Chapter 352: Who Can Save Her?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shan Jiefu was killed, and the remaining hundreds of soldiers were captured alive.
Even though they had won, no one looked happy at all. They were all worried about Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong’s situation.
Auntie Yang cursed, “Damn Old Dog Gu, if you have a death wish, why do you have to drag Master Chu along?”
If not for Gu Chilie, Chu Tianbao would not have fallen into a dilemma.
Everyone was worried that Gu Chilie would send more troops. Bai Wutong had already sent someone to imitate Shan Jiefu ‘s handwriting and invited him to attack from outside that night.
Gu Chilie was overjoyed to receive Shan Jiefu’s letter and immediately set off with his army.
Gu Liancheng insisted on following. After Gu Chilie rejected her, she quietly followed behind the army.
As the sky darkened, the guard outside Gu Liancheng’s carriage groaned a few times and fell off his horse. The horse neighed and ran away in a frantic.
Gu Liancheng could not shout. In just a moment after Meng Weiwei screamed loudly, a dark guard rushed in and knocked them out with one hand.
Gu Chilie’s army was lurking around the tent, waiting for Shan Jiefu’s signal.
“Pa-”
A firework flashed in the quiet night sky. The sound of a chaotic battle could be heard. Gu Chilie smiled and waved his rope. “Charge!”
They quickly completely rushed into the encirclement set up by Bai Wutong. There were archers prepared in all directions, as well as thick smoke. There were traps dug on the ground and explosives that could be detonated anywhere.
The horses neighed. Gu Chilie was thrown into the trap dug up beforehand. Before he could get up, the frightened horses behind him fell down again with the soldiers. If Gu Chilie had not dodged quickly, the horses that weighed hundreds of kilograms would have broken his spine.
The strong smoke had an effect. Gu Chilie was dizzy when he got up and realised that he had been ambushed.
He stabbed himself hard in the thigh to wake himself up instantly.
He shouted behind him, “Wake up. Cover your mouth and nose and charge! ‘
However, his roar was really too weak amidst the soldiers’ continuous screams.
Even if someone heard it, after being drugged, they would still fall to the ground weakly.
Suddenly, You Huaijie appeared in front of the dissipating smoke. “Marshal Gu, admit to your crimes!”
Gu Chilie had never lost such a tragic battle like that day.
He knew that he had underestimated his enemy.
He also knew that he wanted to be an emperor like Chu Shixiong so badly that he was so careless and fell into You Huaijie’s hands.
However, he was the marshal of the Gu family army. He would never admit defeat to anyone.
Gu Chilie shouted at You Huaijie, “Where’s Gu Junyan? Call him out to see me!”
When Emperor Linghui knew that he had rebelled, he would definitely not let him off. He would also definitely not leave a huge threat behind. Therefore, he would definitely die.
However, he still had a daughter. He had to leave a way out for Gu Liancheng.
Gu Chilie definitely had ill intentions when he wanted to see Chu Tianbao.
Bai Wutong gave the fake Chu Tianbao a look and he remained unmoved.
Gu Chilie, who had not seen Chu Tianbao appear, said sadly to his surroundings, “In my entire life, I’ve never knelt to the heavens, the earth, my parents, and even the emperor. Today, I’ll kneel to you. Please take good care of my daughter, Liancheng!’
He guessed that Chu Tianbao must be around.
When there was no response, Gu Chilie shouted again, “Could it be that our father-son relationship for so many years is all a lie? Can’t you agree to this small request? Liancheng is the sister you grew up with. She likes you so much!”
When Bai Wutong heard this, she could no longer continue listening.
Why should Chu Tianbao pay for his mistake?
Even if he was entrusting his remaining child, it depended on whether she agreed or not.
The moment Bai Wutong lowered her eyes, a dart hit Gu Chilie’s shoulder with a whoosh.
The powerful anesthetic quickly took effect. Just as he was about to fall into the pit, the dark guard flew forward, grabbed him, and locked him in chains.
With Gu Chilie captured, there was no longer any threat in the southern frontier. There was no need to hide the fake Chu Tianbao’s identity.
Bai Wutong asked the fake Chu Tianbao to remove the disguise mask to prevent everyone from talking about Chu Tianbao’s heartlessness.
Realizing that Chu Tianbao was a dark guard in disguise, everyone came to a realization. It was no wonder that Madam Bai and Master Chu, who had such a
good relationship, would suddenly sleep in separate beds.
So this was not Master Chu.
Then where did the real Master Chu go?
No one knew. Anyone could tell that Bai Wutong was in a bad mood, nor did they want her to waste more energy.
When Meng Weiwei woke up the next morning, she realized that her hands and feet were chained and she was locked in the same open-air cell as Gu Liancheng and Gu Chilie.
In an instant, her heart sank.
If Gu Chilie was arrested, what should she do!
She regretted following Gu Liancheng and was even implicated by her into jail. If Gu Chilie had not slowly opened his eyes, she would have rushed forward to slap Gu Liancheng a few times.
Gu Chilie opened his eyes. His daughter was lying beside him. His heart tightened. When he realized that she was still breathing, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to help his daughter up, he realized that all the internal energy in his body had been sucked away and his meridians had been severed. He immediately cursed ferociously, “Who is it! Which bastard did it! I’m going to kill you! ‘
Gu Chilie’s roar woke Gu Liancheng up. She opened her eyes and saw that she had become a prisoner. Her father was still shouting crazily in her ear. She immediately fell into despair and tears flowed.
Gu Chilie saw his daughter crying silently. He reached out to wipe her tears, but he could not.
Thinking that he had actually fallen to such a state, for a moment, tears streamed down his face. It was as if his eyes had aged overnight. It was unknown if he regretted it or hated that he had not succeeded.
Realizing that Gu Chilie had become a cripple, Meng Weiwei finally found an opportunity to vent her hatred.
She walked up and slapped Gu Liancheng twice without saying a word. “B*tch, who asked you to hit me!”
She had used all her strength to slap her. Gu Liancheng’s cheek instantly swelled up and it hurt.
Gu Chilie scolded Meng Weiwei. “B*tch! I’ll kill you!”
Meng Weiwei rolled her eyes. “l used to be a high and mighty county lord. A lowly maidservant? Who are you calling the crippled person? You’re calling your daughter, right!’
“Pa-”
Meng Weiwei slapped again, and Gu Liancheng actually bled from the corner of her mouth.
Meng Weiwei’s face was filled with ferocious smugness. “If you scream again,
I’ll slap her!’
“Oh no — I can even hit you too.”
She had tolerated it long enough. She would not tolerate it anymore.
Just thinking about being able to slap the high and mighty Marshal Gu allowed her to vent.
Gu Liancheng, who had been slapped three times in a row, finally reacted. Meng Weiwei, a lowly maidservant, actually dared to attack him.
She suddenly stood up, grabbed Meng Weiwei’s hair, and smashed her face with the chain.
She was just hoarse but her hands were not crippled.
Even if she was reduced to a prisoner, how could Meng Weiwei compare to her, who had been riding on the horse all year round?
Meng Weiwei’s head was bleeding in two or three hits. She kept shouting for help, but no one came to save her. She could only resist and scratch Gu Liancheng’s face with her nails.
After a silent scream, Gu Liancheng held her bleeding face and reached out to the person outside the open-air cell.
She didn’t want to be disfigured.. Someone save her!
