First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 858 Recognition (1st update)

A man and a horse stood at the entrance of the cemetery. Gu Jiao faced the moonlight, and her entire face was exposed to the clear moonlight.

 This is a clean and vibrant face, in sharp contrast to the man's shriveled cheeks covered with dirt and blood.

He was wearing rusty armor and a rusty helmet, and his whole body was spotless and shiny except for the three-foot green blade.

His eyes were filled with boundless death, like a bottomless black abyss.

Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, even Gu Jiao felt oppressed.

 This is a man she doesn't want to fight—

 Because it is too powerful.

 But sometimes, the more you fear something, the more it will come.

Shangguan Qing once said that the ghost king does not hurt the common people who have no strength to bind a chicken. Gu Jiao has no internal strength. Under normal circumstances, no one can notice that she knows martial arts.

 But obviously, this ghost king is an exception.

His lifeless eyes burst out with a sharp murderous aura, and then his sluggish body turned around, and his sensitivity seemed to increase a hundred times in an instant!

 His hands turned into claws, and he used his internal energy to grab and swing in the air!

Gu Jiao felt an invisible big hand grab her throat, pull her up and throw her out violently!

Gu Jiao's waist hit a big tree nearby. The crow on the branch was awakened and fled from its nest with fluttering wings.

 The leaves fell with a crashing sound.

Gu Jiao fell heavily to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood!

This guy is so powerful!

No wonder Shangguan Qing wants to call him the Ghost King. With this strength... even the dark souls may not be able to take advantage of him!

 The Ghost King's eyes fell on Gu Jiao again, and he paused.

I don’t know if I’m surprised that Gu Jiao didn’t die.

 “Of course I won’t die so soon…”

Gu Jiao held on to the ground and climbed up, "If I had known that I would have to deal with such a difficult guy, I would have put on my armor..."

Neither.

The armor is too eye-catching. If you wear it, you will not be able to enter Pucheng.

 The Ghost King slapped Gu Jiao again!

After finally standing up, Gu Jiao was knocked down again, face down, like a little injured sad frog.

Gu Jiao: Let me hide for a while.

 Gu Jiao stood up like a carp, her nose bleeding, but she couldn't hide her aura: "I won't let you hit me this time!"

　　Bang!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ice!

Gu Jiao was beaten again and fell down.

Gu Jiao's face was slumped in the ground, her hands pulling at the weeds on the ground, her little body shaking violently with anger.

  Damn it... I can't escape!

Gu Jiao's whole body gradually burst out with terrible murderous aura: "Ghost King, right... You really **** me off... Prepare to receive the anger from this commander -"

 Click!

The Ghost King quickly flashed in front of Gu Jiao, grabbed Gu Jiao's collar and picked her up.

At this moment, Gu Jiao realized that the Ghost King was extremely tall.

 In front of him, Gu Jiao was literally transformed into a little chicken.

Chickboy·Jiao: "Let's talk about it. Are you missing a younger brother? I'll give Old Tang to you."

Tang Yueshan sneezed inexplicably in his sleep!

 The ghost king’s murderous intent has not diminished.

 Gu Jiao rolled her eyes and switched back to her female voice for a second: "Actually, I'm a little girl!"

 The Ghost King was stunned for a moment.

 Great, now!

 Hit your eyes!

Gu Jiao plucked **** and stabbed toward the Ghost King's death eyes!

Three seconds later, Gu Jiao looked at her **** that were swelling at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and she pursed her lips in embarrassment.

 —The Ghost King blocked it in time with his Qingfeng Sword.

Gu Jiao actually forced the Ghost King to draw his sword. Even though it was in an extremely cunning way, it also attracted the Ghost King's attention by some combination of circumstances.

The Ghost King no longer gave Gu Jiao a chance to struggle, nor did he leave any leeway. He directly raised the Qingfeng sword in his hand and stabbed Gu Jiao in the abdomen—

　　咻!

 In a matter of seconds, the Black Wind King ran over with his hooves raised, an excited cry came out of his mouth, and he knocked Gu Jiao away!

Gu Jiao was hit and fell on the tree trunk: "..."

 The Black Wind King pounced on the Ghost King.

The Ghost King's long sword was raised high, and he was about to chop off the Black Wind King's horse head, but it stopped mid-air.

The Black Wind King circled around the Ghost King, roaring excitedly, and nuzzling him with his head from time to time. At this time, it didn't look like a sixteen-year-old horse, but more like an excited pony.

Gu Jiao was lying on the trunk of the tree, looking at it with a confused expression.

what's the situation?

 Boss, you just rushed over with all your might, weren't you trying to save me?

 You bumped me away just because you thought I was in the way?

The Black Wind King circled this man who was not known to be a general or a ghost king, and circled seventeen or eight times, and the entire cemetery echoed with the sound of his eager and excited horse hooves.

 “Woo~”

There was also a hint of aggrieved sobs.

 The Ghost King's stiff body finally responded. He raised his rough hand with numerous cracks and gently landed on the Black Wind King's head.

 The Black Wind King rubbed his head against his palm.

"Little..." He opened his mouth. His vocal cords, which had not spoken for many years, had long since shrunk. The sound in his throat seemed to come from an old bellows. It was hoarse, defective, and unpleasant to hear.

"moon…"

　　小,阿,月?

 Is this the name of the Black Wind King?

The Black Wind King jumped up more and more excitedly.

 At this moment, its childhood has returned and its life is complete.

After it was finished getting excited, it suddenly became quiet. It looked at the inhuman Ghost King, as if it had finally realized something, and let out a sad cry.

 Gu Jiao lay on the tree and began to analyze the current situation.

This hilltop is the burial place of the Xuanyuan family—

She doesn't know why she came to this conclusion. In fact, based on the information currently available, it is impossible to infer this.

 “I seem to be very familiar with Ghost Mountain…”

Gu Jiao murmured to herself.

In the dream in which she foresaw her own ending, she had no interaction with Ghost Mountain. After all, the war with Liang and Jin took place nine years later. At that time...Shangguan Qing had already died of poison, right? The real King of Ghost Mountain Also dead.

　In this life, many things are different.

“But I still can’t explain why I feel familiar with the ghost mountain...I’ve obviously never been there in that dream..."

Gu Jiao couldn't figure it out, she simply didn't think about it.

 She has a secret that even she herself doesn’t understand.

Gu Jiao jumped down from the branch.

 The Ghost King suddenly raised his sword towards Gu Jiao!

The Black Wind King blocked him, and under his sharp and guarded gaze, he walked up to Gu Jiao step by step, and rubbed his head against Gu Jiao.

 This is the person it is meant to protect.

 It’s one’s own.

 The Ghost King's green-edged sword fell.

Gu Jiao came over. Since they were all one of her own, Gu Jiao was not polite.

Gu Jiao raised her little face with a bleeding nose and said in a powerful and domineering manner: "Introduction, my name is Gu Jiao, and the boss...well, that is Xiao Ayue, our comrades fighting side by side, and the new commander-in-chief of the Black Wind Cavalry."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ghost King slashed down with his sword.

Gu Jiao was simply caught off guard!

Which sentence is wrong this time? !

But those few blows she received just now were not in vain. At least she dodged this sword. It seemed that actual combat was the best shortcut to improve her strength.

 But she couldn't avoid the second sword.

The tip of the Ghost King's sword stopped an inch away from her throat. This was because the Ghost King had spared his hand, otherwise she would have become a dead soul under his sword.

 “Too…bad…power.”

 He finished speaking very slowly, put away his sword, and left with the Black Wind King.

 So you just took action to test whether I am qualified to be the commander of the Black Wind Cavalry?

 At least say hello in advance, hero.

 Nearly scared to death by you.

Gu Jiao dusted off the dirt on her clothes and stepped to follow.

 On his left is the Black Wind King, and on his right is Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you from the Xuanyuan family?"

He ignored Gu Jiao. When he didn't take action, his movements and expression were very slow, and he seemed to be struggling.

Does he think this is how dead people walk?

Without waiting for his answer, Gu Jiao was not surprised. This man had been isolated from the world for many years and had long forgotten how to communicate with others.

 But the fact that he could call out the name of the Black Wind King when he was a child means that he has not lost his memory. Of course, the brain's amnesia under normal circumstances cannot be ruled out.

 No one can remember everything they experience.

Gu Jiao turned her head and looked at her hair under the helmet.

　　means gray hair.

He is about the age of his grandparents, excluding Xuanyuan Sheng and his brothers.

 It can’t be Xuanyuan Li—

Xuanyuan Li's body was brought back for burial by An Guogong himself, so there is no doubt that it is false.

Moreover, if Xuanyuan Li is still alive, there is no reason for him not to go back and stay here as neither a human nor a ghost.

Gu Jiao followed him while looking him up and down.

 Fortunately, he didn't seem to mind Gu Jiao's scrutiny.

 Gu Jiao noticed that his breath was not stable, and he must have suffered serious internal injuries that have never recovered.

 Living is a torment for him, and he doesn’t know why he persists until now.

Is it just to protect this Xuanyuan Army’s cemetery?
