After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

"I cut off your nephew's arm. Wouldn't it be more satisfying if you cut off my arm yourself?" Gu Jingheng looked at General Li indifferently, indicating that he could cut off his arm.

General Li looked at him, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

But he did not rush forward, but just clenched the knife in his hand, obviously not daring to make a decision easily.

"I am not senile yet!" General Li asserted after a moment.

Not only did he not move forward, he actually stepped back.

He had seen Gu Jingheng's skills. He was able to remain unharmed even when being heavily surrounded, and was even able to break Ning'er's arm with a single wave of his hand from mid-air.

With such skills, once he gets close to the enemy, there is a chance that he will become the enemy's hostage.

Not only does he have Nan Yuan as a hostage in his hand, he also has so many subordinates. He would be a fool to go up and confront Gu Jingheng head-on!

Gu Jingheng smiled calmly, as if he saw through General Li's doubts.

"I know what you are worried about." He said softly, then picked up the knife in his hand and stabbed it hard into the palm of his left hand.

Blood gushed out instantly, staining the handle of the knife red.

This scene shocked everyone, and General Li was also stunned.

Gu Jingheng's determination and ruthlessness were obvious. He used practical actions to prove to General Li that he was completely sincere.

"Gu Jingheng!" Nan Yuan shouted with all her might, trying to break free from General Li's restraints, but General Li's iron arms clamped her tightly, making her unable to move.

"There is still one hand." General Li said resolutely, obviously not intending to let Gu Jingheng off easily: "We originally agreed to cut off one arm, but you only injured one of them. This is not acceptable."

"You must cripple your hands, otherwise I will never fight you."

"Gu Jingheng, don't listen to him, go away!" Nan Yuan shouted loudly at Gu Jingheng, her voice full of urgency.

If this continues, both of them will die here.

Gu Jingheng held the knife tightly and pointed the handle at General Li: "I can't move my hand now, please do me a favor and give me another blow."

Gu Jingheng's lips looked extremely pale, almost losing all their blood color, which was clearly a sign of excessive blood loss.

However, even though General Lee knew this, he still did not dare to approach rashly.

"You coward! He's already so injured, and you still don't dare to fight him. It's really shameful!"

There was deep contempt in Nan Yuan's eyes. She stared straight at General Li as if she was looking at a coward.

There was no warmth in her eyes, only cold contempt.

General Li seemed a little angry under her gaze, but he smiled in an instant.

“Hahahahahaha…” He looked at Nan Yuan and said, “Little girl, you are still too naive. Provoking me won’t work.”

He didn't know what Gu Jingheng was planning, but he knew that as long as he didn't give Gu Jingheng the chance to get close to him, he would always be invincible.

"Do it yourself!" General Li looked at Gu Jingheng and let Gu Jingheng figure it out on his own. He didn't intend to take any risk at all.

"No!" Nan Yuan looked at Gu Jingheng with nervous eyes, and she signaled Gu Jingheng to leave quickly.

"They still want to take me as a hostage. They won't kill me easily. You go first!"

Nan Yuan knew that with Gu Longjing Heng's skills, no one could stop him if he left now.

She didn't want to be a burden to him, nor did she want to owe him a favor.

"Let's go!" Nan Yuan's eyes were moist, with crystal tears welling up in them.

"Are you going to leave? If you want to leave, I will definitely not stop you." There was a hint of teasing in General Li's tone, and his eyes were full of provocation and disdain.

He smiled coldly and continued, "What this little girl said is true. I really won't take her life."

General Li gently lifted Nan Yuan's chin with the tip of his knife, with a hint of evil in his eyes.

"Then let her be my niece-in-law. Ning'er lost an arm because of you, and it's not easy to find a good wife for him. Although this little girl is of humble origin, she is pretty, and she can just atone for your sin."

Gu Jingheng cut off Li Youning's arm because of Nan Yuan. If Nan Yuan falls into Li Youning's hands again, she will definitely not have a good ending.

Nan Yuan turned her head away, her eyes full of unyielding spirit: "If you are not afraid of him dying suddenly, you can give it a try."

General Li didn't say anything, just looked at Gu Jingheng.

Gu Jingheng was silent for a moment, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something.

Then, he slowly said, "I promise you."

His voice was firm and powerful, and one could feel his determination.

As soon as he finished speaking, the knife seemed to be given life and flew suddenly into the sky.

The iron knife drew a dazzling arc in the sunlight, and the sharp sound of breaking through the air echoed in the air.

"Gu Jingheng!" Nan Yuan exclaimed as if she realized something.

Gu Jingheng closed his eyes tightly, his right hand clenched into a fist, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.

The knife, with a cold light, was about to touch the ground. He suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his right hand resolutely, and let the blade fall into his palm accurately.

"Pfft-"

Blood splattered everywhere.

The tip of the knife instantly pierced into Gu Jingheng's palm, and his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gu Jingheng clenched his teeth and veins bulged on his forehead, but he never uttered a cry of pain.

Then, he used all his strength, opened his mouth, bit the knife, and slowly pulled it out.

"Zheng——"

A crisp sound of metal collision echoed in the air, and the blood-stained knife was thrown heavily to the ground by him.

Gu Jingheng opened his mouth. Although the pain came like a tide, he still endured it and asked with a trembling but firm voice: "Is this okay?"

Although the whole process was short, Gu Jingheng felt as if he had experienced a long and painful torture.

"Hahahahaha..."

General Lee laughed loudly, and the laughter echoed in the empty field with a creepy pleasure.

There was a hint of successful conspiracy in his eyes, as if everything was under his control.

He turned around and ordered a group of soldiers behind him: "Go!"

Following his order, the soldiers swarmed forward, sharp knives in hand, looking aggressive.

Gu Jingheng's hand was disabled and he had no ability to resist. Facing the soldiers' attacks, he could only dodge.

"You don't keep your word." Nan Yuan looked worriedly at Gu Jingheng, whose hands were crippled, and angrily scolded General Li.

General Li ignored Nan Yuan and just waited to see Gu Jingheng being hacked to death.

Seeing that the blade was about to fall and chop towards Gu Jingheng's body, Nan Yuan's heart tightened.

She pushed away the soldiers around her and rushed towards Gu Jingheng desperately.

Her heart was beating like thunder, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

There was only one thought in Nan Yuan's mind: she didn't want Gu Jingheng to die.

"Unbelievable!"

General Li glanced at Nan Yuan with disdain but did not stop her.

He thought he had a sure win, so naturally he didn't need Nan Yuan as a hostage, so he let her go to die.

When Gu Jingheng saw Nan Yuan escape from the restraints, his eyes instantly became sharp.

He suddenly kicked the soldier closest to him.
