The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1558 - 756 Father’s Protection (Second Update)

A nation cannot have two rulers.

There can only be one Black Wind King.

The same goes for the commander.

This is their common battle, with no way out!

Gu Jiao kept refreshing Mu Qingchen’s perception, as if showing him a new life.

There are many brave souls in the world, yet never such a person who could be so fearless as to fight against the heavens, fate, and all the impossibles of the world.

He had never once considered fleeing; he always faced difficulties head-on, even if it meant being shattered to pieces.

Mu Qingchen looked at the youth beside him, his chest filled with a long-lost emotion, as if he too had suddenly been pulled back to the reckless years of his youth, his blood boiling with fervor.

Everything around remained unchanged.

But when Mu Qingchen looked again at the fiercely competitive battlefield, he suddenly felt that everything was different.

The eye contact between Gu Jiao and Han Wuye ended with the announcement of Han Wuye’s advancement.

Gu Jiao could drag this out till nightfall. If he had the skill, he could just monopolize the high platform and stop others from being selected.

The young man looked at him boldly. Han Wuye disdainfully shifted his gaze and rode his new Black Wind King down from the high platform.

The Su Family had come to summon Mu Qingchen.

After saying goodbye to each other, Mu Qingchen had some matters to attend to and left for another part of the Military Camp, while Gu Jiao rode the Black Wind King leisurely outwards.

Wherever he went, the gathered horses dispersed, no one daring to approach.

But just as he was passing by the Cavalry formation’s training ground, Gu Jiao was blocked by several people.

They were also mounted on their horses.

Gu Jiao glanced over, recognizing the goateed Hu Yang Family head, the youthful looking Dong Family head without a beard, and another three younger individuals he had only seen in portraits, the descendants of the Feng, Du, and Chen Families.

"It was you who killed my father!"

A young man with a volatile temper glared coldly at Gu Jiao, ready to burst into a fiery rage!

Gu Jiao touched his chin; so this was the kid from the Feng Family, fourth in line, commonly called Young Master Feng Si.

He bore a strong resemblance to Feng Lao San, even their explosive tempers were identical, as was the stupidity of being manipulated and used by others.

"Did they tell you that?" Gu Jiao pointed at the Dong Family head and Yang Family head.

These two old foxes looked like trouble. Back in the forest, one only made feints, and the other waited until his companion was nearly done for before acting.

Feng Si clenched his teeth: "It doesn’t matter who said it! I’m asking you! Did you kill my father or not!"

"No," Gu Jiao denied without hesitation, pointing at the Dong and Yang Family heads, "they were the ones who killed him."

The Dong Family head and Yang Family head were taken aback.

Could there be anyone more shameless in this world, twisting truth and falsehood to such an extent?

The Dong Family head was furious: "Don’t slander us! It was clearly you who killed him! Master Chen and Master Du were also there at the time. Young nephew Feng, if you don’t believe it, you can ask them yourself."

Gu Jiao spread his hands: "I was merely defending myself. But the real culprits who caused his death are you. You both egged him on to take action without lending him a hand. He and I are enemies; our fight was justified, but you both were supposed to be friends, yet one of you hid away, and the other only made feints. Weren’t you two just trying to use me to remove Feng Lao San?"

The Dong Family head and Yang Family head were both at a loss for words: "You!"

Feng Si’s face changed, he tightened the reins in his hand and turned to the two Family heads, hissing through clenched teeth: "Is that true? Uncle Dong, Uncle Yang!"

Of course not!

Your father counts for nothing for us to plot against him like that!

We held back to let your father wear down this youngster first!

What is all this nonsense?

Gu Jiao leisurely watched their internal strife: "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way."

Yang Family head’s fists cracked: "You little brat!"

Feng Si said coldly, "Uncle Yang, we should clear this up."

The Yang Family head and Dong Family head were beyond frustrated. They had come to incite Feng Si to deal with Xiao Liulang, yet how had Feng Si been swayed by Xiao Liulang instead?

Young Master Chen blocked Gu Jiao’s way: "Who said we were letting you go? You still haven’t settled your debts with our Chen and Du Families—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the Black Wind King reared up and fiercely trod toward the horses of the two men!

The two horses panicked on the spot, rearing wildly; the Chen and Du pair fell from their horses. Thanks to their light footwork, they managed to stabilize themselves, but their mounts fled out of sight.

The Black Wind King took a step forward, and both men simultaneously stepped aside!

Gu Jiao looked down from a higher position at the two men: "Thanks for giving way."
