"What a joke!"
"I've been lying low in the palace for so many years, and I never imagined that my exposure would be caused by this!"
She looked at Gu Jinxi.
I never imagined that I would be defeated by a child in the end.
After the palace maid was captured, Gu Jinxi immediately guessed that it was probably related to Gu Jingchun's abduction.
Therefore, Gu Jinxi immediately sent a message to Shen Hechuan informing him that she had caught Mo Junxing as a spy.
For safety reasons, a copy of the message was also sent to Ye Wenxi.
Upon receiving the news, Ye Wenxi immediately relayed it to Xin Shengyuan.
Xin Shengyuan immediately told Gu Jingchun the news after their last meeting.
Gu Jingchun breathed a sigh of relief and considered bringing Empress Dowager Xiao over to restrain Mo Junxing so that he could escape.
*****
Let's return to Gu Jingchun's side.
At this time, the night was deep.
On the once silent hillside, countless torches tore through the thick darkness, illuminating the entire mountainside.
Before Gu Jingchun could make a move, Shen Hechuan had already sensed her intentions, so he immediately got up and rushed towards Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun also noticed Shen Hechuan rushing over, and with a surge of joy, he also rushed towards Shen Hechuan's direction.
Just then, several people suddenly appeared behind them.
They grabbed Gu Jingchun and flew up behind Mo Junxing.
At this moment, Empress Xiao's troops had already engaged in a fierce battle with Mo Junxing's elite forces on the hillside.
Both sides had elite troops, and although their numbers were not large, they fought a fierce and evenly matched battle.
Mo Junxing stood at the back of the crowd and chuckled when he saw his men bring Gu Jingchun back.
"You're back?"
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his lips curling up slightly, like a bloodthirsty wolf.
"I told you, you're not leaving!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun realized that Mo Junxing had probably been prepared, and immediately flew into a rage, cursing loudly!
"Mo Junxing, you're a madman..."
"Aren't you afraid that Dacheng will go to war with your Daqi?"
Mo Junxing chuckled softly.
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. So, to prevent the army from starting a war, I've decided to just kill Shen Hechuan. What do you think?"
Gu Jingchun's expression turned even more shocked upon hearing this.
"You really are a madman!"
Mo Junxing chuckled and pinched Gu Jingchun's cheek.
“I thought you already knew this, but even so, you still wanted to run away.”
"You're being naughty, really naughty."
Meanwhile, on the other side...
A tall, long-legged man with a stubble beard was watching the scene with great interest.
This man was named Jia Yiding, and he was Empress Xiao's most capable and valiant general.
Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he has also made numerous military achievements over the years.
Moreover, he was tall and strong, and enjoyed Empress Dowager Xiao's deep trust, allowing him to freely enter and leave her palace.
Empress Dowager Xiao also treated him with great leniency.
That's why people in the palace were spreading rumors.
He was a close confidant of Empress Xiao.
That is why Empress Dowager Xiao sent him out this time, entrusting him with such an important task.
At this moment, Jia Yiding unconsciously touched his beard and couldn't help but ask the deputy general beside him.
Who is that woman?
"To think that our monarch would care so much!"
The lieutenant glanced at it and immediately spoke.
"This must be the woman the monarch cared about before. I heard she died, but I didn't expect her to be alive now?"
Jia Yiding frowned slightly.
The lieutenant then recounted to him what Gu Jingchun had done in Daqi.
Jia Yiding then understood and nodded.
But then the lieutenant suddenly realized what he meant.
"I understand now. Presumably, it was because of this woman that the monarch recklessly rushed to Dacheng!"
"Ha, I never expected that the most cold-blooded and ruthless madman in our Great Qi would actually be a romantic. He really gave our Empress Dowager Xiao an opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Jia Yiding became interested and began to observe the situation on the other side more closely.
"The woman he cares about?"
Jia Yiding's gaze shifted, finally settling on Gu Jingchun's face.
"To be willing to risk everything to go to Dacheng for this woman, it seems..."
He said this with a smile.
"Oh--"
"I've figured out a way to deal with Mo Junxing."
Jia Yiding burst into laughter.
"Pass down the order: everyone should now focus their attention on that woman and kill her."
Upon hearing this, the lieutenant was taken aback for a moment before realizing what was happening.
"General, that was a brilliant move of yours!"
"If Mo Junxing really cares about that woman, he will definitely make everyone protect her. This means that we have grasped Mo Junxing's weakness."
"But... what if he hadn't saved those women?"
Jia Yiding snorted indifferently.
"If they don't want to save her, they don't have to. She's just a woman; there are plenty of women like her in this world. If she dies, she dies."
After Jia Yiding finished speaking, everyone rushed towards Gu Jingchun's direction.
Mo Junxing also keenly noticed the change in the opponent's offensive and immediately gave an order with a cold face.
“Protect Gu Jingchun. If anything happens to her, you will be held responsible.”
Everyone immediately turned back to defend Gu Jingchun, and the battle situation changed drastically once again.
In the chaos, the control loosened slightly.
Gu Jingchun gripped his homemade hidden arrow tightly, looking around warily to prevent anyone from getting close.
Mo Junxing covered his abdominal wound and pulled her behind him to protect her.
