Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 526: Chapter 383: No One Gets Away

”Madam Gu?” Gu Changsheng heard the words, her willow eyebrows stood on end as she repeated the phrase, and her beautiful cheeks instantly darkened! She was suddenly not feeling good at all!

Seeing her like this, a trace of relief flashed across Li Mufeng’s face!

Yes, how could this heart-stoppingly beautiful woman be the cowardly, lowly, and utterly worthless Madam Gu!

Even if there were a few similarities in their eyes and eyebrows, since she had appeared in front of the Gu Residence, she must undoubtedly be a relative of Madam Gu!

How could Gu Changsheng know the many twists and turns in Li Mufeng’s mind? Right now, she was furious! She was utterly incapable of accepting the title of Madam Gu!

Some called her Medicine God! Some called her Lady Changsheng! Some called her ’my lord’! And there was one who called her ’my love’!

But not a single person had called her Madam Gu!

”To hell with your Madam Gu! I’ve never changed my name, nor my surname—I am Gu Changsheng!” Gu Changsheng exploded in a tirade, her long arm stretching out, pointing directly at Li Mufeng, ”You are the Princely Heir of Li Mansion, aren’t you? My faithless ex-husband, am I right?”

The moment Li Mufeng heard this, his handsome face instantly turned pale!

He had not expected this stunning woman to be his ex-wife, Gu Changsheng!

He had not expected her to be so fierce!

She was nothing like the person he remembered!

”Are... Are you really Madam Gu?” Li Mufeng asked in disbelief once again.

This time, Gu Changsheng was truly provoked. She was a woman of action and without saying a second word, her toes lightly touched the ground and in a blink, the red figure soared up into the air, flying straight toward the open window on the second floor!

”Scared!”

The crowd had only the time to exclaim in shock, and by the time they came to their senses, Lady Changsheng had already descended back to where she had been standing, only...

Only now, in her hand... was a delicately made light crossbow!

The string was pulled tight like a full moon, and the Bone-Piercing Arrow was nocked!

”Li Mufeng, if you dare to call me Madam Gu again, believe it or not, I can shoot and kill you right here?” Gu Changsheng’s eyes blazed with fury, her slender fingers on the trigger, the tip of the Bone-Piercing Arrow pointing directly at Li Mufeng. She spoke with a mocking smile, ”You managed to deflect Ning Er’s arrow, why not try your luck and see if you have the skill to deflect an arrow shot by me!”

”My lord!” Yhan Qinrui cried out, her petite body shielding Li Mufeng immediately, ”Gu Changsheng, if you have any anger, direct it at me! How dare you raise your hand against my lord, this is the great crime of murdering one’s husband, it’s intolerable by society!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes fiercely shot out flames of rage, and the anger in her heart boiled over, ”Spouting your mother’s nonsense! He may be your lord, but he has no right to be my lord! You think you can dodge this? Rest assured, since he dared to take action for you, and face my arrow! Then today, you...”

”You... none of you shall leave!”

Don’t force her to swear! She truly loathed the sight of the intimate display between the two before her eyes!

It made her extremely furious, wishing she could tear them to pieces to quell her anger!

”You’ve done enough, Madam Gu!” Li Mufeng said, a hint of anger flashing across his handsome face, ”If you hate me for divorcing you, take it out on me, there’s no need to vent your anger on Qinrui!”

”Whoosh!”

As Li Mufeng’s words fell, the sound of the arrow breaking through the air was heard!

Li Mufeng’s eyes widened in shock, looking at the resolute woman atop the stairway, and then at the powerfully thrust arrow flying straight at him!

In that moment, he realized that Gu Changsheng was not just talking the talk!

She truly dared to act!

And what made Li Mufeng, the battle-hardened commander who controlled Great Zhou’s and Liaodong Border’s vast armies, tremble in fear, was the realization that under the threat of the sharp arrow, a trace of fear had crept into his heart!

A fear of the strong that stemmed from the bottom of his heart, beyond his control!

He couldn’t dodge this arrow!

Confusion flickered in Li Mufeng’s eyes. Was this really his ex-wife, the timid, lowly Gu Changsheng, who would cry helplessly at a single frown from him?

”My lord!”

As the saying goes, in the blink of an eye, the arrow was loosed in an instant!

When Yhan Qinrui cried out, Li Mufeng’s heart jolted, suddenly snapping out of it and frantically sidestepping!

”Thud!”

The sound of an arrow piercing flesh was followed by a spray of blood!

The Bone-Piercing Arrow, initially aimed at Li Mufeng’s chest, had entered his left arm, the shaft through the flesh, and out the other side!

”Ting!”

A light sound followed as the Bone-Piercing Arrow went through Li Mufeng’s left arm, its head with a tuft of blood and flesh, driving straight into the bluestone road behind him!

The feather of the arrow was still trembling, but the shaft was unmoving, and the head... was embedded half a foot into the stone!

”Scared!”

”Wow!”

The onlookers, witnessing this, withdrew in terror!

”L... Lady Changsheng, what incredible strength!”

”This... This is much more powerful than those three arrows earlier!”

”That arrow went right through a man’s arm and still lodged halfway into the stone on the path, how much strength must that have taken...”

”My Heavenly Father!”

”Heavenly Father!”

”...”

Draped in a red garment that flew wildly, Gu Changsheng remained undisturbed by the surrounding gasps and exclamations, her gaze fiercely fixed on the two people below!

”Husband! Husband, your arm, what do we do? What do we do? Wuuu...” Yan Qinrui’s tear-filled eyes spun chaotically, her hands flailing trying to stop the blood spurting from Li Mufeng’s left arm—to no avail!

Seeing this, the corners of Gu Changsheng’s mouth curved into a cold arc!

If Li Mufeng dared to change the arrow’s direction for Yan Qinrui and shoot it at her, then he deserved what he got from this arrow!

”Gu Changsheng! How dare you! I welcomed you back to the Capital City on His Majesty’s orders, do not scorn the toast only to drink the penalty!” Blood streamed relentlessly from his left arm, the searing pain twisting Li Mufeng’s facial expression!

He and Yan Qinrui were truly in love, yet his grandfather had insistently accepted His Highness Prince Mu’s proposal, forcing him to marry this woman!

He had never liked her, not even able to treat her with the minimum courtesy!

Now that he had finally married his beloved Ruirui, the Emperor had issued a decree for him to welcome Gu Changsheng back to the Capital City!

The current Gu Changsheng excited his heart, but she showed no regard for their past as husband and wife and brazenly attacked him!

At that moment, Li Mufeng’s heart seethed with anger!

He had also heard the rumors between Gu Changsheng and His Highness Prince Mu!

Hence! This must be because Gu Changsheng had found new love and clung to someone of higher status!

”I have tasted all the fine wines in the world, but the only one I refuse to touch is that which comes from you, Li Mufeng, be it a toast or a penalty!” Gu Changsheng retorted coldly, her stunning face filled with disdain and contempt!

She could clearly see Li Mufeng’s genuine affection for Yan Qinrui!

But if that was the case, why did he agree to the marriage in the first place and bring her into his home?

After marrying her, he treated her poorly, allowing her and her son to suffer humiliations in Li Mansion, rendering them penniless before coldly casting them out and immediately marrying another!

Such a man, devoid of responsibility! Even if he appears noble, he is but scum!

Scum! Vile scum that sickens her!

”Gu Changsheng, how bold of you to act this arrogantly in front of me, the Princely Heir. Have you no respect for the law?” Li Mufeng, ignoring the blood gushing from his arm, stared deeply at the woman on the steps with unruly eyes that still captivated and were hard to turn away from.

Even in her arrogance, she was still stirring, unable to take his eyes off her!

Li Mufeng had to admit, the woman before him, this woman, moved him in a way he had never experienced before, not even with Yan Qinrui!

”Haha... the law?” Gu Changsheng scoffed upon hearing this, her sleeves fluttering as she spoke sternly, ”In front of my residence, I am the law! My lord, open your dog eyes and see clearly, this is Liuzhou City, not your playground in the Capital City!”

Liuzhou City was Zhou Mu’s territory, that evildoer!

As long as Zhou Mu was there, no matter who it was!

Dragons had to coil, tigers had to crouch! Just a simple Li Mufeng, and that too wearing the title of her former husband, getting the courage to appear before her was one thing; to do so with such righteousness as to speak of welcoming her back to the Capital City!

Yan Qinrui’s arrival had already sensitized the evildoer Zhou Mu enough to come and beg for a promise!

And what about Li Mufeng?

If the evildoer Zhou Mu found out about Li Mufeng’s visit, then the situation, it seems, would become quite interesting!

At this moment, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt that sparing the life of this scum might not be such a bad idea after all!

At the very least, she could witness Zhou Mu’s jealousy!

”Husband, husband, we shouldn’t talk so much to her. She’s just a demon who kills without blinking an eye!” Yan Qinrui clutched at Li Mufeng’s wound, tearfully pleading in a broken voice, ”Husband, let’s go! Shall we leave this place, please?”

”But...” Li Mufeng saw his beloved wife in distress and couldn’t bear it, yet when he looked again at Gu Changsheng, he was ultimately unwilling!

One reason was certainly the Emperor’s command, and the second was that he truly wanted to bring a woman like Gu Changsheng back to his residence!

”Want to leave? It’s not so easy!” Before Li Mufeng could finish speaking, Gu Changsheng’s red lips opened slightly, her cold laugh interrupting, ”Do you think my Gu Residence is some public road? You think you can barge in, create a scene, and then leave unscathed?”

She narrowed her eyes and continued, ”Li Mufeng, you may leave, I’ll spare you for the sake of you being Gu Ze’s father. Having reclaimed vengeance with one arrow, you’re free to go!”

Li Mufeng’s brows furrowed upon hearing this.

”But her!” Gu Changsheng pointed towards Yan Qinrui, murder gleaming in her eyes, she declared, ”You may leave, but she must stay!”

Yan Qinrui paled with shock at her words!

The panic she felt when she was in imminent danger returned, causing her to desperately clutch at Li Mufeng’s wound, shaking her head repeatedly!

The grip on his wound was excruciating, causing even Li Mufeng’s face to twist with pain!

After finishing her declaration, Gu Changsheng, unconcerned with the couple’s clingy display, once again raised her light crossbow!

Si Xi, seeing this, deftly handed over a Bone-Piercing Arrow.

Gu Changsheng took the Bone-Piercing Arrow, a cold smile gracing her lips!

In an instant, the arrow was nocked once more, this time, its point aimed straight at Yan Qinrui!

Since she had already embarked on a killing spree, there was no possibility of stopping halfway!

Since Yan Qinrui dared to use the Hateful Victory Curse against her and threaten her precious son, her death was a must!

Seeing Gu Changsheng raise the light crossbow to aim once again, Li Mufeng’s expression drastically changed...
