"The decision has been made to behead them on a date!" Gong Yu immediately felt his heart being pinched by something. His body felt like it was going through a sudden backward flow of blood. A dizziness overpowered him, blurring his vision.
"Yes. Everyone, including Nanny Wu, was put in jail."
Gong Yu recalled Nanny Wu's kind face. Apart from his mother, she was the only one who really cared for him. When he had been young, he had considered Nanny Wu the most responsible servant. After his mother had died, he had felt that Nanny Wu truly loved him as her own child.
Nanny Wu remembered his personal preferences and every detail of his life and took the best care of him. This made Gong Yu feel bad. How could he watch Nanny Wu being beheaded like that?
Once he turned up, he would just walk into a trap set by Duanmu Gongcheng and Duanmu Gongqi. They wanted him to break into the jail and rescue his people. Then, he would be completel
He lowered his head and kissed her gently as if they were snowflakes falling outside. His tenderness became a part of the illusion, which made Baili Ziyi hard to refuse. Just when she was about to sink, he suddenly stopped the kiss, raised his head and looked straight at her blurry, emotional eyes. "Come back to the country of Mu Xia with me!" Her expression suddenly turned cold, and she tried to escape from his embrace. However, his body didn't move at all, so she didn't succeed. "No." "But you are responsible for your conduct!" "It's you who took advantage of me!" "I just went down on my knees outside. I think my knees are injured. After you kicked them hard, I think they are not going to get better." "That's what you deserve! I didn't make you kneel in the yard!" "I said that if you didn't go back to the country of Mu Xia with me, I would remain on my knee
The result spoke for itself. Kuang Youzhi returned from his trip fruitfully. His trick succeeded and he took his beautiful wife home. While he was in a good mood about returning home with his wife, he didn't know that people in the country of Mu Xia had been looking for him everywhere. After traveling back for half a month, Kuang Youzhi and Baili Ziyi finally arrived at the border between the country of Mu Xia and Zhongxi Country. The border between the two countries was strictly guarded so nobody could easily cross it. Once a trespasser was found on either side, an arrow would just shoot the person down. This was the agreement that the two countries had reached on border management. Therefore, if anyone wanted to cross the border, they had to escape the guards from both countries. There were very few people who could cross the border between the two countries. Rows of dead bodies hanging on bamboo poles had dried up in the su
Kuang Youzhi leaned over and whispered in Baili Ziyi's ears. "Tonight's security has been tightened. Later, I'll cover for you, you should be more careful when you're getting into action!" Just as he stopped talking, a ray of light flashed over to their side. Kuang Youzhi hurriedly covered Baili Ziyi with his arms, bent down, and hid behind a big stone. They were so close to each other. Even though they had been together for 30 years, Baili Ziyi's heart still beat fast. Her heartbeats sounded so loud, in such a quiet night. Kuang Youzhi bent and nibbled Baili Ziyi's earlobe. His breath was especially warm, in such a cold night, and it was tickling her heart. Baili Ziyi wanted to push Kuang Youzhi aside. She moved her hands slightly, but they were immediately grasped by Kuang Youzhi, by the palms. Baili Ziyi's hands were a little cold, but they turned warm within Kuang Youzhi's grasp. Her heart was also getting warmer.
Kuang Youzhi hurriedly blew out the candle, and pulled Baili Ziyi into the cabinet. The kitchen door was opened quickly, as the sound of footsteps approached. Based on the sound, it seemed that there were two people, who had come in. Subsequently, there was a glimmer of light shining through the gap, between the door of the cabinet. A gruff voice said, "Xiao Muyu, go and knead the dough first! I will whip up a few side dishes." A voice that sounded young and tender, immediately answered, "Master, this general truly has his own way of thinking, insisting on eating flatbread, in the middle of the night." The master laughed in a silly manner and said, "Our general simply loves this speciality of mine. Tonight, the general will be on patrol once every two hours, and it is inevitable that he will feel tired. This is the least that we could do." "But Master, why would the general patrol once every two hour
In a fit of pique, Baili Ziyi took one big bite out of the flatbread in her hands, and chewed it furiously, as if she was chewing Kuang Youzhi, instead of the flatbread. Kuang Youzhi shook his head helplessly. He was angry, but he also loved this childish and coquettish wife of his. "Alright, let's hurry and go! Let's leave before the general returns to eat the flatbread!" Baili Ziyi continued to glare at Kuang Youzhi, with a hint of resentment, but she tagged behind Kuang Youzhi obediently, and left. The duo snuffed out the candle once more, and left through the window. The two figures slipped into the dark of the night and avoided wave after wave of patrol guards. They got out of the military camp and went back to the inn. When Baili Ziyi was comfortably and warmly covered on the bed back in the inn, she smiled and took out a small cloth bag from her chest. Upon opening it, it actually contained the flatbread th
Kuang Youzhi could not tell from the expressions of the soldiers if they had good or malicious intentions. He was also uncertain if he should admit or deny anything. Just when Kuang Youzhi was hesitating, a soldier whispered into the ear of another solider, "Lao Mu, do you think that he is really Kuang Youzhi? If he is, then wouldn't he be the general's..." The soldier called Lao Mu, also sized Kuang Youzhi up, and nodded. "If it is true... You keep watch on him. I will go and ask." After Lao Mu sized Kuang Youzhi up once more, he turned and left. Kuang Youzhi looked at his wife, who was tied to the pillar in the distance, and could not help but ask the soldier before him, "Hey little brother, what happened to that woman?" The soldier glanced at Baili Ziyi, who was far away and he casually replied, "That woman was a spy we caught. After a while, we will hand her over to our superior to be dealt with."
Gong Yu looked around, then he bowed and whispered a few words in Kuang Youzhi's ear. Kuang Youzhi looked up and stared at Gong Yu deeply, he frowned and contemplated. After a moment He nodded slowly. "OK! Do as you say!" "However, it is imperative that Xiao Xi's eyes are cured first, otherwise I can't act at ease." Gong Yu's amber eyes were looking at Murong Yunxi; the soft light in them reflected his deep love. Kuang Youzhi also looked at Murong Yunxi and nodded. "Let's go! See how she is doing!" Gong Yu, Kuang Youzhi and Baili Ziyi came to Murong Yunxi's side. When Murong Yunxi heard the footsteps, she stopped to listen. "Gong Yu." Mu Rong Yunxi smiled lightly, and the smile was sincere and sweet. At the moment, her hearing was good enough to easily distinguish familiar sounds. "Xiao Xi, guess who is back?" Gong Yu smiled softly. There was no trace of cold in his tone, which surprised Baili Ziyi.
Gong Yu instantly felt suffocated in his heart; it was as if a big stone had smashed hard on it and he couldn't even breathe. "What? Tonight? How could it be so fast?" Xi Fangchi responded in a deep voice. "It is said that the Crown Prince has noticed your trace and intends to force you to show up. Execution in such a short time will take you by surpirse. You are not well prepared, so the odds may be in their favor." "Duanmu Gongcheng! He shows no mercy and has determined to destroy us all!" "What are we going to do now, master?" "What shall we do? We are certainly going to save them, I can't watch Nanny Wu and dozens of others lose their lives just for me!" "But, master, once you come out, there will be a huge trap waiting for you." "Anyway, we'll take action tonight. You guys go out and get ready. I'll discuss it with my master." Xi Fangchi looked at Gong Yu, then he tur
