Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingxue walked along the dry grass and into a small forest on the side.
It was the dead of winter, and the branches of the small forest were bare. The ground was covered in a thin layer of snow, and when one stepped on it, it made a squeaking sound, which gradually calmed Gu Qingxue’s heart.
She hid her hand in her sleeve for warmth. Gu Qingxue looked up at the sky and opened her mouth to spit out a white mist.
With so many thoughts in her mind, Gu Qingxue’s first thought was still her three little ones.
Her little ones’ reluctance to part today was still fresh in her mind. Gu Qingxue could only force herself not to think too much. Otherwise, she was worried that she would lose control and want to return to the capital.
Gu Qingxue took a few deep breaths of the cold air. When she felt that her headache was no longer as bad, she turned around, intending to go back. However, Gu Qingxue had only taken two steps when she noticed something unusual.
In the dark night, her footsteps were particularly clear.
The sound of her footsteps earlier was clearly not so obvious, but now, even the subtle movement of her stepping on the snow could be clearly heard.
The sounds of birds and beasts in the entire forest had completely disappeared. In their place was a dangerous and somber atmosphere.
Gu Qingxue’s heart suddenly tensed up. She looked around vigilantly and could vaguely see a few figures moving quietly in the night.
Gu Qingxue’s expression suddenly turned serious. She immediately tightened her grip on the sharp dagger hidden in her sleeve and looked around vigilantly. “Since you’re already here, there’s no need to continue being mysterious. Why don’t you come out?”
As soon as Gu Qingxue finished speaking, a tew assassins with sharp blades in their hands quickened their pace and rushed out. They were all dressed in black and did not make a sound as they walked, showing that they were all extraordinary.
Gu Qingxue roughly looked around and saw that there were at least ten people present. If they attacked in a group, even she would not be able to withstand it.
Gu Qingxue tightened her grip on the sharp dagger in her hand. She watched as the assassins formed a circle around her and slowly approached her.
‘Gu Qingxue, don’t try to resist. Be obedient and wait for your execution.” The leader of the men in black, a middle-aged man, had his face covered, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes. He glared at Gu Qingxue in anger.
Gu Qingxue seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and the coldness in her eyes grew even more intense. “I’ll return your words to you. I don’t know who your master is, but that person is too impatient. I’ve only just started my investigation, and he already can’t hold back. It’s clear that there was something wrong with my father’s death.”
Gu Qingxue did not feel any fear when she saw the group of men in Black appear. She only felt that it was ridiculous!
Initially, she had not been absolutely sure that her father had been killed by someone.
However, at this moment, she had absolute confidence.
If there was something fishy about her father’s death that year, these people would not have sent themselves to her door so impatiently when she had just started investigating!
It seemed that the culprit was worried that she would find some clues, so he couldn’t wait to kill her!
The leading middle-aged man sneered and ordered without mercy, “This woman is just trying to stall for time. Don’t give her a chance. Kill her immediately! ”
“Yes!” As soon as he finished speaking, the assassins swarmed out and headed straight for Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue did not think that her little scheme would be seen through so quickly. She clenched the sharp dagger in her hand tightly, and she charged straight at the group of assassins..
