The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1420 - 1420 690 Assassinate Nangong Li (Double Update)_4

Chapter 1420: 690 Assassinate Nangong Li! (Double Update)_4 Chapter 1420: 690 Assassinate Nangong Li! (Double Update)_4 Gu Jiao looked at the small eunuch and the other, larger eunuch, “Only one of the three of us can live; which of you two will speak?”

“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”

“I’ll talk!”

The two spoke in unison.

“I’ll speak first!” Relying on his younger age and quicker reaction, the small eunuch opened his mouth and blurted out, “General Nangong is in…”

Whoosh!

A hidden weapon shot through the air, its sound extremely sharp and its speed remarkably fast, aimed directly at Gu Jiao’s neck.

Gu Jiao’s ears twitched, and with a flip of her fingertips, she shot out a Begonia Needle!

The Begonia Needle struck the hidden weapon, knocking it onto a tree branch not far away.

“It turns out to be a pebble.”

Gu Jiao calmly stepped aside and turned around, her gaze coldly fixed on the direction from which the hidden weapon had come.

Unsurprisingly, she saw Nangong Li, who had used lightness skills to fly swiftly toward her.

Nangong Li had lost an arm, leaving the right sleeve of his garment empty; however, even with his left hand, the blow he had just attempted would not have been pleasant for Gu Jiao if it had connected.

Gu Jiao faced the renowned general of Dayan Country, her aura not the least bit inferior.

The two stood ten feet apart, and she walked forward a few steps without fear, speaking with a smile that was not quite a smile, “It’s been a long time, General Nangong.”

Nangong Li’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You are not Xiao Liulang! Who are you!”

Gu Jiao had encountered Nangong Li twice, both times from the shadows without revealing herself.

Gu Jiao took another step towards him with her hands behind her back, “General Nangong has been investigating me, havent you guessed who I am?”

She used her own voice.

It was a woman!

Nangong Li’s pupils suddenly contracted: “You… You are Gu Jiao!”

Nangong Li was completely taken aback!

The Xiao Liulang he had been pursuing for so long turned out to be this village girl!

Nangong Li had investigated Xiao Hen and knew that he had faked his death to leave the Capital City, living incognito as Xiao Liulang before making his way back through the imperial examination. At that time, he had a girl from the countryside with him, named Gu Jiao.

It was said that she was also a lost daughter of the Marquis Residence.

Nangong Li had not paid it much attention.

As a general from Shang Country, he didn’t even care about the Emperor of Zhan Country, let alone a marquis’s daughter.

That’s why he never delved too deeply into investigating Gu Jiao.

If Gu Jiao was the one who had entered the Imperial Palace, and not Xiao Liulang, then what was he doing chasing after a red herring? The risk was huge!

Nangong Li turned and started to leave!

“Thinking of leaving?” Gu Jiao shot out a Begonia Needle.

Nangong Li felt a chill on his back, quickly soared up, stepped on a tree trunk, and flipped over to avoid the strike.

“You’re insane!” After landing and regaining his composure, Nangong Li glared at Gu Jiao, boiling with rage, “Do you want to meet your end with me? When his Majesty realizes I have entered the palace privately, I’ll also expose your impersonation! Don’t think your fate will be any better than mine!”

Gu Jiao raised her hand and snapped a long branch from above her head, turning it into a spear and pointing it coldly at him, “Who wants to meet their end with you? If I kill you, won’t there be no one to know about my impersonation?”

Nangong Li suspected he had heard wrong, What was this girl talking about?

Kill him?

In the palace?

Where did she get the confidence that she could kill him?

Even if he had lost an arm, killing her would be as easy as crushing an ant!

However, there was indeed a risk of being discovered.

Taking this risk for Xiao Liulang was worth it, but it was really unnecessary for a girl who had assumed another’s identity.

There were footsteps coming from not far away.

Nangong Li sneered, “Girl, someone’s already coming to the side hall, don’t make me kill you.”

“I know, so please, do me the favor of dying!”

After speaking, Gu Jiao toed the ground, leapt into the air, and with her “spear” in hand, the weapon surged toward Nangong Li like a roaring dragon!

As Nangong Li watched the familiar spear technique, he almost instantly widened his eyes in disbelief.

This was… the spear technique of the Xuanyuan Family!
