Chapter 621 It's Impossible

Pearl suddenly regretted not stopping Gu Shuyan when she said she was going to Suzhou.

"What? You mean Miss went to Suzhou?"

Gu Jun clearly hadn't expected Gu Shuyan to go directly to Suzhou. Aren't other wives usually obediently waiting at home for their husbands to return? But their Gu family's young mistress was bold enough to go to Suzhou on her own.

"Nobody knows what the situation is like in Suzhou right now, and you don't even know how to advise them."

As Gu Jun spoke, he glanced at Pearl. He had originally intended to take this opportunity to see his fiancée, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

But who would have thought that Gu Shuyan, unaware of such a major event as the epidemic, would not only not say anything, but would also rush to Suzhou.

"It's all my fault. I should have advised Miss." Seeing Pearl's anxious and remorseful expression, Gu Jun couldn't bear to blame her.

"Don't blame yourself. How could you stop Miss from making her decision? But don't worry too much. I'll be setting off back soon and will definitely arrive in Suzhou before Miss does."

After Gu Jun finished speaking, he patted Zhenzhu on the shoulder to comfort her.

But as it turned out, he had underestimated Gu Shuyan's speed.

As soon as Gu Shuyan left the city, she heard the whispers of the people. She originally planned to travel slowly to Suzhou and take the opportunity to see the scenery along the way.

But after learning that a plague had broken out in Suzhou, she couldn't slow down at all; she wished she could get to Suzhou in the blink of an eye.

In Suzhou New City, as the health of the disaster victims improved, Yun Yichen finally stepped out of the place he had been staying in for more than a month.

The September breeze carried a touch of coolness, adding a touch of warmth to Suzhou, a city that had been sweltering all summer.

Upon seeing Yun Yichen step out of Suzhou New City, He Biyou immediately panicked and ordered his men to follow.

However, Yun Yichen raised his hand to stop him, saying, "The city is so short-handed right now, what's the point of you, young and impetuous, following me around all the time?"

Yun Yichen never expected that even now, He Bi would still be thinking of monitoring him.

Yun Yichen felt that He Biyou's official career had truly reached its limit.

The man following Yun Yichen couldn't refute his words, after all, he was indeed young and strong. While others were reinforcing the city walls and carrying out construction, he was idly following Yun Yichen around.

He hesitated for a moment before glancing at He Biyou, who then immediately stepped forward and gave Yun Yichen a graceful bow.

"Although you have been in Suzhou for some time, you are still not very familiar with the city and its surroundings. Let him follow you so that you can give him some directions."

Why bother with the idea that Sima Zhao had ulterior motives?

Seeing this, Yun Yichen couldn't help but sneer: "Lord He really doesn't know what's important. The construction task is so heavy now, and you're not going to help? Do you think I, a grown man, would get lost?"

As Yun Yichen spoke, he began to subtly reveal some of the military equipment, causing both He Biyou and the accompanying soldier to be startled.

"Your Excellency is right, I will go and help immediately."

Without waiting for any instructions, the soldier left on his own.

Everyone knows this is the Ghost-Faced Yama. Although he was easy to get along with before, the soldier wisely slipped away when he remembered how Yun Yichen had lost his temper last time.

Why blame each other when you've turned your backs on each other? Yun Yichen's anger is clearly harder to bear.

He Biyou glared fiercely in the direction the person had left, and when he looked at Yun Yichen, his smile widened even more.

"You are right, sir. It was all due to my oversight. Since you wish to take a walk, I will accompany you!"

He Biyou gestured to Yun Yichen, inviting him to speak.

Seeing this, Yun Yichen didn't say anything more and walked out.

Why bother following him if you want to? Suzhou is such a big place, why should this old man with his frail arms and legs follow him for as long as possible?

Just as Yun Yichen had predicted, the two of them had only walked about ten miles when He Biyou was already out of breath.

He thought that when Yun Yichen said he was just taking a walk, he really meant just wandering around the perimeter. He never expected that Yun Yichen could walk so far without even breaking a sweat.

Looking at Yun Yichen's youthful physique, He Biyou couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Youth is truly wonderful!

"Sir, shall we take a break?"

He Biyou had wanted to speak for a long time, but when he was really out of breath, he finally called out to Yun Yichen.

"You may rest if you wish, my lord. I still need to go and take a look ahead."

Yun Yichen said, not caring whether anyone could keep up, and walked forward quickly with light steps.

He was a martial artist, so his foot boat was naturally much lighter and faster than that of an ordinary person.

Even if a young, strong man followed him today, he might not be able to outrun him, let alone an old man like He Biyou.

He Biyou originally wanted to persevere a little longer, at least to follow Yun Yichen a few more steps, but as soon as he took a step, he saw Yun Yichen walking far ahead, and he finally gave up.

Oh well, let him be! If he continues to follow him, he's afraid he'll really die of exhaustion here.

Having gotten rid of Hebiyou, Yun Yichen immediately crossed the mountain. Standing on the mountaintop, he could clearly see the houses that were slowly being built on the opposite side.

This village is the closest one to Suzhou New City. Yun Yichen had seen it on the map before, which is why he was able to find this place accurately.

At this moment, the rice in the fields not far away had already turned yellow and drooped its head, a golden sight that made Yun Yichen unable to help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.

"As expected, there is always a way out."

Yun Yichen couldn't help but sigh, even in the face of a great disaster, Heaven would not be so heartless.

With their hard work, a bumper harvest was only a matter of time, wasn't it?

When Yun Yichen came down from the mountain, he was clearly in a much better mood.

He Biyou was sitting by the roadside, having just recovered. He was wondering whether to go find Yun Yichen first or return to the city first when Yun Yichen walked up to him.

"Sir, you're not planning to go sightseeing anymore?"

Why did He Biyou look at Yun Yichen? She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that Yun Yichen was looking at her and smiling.

"We originally planned to explore a bit more, but seeing Lord He's health, it seems he's not feeling well. Let's head back as soon as possible!"

Yun Yichen deliberately paused when he talked about the body, and even though the other party was an old man over fifty years old, he couldn't help but feel a sense of humiliation.

He's just a little older! As a man, and the oldest man in Suzhou at that, why should he be able to stand others saying he's no good?

"My concubines were making a scene at home yesterday, so I didn't get a good rest. Another day, another day I will accompany you to take a good walk around."

Why bother trying to regain your pride?

Yun Yichen glanced at him indifferently, then shook his head, meaning that it was better to forget about it!
