Tang Yueshan unceremoniously threw a palm strike, and the internal force like a surging wave swept violently toward the closet. The moment the closet door was shattered into pieces, several darts whizzed out.
Under the cover of the darts, Gu Chengfeng pulled Gu Jiao out of the closet and dashed out of the room.
Tang Yueshan was slowed down because he had to avoid the darts, but he was still able to catch up to them very quickly.
The other party moved very fast, but he still managed to recognize one of the men in black as the assassin who had come to assassinate Ming’er that night!
Tang Yueshan's teeth rattled in anger, “Very well, this commander has been looking for you all this time, to think you would personally step into my house again! If this commander doesn’t catch you today, this commander spent half of his life in vain!"
Tang Yueshan dispatched the experts of the Tang estate and chased after the two of them.
Gu Chengfeng's qinggong were not bad, but the group of experts of the Tang estate were not weak either, especially they had the support of archers.
The cavalry of the Marquis Xuanping Estate and the archers of the Supreme Commander Estate were both famous among the six states.
Rows and rows of strong bows were drawn, then arrows whistled everywhere in the air. In a heartbeat, a rain of arrows shrouded the whole street!
The two had to duck into a side alley.
With his back against the wall and the sound of raining arrows in his ears, Gu Chengfeng's heart thumped repeatedly, "This is terrible!"
No wonder people say that even if the State of Yan came, they wouldn’t be able to take down a city guarded by the archers of the Tang Family. They were too powerful!
Swish!
The two of them clearly escaped into an alley, and yet an arrow was coming at them as though it had grown eyes!
Both of them dodged in unison!
The tip of the arrow nailed into the flagstone and buried three inches into the ground. The feather fletching of the arrow shook, leaving afterimages!
Even Gu Jiao, who had personally experienced firearm weapons, had to admit that the Tang Archers were indeed formidable.
Compared to the first night they went after her, their attacks were a lot more murderous tonight. After all, Tang Yueshan probably wanted to capture her alive back then, so he didn't have them use their full strength.
However, they heard the Tang Family's most unpleasant secret tonight. Tang Yueshan naturally wasn’t going to let them live to see the sun tomorrow.
An expert spurred his horse into the alley and chased them.
Gu Jiao shot him off the horse’s back with a silver needle, then she jumped onto the horse who lost its owner, followed by Gu Chengfeng who sat behind her.
Just then, Tang Yueshan arrived, and he launched another palm strike at them again.
Gu Jiao galloped forward, but it was too late as the aftershock of the internal force hit Gu Chengfeng on the back.
Gu Chengfeng immediately spit out a mouthful of blood.
His face crumpled up in pain. Why did he have to ride with her? Wasn’t it better if he had just waited for another horse?
The horse from the Supreme Commander Estate wasn’t bad at all. Apart from Gu Changqing's horse, the fastest horse Gu Jiao ever rode was this horse.
The horse ran very fast, it was just... its movement was kinda weird.
Gu Chengfeng looked at the horse that seemed to be running on a winding path and asked incredulously, "Do you even know how to ride a horse?"
"No." Gu Jiao answered.
“What?!”
Gu Chengfeng was in turmoil!
Gu Chengfeng was almost jolted to death. He felt as if his insides were about to be displaced. Tang Yueshan's attack didn't hurt him too much internally, but this girl’s horse riding skills were about to cause him some serious internal injuries!
After another bumpy ride, Gu Chengfeng sensed that there was something amiss about their surroundings. He asked, "Where are we going?"
"Imperial palace." Gu Jiao replied.
Gu Chengfeng: "What are we going to do in the imperial palace? You're crazy! When we get to the palace, it will be more difficult to use my qinggong! Hey, hey, hey! Would you stop... I need you to stop! Stop... Ah!"
Stinky girl!
Gu Jiao had been to the imperial palace several times, and each time she would deliberately take a different path, so she knew which one was the shortest route.
However, Tang Yueshan knew these roads as much as she did.
Not to mention Tang Yueshan was a native of the imperial capital, and no one knew the capital’s terrain better than him.
About half a li away from the palace, Tang Yueshan and his men caught up with Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng.
Tang Yueshan quickly outflanked the two men and one horse. The Tang Archers were all in position, drawing their bows to the full, with at least three arrows on each string.
If they were to release these arrows right now, the other party would end up being shot into a sieve.
Gu Jiao stopped the horse.
Tang Yueshan sat atop a tall and mighty horse. He slowly approached Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng and stopped about ten paces away from them.
He tightened the reins and looked at them with disdain and bitter resentment, "This commander will give you a chance. Who sent you? Why did you hurt Ming’er? If you explain these to me, this commander will grant you a quick death!"
"Don’t think you can live. You've hurt people you shouldn't have, and heard things you shouldn't have. The best thing this commander can do is to make you suffer less with a quick death."
Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth, "Why don't you just drop dead yourself? You son of a bitch! You have no regard for moral ethics! With your own sister-in-law..."
Bang!
Tang Yueshan opened his hand and the force from his palm unexpectedly brushed past Gu Jiao, severely knocking Gu Chengfeng behind to the ground!
Did he just hit the cow behind the mountain?
Gu Jiao mentally assessed the strength of Tang Yueshan and finally came to the conclusion that she was no match for him at this stage.
Gu Jiao thought for a moment, pulled out a small book from her bosom, and wrote with her charcoal pen, "All right, I’ll confess."
Tang Yueshan: This bastard is actually a little mute!?
Gu Jiao wrote two lines, "It is true that someone sent us here, and that person is..."
Gu Jiao's words were so crooked that Tang Yueshan had a hard time reading them. He couldn't help but move forward to see whose name it was in the end.
Without warning, Gu Jiao sprang to her feet with a scalpel in her hand, got onto Tang Yueshan's horse swiftly and pressed the scalpel against his neck from behind.
Fine, he was tricked!
This little mute had some skills!
But it was naive of her to think that this was enough to restrain him!
Tang Yueshan grabbed the blade in Gu Jiao's hand and threw her off the horse despite the risk of wounding his hand.
Then he himself flew down and ordered, "Release the arrows!"
Gu Jiao: "Are you not afraid of being shot into a hedgehog with me?"
Tang Yueshan sneered, "This commander is wearing the golden silkworm armor known for its invulnerability!"
Gu Jiao: Ouch, I lost to the equipment!
Thousands of arrows were about to be fired!
Color faded on Gu Chengfeng's face at once!
At this moment, the gates of the palace suddenly opened, and a massive and heavy rumble echoed. It was as if the tall Emperor's gate had been opened in this dark night.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived——"
