The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1507 - 733 Sibling Abuse Scum (Second Update)_3

Wang Xu said coldly, "I advise you to surrender quietly. Don’t struggle needlessly. You’re well aware of the ruler’s means. Death isn’t to be feared, the terror is in making your life worse than death!"

A hint of malice flashed in the eyes of the palace guard captain. He pounced forward, injuring one of the guards from Duwei Prefecture, snatched his long sword, and started to fight fiercely with Wang Xu and his men.

Only then did Wang Xu realize he had underestimated the other’s martial arts. His dozen or so men were powerless in the enemy’s hands.

Wang Xu engaged in combat himself, but alas, he was defeated within ten moves.

What a formidable opponent!

Since when did the palace guard captain mingle with such experts?

Wang Xu parried the other’s attack with his sword and gritted his teeth, "Who exactly are you? Who sent you to assassinate the dethroned Princess!"

The other man didn’t waste words with Wang Xu and slashed at Wang Xu’s arm with his sword.

Wang Xu fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

The man raised his long sword high and plunged it viciously toward Wang Xu’s chest!

It was a case of taking someone down even in death.

Wang Xu knew he couldn’t escape and instinctively closed his eyes.

However, the sword did not fall. An incredibly sharp sword energy, overwhelming and swift as lightning, shockingly blasted the attacker against the wall behind.

Wang Xu opened his eyes, turned his head, and saw at the mouth of the alley, under the moonlight, a man in black wielding a sword walking towards him.

Wasn’t this the expert who knocked him out with a single stick at Changsun’s side?

How did he get here? And he sent that troublesome fellow flying with just one move?

The palace guard captain clutched his chest as he got up, fiercely wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His sword lay on the ground, but he did not pick it up.

Clearly outmatched by Gu Changqing, he decided to flee.

He tapped his toes, soared to the rooftops, and gradually vanished into the night.

Wang Xu exclaimed in shock, "He’s the assassin, you must chase him!"

Gu Changqing spoke indifferently, "That guy was quite a good opponent, it would have been a pity to capture him just like that."

Wang Xu was utterly confused. What am I not comprehending here?

The palace guard director ran for a while and realizing the expert hadn’t followed, scoffed to himself, "Ha, what’s the use of having great martial arts if he still can’t keep up with me?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a stick slammed into his face, spinning him off the roof!

"Damn it—"

He cursed as he crashed to the ground, sprawling face-first.

Gu Jiao tapped her toes and landed in front of him, tapping her rolling pin in her palm and strolled over leisurely, "Fancy a fight, brother?"

The palace guard director: "..."

...

A quarter of an hour later, when Wang Xu, clutching his injured arm, arrived at the scene, the palace guard director had been beaten to the point where he couldn’t move a finger.

He looked at Wang Xu with eyes as desperate as if he had seen a savior.

Gu Jiao stood aside, looking refreshed and composed.

Gu Changqing approached and asked softly, "How is it?"

Gu Jiao replied, "Not bad, his meridians are pretty much ruined; he can’t take much beating."

Gu Changqing reflected earnestly, "Then I’ll be more careful next time."

Wang Xu was baffled. What are you two talking about? Shouldn’t the focus be on the case? What do you mean you’ll be careful next time? What exactly are you planning to do next time!

Gu Jiao had left him barely alive, perfectly capable of being interrogated.

It’s just that this guy was stubborn and wouldn’t easily open up.

"I... didn’t do anything... no one... told me to... you... give up... I don’t know anything..."

"Is that so?"

Gu Jiao looked down at him from above, took out a hallucinogen from the First Aid Kit, and injected it with a stab!
