Chapter 88
Even though Gu Xingzhi was skilled in martial arts, but there were so many people in black, they still fell behind in a short time.Eunuch Liu always pays attention to Gu Xingzhi's situation. Although he has no skills, he is ready to sacrifice for his master.

"Your Highness, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

The captain of the pro-guard found that all these people came for Gu Xingzhi.Those accompanying officials were not taken seriously by them at all.They didn't even touch the food delivered, it was obvious that all they wanted was Gu Xingzhi's life!

The opponent has a large number of people, and all of them are killing moves. The guards have survived until now, and they are already at the end of their strength.But they wanted to protect Gu Xingzhi wholeheartedly, so they were always looking for opportunities to let Gu Xingzhi break through.

The man in black forced them to the intersection where they came. There were people blocking it before, so they couldn't get through.But now, the men in black have also suffered heavy losses, and all the main forces are fighting with them in front. From here, there is still a glimmer of life.

"Your Highness, we are in the way, you go first!"

The personal guards of the Prince's Mansion have never been afraid of life and death.Their only mission is to protect Gu Xingzhi's safety.If even Gu Xingzhi was here, it would be worse than death for them!
Gu Xingzhi flipped away the sword stabbing behind him with his backhand. Hearing this, he took a deep look at him, and there was a hint of warmth in his ice-like eyes.

"Not yet."

He left a word coldly, then stepped on the shoulder of a man in black, and jumped directly in front of the leader man in black.When he was fighting with Gu Xingzhi just now, he was stabbed in the shoulder by Gu Xingzhi. At this time, he retreated behind under the cover of his subordinates.

Capture the thief first and capture the king, this is an even more ancient principle on the battlefield.

Just like the man in black desperately wanted to kill Gu Xingzhi, Gu Xingzhi came with a sword, and there was only one target!
"careful!"

I don't know who yelled, but the leader of the man in black felt his eyes go blank, and then his eyes were so painful that he couldn't open them at all.The sound of the wind changed at this moment, he closed his eyes and rushed to the left, avoiding Gu Xingzhi's sword just in time!

"lime powder?"

The unusual smell in the air made the men in black quickly realize that they had been tricked by Gu Xingzhi.Who would have thought that a dignified third prince would use lime powder in such a despicable way!

"Zong Yan, come on!"

With Gu Xingzhi's order, Zong Yan, the captain of the personal guard, took the opportunity to rush forward with people.The men in black were blinded by the lime powder. They were like blind men, they couldn't see anything, they could only rely on their senses to defend.

Soon, he was subdued by Zong Yan and others.

And at this time, the officers and soldiers fighting in the rear finally broke through the encirclement of the men in black and led them in to fight, "Protect Your Highness!"

Gu Xingzhi was not confused by the victory in front of him. His master once said, never care what method you use. When you work hard, the one who survives is the winner.And, never take your enemies lightly, otherwise, you will definitely be the one who dies!
The man in black at the head is indeed the leader of these people. He quickly adapted to the inconvenient sight situation, and retreated while taking precautions according to his original memory.But Gu Xingzhi would not give him a chance to leave, so he dodged a few times and came directly in front of the man in black - piercing his waist and abdomen mercilessly!
"Boss!"

The person who was protecting the man in black came to his senses and immediately raised his sword to stab Gu Xingzhi.But Gu Xingzhi is like a walking ghost, the figure has clearly arrived in front of him, but when the sword passes by, it disappears out of thin air and appears on the other side...

"Damn! What kind of crooked way is this?"

The leader was assassinated, and the people in black had no intention of fighting, and only focused on protecting the leader and retreating.Seeing this, Zong Yan and others wanted to rush up with them, but they were stopped by Gu Xingzhi, "Don't chase."

"why?"

In a hurry, Zong Yan offended Gu Xingzhi unconsciously.He consciously slipped his words, but he still explained: "These people's origins are unknown, if they run away, there will be no trace of them."

This group of men in black obviously came for Gu Xingzhi. Now that the leader is injured, if they can take the opportunity to catch them all, they will also know the mastermind behind the scenes.After all, the capital crime of assassinating the prince cannot be committed by ordinary people.

"Don't chase after the poor." Gu Xingzhi asked people to count the supplies and count the casualties on his side, and then said to Zong Yan: "It's not that they can't fight, but they don't want to fight."

These men in black are well-trained, and they are not at the same level as the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.If the leader hadn't been injured, which made them fearful, they probably wouldn't have retreated so easily.That's why Gu Xingzhi chased after the leading man in black.

Zong Yan felt ashamed, "Your Highness is thoughtful, but your subordinates are narrow-minded."

He was dazzled by the fighting spirit, and when he saw the opponent retreating, he thought of taking advantage of the victory to pursue him.But it never occurred to them that they would not have the upper hand in the first place, and if they pursued fiercely and drove the opponent to the point of nowhere to retreat, they might not be able to protect themselves.

When the time comes, both sides will suffer. If they die, it will be a minor matter. If something happens to the third prince, it will be too late to regret.

Moreover, they went to Datong this time for disaster relief.The disaster victims are still in their hands to order life-saving food. If it is delayed, the consequences will be even more disastrous!The more Zong Yan thought about it, the more frightened he felt—he was not as calm as His Highness!
When Gu Xingzhi was in Yanjing City, he had never experienced these things.Even if it was an assassination, it was done secretly. Such a blatant assassination was unheard of.

But the first time he saw blood, he was able to keep his face unchanged.Even when he was confused, he could still make decisions calmly. He really didn't look like a prince who was raised in the Fugui Pavilion.Zong Yan felt that he seemed to really understand his master at this time.

And this didn't make him afraid or timid, but made him more excited and yearning!

Let me ask, who wouldn't want to be with a real master?

"It's okay, take someone to see the casualties on the side where the food is being escorted. Those who are injured can walk by themselves, and those who can't, let the uninjured be carried." Gu Xingzhi said with blood still on his face When he spoke, there was an inexplicably chilling air that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Yes!"

Zong Yan worked quickly, and ordered the entire team according to the instructions of the caregiver.Then it was discovered that their casualties were far more serious than imagined, and even several accompanying ministers were injured.

He couldn't help thinking that it was a good thing he didn't catch up at that time, otherwise, the consequences might not be something he could afford...

After Zong Yan came back, he reported the situation to Gu Xingzhi.Eunuch Liu was also at the side. Hearing this, he became anxious, "This is almost half the number of people. Not to mention anything else, there are not enough people just to deliver food..."
