Without practicing the Hehuan skill, the crazy leader has infinite charm

Chapter 94: No One Can Sleep

Yao Jia had just fallen asleep when she heard a fighting in the yard. She put on her clothes and opened the door.

As soon as I looked, I saw two figures, one black and one red, fighting in the yard.

Yao Jia didn't expect Huaichuan to come back, and she didn't expect that Gu Xiyan would dare to come here to find her.

However, he did not stop the two of them. He just sat on the steps and watched them fight.

Although Gu Xiyan was good at martial arts, he had no weapons to defend himself and soon fell into a disadvantage.

In addition, when he saw Yao Jia coming out of the house, he was careless for a moment and was cut on the arm by Huaichuan's sword.

Huaichuan's attack was extremely ruthless, and he showed no intention of stopping.

I saw the sword was about to stab towards Gu Xiyan again.

Yao Jia suddenly stood up and screamed, "Stop!"

When Huaichuan heard Yaojia's voice, he paused and retracted his sword.

Gu Xiyan took the opportunity to withdraw from the battle circle, covering his wound, and looked at Yao Jia with a wronged look.

Yao Jia walked up to Gu Xiyan, looked at the blood oozing from his arm, frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Xiyan did not answer. After looking at Yao Jia for a moment, he glared at Huaichuan with a grim look and said in a bad tone, "Why do you want to kill me?"

Just now, every move he made was deadly. It seemed that he had never committed any crime against Huaichuan, so why did he want to kill him?

Yao Jia was also very curious as to why Huaichuan was so hostile towards Gu Xiyan as soon as he came back.

Huaichuan smiled coldly, "Do you really not know? Or are you pretending to be confused? Madam Gu humiliated my master in public today, and then called my master an ominous person. Don't you know about this!"

Gu Xiyan was stunned. He really didn't know about this. Could it be that it happened after he ran away?

However, after hearing Huaichuan say this, Yaojia did not refute it, so she thought it must be true.

He immediately looked at Yao Jia and said nervously, "Jia Jia, I don't know anything about this. Don't worry, I will go find my mother and ask her to apologize to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped out of the yard.

Yao Jia would not wait for him to bring Madam Gu over to apologize. Given Madam Gu's personality, it would be impossible for her to apologize in person. He was afraid that he would never come back if he went back.

He looked at Huaichuan and smiled: "When did you come back? How do you know what happened today?"

"I came back in the evening. Unfortunately, Yaoyao was taking a bath, so I went to sit in Senior Brother Ming's room for a while. Later, Qingzhu said that you were drunk, and Senior Brother came to see you, so I talked to Qingzhu for a while."

Yao Jia laughed, "Qingzhu is such a quick talker."

The two of them sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard.

In the night sky, a bright full moon hangs high, and the moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the courtyard. Everything is quiet, and only the breeze gently blows through the treetops, bringing a hint of coolness.

Yao Jia shuddered unconsciously.

Huaichuan immediately took out a cloak from the house, put it on Yaojia, and sat in the wind to block the cool wind for her.

Yao Jia felt a little warm in her heart and looked Huaichuan up and down. She had just seen him fighting with Gu Xiyan and his movements were agile, so he thought he should not be injured.

Just now, Yao Jia was only concerned about Gu Xiyan's nervousness, but now that she had calmed down, she felt a little dizzy.

She leaned on Huaichuan, rested her head on his shoulder, and spoke softly.

"Is the journey easy?"

"It's easy. Lord Qi is good at martial arts, so I don't need to do anything. But since you sent me, I can't refuse you. I've taken good care of you along the way."

"Is that so? It seems like I'm being too nosy." Yao Jia took Huaichuan's arm and leaned her head upwards.

Huaichuan's arm, which was held by her, stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed. He pulled Yaojia closer to him, allowing her to lean more comfortably.

He said in a gentle tone, "I was lying to you. Lord Qi is just a civil servant, how could he know any martial arts? Fortunately, I was with him, otherwise he would have been silenced by the people sent by Chen Ying."

Yao Jia was startled and stood up immediately. She grabbed Huaichuan's hand and asked nervously, "What about you? Are you injured?"

Huaichuan ignored the aching arm, shook his head, and pressed Yaojia's head back onto his shoulder.

He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Of course not. Don't you know my martial arts? How could an ordinary assassin get close to me?"

Yao Jia was relieved, and said with some fear: "It's great that Lord Qi is okay. Do you know who ordered the assassin?"

"Of course I know. As soon as I sent the account book over, four or five waves of assassins came one after another. Later, we left a few of them alive and used some tricks to find out the mastermind behind the scenes."

"It's Chen Ying!" Yao Jia said with certainty.

"Exactly this person."

Yao Jia sneered, "Chen Ying is really desperate this time. He even sent people to assassinate the imperial officials. I wonder how the emperor can protect him this time."

I thought that the incident between Meng Zhi and Concubine Shu last time would bring him down completely, but the emperor only dismissed him from his post. This time he was so bold in assassinating Qi Huan that he touched the emperor's reverse scale.

Yao Jia remembered that the emperor in the previous life admired Qi Huan very much, not only because he was smart and capable and honest, but also because he was the younger brother of the late Concubine Qi.

The emperor would be uneasy if a palace where Concubine Qi had lived for several years caught fire. It would be unjustifiable not to punish the murderer when the brother of his beloved was assassinated.

Moreover, there is now evidence of Chen Ying's corruption, and with Qi Huan manipulating him, I believe it won't be long before he falls.

It's really a case of bringing trouble upon oneself.

Yao Jia suddenly felt extremely relaxed.

Huaichuan looked at Yaojia's comfortable expression and couldn't help but curl his lips, as if the wound on his shoulder no longer hurt.

Perhaps Mingjue's hangover medicine took effect, Yaojia fell asleep on Huaichuan's shoulder without realizing it.

Huaichuan felt Yaojia's even breathing on his shoulder, and his heart softened.

He stretched out his long arms, picked up Yao Jia and carried her into the house.

Just as Yao Jia expected, Gu Xiyan never left Gujiabao after returning.

When Mrs. Gu heard him ask her to apologize to Yao Jia, she was stunned for a long time. She directly ordered the servants to give him thirty lashes of the cane and locked him in the room to reflect on his mistakes.

"What an ungrateful person! He made me angry just for an outsider and asked me to apologize to that yellow-haired girl. He is really a rebellion."

Fort Master Gu advised earnestly: "Madam, I have scolded you and beaten you, so please don't get angry anymore."

He sighed and continued, "But what we did today was wrong. People came all the way here to celebrate Sanlang's birthday, and you...why did you say that right away, and even said you wanted to cancel the engagement."

Although Lord Gu felt that breaking off the engagement was no big deal, he felt helpless that it had to be done in such an ignominious way.

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu turned her head away and began to wipe away her tears. "If Dalang and Erlang were still here, it would be great. He can make as much trouble as he wants, but he is my only child. Seeing him grovelling in front of that yellow-haired girl, I feel so bad..."

Madam Gu paused, as if she had thought of something, and wiped her tears and said, "I guess after Sanlang gets better, he will definitely go to Kyoto to find Nangong Jiayao, so why not let Qu Hao take him away."

Fortress Master Gu looked at her in surprise, "Didn't you not want Sanlang to join the army? Why..."

Madam Gu said: "Nowadays, the world is peaceful and prosperous. There is no war to fight even if we go to the border. It is better to follow Qu Hao and cultivate your character, and stop thinking about love all day long."

Fort Lord Gu pondered for a while and felt that it made sense. Six years ago, Daliang invaded and he and his wife lost their two beloved sons. Now that the country was peaceful and prosperous, it would not be a harm for the younger son to go and cultivate his character.

Even if a war really breaks out, Qu Hao will not really let Sanlang charge into battle.
