Chang 'an, night.
Perhaps it was because of the atmosphere in the royal court, but the night market by the Qu River Pool had become a bit deserted.
With his head lowered, a man covered in a hooded black windbreaker walked by the Qu River.
Under the hood, no one could see his face clearly. However, the pair of hands that were occasionally revealed as he walked appeared pale and terrifying under the cool moonlight.
Perhaps the man's aura was too cold, so the people in the night market subconsciously distanced themselves from him.
Until a certain moment.
"Guest, do you want a drawing book?"
A wicked voice sounded.
The people who frequented the night market in Qu Jiang Pool immediately knew who the speaker was.
Everyone looked over and revealed expressions of " I knew it ". However, when they saw the man wearing a satchel, they could not help but sigh in their hearts. They really wanted money more than their lives. That person was obviously a killing god. Gu Kaizhi, this old pervert, actually dared to go up to him.
Gu Kaizhi was completely oblivious to the gazes of the people behind him. He was originally a handsome man with a hint of elegance, but when he smiled, his eyes inevitably had a hint of wretchedness.
Patting his bag, Gu Kaizhi was still trying his best to promote his goods.
"To be objective, these words were supposed to be exciting!”
"A true copy!"
"Imperial Court's forbidden book!"
" If you're not married yet, this painting book can help you relieve your loneliness. If you already have a wife, it can also increase the fun in the boudoir…Hehe…Hehehehe…"
When Gu Kaizhi was almost done speaking, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly came from under the hood.
"Interesting."
Hearing this voice, Gu Kaizhi's expression changed drastically.
He subconsciously wanted to run, but before he could turn around, the person reached out and grabbed his shoulder.
The man's grip was so strong that it hurt Gu Kaizhi's shoulder.
"Why are you running? Didn't you want to recommend it to me?"
"Master…you…you must be joking!”
Gu Kaizhi's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Damn it, how did I meet such a fiend!？
"Heh…Daren was right. You're really a bastard.”
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm a bastard! I'm a bastard! Sir System, can you pretend you didn't see me? Also, please don't tell Milord…I've gone through a lot to preserve this painting…"
"I don't have to tell you if you want me to."
The man's hoarse voice sounded again.
"Call your boss over. I'll wait for him here.”
Boss?
Gu Kaizhi gulped and glanced in the direction of the Great Ming Palace as if he had thought of something.
Gu Kaizhi's expression turned serious as he nodded and disappeared into the crowd.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, a pleasure boat slowly docked and stopped right beside the man.
When the wooden plank was lifted up, the man waved his sleeves and stepped onto the wooden plank with the night breeze.
Under the lead of the woman, the man arrived at the second floor of the pleasure boat. Then, he saw the person sitting by the window and smiling at him.
"What a rare guest. I didn't expect you to come personally.”
The eyes of the owner of the pleasure boat were as gentle as jade, and there was a refined aura in his actions, as if he was an elegant young master carefully nurtured by a thousand-year-old family.
After the invited person sat down, the noble young master personally filled his wine cup.
"You know I don't drink."
"It's rare for you to come here. Can't you have a drink with me, Wenhe?”
The man who was called Wen He finally took off his hood, revealing a handsome but somewhat sinister face.
After that, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe picked up the wine cup in front of them. They hesitated for a moment before downing it in one gulp.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu smiled in satisfaction.
His slightly narrow eyes swept across Jia Xu's face, then he turned to look out the window.
From this angle, he could see the direction of the Eastern Palace.
"Since you were able to leave the Eastern Palace and come to me, it must be because that person is going to make a move tonight, right?”
"You already know."
Jia Xu snorted.
He hated Zhou Yu for this, and he didn't like to talk nonsense.
"You can't do this, Wenhe. His Highness also said that people should be more sunny. You are so gloomy, which little girl will like you? Why don't…I find you a wife?”
Zhou Yu's eyes were smiling, but he was not surprised by Jia Xu's gloominess.
The two of them had known each other for a long time, and they both knew what kind of person the other was.
Speaking of which, if they weren't under Bai Musheng's command, Zhou Yu thought that he wouldn't be able to get along with Jia Xu, right?
"Is Your Highness well?"
"Everything is normal." Zhou Yu confidently revealed a row of white jade-like teeth." The outlaws of all walks of life will make sure that none of the people sent by the Eastern Palace who could really threaten Your Highness can reach Your Highness.”
Jia Xu said no more.
He believed that since Zhou Yu, who controlled the martial world of Da Qi, had said so, there would definitely be no mistake.
Thinking of this, Jia Xu let out a breath of turbid air.
After tonight, he no longer needed to go to Bai Mu Yun's side and play along with that idiot.
However…
What should he do in the future?
Jia Xu looked at the cold moon outside the window in confusion.
He was already used to walking in the dark.
