"Young master, why are you so stubborn!"
"I warned you long ago that men are the most unreliable thing. You should be obsessed with power instead of love!"
"Look, I've already prepared everything for you. Now all I have to do is nod, and you can stand at the pinnacle of power. Then, what kind of man can't you have?"
Why be obsessed with this man now?
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly.
"Guan Zhixin, you don't need to waste your breath anymore."
"I certainly like rights, but the rights I want are those that are upright and genuinely good for the people, not those that disregard the well-being of millions of people for my own purposes."
Upon hearing this, Guan Zhixin slapped the back of the chair.
Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles!
"It's just a few lives. They're dead, so be it. As long as you succeed, they'll be heroes. Isn't that kind of glory better than living a miserable life?"
Guan Zhixin spoke with righteous indignation, but Gu Jingchun remained unmoved and immediately said, "Therefore, I can conclude that you are destined to fail!"
She slowly stood up and stared straight at Guan Zhixin.
"Because you simply don't understand that a ruler must first and foremost serve the people!"
“If you treat human life as worthless, it means you have lost the hearts of the people, and failure is only a matter of time.”
"No!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Guan Zhixin shouted angrily.
"I've been planning this for so long, and now I'm just one last step away from success. I'm sure I'll succeed."
He went completely mad because of it.
"My lord, whether you like it or not, now that you're here, don't even think about leaving. I will make you the first empress in the world."
As he spoke, he threw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Now, this place is surrounded by me, and you can't leave."
Gu Jingchun snorted coldly.
"Then you'll have to see if you have the ability."
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he suddenly clapped his hands, and instantly a series of neat and uniform footsteps rang out outside.
Guan Zhixin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Mao Zixiao couldn't help but glance outside.
A moment later, he hurriedly returned.
"Master, this is terrible! Our people are surrounded!"
Guan Zhixin was utterly shocked.
"When did you bring so many people?"
Gu Jingchun: "Since I'm coming to see you, I naturally need to be fully prepared. If I didn't have extra manpower, how could I dare to come here alone?"
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Shen Hechuan and his men were galloping wildly through the valley.
When he saw the rolling stones falling, he patted the horse's back with all his might.
But then, suddenly several traps appeared on the originally flat valley, along with countless barbs and ropes.
It looked like it was about to be trampled by the horse's hooves.
Just then, a group of people suddenly appeared on the other side.
Ye Wenxi sat high on his horse, leading countless people as they charged towards him from the opposite direction.
They were clearly well-trained; as they cut the ropes on the ground with their knives, they also raised their long whips and lashed the ground swiftly, accurately slicing away the spikes.
Almost instantly, all the mechanisms were dealt with and cleaned up.
All of this happened so fast.
Ye Wenxi's horse passed Shen Hechuan's horse in the blink of an eye.
Behind Shen Hechuan were huge rocks falling.
At that critical moment, the instant Shen Hechuan met Ye Wenxi's gaze, he reached out and grasped Ye Wenxi's hand.
With a forceful pull, he dragged Ye Wenxi onto his horse.
The same applies to the Heavenly Secrets and Earthly Branches behind him and the other guards.
He pulled all of Ye Wenxi's men onto his horse and sped off.
When the group emerged from the valley, Shen Hechuan looked at the giant rock behind him and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Wenxi spoke slowly from behind: "Your Majesty, I have saved your life. You must remember this favor. I will come to collect it in the future."
Shen Hechuan snorted coldly.
"So verbose!"
"Who sent you!"
Ye Wenxi paused for a moment before speaking.
"Jingchun".
"She anticipated that you might be in danger, so she sent me to rescue you ahead of time."
"I hid in the grass for a whole day to avoid being discovered."
Shen Hechuan was slightly surprised upon hearing this.
"You mean, Jing Chun had already guessed that you knew all this, so he specially sent you here to rescue me."
Ye Wenxi nodded.
Shen Hechuan pondered for a moment.
"What if I hadn't chosen to come over and had just turned around and left?"
Ye Wenxi smiled.
"Jingchun said you would definitely come, didn't you?"
Shen Hechuan nodded.
"Yes."
Ye Wenxi nodded in agreement.
"Although I don't like you, I believe you will come."
"Otherwise, how could I entrust her to you with peace of mind?"
Shen Hechuan gave a smug "humph" and glanced at Ye Wenxi before asking him.
Where is Jingchun?
Ye Wenxi: "I don't know!"
Shen Hechuan suddenly pulled on the reins, turned his head to glare at Ye Wenxi, but found that the two of them were now too close.
"Get out!"
Ye Wenxi: ...
He coughed once before continuing:
"Okay, to be honest, I really don't know where she is."
"Moreover, even if I knew where she was, she wouldn't let me go there. She only told me to come and rescue you, saying that you would naturally see her when the time came, and the specifics would depend on the signal activity."
As soon as Ye Wenxi finished speaking, countless people suddenly appeared around them, surrounding them completely.
Shen Hechuan swept his sharp gaze around the room.
Finally, they focused on the masked man at the very front.
The man's eyes, the only part of his gaze visible, were fixed intently on Shen Hechuan.
"You can't escape. Surrender now, and we might spare your lives."
Shen Hechuan snorted coldly and drew his longsword directly.
"Then you can give it a try."
Ye Wenxi chuckled softly as well.
“I advise you that instead of using the time to surround us, you should go back and save your master.”
The masked man snorted coldly, completely unmoved.
Almost instantly, the two sides started fighting.
Inside the dilapidated temple.
When Guan Zhixin learned that he was surrounded, he was not flustered at all; instead, he threw his head back and laughed loudly.
"My little master, you are so naive. Do you really think that you can deal with me just by bringing a few more men?"
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly.
"Of course not."
"But what if we add this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another loud bang was heard.
With a loud "boom," the entire ground shook.
Now, Guan Zhixin couldn't sit still any longer.
He suddenly stood up.
