Chapter 182 - 182 Covering the Sky182 Covering the Sky
Xia Houqing licked the blood from his lower lip in boredom. He suddenly stood up and lazily said,
“It’s getting late. I’m tired.”
Xia Houqing left just like that, walking away with the tung oil umbrella.
Other than the sleeves that had been cut off, his red robe was not stained by the mud and snow on the ground.
!!
The silver-haired old man followed closely behind.
They did not leave the manor and continued to stay here, as if they were just ordinary passersby.
It was cold, and Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei did not sit in the pavilion for long. They walked towards the main courtyard together.
Gu Yuan and Si Hai followed behind them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTowards the end, she felt a faint smell of gunpowder lingering at the tip of her nose. Her steps were unsteady, and she was still a little shocked by the calamity.
The wind had begun to pick up again, blowing the lantern slightly from Juan Bi’s hand. The dim yellow light swayed, and light and shadow intertwined.
Layers of dark clouds covered most of the moon and stars, as if the next snowstorm would return at any moment.
“Why are you here?” Gu Yanfei blinked and asked Chu Yi with a smile. She put the short sword on her waist and walked valiantly but elegantly, chatting and laughing.
It was as if the life-and-death crisis just now had left no trace in her heart.
Meeting her eyes that were as bright as stars, Chu Yi chuckled and explained, “I saw that the snowstorm was heavy tonight and you didn’t return to the residence at this time. I thought that something had happened on the way, so I brought people over immediately.”
Seeing the two people in front of him chatting happily, Gu Yuan, who was two steps behind, paused. He could hear a hint of praise in Chu Yi’s casual words.
Gu Yuan glanced sideways at Chu Yi, who was smiling like the spring breeze. He could not help but feel the sour feeling of jealousy.
Gu Yuan was on duty today. After returning to the capital from the hunting ground, he stayed in the palace.
Before nightfall, his servant, Wu Tong, rushed over to tell him that Juan Bi had sent someone back to the residence to report, but Madam had not arranged for a carriage to pick up the Second Lady.
Gu Yuan was immediately anxious and immediately went to look for Chu Yi to ask for leave. He planned to pick his sister up personally and told Chu Yi about his sister being trapped in the manor by the heavy snow.
Chu Yi’s expression instantly changed. He threw away the half-carved seal in his hand and immediately ordered someone to leave the capital with him.
At that time, Gu Yuan was still in a daze. He felt that his sister was at least in the Gu family’s own manor, so it was not that urgent.
Also, why was the Eldest Prince following him when he was going to pick up his sister?!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the manor, Gu Yuan felt that there were experts lying in ambush. He was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. Only then did he understand why Chu Yi was so anxious?!
Fortunately!
Gu Yuan let out a long breath.
It was only now that he was completely relieved. Warmth returned to his cold heart, and he thought to himself, ‘As long as my sister is fine.’
“Chu Yi.” In front, Gu Yanfei’s brisk voice sounded again with a hint of curiosity. “Did you meet Baili Yin on the way?”
Hearing Baili Yin’s name, Gu Yuan pursed his thin lips, and his expression became strange again.
Originally, he had planned to get his scoundrel friends to put a sack on Baili Yin tonight. Now, he would have to find another time.
Chu Yi looked sideways at Gu Yanfei with a gentle and quiet smile. “We did meet, but we didn’t alarm him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBaili Yin was in the capital, but he thought that he could hide his whereabouts like he did in the State of Yue, and felt that he could hide it from the world. In fact, Chu Yi knew the moment he left the capital at dusk and ordered someone to follow him secretly.
The subordinates Baili Yin had brought out of the capital on this trip were all elites. They were filled with killing intent and were obviously going to ambush someone.
Originally, Chu Yi only needed to wait and see.
Who would have thought…
Chu Yi stared at Gu Yanfei without blinking. Thinking about how she had been implicated for no reason today, he almost…
His pale fingers, hidden in his sleeve, curled slightly.
Chu Yi quickly controlled his emotions and continued as if nothing had happened, “He’s already returned to the capital.”
At that time, when he saw a red light suddenly rise from the direction of the manor, Baili Yin’s expression changed drastically. He had immediately turned around and returned to the capital.
Chu Yi knew that something was wrong and rushed over.
A cold evening breeze blew in his face. Chu Yi’s eyelashes fluttered twice, and his eyes darkened.
Gu Yanfei smiled faintly and said, “It seems that Baili Yin is very afraid of Young Master Xia Hou.”
“Indeed,” Chu Yi said gently. “Baili Yin and his eldest brother, Baili Zhao, have been afraid of Xia Houqing for a long time.”
