Gu Zhao's body was flying in the air, but her head turned back hard, trying to see clearly who was attacking her from behind.

She saw it!

In the shocked eyes of everyone, the one who has not retracted his arm is Yuan Fu who has been accompanying her to protect her!

Gu Zhao looked at the familiar figure in disbelief. He had already raised his hand and took off his wide-brimmed hat. That delicate face was not the usual lazy and affectionate one, but cold and indifferent.

For a moment, Gu Zhao's heart went blank.

It wasn't until she fell from the air and her back hit the wall hard that the pain made Gu Zhao wake up.

Gu Zhao watched Yuan Fu walking towards him step by step, his consciousness slowly recovered, and he sat up from the ground little by little.

But the slap she received just now was so heavy that she didn't even have the strength to stand up. She could only lean against the dilapidated wall of the hall and stubbornly sat up straight, looking directly at Yuan Fu.

"I've been hiding by your side for so many days, and I can finally stop pretending!"

For the first time, Yuan Fu no longer spoke breathlessly. His voice was loud and magnetic, but his words sounded particularly cold and ruthless to Gu Zhao's ears.

Gu Zhao closed his eyes, but soon opened them again. The pain in his eyes had disappeared, leaving only calmness.

"So, you have been lying to me for so many days?"

Before Yuan Fu could speak, a graceful figure had already jumped in from outside the wall and landed next to him.

"Of course." As soon as the man landed, he replied with a smile, "My young master is of noble birth, especially for a country girl like you to try to get attached to him?"

"If it weren't for some mistake and you were valuable, the young master would have to make do with you. Do you think you would have such an opportunity to get close to the young master?"

Gu Zhao's eyes turned cold.

Green waist!

So she has been following them? Gu Zhao's martial arts can only be regarded as average, but Yuan Fu is so good, why didn't he notice Lu Yao's pursuit? Impossible.

The only explanation is that he simply pretended not to know, and even deliberately pointed the way, letting the green waist follow them all the time.

Gu Zhao hated himself in his heart. The mistakes he made in his previous life were made again in this life.

How could she give a man another chance to hurt herself!

"Then may I ask, what is my use value?" Gu Zhao asked calmly.

Lu Yao wanted to say something, but Yuan Fu raised his hand, and she immediately shut her mouth. However, she smiled happily and leaned against Yuan Fu, looking at Gu Zhao proudly, with the pride of a winner on her face.

Yuan Fu looked at Gu Zhao with a calm expression, "Of course it's your identity as Controller. Yunhe in Qingyi gave you the colorful crane uniform. He is well-informed and has a convenient identity. It has many benefits for executing my plan."

"By following you, I can learn a lot of secrets, get close to people in the royal family, contact various forces, and amend my plan to perfection, thus completely achieving my goal."

Gu Zhao raised her head and looked at the man who had been so intimate with her. She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and kept her face as calm as if she was talking about someone else's business. "I see."

"So, your goal has been achieved today. In other words, this case is related to you?"

Yuan Fu paused for a moment before replying, "Yes, this case is related to me. I am with you just for today."

"Now you are of no use, I can only send you to die!"

Gu Zhao saw that the face that was once full of love had become so unfamiliar. He struggled to stand up, raised his head and said, "I know I am not your opponent. Since I have misjudged the wrong person, I should bear this."

As a result, just go ahead and do it."

"For the sake of the love between you and me these days, I will leave you a whole corpse." Yuan Fu turned a blind eye to her grief and anger, and strode straight towards her, the long sword shining coldly in his hand.

The sword that had been pointed at others for her sake was pointed at herself this time.

Gu Zhao looked desperate, watching Yuan Fu getting closer and closer, and finally closed his eyes.

The cold sword edge was getting closer and closer to Gu Zhao's neck. When she was so close that she could feel the cold air emanating from the sword edge, she suddenly shouted "Wait a minute!"

That cold magnetic voice asked condescendingly, "What else do you have to say?"

Gu Zhao closed his eyes and said, "If I exchange secrets, can you change my life?"

The other party obviously hesitated, and after a while he replied, "Tell me about it."

Gu Zhao opened his eyes and saw the same handsome face without any flaws, but now it had a greedy expression on it, making it look much uglier.

A hint of sarcasm flashed across the corner of her mouth, and it passed by without anyone noticing.

"Do you know about the Eighth Duke's treasure?" Gu Zhao said seriously, "The Eighth Duke of the founding of the country buried a treasure that was extremely rich for the sake of future generations."

Although the other party tried very hard to control his breathing and reactions, Gu Zhao could still see his instant excitement when he heard the news.

"I have a treasure map of Hachiko's treasure here."

Gu Zhao slowly put his hand into his sleeve, took out a purse, opened the purse in front of the other party, and took out a piece of silk from the purse.

"Isn't this just a handkerchief?" the other party said angrily, "Do you want to die? How dare you lie to me?"

Gu Zhao quickly explained, "This looks like a handkerchief, but it's actually the treasure map I got from Mrs. Li Guogong."
