In order to ensure Qin Liu's safety, Shangguan Wanning thought again and again and decided not to bring her back to the government office.
"We need to send Qin Liu to the capital as soon as possible, but I'm afraid the journey won't be peaceful." Shangguan Wanning pondered for a moment, "Brother Huo, I'll contact Jing Rui and ask him to send an expert to escort them."
"Okay." Huo Gang did not forget his mission. His most important task was to protect Shangguan Wanning.
The two walked out of Qin Liu's room and talked about what happened after they separated.
When Huo Gang learned that the Wuji Sect was so bold that they not only opposed the imperial court but also captured the Turkic princess, his face suddenly changed.
"He is going to destroy our sect's foundation over the years." Huo Gang clenched his fists tightly, shaking with anger.
Shangguan Wan Ning had never seen him like this before, and she carefully comforted him: "Brother Huo, are you okay? You don't have to worry too much, maybe..."
Huo Gang waved his hands. He tried his best to calm himself down and closed his eyes in pain.
He volunteered to pass the message to Mu Jingrui on behalf of Shangguan Wanning.
Late at night, he came to Mu Jingrui's military tent and informed him of the current situation.
"There is something I want to discuss with Master Mu."
"Speak." Mu Jingrui folded his arms across his chest and looked at Huo Gang with interest.
Shangguan Wanning once said that he had a deep connection with Wujimen.
"I can break into Wujimen for you to rescue Brother Shuyan, and then take the things you want out of the secret room. I am familiar with the traps and ambushes in the secret room, so your casualties can be minimized."
"What are the conditions?"
"After the matter is done, I hope you can pardon everyone except Wuji Sect's leader Tie Shijie. They were just following orders, they are innocent."
Mu Jingrui remained silent. He could see that Huo Gang had deep feelings for Wujimen.
Now his situation was in a stalemate. If he continued to attack the Turks, he might not lose, but it would take a long time, and Liu Xian was eyeing him covetously, which was a situation of internal and external troubles.
Mu Jingrui was worried that Xiao Yujue, who was far away in the capital, might be in danger at any time. He had to fight and return quickly.
"Okay, I promise you, as long as you make a contribution in this matter, Wujimen, I can guarantee that you will not hold me accountable for the past."
"Thank you very much."
Huo Gang didn't say a word and just turned and left.
On the second night, he sneaked into Wuji Gate under the cover of darkness.
Returning to this once familiar home now, he had to do it secretly. This made Huo Gang feel sad.
He suppressed his melancholy, quickly went to the study and opened the door of the secret room.
Huo Gang searched around inside but couldn't find what Mu Jingrui wanted. He was feeling a little frustrated when he suddenly heard a faint noise coming from the front.
He hesitated slightly and approached cautiously in the direction of the sound.
In the secret room in the middle, a woman was chained.
Her face was pale and her long hair was scattered. Even though her breath was weak, she was still struggling hard to break free from the chains.
"Brother Shuyan?"
Huo Gang admired the perseverance of this Turkic princess. He concentrated his true energy in his palm and slapped open the door of the secret room.
"Who are you?" Ge Shuyan's whole body tensed up and he looked at the person in front of him vigilantly.
Huo Gang took off the black scarf covering his face and quickly came to Ge Shuyan's side. "Don't say anything. I'll take you away from here first."
Ge Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief, but felt desperate.
She shook her head and said weakly, "This chain is made of a special material. Internal strength may not be enough to break it. A key is needed..."
"Dangdang" twice, before Ge Shuyan finished speaking, Huo Gang had already broken the chain with his palm power.
"King Kong Iron Fist?" Ge Shuyan looked up at Huo Gang, "I heard from my master that Wuji Sect has a special skill for training wrist strength. But... it is extremely difficult to practice. I didn't expect you to be so young..."
Huo Gang did not answer. He squatted down and pointed at his back: "Princess, I don't care about the decency of men and women. I will carry you."
Ge Shuyan hesitated slightly, but still lay on Huo Gang's back.
The two men walked out of the secret room smoothly, but saw that the yard was brightly lit and dozens of people holding torches surrounded them.
"Brother, you came so late. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Tie Shijie stood in the middle, gently waving his folding fan, his peach blossom eyes narrowed with a full smile.
"Brothers, I don't want to fight with you. Please give way for the sake of our friendship."
Huo Gang is the eldest brother among this generation. Everyone is unwilling to make things difficult for him, but no one dares to disobey Tie Shijie's orders.
Therefore, everyone stood where they were, and no one moved aside.
"Huo Gang, you have been expelled from the sect. You are a traitor to the Wuji Sect. What friendship can we still have? Today, if you leave your brother Shuyan behind, I can still let you go. Otherwise..."
There was a hint of coldness in Tie Shijie's eyes, and murderous intent gradually gathered.
"Forget it, just put me down." Ge Shuyan whispered in Huo Gang's ear.
"I won't let you die before me." Huo Gang said firmly, "Hold me tight."
Ge Shuyan looked at Huo Gang's profile and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
She opened her arms and gently hugged Huo Gang's neck, with her cheek against his.
An unprecedented warmth began to spread throughout the body.
Huo Gang glanced around and felt a dull pain in his heart.
"I don't want to see my brothers bleed."
After saying that, Huo Gang took off the black scarf that covered his face and covered his eyes, then slapped Tie Shijie.
Tie Shijie quickly flashed past and ordered, "Kill without mercy."
In an instant, swords and sabers flashed and Huo Gang could only prepare to fight.
Ge Shuyan felt that they were in great danger tonight.
But for some reason, there was not much fear or sadness in her heart.
Just as a long sword pierced Huo Gang's shoulder, a sharp palm wind blew away all the people around Huo Gang.
Several men in black joined the battle.
"Take them away, I'll cover the rear."
Huo Gang heard a familiar voice. He didn't expect Mu Jingrui to take action in person.
He did not hesitate and left Wujimen under the escort of Mu Jingrui's men.
Seeing this, Tie Shijie stepped forward to attack Mu Jingrui. Mu Jingrui responded calmly and estimated that Huo Gang and others were safe, so he really took action.
Mu Jingrui quickly captured Tie Shijie alive and put the sword on his neck.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
"You only have one chance. Hand over what I want and I'll let you live. But if you dare to bargain with me..."
Mu Jingrui's gaze was so sharp that it made people feel cold all over.
"What...what do you want?"
"You know." Mu Jingrui's tone was calm, but revealed an unquestionable majesty. "I will count to three. If you don't hand it over, my sword will pierce your throat. One, two..."
