The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1057 - 1057 512 God of Killing (Second Update)

Chapter 1057: 512 God of Killing! (Second Update) Chapter 1057: 512 God of Killing! (Second Update) Gu Jiao’s emotions instinctively turned violent.

The goggles became a sheet of blood red, as though the entire world had turned the color of blood.

The heat of the blood seared her cheeks through the mask, and the violent factors within her began to churn endlessly.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Yuanwai was a plague patient, his blood… was infected too, and Doctor Gu, she…

The dark guards outside the barracks heard the commotion inside, and one of them lifted the curtain, only to see Gu Jiao covered in blood. His expression changed, and he started to approach her.

“Don’t move!” Gu Jiao raised her hand to stop him.

The dark guard halted in his tracks, “Doctor Gu, are you alright? What happened?”

“I’m fine.” Gu Jiao slowly lowered her hand, a seemingly ordinary gesture, but no one knew how much self-control it took.

She calmly said, “None of you come in, Shen Xuan, step aside.”

She always called him Little Shitou, it was the first time she called him by his name.

Shen Xuan subconsciously realized something was wrong with her.

“Doctor Gu…” He blankly moved aside.

Gu Jiao squatted down in front of Zhao Yuanwai once again.

Zhao Yuanwai was subdued by the silent calmness emanating from Gu Jiao’s body, he dared not move or make a sound.

He had been too forceful when removing the needle earlier, tearing the blood vessel.

Gu Jiao calmly and skillfully treated his wound, reinserted the needle, and said coldly, “The medicine is expensive, don’t force me to waste it.”

She didn’t waste medicine unless the person was dead.

Zhao Yuanwai, watching her, who hadn’t shown a hint of anger from beginning to end, didn’t know why, but involuntarily shivered!

After coming out of the barracks, Gu Jiao found a secluded spot and sat down leaning against a bamboo.

She took off her contaminated goggles, mask, and a pair of gloves.

She didn’t know if she would be infected.

She took two capsules of Chloramphenicol from the first aid kit and swallowed them with a handful of cold snow.

The Gu Family army had gone to attack the city, leaving only a hundred people behind to care for these patients in the camp.

The forest was deathly quiet; however, to Gu Jiao’s ears, it was as if she could hear the sounds of war drums and bugles, the sounds of battering rams striking the city gates, the sounds of the Gu Family army scaling ladders…

She leaned against the bamboo, looking up at the vague and boundless sky, a hint of confusion appearing on her face.

For an instant.

Her mind went blank.

“Doctor Gu!”

A dark guard came over and reported, “Someone is coming!”

Gu Jiao entered a state of combat readiness in a second, swiftly standing up and softly asked while picking up her small backpack, “How many people?”

The dark guard said, “Twenty people, among them a few death warriors!”

It seemed that the remnants of the former dynasty had discovered the plague patients were missing and had sent people specifically to recapture them.

Gu Jiao had already made several plans. If no one came after them, they would wait here for Gu Changqing and the Gu Family army to return in triumph; if someone did chase them, they would move to a different location.

She had at least marked three alternate locations.

Gu Jiao said to the dark guard, “Take the patients and go to that broken temple on the way back.”

“Yes!”

The dark guard only followed orders, never questioning Gu Jiao’s decisions.

The dark guard and a hundred of the Gu Family army transferred the patients.

This time, Zhao Yuanwai behaved himself, sitting in the carriage while Shen Xuan hung his IV bag on the carriage.

“Do you still remember how to remove the needle?” Gu Jiao asked Shen Xuan.

The first time she went to the camp was to give Shen Xuan a shot, and he nodded, “I remember.”

“Good.” Gu Jiao did not elaborate further. She picked up the Red-Tasseled Spear, slung the small backpack over her shoulder, and walked towards the direction from which the group of experts was coming.

“Doctor Gu!”

Shen Xuan called out to her.

“Is there something you need?” Gu Jiao turned back.

Shen Xuan sat in the carriage, poking his head out the window, and through his mask, he said to her, “You… you won’t be in any trouble, will you?”

Gu Jiao gave him a look, and instead of answering his question, she said, “If I don’t catch up within two hours, you all head to Yuegu City first, find a doctor with the surname Song; he knows what to do.”

She had left Song the doctor plenty of medicine, including Chloramphenicol and Virazole.

Shen Xuan wanted to say more, but hesitated.

Gu Jiao turned around and disappeared into the boundless night.

Shen Xuan watched as the small figure of Gu Jiao gradually vanished into the forest. The carriage slowly started moving, and his gaze did not shift away for a long time.

The group moved quickly, riding their horses, and in less than half a quarter of an hour’s effort, they arrived deep in the forest.

They pushed their speed to the limit, when suddenly, within the bamboo forest and across the snowfield, they caught sight of a strange little figure from afar.

It appeared to be a youth clad in dark armor, holding a helmet in one hand and a Red-Tasseled Spear in the other. The youth had not yet come of age; his ink-black hair was not tied up high but was instead half-bound behind his head with a pale turquoise ribbon.

The other half of his hair cascaded over his shoulders, fluttering in the cold wind.

Despite the considerable distance and the youth’s motionless stance, everyone could feel an aura of murderous intent emanating from him, as if it were the force of mountains and rivers!

Nearly twenty men reined in their horses almost in unison.

The leading assassin was the first to react. He furrowed his brows and said coldly, “A Zhan Country soldier! Kill him!”

The Gu Family army wore silver armor, and when Tang Yueshan made armor for Gu Jiao, he fashioned it after the style of the Tang Family archers, but not exactly the same; her weapon was a long spear, and this set of armor was tailor-made for her and her Red-Tasseled Spear.

It was a battle armor unique to Zhan Country.

The twenty men quickened their pace and drew their swords.

Gu Jiao gave a cold glance, nonchalantly put on her helmet, and lowered the visor, revealing only a pair of eyes that resembled those of a death god.

In that instant, the hearts of the twenty experts skipped a beat!

A chill crept up their spines for no reason. It was too late to retreat, and they could not afford to; if twenty experts were defeated by a whippersnapper, it would be an utter laughingstock!

“Attack—”

The leader of the assassins gave the order.

The next second, the god of death’s Red-Tasseled Spear came flying through the air, cutting off his head with an unstoppable force of thunder!

Blood splattered all over his companions, and a round head rolled onto the snowfield; his horse had not yet stopped when its hoofs trampled right over the head…

Everyone was stunned!

How could this youth possess such skills!

No, rather, he looked so young, how could he be so ruthless!

“Is… is he an assassin?”

An expert asked, his voice trembling.

Four of the accompanying assassins were already dead, and the remaining three turned their gazes simultaneously to the youth before them.

Indeed, the youth seemed to exude a hint of the assassin’s aura, but he was far more powerful than any of them could articulate.

They almost instinctively felt a profound dread of the god of death-like youth before them.

However, even so, the youth had no intention of sparing them; his Red-Tasseled Spear swiftly attacked them once again.

This time, she targeted another assassin.

Ordinary soldiers couldn’t distinguish between experts and assassins, and although some more skilled experts might be able to, they could not be as precise and swift.

When all four assassins laid dead by the youth’s Red-Tasseled Spear, the others understood they stood no chance.

“Retreat!”

A man in black shouted harshly.

He fled first, leading his horse at a frenzied pace!

Gu Jiao grabbed her Red-Tasseled Spear and looked coldly at his back, suddenly shooting the spear out!

The immense force, like a thousand arrows launched at once, knocked the man in black along with his armor off the horse; he was impaled through the back and fell heavily onto the snowfield.

The rest had lost all will to fight and looked on with trepidation at the youth who was walking towards them, spear in hand.

The blood from the Red-Tasseled Spear dripped onto the snow, like flowers that guide souls sprouting on Huangquan Road.

“You, you, you… don’t come any closer! We are trusted followers of the Prince of Yi!”

Another man in black sat atop his horse, gripping the reins tightly as he spoke to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao’s steps did not stop.

Everyone involuntarily swallowed.

The man in black continued, “The Prince of Yi is a divinely chosen child handpicked by the living Buddha; he is a Celestial Star descended upon the earth. As long as you’re willing to submit to the Prince of Yi, he will grant you high titles and rich rewards!”

The god of death-like youth was drawing nearer.

Everyone unconsciously leaned backward.

The sweating man in black said, “If you spare us, the Prince of Yi will reward you. Don’t think that just because the Gu Family army has arrived, your Zhan Country’s court will win. The hundred thousand reinforcements from Chen Country will soon reach the frontier! They bring with them Liang Country’s crossbow vehicles; breaching cities will be as easy as walking on flat ground, you cannot win—”

Before he could finish, the youth’s Red-Tasseled Spear pierced through his heart.

“You talk too much.”

The youth said indifferently and emotionlessly pulled out the Red-Tasseled Spear.

The man in black fell stiffly onto the snowfield, and the horse, frightened by him, neighed twice and shuffled its hooves restlessly.

The others all clamped their mouths shut.

We don’t talk much!

Don’t kill us!

The disdainful gaze of the youth swept over them, “Without even a last word, it seems you’re all ready to die.”

Everyone: “…!!”
