Long Xun: "..." The Gu woman's brain seems to be working even worse.
The Gu woman lifted the hem of her skirt and ran quickly to Chen Ziqi's side, anxiously saying, "Don't be afraid, Ziqi, I'll save you right now!"
As the melodious sound of insect flutes rang out, rings of purple light emanated from the Gu woman's body. Even Long Xun felt a cool sensation coursing through his body, and the milk tea on his shoulder hummed comfortably.
In a moment of excitement, the Gu woman used a Thousand Butterflies spell...
Chen Ziqi's weak breathing finally stabilized. After a short while, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she opened her eyes. Her limbs were weak, and she sat up. If it weren't for the holes in her clothes, you would never have guessed that she had just been seriously injured and on the verge of death.
"Brother Long, Gu Nu, thank you." Chen Ziqi waved his hand and said lightly.
Gu Nu then noticed that Long Xun was also there. She excitedly said, "Dragon God, it's been so long! You're back from disaster relief? You're not leaving this time, are you? Emma Milk Tea is still so cute!"
Milk Tea, suddenly praised, squeaked and shyly buried her face between her little paws. She slowly crawled to Long Xun's collar, curling up into a fluffy ball so no one could see her.
Long pondered for a moment, realizing that since the disaster relief efforts only involved a small follow-up and he wasn't needed there, he nodded and turned to Chen Ziqi, asking, "How did you end up like this?"
The Gu woman thought for a moment and said angrily, "Is it that bastard Prince Pingnan again?"
Chen Ziqi sighed, nodded, and then shook his head: "Some of these injuries are from that person's subordinates, and some are from the Rakshasa Cult."
Long Xun: "???" It seems a lot has happened during his absence from the capital.
Following Chen Ziqi's main presentation, Long Xun asked questions, and Gu Nu provided supplementary information, thus providing a comprehensive overview of the events that had occurred in the capital.
When Long Xun left the capital, the Embroidered Bandit had just emerged. Because Hua Manlou was blind, and the Embroidered Bandit was embroidering blindness, the kind-hearted Hua Manlou was filled with anger towards this bandit. Lu Xiaoji also knew about his friend's situation and felt that he could not ignore it, so he brought Xue Bing all the way to the capital.
After Gu Nu and Chen Ziqi met Lu Xiaofeng, they told him that they knew who the Embroidered Bandit was and could tell him, but they had no evidence and Lu Xiaofeng would have to find out for himself.
Lu Xiaofeng was skeptical of the two girls' words, but he decided to continue investigating the case in his own way. Then, the Snake King, Granny Gongsun, and the Red Shoes appeared one by one, and finally the truth was revealed. Jin Jiuling was dead, but Xue Bing was saved because Gu Nu Chen Ziqi and the other girl were watching her whereabouts. They prevented her from being killed by Jin Jiuling and saved the girl's life.
Xue Bing returned, but before Jin Jiuling died, he revealed the impending battle between the Sword God and the Sword Immortal: on the night of the full moon, at the summit of Zijin, a sword would come from the west, and a celestial being would descend from the heavens.
Because the plot involving the Great Roc King was abandoned, Sun Xiuqing did not become the wife of the Wanmei Manor Master. The original story of Ximen Chuixue postponing the decisive battle because his wife was pregnant did not happen, but this time it was Ye Gucheng who postponed the decisive battle and changed the location of the decisive battle.
Because Ye Gucheng was successfully turned against his own side by Chen Ziqi and the Gu woman.
Actually, the two girls didn't do much. They just told Ye Gucheng that his rebellion was destined to fail because the emperor already knew about it. They told him that the emperor had a book that recorded every action of those who rebelled or intended to rebel.
Ye Gucheng went there and even stabbed the emperor, but the smiling emperor remained calm. After the little silver dragon phantom blocked Ye Gucheng's sword, he only sighed to him, "You were a beautiful woman, why did you join the traitor?" Ye Gucheng was then turned to the enemy.
Since he couldn't kill the emperor, and probably no one else in the world could kill him, the most crucial element of the rebellion—killing the emperor and taking his place—would not work.
Moreover, Ye Gucheng felt that compared to the Prince of the South, whose IQ was always offline, the Emperor was obviously a very smart person. He had indeed known about the Prince of the South's rebellion plan all along and had been watching these people jump around with a smile, as if watching an interesting monkey show.
That person's scheming was terrifying. Ye Gucheng suddenly didn't think anyone could really take his throne away unless he himself was willing to abdicate.
But how could that be possible?
In order to protect Baiyun City, Ye Gucheng readily agreed to Yin Chen's scheme. After returning, he wrote a letter to Ximen Chuixue, changing the time and place of the decisive battle to September 15th at the Forbidden City.
However... the noble Lord Ye, for some time now, has been frequently inviting Chen Ziqi to drink tea, discuss swordsmanship, and occasionally even have a duel.
Chen Ziqi is a master. Not only is she rare among women, but even among men, only the top figures in the martial arts world could easily defeat her.
She is an assassin, skilled in the art of killing. Victory means life, defeat means death. Swordsmen like Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue do this because of their dedication to the way of the sword, but Chen Ziqi had this awareness the moment she picked up the sword.
Ye Gucheng said that her temperament was suitable for sword practice, and Chen Ziqi also thought that sword practice was good. Moreover, during this period, she had a sense of crisis as an assassin and felt that the people from the Dark Hall might have arrived in the capital to kill her. Therefore, she was more willing to stay with Ye Gucheng, which could be considered as using his name to protect herself.
So, one was willing to give and the other was willing to receive, and the two became good friends who spent all their time playing together, just like the witch Hua Manlou.
The two of them... perhaps it was just that Chen Ziqi felt a pure, camaraderie among swordsmen, but to outsiders, it was not so, especially to the Prince of the South who had been labeled a fool by both the Emperor and Ye Gucheng.
