Mortal Cultivation: Beginning with a Monkey Falling from the Sky

Gu Jiuchen's heart sank. The appearance of the prime minister undoubtedly cast a shadow on their escape. He is well aware of the Prime Minister's power and methods, and I am afraid things will not go well today. Ye Linglong held Gu Jiuchen's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry, but she understood that this was not the time to be weak. Only by trusting Gu Jiuchen could she find a glimmer of hope.

Facing the aggressive Prime Minister, Mo Wuhen argued with reason: "Prime Minister, there are still doubts about this matter, so please investigate! They are not assassins, but..."

"Lord Mo!" The Prime Minister interrupted him sharply, "Are you questioning me? Come here, take down Mo Wuhen and interrogate him severely to see who gave him the courage to protect the assassin! "

The guards did not dare to disobey the Prime Minister's order and immediately stepped forward to subdue Mo Wuhen. Mo Wuhen knew full well that the Prime Minister wanted to kill people and silence them, but he did not regret his choice because he believed in the innocence of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.

Gu Jiuchen, who was surrounded by guards, was alert to the movements around him and whispered to Ye Linglong: "Linglong, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

Ye Linglong held Gu Jiuchen's hand with her backhand and said firmly: "Jiuchen, I believe you!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of trust and love. Even if they were in danger, they could not stop the emotion between them.

Just when the guards were about to arrest Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Several men in black appeared like ghosts. They were agile and fierce, and they tore a hole in the encirclement in an instant.

"Who?!" The Prime Minister was shocked. He didn't expect that someone would dare to do something in the inner courtyard of the palace.

.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were also stunned. They didn't know whether these men in black were enemies or friends.

In the chaos, a man in black came to Gu Jiuchen and whispered: "Gu Shaoxia, my master has an order, please come with me!"

Although Gu Jiuchen was confused, he still chose to believe the person in front of him. He took Ye Linglong's hand and followed the man in black out of the encirclement. Seeing the cooked duck fly away, the Prime Minister shouted angrily: "Chase! Chase me! We must not let them escape!"

The guards received the order and chased away. However, these men in black were obviously well prepared. They took advantage of the terrain, cleverly set up obstacles, successfully blocked the guards' pursuit, and disappeared into the night with Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.

After escaping from the palace, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were taken to a secret house. The man in black has been waiting for a long time. "

Gu Jiuchen took a closer look and found that the person in front of him turned out to be Mo Wuhen's trusted guard. He immediately understood that all this was secretly arranged by Mo Wuhen.

"Where is Mr. Mo?" Ye Linglong asked anxiously.

"My lord is temporarily detained by the Prime Minister, but please don't worry, your lord has made arrangements and will be able to escape tomorrow." The guard replied.

"Thank you!" Gu Jiuchen said gratefully. He knew that Mo Wuhen took a lot of risks to save them.

"Young Master Gu, you don't have to be polite. My lord has said that as long as I can help you two, I will do anything to help you, no matter how hard it is!" the guard said, cupping his fists.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong rested in the house for a night to recharge their batteries.

. They know that the Prime Minister will not give up and greater challenges are yet to come.

Early the next morning, Gu Jiuchen asked the guards where Ye Linglong was being held. The guard told him that Ye Linglong was imprisoned in a secret manor outside the city, which was heavily guarded and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

After hearing this, Gu Jiuchen frowned. He knew that if he wanted to rescue Ye Linglong, he had to make a careful plan. He carefully observed the map brought by the guard, constantly deducing various possibilities in his mind...

Gu Jiuchen stared at the map and quickly constructed the layout of the manor in his mind. Every corner and passage clearly emerged in his mind. He pointed to a dense forest on the map and said to the guard: "Tonight, you will lead people to sneak into the manor from here and be responsible for attracting the attention of the guards. I will take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the dungeon to rescue people."

The guard looked troubled: "But, young knight, the guards of the manor are all the prime minister's elite. I'm afraid we won't be able to resist them for too long."

"Don't worry, I have my own way." A glint flashed in Gu Jiuchen's eyes. He turned to look at Ye Linglong and said softly, "Linglong, you come with me. We will fight side by side, rescue Master Mo, and then fly away."

Ye Linglong did not hesitate at all and nodded firmly: "Okay, Jiuchen, I will go wherever you go."

Night falls, the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to take action. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were dressed in night clothes, lurking in the dense forest outside the manor, waiting for the appointed time. As soon as midnight arrived, the guards led several of their men and entered the manor like ghosts.

"Who?!"

"There's an assassin!"

The originally silent manor suddenly burst into flames

Come, shouts of killing and clashing of swords come and go, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Gu Jiuchen took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the manor quietly like a cheetah. Relying on his extraordinary skill and familiarity with the terrain, he avoided layers of guards and headed straight to the dungeon.

Deep in the dungeon, Ye Linglong held a sharp blade and fought fiercely with several guards. Her figure was light, her sword skills were sharp, and her moves were deadly. Those guards were no match for her, and they fell into a pool of blood one after another.

At this moment, Gu Jiuchen also arrived at the dungeon. Seeing that Ye Linglong was safe and sound, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground. The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

"Linglong, be careful!" Gu Jiuchen suddenly noticed a hint of danger. He pulled Ye Linglong behind him and swung his sword to block the sneak attack of a man in black.

"Jiuchen, be careful!" Ye Linglong exclaimed and joined the battle.

The two of them stood back to back, with perfect understanding, and started a life-and-death struggle with the man in black. The men in black have strong martial arts skills and fierce moves, but Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong are not easy to deal with. They join forces to fight against the enemy and finally repel the men in black one by one.

"Linglong, are you okay?" After the battle, Gu Jiuchen anxiously checked Ye Linglong's injuries.

"I'm fine." Ye Linglong shook her head, her eyes full of tenderness, "Jiuchen, we are finally together again."

Gu Jiuchen hugged Ye Linglong tightly, his heart filled with happiness and emotion. He knew that their relationship had become deeper and more unbreakable after experiencing this life and death test.

"Lord Mo!" Ye Linglong suddenly thought of Mo Wuhen, she pushed Gu Jiuchen away, anxious

He asked anxiously, "How is Mr. Mo?"

Gu Jiuchen took Ye Linglong's hand and said softly: "Don't worry, Mr. Mo is fine. He has left early. Let's go too. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Under Mo Wuhen's arrangement, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong came to a safe residence. They need time to rest and think about their next plan. The Prime Minister's power is huge, and it is not easy to bring him down, but they have made up their mind and will not give up until they achieve their goal!

The residence arranged by Mo Wuhen was a quiet courtyard surrounded by mountains and rivers. The birds are singing, the flowers are fragrant, and the streams are gurgling, which is in sharp contrast to the tense escape life before. Ye Linglong took a deep breath, and the fresh air made her feel more relaxed than ever.

"Linglong, the environment here is quiet. You can stay here and have a good rest." Mo Wuhen said gently, "I have everything under my control, so you don't have to worry."

"Thank you, Brother Mo." Ye Linglong looked at him gratefully, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise Jiuchen and I..."

"Linglong, there is no need to say thank you between you and me." Mo Wuhen interrupted her, with a trace of imperceptible bitterness in his eyes, "I feel relieved to see that you are safe and sound."

Gu Jiuchen watched them silently from the side. He knew Mo Wuhen's affection for Ye Linglong, but he believed in Ye Linglong's choice.

In the days that followed, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong seemed to be back to the time when they first met. They walked together in the mountains, admiring the sunrise and sunset; they went boating on the lake together, feeling the breeze blowing on their faces; and they talked to each other about their thoughts under the starry sky at night.

"Jiuchen, do you still remember

When we first met? "Ye Linglong asked softly as she nestled in Gu Jiuchen's arms.

Gu Jiuchen smiled slightly, and that memory clearly appeared in his mind. "Of course I remember. At that time, you disguised yourself as a man, acted like a tomboy, and even stole my purse."

Ye Linglong stuck out her tongue playfully, "Who made you so easily fooled back then?"

"However, it is precisely because of your appearance that my life has become colorful." Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong affectionately, "Linglong, meeting you is the greatest luck in my life."

"Me too, Jiuchen." Tears filled the corners of Ye Linglong's eyes. She hugged Gu Jiuchen tightly, feeling this hard-won happiness.

This peaceful time, like the calm before the storm, was cherished by them. However, they all knew in their hearts that as long as the Prime Minister's power was not eliminated, their danger would not be lifted.

"Linglong, after we deal with the prime minister, we can go back to Tianshan to live in seclusion, okay?" Gu Jiuchen stroked Ye Linglong's hair and said softly.

"Okay, let's go back to Tianshan together and live a life without fighting against the world." Ye Linglong closed her eyes, looking forward to the beautiful life in the future.

However, just when they thought everything was over, a bigger conspiracy was brewing...

Peaceful days are always short-lived, and the peaceful lives of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were soon broken.

Early that morning, a secret letter from the capital broke the tranquility in the mountains. Mo Wuhen handed the letter to Gu Jiuchen with a solemn expression and said in a serious tone: "Jiuchen, it seems that we have underestimated the Prime Minister's ambition."

Gu Jiuchen took the letter and quickly read it

After reading it once, his eyebrows were furrowed. The content of the letter was shocking. The Prime Minister was secretly colluding with foreign enemies and intending to rebel. The reason why he had not taken action was actually waiting for an opportunity to catch Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong in one fell swoop.

"What an old fox!" Gu Jiuchen crumpled the letter into a ball, his eyes flashing coldly, "Does he think we can't do anything to him if he is hiding in the dark?"

Ye Linglong walked to him, held his hand, and asked softly: "Jiuchen, what happened?"

Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath and told her the contents of the letter. After hearing this, Ye Linglong's face became solemn.

"It seems that we have to go back to Beijing." Gu Jiuchen said solemnly, "If the Prime Minister is not eliminated for one day, there will never be peace in this world."

Ye Linglong knew that Gu Jiuchen was burdened with the important task of protecting the world, and he could not just sit back and watch. She held his hand tightly and said firmly: "Jiuchen, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Mo Wuhen also stood up and said, "Jiuchen, don't worry, I'm here and I will protect Linglong."

Gu Jiuchen nodded and glanced at Mo Wuhen gratefully. He knew Mo Wuhen's feelings for Ye Linglong, but he believed in Mo Wuhen's character even more.

In order not to alert the enemy, Gu Jiuchen decided to sneak back to the capital alone to find out the details of the prime minister before making plans. Before leaving, he hugged Ye Linglong tightly and whispered in her ear: "Linglong, wait for me to come back, and we will go back to Tianshan together."

Ye Linglong watched Gu Jiuchen's figure disappear in the night, her heart full of worry. She knew that what was waiting for them would be a more brutal struggle.

However, what Ye Linglong didn't know was that after Gu Jiuchen left, Mo Wuhen received a secret letter from the prime minister's mansion, and the content of the letter made his face change drastically...
