I'm Ecstatic About Transmigrating Into a Novel As the Villainous Empress's Follower

339: Section 339Hearing the words ’Your Highness’, he thought it was King of Zhenbei, Xu Xiao, who had broken into the capital to save him.

What he saw, however,

was an extremely young and handsome face.

Cao Yang!

He remembered this kid wasn’t a Marquis?

How did he suddenly transform

into a Prince?

His gaze fell upon the purple-gold Python Robe Cao Yang was wearing.

He was quite surprised, but didn’t ask further.

Who cares which Prince it is?

As long as he can get out!

This godforsaken place!

He couldn’t drink wine,

couldn’t eat meat,

couldn’t bathe... he really didn’t want to stay any longer!

They exited the prison.

It wasn’t until they walked out of the Divine Martial Division’s main gate that

Gu Chungang remained dazed and silent, not speaking, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

Seeing that Cao Yang had come alone,

Director He was a bit uneasy: ”Your Highness, why don’t this Director send a few cavalrymen to escort you?”

”No need—”

”This Prince specifically requested an imperial decree to pardon the Old Sword God, so how could the Old Sword God harm me?”

Cao Yang smiled faintly.

He waved his hand.

Hearing the three words ’Old Sword God’,

Gu Chungang’s old eyes stirred slightly.

How long had it been since he heard that name?

It’s just a pity.

The current him,

can no longer bear the title of Sword God!

Life is unpredictable.

It’s truly sigh-inducing!

The Sword God who was once invincible, who declared, ’If Heaven does not give birth to Gu Chungang, the Dao of Swords will be like an eternal night’, has, after all, gone and never returned... ”That’s true.”

Director He nodded.

He said no more.

He wasn’t worried about the safety of this Treacherous Official.

Rather, he was worried about Her Majesty the Empress’s wrath.

After all, Cao Yang was taking someone from his Divine Martial Division.

If anything happened,

how could Her Majesty the Empress lightly pardon him?

However,

within the capital,

if Gu Chungang still wanted to leave alive, he probably wouldn’t dare to harm Cao Yang, this Treacherous Official.

After leaving the Divine Martial Division’s yamen,

Gu Chungang, the Old Sword God, finally spoke: ”Gu thanks Your Highness for saving him.”

”Do you know what title this Prince was conferred?”

Cao Yang glanced at him with a smile.

”Gu does not know.”

Gu Chungang shook his head.

What title Cao Yang was conferred seemed to have no relation to him.

”Prince of Anbei.”

Cao Yang said softly.

Seeing the astonished look on his face after hearing this,

he smiled.

And added: ”Now, the Four Prefectures of Beiliang have been returned to the imperial court, and Xu Xiao and his son have died. This Prince, the Prince of Anbei, is the Prince who pacifies Northern Liang...”

After a long silence,

Gu Chungang merely sighed in his eyes.

Xu Xiao had once shown him kindness.

But having guarded Northern Liang for twenty years, and during his journey to the capital, he had done his best for the Xu Family father and son.

Now that Northern Liang was annihilated,

both emotionally and logically,

he owed nothing.

”May I ask, Your Highness, why you saved Gu?”

His heart was calm.

Gu Chungang asked.

There is no kindness without reason in this world.

Cao Yang saving him surely wasn’t because he admired his former reputation as the Sword God?

”It’s simple.”

”I need you to serve this Prince.”

Cao Yang did not beat around the bush.

His words were direct!

”This broken body of Gu’s, I fear, cannot be of great use...”

Gu Chungang shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

During these past three months or so,

the injuries inflicted by the Grand Tutor’s words had all healed, but his Sword Heart and Sword Intent had collapsed even more severely.

Now, hearing of Northern Liang’s demise,

he sighed even more deeply.

He had no more fighting spirit... ”The Sword God who once shook the world...”

”Now—”

”Do you truly not wish to draw your sword again?”

Cao Yang glanced at him.

Draw his sword?

How could Gu Chungang not want to?

But his Sword Heart was lost.

Even if he could draw his sword again,

he would merely be an ordinary Swordsman.

”If Your Highness does not mind, Gu is certainly willing to serve Your Highness.”
