Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 569: Chapter 422: Three Kingdoms Join Forces to Annihilate

”Stop? Ha ha...” Gu Changsheng sneered upon hearing this, turned around to look down at the newcomer, and spoke in a deep voice, ”His Highness the Second Prince actually asking me to stop? Don’t you think this request is a bit excessive?”

”You! Gu Changsheng, don’t get too arrogant!” Jin Linyuan retorted with a stern face immediately upon hearing this.

”Me, arrogant? Ha ha!” Gu Changsheng chuckled again, his gaze piercing as he stared straight at Jin Linyuan, ”For the safety of His Highness the Second Prince of Liaodong, having the soldiers you brought search the guests at the banquet might be excusable. However, they first provoked me with their words and then, without any questions, they tried to kill me directly!”

”Jin Linyuan, if they didn’t know who I was, then so be it, but they knew full well and still wanted to kill me. If this isn’t your doing, then whose could it be?” Gu Changsheng said with an icy face, his eyes showing a hint of bloodthirstiness. He raised his palm and struck toward several guards once again, enunciating each word, ”So, they, deserve to die!”

Watching several of his men fall to Gu Changsheng’s ruthless attacks, Jin Linyuan’s expression finally changed, his fingers clenched slowly as he approached Gu Changsheng, and without blinking, he said in a heavy tone, ”Gu Changsheng, you pride yourself on medical skills unmatched in the world, you are arrogant and overbearing. But today, you’ve killed more than a hundred of my soldiers, and I will have your blood as repayment!”

”Ha ha...” Gu Changsheng burst into laughter upon hearing this, ”Screw your mother! Your words sound better than your singing! The plum banquet was set by you, and the invitation was also sent by you. I gave you enough face to attend this setup, yet you let your men wait here with the intent to take my life! Jin Linyuan, whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve, bring them all out!”

”This is your own doing! Blame yourself for being Zhou Mu’s woman!” Jin Linyuan’s face was as still as water, and he spoke solemnly, his finger moved, and a purple signal flare rose into the air.

Seeing this purple signal flare, Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes couldn’t help but dangerously narrow.

Glancing around, sure enough, the next moment, the sound of countless uniform footsteps approached from all sides.

”Heavens! It’s an army!”

”It’s not ours from Great Zhou!”

”What do we do? What do we do now?”

”Run!”

No one knew who shouted in the crowd, but the next moment, a cacophony of noise and chaos came from afar.

Gu Changsheng, seeing this, furrowed her brow slowly, the slight worry she had felt since morning had finally been confirmed!

”Gu Changsheng, not a single influential gentry from the Liuzhou Region shall escape. If you don’t die, if Huo Shuixian doesn’t die, then they will all be buried with you!” Jin Linyuan looked up at Gu Changsheng on the carriage and said with a cold laugh.

”Jin Linyuan, you’ve assembled Imperial personal guards and stationed troops in Liuzhou City, you’re using the plum banquet as hostage to target the Liuzhou Region’s gentry, just to eliminate me and Huo Shuixian?” Gu Changsheng’s face was cold as she spoke in a deep voice, ”I suppose this play must also involve Southern Chen and Northern Mongolia?”

Jin Linyuan smirked upon hearing this, then glanced at the gathering army.

”Correct, Gu Changsheng, I, Northern Mongolia, am also involved!” Borjigin Lvchi, in full military attire, walked over. Upon seeing Gu Changsheng, a flash of admiration in his eyes, he shook his head and sighed, ”Such a beauty, what a pity! Why did you have to choose Zhou Mu? Regardless of whether you are the Female Star of the Occupation Room or not, we won’t allow a woman like you to become a significant asset to Zhou Mu!”

Gu Changsheng looked at the approaching Borjigin Lvchi, then turned to look at the two Sima brothers following him, a sneer flashed in her eyes, ”Right! Even you are wary of me being with Zhou Mu, tell me, why is it that Emperor Zhoulin just adamantly refuses to agree?”

Such a lack of foresight! Look at the people of the Three Kingdoms, they are willing to provoke tensions with tens of thousands of Imperial Personal Guards, just to eliminate her, to prevent her from becoming an asset to Zhou Mu, to keep him from gaining an overwhelming advantage. Why can’t Emperor Zhoulin see her value?

”With death approaching, you still have the presence of mind to speak of others! Gu Changsheng, if you had been born a man, you might have been quite the figure. Too bad you’re a woman!” Jin Linyuan sneered as he spoke, his face set with determination.

”You make a good point! I regret not being born a man! Then those cluster of bastards would have no relation to me, right?” Gu Changsheng replied, nodding her head seriously, then turned to Si Xi guarding the carriage door with an apologetic expression, ”Xiao Si Xi, with the Myriad Armies approaching, today you either fight with me to carve a bloody path and escape or I’m afraid we’ll both be buried by the bank of Hengtang Lake!”

Upon hearing this, Si Xi swung his iron whip and said with a deep voice, ”My lady, be assured, Si Xi will fight to the death to protect you until the master comes to the rescue!”

”He won’t come...” Gu Changsheng shook her head slowly in response, ”Their brazen move of bringing garrisoned troops into the city only proves that the evildoer is not within Liuzhou City. Who knows, they might have used some sort of ruse to lure him away...”

”No, my lady, the master is a naturally gifted person, he cannot be easily fooled by others, he certainly won’t let you be in danger!” Si Xi spoke with unwavering certainty.

Gu Changsheng smiled upon hearing this and noncommittally nodded her head.

”People always say ’big breasts but no brains,’ but it turns out, Gu Changsheng, not only are your breasts big and you’re pretty, but that brain of yours is quite sharp too! Ha ha!” Borjigin Lvchi said with a smile, ”You’re right, we did lure Zhou Mu out of Liuzhou City, and he won’t be able to return before nightfall. Don’t hope for him to save you, just surrender peacefully, and we can at least leave you an intact corpse!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng turned her head to gaze at the four Imperial relatives and nobles standing side by side, a sneer curling at the corner of her mouth as she slowly spoke, ”You really think highly of me, tens of thousands of soldiers surrounding just me. To be treated with such regard by you all, what fortune for Changsheng!”

Jin Linyuan and the others were silent upon hearing this.

Gu Changsheng glanced at them and began to speak, ”They say that one cannot fight against many, against tens of thousands of troops, Changsheng acknowledges her inability to defeat them, but... ha ha...”

Gu Changsheng laughed out loud at this, his laughter infused with inner strength, causing those around him to involuntarily furrow their brows. Some with inferior kung fu even dropped their weapons and covered their ears.

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng’s laughter ceased. With a long reach, he pointed directly at Jin Linyuan and his two companions, his face as cold as ice, punctuating his words deliberately, ”But, even if it means rivers of blood, even if it means dying here, I want the four of you to keep me company in death!”

”You! The Crown Prince appointed by the Three Kingdoms! With your accompaniment, I will not feel lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs!”

As Gu Changsheng finished speaking, the four were momentarily stunned. Sima Changhao and his brothers, in unison, took a step back, their faces still painted with a hue of fear.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng let out a scoff of ridicule.

”Sima Changhao, what does this mean? Do you really believe her words? Scared stiff by a woman’s utterance, aren’t you ashamed that it might spread and make you the laughingstock!” Borjigin Lvchi mocked Sima Changhao and Jin Linyuan as they stepped back.

Although they had come to a temporary agreement, their years of rivalry were not so easily forgotten!

On hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile. Sima Changhao and his brothers were obviously still scared!

”Less nonsense. At this point, there’s no turning back. Let’s deal with her first, then go after Huo Shuixian. With both of them dead, even if Zhou Mu returns, it will be too late!” Jin Linyuan spoke gravely, ”Commanders, heed my order. At all costs, seize Gu Changsheng’s life!”

”The arrow shot does not turn back, attack!” Borjigin Lvchi immediately followed up on hearing this.

Upon hearing this, a malevolent qi surged within Gu Changsheng. Her red garment billowed like blood, rustling in the air, as she fixed her unwavering gaze on Jin Linyuan and his comrades!

To capture the king, one must first capture the thief. She hadn’t said those words in jest!

She was indeed determined to kill the Crown Princes of the Three Kingdoms!

Even though she knew that killing them would throw the world into chaos, she had no choice but to do it!

As thousands surrounded her, Gu Changsheng knew that escape was now hopeless. If the evildoer knew, he would rage furiously. By then, the chaos wouldn’t just be a disturbance; it would be a calamity for all living beings!

She dared not imagine how the evildoer would avenge her!

So let her personally take the lives of these few men, to soothe his wrath a bit!

Sima Changhao and Sima Liancheng, witnessing the relentless approach of a crushing tide of troops toward the coach, both showed a flicker of hesitation.

Their own troops had not moved an inch without Sima Changhao’s command, still waiting on the sidelines!

As the Northern Mongolian and Liaodong armies advanced toward the coach, they were guarded by their personal guards and moved back. Sima Changhao cast a deadly glance at Gu Changsheng and raised his hand, about to give an order.

Sima Liancheng, quick to react, grabbed his hand, shaking his head nervously and whispering, ”Imperial Brother, we must not act rashly! This woman Gu Changsheng is too wicked. She means what she says, and she does what she means. If we also mobilize, we might indeed end up accompanying her in death!”

”Are we then to disregard the treaty of the Three Kingdoms and just watch?” Sima Changhao questioned, a glint of dark intent in his eyes.

”Wait first! Let’s just wait and see what she does!” Sima Liancheng hurriedly reached out to dissuade him.

Even with the movement of the two nations’ armies, it was no small matter. The army was arrayed in force, spears pointed towards Gu Changsheng on the coach, closing in rapidly.

”My lady, I will die with you!” Dong Lei, her face marked with determination, held a pair of kitchen knives and stood above the coach’s shaft.

The Northern Mongolian and Liaodong armies gathered around, their martial presence not to be underestimated, causing the Sweat-Blood Precious Horses pulling the carriage to become restless.

Upon seeing this, Si Xi acted decisively. His iron whip lashed towards the horses’ hooves!

”Boom!”

The next moment, both precious horses lay on the ground, neighing to the sky, and the carriage lurched forward before quickly stabilizing.

Gu Changsheng, looking at the fallen horses, felt a pang of heartache, then blood-red colors began to spread in her eyes...

”Today, it’s either your death or mine!”
