Chapter 1272

Her pretty face flushed red as she broke free from Gu Hanyuan's embrace.

Besides shyness, there was more sweetness in her heart.

Gu Hanyuan glanced faintly at Sha Tianguang and the others who were ruining the atmosphere.

Ignoring their uneasy gazes, he walked toward Zhu Meichuo.

He smiled gently:

"Miss Ajiu, I hope you have been well."

Zhu Meichuo was already in a complex state of mind.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan ignore others in full view of everyone and specifically come to talk to her,

she was so shy that her pretty face turned red and her heart pounded.

She said softly and shyly:

"Greetings, Young Master Gu."

She was startled by her own voice, which was gentler than she had imagined.

Her gaze toward Gu Hanyuan became even more complex.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan approach Zhu Meichuo, Wen Qingqing's mood was surprisingly calm.

Having experienced being saved by Gu Hanyuan at the brink of life and death,

her heart had broadened a lot.

Perhaps she would still care about her status,

but she no longer rejected Zhu Meichuo, who would very likely become her sister.

Gu Hanyuan teased:

"Miss Ajiu, defaulting on rewards is not a good habit."

Zhu Meichuo had been somewhat conflicted.

After hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, she unexpectedly calmed down.

Her clear, beautiful eyes flickered.

She said softly:

"The reward promised to Young Master Gu will naturally not be reneged on, it just needs some time."

Zhu Meichuo spoke somewhat ambiguously.

It could even be interpreted in various ways.

Gu Hanyuan knew full well what Zhu Meichuo was thinking and could understand her concerns.

Therefore, he had no intention of forcing her.

He said with deep meaning:

"Then I shall look forward to it with all my heart."

Zhu Meichuo didn't dare to look into Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

She felt that Gu Hanyuan had already seen through her thoughts.

She was both ashamed of her own evasiveness and moved by Gu Hanyuan's understanding.

Inadvertently, her favor for Gu Hanyuan increased a bit more.

At the same time, she decided to change the reward she was going to give Gu Hanyuan.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Gu Hanyuan restrained his smile and looked at Li Kexiu with cold eyes.

He said indifferently:

"Li Kexiu, it's time to settle the account for you almost hurting Qingqing."

Upon hearing this, Li Kexiu's hair stood on end.

He didn't try to argue that he didn't know the relationship between Wen Qingqing and him.

Feeling Gu Hanyuan's killing intent, he shouted loudly:

"Hurry and stop him!"

He had already learned of Gu Hanyuan's terror from Zhang Zhaozhong.

Recalling the terrified expression on Zhang Zhaozhong's face when he mentioned Gu Hanyuan, he felt a chill down his spine.

He had even decided before coming that he would absolutely not provoke Gu Hanyuan.

Yet he had bumped into him unexpectedly.

He regretted it deeply.

He should have retreated directly after capturing Yuan Chengzhi.

Wen Qingqing was naturally sweet upon hearing this.

Not knowing what she thought of, her pretty face was full of shy blushes.

Gu Hanyuan smiled indifferently, flipped his wrist, and the green Dragon-Slaying Sword was already in his hand.

He walked toward Li Kexiu as if strolling in a garden.

Li Kexiu's Green Camp soldiers didn't have much experience.

Nor did they know Gu Hanyuan's power.

They lined up and stepped forward according to military orders.

In their view, so-called Jianghu experts were just like that.

They couldn't possibly be a match for a military formation.

The sorry state of Sha Tianguang and the others earlier confirmed this.

However, how could Sha Tianguang and the others be compared to Gu Hanyuan?

As the green divine light flashed,

the Green Camp soldiers were suddenly thrown into chaos.

Facing Gu Hanyuan, who looked like a young master out for a stroll, they couldn't stop him for even half a step.

He carved a bloody path toward Li Kexiu like a hot knife through butter.

However, Gu Hanyuan was somewhat surprised in his heart.

The combat power of the Green Camp soldiers was much stronger than he had imagined.

At the very least, they didn't collapse at the first touch like the cavalry under Zhang Zhaozhong.

Even knowing they couldn't stop him, they still fought forward as if throwing their lives away.

This was clearly the result of Li Kexiu's training.

The value of Li Kexiu and Li Yuanzhi in Gu Hanyuan's eyes increased a bit more.

After a moment of thought, Gu Hanyuan let go of the Green Camp soldiers who were throwing their lives away.

Everyone saw Gu Hanyuan's figure suddenly blur.

When they looked again, he was already in front of Li Kexiu.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand was stabbing toward the terrified Li Kexiu.

Just when everyone thought Li Kexiu was doomed,

and even Li Kexiu himself felt despair,

a crisp female voice suddenly rang out.

"No!"

A handsome deputy officer stood in front of Li Kexiu.

Although she looked tearful and extremely delicate,

her expression was quite firm.

Just as everyone was marveling at her courage and loyalty in not fearing death,

Li Kexiu shouted in even greater panic than when he was about to die:

"Yuanzhi!"

The one blocking the sword for Li Kexiu was naturally Li Yuanzhi.

Li Yuanzhi had lost her mother since she was young.

................. 0

Li Kexiu loved her dearly.

Although Li Yuanzhi was cunning and willful,

she was equally respectful and loving toward Li Kexiu. ===== CHAPTER 1274 =====
