"Sister, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. If something happens to you, my grandfather won't be able to spare me." Gu Yaode shouted.
Gu Yingying didn't even look at him. Suddenly, a bright smile appeared on her face and she whispered: "You're not dead?"
"Sister, don't scare me. Have you lost your mind and gone crazy? Who are you talking to?" Gu Yaode said in shock.
"Of course I'm not dead. How could I die so easily?" A voice sounded behind Gu Yaode's head.
When Gu Yaode heard this voice, he was so frightened that his legs shook like chaff.
"Who are you? How are you still alive? Are you a human or a ghost?" Gu Yaode's voice changed.
"You'll know if you turn your head," said the voice behind him. Gu Yaode slowly turned his head, and then he saw a cold light on the tip of his nose.
The Emperor of Chu who was supposed to die was standing in front of him with a smile.
"How is it possible? Why are you here? Shouldn't you..."
"The son of God must have an indestructible body. What can a mere fire do to me?" Li Yuan sneered.
Gu Yaode suddenly realized that Li Yuan must have escaped the fire. Seeing that the matter was exposed, Gu Yaode thought that he was no match. He suddenly jumped up, escaped from Li Yuan's sword tip at an extremely fast speed, and ran up with incredible agility. He urged the horse to go away.
Li Yuan pursed his lips and let out a whistle. The big black horse under Gu Yaode jumped up and knocked Gu Yaode to the ground.
Gu Yaode was thrown to pieces and his eyes were filled with stars. Li Yuan came to him and said with a smile: "Master Gu, you are on the wrong horse." Just as Gu Yaode was about to struggle to get up, he felt a heavy blow to his neck, and then Nothing is known anymore.
Li Yuan cut Gu Yaode's carotid artery with his palm and knocked him unconscious. Then he quickly walked back to Yingying and swung his sword to cut the ropes around Gu Yingying's bound hands and feet.
Gu Yingying was so shocked and happy that she was trembling and speechless. After her hands and feet were freed, she couldn't help herself. She hugged Li Yuan and hugged him tightly without letting go.
Li Yuan patted Gu Yingying's back and said in a deep voice: "Madam Gu, I can't stay here for long, I have to leave." Gu Yingying shouted anxiously: "Where are you going?" Li Yuan He said coldly: "Your Gu family wants to kill me, I can only avoid its sharp edges first. I didn't expect that your Gu family would treat me like this. When my army arrives in the future, I will definitely retaliate!" Gu Yingying suddenly turned pale. , whispered: "But I, I didn't want to kill you, how could I do this." Li Yuan sighed softly: "You didn't, but your grandfather, your father, uncle, and brother wanted me to die. If If it weren't for God's protection, I would have been burned to ashes in the Sanhua Building right now. That's all, it's useless to say more, so I'll take my leave." Li Yuan pushed Gu Yingying away, turned around and walked to Gu Yaode's side, and pushed the unconscious man away. Gu Yaode, who woke up, picked him up, placed him across the black horse's saddle, and flew on the horse.
Gu Yingying shouted: "Did you kill my brother?" Li Yuan sneered: "How could I kill him? He is my amulet now. I must take him with me. If you Gu family push people too hard , then I can only let him die with me." Gu Yingying said softly: "Thank you for not killing my brother. But where can you go now? You can't leave the city. If they really want to hunt you, you There is no way to hide it." Li Yuan sneered and said, "The worst that happens is that we will all be destroyed." Gu Yingying bit her lower lip and said, "College Li, Mr. Li, if you trust me, then come with me. I have There is a place for you to hide." Li Yuan frowned and looked at Gu Yingying, and Gu Yingying looked up into Li Yuan's eyes, her eyes full of sincere prayer.
"Don't worry, I, Gu Yingying, swear again that if I harm Young Master Li, I, Gu Yingying, will be punished by heaven and earth without a burial place." Gu Yingying knew that Li Yuan was doubting her motives, and she didn't feel that at all. It was strange, after all, it was his Gu family who wanted to kill Li Yuan, and Li Yuan had reason to doubt him.
"Why are you helping me? Aren't you also a family person?" Li Yuan said. Gu Yingying said softly: "I'm helping my Gu family by helping you. This matter is due to the unkindness of my Gu family, and it's not your fault. You came to Suzhou alone and did your best to defend Suzhou. They shouldn't do this to you. I'll save you. This is to prevent the Gu family from making a big mistake, and I also hope to leave a way for the Gu family to survive in the future. Besides, this is also to help myself. I don’t know if you heard what my brother said just now. I, the king of Wuyue Kingdom, want to marry my Gu family. This I will never agree." Of course, Li Yuan heard the previous dispute between the brother and sister, and because of this, he understood the Gu family's motive for killing him tonight.
His identity was exposed, and in order to be loyal to the king of Wuyue Kingdom, the Gu family's killing of themselves was obviously a great achievement.
Li Yuan naturally heard that Qian Hongchu wanted to take Gu Yingying as his concubine, but that was no longer something Li Yuan wanted to consider.
Li Yuan pondered for a moment and saw that the noise of people in the streets around him was getting louder and louder. The fire rising into the sky not far away had already alarmed half of the people in the city, including the soldiers and horses patrolling the city.
If we delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape.
"That's all, I believe you for once. Where can we hide?" Gu Yingying was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "I have a painting boat parked in Jinjing Lake. It is the boat I usually use to play in the lake. Only I can Use it. Let's hide in the boat, what do you think?" Li Yuan frowned and said: "Jinjing Lake? Isn't it near your Gu family?" Gu Yingying said: "Don't worry, there is another road leading to the southwest of Jinjing Lake. Long Bridge, the boat is moored at the pier under the bridge. Trust me, I will never harm you." Li Yuan nodded and said: "Okay, let's go to the boat." Gu Yingying smiled and hurriedly He limped towards his mount, struggled to get on the horse's back, and said softly: "Follow me." Gu Yingying urged the horse to go east, and Li Yuan grabbed the belt of the unconscious Gu Yaode and rode to follow. The two riders turned into an alley before reaching the main street.
The alley zigzagged southward, and soon after exiting the alley, we arrived at another side street. Gu Yingying speeded up her horse and galloped around in a big circle. When she finally came out of the side street, she saw a land with dense forests. Through the trees, she saw Jinjing Lake sparkling under the moonlight.
Gu Yingying pointed in the direction and whispered: "That's it. Look, the boat is still parked there." Li Yuan looked around and saw an arch bridge crossing the waves under the hazy moonlight. , connecting the narrow lakes on both sides.
It looks like an ordinary long bridge, but it is a rare and wonderful scenery. On the water next to the bridge, a small building boat is moored there, with a faint light coming from the bow.
"Is there anyone on board?" Li Yuan frowned.
"It doesn't matter, there is only an old boatman who is deaf and mute, who is dedicated to guarding the ship and helping me punt it." Gu Yingying said.
Li Yuan nodded. At this time, he had no choice but to hide on the ship. So they galloped to the stone bridge and dismounted next to the stone bridge. The two led the horses down to the dock. Gu Yingying got on the boat first and woke up the old boatman. Then Li Yuan hugged Gu Yaode and got on the boat.
The old boatman had no idea what was going on. Gu Yingying gestured to him to sail the boat, so he took the pennies to prop up the boat and left the dock.
When Li Yuan and Gu Yingying entered the boat hall and just settled down, the boat was already more than ten feet away from the shore and was sailing toward the center of the lake.
