Chapter 394 You Can Always Trust Any Zhaojun
Long Feibai cried out, tightening his grip on the hilt. If Long Feibai was in danger, it must have happened during the beheading. Emperor Wen's promise to spare Long Feibai's life was surely just a pretense; the executioners had been prearranged long ago. But if someone was determined to have Long Feibai killed in the court, they would naturally have done so.
"Gu Guan, quickly go to the execution ground and rescue Long Feibai."
Wen Ziduan had already spoken, and several people were about to rush out of the Third Prince's Mansion on horseback. Huo Buyi paused and grabbed Wen Ziduan's reins: "Ziduan! Something has happened in the Royal Guards!" Several people were stunned as they looked at the black smoke coming from the direction of the palace.
That was a special fuel that would only be ignited when someone urgently needed help and needed to enter the palace to protect the emperor. Now, Wen Ziduan was faced with a choice: should he follow He Zhaojun to find He Yuan and attend a dangerous appointment, or go to the palace with Huo Buyi to rescue the emperor?
He Zhaojun suddenly called out his name: "Wen Ziduan!"
"I don't remember what choice you would make when faced with such a problem before, but now, it's not a multiple-choice question, because you can always trust me, trust Zhaojun, and trust your Third Prince's Consort!"
Wen Ziduan felt his nose ache. He immediately held He Zhaojun's arm tightly and kissed her forehead: "Wait for me, I will definitely come to find you!"
He Zhaojun swung the long whip in her hand and hit Wen Ziduan's horse on the buttocks. The warhorse felt pain and let out a long whistle, then ran towards the direction of the imperial palace.

Gu Guan had already set out, heading for the Tingwei's execution ground. This was his first time doing this, but he wasn't afraid at all. He didn't know why. Perhaps it was because the other party was Long Feibai. He knew that no matter how many people the Tingwei had today, if they were going to keep the two of them, he would have to take Long Feibai out.
"Long Feibai!" Gu Guan galloped on his horse, feeling the blood in his throat. When he saw the words "Tingwei" from afar, he dismounted and ran towards Long Feibai.
The executioners and executioners appointed by Emperor Wen were all killed on the spot. More than a dozen people holding long swords were standing in the execution ground, as if waiting for him to come, and the leader was about to chop off Long Feibai's head.
"Gu Guan! Don't come over here!" Long Feibai spat out a mouthful of blood, and his already pale face became even worse: "Go away! Whether you live or die, I can't survive!"
If Gu Guan died here today, because of the Golden Phoenix Gu, Long Feibai would naturally die on the spot without anyone else's help. If Gu Guan did not come to save him, Long Feibai would also die at the hands of these rebels.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Guan swung his long sword and chopped at the leader. "Do you think I accepted the Golden Phoenix Gu for nothing?"
The next moment, blood splattered all over Long Feibai's face. Gu Guan slashed down with his sword, severing the leader's arm. He reached out to pull Long Feibai up from the ground, only to find that his back had been torn and ripped, and he was struggling to even stand. Gu Guan cursed inwardly, parried the fatal blow with his backhand, and pushed Long Feibai far behind him.
Long Feibai wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve, his already pale complexion turning even paler. In his eyes, Gu Guan had transformed into a killing god, blocking all possible dangers. It was also the first time he understood how invincible Gu Guan, known as the capital's strongest fighter, was, armed with the world's sharpest hundred-tempered steel.
