Chapter 339: A bet
It's just that what Gu Wanwan didn't expect was that Zhang Xun didn't even blink his eyelids and rejected Jiang Yuqing.
"The subordinates were ordered by the prince to protect Miss Jiang, and they don't need any reward!"
"You ......" Jiang Yuqing obviously didn't think that such a high remuneration would be rejected, but she didn't get angry immediately, but quickly followed Zhang Xun's words, "In this case, if she wants to kill me, you should kill her." ”
It seems that Jiang Yuqing really wants to kill her.
Wuyan had already stood beside Gu Wanwan, and when she heard this, she nervously held Gu Wanwan's hand, she was afraid that Zhang Xun would really listen to Jiang Yuqing's words and make a detrimental move to Gu Wanwan.
Gu Wanwan looked at Zhang Xun quietly, this person who claimed to be the most loyal Yan Wushuang, would really obey Jiang Yuqing's order and kill her?
Zhang Xun still had the same face under the attention of everyone, and he didn't even change the tone of his voice.
"If someone really wants to kill Miss Jiang, his subordinates should protect him." Zhang Xun looked at Jiang Yuqing and said, "But now, my subordinates don't see anyone wanting to kill Miss Jiang." ”
"You didn't see it? Gu Wanwan walked towards me just now, didn't you see it? Jiang Yuqing's eyes widened with anger.
"The subordinates did see the princess coming, but the princess didn't do anything to hurt the princess." Zhang Xun replied calmly.
Hearing this, Gu Wanwan almost laughed out loud, it seems that Zhang Xun is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong and is instigated by others, Jiang Yuqing's words did not make him lose his judgment.
"Good! You're good! Jiang Yuqing's voice trembled with anger, she couldn't say anything anymore, glared at Zhang Xun fiercely, and quickly turned around to leave.
"Guard Zhang, thank you." Seeing this, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Where, disturbing the princess, is it a lowly duty." Zhang Xun saluted Gu Wanwan before leaving with Jiang Yuqing.
"Princess, I was really scared just now, I was afraid that Guard Zhang would do something to you." Seeing the figures of the two quickly disappear into the mist, Wuyan said with some fear, "But princess, you don't seem to be afraid at all." ”
"What's so scary about that?" Gu Wanwan chuckled.
"In this way, is the princess sure that she will win against the Zhang guards?" Hearing this, Wuyan looked at Gu Wanwan curiously.
"Half a chance!" She hadn't competed against Zhang Xun yet, and she didn't know how his martial arts were, but since she could be Yan Wushuang's personal guard, her martial arts would definitely not be much worse.
"But if you add a few guards over there, I'm afraid I'm sure you'll lose." Gu Wanwan looked at one place, where there was a thick mist, but she knew very well that behind those fogs were Yan Wushuang's close guards, each of whom was a person with martial arts.
"Huh? Then why are you not afraid at all? Shameless was stunned. She always thought that the princess was not afraid because the princess was confident that she could defeat the people of Lord Yan, but now that she heard it, the princess knew very well that she was at a disadvantage, so why was she not afraid?
"What's the use of being afraid? If Zhang Xun really wants to listen to Jiang Yuqing's words and wants to kill me, then even if I am afraid, it is useless to beg him hard. "Since Zhang Xun can become Yan Wushuang's most powerful subordinate, it must be of high quality in all parties, how could he spare her after listening to a few words of pleading?
"But how do you know that Guard Zhang won't listen to Jiang Yuqing's words and won't kill you?" Wuyan was still very puzzled in his heart.
"I don't know!" She was telling the truth, with the situation at the time, she really couldn't be sure what choice Zhang Xun would make, because the situation happened too suddenly and reversed too quickly.
Faced with this too sudden situation, she didn't know how to react, how could she make such an accurate judgment in such a short time?
"I'm just trying to gamble." She had to gamble.
"Bet? How to bet? Wuyan listened with a blank face.
"I think that since Zhang Xun can be reused by Yan Wushuang, he must be very trusted by Yan Wushuang. And since he can gain Yan Wushuang's trust, there must be something he can trust, so I believe that he is not the kind of person who will betray his master for fame and fortune. Gu Wanwan replied with a smile.
"So that's the case, princess, you guessed it right, Zhang Guard is really such a person." Wuyan also smiled after hearing this.
"Good thing I guessed right." Otherwise, the situation is really unimaginable, so many people deal with her and Wuyan, they will definitely lose. And Yan Wushuang and Bai Wutong didn't come back, and they couldn't stop the situation here at all, if that was the case, Jiang Yuqing's face didn't know how proud it would be.
But in fact, it was only just now that she discovered one thing, it turned out that Yan Wushuang was not by her side, and she would have such a panic in her heart.
As long as he was still there, even if he was angry with her and threatened how to deal with her, she would not be so scared in her heart, because she could be sure of one thing, no matter how vicious Yan Wushuang was, he would not really want to hurt her.
But where is he now? Why haven't you come back yet?
There are also Bai Wutong and Qingcheng, almost all the people who are closest to her in this world have left and gone to the same place, and I don't know when they will come back.
This feeling made her very uneasy, as if she was in the middle of a vast sea, and she was guarding a flat boat, waiting for the rescue that did not know when it would come.
The three of them didn't return all night, and she and Wuyan didn't rest all night, taking turns shouting in the direction where the three left, hoping that they could hear the sound and come back soon.
On the other side, Gu Wanwan could also faintly detect a restlessness, coming from the group of guards, who began to talk about the loss of the prince. The loss of nearly half of the guards before had already caused fear in their hearts, but fortunately, Yan Wushuang was still by their side at that time, and with the prestige of his prince, he was able to suppress these people.
But now that even Yan Wushuang is gone, the fear caused in their hearts can be imagined. The guards felt that they were just sitting and waiting for death to wait any longer, and they were desperately trying to maintain Zhang Xun.
By dawn, the restlessness could not be suppressed.
I don't know who stood up and shouted: "Even the prince is lost, what are we still doing here?" Waiting to die? Let's go our separate ways and find a way, shall we? ”
This was quickly echoed by the other guards.
"That's right, we can only wait for death here, we should rely on ourselves, with our years of training, can't we go out?"
"Alright, let's go now!" Soon everyone chimed in and wanted to leave.
"You are only asking for your own death by doing this, you should believe in the prince, only the prince can take us away!" Zhang Xun shouted angrily at the group of guards who were preparing to mutiny.
"Believe in the prince? Do you know where the prince is now? One of the guards asked.
Zhang Xun was silent, not knowing how to respond. When the guard saw it, he immediately said: "Zhang Xun, you are a celebrity next to the prince, even you don't know where the prince has gone, and you still let us wait here?" Don't you want us to die? ”
"Yes, Zhang Xun, everyone has followed the prince for so many years, you will let us live, right?" Another guard followed.
"You also said, after following the prince for so many years, not only in life, but also on the battlefield together, when did the prince make a wrong decision? Why can't you trust the prince this time? Zhang Xun asked sharply.
The guard was stopped by him and couldn't speak, but the companion on the other side saw it, and hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said: "The past is the past, this time it is the Misty Forest, I don't know how many people are lost in this forest and die in this forest, maybe the prince will be one of them." In such a situation, how can we continue to believe in the prince? We can only believe in ourselves, and we have to rely on our own strength to get out of this forest. ”
This righteous indignant remark was said in the hearts of every guard, and they felt that the prince could no longer be relied on, and they had to rely on their own strength to get a chance to survive.
Outside was the earth-shattering noise, and inside the carriage, Jiang Yuqing had already shrunk into a ball. Her face was filled with tears of fear, and her heart was filled with horror. All night, she had been listening to the guards talk about what was going on.
In the past, Yan Wushuang was there, and he didn't dare to say it, but now that Yan Wushuang is gone, the guards no longer have any scruples, and they say anything. She realized that the team had suddenly stopped, not because they wanted to rest, but because they had lost their way.
Yan Wushuang had already taken danger in person because of this, and went out to find a way out, but he had gone for a day and a night and had not come back until now. The guards couldn't wait any longer, and they prepared to leave, each looking for a way out. So what should she do? If Yan Wushuang never comes back, then what will she do?
Isn't she going to die in this forest? Thinking of this, she could no longer restrain the fear in her heart, and tears burst down the embankment.
Outside the carriage, there was chaos again. Zhang Xun saw that he couldn't control the scene, so he drew his sword: "Whoever wants to leave, asked me about this sword first!" ”
"Zhang Xun, you forced us!" Seeing this, the guards drew their swords one after another.
Although they are not Zhang Xun's opponents, they are outnumbered and will not necessarily lose to Zhang Xun.
And just when the saber was tense and would start a fight at any time, a petite figure broke into it and stopped everyone.
It's none other than Gu Wanwan. His emerald green clothes fluttered in the wind, looming in the mist, giving people a strange illusion, as if they were living creatures that could bring life to people.
"Listen to me before you do it." Gu Wanwan looked at Zhang Xun, and then at a group of guards on the other side, and saw that everyone was looking at her, waiting for her to continue, so she continued, "The current situation may make everyone panic, but we must calm down, only by calming down, can we think of countermeasures, such rash impulses, not only will not make us out of the forest, but will cause more damage." ”
