EBE Chapter 153 Peach Blossom Letter.
Chapter 153 Peach Blossom Letter.
Pei Zhijin was afraid that Jiang Xue would not be able to bear it, so he walked neither fast nor slow along the way. However, Jiang Xue was very anxious, so she abandoned the carriage and rode a horse to hurry on.
After three days and three nights of non-stop driving, they finally arrived in Anzhou. It was already dark at this time, so they found an inn to stay the night. While they were eating downstairs.
I heard three people chatting at the table next to me.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that the Queen Mother might not be able to make it." A person nearby spoke in a low voice to the other two.
One of the two men asked, "How did you know?"
"I have a distant relative who came to Anzhou to do business. He told me when we were drinking that the Queen Mother was recruiting miracle doctors from the public, saying that he had a serious headache and was having nightmares every day."
"Your relative could have heard such a confidential matter. It couldn't be a rumor, could it?"
"No, the news has spread all over the capital. They say it's because the Queen Mother always controlled the government and she got her retribution."
"Okay, let's stop talking about what's happening in the capital. Be careful not to lose your head." One of them kindly reminded.
The two people next to him nodded in agreement and concentrated on eating.
Gu Yu looked at Pei Zhijin who was drinking tea and asked curiously, "Master Pei, is what they said true?"
Pei Zhijin glanced at Gu Yu with deep eyes and ignored him.
Jiang Xue said from the side: "The Queen Mother is a dictator, it is only a matter of time before she gives up power."
Gu Yu's eyebrows moved, and he leaned towards Jiang Xue and asked, "I heard that your father was framed and imprisoned. How is he now?"
Jiang Xue rolled her eyes at Gu Yu, picked up the chopsticks, picked up some vegetables for herself and put them in the bowl, saying, "You don't need to worry about my affairs."
"Hey, that's not right. Lord Pei and I are brothers, so you are naturally my sister-in-law. What's wrong with a younger brother caring about his sister-in-law?"
"Get out!" Jiang Xue spat out one word.
Gu Yu shut up tactfully, and then looked at Pei Zhijin. Before he could speak, Pei Zhijin said, "If you have nothing to do, go out and feed the horses."
"I..." Gu Yu hesitated, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said, "I won't talk anymore, okay?"
Just as they quieted down, the waiter came in from outside and walked towards Jiang Xue, holding a letter in his hand.
"Girl, someone outside asked me to give you this letter."
Jiang Xue looked over and saw the shape of peach blossoms printed on the white envelope. Her eyes moved slightly, she took the envelope, handed some change to the waiter, and hurriedly opened the envelope.
Gu Yu came over curiously, "What does the letter say?"
After reading the letter, Jiang Xue gave it to Gu Yu, who took it in his hand and read it carefully, and then handed it to Pei Zhijin. Pei Zhijin took a look at it, then looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Wang Ziyan destroyed many secret agents of Fengyun Tower along the way. I'm afraid the people of Fengyun Tower will not let him go."
"Do the people in Fengyun Tower know that Wang Ziyan is the boss of Yingtang?"
Pei Zhijin shook his head, "I didn't know before, but whether I know it now or not...I have no way of knowing."
Gu Yu slapped his palm on the table and said seriously, "It's all because of this guy Wang Ziyan that Yi Yi was taken away by the people from Fengyun Tower."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Xue asked.
"You don't know?" Gu Yu asked with a raised eyebrow.
When Pei Zhijin saw this and tried to stop Gu Yu from speaking, Gu Yu directly said, "The people from Fengyun Tower wanted to know who the owner of Yingtang was, so they arrested Yiyi."
Jiang Xue clenched her fists fiercely after hearing this. As expected, Fengyun Tower was for the Shadow Hall. She stood up and picked up the letter on the table, then said softly, "I'm tired. I'm going upstairs to rest first."
Pei Zhijin nodded.
Jiang Xue went upstairs. Gu Yu looked at Jiang Xue's back, which was hidden by the columns on the second floor, and hurriedly looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Hey, why do I feel like Jiang Xue is hiding something from us?"
Pei Zhijin was not stupid. On the way out of Xuzhou, he felt that Jiang Xue was hiding something from them, especially the romantic letters that she sent every three days. Who sent them the letters?
And what is Jiang Xue hiding?
A trace of worry flashed across Pei Zhijin's eyes. He was afraid that Jiang Xue would do something alone.
"Lord Pei?" Gu Yu looked at Pei Zhijin in a daze and waved his hand in front of his eyes.
Pei Zhijin came back to his senses, looked at Gu Yu's face that was so close to him, and quickly pushed Gu Yu's face away with a look of disgust, "Stay away from me."
Gu Yu had never been despised by anyone before. He pulled a stool and sat down in front of Pei Zhijin, saying, "If anyone is going to despise me, I'm the one who despises you." Then he drank the teacup in front of Pei Zhijin in one gulp.
Pei Zhijin looked at Gu Yu's shameless appearance and stood up and said, "Since you have nothing to do, go to the capital and collect evidence of the Queen Mother's crimes with Wenchuan."
"What?" Gu Yu stood up immediately and said, "I'm not going. I want to go find Yiyi."
"This is an order!" Pei Zhijin said seriously.
"I..." Gu Yu said aggrievedly: "Brother, although I am your subordinate, I am also your brother. Can I not go?"
"Obey orders." Pei Zhijin frowned.
Gu Yu knew that there would be no room for maneuver after Pei Zhijin had spoken his mind, so he had to rush to the capital overnight. He complained a lot on the way, and when he was riding past a small forest, he angrily used his internal force to knock down several trees.
All the birds hiding in the trees flew up.
Bird: “….”
Beijing.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard on the deserted street. Prince Yan stopped on the street on his horse. The moonlight made his shadow particularly long.
Wang Ziyan whistled seriously, and Ah Hui and Ah Tong immediately ran out from the dark and said respectfully to Wang Ziyan on horseback: "Sir, the location of Fengyun Tower is very secret. We haven't found out yet, but we have found out that Qianyu Casino is a dealer in Fengyun Tower."
"Take people there immediately, and... spread the news that the head of the Shadow Hall has arrived in the capital."
Ah Hui frowned and said worriedly, "Boss, you will be in danger if this happens."
"What about Yiyi? Is she not in danger?" Wang Ziyan's eyes were bloodshot.
Ah Hui immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Wang Ziyan.
Atong took out the mask and handed it to Wang Ziyan, saying, "Sir, put on the mask."
“No need.” After refusing, Wang Ziyan pulled the reins tightly and ran towards Qianyu Casino.
Atong patted Ah Hui who was looking down and said, "Don't just stand there. If you feel guilty, do your best to rescue Miss Yiyi."
Ah Hui nodded, then he and Ah Tong quickly ran towards Qianyu Casino.
In a woods three miles outside the capital, a figure was shuttling back and forth in the woods. In the moonlight, the leaves on the trees shone on the figure, spots on his body, and the leaves swayed back and forth. The figure was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
It was not until he ran to the cliff at the end of the woods that the man's appearance appeared in the moonlight. He was wearing a nightgown, holding a knife in his hand, with his face covered. His tiny eyes were fixed on the abyss below the cliff.
Then he whistled downwards, and the whistle echoed to the bottom of the cliff. Soon after, there was sudden movement below, with a creaking sound, and a simple little house was slowly brought up.
The man in black quickly turned over and went in, and then the small house slowly moved down.
Until we sank deep into the cliff, a tall building suddenly appeared. It had hanging corners and layers of peaks. There were copper-green bells hanging on the corners. When the wind blew, the bells swayed and made crisp sounds.
