"What!?"
Zhixia's face suddenly changed, and the soft sword in his hand returned to the sheath with a "clang".
Gu Yanran, this evil woman, actually dared to lure the tiger away from the mountain? !
"Li Yao, I leave this to you!"
Before she finished her words, she rushed out of the secret room like an arrow, her dress fluttering in the wind.
The guards outside the courtyard saw a red figure passing by like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, it jumped onto the horse's back, kicked the horse's belly, and galloped away.
"drive!"
Zhixia whipped the horse on its butt. The warhorse felt pain and quickly raised its front hooves, neighing and rushing out.
Li Yao also reacted quickly. He folded the folding fan in his hand and shouted, "Leave ten people to seal off the scene. The rest of you, follow me to rescue!"
If things go as expected, this must be the work of that enchantress Gu Yanran. She should not have gone far yet. He will go to his eldest brother to mobilize troops and immediately block the city gates.
Soon, Zhixia rode on his warhorse and rushed towards the post station like an arrow.
From a distance, one could vaguely see a fire appearing in the direction of the posthouse, lighting up half of the sky.
Zhixia's breathing stagnated and she whipped the horse even harder, wishing she could fly directly back to the inn.
"Your Highness!"
When they arrived at the posthouse, Zhixia jumped off the horse before it even stopped and staggered towards the wing room filled with smoke.
The heat wave hit us in the face, making it impossible to open our eyes.
Just as Zhixia was about to jump in, she heard someone behind her shouting:
"Miss Zhixia, you've come at the right time. The princess is injured and is in the next room. Please go and take a look!"
Zhixia suddenly stopped in her tracks, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.
The next second, she turned decisively and rushed to the next courtyard.
The moment he opened the door, he saw Chu Qingluan's pale profile. She was bandaging the wound on her arm with one hand, and there were glaring bloodstains on her snow-white shirt.
"Your Highness!"
Zhixia suddenly fell to her knees, her voice trembling: "Where's the doctor? Why is there no one to serve you?"
Chu Qingluan raised her eyes, her hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat, "Ying Qi was seriously injured while protecting me, the doctors have gone to save him."
"But your injury..."
"I only have superficial injuries, it's nothing serious."
Zhixia looked around and soon found a familiar white powder at the corner of Chu Qingluan's clothes. She was immediately shocked.
"Your Highness! Has Gu Yanran been here?"
Chu Qingluan nodded slightly.
A quarter of an hour ago, she was reviewing a military newspaper when she suddenly smelled a faint sweet fragrance. Her hand holding the pen paused slightly, and she caught a glimpse of the gauze curtain in the bronze mirror, which was moving without wind.
Chu Qingluan immediately became alert, she had a feeling that the person coming was quite powerful.
"Now that you're here, why do you need to hide?"
Chu Qingluan didn't look up, but her fingers slowly clenched the pen.
At this moment, a silver bell-like laughter exploded behind him, "Your Highness is very perceptive, hehe~"
Chu Qingluan turned around abruptly, and the wolf hair brush in her hand flew out, locking the opponent's throat.
However, the other party seemed to have anticipated her movements and dodged with a slight dodge. At the same time, a silver-white stream of light brushed past Chu Qingluan's arm and disappeared into the window frame behind her with a "ding" sound.
——It was actually a bone hairpin.
At this time, Gu Yanran's figure slowly emerged from the shadows. She was still wearing a fiery red gauze dress. With every step she took, a phosphorescent lotus bloomed on the ground.
She tilted her head and looked at Chu Qingluan, the corners of her eyes as red as blood.
"Chu Qingluan, you didn't expect that this Saint Girl would be able to come out alive and take your life with my own hands."
"You're not dead yet?"
Chu Qingluan stood up slowly, and the dagger in her sleeve had already slipped into her palm.
She had heard before that Gu Yanran was locked in a secret room by Qi Che, and that he used men to punish her every day.
Unexpectedly, two months later, not only did Gu Yanran survive, she also mastered some evil skills.
"Thanks to your highness."
Gu Yanran smiled lazily and gently shook the silver bell on her wrist. A dizzying sound instantly rang in her mind.
"I am in hell... but I miss you every day..."
Immediately afterwards, the picture in front of Chu Qingluan began to become distorted and blurred, and her eyes began to gradually lose focus.
Gu Yanran smiled evilly, her five fingers formed into claws, and was about to grab Chu Qingluan's chest.
At this critical moment.
“Zheng——”
A dark shadow broke through the window like a ghost.
The white sword flashed past, and the silver bell on Gu Yanran's wrist broke. The crisp ringing sound also stopped abruptly.
The next second, Chu Qingluan suddenly woke up, and the dagger in his hand stabbed out like a poisonous snake!
“Puff!”
The blade pierced into Gu Yanran's shoulder, splashing a string of blood.
Everything happened so fast that Gu Yanran was caught off guard and was stabbed. She staggered back, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.
She didn't expect that Chu Qingluan could break free from her control so quickly.
What she didn't expect was that there was a powerful secret guard hiding beside her.
"Shadow Seven!" Chu Qingluan shouted.
Immediately afterwards, Shadow Seven's swords were as powerful as rainbows, and each move was aimed at Gu Yanran's vital points.
As Gu Yanran responded hastily, her gauze dress was torn into pieces by the sword energy, revealing her neck and arms covered with strange patterns.
She gritted her teeth and sneered: "I underestimated you."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly threw out a handful of white powder. Ying Qi hurriedly waved his sword to block it, but saw that the powder actually ignited when it met the wind, and "boom" turned into a wall of fire!
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Ying Qi spun around and stood in front of Chu Qingluan, and his back was immediately burned by the flames.
Taking advantage of the gap, Gu Yanran had already leaped towards the window frame, and when she turned back she gave a seductive smile: "This fire, let's consider it as a gift to His Highness~"
The moment her figure disappeared, the burning curtain collapsed, and the flames instantly engulfed the entire room.
Ying Qi desperately protected Chu Qingluan from escaping the sea of fire, but he himself suffered extensive burns all over his body and his life or death was in danger.
"Your Highness, I will ask Lord Li to issue a notice to search the whole city for that evil woman!" Zhixia said with gritted teeth.
She really regretted not stabbing Gu Yanran to death with a single sword at the beginning, and now the princess was injured.
Chu Qingluan nodded slightly and warned: "Gu Yanran is no longer the same as before. This evil skill is hard to guard against. Tell everyone to be careful. If you are defeated, don't try to be brave."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a domineering voice coming from the door.
"Your Highness! I promise that this time, that evil woman will be nowhere to hide!"
