However, Shen Hechuan suddenly took a step back and dodged.
The woman fell to the ground and stared at Shen Hechuan in astonishment.
Tianji also walked over at this moment. When he saw the woman on the ground, he thought it was Gu Jingchun at first glance, and looked at Shen Hechuan in surprise.
He wondered, "What's wrong with my master? Why is he ignoring Miss Gu?"
However, as soon as the woman raised her head, tears instantly streamed down her face.
Tianji frowned slightly.
He glanced at the Earthly Branches.
Look at this girl, her face clearly resembles Miss Gu's, but why does she look so strange when she cries?
The branch nodded in agreement.
“Miss Gu wouldn’t cry like that.”
Tianji: "So, we've mistaken one person for another?"
The fulcrum.
"Yes."
The woman was kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face, looking up pitifully at Shen Hechuan.
"Young master, you saved me, and I have no way to repay you. If you don't mind, why don't you keep me by your side and let me serve you like a slave?"
As she spoke, she lowered her head and wept. From this angle, she looked remarkably like Gu Jingchun.
Shen Hechuan took another step back and kicked the woman directly.
Immediately afterwards, the longsword was drawn and landed directly on her neck.
Just then, the "ball" that Shen Hechuan had kicked away struggled to its feet.
He looked at Shen Hechuan and immediately took a few steps forward.
But after just a few steps, the fat on his body jiggled a bit, making people want to vomit.
"Who are you, you heartless bastard, daring to hit me, and even daring to touch my woman! Guards... *splat*"
Before he could utter a single word, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He slowly lowered his head and saw a dagger stuck in the middle of his chest.
He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and his enormous body slowly collapsed.
This scene caught the attention of Magistrate Chu, who had just woken up and struggled to his feet. Overwhelmed with grief, he immediately rushed over.
"My son, my son!"
"You dared to kill my son! I'll fight you to the death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tianji made a move, and a hidden weapon landed on Magistrate Chu's thigh.
He clutched his wound and collapsed to the ground, wincing in pain. Just as he was about to speak, the longsword fell on his neck once more.
This time, he obediently shut up.
Even though he was sweating profusely from the pain, he didn't make a sound.
Shen Hechuan slowly withdrew his hand, his gaze falling once again on the woman who looked exactly like Gu Jingchun.
"Tell me, who sent you?"
The woman shook her head innocently.
"Young master, I don't know what you mean."
But I know it was you who saved me.
"If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead here today."
As she spoke, she was about to step forward again, but the sword in Shen Hechuan's hand remained unyielding.
"I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise, my sword has no eyes."
But the woman still tilted her head back, feigning innocence.
Shen Hechuan, however, did not want to talk to her anymore and directly used force, preparing to kill her.
"clang--"
Just as the sword was about to fall, a small dagger blocked Shen Hechuan's sword.
Shen Hechuan raised an eyebrow and a slight smile played on his lips.
The fox's tail has been revealed.
He said.
"You are Mo Junxing's person."
This is a certainty, without any doubt.
The woman, however, flipped over and took a step back. She quickly drew a soft sword from her waist, stood on the table, and stood in opposition to Shen Hechuan, her eyes full of vigilance.
"You're a bit smarter than I thought."
The woman spoke, but Shen Hechuan snorted coldly.
"Mo Junxing is keeping you around, probably just because of your face!"
"He's really pathetic. He couldn't get Gu Jingchun, so he found a substitute to stay by his side. Now, he's even sent you out to block my way and bewitch me."
"Does he think you're even worth a single finger of Gu Jingchun?"
Upon hearing this, the woman's confident expression instantly changed.
Her gaze towards Shen Hechuan held a hint of resentment.
"You're talking nonsense. I am Ye Luo, and I am not anyone's substitute. Don't spout such nonsense."
Shen Hechuan sneered, signaling Dizhi to write down the name, and without saying any more words to her, immediately stepped forward and started fighting with her.
And this woman's skills were also quite impressive.
But she was no match for Shen Hechuan either. Just when she was at a disadvantage and about to be in danger.
Several more women flew out from the corner, who were huddled together in fear, and attacked from behind Shen Hechuan.
Upon seeing this, Tianji and Dizhi immediately stepped forward and quickly engaged in combat with the other party.
The woman took advantage of this moment to escape.
Seeing this, Shen Hechuan sheathed his sword and stopped pursuing.
The Heavenly Secrets and Earthly Branches behind them also dealt with the people and rushed over.
"Master, what do we do now? Should we continue the pursuit?"
Shen Hechuan shook his head.
"No need to chase."
“These people were deliberately sent by Mo Junxing to obstruct us, which means that he has not yet left the territory of Dacheng.”
"This also shows that we are on the right track."
As he spoke, a glimmer of hope filled his heart.
"Leave one person behind to clean up this mess, and the rest of you follow me and hurry on our way."
After Shen Hechuan finished speaking, he immediately led his men out in a hurry, mounted their horses, and galloped away.
Tianji behind him instinctively clenched his flanks and kept chasing after him.
"Master, Master, please slow down."
You haven't taken your medicine yet!
******
As darkness fell, night quietly descended.
Gu Jingchun, dressed in plain clothes, was slumped over the table in front of the bed, half asleep.
Mo Junxing lay on the bed, his face flushed and his breathing heavy, clearly suffering from a high fever and in great discomfort.
However, Gu Jingchun was so sleepy that he was lying on the table and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
If it weren't for the fact that Mo Junxing was currently occupying the bed, she would have thrown him off the bed and rested herself.
But Gu Jingchun was really uncomfortable lying like that, so he stretched and went to the yard.
The village was very quiet.
Gu Jingchun looked up and saw a bright, clear moon.
Come to think of it, it had been a long time since she had seen such a big and round moon.
Back when we were still at the inn.
Shen Hechuan liked to hold her and look up at the moon together.
At that time, he often said that no matter where they were, there was only one moon.
Therefore, whenever we look up, all we see is the moon.
Only the moon can express our sorrow.
Gu Jingchun liked to refute him at that time.
"Who said that? There are stars too! Stars are fine too."
Shen Hechuan shook his head.
"No, there are too many stars, but the moon is different."
