Chapter 23

Huang Gou was originally a sword-carrying guard in the palace. He has been working with the Fifth Prince for many years. He kidnaps a young girl every month for the Fifth Prince to torture without being discovered or suspected. This shows how cautious he is.

The most important thing is that he is a martial arts master. He

can silence people at any time.

Huang Gou received the order and immediately raised the knife in his hand and chopped at Gu Jingchen, who was covering his face. His movements were ghostly and fierce, and every knife went straight to the vital point.

Ye Jingyue couldn't move in Gu Jingchen's arms.

But she was disdainful in her heart.

[Huang Gou's martial arts are indeed powerful, but he met my cousin. My cousin is the direct disciple of Old Man Tianji, and Huang Gou is no match for him. 】

It is no secret that Gu Jingchen knows martial arts.

In the eyes of the world, he is good at martial arts and can protect himself.

But no one knows that he learned from old man Tianji.

His skills are much, much better than what the world thinks.

Huang Gou's martial arts are definitely ranked thirteenth in the imperial city, but in the eyes of Gu Jingchen, his moves are as slow as a snail.

Gu Jingchen easily dissolves Huang Gou's fierce and lethal knife, and his moves are fast, accurate and ruthless. In an instant, he beat Huang Gou without any power to fight back.

Moreover, he was holding back a lot of anger in his heart. He was deceived by the sanctimonious Fifth Prince for so many years.

The Fifth Prince, who was kind-hearted, generous, and merciful like an emperor, was actually a pervert who abused and killed women!

Gu Jingchen was shocked.

So he showed no mercy to Huang Gou, who had been helping the Fifth Prince to do evil. In just three moves, the sword in his hand was stabbed into Huang Gou's chest.

Huang Gou stared at Gu Jingchen in disbelief, with bright red blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Heaven... Tianji Swordsmanship..."

Huang Gou didn't recognize Gu Jingchen's swordsmanship at first, until this fatal sword pierced his heart, he recognized it as the world's number one swordsmanship, Tianji Swordsmanship.

Only the descendants of the sword saint Tianji Lao Ren can know this swordsmanship.

Huang Gou closed his eyes unwillingly.

His wealth and glory have not yet been realized, and he died with his eyes wide open...

The Fifth Prince did not expect that Huang Gou would die like this. His skills were less than one-tenth of Huang Gou's, and he certainly could not beat the man in front of him.

Running away is the best option.

How could Gu Jingchen give him a chance to escape?

He flashed in front of him.

The Fifth Prince looked at the slender figure in front of him, his face showing panic, and he began to beg for mercy subconsciously.

"Master, please show mercy. I am the Fifth Prince of Daqian Kingdom, the future crown prince. As long as you stand by me and don't hurt me, I will grant you wealth and glory. Let you be second to none and above ten thousand people."

Gu Jingchen's eyes were dark.

In his impression, the Fifth Prince has always been polite, gentle and elegant.

But the Fifth Prince in front of him was vain, impetuous, with a distorted face, and even his soul was dirty.

What a good pretender!

He actually deceived him for so many years.

"You are so dirty that you don't deserve to be the crown prince!"

He raised his sword and drew a clear arc in the air. The next second, the Fifth Prince covered his eyes and screamed in pain.

"Ah! Eyes, my eyes."

The Fifth Prince's eyes were bleeding and had been disabled.

Gu Jingchen wanted to kill the Fifth Prince with a sword.

It was just that the Second Prince died a few days ago. If the Fifth Prince died now, the imperial city would definitely be in turmoil.

He disabled the Fifth Prince's eyes for another reason.

The Fifth Prince had seen Ye Jingyue's true face. If he met Ye Jingyue in the imperial city in the future, Ye Jingyue would definitely be in trouble.

Therefore, he could not kill the Fifth Prince, but he could not spare the Fifth Prince's eyes that had seen Ye Jingyue.

Amid the Fifth Prince's miserable screams, he hugged Ye Jingyue and left with a stern face.

Ye Jingyue felt the beating of Gu Jingchen's heart and the warmth coming from his body.

Even without saying a word, she knew the sadness in Gu Jingchen's heart at the moment.

[I feel sorry for my cousin. He regards the Fifth Prince as a close friend and is convinced of the Fifth Prince's character, so he stands on the Fifth Prince's side. Now that he knows that the Fifth Prince's true face is so unbearable, he must be very sad.]

Gu Jingchen's heart was touched.

How could he not be sad?

He stood on the side of the Fifth Prince because he trusted his great talent and strategy, and he knew when to advance and retreat. He had a kind heart and a sense of great love!

But he turned out to be a pervert. If

such a person ascended to a high position, could the people still live and work in peace?

He was now very grateful to have heard Ye Jingyue's voice and stopped the loss in time.

Ye Jingyue sighed in her heart.

[Ah... My cousin is so miserable. Who made you the hero? You must have been a miserable character in the early stage. Your family was wiped out because of you, your friends died because of you, and your lover was implicated by you... Just based on this setting, you were definitely miserable in the early stage! Being deceived by the Fifth Prince and the perverted personality of the Fifth Prince were all required by the plot!]

Gu Jingchen's body stiffened slightly.

He probably knew the truth of the matter.

The world he is in now is a book. He is the protagonist of this book. In the early stage of his life, he will experience the destruction of his family, the death of his relatives, the murder of his friends, and the humiliation of his lover.

He was abandoned, framed, hunted down...

After experiencing all kinds of tragic hardships, he finally counterattacked and became an inspirational story of a generation of kings!

Bullshit!

He doesn't accept such a setting! He

will never let the people around him be hurt or die because of him!

He now understands that Ye Jingyue is a person outside the book. She came into the book for some reason. She has read this book, so she knows the fate of everyone in the book.

Gu Jingchen doesn't know what's wrong with the seal script man who designed him so miserably.

But he knows that as long as he gets close to Ye Jingyue, he can change the original tragic fate.

He didn't want to be the hero, nor did he want to be an emperor.

He wanted to protect his family and friends.

At least he couldn't let them die because of him.

Gu Jingchen put Ye Jingyue at the entrance of a secret alley and untied her acupuncture points.

Ye Jingyue grabbed his sleeve.

She looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you for saving my life."

[Don't books say that a life-saving favor should be rewarded with one's body? I'm going to take this opportunity to reward my cousin with my body. I'm lucky.]

Ye Jingyue looked at him shyly: "I can't repay you for saving my life. I'm willing to..."

"No need!"

Gu Jingchen interrupted her coldly and suddenly pulled his sleeve out of her hand.

The figure flashed and disappeared.

The speed of disappearance was comparable to the speed of light.

Ye Jingyue couldn't stop the flattering expression on her face!

She touched her nose in embarrassment.

[My cousin is really a gentleman, worthy of being the hero, he doesn't take advantage of others! Righteous! I love you! I want to marry you!]

Gu Jingchen stumbled when he was about to come out of the dark.

His cousin seemed to have "deep feelings" for him and loved him to death!

He had "some ideas" about her, but he didn't dare to have any improper thoughts.

His aunt would kill him.
