Gu Zichen flipped his wrist and flicked the blade with a crisp explosive force.
He instantly let go, and the bandit holding the blade also took two steps back.
Gu Zichen quickly protected Gu Nuo’er and retreated. He hugged his sister’s small body tightly.
At this moment, Gu Zichen gritted his teeth and stared warily at the bandit who was slowly approaching.
“Nuo’er, Brother really regrets it now.”
“Oh? What does Fifth Brother regret?”
Could it be that he regretted doing something wrong?
“I regret not practicing martial arts properly. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be able to protect you with ease now?”
After Gu Zichen finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Sister, hold onto me well.”
Gu Nuo’er tilted her head, her eyes wide like a pair of black grapes. “What does Fifth Brother want to do?”
Gu Zichen raised his eyebrows. “Divert the trouble.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the cabin where they were having a meal earlier.
At this moment, the drug in the wine Hang Tongfu drank had probably taken effect.
When Gu Zichen rushed in with Gu Nuo’er in his arms, Hang Tongfu was lying on the table. He looked like he was drunk, but he was forcing himself to stay awake.
The musician that Wang Fu had found was leaning on Hang Tongfu’s shoulder with her shoulders half exposed.
“Lord Hang, have another drink with me~”
The sound of Gu Zichen rushing in was a little loud. The bandits behind them also chased after them with their blades.
When Wang Fu saw this situation, he thought that Gu Zichen had brought people to cause trouble!
He immediately berated loudly, “Your Highness, what are you doing in broad daylight? The capital isn’t a place without laws. Please bring your people out!”
Gu Zichen carried Gu Nuo’er and retreated to the furthest corner, still looking at these bandits warily.
He said to Fu Wang, “How many servants did Lord Wang bring on this trip?”
Wang Fu thought that the fifth prince was provoking him and chuckled. “This subject and Lord Hang are just friends having a small gathering. Why would I bring my servants here? I don’t want Lord Hang to think that this subject isn’t sincere in making friends.”
Gu Zichen clicked his tongue. “Then this won’t be easy.”
Wang Fu was furious. “Your Highness, please stop fooling around and bring them o…”
Before he could finish the word “out”, the criminals waved their blades and slashed at everyone present.
Gu Zichen protected Gu Nuo’er and dodged step by step. He frowned and said, “Every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. Go get whoever you came for. Why are you bullying unrelated people?”
Unexpectedly, the burly man in the lead said, “You’ll be heavily rewarded for assassinating the fifth prince!”
Gu Nuo’er said in a childish voice, “Oh! Fifth Brother, they’re coming for you!”
Gu Zichen was stunned for a moment before changing his words. “Then it’s better for us to share our blessings and difficulties together!”
When Wang Fu saw these blades swinging over, he was so shocked that he shouted—
“Who are you guys? How dare you be so lawless in broad daylight!”
The musician Shuangzhu was so frightened that she ran everywhere. They were kicked to the ground by a bandit and probably fainted, not moving for a long time.
The bandit said fiercely, “Don’t waste your breath on them. Brothers, don’t leave anyone survivors today!”
Immediately, the bandits rushed over from all directions, screaming one after another. The scene was extremely chaotic.
They came prepared and the people chosen were all martial arts practitioners.
Gu Zichen quickly lost to the encirclement.
He gritted his teeth and endured it. His thoughts raced as he searched for a way to help Gu Nuo’er survive.
At this moment, the child pointed in Hang Tongfu’s direction. “Fifth Brother, Uncle Hang is going to get hurt!”
Gu Zichen took the wine cup from the table in front of him and threw it out like a hidden weapon!
With a clank, the criminal who was slashing at Hang Tongfu had his blade hit. The blade deviated and hit the table.
