Tang Yueshan was also a wanted individual by the remnants of the previous dynasty. Hence, his expression immediately changed.
He asked, "Are you a remnant of the previous dynasty?!"
"I'm not." Gu Jiao answered.
"You're a girl?!" Tang Yueshan was more astonished by Gu Jiao's female voice than by the sight of the remnants of the previous dynasty's soldiers.
It wasn't because he hadn't seen much of the world, but rather... the methods she used to torment Tang Ming, how could they possibly be the work of a young girl?
She, was she that shameless?
Gu Jiao had originally thought she was really unlucky to run into Tang Yueshan while picking firewood by herself. But now, with the remnants of the previous dynasty's soldiers attracted to her location, she felt that Tang Yueshan was the truly unlucky one.
He had been hiding in this forest for so long, and he could have remained here for a year or more without any issues.
But now...
Alas, he was exposed.
Tang Yueshan also realized the key point and looked at Gu Jiao with gritted teeth, "It was you who brought the remnants of the previous dynasty here."
Gu Jiao shook her head like a rattle drum.
It was ‘us’.
You have to be precise with your words.
Tang Yueshan was truly furious!
Where on earth did this girl come from? She had first harmed Tang Ming and now she was causing trouble for him!
"Don't kill me. I can help you deal with them." Gu Jiao said.
The corner of Tang Yueshan's mouth twitched. Help him? Did she have a choice? She spoke as if the other party would let her go if she just stood idly by. Did she not realize who led the enemy here in the first place?
Could she be any more shameless?
Gu Jiao waved at the remnants of the previous dynasty's soldiers, who were still looking for their way, "We're here!"
Tang Yueshan's whole body trembled!
Swish, Swish, Swish!
Over a dozen arrows flew towards them with murderous intent, and in a split second, Gu Jiao moved behind Tang Yueshan!
Tang Yueshan: "...!!"
There were two squads of enemy soldiers in total, numbering more than fifty. These soldiers were better trained and had better martial arts than the patrol soldiers. After all, their mission was to capture the young assassin alive, which required a group of elite troops.
Initially, they hadn't recognized Tang Yueshan, so Gu Jiao directly pointed at him and said, "He's the one you're looking for, Supreme Commander Tang."
Tang Yueshan was thus betrayed...
The group of soldiers rushed toward Tang Yueshan!
After all, the orders from above were to capture the young assassin alive, and there was no such order regarding Tang Yueshan.
As the Supreme Commander of the State of Zhao, Tang Yueshan’s head was worth a lot, and whoever brought it back would surely be greatly rewarded.
Subsequently, Tang Yueshan noticed an extremely bizarre scene. The soldiers attacked Gu Jiao with only half their strength, using the flat side of their blades, but when it came to his turn, they swung their blades with deadly force...
Tang Yueshan was livid!
In this small-scale battle between the two sides, he was the primary force on their side and practically single-handedly killed forty soldiers of the remnants of the previous dynasty.
Gu Jiao was deliberately slacking off and only officially took action when Tang Yueshan was nearly exhausted.
When Gu Jiao went to deal with the remaining soldiers, Tang Yueshan sat panting in the snow, clutching his chest. He watched Gu Jiao's skills and grew increasingly serious as he observed her.
That night when Gu Jiao had infiltrated the Supreme Commander Estate, even if he hadn't personally confronted her, he had seen her being pursued by the Tang Family's archers, which allowed him to assess her abilities.
Clearly, in just a few months, this girl had improved significantly.
If he didn't eliminate her now, she would become a major threat in the future!
As Gu Jiao was about to finish off the last three soldiers, her back was exposed to Tang Yueshan's view.
Just as Gu Jiao was about to conclude her final strike, Tang Yueshan quietly gathered his internal energy in his palm, ready to strike her back!
However, as soon as he raised his hand, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He coughed up a mouthful of black blood and then collapsed in the snow, unconscious.
……
Gu Chengfeng thoroughly searched the small cabin and confirmed that Gu Jiao was really gone. His heart tightened for a moment. contemporary romance
Of course, he didn't think that Gu Jiao had left them behind. If she wanted to leave them, she wouldn't have followed from the beginning.
Their firewood was running out, and food was also scarce. Gu Chengfeng speculated that Gu Jiao had gone out to find either food or firewood.
He couldn't allow her to venture alone in the snow-covered woods.
He decided to go out and look for her.
However, just as he opened the door, he spotted someone in the distance. The person was carrying a bundle of firewood on her back and her hand was dragging some animal hide as a sled, carrying a… person. She walked through the snow with great difficulty.
The reason Gu Jiao found the journey laborious was, first, due to her lack of sleep; second, she was physically exhausted; and third, the snow in this forest was just too deep, making it nearly impossible to walk, especially while carrying a bundle of firewood and dragging another person.
Gu Chengfeng was somewhat dumbfounded.
He had guessed she had gone to gather firewood, but he hadn't expected her to return with a person!
Gu Chengfeng waded through the thick snow towards her.
When he got closer, he heard faint breathing, confirming that this wasn't a lifeless body.
Gu Chengfeng looked at her with a perplexed expression, "What's going on? Don't tell me you've picked up another person!"
The use of "another" was because of the incidents with the Empress Dowager and Xiao Liulang in the past.
Without waiting for Gu Jiao's response, Gu Chengfeng tugged at the corner of his mouth and said with a slightly disdainful tone, "Do you have a habit of picking up strangers home, or did you not find food, so you..."
Gu Jiao gave him a sympathetic look as if he was intellectually challenged, "Are you that idle?"
"I'm not." Gu Chengfeng denied vehemently. He pointed at the man with disheveled hair and a face covered in snow, "Who is he?"
Gu Jiao replied, "See for yourself."
Gu Chengfeng crouched down and brushed aside the disheveled hair and accumulated snow on the other person's face. A familiar and dignified face met Gu Chengfeng's gaze, causing him to startle sharply. He quickly stood up and took a large step back, "Tang Yueshan!"
