After being dressed as the original match of cannon fodder, she was spoiled by a powerful minister

Chapter 448
Gu Mingzhu wanted to be alone with him for a while, so she deliberately said in a low tone: "I'm going back tomorrow, and I don't know when I can come here again..."

Sure enough, when Gu Xiao saw her like this, his heart softened. After thinking about it, he asked her to sit on the stone next to him, and said: "Then you sit here, and I will go and pick up some dry firewood and come back to light a fire for you to bake." clothes."

"Oh." Gu Mingzhu responded, and obediently sat down on the rock.

Although this valley is secluded and no one would come here, Gu Xiao was still worried about letting Gu Mingzhu stay there alone, so after picking up some firewood, he quickly returned.

But when he walked back to the place where Gu Mingzhu was sitting, where was Gu Mingzhu's shadow?

His heart sank, and he immediately threw the dry firewood in his hand. On the boulder, there was only his coat lying there alone.

He picked it up, turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see Gu Mingzhu's figure, and his heart sank rapidly.

"Pearl—"

He yelled.

The sound echoed in the valley, startling the birds in the valley to flap their wings and fly into the sky.

But Gu Mingzhu was never seen.

Gu Xiao's handsome face turned pale with anxiety, he had never been so flustered and frightened like this moment.

This valley is secluded and quiet. Although there should not be any outsiders coming, but it is not ruled out that there are wild animals.

He regretted leaving her here alone just now.

Gu Xiao blamed himself and regretted it, but at this moment, he found that the grass behind the boulder seemed to have been crushed.

He hurried forward to check.

It turned out that the dense grass stems were all broken off, as if something had pressed over them just now.

With hope in his heart, he looked into the depths of the forest, and he saw a dragging trace there.

Pearl?

His heart trembled, and he rushed into the jungle without hesitation.

Soon, he heard rustling and the sound of cloth rubbing behind the trees not far away.

He followed the sound and walked over.

She saw Gu Mingzhu lying on the grass with her eyes closed, apparently in a coma, and a thin, dark-skinned man was pressing on top of her, taking off her wet clothes, trying to do something wrong.

Gu Xiao's complexion changed, he quickly stepped forward and kicked the man away.

The man was defenseless and was kicked to the ground.

How could Gu Xiao spare him, he was already intent on killing.

Seeing this, the man got up and wanted to run, but Gu Xiao who was chasing him stepped on the ground.

"Don't, don't kill me..."

The man was scared out of his wits and quickly raised his hand to beg for mercy.

Gu Xiao looked at him coldly, "Damn you!"

However, just when he was about to start again, he saw a familiar mark on the man's left arm.

Surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he kicked the man unconscious.

Gu Xiao paused for a moment on the imprint on the man's left arm, then quickly walked to Gu Mingzhu's side and helped her up.

"Pearl..."

He called several times, but Gu Mingzhu didn't answer him.

He was anxious, and quickly checked her body, but found a bag on the back of her head, which was obviously knocked unconscious by the man's sneak attack from behind.

Gu Xiao was frightened and angry, wishing he could kill the man immediately and vent his anger on her.

But that man is still useful, and he can't die right now.

……

When Gu Mingzhu woke up, she found that she was actually in her room, and it was already dark outside.

She called Xiang'er, "When did I come back?"

Xiang'er hurriedly said: "It was in the afternoon, when you fainted, it was the adults who carried you back. Miss, is there any discomfort?"

Gu Mingzhu just remembered something, raised her hand and touched the back of her head, there was indeed a bag there.

At that time in the valley, she was sitting on a rock waiting for Gu Xiao to come back, but not long after Gu Xiao left, she was knocked unconscious from behind, and she didn't remember what happened after that.

Thinking about it now, someone must have sneaked up on her from behind.

Thinking of this, she was afraid for a while.

If Gu Xiao hadn't rescued her, what would have happened to her?

"What about the adults?" she asked anxiously.

"My lord came back and settled you, then went out." Xiang'er replied.

"Do you know where he went?" Gu Mingzhu asked.

Xiang'er shook her head, "I don't know."

At this moment, Guo Tingyu hurried in and asked with concern: "How are you doing, Mingzhu?"

Gu Mingzhu shook her head, "I'm fine."

Guo Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"I just came back, and Uncle Wang said you were injured, what's going on?"

"I don't know either." Gu Mingzhu touched the back of her head, "It seems that someone knocked me out from behind."

Guo Tingyu's face darkened when he heard the words, "Didn't you go out with Gu Xiao, why didn't he protect you well?"

Gu Mingzhu heard that his tone was a bit strange to Gu Xiao, and quickly defended him, "Gu Xiao didn't know that such a thing would happen, and I'm fine."

But Guo Tingyu still disagreed and said: "Then what if something happens?"

"Cousin, are you cursing me?" Gu Mingzhu frowned and said unhappily, "Gu Xiao will protect me, he won't let me have trouble."

Guo Tingyu paused, and said in a low voice, "Do you trust him that much?"

"Of course I believe him." Gu Mingzhu said without hesitation.

Seeing this, Guo Tingyu was a little frustrated.

After a long time, he said in a low voice: "But if it were me today, I would definitely not hurt you."

Gu Mingzhu frowned, and was about to say something when Xiang'er walked in, "Miss, your lord is back."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mingzhu quickly got out of bed and ran outside.

When he reached the door, he bumped into Gu Xiao who was walking over.

"How are you feeling? Why are you so reckless?" Gu Xiao asked with a frown as he held her shoulder.

"I'm fine." Gu Mingzhu shook her head, "By the way, where have you been, and why are you only coming back now?"

Just as Gu Xiao was about to answer, he saw Guo Tingyu who was still in the room.

He didn't speak, but hugged her horizontally and walked into the house.

Gu Mingzhu took advantage of the situation and put her arms around his neck, and the two were very intimate.

Guo Tingyu's eyes dimmed, and he said to the two: "I have something to do, I'm going back to the house first."

"Go." Gu Xiao nodded, feeling quite happy.

After he went out, Gu Xiao put Gu Mingzhu on the bed, touched the bag on the back of her head, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Gu Mingzhu shook her head, "Did you catch the person who hit me?"

"Well, I caught it." Gu Xiao nodded.

"Who is it?" Gu Mingzhu was curious.

Gu Xiao was silent.

Seeing him like this, Gu Mingzhu felt that he must have something on his mind to hide from her, so she couldn't help rubbing his chin affectionately, "Tell me."

Gu Xiao sighed, and put his arms around her shoulders, "That man is from the Xianbei tribe."

"Xianbei?" Gu Mingzhu was surprised.

"En." Gu Xiao patiently explained her doubts.

"...The Xianbei tribe was exterminated by Qiangwu more than ten years ago, and now few people know that such a tribe once existed."

The more Gu Mingzhu listened, the more confused she became, "That person today..."

"That person is the surviving member of the Xianbei tribe. It turned out that the Xianbei tribe was not completely extinct more than ten years ago, and a small number of people fled into the deep mountains." Gu Xiao paused for a while, and did not hide him, " Mingzhu, I am also a descendant of the Xianbei tribe."
