Chapter 20: I'm Coming to Save You
Gu Jiuge followed the only remaining memory in her mind to a ruined temple in the west of the city, she pushed the door and entered, the squeaking sound was particularly clear and harsh in the silent snowy night.
A pair of deep eyes were hidden in the dark, looking coldly at the woman who walked in, and there was a faint smell of blood all over her body. He tightened the sword in his hand, as if as long as Gu Jiuge moved, the sword would fly over and take her life.
"What people!" As soon as Gu Jiuge approached, he felt a chill against his neck, and the blade of the sword glowed with cold light, making people shudder.
Gu Jiuge's brows furrowed, and before he could speak, there was already a sound of footsteps outside the door. Gu Jiu Ge didn't have time to react, he flew forward and threw the man to the ground, and touched the bulge of the Buddha statue's base, the stone door suddenly turned, Gu Jiu Ge pulled the man to dodge in, and finally escaped the catastrophe.
All this happened too fast, so fast that Mu Liang didn't react at all, there was no light in the secret room, and he could only vaguely smell the faint scent of wood on the woman's body.
"What about people? I've escaped here! A man's angry voice came from outside the stone gate, Mu Liang moved his body carefully, his ears were close to the stone door, and he listened to the movement outside.
"I saw him hiding here, and he's so badly injured that he can't get far!" Another frightened man's voice sounded, and then there was a sound of Si Suo Suo outside the stone gate, presumably those people were rummaging for Mu Liang's whereabouts.
After a long time, they gave up and left scoldingly.
When the outside returned to quiet, Gu Jiuge relaxed a little and exhaled lightly. But she had forgotten where she was now, and in this dark space, she and a strange man were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
Mu Liang didn't say a word, waiting for Gu Jiuge to open the stone door, and then the two staggered out.
"Who are you?" After what happened just now, Mu Liang's tone was much better, at least there was not so strong murderous aura.
"Miss Xiangfu, Gu Jiuge." Gu Jiuge didn't hide his identity when he heard this, and said very generously.
Mu Liang frowned when he heard this, he had heard of the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion before. The legendary Gu Jiuge has no virtue, no talent, no appearance, arrogant, and willful.
But looking at the calm and self-contained woman in front of her, she is not as unbearable as the legend.
"You're here to save me?" Putting away his doubts, Mu Liang looked at her and asked in a deep voice. After all, he didn't believe that a young lady would wander to this inaccessible ruined temple in the middle of the night.
"The prince misunderstood, the courtiers just passed by by accident." Gu Jiuge said lightly, according to Mu Liang's temperament, if she said that she came to save him on purpose, things would be more and more troublesome.
After all, the two had not crossed paths before.
"Miss Gu is interesting, a daughter's house passed by the broken temple in the middle of the night." Mu Liang said with a sneer, obviously not believing what she said. What's more, Gu Jiuge still knew his identity.
Gu Jiuge just glanced at him when he heard this, and stepped forward to untie his clothes. Mu Liang was shocked and retreated again and again.
"Miss Gu, please respect yourself!" Mu Liang almost gritted his teeth and spit out such a sentence, but fortunately it was night, and he couldn't see the embarrassed look on his face clearly.
