Chapter 838 I once made a promise to someone
Deputy General Jiang Chen and others took Shu He, Liu Qin and others to the west gate of Xingqing Palace. There was a Jinming Gate there. After passing through the Jinming Gate, they would reach the main street of the western district of Kyoto City, which meant they were outside the real palace.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way. Just when they thought they could leave the palace smoothly, suddenly, Shu He in front of them stopped and raised his hand.
A faint chill hung in the air, like the cold mist rising from the underworld. The cold and silent space exuded a terrifying aura that sent shudders down one's spine.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Liu Qin asked nervously. This was the first time he had felt so scared on his way out of the palace, as if he could lose his life at any moment.
Yet this is indeed the case.
Shu He asked them to step back and find a place to hide.
Shu He didn't take two steps forward until several guards escorted Liu Qin to the corner. Next to her stood Jiang Chen, the deputy general of the Imperial Guard.
"Crench!"
The Jinming Gate was slowly opened, and a group of soldiers gathered outside the gate. The leader was Guan He, who was beside Baili Moyan.
"The Ninth Prince guessed right. So, Eunuch Liu will really leave the palace through the Jinming Gate?"
Guan He's face showed a bit of coldness, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. He stared straight at where Liu Qin was hiding.
"Eunuch Liu, you're in such a hurry to leave the palace. Are you looking for someone? You shouldn't be carrying anything you shouldn't be carrying, right?"
"Would you like me to give you a ride?"
Seeing him ignoring her, Shu He immediately became dissatisfied, "Commander Guan, do you think I'm not in your eyes?"
Her voice successfully diverted Guan He's attention to her: "Princess Li? I didn't expect you to help someone who hurt you! I thought you were a straightforward person who would avenge your grudges. Humph! How disappointing!"
"A selfish and short-sighted person like Commander Guan naturally cannot understand what is the greater good of the country."
She stepped forward, her voice full of sarcasm. By the time she reached Guan He, she had a sharp dagger in her hand. "One thing you must understand: I'm helping the people of this country, not the emperor!"
"The country and the people? Just you?" Guan He sneered, obviously not taking her words seriously.
Shu He ignored his contempt and remembered something.
"I once made a promise to someone that if I ever met you, I would teach you a lesson on his behalf, letting you know what pain and suffering are! I would also collect the interest you've owed him for a long, long time!"
Guan He frowned slightly, a hint of confusion on his face, "What do you mean by this, Princess?"
"You don't need to understand, just bear with it!!"
After she finished speaking, her eyes became stern, and her body instantly turned into a green shadow and disappeared in front of everyone.
Everyone was shocked, and in the blink of an eye, they saw the green figure appear in front of Guan He.
Guan He was also stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting her speed to be so fast, and immediately raised his knife to chop at the person who came.
Shu He's body was suspended in the air, and the dagger in his hand suddenly stretched out in the air, turning into a short sword, facing Guan He's hard sword.
However, what happened next left everyone stunned and in disbelief.
"Keng!!"
The swords collided, and after a slight sound, the seemingly thin and fragile sword blade actually broke the big knife in Guan He's hand!
Cut it in half, just like cutting tofu!!
Everyone: This...
That was the Heaven and Earth Dagger that Baili Moqing gave her. When the two daggers were combined, they could become an indestructible dagger. He gave it to her for self-defense.
He said that with the blessing of this short sword, Shu He would be at the early stage of the third rank, and could fight with people at the upper-middle level of the third rank. In addition, her body movements were already cunning and difficult to detect, so it would not be difficult for her to win.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, including Guan He!
Before he could come to his senses, Shu He's feet had already landed heavily on his chest, kicking him out!
At this moment, a cavalryman saw only a green shadow flash before his eyes, and the next second he found that the whip in his hand had disappeared. Looking up again, he saw the Princess of Li holding his whip in her hand, desperately hitting Commander Guan.
Guan He felt a burning pain all over his body. It was painful and humiliating. He was a grown man, but he was being held down and whipped by a woman! He had never suffered such humiliation in his life!
However, when he tried to fight back, he found that all his internal strength was gone, as if it had been sealed.
He was terrified, and when he looked up, he met a pair of devil-like eyes.
"what did you do to me?!"
When the rebels outside Jinming Gate saw Guan He being subdued, they immediately wanted to come to help, but several people appeared in front of them.
One is Jiang Chen and another deputy general, as well as two capable men under their command. The other is Xuan Feng who was left in Kyoto by Baili Moqing.
Xuan Feng was filled with fighting spirit and was holding a lot of anger!
"It's you who's keeping me from the battlefield? I was just about to settle the score with you, but I didn't expect you to come to my doorstep and let me make a contribution!"
"Today, I will definitely be a general!"
After saying that, he rushed into the rebels first, and almost single-handedly blocked all the rebels who wanted to rescue Guan He!
On the other side, Jiang Chen and another deputy general led other guards to capture and kill the fish that had escaped the net.
In short, with their perseverance and assistance, Shu He's act of whipping Guan He was not hindered in any way.
Guan He is also a tough guy. From the time he was beaten until now, he has not screamed, not even cried out in pain, and has not begged for mercy.
He just didn't understand why this Princess Li wanted to humiliate him like this?
They don't seem to have any personal vendettas, do they?
If you want to kill someone, just kill them. Why humiliate them like this? This vicious woman has absolutely no moral principles at all!
He held on, and Shu He continued to beat him. The whip in his hand was like an iron rod, hitting him hard again and again.
She didn't stop until his back was covered in blood and he was shaking with pain and had lost all his strength.
Feeling the burning pain all over his back, Guan He was so angry that he wanted to go crazy. He wanted to jump up and kill the woman in front of him, but he couldn't mobilize any internal strength in his body!
Shu He threw the whip in front of him. She did not respond to his previous question, but said to him: "I hope this beating will remind you of who you have wronged."
When the fighting here stopped, Xuan Feng almost eliminated all the rebels.
There was a noise coming from the south. Shu He realized that reinforcements were on the way and quickly asked Xuan Feng to take Liu Qin away.
By the time the rescue arrived, the Jinming Gate had already been closed, and there was no one outside the palace gate except a group of soldiers who had fallen to the ground.
