The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1394

Chapter 1394: 676 Beating Up (Second Update)

In a private room of a tea house, three scholars were savoring tea and composing poetry.

Suddenly, one of them put down his brush and said with a puzzled expression, "Did you guys hear a very strange noise?"

His companion opposite commented, "No, what noise?"

The one sitting next to him listened carefully and frowned, "It seems there is one."

He quickly added, "Right? You heard it too?"

The previously unconcerned scholar also widened his eyes, "I, I heard it too!"

Soon, all three of them didn’t just hear it, they felt it through and through.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushions, the floor shook intermittently, and the four treasures of the study on the table trembled.

"Is someone hammering the ground below us?"

"Or is it that the earth dragon is turning over?"

With a loud ’duang’, all the inkstones on the table fell to the ground!

The trio huddled together in fright!

This punch was for Mu Chuan’s arm!

This punch was for Mu Qingchen’s internal injuries.

And this punch was for the hand injuries of Zhao Wei and Yuan Xiao.

Gu Jiao, clutching a large hemp sack, Duang——Duang——Duang, pummeled from the east end of the alley to the west end, and then back from the west end to the east.

The consciousness of the Heir of the Han Family was actually clear; it just had to be said that his constitution and martial prowess were really too formidable. If they hadn’t used some tricks, they really couldn’t have subdued him.

Gu Jiao really wanted to slaughter him with a single cut, but before she could draw her sword, the Han Family’s experts had already arrived.

Gu Jiao sensed the presence of the loyal bodyguards, more than one, and all stronger than the Sky Wolf.

Uh, I can’t beat them.

Gentlemen can wait ten years to fight.

Gu Jiao decisively kept the hemp sack and scurried away with a whoosh!

...

Xiao Hen came out of Yuebin Building.

His carriage stopped in the alley diagonally opposite.

The coachman was a servant bought after his arrival in Shengdu; loyal to him and trustworthy.

He had just seated himself when Gu Jiao flashed into the carriage, gasping in short breaths, "Huff~"

It was evident just how fast she had been running.

"What happened?" Xiao Hen asked, "Did something happen? Or were you discovered?"

Gu Jiao thought for a moment and shook her head, "Hmm, not discovered."

"Did the Han Family send out a skilled fighter?" Xiao Hen speculated.

Gu Jiao counted on her fingers and said earnestly, "Skilled or not doesn’t matter, the main issue is that there weren’t enough sacks to cover them all."

Xiao Hen: "..."

"I’ll take you to the southern city gate," Xiao Hen offered.

"No need, I’ll go by myself," Gu Jiao declined, unsure if the Heir would suspect her involvement and not wanting to expose Xiao Hen as a result.

Understanding her reasoning, Xiao Hen reassured, "Don’t worry, he won’t suspect you."

Although Gu Jiao had issues with Han Che, letting the Heir guess that today’s incident was her doing would be beyond his imagination.

Gu Jiao was bold, but the Heir would never expect her audacity to extend so far.

Gu Jiao was skilled, but again, the Heir would never expect she was that skilled.

And there were two more crucial points: the black fire bead and her identity as a person from a lower-ranked country.

The black fire bead was an object only possessed by the royal family and top-tier noble houses of Yan Country; in everyone’s eyes, it couldn’t possibly end up in the hands of someone from a lower-ranked country.

The identity of a person from a lower-ranked country was a double-edged sword, burdened with much unfairness, yet also provided a natural Blinding Technique.

"How is it going with the Prince of Ming?" Gu Jiao inquired.

"He’s drunk, resting in the restaurant," Xiao Hen replied.

The Prince of Ming thought he could take advantage of the situation to win over a beauty, but after Xiao Hen poured him a cup of liquor, he was immediately knocked out.

This was his own drunkenness; the Jin Yi Guards could not blame Xiao Hen.

Xiao Hen casually left behind some scribbles that looked like a ruined painting of a small clear sky, and left openly and upright.

Gu Jiao removed the mask from her face and took off the black clothes, changing back into the uniform of Tianqiong Academy.

Xiao Hen gentlemanly turned his face away, looking elsewhere.

After Gu Jiao finished changing, she stared at him for two seconds and said, "Why is your face red again? I was just changing my outer garment."

Xiao Hen cleared his throat and said with gravity, "It’s hot."

...

Xiao Hen escorted Gu Jiao all the way to the vicinity of the southern inner city gate.

Gu Jiao didn’t have an inner city pass, and Xiao Hen was about to offer his, but then they saw people from Tianqiong Academy.

They were actually all waiting for her.

The group found a noodle shop nearby and had lunch. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
