Gu Yuzhi seemed to have lost all sense of fear. His eyes were instinctively closed, blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his face was slightly distorted because his scalp had been stretched to its limit.
The man grinned maliciously, and with a sudden burst of strength, the tip of his sword slashed through Gu Yuzhi's eyelid!
"Awoo!"
Just then, a wolf howl rang out!
With a flick of his wrist, the tip of the sword instantly slashed across Gu Yuzhi's face, leaving a long trail of blood.
Gu Yuzhi suddenly opened his eyes.
It's a snowy night!
It must be a snowy night!
He could recognize the sounds of the snowy night!
Gu Yuzhi felt a surge of energy welling up inside her. Enduring the excruciating pain, she grabbed the hand that was holding her hair with her small hands, and then used the leverage to clamp her legs together, just like when she usually played around with Xueye. She suddenly exerted force with her legs and twisted them tightly. With a cracking sound, the person's hand involuntarily released Gu Yuzhi's hair, and her arm was hanging in a very strange position, instantly bursting out a painful howl.
The reversal happened at this point.
A large pack of wolves seemed to have suddenly appeared, and there seemed to be countless green eyes along the entire official road.
"Wolf!"
"How could there be wolves!"
They couldn't understand it. This was an official road, not a desolate mountain, and with the heavy snow today, the smell of blood should have been covered up long ago!
Why would it attract wolves?
One or two would be one thing, but so many!
Torches were flying everywhere; clearly, these people wanted to use the torches to drive the wolves away a little.
Their encirclement was getting tighter and tighter, and they whispered among themselves, discussing how to escape the wolf pack's encirclement.
But clearly, these wolves had no intention of letting the group go; they attacked in groups of three or five, tearing at them.
The cries of agony and howls of wolves mingled together instantly, everyone was fighting desperately, and no one paid any attention to Gu Yuzhi's current condition.
At that moment, Gu Yuzhi rolled over and landed, snatched the sword from the man's hand, stabbed him in the stomach with his backhand, and then kicked him away.
Amidst the swirling snow, Gu Yuzhi stood ramrod straight, her long hair fluttering in the wind, her small face taut, seemingly oblivious to the pain.
"Awoo."
Xueye jumped to his side, as if sensing that her little friend was at his last gasp, and nudged him with her head, urging him to get on her back so she could take him back to Xinliang for treatment!
Found it!
Gu Yuzhi climbed onto Xue Ye's back, wrapped one arm tightly around her neck, and whispered, "Xue Ye, do you see that person? He's the mastermind behind it all. Take me to him!"
The salt permit was just the trigger for Li Yanping's actions; there must have been other reasons as well.
But Gu Yuzhi didn't want to know, or rather, he knew that even if Li Yanping were arrested, he definitely wouldn't tell.
Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the moment to find and kill Li Yanping, that big bad guy!
Without Li Yanping, Li Ji Trading Company would definitely fall apart!
Gu Yuzhi patted Xueye's head, then lowered his body and lay on Xueye's back, almost invisible.
Li Yanping was also stunned at this moment. The appearance of the wolf pack was something he had never expected!
He stood there dumbfounded for a long time before turning his numb eyes and staring at a white shadow that was rushing straight toward him!
Without any unnecessary movements, Gu Yuzhi reached Li Yanping's side, stood up, and in Li Yanping's horrified gaze, swung his longsword and slit Li Yanping's throat.
Li Yanping instinctively covered his throat, staring blankly at Gu Yuzhi, making a hissing sound. After a while, he leaned straight back and fell to the ground with a thud.
Gu Yuzhi jumped off Xue Ye's back, picked up his long sword, and slowly walked to Li Yanping's side.
His eyes were starting to glaze over; even though he could no longer see, he still tried to open them in Gu Yuzhi's direction.
Gu Yuzhi looked down at him. He was already dead, but his body was still trembling unconsciously.
This is the man, this ridiculous person, who orchestrated this robbery and murder, killing so many people around him!
Chief Secretary Xie, Marshal Huo, and many of Xinliang's city guards!
The faces of these people flashed through Gu Yuzhi's mind, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The pain that had been blocked out suddenly surged out all at this moment.
His scalp ached, his ribs ached, his stomach ached, and he ached all over his body, but the part he found most unbearable was his head.
The pain was like being pricked with a needle, causing him to involuntarily let go, squat on the ground, and wail while clutching his head.
"It hurts so much."
"Waaaaah, it really hurts! Mother!"
He let out a series of muffled whimpers, and the next moment, his little hands began to pound his head, and he could only make "ah ah" sounds.
Xueye paced anxiously to the side, nudging her with her head and pawing at her with her paws, howling and barking in a panic.
Just then, Gu Yuzhi suddenly stood up, turned around and looked in the direction of Marshal Huo, and then ran wildly in that direction.
Marshal Huo is very likely still alive!
And there's Chief Secretary Xie!
Gu Yuzhi stumbled and staggered as he ran, and in the next instant, he fell to the ground in the snow.
His head hit the ground hard, and when he opened his eyes again, everything was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
But their ears were unusually sharp at this moment. The wolves were howling and the thieves were surrounded. Some fought back, while others were bitten by the wolves and made painful noises.
Gu Yuzhi knew that with Xueye there, he was safe.
He tried, but found he couldn't stand up at all, so he simply crawled forward in the direction he had been going.
Just one more confirmation, just one more confirmation, is Marshal Huo still alive!
"Your Highness!"
Gu Yuzhi looked up blankly, as if he heard the voice of Judge Qin.
But isn't Judge Qin in Xinliang?
How did I end up here?
"Your Highness!"
The voice became clearer, but Gu Yuzhi couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed heavily, his body soon covered with a thin layer of snowflakes.
Xin Liang's horses were not warhorses after all. They sensed the wolf's presence early on and began to panic, stopping in their tracks. If Qin Yuanpan and the others hadn't been holding the reins tightly, these horses would have turned tail and run away instantly.
Qin Yuanpan and the others knew that this was not a solution, so they simply jumped off the carriage and ran wildly towards them, their feet sinking deep into the mud.
"Your Highness!"
Judge Qin ran and shouted as he went. The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
He tried to discern the direction of the snowy night, but the snowy night was almost one with the white snow, and with the torches in front gradually going out, Judge Qin was like a blind man crossing a river, unable to find his way.
Xueye jumped around anxiously in the middle of the night, wanting to fetch Judge Qin, but worried about leaving Gu Yuzhi lying there alone. So she simply raised her head and let out a long "Awoo..."
