Facing a dozen or so guards surrounding her, Shen Ling showed no fear.
Gu Mu was intrigued and wanted to see how the protagonist of this world would handle this situation and whether he would suffer a loss.
These guards are highly skilled; in a real fight, Shen Ling might not be their match.
Of course, Shen Ling might use some underhanded methods, but she probably wouldn't easily reveal her trump card in public.
Just as Gu Mu was wondering what Shen Ling would do next,
Then they saw Shen Ling turn around and give Gu Mu a sweet smile.
She said in an almost coquettish tone, "Could you help me out?"
...
Gu Mu truly did not expect that Shen Ling would ask him for help.
Legend has it that in female-oriented novels, whenever the female protagonist is in danger, a man always appears and protects her like a god descending to earth. Could he be that god?
After all, she's his wife.
It's only right that we help her.
What's more, Shen Ling's smile is so sweet.
Without blinking, Gu Mu flew towards the direction where Chen Ling was.
He can't beat Shen Ling, but he can.
Gu Mu grabbed one of the guards by the neck with one hand and twisted it hard. With a crack, the man's neck snapped and his body slammed to the ground.
At the same time, he kicked another guard, knocking him to the ground, where he couldn't get up for a while.
Then he turned around and snapped the neck of another guard.
The onlookers saw Gu Mu fly up and instantly knock down three guards.
They all gasped in surprise, then showed a relieved expression: "Oh, so this young lady's husband isn't a gigolo!"
"Impressive skills. Looks like you can protect this young lady!"
"What are you talking about? The person on the other side is the son of the Minister of War! Even if you defeat these dozen or so guards, do you think they can escape?"
"That's right. Even if you can beat someone powerful, what good is it? You're still doomed anyway."
After Gu Mu knocked down these dozen or so people, Meng Yi walked over angrily, followed by even more people.
Previously, Meng Yi saw that the dozen or so men couldn't defeat Gu Mu, so he sent his servant to call them over.
They surrounded Gu Mutuan.
Meng Yi glanced at Gu Mu with disdain: "You think you're worthy of marrying such a beautiful girl?"
"Tell me your name! I want to see who's got the guts to hit me!"
Gu Mu was dressed plainly, but although he was handsome and exuded an air of nobility, he only brought three maids with him.
The maid's attire was not that of a maid from a wealthy family.
Therefore, Gu Mu's background must not be very good.
Gu Mu coldly glanced at the people surrounding him.
Finally, his gaze settled on Meng Yi.
"I never expected that Meng Ting, who is quite capable, would raise such a good-for-nothing son." Gu Mu spoke in a very mature tone.
Meng Yi frowned. He simply couldn't believe that the person in front of him was so audacious as to call his father by his name.
His father's name was famous throughout the capital, known to everyone. It was normal for this man from an ordinary family to know his father's name.
But to dare to call him by his name... is it because he knows he's about to die and wants to indulge in some verbal sparring?
"How dare you! How dare you call my father's name like that?" Meng Yi shouted.
"Of course I can call him." Gu Mu smiled and looked at a middle-aged man with a lot of white hair not far away. He got off the carriage not far from them and jogged over quickly.
Meng Ting had been keeping an eye on Meng Yi's every move, just in case Meng Yi offended someone he shouldn't have.
After all, he was the Minister of War, but there were others in the capital who were above him.
As for Meng Yi bullying some ordinary people, Meng Ting just turned a blind eye, as long as his son was happy.
But today, Meng Ting was supposed to be enjoying a pleasant time with his concubine at home...
Suddenly, the person monitoring Meng Yi came to report that Meng Yi had offended the regent!
During this time, because of his crooked sitting posture, Meng Ting was always on edge whenever he saw Gu Mu, fearing that he might lose his head at any moment.
Is this regent someone Meng Yi can afford to offend?
Meng Ting took a deep breath and asked tremblingly, "What did Meng Yi do to offend the Regent? Aren't you going to try to persuade him?"
The spy on surveillance was also trembling, his face contorted with grief: "This servant also wanted to, but Young Master Meng sent more than a dozen men to surround the Princess Consort, and they were about to take action against her. This servant is of lowly status and has no power to dissuade them! Besides, Young Master Meng has already offended the Princess Consort and the Regent. Even if this servant managed to persuade them, it wouldn't end well for him. So this servant immediately reported to you, Master!"
"What?! You flirted with the princess?!" The Minister of War almost fainted, and it was only after his concubine pinched his philtrum that he came back to his senses.
The princess was the regent's only lawfully wedded wife and the prime minister's legitimate daughter!
Neither the prime minister nor the regent is someone he, the Minister of War, can afford to offend!
"Quickly! Take me there!" The Minister of War could already feel his head starting to float on his neck.
Meng Yi didn't see his father rushing over. Hearing Gu Mu's matter-of-fact yet somewhat contemptuous tone, he was extremely dissatisfied and became even angrier, saying, "It seems you don't know how powerful I am! Men, beat this man up and lock him up. Skin him alive! Let's see if he dares to speak to me like that..."
As soon as Meng Yi finished speaking,
I felt a burning slap on my face.
