Chapter 517 The Man in Armor
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. It was still early, and since the men came knocking on the door, it must be something important.
Yue Fuli got up from her and saw that her lips were bright red. He lowered his eyes and stared at her for a while, then looked away and sat up.
"You should have a good rest." After he said that, he got out of bed and got dressed.
"Yeah." After Si He responded, she turned over and lay on her side facing outwards without getting up. She remembered that from today on, she was temporarily "sick" and unable to get out of bed.
She looked at Yue Fuli's back, with the corners of her lips slightly raised. Unfortunately, he never turned around to look at her.
When she saw that he had packed up and was about to go out, Si He quickly got out of bed, ran towards him barefoot, and then put her arms around his waist.
Yue Fuli paused, feeling the soft body behind him. His eyes darkened again, and he pursed his lips. In the end, he restrained himself and did not move. After a while, he said, "Guo Jiaqu."
His voice was a little faint, low, with a hint of hoarseness.
Si He still didn't let go. She said, "From now on, my husband, can you call me by my nickname? My nickname is He He, which means "He" in "He Sui".
Although the name is just a title, Ning Ji had always called her He He, so she wanted Yue Fuli to call her that as well.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."
Hearing this, Si He smiled happily and let go of her hand.
Yue Fuli turned around, but his expression was very similar to before, his eyes were dark and oppressive. His gaze first fell on her face, and then slowly moved to her lips. The color of her lips was very bright and rosy.
After the kiss just now, the atmosphere between the two of them was different from before, and it became obviously more ambiguous.
However, there was another knock on the door, and this time it sounded a little more urgent.
Yue Fuli retracted his gaze, said nothing, and turned to walk out.
Si He watched his back as he left, and only looked away when the door closed.
It was thought that he would come back soon, but something seemed to have happened, so he hurried away with half of his personal soldiers.
Si He stood by the window, watching the group of people walking away from afar, hoping that everything would go smoothly for him.
……
On the other side, Yue Hejiang also set off to return to Changping City, while Chen Sangsang returned to Wu City first. Firstly, she needed to deal with the business under her name, and secondly, to prepare for her marriage.
Yue Hejiang returned to Changping City this time not only because of the issue of establishing a crown prince, but also to ask his family to propose marriage to the Chen family. He planned to formally marry Chen Sangsang as his concubine.
As for Lianyun Mountain, since they had explored the ancient tomb and found no treasure inside, the two men guessed that the treasure was somewhere else in the mountain. This matter could not be rushed, so they could only let their personal soldiers guard Lianyun Mountain and carefully explore the entire mountain range to find the whereabouts of the treasure.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, forces from all sides surged. Si He, who was staying in the post station, felt that a storm was coming.
Gradually, more and more people were secretly following her near the post station. However, because she wanted to pretend to be sick, they did not show up and take action, and the soldiers in the post station did not move rashly.
On the fourth day, the weather turned cloudy, so Si He decided to return to Wucheng.
However, this was just a cover-up. She asked Gaozi to pretend to be her, get on a carriage, and have the soldiers escort her back to Wucheng.
Si He and Gao You changed into men's clothes again, and they were ordinary soldiers' clothes. Both of them had their faces modified and painted like men, their appearance changed drastically and it was difficult to recognize them. They followed the caravan and rode on horseback, but when they reached a remote mountain road, they quickly and quietly slipped away.
However, in addition to Gao You, there were also several guards with excellent skills who went with her. After all, it was impossible for them to let her leave like this.
The group walked along the path towards Changping City.
She didn't want to just wait, and more and more people were paying attention to the post station in recent days. It would be better to let Gao Zi pretend to be her and return to Wucheng. At least it would not be so easy for people to find out about her situation, and she could also leave.
Just after the convoy had been going for half a day, the Yue family sent someone to take her back to Changping City to recuperate, but they came back empty-handed, so they could only rush towards Wucheng.
However, Gao Zi and others had been told before that no matter who asked to see them, they should be refused. Wucheng was Yue Fuli's territory, and it was better to return to the mansion than to this post station. Even if someone from the Yue family came, there was nothing they could do.
Besides, she had already stayed in this post station for four days, so it was almost enough for her to pretend. If she returned to the city to "recuperate", the Yue family would not be able to say anything.
Si He and his men traveled hurriedly for a whole day and finally arrived outside Changping City at nightfall.
The group was planning to stay at an inn ten miles outside the city. Unfortunately, there was a fight going on inside the inn. Both sides were fighting fiercely, with the sounds of hacking and killing continuing. At the same time, there were some fierce sounds of smashing and smashing, ping-pong and banging. There were also many people around making a fuss, and the scene was very lively. The door was blocked by people and no one could get in.
Si He and others were riding horses outside the inn, planning to wait for a while and decide whether to stay in the inn based on the situation.
Suddenly, the people blocking the door made way, and the people fighting inside left the inn and ran outside to fight.
It turned out that one side was defeated and wanted to escape, while the other side was chasing them closely.
Fights are common in this remote area.
However, when Si He saw the armor worn by one of them, her eyes changed instantly.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, showing a cold and solemn look, and her originally relaxed body suddenly changed its momentum.
Gao Zi and others who were following her soon noticed her change. Thinking that the situation had changed, they immediately followed her gaze, but there seemed to be nothing special between the two fighting parties.
One side is a martial arts master with good skills, while the other side seems to be a rich kid with some wealth.
The ones who were at a disadvantage at this moment were the group of rich kids. Although they brought a lot of guards with them, these guards were no match for those gangsters. They had only been able to hold out for so long because of their numbers. Now they were planning to escape from here, but those gangsters with good skills intercepted them everywhere and prevented them from leaving.
"Do you know who I am? If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I will wipe out your entire clan!"
The situation of the man in armor was getting worse and worse, and he had no choice but to make threats.
The blue-clad man in the lead sneered upon hearing this, "That depends on whether you can survive and cause us trouble!"
After he finished speaking, he swung his sword and chopped at the man in armor. The guard beside the man hurriedly raised his sword to block it, but he was too strong and skilled, and he knocked the guard aside with two moves. Then he turned his wrist and was about to chop at the armored man.
At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly struck.
"Whoosh!"
The sharp arrow shot accurately at the head of the blue-clothed man, but the man reacted quickly. Just when the arrow was about to hit him, he turned his head to avoid it, and then looked at the person who shot the arrow with a fierce look.
Si He slowly put down the crossbow in his hand and looked at them indifferently.
