Traces of sweetness blossomed on the tip of his tongue. It was the taste that he hated the most, but when GongYimo fed it to his mouth, it made him retract his aura. He was like a tiger that had been pacified, the threat disappeared in an instant.
GongYimo watched him eat the hawthorn and wanted to feed him another one. At this moment, she suddenly heard a noise from afar. The smile on her face disappeared and she looked indifferently in front of her.
She knew that this journey would not be smooth, so she decided to keep a high profile. She did not expect that there would be people who dared to take the risk of being identified by the world to ambush her. These people were probably the legendary cannon fodder, right?
The sudden appearance of a group of masked men caused the commoners to panic.
"Kill!"
They did not waste any time and wanted to rush into the crowd to kill. Their target was the commoners. If someone died, the commoners would naturally disperse and only GongYimo would be left!
At this moment, many experts dressed as commoners suddenly appeared from the crowd!
They rushed forward and fought with the masked men, protecting the commoners behind them. GongYimo wanted to join in the fight, but Gong Dai pulled her skirt.
Although he was standing beside the horse carriage like a waiter, his noble aura made it impossible to distinguish him from a commoner. Even in a crowd, he was the most eye-catching one.
Protecting his beloved in broad daylight, this feeling was really good.
"Don't worry, these are my men. They are enough to deal with those people."
As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the assassins sent by the other party were all slaughtered! Then, those people quickly dragged the corpses away. The entire process was silent, like puppets, fast and uniform.
This was obviously … Gong Dai's usual style of governance, but it was too fast! Was the other party too weak, or was Gong Dai's men too strong?
GongYimo was convinced. Seeing that most of the commoners were still panicking, she was about to say something when Gong Dai slowly walked out and stood at the front.
"Next, you will follow me."
His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, making them strangely quiet down.
Gong Dai glanced over the crowd at GongYimo. For the first time, he actually revealed a smile to the crowd.
He originally had an exquisite and devilish appearance, but usually, no one dared to look directly at his face. Now, his smile was like the melting of ice and snow. It actually stunned many people, both men and women.
That was why it was said that food and lust were part of human nature. In the face of beauty, it was as if nothing had happened. This calmed them down.
"I, Gong Dai, will escort you all to the palace gates. The journey will be dangerous, but I can handle it alone. If you don't trust me, you can retreat. If you trust me, you can go forward."
He didn't say anything inspiring, he was just using himself as an example!
He himself was the authority, the most terrifying person in the hearts of these commoners! Could it be that there was someone more terrifying than him?
Many people looked at each other and saw the eagerness in each other's eyes. That was a prince, and he was going to escort them!
For a moment, everyone was filled with lofty sentiments!
"We will escort the princess into the palace!"
"Escort the princess into the palace!"
The crowd once again became lively. The fear from before had not dissipated, but under Gong Dai's intimidation, that fear turned into determination!
The group once again moved forward. Although it wasn't as lively as before, everyone's expression was serious, as if they were completing a mission. The man at the front had a cold and calm temperament, which was the source of their courage.
Protecting the commoners and inspiring them, this was originally what GongYimo wanted to do, but Gong Dai was one step ahead of her. GongYimo looked at Gong Dai's back and smiled faintly. The wind lifted his clothes. He didn't turn back, but that straight back, proud and indifferent, actually made her feel a sense of security.
How many years had it been? This was the first time she felt that she was being protected. This feeling … actually didn't make her resist it.
Instead … she was somewhat happy.
Gong Dai had really grown up. He had grown up to be able to protect her.
But this road wasn't easy to walk. Not long after, someone blocked Gong Dai again. And this time, the number of people was obviously much more than the previous time.
In broad daylight, one side wanted to kill people, and the other side wanted to escort people into the palace. But no one dared to intervene. From this, it could be seen that the higher-ups were in a complicated and turbulent situation regarding GongYimo's return. So, most people chose to be neutral and watch from the sidelines, waiting for the situation to develop.
This time, there were assassins blocking the way. Although there were still people who were afraid, Gong Dai stood in front and didn't move. They were reassured and didn't move. There were even people who stared at the assassins in front, their eyes filled with disgust as if they were looking at a traitor.
When the people on the other side saw Gong Dai at the front, they hesitated for a moment. Even if they hadn't experienced Gong Dai's methods, they had heard of it. Especially when they saw a narrow sword in his hand, they actually shrank back!
At this time, suddenly, another group of people appeared from behind! There were quite a number of people. Gong Dai thought that they were also people who came to block the way. His eyes narrowed slightly. It was difficult for him to ensure the safety of ordinary people under a pincer attack. He didn't care, but the Royal Sister cared!
But the second group of people were afraid of being accidentally injured and shouted from afar.
"Your Highness! We are here to help on behalf of the Empress! "
"The Empress?" Gong Dai originally wanted to refuse. He didn't need anyone's help. But he glanced at GongYimo beside him. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties and make the Royal Sister unhappy, it was fine to intervene!
So, he directly put away his narrow sword and said.
"Many thanks!"
So, what was originally a confrontation between the assassins and Gong Dai suddenly became a confrontation between the assassins and the Empress's secret guards. Gong Dai was happy to be free. He led people from behind and continued forward!
Seeing that the two groups of people didn't even touch the side of GongYimo, Gong Shi felt that he couldn't wait any longer! He wanted to catch GongYimo, but if he waited for those trash to create chaos, he wouldn't be able to count on them. He might as well do it himself!
On the other side, Long Hanyan sneered, "It should have been like this long ago! Imperial Grandmother's people aren't trash. "
She looked at the people below. They couldn't even beat the Empress's people. She was really disappointed. Not to mention touching a hair of GongYimo, even Gong Dai didn't make a move! Coming out was just a disgrace!
Gong Dai also knew that the first few battles were just appetizers. The real battle was yet to come.
Seeing that the Imperial City was not far away, Gong Dai suddenly stopped. At this time, many people rushed out from all directions!
They were all full of murderous aura. Obviously, they were all elites!
Gong Dai smiled faintly. It was really a big move.
When the commoners saw so many people coming out, they were a little scared. Especially when there were countless arrows on both sides of the street! And the cold arrows were aimed at them!
