Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was strange. Judge Wu was never someone who liked to dream, but every time he saw Gu Qingxue, he would always feel an inexplicable sense of security, as if everything this girl said would come true.
Perhaps, it was because Gu Qingxue could surprise him every time that he couldn’t help but trust her.
Clang!
Before Gu Qingxue could finish her sentence, the carriage they were in suddenly shook violently. Then, it seemed to sink deep into the ground. The horse pulled with all its might, but it was still stuck.
“How did you drive? How are we going to escape if the wheel is stuck here?” Outside the door, the guard’s dissatisfied scolding could be heard.
“What happened? Why are you making such a big fuss?” Judge Wu stretched out his hand to pull open the carriage’s curtain and asked as he looked at the people outside the door.
“My Lord!” Judge Wu’s manservant sat outside the carriage. He looked discontentedly at the coachman beside him, who had his head lowered and did not dare to make a sound. ��Just now, the coachman was driving the carriage, but he insisted on taking a detour to take this small road. In the end, the small road was muddy, and he refused to turn around, causing the wheels of the carriage to be stuck in the ground. The entire wheel has sunk in, and we can’t move even if we want to.’
The coachman was so dejected that he did not even dare to breathe. “I also saw that you two were in rush, so I wanted to take a shortcut but did not think that it would backfire.’
Gu Qingxue lifted the curtain and lowered her head to look at the wheels that were deeDlv embedded in the ground. She was also a little worried. “Looking at the condition of the wheel, I’m afraid we have to get off the car and help push it.”
Judge Wu furrowed his brows. He saw that the coachman had been hiding his left hand in his sleeve, and could not help but take a few more glances at him.
In the end, he realized that the other party looked very unfamiliar.
“What’s your name?” Judge Wu looked at the coachman in front of him with a puzzled expression and asked.
The coachman, who had been silent with his head lowered, suddenly raised his head and flashed the sharp dagger in his hand. He directly aimed at Judge Wu’s throat.
“Judge Wu!” Gu Qingxue acted quickly, grabbing him and yanking it hard.
Judge Wu awkwardly fell back into the carriage, but he also successfully dodged the dagger. The dagger swept across, but it only cut his collar and did not hurt him.
“There’s an assassin! Catch him!” Judge Wu shouted.
The coachman was extremely fast. Without waiting for the manservant and Qin Yun to make a move, he had already gotten off the carriage. Then, he immediately took out a signal flare from his chest and threw it into the air.
With a loud bang, the blood-red signal flare instantly lit up the gray winter sky. The blood-red color shocked Gu Qingxue.
It was obvious that they had been tricked!
She had thought that it was already very dangerous to encounter an assassin, but she did not expect that the other party would be so bold and really want to kill them. They even placed people in the consort’s mausoleum and secretly replaced their coachmen to deliberately bring them here!
“Damn you, who are you sending a message to?” Qin Yun’s expression suddenly darkened. She rushed out of her original spot. She closed in on the coachman, took out the short knife hidden in her sleeve, and slit his throat.
However, the coachman’s lips still had a sinister smile even before he fell to the ground in pain.
It was only then that Qin Yun managed to stand firm. A few darts shot out rapidly and headed straight in her direction..
