Gong Che's expression was cold. With a wave of his hand, everyone retreated. Only he stepped forward and spoke solemnly.
"It was my fault for visiting so suddenly. Someone tried to assassinate me and I brought men to pursue him. Someone saw him enter Qi Manor …"
Gong Dai raised his eyebrows slightly.
He scrutinized Gong Che for a moment before beckoning with his finger. Someone stepped forward to await his orders.
"Deqing, where is the little rat that snuck into the manor?"
Gong Dai's ear-piercing voice sounded even stranger in the night. Deqing was the steward of Qi Manor and he respectfully replied.
"Reporting to Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince, an assassin broke into the manor just now. His martial arts were not bad and his qinggong was nimble. Seeing that he had stolen something and was about to leave, this servant had no choice but to issue a kill order. He has already been shot to death by a flurry of arrows. His body is in the rear courtyard and will be buried tomorrow morning."
At that moment, almost everyone heard the sound of something breaking.
Gong Che stared in disbelief at the steward who had just spoken. Under the flickering light of the torches, his face was completely drained of color!
"Dead …?"
Gong Che's voice was almost inaudible …
This was simply a joke. How could Mo 'er die? How could she die?
Gong Che wanted to laugh but he could not. In this life, Mo 'er's martial arts were far from the unrivalled level of her previous life. Furthermore, Gong Dai had recruited many strange people. Mo' er might not be a match for them …
But was that possible?
If Mo 'er really died …
If she died for him!
A metallic taste flowed out from his throat. Gong Che suddenly forced his way into Qi Manor!
His leg was injured and he could not exert any strength. However, his eyes were terrifyingly red! Under his oppressive aura, no one dared to block him!
Gong Dai also discovered that Gong Che's situation was somewhat strange. He gave Deqing a look and Deqing automatically led Gong Che to the rear courtyard.
It seemed that the person who had died was not an assassin but a very important person to the Crown Prince.
His death would not cause the Crown Prince and the Prince to turn against each other, right? Deqing thought with lingering fear.
Gong Dai also felt that it was very strange. All along, he had been very suspicious of Gong Che's motives. He didn't want anything, only the Water Cloud Grass and freedom. For these, he was willing to be his shield and promised to give up everything after the matter was done.
To be honest, only a saint would be willing to give so much without asking for anything in return.
However, Gong Dai was not afraid. No matter what Gong Che planned to do in the end, he believed that he would definitely be the final winner.
But now, Gong Che actually revealed such an expression because of an Assassin. It was as if the sky had collapsed! This was really strange. Wasn't Gong Che always gentle and amiable? In the past, it was to preserve the Crown Prince's bearing. Now, even if Mount Tai collapsed, his expression would not change.
Who was that person that could make him lose his composure like this …
Gong Che had never walked such a long road before. From the front door to the backyard, he limped along, his eyes staring straight ahead. However, the road seemed to have no end. It was pitch-black and extended to the deepest abyss.
In his bewitched state, he had already thought it through.
If Mo 'er really died …
He would kill his enemy and then die with her.
He didn't cross time and space to obtain his beloved and then lose her. That kind of person's life had no meaning.
However, he also hoped that the one who died wasn't her. She wasn't so weak. She would never disappoint people.
Soon, he arrived at the backyard. In the middle of the yard, there was a petite corpse wrapped in a straw mat. His pupils shrank and he actually didn't dare to go forward.
Deqing glanced at Gong Che's frightening expression and was slightly shocked. He deliberated over his words and said softly.
"Your Highness, this is the Assassin who forced his way in. Because he was shot to death by arrows, his death was terrifying. Your Highness, it's best if you don't go forward …"
However, before he could finish, Gong Che slowly walked to the corpse. He squatted down and reached out with a trembling hand, wanting to lift the mat.
At this time, Gong Dai had unknowingly followed up and asked coldly.
"Imperial Brother … if this person is really the one you're looking for, what will you do?"
His expression was rather solemn because Gong Che's current appearance was too abnormal. That man who was emitting a sad and ruthless aura was completely different from his usual gentleness. It was as if … he was a completely different person.
When the half-kneeling Gong Che heard this, his back straightened and his fingers paused.
It was unknown if it was because he was extremely tense, but he actually smiled.
Without turning his head, he only said four words, "I won't rest until death."
If Mo 'er died, so what if the opponent was Gong Dai? Those who hurt her deserved to die. Only death could appease his pain!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air because they had never thought that one day, they would hear the words "I won't rest until death" from the modest Crown Prince's mouth!
The fog in the night was heavy and the cold condensed, making it difficult to breathe.
Everyone was silent. Just as Gong Che was about to uncover the straw mat again, Gong Dai suddenly sneered.
"Forget it, you don't need to uncover it. This Prince can guarantee that the person who died is not the one you're looking for."
Gong Dai's words were like a ray of light, making Gong Che feel like he had come back from the jaws of death!
He quickly turned his head and stared at him!
"What makes you say that?"
Gong Dai revealed a faint smile.
"The only person who can make you like this, I think it's that … wife who made you want to run away with her, right? The one who died is a man. "
Gong Che was shocked and his hand quickly lifted the mat. The corpse was horrifying, but it was really a man!
Gong Che was so overjoyed that he forgot everything! He did not realize that Gong Dai had already noticed GongYimo. He was filled with joy, as if he had been reborn again!
Mo 'er was still alive! She was still alive!
Gong Che stood up and prepared to go somewhere else to find Mo 'er. The moment he passed, Gong Dai suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm tightly.
Under the weak light of the torch, the two equally handsome people stood together. Their gazes almost made sparks fly!
"Is she the reason? Is she the reason why you selflessly helped this Prince? "
Gong Dai lowered his voice and asked. His expression seemed to be very interested in GongYimo!
Gong Che reached out and pried Gong Dai's fingers apart.
"I can touch anything, but she is my bottom line."
Since he had already been discovered, Gong Che did not need to hide anymore. He seriously looked at Gong Dai with a complicated look that others could not understand.
"This Prince knows that you never understood why this Prince helped you. Now you know? It's because she wants freedom. She likes the jianghu. Then I need a healthy body to go with her! You want the country, so I'll help you. Because compared to her, the country is worthless! "
Those powerful words made Gong Dai's heart tremble! Men were born in this world, so it should be their innate ability to make a name for themselves!
But Gong Che, for a woman, he did not even care about the country?
Interesting, he was becoming more and more curious about that woman.
