Chapter Eighty-Three: Grow old alone? ???
As the carriage was shot to pieces by arrows, Gu Qingheng and Tang Lian leaped out of the carriage and quickly dodged towards an open space nearby.
However, the coachman was not so lucky and died along with the exploding carriage.
This made Gu Qingheng frown, wondering which scoundrel dared to attack the Gu family’s carriage.
Given the Gu family’s reputation, no one in the capital would dare to offend them.
After all, with his elder sister’s position as Great General, she was much stronger than his father, the Vice General. Coupled with the position of Martial Arts Alliance Leader obtained through coercion and temptation by his brother-in-law, it made many martial artists afraid to touch anyone from the Gu family.
Yet, now someone had directly attacked them with murderous intent.
This situation made Gu Qingheng instinctively feel that today was not a good day and that he had to strike first.
Fortunately, a few days ago, when he was feeling down and counting his medicinal powders, Gu Qingheng had taken a few packets…
Later, he would show them the power of his brother-in-law’s medicinal powder, which would surely be extremely unpleasant.
“Brother Qingheng, these people are here for me. If the situation turns bad later, you must leave here quickly!”
Just as Gu Qingheng was itching to try his luck, Tang Lian said seriously, not wanting Gu Qingheng to have any accident here.
Unlike Gu Qingheng, who stayed in the Gu family to study and practice martial arts, Tang Lian had experienced countless dangers in recent years.
This had also given her a premonition of danger, which had saved her many times before… This time was no exception.
To arrange archers to lie in wait without them noticing, and then use sound to create a diversion!
Based on this alone, the other party must have deployed many hidden tricks, waiting for her, the prey, to appear.
Thinking of this, Tang Lian secretly clenched the hidden weapons in her hand, never expecting that her sweet date with Brother Qingheng would be ruined by these people.
After the carriage was blown to pieces, they couldn’t go to admire the osmanthus flowers either.
They could only return home.
Ahhh, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Was it easy for her to come to the capital?
These bad guys not only engaged in arson, murder, and looting, but they also had to ruin her date with Brother Qingheng.
Did they want her to remain unmarried and grow old alone for a lifetime???
Truly malicious revenge.
Unlike her usual calm demeanor, although Tang Lian had become more mature in appearance, perhaps because she was getting older, she started to think about many things.
Her complaints also increased.
The most important thing on Tang Lian’s mind now was to marry Gu Qingheng quickly and become a member of the Gu family.
Therefore, after being obstructed, Tang Lian’s killing intent was released.
Her dark eyes were gloomy, and her long hair fluttered behind her, as if a dark mist appeared behind Tang Lian.
Such dense killing intent made Gu Qingheng shiver, feeling like a little white rabbit in the mountains encountering a fierce tiger…
“Sister Lian’, don’t be impulsive. There are too many of them. We can’t let them have their way!”
After Gu Qingheng quickly adapted to Tang Lian’s killing intent, he immediately reached out and grabbed Tang Lian’s arm. As he spoke quickly, he took out a packet of medicinal powder with his other hand.
When Tang Lian saw the medicinal powder, due to their past life together, she immediately understood Gu Qingheng’s intention.
Tang Lian was well aware of the medicinal powders that Gu Yu concocted, all of which were very effective.
Although they were not as deadly as poison that would seal your fate upon contact, they could instantly cause one to lose consciousness, be unable to move, or even suffer from diarrhea, truly making one marvel at their potency.
Tang Lian didn’t expect Gu Qingheng to carry medicinal powder when he went out, but it came in handy at this moment. She thought that the hidden weapons she carried would be enough to cooperate with the medicinal powder to attack the enemies.
Moreover, there was no danger.
Ah, her Brother Qingheng was indeed amazing, he had even anticipated that he might encounter an accident when he went out. He was so handsome!
At this moment, Tang Lian, who was full of admiration, never expected that the medicinal powder Gu Qingheng had was merely a way for him to vent his frustration at Gu Yu for not taking him on the trip, and in his depressed mood, he counted the powders to relieve his anger.
As a result, it was now being put to use.
“I have other medicinal powders here for a second plan, in case one packet is not enough. Sister Lian’, you must be careful not to be discovered by them!”
“Don’t worry! Brother Qingheng, the medicinal powder you brought has already been a great help. Now, just watch my performance here!”
After hearing Gu Qingheng’s worried words, Tang Lian couldn’t help but smile slightly. Then, as she took the packet of medicinal powder, she put on her veil again.
Although Tang Lian needed to increase her reputation, it did not mean that she wanted to expose her appearance, which would increase the chance of encountering danger in the future… For her, who wanted to become Gu Qingheng’s wife, this was a complete hindrance!
As for confirming her identity, with the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect as evidence, Tang Lian directly left the words “White Rakshasa” on her weapon, which was enough to prove her identity.
Therefore, the veil on her face would never be taken off, no matter what.
Once she became an Elder of the Tang Sect, this veil would no longer be necessary.
Thinking of this, Tang Lian quickly prepared the hidden weapons she was about to use. As she was about to act, she turned her head and gave Gu Qingheng a look of reassurance.
After that, Tang Lian immediately charged out quickly.
This made Gu Qingheng stare intently with worry, ready to rush out and save her if Tang Lian was in danger!
Although Gu Qingheng also wanted to deal with those bad guys together, he knew that his martial arts skills, compared to Tang Lian, might drag her down.
It was better to stay here and be ready to rescue her at any time, which would make Tang Lian safer.
Besides, even if Tang Lian didn’t say it, Gu Qingheng had realized that Tang Lian did not want to reveal her identity.
Although he didn’t know why, if Tang Lian wished it so, then he could not interfere!
Next, he would have to see the combined effect of the medicinal powder and hidden weapons…
As Gu Qingheng pondered these things, Tang Lian’s movements were very fast. The hidden weapons in her hands were fired continuously, and in a short time, there were no repeated patterns.
The essence of the Tang Sect’s hidden weapons, under Tang Lian’s powerful gesture, was actually enhanced by a full thirty percent in power.
However, coupled with Gu Yu’s medicinal powder, it made the hidden weapons even more dangerous.
Because Gu Qingheng personally witnessed Tang Lian using hidden weapons to take down more than thirty big men… without exerting her full strength, she appeared to be at ease.
This also scared the other big men who were not hit by the hidden weapons. Their faces showed panic, and they shouted the words ‘White Rakshasa’ while quickly fleeing in the direction they came from.
They looked like they wished their legs could run faster, which left Gu Qingheng dumbfounded. He never expected things to end so quickly.
It was a completely one-sided affair!
