GongYimo's heart suddenly felt uneasy. She didn't know where this uneasiness came from and only felt flustered as she couldn't sort out her thoughts.
But what she was doing wasn't wrong right? Perhaps after coming here for a period of time, Gong Dai would realise that his way of thinking was wrong. Then when she returned, wouldn't everyone be happy?
Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, a murderous intent suddenly appeared! She subconsciously dodged, and three hidden weapons hit the rock, creating sparks!
"Who's there?!"
GongYimo turned around and realised that while she was deep in thought, she had already been surrounded!
At this moment, a feminine voice was heard, "It's not in vain that we have braved the wind and snow to wait here for half a month. The situation in the Capital is so tense but Princess is still able to maintain her composure and wait for so long. It's really admirable!"
GongYimo looked at them and gave a cold laugh, "You're all waiting for me because of the bomb in my hands. Since you know the power of it and still dare to force me, aren't you afraid?"
That masked black robed man smiled and his feminine voice had a hint of seductiveness, as if he was throwing her a coquettish glance …..
"If Princess wants to make a move, we're naturally afraid. But now that we're so close to each other, unless Princess wants to perish together, otherwise, we can only have a real fight ….. I'm sure Princess is of noble birth and wouldn't want to fight to the death with our worthless lives right?"
GongYimo's heart sank. These were all men of sacrifice so naturally they weren't afraid of death. But she couldn't die here. If she couldn't use the bomb, the other party had too many people and she might not be their match.
"Ask the person in charge to come out and talk ….."
That feminine man raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Everyone says Princess is exceptionally intelligent and it's indeed a well-deserved reputation. Young Master Li, since Princess wants to see you, you don't have to hide anymore ….."
Young Master Li? GongYimo narrowed her eyes. She finally knew who had come.
It was indeed Li Ke!
He walked out of the crowd and tore off the black veil covering his face. After not seeing him for a while, he had lost a lot of weight and his eyes had become gloomy. He no longer had the gentleness and elegance that he had in the past, nor was he in high spirits when he talked about his ideals. It could be seen that after betraying her, he had not been living well.
Seeing that it was him, GongYimo suddenly deflated and shrugged, "I've underestimated this woman, Long Xiangxiang. She actually sent so many people to guard this place for so long. I can go with you, but you have to promise me one thing."
"What conditions?"
Li Ke's voice was like sandpaper. It sounded very strange. He stared at GongYimo as if he wanted to see through her thoughts.
GongYimo smiled. "It's simple. You can retreat one mile. Of course, you can block all my exits. I just want a quiet space to have a good chat with this Mr. Li."
The feminine man smiled, "Princess, you're making things difficult for us. You're such a smart person, we don't dare to let you out of our sight."
At this moment, Li Ke suddenly said, "I can agree to it."
He took out a pill, "This is Muscle Weakening Powder. As long as you're willing to take it, I'll let them leave."
His words made the feminine man a little unhappy. After all, it was too dangerous. They were just following orders and could not go against their leader's decision. However, after thinking about it, if GongYimo really took the Muscle Weakening Powder, there was nothing to be afraid of, so he did not say anything more.
GongYimo was slightly stunned. Li Ke took a step forward and said, "Are you going to take it or not?"
GongYimo could not avoid Li Ke's intense stare. In the end, she smiled helplessly, "I'll take it!"
Seeing that she really took it, the feminine man narrowed his eyes. He wanted to go back on his words but was stopped by Li Ke!
"Jianxi, don't forget who's the one in charge!"
And you're just a sacrificial soldier!
Jianxi narrowed his gloomy eyes and looked at the indifferent GongYimo. He said coldly, "Do you know that if there's a 'what if', you won't be able to get away with it?"
Li Ke smiled coldly, "So, there's no 'what if'!"
Since he had said so, no matter how unwilling Jianxi was, he could only obey. With the order, everyone ran in eight directions, leaving them a secluded place. The snowflakes swirled in the air, making the place even quieter.
GongYimo sighed, "Li Ke, aren't you afraid?"
With a flip of her hand, a pill appeared in her hand. When she took the pill, she had actually thrown it into her space. Now, she took it out again.
Li Ke's eyes narrowed slightly, then he smiled palely, "Whatever. Whether you take it or not, there's so many of us. You can't escape."
GongYimo laughed, "There are quite a lot of people, but aren't they scattered now?"
She swept her gaze over Li Ke, and unexpectedly, there was some coldness in her eyes.
"You'd better not make a sound, because I can definitely kill you before you can give a warning!"
She thought that Li Ke would be afraid when she said that, but she did not expect Li Ke to stand there quietly. When he heard what she said, he sighed slightly and seemed to relax.
He finally smiled. This smile finally had a shadow of his old self. It was gentle and elegant, with a hint of ambition and caution.
"Whatever. Anyway, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
GongYimo raised her eyebrows curiously, but she heard him continue.
"Do you know what kind of life I'm living now?"
GongYimo said lightly, "Aren't you the one who outshines others and has power and wealth in your hands?" She always remembered that Li Ke had an older brother. He always wanted to surpass his older brother, but his family was strict. His father was afraid that the two sons would fight, so he had always supported his eldest son.
Li Ke smiled weakly. The snowflakes fell on his face, but they did not melt. It was as if his heart had long been in a cold hell.
"Since young, I've always been more outstanding than my brother … and we're both legitimate sons, but because he has the word 'eldest', my father has always supported him and supported him step by step, hoping that he would be able to support the family in the future and bring glory to the family. Hmph … with that idiot?"
He did not know martial arts and was wearing thin clothes in this weather. His voice was trembling, but it was not clear whether it was because of the cold or because of anger.
"And I … I'm ambitious and outstanding. He didn't support me, so I relied on myself. In the end, I became a scholar at the age of eleven, until I was selected as the second in the imperial examinations. It took me seven years to enter the Hanlin Academy …
But I put in so much effort, studying day and night to become an editor, but I'm only a seventh-rank official! And my brother, who is not very capable, became a fifth-rank official because of my father's support! "
"Why? We're both sons, but why is he so biased? I'm obviously ambitious, I'm obviously quick-witted! If I could exchange with him, I would definitely be able to make a name for myself and make a fortune! "
"Until I met you!"
