"This is a matter between men." The man's tone showed no room for hesitation: "It should be solved in a man's way."
"Solved?" Liu Juntian was surprised: "How to solve it?"
"Let her go first. I don't think a woman can make any difference."
Although Liu Juntian was helpless, he finally let go of Gong Yueyue and looked at Ah Chen angrily.
The man then turned around and said calmly: "Do you believe that I can kill your woman with just a leaf?"
"Flying flowers and picking leaves?" Ah Chen's face suddenly changed: "Are you the 'invisible sword' that is widely rumored in the world?"
The man didn't say anything, it was obviously his acquiescence.
"Okay." Ah Chen took a breath of cold air and said, "You can take your brothers and leave, and I won't pursue anything that happened today."
"Thank you, Prince Guangwei." The man bowed to Ah Chen, then turned to look at Liu Juntian: "Let's go."
Although Liu Juntian was still angry, he still listened to the man's words and walked forward.
"Qiong'er, are you okay?" Ah Chen quickly ran over and carefully checked Gong Yueyue's injuries: "It's okay, it's just a flesh injury."
Gong Yueyue didn't say anything, she just glanced in the direction where Liu Juntian disappeared: "Ah Chen, where did that 'Wumang Sword' come from?"
Ah Chen breathed out softly: "About him, there are a lot of rumors in the world, and there are all kinds of things. The general idea is that his identity, origin, martial arts, everything is quite vivid, and -"
"And what?"
"Forget it." Ah Chen suddenly interrupted: "Let's leave quickly. If we don't leave, it will get dark. I don't know if anything will come out of this barren mountain."
It was already midnight when he returned to the Hou Mansion, but Ah Chen was not sleepy at all. After ordering someone to prepare a midnight snack, he went into the study alone. Apparently he wanted to discuss important matters with Shi Jian and others, but Gong Yueyue was thinking about it.
But it's something else.
"lady."
The door creaked, and it was Jin'er who came in carrying a lacquered plate with dishes and rice porridge.
"Jin'er!" When he saw her at first sight, Gong Yueyue was so happy that he stepped forward and grabbed her arm without caring about anything else: "How is the matter?"
In contrast, Jin'er seemed much calmer. He gently placed the lacquer plate on the table, then looked at her and said, "Everything is ready."
"Is it done?" Gong Yueyue was slightly surprised: "Is it done?"
"Yeah." Jin'er nodded.
"Then, did he ask you to bring anything?"
Jin'er shook his head slowly, and Gong Yueyue couldn't help but a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes - Zhao Changyuan, Zhao Changyuan, do you know what kind of risks I took to choose to do this? If you don't appreciate it, then I -
—
"lady."
"Um?"
"He, he said, there is an old saying on the grassland, once the arrow leaves the string, there is no way to take it back."
"That's what he said?"
"Yeah." Jin'er nodded very carefully.
"Okay, I understand, you go and have a rest." After saying that, she looked at her and said: "From now on, you have to be my personal maid. When the time comes, I will find a way to find you a maid.
A good home.”
"Madam." Jin'er plopped down and knelt in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Gong Yueyue was greatly surprised and quickly reached out to help her up: "If you have anything to say, just say it nicely. What are you doing?"
"Madam." Jin'er burst into tears: "Jin'er begs Madam, please save Jin'er's brother!"
"Brother?" Gong Yueyue was surprised: "When did you have a younger brother?"
"Jin'er actually had a younger brother since he was a child, but he was later dispersed by the rebels. Over the years, Jin'er has been asking for news about his younger brother, but he has never gained anything. Just a few days ago, Jin'er went to the street to buy rouge for his wife.
, but met his younger brother at the yamen gate. At that time, he had been beaten half to death. Jin'er finally rescued him to a broken courtyard and took care of him carefully. But yesterday, when Jin'er secretly went to see his younger brother,
But found——"
Her face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she could hardly speak.
"Don't be nervous." Gong Yueyue comforted her softly: "Speak slowly, I will definitely help you if I can help you."
Jin'er sobbed for a while and then said: "Jin'er saw several people in white clothes pressing his brother to the ground, holding strange things in their hands and extracting blood from his body. The brother screamed in pain...
"
"What?" Gong Yueyue was surprised: "There is such a thing in Hedu City?"
"Yes." Jin'er nodded: "I was also frightened at the time, but I didn't know who to turn to for help - Madam, you know that in such troubled times, the life of a person like Jin'er is not valuable at all, as long as he is a little less
Be careful if you offend the powerful, you don’t know what the consequences will be.”
"This matter." Gong Yueyue pondered slightly - first of all, she didn't know exactly what happened to brother Jin'er, and secondly, she never left the boudoir. Even if she had the intention, she might not be able to.
"If I want to help your brother, I must go to the Crown Prince and Hedu City. He is in charge now."
"Jin'er, thank you madam!" Jin'er expressed gratitude and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Okay." Gong Yueyue stretched out her hand to help her up: "No matter how bad this matter is, it will be easily resolved in the end. You, don't be too worried."
"Yeah." Jin'er wiped away her tears and backed out.
Gong Yueyue walked to the table and sat down, silently meditating. She must say that she had never heard of such a thing before - who were those people in white and what did they want to do?
"why are not you sleeping?"
Ah Chen's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Oh." Gong Yueyue came to her senses and stood up to change his clothes.
"Look at your sad face, tell me what's wrong."
"It's Jin'er."
"What's wrong with Jin'er?"
"Jin'er said she found her brother."
"This is a good thing. What are you worried about?" Achen was surprised: "At most, we only have one more person in the house. What is there to worry about?"
"But Jin'er said that his brother was targeted by a group of unknown people."
"what kind of person?"
Gong Yueyue repeated Jin'er's words, but saw Ah Chen frowning in thought.
"Is it possible that you already knew that something like this happened in the city?"
"That's right." Ah Chen nodded; "There have indeed been several cases of refugees dying mysteriously in the city."
"What?!" Gong Yueyue was shocked: "This kind of thing really happens in the city, why have you never mentioned it to me before?"
"Didn't I tell you? The world is not peaceful now. Even if you walk on the street in broad daylight, a rioter might pop up and do evil. That's why I don't want you to leave the house."
Gong Yueyue was silent, and then said: "What do you mean? Do not stop it and allow this kind of thing to continue to happen?"
"No, I have sent my secretary to investigate. I think there will be results within a few days... By the way, where do you think Jin'er's brother is?"
"I know this too. Tomorrow you can send someone to take Jin'er to find him."
"Okay." Ah Chen nodded and patted the back of her hand gently: "Then it's settled, you don't have to worry anymore, just go to sleep quickly."
"I'm not hungry." Gong Yueyue interrupted him a little anxiously: "Then you can't issue a reward order so that capable people from the public can solve this case?"
"Reward?" Ah Chen was slightly startled, obviously a little surprised that she would come up with such an idea.
"That's fine." He nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I'll have someone put up a notice tomorrow offering a reward."
Seeing that he agreed, Gong Yueyue felt relieved - even she herself didn't understand why she cared so much about these things.
"Okay." Ah Chen pushed her gently: "Don't think too much, everything will get better."
"Yes." Gong Yueyue nodded. She didn't know why. It was like there was a rope hanging tightly, making her unable to breathe.
She suddenly reached out and grabbed the table leg.
"What's wrong?" Achen looked at her strangely: "What's wrong? Do you want to call the doctor?"
"No need." Gong Yueyue waved her hand: "I've had this problem since I was a child. Whenever I get nervous, my heart feels like it's being pinched by someone and I can't move."
"Then you go and have a rest. You don't have to take care of the things outside."
"Okay." Gong Yueyue nodded, stood up, walked back to the house, went to bed and lay down.
She really didn't want to pay attention to these things, she was just afraid that these things would come to her for no reason.
Two days later at noon, she and Ah Chen were having dinner when Shi Mo suddenly walked in: "Your Majesty, someone is announcing the announcement outside."
"Really?" Achen raised his eyebrows slightly: "What kind of person is he?"
"The other person looked very strange. His face was expressionless and cold, and he stood there without saying a word."
"Can he solve this case?" Ah Chen took a handful of bean sprouts and put it into his lips, saying calmly.
"I don't know."
"I understand." Ah Chen nodded: "You go down first."
After dinner, Ah Chen wiped his hands, put on his clothes and went out. Gong Yueyue was sitting alone in the room, feeling a little bored, so she went out alone and walked towards the yard. Just after passing the moon cave door, she saw
Suddenly I heard a bird chirping.
When she looked up, the sky was clear and empty, with nothing in it.
Gong Yueyue couldn't help but feel shocked. She quickly hid her body behind a tree and looked intently at no one around. Then she took a deep breath and walked out again.
The bird suddenly chirped again, and Gong Yueyue moved forward again, looking around carefully, and finally found a particularly strange-looking hibiscus flower. She thought about it, walked over and picked it off.
Opening the soft petals, she saw a leaf. She picked up the leaf and brought it to her eyes to look carefully. She found a few lines of small words written on it. Gong Yueyue read it in a hurry, then immediately crushed the leaf into pieces, stuffed it into her sleeves, and put it away.
Tsukuru walked to the edge of the pool as if nothing had happened, raised his hand and threw it in.
alright.
Her mind finally settled down, and now she could free up time to face Ah Chen.
Just when she felt a little comfortable, a white ribbon suddenly flew into the air, wrapped around her waist, and lifted her up. (To be continued)
