Huo Gang hesitated a little, but the maid did not give him the chance to refuse. She turned around and walked in.
After thinking it over, he followed in with Grape, Lutong and two servants.
Ge Shuyan slowly came down the stairs. She was still wearing Turkic clothes, with a scimitar hanging around her waist, her eyebrows raised, and a bit of charm in her heroic posture.
"Master Huo, long time no see, how are you?"
Huo Gang smiled. "I am just an ordinary man, I don't dare to be called a hero. The princess's Chinese is getting better and better."
Ge Shuyan walked up to Huo Gang with a smile. "Brother Huo and I are friends in need, and you saved my life. Today, I will offer you some wine to show my appreciation."
After thinking it over, Huo Gang did not refuse. Ge Shuyan asked his men to bring the food to the hall. The two sat opposite each other, eating and chatting.
Ge Shuyan asked someone to vacate the rooms in the east wing for Huo Gang and his entourage to live in.
Late at night, Huo Gang was lying in bed when he heard faint footsteps on the roof. He suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up from bed.
He quietly walked to the window and looked out through the gap. He saw a group of people in black clothes, holding steel knives and walking towards the front yard.
Isn’t it Brother Shuyan who lives in the front yard?
Huo Gang had a bad feeling in his heart and was hesitating whether to go over and take a look when suddenly a loud shout was heard.
"There's a fire... put it out quickly..."
Huo Gang immediately opened the door and rushed out.
"Brother Huo, what happened?" Lu Tong poked his head out, his eyes still not open, and he looked dazed.
"Hide back in the room. Don't come out no matter what happens." Huo Gang pushed Lu Tong back into the room. When he turned around, flames were already rising into the sky.
He realized that the situation was not good, and immediately used his Qinggong skills to rush to the front yard, where swords and sabers were already flashing and fighting.
Huo Gang discovered that the envoys who had escorted Ge Shuyan had basically fallen in a pool of blood, and the Royal Guards, who had been carefully selected, seemed unable to cope with the situation.
From their unsteady steps, Huo Gang concluded that someone had tampered with them.
"ah!"
Huo Gang heard a scream coming from the room. He jumped in through the window and saw a man in black raising a steel knife and slashing at Ge Shuyan's arm.
He immediately struck out with his palm, knocking the man in black away.
"Princess, how are you?"
Ge Shuyan looked a little embarrassed, but very calm.
"Let's get out of here first."
The two worked together to fight their way out of the encirclement and came to the yard, only to find that the entire yard was full of men in black, and there were dozens of archers on the wall.
Huo Gang couldn't help but frown, and calmly protected Ge Shuyan behind him.
This subtle movement caused ripples in Ge Shuyan's heart.
"Who are you? You dare to kidnap the princess, don't you know that this is a serious crime that will punish all your clans?"
As soon as Huo Gang finished speaking, a figure flew down from the roof and stood steadily in front of them.
The man was dressed in white and holding a paper fan. He looked like a weak scholar.
However, Huo Gang took a closer look and determined that this person was a master of internal martial arts.
"Catch him down." The man in white gave an order, and another man in black rushed up.
Huo Gang responded calmly and shot and killed several men in black.
"So he is a master of Wuji Sect."
Huo Gang was stunned. He could judge the other party's background from his martial arts skills. The other party must be a man of martial arts.
He cupped his hands and said, "Brother, the underworld and the government have always kept to themselves. Why do you have to..."
"I don't want to make things difficult for you for the sake of Wuji Sect. As long as you leave now, I will pretend that I have never seen you."
No agreement!
Huo Gang had no choice but to fight.
He and Ge Shuyan exchanged glances, and both attacked at the same time. This time, the man in white took action himself, and his fingers grabbed Ge Shuyan's throat like an eagle's claw.
Ge Shuyan’s martial arts skills were not weak, but he was easily stopped by the man in white.
Seeing this, Huo Gang immediately turned around to rescue, forcing the man in white to let go of Ge Shuyan and attack him instead.
Seeing that he could not defeat Huo Gang alone, the man in white ordered his archers to shoot.
In an instant, countless sharp arrows flew towards them. Seeing that Ge Shuyan was about to be shot, Huo Gang pushed her away.
"Brother Huo?"
Huo Gang was shot in the left arm, and the men in black took the opportunity to attack him again.
"You go first." Huo Gang whispered to Ge Shuyan.
As soon as he finished speaking, he blocked another palm strike for Ge Shuyan.
"Brother Huo..."
Ge Shuyan's heart was a little shocked. She and Huo Gang did not have a very deep friendship, but this man had risked his life to save her more than once.
The man in white didn't want to waste any more time, so he attacked Huo Gang again with his palm.
Huo Gang was already seriously injured at this time, and this palm strike caused his internal organs to hurt so much that he suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood.
"Brother Huo... help me..."
Huo Gang's face darkened and he looked up to see two men in black walking towards him with Lu Tong and Grape.
With the steel knife at their necks, the two little girls were trembling with fear.
"I don't want to kill innocent people," the man in white opened his folding fan and waved it gently, "Don't force me."
Huo Gang didn't want anything to happen to Grape and Lutong, but Ge Shuyan came here for the purpose of marriage. If something unexpected happened, affecting the relationship between the two countries and causing instability on the border, wouldn't the common people be the ones who suffered?
"I'll go with you and let them go."
Ge Shuyan threw away the bloody scimitar in his hand and looked at the man in white with a determined gaze.
"Well, I've heard that Turkic princesses are as brave as men, and I've seen it today."
The man in white winked at his men and actually put the green tung and grapes first.
He is quite frank.
Under such circumstances, Ge Shuyan knew that there was no hope of breaking out.
She looked at Huo Gang, walked up to him and whispered, "Thank you for helping me... You are the only warmth I have felt since I came to Zhongyuan. In fact, for me... maybe this result is not necessarily a bad thing. Take care of yourself."
Ge Shuyan turned and left. Huo Gang wanted to hold him back, but his hand fell down weakly halfway through.
The man in white kept his promise and did not embarrass Huo Gang and the others anymore. He left with Ge Shuyan.
Huo Gang fell to the ground seriously injured, and passed out after his eyes went dark.
"Brother Huo...Brother Huo..."
Lu Tong and Grape rushed forward and shouted a few times, but Huo Gang didn't respond at all.
Lu Tong bravely patted Huo Gang's face. The two looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Sister Lutong, what should we do now?" Grape was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"Calm down, let me think about it." Lu Tong took a few deep breaths and said, "Let's work together to carry Brother Huo into the room. I remember there is a horse in the backyard, I will report to the town authorities tonight. You stay and take care of Brother Huo."
Grape was a little scared, but still nodded heavily.
