The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

When Gu Mingzhao came back, he saw the three men shouting arrogantly in his room.

Liao Qinglan's weak body stood in front of them.

He strode forward, his robes fluttering, and he exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

Gu Mingzhao locked onto the arrogant leader at a glance.

He appeared behind the man like a lightning bolt and a ghost.

His right hand held the other's wrist tightly like an iron clamp.

The man only felt a huge force coming, as if his arm was going to be crushed alive. His face was distorted in pain, the flesh on his face was trembling, and he let out a shrill scream.

"You are so bold to bully my family while I'm away!" Gu Mingzhao's voice was icy cold, filled with anger and murderous intent.

The man almost fainted from the pain, but he still gritted his teeth and shouted, "If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one. What's the point of attacking me from behind?"

Gu Mingzhao sneered, with a trace of disdain in his eyes: "Fight you alone? You are not qualified, the three of you should come together.

The leader was enraged by his arrogance. He endured the pain, pulled out a dagger with his other hand, and stabbed Gu Mingzhao.

Gu Mingzhao's eyes flashed, and he slightly turned his body to avoid the sudden attack.

At the same time, his other hand shot out like lightning, grabbed the man's wrist, twisted it hard, and the dagger fell to the ground.

"Huh, is that all you have?"

Gu Mingzhao sneered and threw the man several feet away.

The man slammed heavily against the wall, blood spurting out of his mouth, obviously seriously injured.

Seeing this, the other two roared and rushed towards Gu Mingzhao.

They waved the long swords in their hands, and the swords flashed, as if they were going to kill Gu Mingzhao with their swords.

Gu Mingzhao's figure was elusive, and he moved nimbly among the sword light.

The Longyuan sword in his hand had not yet been unsheathed, but he was already able to deal with them with ease.

With ease, Gu Mingzhao snatched the sword from one man and put it on the neck of another.

The winner is already clear.

The man whose sword was taken away was unwilling to give up. He suddenly shouted, pulled out a soft whip from his waist, and whipped Gu Mingzhao hard.

The soft whip brings with it a sharp gust of wind, and if hit by it, the person will either die or be seriously injured.

Gu Mingzhao frowned and took several steps back, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

There was a flash of anger in his eyes, and he jumped up again, grabbing the man with his hands like eagle claws.

Seeing this, the man quickly swung his whip to block, but Gu Mingzhao was so fast that he broke through the whip's defense in an instant and grabbed the man's shoulder.

"what--"

The man screamed and felt as if his shoulder was clamped by an iron clamp, causing excruciating pain.

He struggled to break free, but Gu Mingzhao's grip was so strong that no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.

The three were no longer able to resist.

Gu Mingzhao forced the three of them to kneel in front of Liao Qinglan.

"Apologize."

Gu Mingzhao's voice was cold and chilling.

Those people looked dissatisfied.

"How can you be considered a hero if you bully ordinary guards like us?" one of them snorted coldly.

"Then what kind of ability do you think you have just used your numbers to bully my family?" Gu Mingzhao asked back.

"I just don't like you, a pretty boy! Why do you think you can be our leader?"

"You're right, our boss should be a hero like Lord Lu!"

Although they were kneeling on the ground, they were still chattering, so noisy that it made Liao Qinglan's ears uncomfortable.

Now that Gu Mingzhao has returned, she is no longer willing to tolerate these unreasonable people.

"Shut up!" Liao Qinglan shouted, "Since the Lord Lu you are talking about is so great, why doesn't he come here himself, but sends you little minions to cause trouble?"

"You little bastard, you were so scared just now that you didn't dare to say a word. Now that you have a backer, you think we dare not touch you, right?" someone mocked.

"I have a backer now, so what?" Liao Qinglan proudly stood beside Gu Mingzhao, "With my brother here, you can try to move me."

Her previous timidity disappeared without a trace, and her smug look at this moment was really annoying.

The guard with the broken hand was particularly disgusted and roared, "Don't be too proud. Even if I only have one hand left, I can still easily cripple you. Do you dare to compete with me?"

Gu Mingzhao took a half step forward, protecting Liao Qinglan behind him, and said calmly: "With me here, she doesn't need to do these fighting and killing things."

Liao Qinglan felt that Gu Mingzhao's figure suddenly became much taller!

She stuck out her tongue at the guard and smiled smugly.

Even if you beat us, we will not submit to you!"

"That's right! If you have the guts, come and challenge our Lord Lu in an open and level fight!"

"With your small body, our Lord Lu can easily crush you to death without even drawing the Tai'a Sword."

The three of them were shouting at each other.

Liao Qinglan suddenly caught the three words "Tai'a Sword".

"Wait, what sword are you talking about?" Liao Qinglan interrupted them.

"The world-famous sword, Tai'a! Have you heard of it too? Are you scared? Hahahahahahaha!" The sturdy man in the lead laughed out loud.

Liao Qinglan had a complicated expression on her face.

Isn’t the Taia Sword the famous sword that Qin Xiaoxiao bought at the martial arts competition?

She remembered that Qin Xiaoxiao had used this sword as bait in an attempt to lure Gu Mingzhao into submitting to her.

But Gu Mingzhao remained unmoved, so Qin Xiaoxiao gave the sword to his opponent.

If this is true, then the "Lord Lu" they are talking about is...

Gu Mingzhao noticed Liao Qinglan's expression of trying not to laugh and cast an inquiring look at her.

"The Lord Lu they are talking about is actually an old acquaintance of my brother..."

Liao Qinglan was about to explain in detail when she saw Lu Renjia striding towards her.

Although Lu Renjia is of burly build, his face is filled with a flattering smile at this moment.

"Brother Long, are you there?"

He had once been defeated by Long Yin, so he had great respect for him.

Hearing that Long Yin was also here and had become the new chief of the guards, he came over in a hurry to say hello.

The three guards showed no emotion at all, thinking that their savior had arrived.

"Lord Lu, you have to make the decision for us! This pretty boy was so arrogant just now, he didn't take you seriously at all."

"Yes, yes, Lord Lu, you should teach him a lesson and let him know how powerful we are!"

"Master Lu, teach him a lesson!"

"Shut up! Do you want to kill me?"

Lu Renjia yelled angrily and slapped them several times in turn.

"Sir Lu, he stole your position as the chief guard! We are standing up for you!" one person said aggrievedly.

"We only respect true strength. We don't care even if Lord An blames us!"

Lu Renjia glared at them even more angrily: "Do you know who he is? He is the champion of the Jinyulou Fighting Competition!"

"what?!"

The three of them widened their eyes in shock.

They only knew that Lu Renjia was the second place in the martial arts competition and his strength was already quite impressive.

The first place winner disappeared after winning the competition and has never been seen in the world before. I didn’t expect him to appear here.

The news shocked them so much that cold sweat ran down their backs.

What kind of great person did they offend? !

The three of them knelt down and begged for mercy.

Lu Renjia also hurriedly pleaded: "Brother Long, these three people are blind and have offended you. Please be merciful."

Gu Mingzhao looked around at the mess and said, "How can I forgive them for smashing my place like this?"

"Why don't you get up and clean up!" Lu Renjia ordered.

He took three people and began to clean up the scene.

After they finished cleaning up, the three of them stood aside in fear and trepidation: "Master Long, do you have any other instructions?"

"You just scared my brother," Gu Mingzhao pointed at Liao Qinglan, "You must compensate him. Each of you should take out 1,000 taels of silver."

"what!"

The three of them exclaimed, this is simply blackmail!

Especially since Liao Qinglan is now alive and kicking, the three of them are beaten and covered with bruises.

They obviously need compensation more!

"Any objections?" Gu Mingzhao asked coldly.

"No problem, no problem." Lu Renjia answered for them.

He winked at the three of them, indicating that they should take out the money.

The three of them reluctantly took out the silver bills and presented them with both hands.

Gu Mingzhao handed the banknote to Liao Qinglan.

Liao Qinglan happily took the banknote and said righteously, "Let it go this time, but if you dare to bully the good again in the future, I won't let you off so easily!"

The three men nodded in agreement.

Only then did Gu Mingzhao wave his hand and signal them to leave.
