Lan Zichu had just stepped out of the tent when a youth in black walked towards him. With a quick glance, he saw that the black-robed youth was handsome and his footsteps were light. It was obvious that he was skilled in martial arts. Lan Zichu didn't stay for long, holding Haoyue Yi's hand and pretending to be in love as they followed behind Yin Chao.
The young man lifted the tent and walked in quickly. He hurriedly bowed to the winding crimson and said in a powerful voice, Master, I intercepted a secret letter from a spy from Yueli Kingdom on my way here. He had wanted to capture him alive and interrogate him, but the spy had committed suicide by taking poison. However, I can be sure that this secret letter was sent to the Daliu Kingdom. This subordinate did not do his job well, please punish him.”
After saying that, he knelt on one knee and took out a bamboo tube from his chest. Sindy lazily took the bamboo tube and pulled out a thin piece of paper. There were only a few words on the paper: " Get rid of the Princess."
After looking at it, a faint smile appeared on Sindy's devilish face, and his voice sounded a little lazy.""Get up first. There's still a mission waiting for you.”The young man kneeling on the ground stood up and cupped his hands."Thank you, Master."
Sindy walked closer to the young man and whispered a few instructions into his ear with her hand covering her mouth. " Hurry up and come back. If you fail this mission, you can go to the Shadow Bureau to receive your punishment," Cindy said softly as she turned around and sat back down. "Yes, Zimo."
After saying that, he disappeared like a gust of wind, leaving behind a pair of phoenix eyes staring at the secret letter. Then, Cindy looked at the burning note in the incense burner and smiled wickedly.
"We're here. Young Master Lan and Madam, please make do with this place for the time being. I'll send someone to bring wine, food, and clothes for Young Master and Madam. If you need them, Young Master can ask the servants to inform me.”Yin Chao led Lan Zichu and Hao Yueyi to a tent not far away. He then said to the servant beside him,""You, follow me to prepare food, wine, and clothes for Young Master Lan and his wife.”After saying that, he nodded at Lan Zichu and turned to leave. Lan Zichu and Haoyue Yi lifted the curtain and walked into the tent.
Although the furnishings in this tent were not as luxurious as Cindy's, it had everything that one needed. It was clear how thoughtful the owner was. In the middle of the tent, there was a marble desk that was about ten feet long and one foot wide. On the desk, there were all kinds of famous people's calligraphy, and there were dozens of precious inkstones. There was a beautiful marble bed in the middle, with exquisite auspicious patterns carved on it. There were a few rosewood chairs and an exquisite round table filled with teacups, teapots, teacups, saucers, and other high-quality white jade tea sets. There was a purple-gold incense burner emitting an unknown fragrance and two blue glass vases. There was an exquisitely carved wooden bed, embroidered quilt, and a small sachet hanging on the hook of the curtain, emitting a faint fragrance. The light green and transparent gauze curtain hung low, creating a hazy atmosphere. There was a jade screen in front of the bed, and on the screen was a painting of a majestic landscape illuminated by a red sun. There was a wooden tub for bathing behind the screen, which was more than enough to fit two people.
Haoyue Yi looked around the room and smiled."Hmm, not bad. Let's make do for one night.”Lan Zichu walked around Haoyue Yi and came to the study table. He sat on the rose chair and casually flipped through the calligraphy on the table.
Seeing that Lan Zichu didn't say anything, Hao Yuyi walked towards Lan Zichu unhappily and punched him. This unexpected punch landed on Lan Zichu's injured arm, and red blood flowed out from the scab wound.
Not expecting to hit Lan Zichu's wound, Hao Yueyi said embarrassedly,""Um…I'm sorry, I forgot that you were injured. Does it hurt?" After saying that, he pulled Lan Zichu's injured arm and looked at it. Lan Zichu's face was stiff as he snorted coldly,""Do you think it hurts? Why don't you try taking a sword strike? Stay away from me."
Haoyue Yi was a little angry. She frowned and opened her pink lips, muttering,"Really…a dog biting a Lu Dongbin, not knowing a good person's heart.”
She turned around angrily and walked to the round table, playing with the white jade teacup in boredom. The tent instantly became quiet again, but Haoyue Yi, who looked bored on the surface, was not calm on the inside. Everything tonight was too unusual. First, the carriage went out of control. Then, they encountered an assassin. Then, Lan Zichu, who they didn't know, saved them. Now, they met Xin Di, who was obviously of extraordinary status. The questions were like an invisible net that covered Haoyue Yi. There were too many questions that needed to be carefully considered. She was worried about Liusu and Wu Yixuan's situation. She didn't know if Wu Yixuan could escape from danger in his current state. Moreover, he was carrying Liusu who didn't know martial arts. She was afraid that he would be in trouble. He sighed lightly and turned to look at Lan Zichu, who was dressed in white. What kind of man was this? How could he appear so coincidentally? Was he really just passing by, or was there another conspiracy…Lan Zichu's white clothes were stained with blood, and his hair was disheveled. A few strands of hair fell from his white headband and covered half of his face, but his well-defined side profile was still handsome and cold under the flickering candlelight. Beside the desk, Lan Zichu, who was concentrating on reading the invitation, felt a gaze on him. He raised his head and met Haoyue Yi's clear eyes. Sensing Hao Yueyi's strange behavior, Lan Zichu asked indifferently,""Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that you can see flowers on my face?”
Since he had been discovered, Hao Yueyi simply held up his little face with one hand and blinked his big eyes at Lan Zichu. He pretended to be innocent and asked,"I'm very curious. Who are you? Why did you save me?"
Lan Zichu didn't expect Haoyue Yi to ask this question, he said lightly,"I told you my name, but I can only tell you that I have something important to do. I happened to pass by and saved you. It was just a coincidence.”
Obviously, this answer did not satisfy Haoyue Yi. He put down the white jade teacup in his hand and stood up calmly. With one hand on the desk and the other holding Lan Zichu in a half-circle on the rose chair, she leaned her palm-sized little face closer to Lan Zichu and said,"Do you think I would believe that a stranger would pull out his sword to help me and fight to the death? Moreover, you know that I'm the princess who went to the Daliu Kingdom for marriage. Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to my beauty.”
Haoyue Yi's pair of beautiful black eyes stared unblinkingly at Lan Zichu's handsome face, not letting go of any expression on his face. Hao Yue Yi's sudden approach made Lan Zichu inexplicably nervous. Although the small face in front of her was covered in ugly red marks due to the effects of the potion, it could not hide that delicate and beautiful face. A pair of clear and beautiful eyes were as attractive as a deep pool, causing people to involuntarily sink in. Her eyelashes, which were as long and thin as butterfly wings, trembled slightly. Her skin was fair and smooth, and it was fragile.
Their faces were so close that they almost touched each other, and their hot breaths greeted their faces. Lan Zichu realized the strange atmosphere and was about to stand up and push Hao Yueyi away.
Who knew that Lan Zichu's face would touch Haoyue Yi's lips as soon as he got up. Haoyue Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly retreated three steps away from Lan Zichu with a red face.
At this moment, a little girl in a pink dress walked in with a change of clothes in her hand. She said respectfully,"Young Master and Furen should have a good rest. This servant has prepared some food and wine and will bring them in in a while.”# Review: hch471000 Time:111420183: 30PM #Cancel review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
