The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1139 - 1139 556 Young Master Exposed (First Update)

Chapter 1139: 556 Young Master Exposed (First Update) Chapter 1139: 556 Young Master Exposed (First Update) The gray-robed man, his head pierced by an arrow, fell to the side in the snowfield, his brain and blood spraying everywhere!

This scene was truly too horrifying. An arrow through the head was chilling enough, let alone a long, heavy Red-Tasseled Spear!

All the gray-robed martial experts felt as though their own heads had been pierced, a chill running down their forehead, their bodies stiffening.

They had killed countless people, but they had never seen such a method of murder—too cruel and too terrifying!

How great must the murderous intent in one’s heart be to shoot such a spear!

Who could it be!

Who did it!

Everyone sensed that the situation was amiss. The Official Road, covered in snow, suddenly filled with a tense and fearful atmosphere, and another gray-robed figure took over to give orders in place of the first.

“Draw swords! Everyone, draw your swords!”

He barked!

His voice snapped everyone back to reality, and they each drew the curved blades at their waists.

Meanwhile, the sound of horse hooves that seemed capable of trampling mountains and rivers approached from afar. The snowfield seemed to tremble with the vibration. Everyone looked toward the sound, only to see a young man in blue, riding a spirited horse, swiftly approaching. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of them, and with a mighty leap, the steed cleared their heads!

As the horse’s hooves hit the ground, the young man stretched out his gloved hand to pull out the Red-Tasseled Spear that had pierced through a man’s skull.

Then, with a flick of his fingertips, he removed his cloak and threw it over Mo Qianxue, whose clothes were in disarray!

Mo Qianxue lay on the cold snowfield, watching the young man approach in his fine clothes. Unmasked, his features were stern, and the noticeable birthmark on his left face, far from being ugly, added an eerily beautiful look to his cold and sinister expression.

The young man’s body radiated killing intent yet he draped her with a cloak to cover her body.

Gu Jiao didn’t stop her horse. After pulling out the Red-Tasseled Spear, she immediately attacked the remaining five figures.

The strength of this group was not weak; together, they possessed the might of a Sky Wolf, and to be on the safe side, an extra expert was added. However, Gu Jiao was not the same as she was two months ago. Her strength had recovered a bit; even if she faced the Sky Wolf now, she would not be as embarrassed as last time.

Gu Jiao dismounted and engaged fiercely in combat with the other side.

One of the gray-robed men suddenly realized something, pointed at Gu Jiao and said, “Her! She is the hostage we seek!”

Gu Jiao gripped the Red-Tasseled Spear tightly and said coldly, “Try and capture me if you can.”

The five attackers made a concerted effort to assault Gu Jiao.

Surprisingly, Gu Jiao’s martial prowess was not as described in the letter. In theory, the strength of the five should have been sufficient to control her, and they had even added an extra expert to ensure safety.

However, they gained no advantage against her.

Gu Jiao hated trouble, and she detested flashy and extravagant attacks.

Shadow, bloodlust.

Her deadly moves were her most powerful.

The gray-robed experts fell one after another, and accompanied by Gu Jiao’s final thrust, the last gray-robed expert fell into a pool of blood.

But this one she did not kill, sparing him a breath.

Gu Jiao stuck the Red-Tasseled Spear into the snowfield, bent down to wrap Mo Qianxue with the cloak, and lifting her with arms around her back and bend of her knees, she picked up her cold, rigid body.

Just then, the carriage from the Judicial Department arrived. Xiao Hen lifted the curtain, took a glance at Gu Jiao and Mo Qianxue, then swept over the scene and roughly understood what had happened.

He hastily got off the carriage, making an excuse and called the coachman aside.

Gu Jiao carried Mo Qianxue onto the carriage.

Xiao Hen asked from behind the curtains, “Are you alright?”

Gu Jiao looked at Mo Qianxue.

Mo Qianxue, pale-faced, shook her head to signal to Gu Jiao that she was unharmed.

Gu Jiao replied, “It’s nothing serious.”

“Your face is covered in blood.”

“It’s not my blood.”

Xiao Hen’s expression slightly relaxed.

Mo Qianxue’s body was trembling with cold, one cloak clearly not enough to keep her warm.

Gu Jiao took off her winter clothes and gave them to Mo Qianxue.

The carriage was without a charcoal brazier, as cold as an ice cellar.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the panel, and shortly afterward, a slender, jade-like hand passed in a set of official robes and winter clothes.

They were Xiao Hen’s.

Only one carriage came from the Judicial Department. Given Mo Qianxue’s current state, Xiao Hen naturally couldn’t get back on the carriage, meaning he would have to ride back.

In the midst of the ice and snow, how could his scholarly body endure such conditions?

Moreover, once they entered the city, would the dignified Judicial Secretary indeed make a spectacle of himself, dressed in his underclothes?

Gu Jiao didn’t fully refuse, but neither did she accept everything; she only took the winter clothes, suggesting Xiao Hen wear the official robe back.

Gu Jiao stepped out of the carriage to retrieve the Red-Tasseled Spear and said to Xiao Hen, “By the way, I left one alive. See if you can find out anything from him.”
