In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

They didn't even care about the woman's modesty.

She grabbed Gu Hanyuan's hand.

He said urgently:

"Brother Gu, you mustn't! Ao Bai is surrounded by thousands of soldiers and many skilled guards. Moreover, it's said that he's exceptionally talented, possessing unparalleled martial arts skills, making him impervious to blades and spears. Assassinating Ao Bai is far too dangerous!"

Gu Hanyuan smiled calmly upon hearing this.

He reached out and placed his hand on Huo Qingtong's hand.

Feeling the softness of her hands.

He said with a gentle yet confident tone:

"Qingtong, rest assured, I am fully confident in my decision."

Huo Qingtong was oblivious to the fact that Gu Hanyuan was holding her hand.

He tried to dissuade him in a flustered manner:

"But it's really too dangerous. I don't want Brother Gu to take the risk."

unknowingly.

Gu Hanyuan has already secured a place in Huo Qingtong's heart.

He was going on an adventure.

How can I feel at ease?

Gu Hanyuan did not directly explain his reason for assassinating Ao Bai.

Instead, he asked gently:

"Does Qing Tong like me?"

"I......"

Huo Qingtong never expected Gu Hanyuan to launch such a sneak attack.

For a moment, they were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

As for whether she likes Gu Hanyuan.

The answer was already in my heart.

However, too many concerns prevented her from answering.

Gu Hanyuan did not force Huo Qingtong to answer.

He said gently but firmly:

“I know that Qing Tong will not be free until she relinquishes her responsibilities to her people. I will not force you, but I will help you regain your freedom and let you soar through the sky.”

Huo Qingtong was taken aback upon hearing this.

Her eyes sparkled with a captivating luster.

She lowered her head slightly.

He asked in a strange tone:

"Did Brother Gu assassinate Ao Bai for Qing Tong's sake?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled calmly:

"It's not entirely for Qing Tong."

Huo Qingtong did not look up.

There was no response.

Obviously didn't believe it.

Gu Hanyuan saw this.

A satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

After adjusting his expression, he said in a deep voice:

"But as soon as Aobai dies, the Qing Dynasty will inevitably fall into chaos. Prince Bao will likely turn against Kangxi, and Wu Sangui will most likely take the opportunity to start a rebellion. With Khwarazm restraining the Mongol Yuan, even if the Qing Dynasty is in chaos, the Hui people will have room to survive."

His deeply affectionate demeanor completely moved Huo Qingtong.

Huo Qingtong could no longer suppress the throbbing in her heart.

She let out a soft cry.

She threw herself into Gu Hanyuan's arms.

Chapter 398: Huo Qingtong: I still want to blossom in Brother Gu's hands.

Huo Qingtong inhaled the pleasant scent emanating from Gu Hanyuan.

The two did not spend much time together.

Strictly speaking.

We officially met last night.

It's not fair to say that feelings developed over time.

It wouldn't be accurate to say it was love at first sight.

But in this short period of time.

Gu Hanyuan, however, moved Huo Qingtong deeply.

It also confirmed her feelings.

Huo Qingtong's eyes shone.

They knew they couldn't persuade Gu Hanyuan to give up the assassination attempt on Ao Bai.

He said with a resolute expression:

"If Brother Gu fails to assassinate Ao Bai and dies, Qing Tong will definitely go to accompany Brother Gu once the clan has a chance to survive."

She still values ​​her clansmen more.

Even suicide for love had to wait until the safety of the clan was assured.

However, Gu Hanyuan was confident that his position in Huo Qingtong's heart was equal to that of Princess Xiangxiang.

That's enough for him now.

As long as things develop normally according to plan.

Huo Qingtong can then continue being best friends with Princess Xiangxiang.

Gu Hanyuan put one arm around Huo Qingtong's slender waist.

He gently stroked Huo Qingtong's smooth and tender cheek with one hand.

He asked softly:

"What if I succeed?"

Huo Qingtong reached out and placed her hand on Gu Hanyuan's hand, which was gently stroking her cheek.

It seemed that this made it easier to feel Gu Hanyuan's presence.

Her eyes grew increasingly tender.

He said softly, with deep affection:

"Qing Tong will belong to Brother Gu for life."

Gu Hanyuan said jokingly:

"Don't worry, Qing Tong, I can't bear to die before I get you. Otherwise, I'll regret last night."

Huo Qingtong blushed deeply upon hearing this.

Her eyes sparkled with a shimmering light.

He hesitated for a moment.

She said shyly, in a voice barely audible:

"Qingtong isn't entirely out of the question..."

She had exhausted her courage before she could even finish speaking.

She nestled in Gu Hanyuan's arms.

Listen to his strong heartbeat.

The sound of her own heartbeat mingled with the sound of her own.

Gu Hanyuan gently stroked Huo Qingtong's soft, long hair.

He spoke slowly in a magnetic voice:

"In my eyes, the Chinese parasol tree is both a self-reliant winter plum and a gentle kapok flower. It would be such a pity if it could not bloom at its most beautiful time."
