Chapter 422: It Begins (1)
A silky sweetness blossomed from the tip of his tongue. This was clearly the taste he hated the most, but being fed to him by Gong Yimo caused the dense aura around him to fade, and like an appeased tiger, all his threat disappeared.
After watching him eat the hawthorn, Gong Yimo wanted to feed him another. But suddenly, she heard a noise from far away and she retracted the smile on her face, looking expressionlessly at that direction.
She knew that the journey would not be smooth and that was why she kept a high profile all the way. However, she didn\'t think there would be people who would dare ambush her even with the risk of being identified by the world. These are probably the legendary cannon fodders, right?
The sudden arrival of a group of masked men made the commoners panic.
"Kill them!"
Leaving no time for nonsense, they rushed straight in for the kill. Their target was the common people. Naturally, if someone died, then the commoners would disperse, and then only Gong Yimo would be left!
At that moment, a large group of experts dressed as commoners in the crowd suddenly appeared!
They rushed straight forward and met them head-on, firmly protecting the commoners behind them. Seeing the situation, Gong Yimo made her move as well, but her skirt was pulled by Gong Jue.
Though he was standing by the carriage like Xiao Si at this time, the noble air around him made it impossible to lump him together with the other commoners. Even among the crowd, he was the most eye-catching one.
It was a good feeling to be able to guard his beloved in such an open way.
"Don\'t worry, these are all my men. They\'re enough to deal with these people."
Sure enough, as he finished his sentence, the killers sent by the other side were all slaughtered! And then those people quickly dragged the corpses away. They were silent throughout the entire process as if they were just puppets. Their work was neat and tidy.
This was clearly…Gong Jue\'s usual style, but this is still too fast! Was the opponent too weak, or were Gong Jue\'s men just too strong?
Gong Yimo had to give it to him. Seeing that the commoners were still in a panic, she was just about to say something when Gong Jue stepped out and stood at the front.
"After this, all of you, come with me."
His voice wasn\'t loud, but it was passed very clearly to every one of their ears, and they had turned strangely quiet.
Gong Jue walked past the crowd and looked at Gong Yimo. Unprecedentedly, he actually revealed a smile to the crowd.
He had a delicate and charming appearance to begin with, only nobody dared to look straight at his face. But this smile felt like the first coming of spring after winter. It actually stunned a lot of the commoners, both men and women.
So, as everyone liked beauties, and with one right in front of them, everything calmed down as if nothing ever happened.
"I, Gong Jue, will escort you all to the palace gate. I alone can deal with all the dangers along the road. If you do not trust me, leave now. If you do, advance."
He wasn\'t saying anything inspiring, he just took everything upon himself!
He was the very embodiment of authority, one these commoners feared most in their hearts! Could there be anyone more terrifying than he?
Many people looked at each other, and they all saw the eagerness of the other. What man is the lord! And he offered to escort them!
For a moment, everyone felt exuberant!
"We will escort the princess!"
"Escort the princess to the palace!"
The crowd livened up once again. Though their earlier fears have yet to alleviate, the awe they received from Gong Jue\'s announcement had turned all of it into determination!
The team went forward once more. Even though it was not as lively as earlier, the crowd looked serious, as if they were accomplishing some sort of mission. And, the man at the very front with his cool and calm temperament was the source of their courage.
