The Legitimate Miss Returns With Honor

Being blown by the cold wind outside, Gu Jinzhu was tipsy and her vision was hazy. She waved her hand at Yun Xiang, "It's nothing, I just drank a little …"

Before she could finish, her body shook again, and she and Bea rushed forward to support her.

Gu Jinzhu took the opportunity to leave Gu Yiqing's grasp. Although she was a little drunk, she was incomparably clear in her heart. Ever since that night, she was unable to stay close to him, so she felt very awkward.

Yun Xiang blessed Gu Yiqing, indicating that she and Bi Yu would send the little miss back. Gu Yingqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion's backyard, the two girls busily heated up the water for her and took a bath. After everything was properly cleaned up, Gu Jinzhu was only wearing her close-fitting clothes as she comfortably lay on the bed.

Bea took a comb and ran it through her hair, and through the steam of the hot water, her white skin reddened a little, like a layer of fine rouge, and her hair was spread out on her pillow like a cloud, and her hands were light and heavy on her head, and from time to time she massaged her acupoints, and she fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown period of time, as if she was dreaming, her eyes turned completely red, as though she was in a sea of fire. A sharp wail sounded beside her ear.

Gu Jinzhu struggled with all her might, but it was as if her body was tied up by a nightmare and she couldn't move at all. She was anxious and afraid at the same time as she struggled with all her might.

The sound in her ears suddenly grew louder, as if someone was screaming. She abruptly opened her eyes. Her vision became so dark that she could almost hear her breathing in the darkness.

She felt her heart racing and her body was soaked in cold sweat. She didn't even have the time to call out to the two girls before she heard noises coming from outside. Waves of light shone through the window.

Gu Jinzhu's expression immediately changed. If she hadn't seen wrongly, it was because of the fire! Just like in her dream, there was a huge fire outside. The shadows of people running and crying mixed together, making it hard for her to tell if it was a dream or reality.

She was frightened out of her wits and shouted, "Fragrance? Fragrance? "Bi'er?"

No one in the room answered, but the two girls didn't know where they had gone. Gu Jinzhu stumbled and jumped off the bed. She didn't know what to do, when she heard a window creak and a figure broke through the window, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.

That person instantly jumped in front of her and held her in his arms. Gu Jinzhu was frightened out of her wits, but just as she was about to struggle with all her might, borrowing the red light of the fire, she saw the familiar face in front of her.

Gu Yiqing whispered, "Don't move." She was about to take her out, but as soon as she got close, the two of them simultaneously realized that something was wrong. She was only wearing close-fitting clothes when she slept, and her body was almost half naked.

Gu Yiqing's pupils constricted. The sounds of fighting outside were getting closer and closer. He no longer hesitated, took off his shirt, wrapped it around her, and jumped out while hugging her.

Outside, Gu Jinzhu discovered that the entire backyard had turned into a sea of fire. The flames were blazing, and people were running in every direction, creating a mess.

Countless men in black were holding bows and arrows as they surrounded the yard and engaged the guards in battle.

Saber lights, sword shadows, arrows flying everywhere. Gu Yiqing was also dressed in black and was among the group of men in black. He was jumping up and down. Although he was holding a person in his arms, his speed was extremely fast.

The black-clothed man who had rushed over was killed by him with a single sword strike. Blood splattered everywhere. Gu Jinzhu was so scared that she didn't even dare look at him. She buried her face in his chest and tightly wrapped her arms around his neck.

Gu Yiqing felt her soft body trembling in her arms as she patted her back to comfort her. Gu Jinzhu heard the crying coming from all directions and was worried about Yun Xiang and the rest. She couldn't help but stick her head out and look around. Her face was anxious.

However, the yard was in chaos, and the attendants were screaming for their lives. She could not tell which one was Yun Xiang and Bi Meng. As she saw a black shadow charging towards her, the sword in her hand transformed into a streak of lightning.

Gu Yiqing turned her body to the side and protected her behind her. The two of them were engaged in a fierce battle. Sword light flashed and sparks flew in all directions, causing Gu Jinzhu's heart to tremble.

Amidst the flashes and flashes of swords and sabers, seeing the men in black getting more and more numerous, Gu Qingqing forced the man in front of her back with a single sword. She suddenly flew up to the top of the wall and let out a whistle.

Gu Yiqing brought her and jumped onto the horse's back. Gu Jinzhu was so scared that she shut her eyes tightly. She could only hear the wind whistling past her ears as she sat steadily on the horse.

The black horse galloped like the wind, the scenery on both sides turning into a shadow. She hugged his waist tightly as she watched the fire behind her burn even hotter. The entire backyard of the City Lord's Mansion was engulfed in a sea of fire, which dyed half the sky red.

Countless black-clothed men were in hot pursuit. He whipped his horse with his whip, his speed reaching his limit.

Gu Jinzhu had never ridden a horse before, and because her body was tightly wrapped up, she couldn't move at all. At this moment, she was extremely uncomfortable, so she could only hold on tightly to him.

The sound of arrows piercing through the air came from behind him. Gu Yiqing lowered her body and the two of them tightly pressed against each other.

Even though they were on the verge of death, Gu Jinzhu still felt her cheeks burning hot. She recalled that the first time she rode a horse, she was worried about riding together with him.

According to the etiquette she had received, her reputation was gone without a trace, and she had been completely seen by him just a moment ago.

She could not help but quietly raise her head. Under the faint moonlight, the godlike and handsome man tightly pursed his lips. His eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of frost, and his expression was firm yet cold.

Gu Jinzhu's heartbeat unconsciously sped up. Everyone liked beautiful things, and this kind of man was unstoppable to girls who had just opened their hearts. Just thinking about how he was her elder, the weak flame in her heart would be extinguished and instead, a feeling of shame rose up in her heart.

The road became steeper and steeper, with shadows flickering on both sides. No one knew where they had run to, but the sounds of horses galloping could be heard. Quite a few pursuers were chasing after them, and even the ground beneath their feet seemed to be shaking.

This danger was different from the past. There were so many pursuers behind them, it was hard for them to escape. She had already heard the horse panting heavily beneath her, perhaps it wouldn't be long before they were caught.

She might die tonight, but she was surprisingly not scared at all. These two days, they had met each other for life and death, and she was no longer the girl who had never left her home. Her journey had been fraught with danger, but it had also allowed her to see the other side of the world.
