Gu Jiao's eyes grew cold as she said, "What if I have to go through here?"
Her eyes suddenly became sharp, making the guard freeze for a moment.
But after all, she was just a little girl, so the guard toughen up again. He said, "Then I can only arrest you!"
There were eight guards at the entrance while two guards on the bridge every ten steps. The bridge was 30 meters long, and there were also guards standing at the end all the way to the entrance of the temple.
A total of a hundred or so people.
And there were probably some more guards hidden in rather inconspicuous places around the temple.
It wasn’t easy to break through a hundred or so guards.
But this bridge, she would cross it today no matter what!
Gu Jiao stepped forward.
The guard raised his hand to arrest her but Gu Jiao pinned his arm to his back with one hand, and took advantage of this moment to draw the sword around his waist with her other hand and jumped away!
She landed on one knee with the support of the sword, her eyes as sharp and ferocious as two ice blades.
The guards were dazed for a moment. Apparently they didn't expect such an unobtrusive little girl to have such skill.
After returning to his senses, the leading guard shouted, "What are you all doing? Arrest her!"
The guards on the stone arch bridge swarmed over!
Originally, they needed not many of them to deal with a little girl, but Gu Jiao's move just now shocked them greatly, so much so that everyone actually pulled out their swords.
There was a sudden burst of murderous aura from Gu Jiao’s body.
But she didn't intend to kill anyone.
A guard charged at her.
Gu Jiao's sword struck the edge of his blade with great force that half the arm of the guard turned numb.
But it was just one guard. Soon the rest of the guard also rushed towards her.
If she avoided killing people, she would be slowed down a lot.
Xiao Liulang would soon get on the bridge.
Three guards charged at her again. With a sword in her hand, killing them was just a matter of seconds, but to take them down one by one would take too much time.
"Don't push me..."
Gu Jiao clenched the sword in her hand.
She had never been a good person. Her organization in the previous life wasn’t some care center for those in need, but a group of fugitive people who led a dangerous life. Offer a price, and I dare to kill!
Gu Jiao gritted her teeth. She kicked at the stone railing of the arch bridge with one foot to jump into the air, and then swung down the sword in her hand. The cold light of the sword flashed across her eyes.
Her strong murderous aura covered every direction.
Seeing that her sword was finally about to see blood, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away, "Halt!"
Gu Jiao tightened her waist and abdomen and her movements slowed down a bit in the air. With a slash of her sword, the armors of three guards were split apart.
The three guards turned white with fear.
This attack was so fierce that they could not fight back at all. If it weren't for that voice just now, this sword wouldn't have just simply split their armors apart.
“Third Prince's Consort!"
Some guards recognized the well-dressed young woman ahead.
They cupped their hands in obeisance and bowed respectfully to her.
The rest of the guards also saluted.
Gu Jiao faintly turned to look at her.
The Third Prince's Consort ignored the guards who saluted her and quickly came to Gu Jiao, "Are you okay? Young Miss Gu? Did they hurt you?"
"No." Gu Jiao answered.
The Third Prince's Consort looked her up and down, and only when she saw that there was no blood on her body did she believe her.
But wasn’t she a physician?
How could she use a sword?
That attack just now made her really nervous.
"Young Miss Gu, are you here to burn incense too?" The Third Prince's Consort looked at Gu Jiao and asked.
The Third Prince's Consort actually came to burn incense as well, but it wasn't really her idea to come here but rather her family urged her.
Seeing so many people, she didn't bother to take part in the fun. She simply asked someone to park her carriage in the nearby woods to have a rest there till it was less crowded. Then she heard a movement on the stone arch bridge.
Gu Jiao nodded, "I have something urgent and must cross the bridge."
The Third Prince's Consort quickly said, "Then go."
“Third Prince's Consort!" A guard spoke," This bridge... "
The Third Prince's Consort interrupted him disdainfully, "What? I'm a prince’s consort, can't I walk on this bridge?"
The guards replied, "Of course the Third Prince's Consort can..."
The Third Prince's Consort coldly flicked her sleeves, "Then get out of my way!"
The guards looked at one another and finally gave way.
The Third Prince's Consort said to Gu Jiao, "You walk faster than me. You go ahead first, I'll be right there in a moment."
"Many thanks." Gu Jiao thanked her and was about to leave. Just then, she thought of something, turned to the Third Prince's Consort and asked, "Did you bring bodyguards with you?"
"Yes." The Third Prince's Consort answered.
Gu Jiao said, "Call all the guards who know how to swim and let them head to the hanging bridge outside the back entrance of the temple."
"Why, what’s wrong?" The Third Prince's Consort wanted to know why, but Gu Jiao didn't have time to explain. She ran across the bridge with the sword in her hand. She didn't throw the sword away until she reached the other side, then she quickly entered the temple.
The Third Prince's Consort watched her silently as she crossed the bridge.contemporary romance
She wanted to chase after her, but It had only been a month since she had her surgery, and it usually took about a hundred days to recover from injury. Although she was recovering well, she didn't dare to work herself too hard.
Thinking of Gu Jiao's words, she frowned curiously, "Why did she need bodyguards who can swim? What is that girl planning to do?"
After Gu Jiao entered the temple, she quickly asked a monk, "Where is the back entrance?"
"Over there. Go around the Tianwang Hall, and you will see a small garden at the end. You then turn left... " In the middle of the monk's words, Gu Jiao disappeared.
Gu Jiao climbed up to the roof and jumped all the way to the back entrance in a straight direction.
The monk was dumbfounded, "Amitabha, Amitabha…"
There were also a lot of people at the back entrance. Gu Jiao walked against the crowd and when she arrived at the hanging bridge, she saw that the rope that supported the hanging bridge was already breaking.
She moved a few steps to the side and caught a glimpse of Xiao Liulang’s figure in the crowd.
He was about to walk on the hanging bridge.
Gu Jiao shouted, "Don't come here!"
The hanging bridge was full of people, and the other end of the cable bridge was no less crowded. People’s noises immediately suppressed her cry from the other side.
However, Xiao Liulang seemed to have sensed something. His heart skipped and he subconsciously looked up.
One of his feet had stepped on the hanging bridge.
He stared blankly at the opposite side where he saw Gu Jiao looking at him anxiously.
Gu Jiao didn’t have facial paralysis, but her face displayed few emotional changes. It was the first time he had seen such an anxious look in her eyes.
Don’t come here.
She said.
