Chu Fengqing’s body stiffened for a moment. When was he exposed?
He probably never dressed in men’s clothes in front of him. The last time they met in men’s clothes was many years ago. How did Ji Yujin recognize him just by looking at his back?
He pursed his lips, feeling confused and a little bit surprised. What’s more, he felt that he had no sense of accomplishment. He had been holding on for a long time, but he was recognized in an instant…
It was possible that Ji Yujin would recognize him as soon as he entered. Chu Fengqing frowned, but he also knew that if he didn’t take the initiative to go over now, he would be in trouble.
Despite this, the rebellious nature in his body still wanted him to hold on a little longer. He pretended not to hear and continued to sit there. The next moment, a faint scent of agarwood lingered in his nose, and there was another person in front of him. Ji Yujin had sat down opposite him at some point, supporting his chin with his hand and looking at him with a smile. However, no matter how he looked at it, that smile did not reach his eyes. Instead, it was filled with anger.
He said softly, “It seems that you still want me to come and invite you.”
Chu Fengqing: “……” Based on his understanding of Ji Yujin, he was really angry at this moment. For no reason, two big words flashed through his mind—“not good”.
The people on both sides looked at Ji Yujin in confusion, not quite sure what was going on. Was Ji Yujin familiar with this boy in green?
Of course, no one dared to think that the young man who had been sitting quietly in the corner was the “wife” mentioned by Ji Yujin.
They wouldn’t even dare to think about it, even if they were beaten to death.
It was during this moment of distraction that no one noticed that a silver light flashed from the waiter’s sleeve, and an arrow flew straight towards Ji Yujin and the other person.
The waiter hid behind the crowd and kept observing the situation.
Ji Yujin was sitting facing the waiter, and Chu Fengqing had his back to the crowd. He didn’t even notice the arrow flying towards him, and when he saw the strange look in the eyes of the man opposite him, it was already too late to avoid it.
In a flash, Ji Yujin’s pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly threw the cup on the table towards the arrow. The two things collided, and the fragments exploded less than a foot away from Chu Fengqing, brushing past his face and leaving a trail of blood.
Ji Yujin: “Are you hurt anywhere?”
Chu Fengqing shook his head. Ji Yujin moved quickly, and he just realized what had happened.
Ji Yujin looked at the bloodstain on his face, touched it with his hand, his eyes darkened, and he pulled the person to his side, holding him in his arms, and then he said softly, “Move.”
With just two words, the room suddenly became tense, and with an order given, the Xichang attacked.
Suddenly, the only sound in the room was the friction of swords. Ji Yujin did not join the battle but just stood beside Chu Fengqing. However, he picked up a few small stones and hit the waiter, one stone at a time, like teasing a dog.
The room was small, and they couldn’t fully use their fists and feet, so they went outside while fighting. After all, they were just lower class and couldn’t be compared with those with special training. Once the fight started, it would become chaos and just rushed forward regardless of anything. A few big men used their brute force to push them back, but it only lasted for a moment.
The waiter gritted his teeth. He was thin and skinny and had little strength. Seeing that the situation was not going well, he wanted to run, but Ji Yujin seemed to have eyes on his back and hit his leg bone accurately with a stone. He screamed and fell to the ground without strength. He could not even move his leg.
The Xichang didn’t even have to use their weapons, they subdued the men with just punches and kicks. A dozen or nearly a hundred people were beaten so badly that they had no chance to fight back. Some of them were so bold that they decided to capture the leader first and attacked Ji Yujin. The result can be imagined.
Just when the battle was about to end, Qing Niao came with a group of people. Seeing this scene, he was a little dumbfounded. Why was his master here!?
Before he could speak, Ji Yujin ordered, “Tie up all the people and send them to the government office.”
Qing Niao didn’t have time to ask and said, “Yes.”
The kidnapped bandits looked gloomy. They never thought that only a dozen people could take care of them. The waiter’s face was covered with bruises, all from being hit by stones. Seeing that he was defeated, he begged for mercy: “My Lord, please spare our lives. It is because the humble was blind and did not recognize the real thing. Please let us go. If it were not for this world we live in and could not get enough to eat, we would not have gone up the mountain to become bandits. Please spare us this time.”
He swallowed and continued, “We have never killed any lives. We just want to steal some money.”
Ji Yujin didn’t like to talk to him. There were hundreds of people with hidden arrows and swords, and his words could only fool a three-year-old child. He had seen a lot of people like this. A stone was thrown at him and got stuck in his mouth, so he could not make any sound.
Without that annoying voice, Ji Yujin’s frown relaxed a little, and he said, “Send a few people to the mountain to see if there are any trapped women or men. Also, notify County Magistrate Wei and ask him to come to see this governor as soon as possible.”
Governor?
The only ones who can be called governor are those in Xichang and Dongchang. The waiter raised his eyes and looked at Ji Yujin, who was dressed in red and had a handsome appearance. He had the answer in his mind—Ji Yujin, the Governor of Xichang.
Something was stuffed in his mouth, so he couldn’t make any sound. He whimpered twice, and his eyes darkened. He was afraid that he was really in trouble this time.
After everything was arranged, Ji Yujin turned to look at Chu Fengqing and said with a smile, “Alright, let’s settle the accounts between the two of us now?”
Chu Fengqing: “……”
He reached out and used his fingers to hook the veil off Chu Fengqing’s face. Although he had seen him dressed as a woman countless times, but he hadn’t seen him as a man for a long time. Ji Yujin’s eyes widened slightly, and he slowly took the veil that was hooked by his fingers into his hands.
Under the cover of night, he heard his own uncontrollable heartbeat, and that person just stood there, brighter than the moonlight, attracting all his attention.
Chu Fengqing pursed his lips. He felt a little uncomfortable meeting Ji Yujin in men’s clothing for the first time, but he was more worried about how to explain this to Ji Yujin.
He probed: “Lao Mo should have sent someone to inform you, didn’t you receive the message?”
Ji Yujin’s eyes darkened. Is this the problem? It seems that this person still doesn’t know how serious this matter is. He coldly said, “Chu Fengqing, who gave you the courage to come here alone!”
“I really didn’t receive any news. Why didn’t you tell me in person before you set off? Don’t tell me you did this on impulse. If something happens to you on the way and I’m not by your side, do I know how to fly or burrow underground? How can I save you? Chu Fengqing, can you please consider me before you act?”
Chu Fengqing frowned, and now he felt that he was careless this time. He spoke in a cold and gentle voice: “I was wrong.”
Ji Yujin, who was about to get angry: “……”
Hold on a little longer.
Ji Yujin: “If I hadn’t happened to be here today, how many lives do you have? Why did you ask Qing Niao to leave first? What if Qing Niao couldn’t catch up? What would you let me do if your delicate skin got scratched?”
Chu Fengqing’s voice became even lighter. “I was wrong.”
Ji Yujin, who wanted to take this opportunity to teach Chu Fengqing a lesson: “……”
“Do you know how dangerous it is to go to Jiangnan? I…”
Chu Fengqing: “I was wrong.”
He raised his eyes and looked at Ji Yujin steadily, his crow-feather-like eyelashes blocking his eyes, partially obscuring the expression in his eyes.
Ji Yujin: “……”
Damn! How can he let out this anger?
