Chapter 1524
Duolong could not help but click his tongue in secret:
"My goodness, no wonder His Majesty wants to snatch this woman into the palace as a consort. If she gains favor, she will surely be another Daji or Baosi, a red-faced disaster. What if she gains imperial favor later and makes things difficult for me?"
Duolong was already considering not offending Su Quan too much for the sake of his future.
At this moment, he finally noticed Gu Hanyuan and the others.
Seeing Luo Bing, dressed as a man in a guard's uniform, was supporting the heavily injured and unconscious Wen Tailai.
Both of them had bloodstains on them.
No matter how one looked at it, they were highly suspicious.
More importantly, the handsome Gu Hanyuan, who looked like an immortal descended to earth, and the stunningly beautiful Su Quan standing together looked incomparably well-matched.
Duolong could not help but praise them in his heart as a "divine couple."
However, this also confirmed his guess.
Gu Hanyuan was Su Quan's lover, and Su Quan wanted to escape the palace for Gu Hanyuan's sake.
Both in reason and emotion, he should capture them and hand them over to Kangxi.
Duolong shouted:
"You rebels, how dare you abduct His Majesty's consort. Take them down for me!"
As expected of the Duolong from the "Deer and the Cauldron" world, he was so stupid that even Gu Hanyuan was left speechless.
In reality, one really could not blame Duolong.
Previously, in order to ensure the capture of Oboi, Kangxi had ordered Duolong to lead the Imperial Guards to guard the palace gate.
After all, Oboi's prestige was too high, and there were many people he had planted among the Imperial Guards.
Transferring the Imperial Guards away was the safest course of action.
As it turned out, Oboi died at Gu Hanyuan's hands.
Afterward, there was another great battle that destroyed half the imperial palace.
No matter what the reason, the late-arriving Duolong could not escape the crime of failing to protect the Emperor.
That was why he had rushed into the imperial palace with the Imperial Guards.
Moreover, his Wu Gong was low, and he was far away at the time, so he could not see Gu Hanyuan's figure in the sky at all.
He did not recognize that Gu Hanyuan was precisely one of the culprits who destroyed half the imperial palace.
Duolong, who was bent on making up for his crimes, naturally would not let go of the rebels in his eyes.
Not to mention Su Quan, the stunningly beautiful consort who wanted to escape the palace.
Duolong was even secretly pleased in his heart; with such a great merit, not only could he offset the crime of failing to protect the Emperor, but he might even be promoted.
Looking at Duolong's smug expression, Gu Hanyuan could see what he was thinking.
Such a stupid Imperial Guard Commander was actually more useful alive.
He glanced indifferently at the Imperial Guards rushing forward.
There were quite a few of them, numbering over a hundred.
It was just right for the "Luo Wang" to plant more people into the imperial palace.
Gu Hanyuan did not want these Imperial Guards of uneven strength to dirty his Dragon-Slaying Sword.
With a casual wave, sword Qi shot out.
Immediately, screams rose one after another.
Before long, corpses were strewn everywhere.
Su Quan's expression changed slightly.
She suddenly realized that she had been overconfident.
Feeling Gu Hanyuan's terrifying strength and the ruthlessness with which he took over a hundred lives at will from such close range.
The fear in her heart was self-evident.
For a moment, she did not even dare to reveal her identity to Gu Hanyuan.
After all, she had deceived Gu Hanyuan and even used him to kill these Imperial Guards.
At the same time, she also guessed Gu Hanyuan's identity.
After all, there was only one person in the whole world who was this young and possessed such peerless divine arts.
Especially that handsome appearance, which was even more stunning than the rumors.
Su Quan immediately had even more reason to hesitate.
The Shenlong Sect was not a righteous sect; strictly speaking, it could even be counted as one of the evil sects, and it was notorious in the Wu Lin.
There was no guarantee that Gu Hanyuan would not come to "act on behalf of heaven."
The only thing to be thankful for was Gu Hanyuan's romantic rumors in the Wu Lin.
If things became impossible, seduction would not be a bad way to survive.
However, although Su Quan was born romantic and charming, she was pure and clean inside, and she valued her chastity extremely highly.
Unless it was a last resort, she would not sacrifice her purity.
Otherwise, when Mao Dongzhu wanted to offer her to Wutian, she would not have needed to resist so desperately.
Tao Hongying was also one of those who deceived Gu Hanyuan.
With Gu Hanyuan's stance unclear, she could not help but feel some fear.
Seeing Luo Bing, on the other hand, was much calmer at this moment.
After all, she had witnessed the previous world-shaking battle with her own eyes, so this little scene was nothing.
Because those who died were Tatar guards, she even secretly cheered in her heart.
Of course, the one most terrified at this moment was Duolong, who had been left alive.
In the blink of an eye, the Imperial Guards around him were all dead.
Standing in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Duolong's face was twisted, his pupils constricted, and his whole body could not stop trembling.
Gu Hanyuan passed by him leisurely.
He left behind a faint sentence.
"Take a message to Kangxi: Gu has taken these two palace maids."
Having said that, he no longer paid attention to Duolong, who was so scared he almost wet himself, and left the imperial palace with the three women and the unconscious Wen Tailai.
Walking out of the imperial palace, the three women all felt as if they had lived through another lifetime.
Yanjing City was in chaos at this time, all due to the aftermath of the palace battle.
The three women were astonished to find that whether it was the rioters looting in the chaos or the ordinary people fleeing, they all seemed to turn a blind eye to them, or even deliberately took a detour.
Such a magical scene made them respect Gu Hanyuan like a ghost or god.
Su Quan and Tao Hongying became even more cautious.
Gu Hanyuan brought the three women back to his residence in Yanjing City.
As soon as he entered the door, a soft, delicate body threw itself into Gu Hanyuan's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
