Although the scene was very chaotic, there was a person on a high horse, and everyone could see it, especially the team that was looking for Jin Xin.
Gu Zhao was the first to see Jin Xin, and he immediately flew out and rushed towards Helian Yucheng.
The secret guard also saw it immediately and took action quickly. The people he was secretly protecting rushed out one after another.
Helian Yucheng was also blocked by the crowd and could only turn around to escape. However, when he turned around, Gu Zhao had already caught up with him and took the lead.
The people brought by Helian Yucheng also took action to protect their master, but in the end they were not as large in number as the escort team, let alone as powerful as this one.
The road was blocked, and Helian Yucheng couldn't get out at all. Gu Zhao's kung fu was so strong that these minions were no match at all. They were almost killed, and Helian Yucheng couldn't break out.
The emperor wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the escort.
Everything is based on the emperor's safety, so naturally the emperor cannot be put in danger.
Helian Yucheng did not expect that his men would be defeated so easily by the opponent's troops.
He was unwilling to let Jin Xin go like this.
When he came to the Central Plains this time, he didn't get the goods back, and even took the lives of these men. How could he be willing to do so?
When Gu Zhao rushed forward, Helian Yucheng suddenly grabbed the unconscious Jin Xin and put his sword on her back, "If you take one more step forward, I will kill this woman."
Gu Zhao paused, looking slightly panicked, staring at Helian Yucheng, "You let her go, and I'll let you go."
When Helian Yucheng saw that Jin Xin could threaten Gu Zhao, he immediately became hopeful and rode forward to force Gu Zhao back.
The secret guards behind him had already finished dealing with the people around him, and they all gathered around to capture the villain alive, but Gu Zhao raised his hand to signal to stop.
"We can't let him escape, lest there be endless trouble." The leader of the secret guard was about to step forward.
"Didn't you see that the wife was in his hands?" Gu Zhao was angry. These people didn't take her life seriously. Gu Zhao couldn't bear it.
"But at first glance, this person is not from our heavenly dynasty. If he lets the tiger go back to the mountain, the consequences will be unpredictable!" the secret guard said anxiously.
With Gu Zhao's skills, he can be beaten down, but he threatens the mother's life with his hands, but if he wants to take action, he may not really dare to hurt people. Even if he does hurt people, Gu Zhao can still cause major consequences. He had been captured before.
Therefore, the secret guard was anxious to kill this man.
Gu Zhao didn't know, but if he missed, the empress would lose her life.
Then what's the point of taking action yourself.
"Sir, if you step back any more, he will really escape with his people. When the time comes, neither you nor I will be able to bear this responsibility." The secret guard reminded in a low voice.
Indeed, if you retreat further, you will really have no chance to take action.
Gu Zhao was about to step forward, but Helian Yucheng picked up the sword blade again and flashed the reflection, so Gu Zhao could only retreat.
Just when the two sides were confronting each other and Gu Zhao was in trouble, an arrow suddenly flew out and pierced Helian Yucheng's shoulder.
In the distance, the emperor was holding the bow and arrow again, his eyes were firm, and he wanted to kill quickly.
Seeing this, Helian Yucheng could only grab a handful of Jinxin and throw it away. Gu Zhao quickly stepped forward to catch him, while Helianyucheng picked up the horse's belly and rushed forward. There was a ring of fire in front of him, and the fire burned into a piece. , thick smoke billowed, the emperor shot another arrow, but missed. He drew the bow again, but his sight was blocked by the thick smoke.
The leader of the secret guard led his men to chase him, but these two legs could not run as fast as his western legs.
When Gu Zhao caught Jin Xin, he went to chase the person without his body. The secret guard could not catch up, so Gu Zhao did not pursue him. He Lianyu managed to disappear into the thick smoke and ran away.
The emperor looked helplessly over there and sighed, "This man looks really familiar, I'm afraid he has a lot of background."
People who look familiar to him naturally have a high status.
He always felt that he had seen it somewhere, but couldn't remember it for the moment.
Jiang Quwu was not in the mood to listen to the emperor's speech at this moment, so he hurried to Jin Xin's side, pushed Gu Zhao away, picked up Jin Xin and walked towards the emperor.
Gu Zhao did not dare to turn around. After calming down and making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he turned around and went to the imperial court to reply.
The emperor took the Jinxin from Jiang Quwu, checked it, and found that it was not injured. He breathed a sigh of relief, but it was a pity that the thief escaped.
"Gu Zhao, you are responsible for handling the matter here. You must find out who committed the crime here. Anyone dares to touch it. The security of this place really disappoints me."
Gu Zhao nodded and said respectfully, "Yes."
After the emperor took Jin Xin away, Jiang Quwu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Zhao displeased.
After retreating from the people around him, Jiang Quwu looked at Gu Zhao angrily, "Did you care too much about your empress just now? If the emperor notices anything, she will be killed by you!"
Gu Zhao looked at him very apologetically and said repeatedly, "I'm sorry. I was really in a hurry just now and I couldn't act calmly."
"You can't calm down, and you have to calm down. She won't know your thoughts, and she can't know. If you do this again, and she makes a slight mistake, all of us will die. I'll warn you again, leave." She stays away."
Gu Zhao hummed, "I understand. When the patrol is over, I will ask for orders to go to the border to guard the border. I will not return to the capital if nothing happens."
When Jiang Quwu saw that he was cooperative and had no ambitions, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
How could he not be afraid? Gu Zhao had won the emperor's heart now, and the emperor wanted to use him more. If he was given power, he would be in danger regardless of whether he had any overstepping intentions.
If the emperor finds out, everyone will die.
If he had great power, it would be terrible for Xiao Xiangniang to use the eldest prince to gain power.
Although it is unlikely that Gu Zhao will develop ambitions after gaining power, Jiang Quwu will not gamble on the Jiang family's humanity.
"Then you stay here to take care of the rest, and I'll go see her." Jiang Quwu said.
Gu Zhao nodded when he heard this, took a step back, and led people to clean the scene to see if there were any survivors.
But he was basically dead, and the captured man finally committed suicide by biting the poison sac in his mouth.
Suddenly he felt something stepped on under his feet. He took a step back and saw the jade hairpin on the ground. He looked slightly startled and slowly picked it up.
This is the hairpin on the empress’s head. She only wears this hairpin when she goes out.
He looked at it carefully, caressed it, and couldn't help but smile when he thought that the hairpin stayed on the empress's head for a long time.
It just broke into two pieces.
He looked towards the direction where the emperor and the others were walking. This hairpin might not be remembered by anyone anymore. It was broken into two pieces and was worthless.
He took out the silk handkerchief, carefully wrapped the hairpin that was broken into two pieces, and slowly put it back into his arms.
He smiled with satisfaction, and then his eyes were full of self-deprecation.
The way he behaves now is like a dark voyeur, more like a despicable scumbag. He doesn't dare to show off at all, and only dares to quietly hold her things to comfort his shameful love.
The closer he got to Suzhou City, the deeper his memory of that period became, and the stronger his possessiveness became.
But if she knew that he coveted her, she would definitely be unhappy.
