Gu Zhao was stunned for a moment when a strong force came from behind. His whole body involuntarily threw forward and was immediately controlled by the two Donghao killers.

A smile flashed at the corner of Yuan Zhimei's mouth under the veil, but she said in panic, "Don't hurt her, just say whatever you want, I'm rich!"

"We don't want money!" The leader of the Donghao people who controlled Yuan Zhimei said viciously, "Qin Xinglie has killed so many of our compatriots, and we want him to experience the same feeling of losing a loved one today!"

Gu Zhao also had a knife on his neck, but his expression was much calmer than Yuan Zhimei's.

She just looked at Zheng Lunru quietly.

Zheng Lunru pretended to be injured by the Donghao people and rested against a tree. Just now he took the opportunity to push Gu Zhao into the hands of the Donghao people.

"Are you really not afraid that Qin Xinglie will kill your whole family?" Gu Zhao's emotion made Zheng Lunru turn pale, but he soon raised his head.

"I'm here to save the prince's mother!" Zheng Lunru said firmly, "It's too late for the prince to thank me, so how could he kill me?"

Gu Zhao looked at his slightly trembling arms and his obviously self-convincing tone, and showed a trace of pity, "I really didn't expect that the heroic General Zheng would have such a stupid son like you."

"Colluding with Dong Hao as a spy for women's sake has brought disrepute to the Zheng family."

"For the sake of female sex, the lives of the whole family were put at risk."

Gu Zhao shook her head, and the Dong Hao killer who held her hostage nervously warned, "Don't move around. If you move around again, I'll kill you!"

Zheng Lunru's face turned pale and pale.

However, soon a group of capable Hussars soldiers emerged from the forest, and he suddenly felt confident.

Du Pinggu's face was darker than the bottom of the pot. The prince specially asked him to bring people to protect the princess, but the princess fell into the hands of the Donghao people. His old face for so many years was lost!

Zheng Lunru really regretted following Yuan Zhimei and appearing in front of Gu Zhao. It would have been better if he had only appeared at this time. At least he could have pretended to have heard the news and came to the rescue without having to confront King Li directly.

He looked at Du Pinggu and his party, with murderous intent in his eyes.

After killing all these dozen death-seeking soldiers, no one will know what he just said and did.

Zheng Lunru made up his mind and waved his arm, "Kill them all!"

Du Pinggu also understood that he wanted to kill someone and silence him, and sneered, "How could Zheng Xize have a son as stupid as you?" With the speed of the prince, he should arrive here immediately from the Prince's Courtyard.

If Zheng Lunru doesn't run away now, he won't be able to leave even if he wants to later.

Gu Zhao was held by two Donghao people with knives on his neck and dragged to the edge of the cliff, almost side by side with Yuan Zhimei.

She brushed her fingers from her legs and gently pressed the Emei thorn, looking for an opportunity to escape.

Yuan Zhimei's thin voice reached Gu Zhao's ears: "You are waiting for Yuan Fu to come and save you, right?"

"You think you are the person he cares about most, but soon the facts will tell you that you are wrong."

Gu Zhao ignored her, only thinking that there was something wrong with Yuan Zhimei's brain.

Just to prove that she was more important to Qin Xinglie than Gu Zhao, she let the Donghao people hold them both hostage?

Gu Zhao couldn't understand Yuan Zhimei's train of thought at all.

This kind of thing is not something a mother can do! Even most wives wouldn’t be so extreme, okay?

Moreover, Yuan Zhimei is not sincere towards anyone, just like Zheng Lunru just now, who betrayed his family and the court for Yuan Zhimei, but does Yuan Zhimei have any pity for him?

If Yuan Zhimei had thought a little more about Zheng Lunru, he would not have allowed Zheng Lunru to appear publicly in front of Gu Zhao.

She did this to tie up Zheng Lunru and leave him no way out. As for what the consequences would be if Zheng Lunru revealed his identity, I'm afraid Yuan Zhimei would like to see it happen...

A cold light flashed in Gu Zhao's eyes. Yuan Zhimei likes to scheme against others so much. Have you ever thought that one day she will be schemed against?

Especially since she has played Qin Xinglie like a fool for so many years, has she ever thought about whether she can withstand it if Qin Xinglie really goes crazy?

There were many more people in the Hussars Battalion than there were in Du Pinggu's group, so they immediately surrounded them. The torches shone on the tips of their spears with a cold light, pointing at the dozen or so people in Du Pinggu who were surrounded.

There are also nearly a hundred Donghao people guarding the outside, and they will never give Du Pinggu and others a chance to escape.

Yuan Zhimei looked at the blood-splattered fight in front of her, her face uncertain.

When those rebels stormed into the palace, there were scenes like this everywhere. Isn't it because she has been quietly wooing all the forces over the years so that one day she will no longer be manipulated by others at will?

This Gu Zhao is very proud and thinks that everything she owns is earned through her own ability, so she naturally despises herself.

She probably didn't know how she could have gone so smoothly without Qin Xinglie's help many times behind the scenes.

This time, she must get rid of Gu Zhao's arrogance, make Gu Zhao obediently obey her arrangements, and help her control Qin Xinglie, this crazy tiger!

Just as Yuan Zhimei was thinking about it, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the dark night sky, no, it was faster and brighter than lightning.

This ray of light flew down from a high place and circled one of the two groups of people fighting fiercely. The battlefield that had been shouting just now instantly became quiet.

The dozen or so Hussars soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground almost simultaneously. A tall figure appeared in front of Du Pinggu - a black cloak, a ghost mask, and the long sword in his hand was still dripping with blood.

King Li is here!
