Chen Zhizhou knew very well that if they left Yinshan City, it would be exactly what Zhang Bin wanted.
"Xuanfeng, my wife and I will go alone, and you take everyone in the Chen family back to Beijing along the mountain road." Time was urgent, and Chen Zhizhou had no chance to hesitate.
At the city gate, the people were desperately trying to get out of the city. The bad news came too quickly. Even though Yinshan City had just experienced a fierce battle, the people who were fleeing had no time to avoid the corpses piled on the streets.
The broken body parts were trampled into meat paste, and the whole city was a horrifying scene.
Gu Qing's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
All the miseries in her previous life were nothing compared to today. She didn't even dare to think about it. Everything that was happening now was due to a power struggle.
"Don't be afraid, ma'am." Chen Zhizhou put his arm around her waist.
Gu Qing felt sorry for the people and also hated Zhang Bin.
"Hold on tight." As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zhizhou jumped down from the city wall with her. The tightly sealed city gate trapped the people like a beast.
Gu Qing took a deep breath: "The people of Yinshan City cannot leave, otherwise the world will be in chaos."
"Madam, don't worry. If this was really done by Zhang Bin, he wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous. If I'm not mistaken, none of the people in Yinshan City can leave. All he wants is to force you and me out." Chen Zhizhou gritted his teeth.
Now it seems that Zhang Bin has indeed achieved his goal by using any means necessary.
The road ahead for the two of them is full of dangers.
Chen Zhizhou took Gu Qing all the way north. The terrain outside Yinshan City was complex, with endless mountains and steep ridges, and the Huai River split it in half.
It was precisely because the terrain was complex and difficult to be governed by the capital that Zhang Bin dared to act so rampantly under the emperor's nose.
Now they have no horses, and the surrounding area is desolate with no inns to rest. They can't find horses, and the road back to Beijing is a long way off.
Gu Qing was held by Chen Zhizhou, with her head buried in his arms, and even the night wind could not blow at all.
She thought carefully about the whole journey. Zhang Bin first tried to frame Chen Zhizhou but failed, then faked his death to cover up his crime and escaped the crime. After the third prince left, he killed the entire Chen family.
Now they even spread the plague in order to force the two out.
In this competition, countless innocent people were harmed and killed.
Gu Qing took a deep breath and clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves. The bumpy road she had gone through made her feel even more distressed about the difficulties Chen Zhizhou was facing.
But in the previous life, I was the real executioner who killed him.
"Put me down." Gu Qing sighed and looked back. He could no longer see the shape of Yinshan City. There were only hazy mountains under the moonlight around him.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Chen Zhizhou said softly, "But where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Gu Qing shook his head. "We've been traveling for a long time. Why don't we take a break?"
The two men were walking on an official road that was well-connected to the mainland, so Zhang Bin probably wouldn't dare to attack them so openly.
But Gu Qing did not realize Zhang Bin's determination to kill Chen Zhizhou. As soon as she finished speaking, a group of men in black rushed up from the paths on all sides and surrounded the two of them.
Chen Zhizhou subconsciously pulled Gu Qing closer: "Follow me closely."
Gu Qing nodded, carefully hiding beside him and observing his surroundings for him.
"Where are you going?"
One of them gnashed his teeth. Chasing Chen Zhizhou had cost them a lot of effort. After he finished speaking, Zhang Bin came in from outside the encirclement and laughed, "Master Chen, I have finally waited for you."
"You've made it so hard for me to find you along the way!"
The moonlight was growing fainter, and a pale dawn had begun to appear in the distance. Zhang Bin looked up at the sky and frowned, saying, "After a night of hard work, it's time to get some results."
Chen Zhizhou protected Gu Qing, and the air around him was extremely cold, but he still sneered calmly: "Zhang Bin, you are quite courageous."
"You want to kill me? That's just wishful thinking."
"Sir Chen, it's really not easy to kill you, that's why I put so much thought into it. Isn't it because of the current situation?"
Zhang Bin was smug. "Don't blame me. If you had turned a blind eye to the construction of the Huai River dam, how could we have ended up like this?"
"In short, today it's either you or me. My Lord, why don't you be kind and give me a chance to live?"
Gu Qing saw it all and hated it in her heart. Zhang Bin was talking nonsense and confusing right and wrong, and he put all the blame on Chen Zhizhou.
"Zhang Bin, you will be punished. You used the lives of the people to pave your way to power. You will not die a good death." Gu Qing said word by word.
Zhang Bin looked at the woman Chen Zhizhou was protecting and pointed at her. "And you! You're really an extraordinary woman. You can't keep a woman who's too smart."
As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly, and men in black attacked from all directions.
Chen Zhizhou is a highly skilled martial artist, and he could easily deal with these people, but now he also has to protect Gu Qing, so he needs to be more careful everywhere, and he is a little more constrained.
Zhang Bin looked at the situation and his expression became increasingly grim.
I didn’t expect Chen Zhizhou’s martial arts to be so powerful!
Under the shadow of swords and knives, the men in black fell to the ground one after another, and blood gushed out in the air like a waterfall. Chen Zhizhou pulled Gu Qing away in time to prevent her from getting contaminated.
Chen Zhizhou was already blood-thirsty, with blood trickling down the back of his knife. Gu Qing was still frightened, so he kept himself calm and alert, while Zhang Bin opposite him was already panicking.
If this continues, all his men will die at the hands of Chen Zhizhou!
"Kill Gu Qing! Kill that woman first!"
Zhang Bin pointed at Gu Qing and yelled.
The remaining men in black were also afraid of Chen Zhizhou, so they turned to attack Gu Qing.
Seeing this, Chen Zhizhou's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Want to die!"
Gu Qing's heart tightened and he held Chen Zhizhou's hand even tighter. The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Zhang Bin, who was watching, became more and more excited. If everyone went to kill Gu Qing, how could Chen Zhizhou care about himself?
"knife."
The guard beside him held out the knife with both hands: "Sir, how about I go instead?"
"Get out of here! I'm going to kill Chen Zhizhou myself!" The fight between him and Chen Zhizhou had reached an almost demonic state.
It doesn’t matter whether Chen Zhizhou is dead or alive. Only by killing him with my own hands can I feel the pleasure of success.
Chen Zhizhou was protecting Gu Qing who was being targeted, and had no time to take care of himself for the time being, which made Zhang Bin's sneak attack more likely.
At the critical moment, Gu Qing caught a glimpse of Zhang Bin suddenly attacking Chen Zhizhou. His pupils suddenly trembled. Without time to protect himself, he subconsciously shouted angrily: "Go away!"
Chen Zhizhou was suddenly pushed away by her. The next second, a long sword pierced into Gu Qing's abdomen mercilessly, and suddenly, blood-red liquid sprayed out.
Gu Qing grabbed the knife that was stabbed into his lower abdomen with his backhand to prevent Zhang Bin from taking any further action. The pain in his body was unbearable.
She suppressed the blood boiling in her chest and said angrily, "Zhang! Bin!"
"Gu Qing——"
Echoes came from the mountains. Chen Zhizhou shouted her name heartbreakingly and looked at the scene in disbelief.
"Bang!"
Another loud noise was heard, and Zhang Bin was kicked by Chen Zhizhou and flew several meters away.
The men in black who took advantage of the situation to attack from all around were strangled to death by Chen Zhizhou in an instant. No one had ever seen such a crazy killer.
