Qin Mo loosened his grip, looked down at her, and saw her secretly breathe a sigh of relief, like a cat that had done something wrong quietly observing its master's expression.

He hadn't seen her for quite some time and always thought he would see her after finishing his duties at the military camp, but something always came up and he was delayed.

He was usually quite attentive when handling affairs in the military camp, but these past two days, he had been constantly distracted.

He wondered if she would like the cat he had personally chosen, and whether she would be afraid to be alone in Kyoto.

Sometimes I think I'm overthinking things. She's not that delicate and weak.

On second thought, sometimes her delicate and fragile demeanor makes her seem untouchable, which is indeed a sign of being spoiled.

At this moment, Qin Mo looked at Gu Mingshuang in front of him. She was completely different from all the possibilities he had imagined. She had actually barged into this place dressed as a young man in white!

Looking at the woman's unadorned, exceptionally clean face, Qin Mo pursed his lips.

He had never seen her dressed as a man before. At first glance, how could her bright face hide her good looks? It only added a touch of heroic spirit.

Hearing Liang Jin's cursing from behind, Qin Mo finally looked away.

"Go wait for me over there." His voice was deep, but the coldness in his tone had lessened considerably.

Gu Mingshuang was led aside by the sword shadow. She watched as Qin Mo drew his sword and walked inside, her brows furrowing with anxiety. She hurriedly asked:

"Sword Shadow, I've heard that the owner behind the gambling dens and arena in the south of the city is extremely powerful! Your master was just reprimanded by the Emperor a few days ago because of General Li's matter. Won't this cause more trouble?"

Sword Shadow solemnly said:

"Don't worry, Miss Gu. My master seemed to be in a good mood just now, so he shouldn't kill anyone."

Gu Mingshuang bit her lip and said nervously:

"Should? No, I'd better go check it out!"

She immediately recalled how fast Qin Mo's sword was that day at the Dali Temple; none of the guards there could withstand a second strike.

Not to mention the background of the mastermind behind this, the rich young men who came to play inside are probably all from quite a background as well. If something really happens, wouldn't she be harming Qin Mo?

Sword Shadow blocked Gu Mingshuang's path.

"Miss Gu, don't be afraid. Master usually doesn't kill too many people."

Gu Mingshuang's face stiffened, and she said urgently:

"No! You come inside with me right now!"

She nimbly dodged past the sword shadow and quickly chased after Qin Mo.

When Gu Mingshuang arrived, Qin Mo had already trampled Liang Jin under his feet.

Qin Mo casually slashed the sword in Liang Jin's hand from his neck down to his chest and then to his lower abdomen.

Liang Jin almost fainted, but was woken up by a bodyguard splashing water on him.

Qin Mo chuckled and increased the pressure of his foot, causing Liang Jin to scream in agony.

"My lord, please spare me! I truly don't know how I offended you!"

Qin Mo gently curled his lips into a smile.

"I heard that Young Master Liang is in high spirits today and even intends to take a mistress."

Qin Mo blurted out:

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I know there's a newly arrived 'skinny horse' at Zuixiang Pavilion in Yangzhou. I'll send her over tomorrow!"

Qin Mo curled his lips into a smile, and then thrust the sword in his hand between his legs.

Liang Jin screamed in terror, and his pants instantly became wet.

He looked down and realized that the sword had only torn his pants and stopped just short of castrating him!

Liang Jin turned pale with fright and pleaded desperately, "Your Excellency, spare me! Spare me!"

He couldn't figure out how he could have offended Qin Mo, but then it suddenly dawned on him that it must be related to Gu Mingshuang!

Did Gu Mingshuang offend Qin Mo? To the point that Qin Mo implicated him?

After thinking it through, Liang Jin said urgently:

"Your Excellency, please be wise! I merely happened to encounter that vile woman, Gu Mingshuang, today! A woman like her has only a pretty face; in reality, she is vicious and domineering, and she is utterly unworthy of being taken into the household!"

"My previous statement about taking her as a concubine was merely to humiliate her! I truly have no connection with her! If she offends the Duke, I will certainly teach her a lesson on his behalf!"

Qin Mo drew his sword, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"What else do you want to do to her?"

Liang Jin's anger intensified, and he gritted his teeth, saying:

"I'll strip her naked and send her to the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion to be tortured mercilessly, so that a woman like her will know what rules are... Ah!"

The excruciating pain of being pierced came from my chest!

Liang Jin stared in horror, clutching his chest where the sword had pierced him.

When Gu Mingshuang arrived, her expression suddenly changed.

"Don't!"

Liang Jin fell to the ground.

Gu Mingshuang rushed over quickly, clutching Liang Jin's chest and saying urgently:

"He can't die!"

Qin Mo, his face grim, reached out and pulled Gu Mingshuang away.

"Don't touch him, whether he lives or dies is none of your business."

Thinking of what Liang Jin had just said, this sword strike was already too lenient on him. Right now, he wished he could cut him into a thousand pieces!

But this woman is still standing in front of Liang Jin. Could it be that she really has the idea of ​​going after the Liang family?

Qin Mo's face grew even darker.

Gu Mingshuang was completely unaware of how unpleasant the man's expression was.

Seeing that a lot of people were about to gather around, she didn't bother to say anything else and simply pushed Qin Mo out.

"Get out of here! Just pretend I did it! Let the Liang family come after me, but whatever you do, don't tell them you've ever been here!"

Qin Mo was taken aback, and a crack appeared on his dark expression.

"What did you say?"
