Chapter 501 Pampering the Darling! (Second Update)
Many people's fates changed, such as the people in the city, but some people's fates did not change, such as Rong Fu, who still left his life here.
If there's anything different from the dream, it's probably that this time he died without a complete corpse.
With Rong Fu's head falling, the morale of the Chen army plummeted, and the swords they had been holding lost their aim!
The Chen soldiers, who were confident of victory, watched as the Gu family's iron cavalry surged toward them like a torrent. Their speed was too fast and their momentum too fierce. The Chen soldiers were dumbfounded!
The Gu family's iron cavalry effortlessly broke through the Chen army's ranks, but they did not linger outside the city. Instead, they followed Gu Changqing and charged into the city gates!
Just as the Chen army outside the city breathed a sigh of relief, the Gu family's infantry arrived, wielding swords in one hand and shields in the other, charging towards the Chen soldiers with great momentum!
This was a complete and utter defeat!
Having fought the Chen soldiers in the city all night, Gu Chengfeng was numb with bloodlust. He had almost forgotten who he was and where he was. He only remembered that as long as he had a breath left, he would keep fighting...
"Watch out, Lord Gu!"
Lieutenant General Li, who was dozens of steps away, had just raised his hand to block an attack from a Chen soldier when he saw Gu Chengfeng being attacked from three sides. One of the Chen soldiers' longswords struck his back, and the armor on his back, which was already broken, was completely torn apart by this sword.
Covered in wounds, he was exposed to the enemy's sword.
Gu Chengfeng was out of strength.
He couldn't even take his last breath.
He's really going to die.
sorry.
Eldest brother, grandfather.
I can't hold on any longer...
He fell straight down face down.
The Chen soldiers' swords stabbed fiercely towards his back!
However, before their swords could even harm Gu Chengfeng, they were blocked by a gleaming longsword. With a sweep of the longsword, the sword energy was like a rainbow, and the three Chen soldiers died instantly!
Gu Chengfeng didn't fall hard; he was caught by a strong arm.
Gu Changqing knelt on one knee in front of him and helped his brother, who was covered in blood.
Gu Chengfeng glanced at him with blurred vision, then everything went black, and he fainted...
The Gu family's iron cavalry quickly took control of the situation at the city gate. The left commander led five thousand iron cavalry to drive straight in and pursue and kill the Chen soldiers who were burning, killing and looting. Gu Changqing handed his younger brother over to a deputy general, while he himself led two thousand infantrymen to storm the city wall.
We don't need so many men to deal with the Chen soldiers on the city wall who are already terrified, but this battle needs to be won quickly.
As the last enemy soldier was eliminated, the rising sun broke through the snow in the east, casting a dazzling morning light over the blood-stained city walls.
The cold wind howled past, cutting like knives across everyone's face.
He had been killing the garrison all night, gripping his weapon tightly, his fingers so stiff he couldn't pry them open.
Gu Jiao stood on the rooftop bathed in the morning light, holding a red-tasseled spear, with the banners of the Zhao Kingdom fluttering behind her.
She slowly raised her stiff, aching hand and took off her helmet, which was covered in sweat and blood.
The war was extinguished, leaving behind only ruins and devastation.
Holding her red-tasseled spear and helmet, Gu Jiao stared intently at the war-torn city.
The morning light shone on her blood-stained face, casting a golden glow.
The wounded defenders were either helped, carried, or lifted by the Gu family army, leaving the battlefield where they had fought to the last moment with their lives.
Tang Yueshan lay on a stretcher and was carried away by two members of the Gu family army.
He either fainted or fell asleep from exhaustion, I don't know.
The entire battlefield was completely silent.
Gu Changqing arrived at the foot of the city wall, looked up at her intently, and asked, "Can you come down?"
"I can't get down," Gu Jiao said.
Gu Changqing leaped onto the roof of the city tower and carried Gu Jiao, who was exhausted and stiff in all four limbs, down to safety.
It took him a great deal of effort to pry her fingers off the red-tasseled spear one by one.
She sat blankly in a wrecked car, and Gu Changqing knelt down in front of her, taking out a handkerchief to wipe her face little by little.
His coldness and ferocity faded, leaving only his gentle eyes and brows.
Gu Jiajun, who was standing nearby, was so shocked by what he saw that his jaw almost dropped.
Is this really the cold-blooded, aloof young master of Yama's Palace? He's spoiling a lowly soldier?
The cold-faced, aloof young master looked at the most powerful soldier in the world with gentle eyes and said softly, "It's alright, we won."
"Hmm." Gu Jiao remained dazed.
Gu Changqing gently wiped the bloodstains from her cheeks and hands. With each wipe, his heart clenched. Only when he wiped them clean and discovered that it was someone else's blood did he finally breathe a long sigh of relief.
His sister defended the city very well and protected herself very well as well.
very nice.
No one knew how relieved Gu Changqing was at this moment. When he learned that she and Gu Chengfeng had disappeared from the capital at the same time, he knew that the two of them had gone north. His heart was hanging in suspense day and night, not only worrying about the people on the border and the territory of Zhao Kingdom, but also about the two little ones.
Strictly speaking, Gu Chengfeng is not young anymore.
But in the heart of the eldest brother, he will always be the younger brother from his childhood.
"The armor is heavy, let me help you take it off." Gu Changqing said, and began to remove the armor for her. Just like before, she didn't object and just sat there obediently.
But after Gu Changqing removed his armor, he finally realized something was wrong.
Her small body was tense, her hands gripping the car floor tightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress something.
Gu Changqing looked at her: "Jiaojiao."
Gu Jiao said blankly, "No, we can't kill anyone."
Gu Changqing didn't quite understand the meaning of those words. After thinking about it himself, he nodded and said, "Yes, we don't need to kill anyone anymore."
"I won't kill them." Gu Jiao shook her head blankly.
Her small body tensed up, and a murderous glint gradually appeared in her eyes.
During this period, she saved too many people and killed too many people. The stench of blood was too strong, and she had been immersed in it for too long, exceeding her limit. Even without strong stimulation, she was about to lose control.
"I...I can't control myself anymore..."
The violent impulses within her surged endlessly, and her eyes turned red.
A strong sense of surprise flashed across Gu Changqing's eyes. He put down the handkerchief and cupped her face in his hands: "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, look at me."
Gu Jiao pushed him away!
The red-tasseled spear stood beside her. She reached out to grab it, but instead of the shaft, she grabbed the sharp, pointed tip!
Gu Changqing's expression changed drastically. Was she trying to use pain to bring herself back to her senses? Was she hurting herself first because she couldn't kill anyone?
Gu Changqing quickly stood up and grabbed the gun barrel before she could react.
Her hand grasped the back of his hand.
Almost at the same moment, Gu Changqing reached out his other hand and pressed her sleeping acupoint.
She closed her eyes and fell into his arms.
...
When Gu Jiao woke up, she was lying in an unfamiliar tent. She blinked, stood there blankly for a moment, and then turned her little head to look around.
"woke up?"
Gu Changqing put down the letter he had been reading for half a minute, stood up from the stool, walked to the simple couch covered with a thick quilt and tiger skin, sat down, and reached out to touch her forehead.
“This is my tent,” Gu Changqing asked. “How are you feeling?”
Gu Jiao carefully felt it and said, "It's very good, the leather is very warm." She wanted one too.
Gu Changqing: "..."
I'm asking about your health.
Gu Changqing was amused by her serious yet naturally naive appearance. She was usually calm and composed, and rarely showed such an undeniable childlike side.
However, since she can say something like that, she must be alright.
"Is there something you need?" Gu Jiao asked Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing shook his head and smiled slightly: "I'm fine."
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
"You..." Gu Changqing was about to ask her what had just happened, but he swallowed the words and asked instead, "Have you ever done this before?"
Gu Jiao thought about it for a moment and ultimately did not deny it; she nodded.
Gu Changqing: "Often?"
Gu Jiao shook her head.
She sat up and suddenly felt something on her neck. She reached in and pulled it out, finding it was a small purse strung on a red string.
“What is this?” she asked.
Gu Changqing said, "The amulet is something Princess Xinyang asked me to bring to you before I left the capital. She said she personally went to the temple to get it and told me to make sure you wear it. Your breathing became much more stable after you put it on just now."
The murderous aura was gone.
Gu Jiao smelled the amulet; it contained herbs that seemed to have been scented, so she couldn't smell their original scent.
But she finds the smell pleasant.
like!
Gu Changqing gave his younger sister a deep look, seemingly understanding why Princess Xinyang had instructed him to put it on her; it was probably to help calm Gu Jiao's mind.
It seems that Princess Xinyang was aware of her situation and cared about her very much.
Gu Changqing asked in confusion, "You know Princess Xinyang?"
Gu Jiao held the small amulet in both hands and nodded, "My mother-in-law!"
Okay, my older brother and mother-in-law both spoil me!
Lying in the wounded soldiers' camp, Gu Chengfeng asked, "Brother, do you still remember Xiao Fengfeng by Daming Lake?"
