I RELY ON BREASTFEEDING TO STABILISE THE DISEASE (35)
35. BEAUTIFUL LOVER
Chu Ran tried hard to pull out a smile, but after a few attempts, she was unsuccessful and it looked like facial cramps: "Why are you telling me this..."
Gu Xian tilted his head: "Because... you said you would come with me."
Swoosh —
A gust of wind came and the diagonally woven rain continues to hit them.
Chu Ran was worried: I just want to live well, can you be a good idle prince?
After walking around in the street, Gu Xian was inquiring about news all the way. Chu Ran was so startled by his previous "big words" that she didn't know what to say, and followed him in silence. Gu Xian didn't say anything when he saw her being silent, he pressed the umbrella closer to her side, trying to keep her from being exposed to the rain.
Sun Shangcheng also figured out the situation in the city.
Gu Xian didn't plan to enter the city, but built a simple shed three miles outside the city, and arranged for a manual registration of the people to pick up the materials outside the city.
After receiving the material, the people spread the news in the city one after another. The people in the city saw that everyone could receive it, and it was not as what they said in the rumors that they didn't want to care about the life and death of the people. So they also went out of the city to receive the materials.
Seeing that the people were receiving the materials in an orderly manner, Chu Ran was relieved that they quelled a possible riot.
Gu Xian entered the city with one-third of the material left.
In the post office of the prefect of Longzhou, the prefect, Wang Daijie, walked back and forth with his hands in place, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
There was an order from above to spread rumors when Hengnan Wang came to Longzhou, so that he would delay the relief work. And take enough time to make the disaster more serious. When the time comes, Hengnan Wang will not escape the emperor's punishment, and the ministers of the court will also criticize him. This was the best time to suppress him.
But at this time, Hengnan Wang had already handed out the relief materials safely to the people, and it seems that he won't be able to keep his official hat.
Taking off his official hat irritably, Wang Daijie felt ill at ease, as if something immeasurable would happen next.
With a "swish", a sharp arrow pierced into the pillar next to him. Wang Daijie was shocked. Seeing a cloth strip tied to the arrow, he pulled out the arrow and took off the cloth strip.
After reading the words on the cloth strip, his back was chilled instantly and he got up in a cold sweat.
The banner says "Kill without mercy"
This was an order for Hengnan Wang to be killed in Longzhou.
Wang Daijie's heart jumped heavily.
Over the years, he was really bold and reckless. In Longzhou, except for Zeming Wang, he had the final say. It was not a good thing to extort people's money, but it was only limited to this place in Longzhou. If he was asked to kill a prince, he really might not have the courage.
If he does not do it, those above will not let him go. Now he can only take one step at a time and see what happens. For now, he must first welcome Hengnan Wang into the city.
Wang Daijie took his subordinates to welcome Heng Nan Wang, and arranged the remaining materials in the warehouse of the prefect. He wanted to arrange Gu Xian and the others in his own residence, but Gu Xian refused and found the best inn to settle down.
In the city of Longzhou, the night was clear and cold, and the lights on both sides of the street were shining brightly, stretching the silhouettes of the people on the ground long. When the wind blew, the candlelight shook, and the shadows on the ground flickered slightly. Gu Qianyu didn't speak for a long while, when the dark guard thought he wouldn't say anything, he suddenly opened his mouth: "How are the things I asked you to prepare before?"
"Subordinates are ready."
Gu Qianyu seemed to laugh, but when he spit out the words, there was a deep chill in it: "Then, let's prepare a big gift for my fifth imperial brother."
Gu Qianyu unknowingly walked to the inn where Chu Ran and the others settled, and stood under the rear window of Chu Ran's guest room.
At that moment, he was like a man under the moonlight, waiting for his beloved woman to open the window and see his heart beating with joy.
Sure enough, he waited until the woman opened the window, but it was a pity that what he saw was not joy but shock.
Gu Xian went out to socialize with local officials in Longzhou and Chu Ran stayed alone in the inn. She opened the window get some fresh air and glanced outside casually. This look almost scared her away.
A few steps away, Gu Qianyu was standing there.
His body was leaning halfway under the tree, and the bright moonlight from the sky sprinkled a hazy light, the shadows on the ground stretched very long. She couldn't see his expression clearly from a distance, and she could vaguely feel that his narrow phoenix eyes were looking at her fixedly. Don't know how long he have been standing there.
The fear of Gu Qianyu was deeply ingrained in her bones, and she subconsciously took two steps back.
Gu Qianyu raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes narrowed slightly. He flew into her room, only then did Chu Ran remember but it was too late to close the window.
His overly eye-catching face was too close to hers.
"That's how you treat your master. Chu Ran, you are so courageous." Gu Qianyu saw her look guarded all over, and somehow remembered her obedient attitude by Gu Xian's side. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
He walked closer to her in silence.
Chu Ran was like facing an enemy at once.
This, this... Is this taking advantage of the dark and windy night to chop her up in secret?
She couldn't help but stepped back, trying to distance herself from him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qianyu took another step closer.
She dared not move now, and stood stiff and waited for his action.
Her reaction made Gu Qianyu's eyes colder and colder. He looked down at her condescendingly, and said stinging words: "Didn't you take great pains to try to climb into Ben Wang's bed before? What's with this look now? What are you playing at? "
"Who wants you!" She was about to refute when she suddenly realized that he was not talking about her, it sounded more like he was talking about the original owner, so she immediately swallowed the words that she were about to say.
"In order for you to get close to Gu Xian, your whole body's martial arts has been abolished by Been Wang. Have you forgotten that kind of bone-crushing pain?"
Chu Ran heart palpitated. This man was really cruel. She tried to conceal her emotions. However, Gu Qianyu still caught the confusion that flashed in her eyes. He couldn't help but be taken aback, and immediately remembered something. He pursed his thin lips and said in a somewhat surprised manner: "Could it be that you don't remember anything?"
Chu Ran was startled by what he said and raised her eyes to look at him.
"How dare you stare at Ben Wang, be careful, I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Chu Ran's scalp numbed when she heard his words and she immediately lowered her head. Seeing her being silent, Gu Qianyu confirmed his guess. She didn't seem to remember.
What happened to her?
He was so distraught that even Chu Ran was now curious about it, but she didn't dare to ask him. Gu Qianyu gave her a meaningful look, then flew away from the window and left her standing still.
"He just left halfway? Don't you know that people who wheedle others appetites are the most annoying!" Chu Ran muttered in dissatisfaction, staring at the direction he left.
