The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1526 - 741 Sly Jiaojiao

Gu Jiao’s fight against the Dong Family head and others was extremely fierce. With the addition of the Yang Family head, their combat strength had indeed increased, but Gu Jiao was absolutely a tough nut to crack.

She fought as if she had no regard for her own life, while the Dong Family head and the others couldn’t do the same.

On the one hand, they didn’t want to suffer any injuries, and on the other, they hoped to kill Gu Jiao easily. The result was that their fight became more and more disordered, and in the end, apart from the Yang Family head, the other three were all injured.

The Dong Family head was an old fox. He always shouted the loudest but stayed the furthest away, letting his companions bear the brunt of the damage, which is why his injuries were the lightest.

The Chen Family head had the most severe injuries, with unstoppable bleeding from his right leg and left abdomen; he lay on the ground unconscious.

And Gu Jiao was also greatly drained of her stamina.

If both sides continued to fight, it would only lead to a situation where both sides would suffer. Even because of that Yang Family head...

Gu Jiao glanced at the Yang Family head.

This man was too inscrutable, and there was the least information recorded about him in the Book Pavilion.

Who would have thought that he was also a hidden master if not for today’s fight with him?

The Dong Family head said to the Yang Family head, "His stamina is nearly depleted. Old Yang, Du and I will hold him off, you wait for the right moment, and finish him in one move!"

The Yang Family head looked at Gu Jiao with a sinister gaze, "Alright."

The Dong Family head exchanged a knowing look with Minister Du and tacitly moved to Gu Jiao’s sides, launching a pincer attack from front and back.

Meanwhile, the Yang Family head observed the battlefield closely, trying to wait for Gu Jiao to reveal a flaw.

When the Dong Family head restrained Gu Jiao’s lower body, and Minister Du blocked Gu Jiao’s Red-Tasseled Spear, the Yang Family head’s eyes narrowed.

The youngster’s stamina had decreased, and his speed had slowed by a hair’s breadth.

Such a moment is insignificant to the ordinary master, but in the realm of someone like him, it was a huge gap!

Now!

The Yang Family head raised his hand, aiming a sand-iron palm strike at Gu Jiao’s back!

Almost at the same moment, a white-clothed masked man flashed in front of them, standing before Gu Jiao and her attackers, meeting the Yang Family head’s palm strike with his own.

A moment later, the Dong Family head and Minister Du’s restraint reached its limit, and Gu Jiao pushed the two men back with her spear.

She turned her head to look.

The man in white leaped into the air, heading towards her, catching her slender waist and lifting her up into the air.

"It’s me," he said softly.

Gu Jiao looked toward the creek but didn’t see Xiaojiu or the Little Princesses.

He said, "Up ahead."

Gu Jiao didn’t resist anymore.

Just as Mu Qingchen thought Gu Jiao was really being taken away by him obediently, Gu Jiao suddenly turned her head back and threw a dagger with her hand!

"You are all unharmed...watch out!" shouted the Dong Family head.

The dagger was thrust towards the Yang Family head, who dodged to the side. However, the angle Gu Jiao chose was tricky; even though he could dodge, the one behind him couldn’t.

Minister Du was hit, the dagger piercing him and the force of the impact sending him flying into a large tree before he fell heavily to the ground.

The Dong Family head quickly went over to support him by the shoulder, "Old Du!"

Gu Jiao’s action caught everyone off guard, even Mu Qingchen thought as they did that once Gu Jiao had left, she had left, only for her to pull such a move.

What kind of relentless spirit was this!

There were a total of eleven people when they came, including six bodyguards. Now, more than half were lost; Feng Lao San was already dead, and the fates of Old Du and Old Chen were uncertain; even the Dong Family head had suffered several light wounds.

"Old Yang, you still have profound skills with not a single injury," said the Dong Family head.

Not a single injury?

The Yang Family head looked in the direction of the boy and the masked man in white as they left, silently clenching his right hand, a drop of fresh blood slipping down from his sleeve.

...

Mu Qingchen led Gu Jiao to the rendezvous point agreed upon with the bodyguards.

Gu Jiao immediately saw the horses tied under a tree.

A round little head peeped out from behind the big tree.

Jiaojiao?

It was only then that the wariness in Gu Jiao’s eyes completely dissipated.

Xiaojiu ran over pitter-patter.

Gu Jiao took his little hand, "Were you scared?"

"No," shook Xiaojiu’s head, looked at Mu Qingchen, and said, "It’s Brother Qingchen."

Xiaojiu thought Gu Jiao couldn’t recognize Mu Qingchen with the mask covered his face.

"Yes, I know," Gu Jiao stroked his little head and said to Mu Qingchen, "Thank you."

Mu Qingchen thought Gu Jiao was thanking him for the rescue, so he replied indifferently, "Don’t mention it."

A bodyguard, holding the sleeping Little Princesses, came from behind the big tree.

Earlier, Mu Qingchen had first gone to have the bodyguards take away Xiaojiu, but nearly got attacked by Xiaojiu. Mu Qingchen had no choice but to reveal himself, and only then did Xiaojiu lower his guard.
