At the highest point of the hillside.
Jia Yiding's deputy, Wang Tianle, held a knife to Gu Jingchun's neck and shouted sharply.
"Mo Junxing, stop right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stopped what they were doing.
Mo Junxing stared at the sword on Gu Jingchun's neck, his eyes cold, the glint of which shot straight at Wang Tianle like a sharp arrow.
Wang Tianle was also startled by his gaze, and his movements paused slightly.
But then he thought that Mo Junxing was only at his last gasp, which gave him more confidence, and he looked at Mo Junxing with more self-assurance.
"Mo Junxing, your beloved woman is now in my hands. If you surrender now, I will release her."
"otherwise……"
"hehe……"
He gave a cold laugh and tightened his grip on the knife.
At this moment, Shen Hechuan had already quietly arrived at Gu Jingchun's side.
Because it was in the dark and hidden among the crowd, it was not conspicuous.
However, Mo Junxing saw him at first glance.
The two exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away.
Mo Junxing chuckled lightly after hearing Wang Tianle's words.
"It seems that my mother is getting worse with age, and the dogs she keeps are getting worse and worse."
"She's just a woman, yet she dares to try and control me?"
Wang Tianle simply didn't believe that Mo Junxing would be indifferent to this woman, and immediately let out a cold laugh.
"Mo Junxing, even if you want to argue, it's useless. Do you think I'll let her go just because you say that?"
"dream!"
"Since you care about her, then I'll keep killing her! How about that?"
Mo Junxing chuckled softly.
"OK!"
"Then kill her!"
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Shen Hechuan, who was hidden in the shadows.
He had already used the terrain to quietly climb to Wang Tianle's side.
His gaze also fell on Mo Junxing, he silently met his eyes, and nodded very slightly.
Mo Junxing looked away with "disgust," gave a cold laugh, and raised the bow and arrow in his hand.
"Since you're going to kill me, how about I help you?"
As he spoke, he had already drawn his longbow, his tone filled with coldness.
"I'll settle accounts with you slowly after I kill her."
Wang Tianle was somewhat surprised as he watched Mo Junxing draw his longbow and aim it at Gu Jingchun.
He didn't care whether Gu Jingchun lived or died.
She was only concerned that she had failed to control Mo Junxing this time, and had instead angered him.
What a waste of such a good opportunity.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, watching as Mo Junxing released his grip and the long arrow in his hand shot straight towards Gu Jingchun.
Just then, a strong force came from Wang Tianle's side, and his body uncontrollably tilted towards Gu Jingchun.
With a "whoosh," the long arrow that Mo Junxing shot pierced straight into Wang Tianle's chest.
He looked down in disbelief at the long arrow lodged in his chest, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and slowly collapsed.
When Gu Jingchun was taken hostage by Wang Tianle, he quickly came up with a plan.
She still held the hidden dart in her hand, intending to stab Wang Tianle directly.
However, upon hearing Wang Tianle's words, he exchanged a glance with Mo Junxing.
The two weren't close, but she saw the word "trust" in his eyes.
Moreover, she clearly saw Mo Junxing's gaze shift for a moment.
He seemed to exchange a glance with someone.
In that instant, she had a vague idea of what to do.
So when Mo Jun was about to shoot the arrow, although she was afraid, she still chose to believe him.
Not only that, she also made two preparations. The moment the long arrow was shot, she quickly activated the mechanism, preparing to shoot it at Wang Tianle's arm, while dodging away in an instant.
But to his surprise, he didn't even need to use his trick, and he had already turned the danger into safety.
She lay on the ground, looking at Wang Tianle who was already dead, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
She clutched her chest, her gaze shifting from Wang Tianle upwards before quickly settling on Shen Hechuan.
Seeing his beloved standing in front of him, Gu Jingchun was overjoyed. Without thinking, he immediately threw himself into Shen Hechuan's arms and hugged him tightly.
Shen Hechuan finally found Gu Jingchun and hugged her tightly, wishing he could merge her into his own body, unwilling to let go of her for even a second.
The joy of finding what he had lost brought tears to his eyes, and a wave of heat washed over him, soaking his clothes.
Gu Jingchun felt the damp heat on his shoulder, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his head.
Shen Hechuan looked at her, his face flushed.
"Thank goodness, you're alright!"
"fine!"
He murmured, like a silent murmur, or like the repeated joy of regaining what was lost.
Gu Jingchun gently patted his back.
A gentle voice fell beside his ear.
"It's alright, it's alright, I'm back, Mu Qian, I'm back, you found me."
Shen Hechuan nodded, but his grip on Gu Jingchun tightened even more.
And around the two of them.
The Heavenly Secrets and the Earthly Branches, along with all their followers, surrounded the two.
They surrounded them like an iron barrel, leaving him with only one path if anyone approached.
That is—death!
Meanwhile, below the hillside.
Mo Junxing has already clashed with Empress Xiao's forces again.
The two sides fought fiercely and evenly, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.
Mo Junxing's movements were restricted because his injuries had not yet healed, and he was unable to move at all.
Han Sheng was injured while protecting him.
He saw the blood on Han Sheng's arm, his eyes grew colder, and he shouted.
"Hansheng!"
Han Sheng killed the man with a single blow, then glanced at Mo Junxing.
"My lord, I'm alright! Don't worry!"
At that moment, Mo Junxing pulled out a signal flare from his pocket and was about to detonate it when Han Sheng arrived in time and stopped him.
"Your Majesty, no, absolutely not!"
Mo Junxing: "Let go!"
Han Sheng's voice held a hint of pleading.
"Your Majesty, if you send people from the border to come, Empress Dowager Xiao will surely take advantage of the situation and then all your hard work will be for naught!"
Mo Junxing's gaze, however, fell on Han Sheng's arm.
It landed on the two people embracing on the hillside.
His gaze grew colder, as if he wanted nothing more than to chop the two people embracing each other to pieces right now.
They even wished they could tear Shen Hechuan to pieces right now.
Seeing this, his eyes gained even more determination.
“If we don’t call them here, even if we win, we will suffer heavy casualties.”
I will not let you die here, nor do I want to sacrifice your lives for my own power.
