"So you fought with him and helped the poor scholar to snatch the embroidered ball back, didn't you?" Jun Mo smiled and continued, "Gee, I don't understand. Why do you like to poke your nose into other people's business? Are you beaten?" Then he got up and fetched some cold water to wet the towel and put it on her face.
"Hey, slow down!" Gu Chen grimaced painfully and said unsatisfactorily, "Although I was beaten a few times, he didn't take any advantage. I threw two of Hou Zongyao's front teeth, dumped them and ran back all the way!"
"Since you're so good at it, why are you still running?" Jun Mo deliberately hit her harder, so much so that she could only take in a deep breath. "If you can, then fight. If you can't win, then just run. I'm not stupid. Isn't I courting death by punching an egg against a rock?"
"Look at you! You hit him, can he let you go? You are so proud of yourself even if you have made trouble. I really doubt that you can make trouble. How can you grow so big?"
"Our place is called doing what is righteous. We are all promoting it, okay? Besides, even if I get into trouble, there will be monitor to help me..."
She suddenly stopped. Jun Mo looked up and saw her biting her lips with red eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing..." She turned her head away and stopped talking.
Jun Mo rubbed her head and said, "Are you hungry? I'll get the waiter to bring you something to eat!"
As soon as his voice fell, the door was slammed open. Several strong men stood at the door, stretched their heads and looked inside, and shouted, "Mr. Hu, it's her!"
A chubby meatball in an official uniform rolled in in a threatening manner. It placed its hands on its hips and spat saliva everywhere. "How dare you, obstinate person! How dare you commit violence in broad daylight! Guards, arrest him!"
Jun Mo frowned slightly and stepped forward to stop him. "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing? Hum, you are committing crime on the street against the government. How dare you ask me why? It is only right and proper to pay with your lives. There is nothing to say! Come on, take him away!" The meatball trembled and said.
Several local government runners bypassed Jun Mo and stood in front of Gu Chenxi. They shouted, "Are you going to walk by yourself, or do you want us to do it?"
"If you make it clear, I'll go with you. If anyone dies, why should I kill him?" Gu Chen shouted angrily.
"You had an argument with Master Hou on the street today. Master Hou died when he got home. Who else could it be but you? Stop talking nonsense. Let's go!" As she said this, she pushed Gu Chen a little.
"What evidence do you have to say that I was the one who killed him? I only gave him a few gentle punches, how could he die? Lord, did you make a mistake? He's not noodles, how could he burp after just a few pinchs? Besides..." She reached out her hand and pinched hard on her thigh, squeezing out a few drops of tears. With her voice full of tears, she said weakly, "I'm just a weak woman, how can I have the ability to kill people? Please be careful, Sir Qingtian..."
"This, this girl's face is turning ugly, isn't it? No wonder mortals always say that women change their faces as easily as flipping a book. It's just as expected!"
Jun Mo stood silently by the side. It was better to watch the show!
"Witness, what the f*ck are you talking about! It's up to me! Take him away!" Hu Jingtian's fat was trembling and he almost jumped up.
"Your honor, go back and check it again. Maybe he might be sick. It's still daytime. It's not good for your reputation..." Gu Chen cried and continued, "I did this for your honor's reputation. Your honor, it doesn't matter if I die. Your honor's reputation is more important..."
"You don't want to go, do you?" asked Sir Hu with a sneer. He gave the runner beside him a signal and the latter raised his knife and placed it on Jun Mo's neck.
"What, what do you want to do?" Gu Chenxi stopped screaming. It seemed that he had no choice but to play it by ear since he had met someone who refused to yield to the carrot and stick.
"b***h, if you don't let me go, I won't let you go either! Are you going to leave on your own or make a decision after I kill you, the gigolo boy?" As he said this, he winked again.
The runner loosened his knife and saw a red mark on Jun Mo's neck.
"Your honor, are you going to hold me hostage?" Gu Chenxi clenched his hands tightly and couldn't wait to beat him to death.
"Hehe, I'm not going to hold you hostage. If you arrest him, I'll immediately take his life and bury him with my brother-in-law!" Lord Hu sneered. "Think it over. Which one can escape or die? I know you have some tricks. You can also have a try. It's your hand or my subordinate's knife!"
"Let him go, I'll go by myself!" She wiped her eyes that were not wet. Unfortunately, she had cried for nothing just now.
Walking to Jun Mo's side, she stopped and said in a low voice, "Wait for me here!" Then she left with the local government runners.
Hu Jing had no son. He and his wife treated his brother-in-law as if he were their own child. Hou Yaozong was arrogant and domineering outside and robbed ordinary women, but he always turned a blind eye to them. As long as he didn't kill anyone, he would let him do whatever he wanted. He didn't expect that he would be beaten to death this time! His wife cried her heart out in the mansion and insisted on dissecting the murderer. He angrily asked people to take Gu Chenxi to prison. He didn't need to go to the hall, and he would directly hold the door of the vegetable market to punish her when it was dawn.
This was Gu Chen's first time seeing an ancient prison. She couldn't help sighing that the environment was also a bit bad. It was not bad that it was dark and damp everywhere, but the smell of urine could choke people to death!
"Well, ahem, the environment is bad. Can we get another one?" Gu Chenxi covered his nose and said with a frown.
"Humph, you're all going to die. How can you be so particular? When you get there, ask Yama to change it for you! Get in!" The jailer pushed her into the cell and locked her with a crash.
A dim oil lamp was hung on the walls on both sides of the cell. The flame flickered between bright and quiet, giving rise to a strange feeling. As soon as the jailor went out, there was a rustling in the cell. She looked at the direction of the sound and saw two people in the opposite cell. They were the lady who threw embroidered balls in the daytime and the scholar who got embroidered balls.
"Why, why are you here?" Gu Chenxi was surprised and asked.
Neither of them spoke, but just stared at Gu Chenxi with a strange smile.
"You, you..."
"Did Jun Mo not come?" The young lady looked behind her and asked with a smile.
"What are you talking about? Do you know Jun Mo?" Gu Chenxi only realized that something was wrong at this moment. Ordinary people who had been locked in the death cell cried and shouted, but she did not have any fear at all. Instead, she laughed. There must be something wrong.
"Of course I know him. You, I'm the first time to see him. He's just a mortal with a vulgar and ugly look. I don't know what Jun Mo wants from you. Sister Yuji, what do you think?" She looked back at the scholar and said with a smile, "By the way, I forgot that you have an important thing on you..." The lady walked over to Gu Chenxi as she spoke.
Gu Chenxi's eyes widened as he watched the two of them passing over the railing and walking towards him.
"You, aren't you human beings?" Gu Chenxi felt that all the blood in her body was almost solidified. She secretly grasped the Disillusioned Soul Whip at her waist and stared at them with burning eyes.
###Chapter8,The Death of the Ninth Princess
The two of them revealed their true bodies. The mistress wore a long golden fishtail dress. Her appearance did not change much, except that her pale face was covered with red meridians. Each of them was interweaving. It was terrifying, and there were two short dragon horns growing on her forehead.
Behind her stood Yu Ji, dressed in a black robe. Her eyes were like fire and her face was gloomy. From time to time, she stuck out her tongue and licked her cracked lips. Her face seemed to be real, but sometimes it was not. Sometimes it was male and sometimes it was female.
"Ninth Princess, although she is ugly, she is a treasure. If you can get her Heart Aperture, not only can you improve your cultivation, but also you can succeed in getting her Heart Aperture. In this way, not only can you cure your face, but also you can get Jun Mo's heart!" Yu Ji said in a strange tone.
Gu Chen was shocked. He took a step back, pointed at Concubine Yu and said, "Did you plot against us last time?"
"Ha, ha, ha. Last time, Jun Mo didn't succeed. Let's see who else can save you this time!" Yu Ji narrowed her eyes and stretched out her hands toward Gu Chenxi.
"Yuji likes Jun Mo!" Gu Chen was so angry that he sank into his Dantian. He closed his eyes and shouted loudly.
Pa!
As expected, before Yu Ji stretched her hand in front of her, it was taken off by the Ninth Princess. "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Ninth Princess, she's talking nonsense, she..." Yu Ji looked upset. Why was this girl so difficult to deal with? The Ninth Princess was the most jealous. She wanted to kill anyone who liked Jun Mo one by one. How many more troubles would she have to deal with!
"Shut up and let her speak!" Yu Ji was interrupted by the Ninth Princess before she could finish speaking.
"Yu Ji likes Jun Mo. She cheated you to kill me! She wanted Jun Mo to think that you are a vicious woman! You think, you are the ninth princess, second only to her. How can you go against an ordinary mortal like me? If you do that, you will lose your status." Gu Chenxi secretly observed the ninth princess' expression. Seeing that she was pleased, he knew that he was right. He quickly flattered her and continued, "I am just a little mortal. It's easier for her to kill me than pinching an ant. Why should I bother you to do that? Think about it, think about it..."
"Gu Chenxi, don't slander me!" Yu Ji's eyes were red and she wanted to tear her into halves.
"Tut, tut, princess, you must have seen it. If she had no ulterior motives, why would she be so angry?" Gu Chenxi flashed behind the ninth princess and hid, saying to Yu Ji.
The Ninth Princess turned to Yu Ji and said with a sneer, "I knew it. I was not even ready to break the shell, yet you managed to get me out of the egg with your skills. You made me look like a ghost! Did you secretly fall in love with Jun Mo and deliberately hurt me?"
