Suddenly!

Gu Ziliang heard rustling footsteps behind him.

He frowned and stood still to look back.

Behind the extremely narrow alley, a few burly men had followed behind them one after another.

They all had murderous expressions.

They were slowly walking towards Gu Ziliang.

Gu Ziliang frowned and wanted to leave the alley quickly, carrying Gu Nuo’er with him.

Unexpectedly, the way out ahead was also blocked by eight to nine burly men.

Gu Nuo’er blinked her beautiful watery eyes.

“Tenth Brother, have we been outflanked?”

Gu Ziliang immediately hugged Gu Nuo’er tightly with both arms.

He stared at the person in front of him and scolded, “This path is too narrow. If you don’t want to make things difficult for us, please make way!

“My sister is young and can’t take shocks.”

When the burly men heard this, the person in the lead smiled coldly.

“Unfortunately, we’re here for Princess Yaoguang. Tenth Prince, if you hand Her Highness over to us, you’ll be able to avoid getting injured. We advise you to be sensible.”

Gu Ziliang’s frown deepened.

These people were actually here to s.n.a.t.c.h his sister.

At this moment, he was filled with regret that he had chosen a remote narrow alley.

Even if he shouted for help, the officials patrolling nearby wouldn’t be able to hear him.

Gu Ziliang couldn’t help but lower his right hand and quietly lower his sleeve.

Since the soft approach didn’t work, he could only fight them head-on.

Gu Nuo’er’s expression remained innocent and obedient.

It was as if she wasn’t afraid at all.

She lowered her head and counted with her pinky, mumbling something.

She counted until she reached the last fingertip.

“Oh, it’s a great blessing!”

It seemed that this group of people could not hurt her in the end and could still help her.

Gu Nuo’er immediately became even more relaxed and placed her hands on her hips.

She said like a young mistress, “Since everyone is already here, let’s go sit down and have tea together before talking about serious matters!”

The burly men were dumbfounded.

They frowned and looked at each other, feeling puzzled.

Did she hear wrongly?

Not only was this little princess not afraid, but she also wanted to treat them to tea?

At this moment, a strange whistle-like sound came from somewhere.

The burly men immediately perked up and took it seriously.

Before they came, Governor Wei had warned them.

This Princess Yaoguang from Great Qi might be young, but she was resourceful and very smart.

They had to be careful not to be plotted against by her.

The burly man in the lead saw that Gu Ziliang was protecting the child very tightly.

He knew that if they didn’t make a move today, it was impossible for him to take the princess away.

Therefore, he raised his hand. “s.n.a.t.c.h!”

When the other accomplices heard this, they swarmed forward.

However, the moment they approached Gu Ziliang!

“Sister, cover your mouth and nose.”

The child quickly did as she was told.

Her big eyes flickered.

The tenth prince waved his right sleeve, and countless amount of powder flew out from his palm.

The burly men at close range all inhaled it.

They hurriedly wiped their faces and retreated.

However, many people had already started coughing because of this.

Soon, their necks began to swell as if it was difficult for them to breathe. Their eyeb.a.l.l.s suddenly protruded.

The burly man in the lead had been in the pugilistic world for many years and was experienced. His expression immediately changed.

“This is bad. It’s the blood-devouring powder from the outer realm.”

It was said that there was a powder that the outer realm’s imperial family had that was not to be spread to outsiders.

It was grinded from buddha flowers, bone powder, and other materials.

Once it was inhaled, they would get into one’s bloodstream.

It would only lose its effect when a person died and their blood stopped flowing, turning into a corpse.

When the surrounding people heard this, they were so frightened that they took a step back.

They stared at Gu Ziliang in horror and seriousness.
