Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)
Gu Jiao, who had tasted the sweetness, hadn’t had enough yet.
However, seeing that the old man really looked like he was about to collapse, she found her conscience and decided not to squeeze the old man any further.
She took out a small notebook and wrote: Shall we continue the training next time then?
Old Marquis suddenly felt his temple throbbed violently!
Next time?
There was still a next time?
Old Marquis refused from the bottom of his heart!
Gu Jiao thought for a moment before extending her two jade-like little fingers and gently pinching his sleeve, her pair of watery eyes under the mask looking at him innocently.
Old Marquis then let out a vague ‘en’.
Gu Jiao swayed her head happily.
Old Marquis watched her swaying little head up front and for some reason, he wanted to rub her head!
Of course, he held himself back.
Because he thought it was wrong to rub his own sworn brother on the head.
Somewhere nearby, Gu Chengfeng, who had followed Gu Jiao, had a panoramic view of this scene.
Others might not see through Gu Jiao’s disguise, but how could he not recognize her?
He was the one who introduced the martial arts school to Gu Jiao, and besides, he had been in cahoots with the masked Gu Jiao for many times!
By the way... Did his grandfather originally like that kind of behavior?
With his grandfather's bad temper, it shouldn’t be strange if that girl was beaten into a lump of fertilizer!
Gu Chengfeng followed Gu Jiao because he found some news about the Heavenly Music House and he intended to sell the information to this girl. He wasn’t gonna blackmail her, he would offer it with a family price of 1,000 taels!
But who would have thought that the girl would be playing with their grandfather for so long? It was probably impossible to do his business today.
Nevermind then. Anyway, he could just find her again some other time.
Gu Chengfeng went back to Marquis Ding’an Estate.
Before long, Old Marquis also came back.
He was terribly tired.
Teaching Gu Changqing had never been so tiring, because he could beat Gu Changqing with his whip at will. As for that boy... He, he was somehow unable to do it.
As a result of holding in, he suffered internal injuries.
"Grandfather!"
Gu Chengfeng suddenly came out from behind the corridor.
Old Marquis was startled. When he saw that it was Gu Chengfeng, his eyes turned cold and stern, "What are you hiding here for in the middle of the night?"
Gu Chengfeng seemed less afraid of his grandfather after seeing another side of him. He said to him with a smile, "Grandfather came back so late. I was worried about grandfather, so I waited for you here."
Old Marquis cast a suspicious look at Gu Chengfeng.
Gu Chengfeng immediately smiled brightly, "Grandfather, can you lend me your Niefeng for two days?"
Niefeng was Old Marquis’s mount, which was even more mighty than Gu Changqing's horse. Gu Chengfeng had been eyeing it for a long time, but he had never had a chance to ride it even once.
Old Marquis loved his horse like his life.
Riding his horse was like riding himself.
Old Marquis ignored Gu Chengfeng and strode to the yard.
Gu Chengfeng brandished the killing skill he had learned from Gu Jiao earlier, reaching out his two fingers and gently pinching Old Marquis’s sleeve.
Old Marquis turned around.
Gu Chengfeng looked at Old Marquis and began to act cute shamelessly.
...Old Marquis gave him a big slap in the face!
Gu Chengfeng was directly sent flying away, slamming into the pillar. He was plastered on it for a long time before slipping down to the ground.
Gu Chengfeng:“…”
What the hell went wrong?
Why was he always the one who got hurt?
It was the same little gesture. When Gu Jiao did it, it looked sweet and adorable!
But when Gu Chengfeng did it, he simply looked like a sissy in Old Marquis’s eyes!
Old Marquis was covered with goose bumps all over!
Before he knew it, he already waved his hand.
After receiving such a big slap, Gu Chengfeng was unable to take care of himself for the rest of the night. He was so miserable that he had to be carried back by the servants!
When Gu Jiao came out of the martial arts school, she saw that it was already so late and planned to go straight home.
She took a shortcut, so the route would be inevitably desolate. When she passed a quiet and deserted street, she suddenly heard a sound of metal clashing, followed by a familiar voice, "You dogs! How dare you block this grandpa’s way!"
It was Eunuch Wei's voice!
Gu Jiao's eyes immediately cooled down. She turned around, climbed the wall onto the roof, and jumped down to the other street from the roof.
Gu Jiao was still a bit far away, so she picked up her speed. However, by the time she got to the scene, Eunuch Wei was already lying in a puddle of blood.
“Eunuch Wei!” Gu Jiao stepped forward, took out the bandage and hemostatic powder she always had on her bosom and stopped the bleeding.
Eunuch Wei clutched her wrist with bloody hands, saying, "No... Don’t worry about me... Go and save His Majesty..."
Gu Jiao wrapped the bandage around his wounded abdomen with swift movements and said, "Wait for me here!"
Gu Jiao followed the direction Eunuch Wei told her and caught up with the Emperor who was being pursued by a group of assassins.
The Emperor was also injured, and the last dark guard around him was stabbed in the heart with a sword in order for him to escape.
When a man in black was about to take his head, a red tasseled spear suddenly came whistling, directly piercing his shoulder blade and nailing him to the wall!
If Gu Jiao simply found it fun back in the martial arts school, then at this moment, she really felt the might of the red tasseled spear!
Blood splashed all over the Emperor's face!
The Emperor sat down on the ground, his whole person stunned!
Gu Jiao grabbed the Emperor and said, "Let’s go!"
When another wave of men in black arrived, there was no longer the shadow of the Emperor in the alley.
Gu Jiao first hid the Emperor in a cowshed and then turned to look for Eunuch Wei, but she couldn't find him.
The Emperor was injured.
If the other party wanted to trace him, they would surely start with the medical hall.
Her mind spun, and after some thinking, Gu Jiao brought people back to Bishui Alley.
Granduncle’s courtyard no longer had empty rooms, and Xiao Liulang's room wouldn’t do. Little Jing Kong was already asleep there.
After much deliberation, only one room in the house was vacant.
Gu Jiao helped people to Grandaunt's room.
"What's the matter, JiaoJiao?" Yao shi heard some movements and came out.
Gu Jiao put the man on the bed and said to Yao shi, "Nothing, it’s a patient."
"Is there anything I can help with?" Yao shi asked.
"Boil some hot water." Gu Jiao replied.
"Alright." Yao shi went to the kitchen.
"Madame, Madame, let me do it!" Yuya'er put down the half-washed clothes in her hands and said to Yao shi, "Go and rest in the room, I'll boil the water!"
Yao shi nodded, and then looked at Grandaunt’s room with some worries.
Gu Jiao closed the door.
The Emperor was stabbed in a somewhat bad spot. It was above his thigh, just a little bit more and he would have lost his melon!
Gu Jiao lit all the candles in the room, and also used the night-luminescent pearl that Grandaunt gave Gu Yan. Then she opened her medicine chest and began to cut melons for the Emperor... Er, no, she began the surgery for the Emperor!
