feng King forced itself to remain calm, Tang Yueshan quietly comforted his warhorse throughout, more than he ever coddled his own son.

After some unknown time of walking, they finally reached the exit.

Xuanyuan Qi pressed a mechanism, the cool moonlight seeped in, the gentle night wind blew across their faces, everyone breathed in the long-awaited fresh air.

The tunnel had vents connecting to the surface, covered by bushes or thorns, but poor airflow made them break out in sweats.

Three people and two horses emerged from the tunnel.

This was an abandoned village, surrounded by mountains on three sides, to the north was the Official Road.

They came out of a cowshed, less than a hundred meters from the Official Road.

"Well, farewell," Gu Jiao bid Xuanyuan Qi goodbye. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Without a word, Xuanyuan Qi came to the Hei Feng King, stepped up with one foot, swung his thigh across, and sat atop!

Gu Jiao blinked in surprise.

Xuanyuan Qi extended a hand to Gu Jiao expressionlessly.

Gu Jiao hesitated, arrogantly reached out her small paw: "Aren’t you not coming with us? Why? Not staying at Ghost Mountain?"

"Changed my mind," Xuanyuan Qi said casually, pulling Gu Jiao onto the horse.

Gu Jiao sat behind him.

Well, quite sudden.
