Thunder Fury
Chapter 10: Thunderous Fury
Towards the end of winter, Chang Si brought news that the people had fled to Puzhou and had settled in a remote county for two months.
Peng Zuoyang led the team personally, and the remaining ten secret guards followed. They rode on fast horses and arrived in just three days.
Qiu Sanniang hurriedly chased after her from the main gate, "General, I want to stay and serve you. Please keep me."
"Sanniang, you were sent here as a toy."
The man's tolerance that night disappeared in an instant. When Qiu Sanniang was feeling uneasy, the man who was looking down at her slowly smiled. Although his face was gentle, his sharp and cold eyes clearly showed indifference.
Peng Zuoyan moved his left hand to the side, holding her chin up with the reins, and asked jokingly, "Now that the real boss has returned, is there any need for you, a substitute, to stay?"
Qiu Sanniang took a half step back with pale lips, her watery eyes showing a lingering look of reluctance and acceptance.
Peng Zuoyuan nodded at the mansion gate and said one last thing, "Go ask Chang Er for some money. It's up to you how much you want. It will be your resettlement fee."
Qiu Sanniang's expression changed. She suppressed the joy in her heart, stepped aside, bowed, and watched him leave.
Compared to her godfather who used her, General Peng was not easy to get close to but he was very generous. This gold and silver was just enough to redeem her.
The word "abandon" is used with too much emotion. She was sent by Meng Chenghe to deal with the closure of Pingxianliutang. It was a thing. Although General Peng seemed beautiful and powerful, he never cared about her. The one he had was just a casual interest that night.
The four of them blocked off the four sides of the courtyard, but two of them were not at home.
There were mostly low hills and wide areas. When he could see the donkey cart with baskets on its back, Peng Zuoyuan dismounted and held his bow. He listened to the laughter of a man and a woman in the distance, and his expression became even more indifferent.
The moment he met Yi Huan's eyes, Peng Zuoyan sneered, his eyes full of excitement at the impending closing of the net.
Ah Huan, long time no see.
"Ayu, hurry up!"
Peng Zuoyang drew his long arrow onto the bow, but the arrow paused for two seconds before shooting out. He then threw the jade ring with his right hand, hitting Yi Huan accurately on the back of the neck.
Walking up to the fainted person, Peng Zuoyan held her waist with one hand and weighed her.
Humph, running away is a bit too serious, you are really careless.
After handing the person over to Chang Si, the man in fox fur coat went up the stairs and looked at Chao Lanyu who came ashore from the bottom of the waterfall with disdain. Judging from their tattered clothes, they seemed to be a perfect match.
"What did you do to Ah Huan?"
Chao Lanyu didn't even bother to put on her shoes. The last time she saw Yi Huan was when she was sent into the black-clad man's room and taken down the mountain.
Peng Zuoyao used arrows as weapons and took the initiative to fight, crushing the enemy like an ant, saying: "You will die today."
The one who took the initiative always had the upper hand. Chao Lanyu dodged and fought back, arguing, "General Peng, according to our dynasty's laws, any official who forcibly seizes a woman will be exiled for three years. Are you really going to ignore it? Yi Huan is a good person, a living person. You're the one who's committing a crime by forbidding her and pursuing her."
Oh, naive.
An arrow pierced his right leg. Peng Zuoyao stood up from his knees and said nonchalantly, "Are you done? It's not your place to criticize how I do things."
Chao Lanyu curled up on the ground, the deep hatred in his eyes suddenly increased.
"The law is the law. You forcibly demolished our house, bullying others with your power and being tyrannical and arbitrary. There will always be two hearts in this world that hate you!"
The roar of the weak will only arouse the contempt of the dominant.
The blood-stained arrow rested on the bow. Peng Zuoyuan was very calm. "In this world, power is law. Even if you die in the streets, the Pukang County Magistrate won't dare to say a word."
"I don't believe it. You can't always cover the sky with one hand. The Yu Dynasty is not your kind. Power is not the eternal law of the world. If you do something wrong, you will inevitably be punished, let alone such atrocities as yours. In the deep and silent night, do you really sleep peacefully every night?"
"Ha, I will fall asleep with your naked Ah Huan in my arms."
Chao Lanyu angrily cursed, "You bastard!" But now they were at a disadvantage. Chao Lanyu paused, his eyes reddened as he pleaded, "If it costs me my life, can you spare Ah Huan? I can die, or I can live without dignity. I am also willing to be your slave for the rest of my life and be driven by you. We can never see each other again. General Peng, please spare Ah Huan. I will do anything."
"You have no bargaining chips with me." The way he begged for mercy was really boring. The man took a step forward and pretended to end his life with his own hands.
Peng Zuoyang curled his lips, put his right hand back, and the sharp arrow pierced through the chest of the soaked man, passed through his back, and brought out a sticky bright red arrowhead.
The pause on the man's face when he was dying was still in his mind. Peng Zuoyuan looked down at the deep cliff from a high vantage point. He was hit by an arrow and his leg was broken. It would take a miracle for this guy to survive.
Waving his hand to call for the people, he said, "Go down and search, and we must find the body."
Peng Zuoyuan was waiting for Chang Yi and others to report back, but when they were going down the mountain, all that was left was a torn male's right leg on the treetop, and the man had disappeared without a trace.
After thinking for a moment, Peng Zuoyuan ordered, "Find an identical corpse."
Today was the day Chao Lanyu died, and from now on Yi Huan was his. Even if Chao Lanyu came looking for him again, what would it matter? Peng Zuoyuan asked himself if he was not afraid of him when he was intact, let alone a cripple who had lost his right leg and whose life was in danger.
Now that he's here, why not kill him again?
It was almost time, so Peng Zuoyuan got into the carriage and looked at her sleeping face with his hands in his pockets.
His face had gained weight, but he didn't look plump. He was wearing a coarse linen round-necked cotton-padded jacket that was too big for his body. He was still worried in his dream and didn't feel serene as he lay.
Yi Huan woke up suddenly, and the moment he saw Peng Zuoyan's face clearly, he completely gave up. It was not a dream, and he had come.
"Ah Huan, do you know how escaped concubines in Yu State are convicted?"
"How's Ah Yu? What did you do to him? I want to see him wherever he is!"
Peng Zuoyan sat steadily, put his hands around Yi Huan's waist and pulled her back, excitement flashing in his deep eyes.
Peng Zuoyang had been waiting for this moment since he knew that she had deliberately escaped. Yi Huan still had the same hot temper and the same eyes as when they first met. It was really interesting to think about how to completely tame her.
Charcoal was burning in the car, and the temperature was just right. Peng Zuoyuan took off his thick cloak to reveal a purple and gold smock embroidered with an eagle. He wore a round-necked robe of the same color that fitted his body, and the long belt highlighted his slender waist. His face was even more majestic than it had been a few months ago.
The more he looked at her padded jacket, the more he felt uncomfortable. Peng Zuoyan peeled off her outer robe without allowing any discussion, saying disdainfully, "He'll just let you wear this rag."
"Tell me, where is Chao Lanyu?" Yi Huan grabbed his fidgeting wrist and asked persistently, "Is he dead or alive?"
The cyan jacket loosened slightly during her struggle. Peng Zuoyan held her hands with one hand and said rudely, "Yi Huan, from now on, you are not allowed to leave Chang Garden at all."
She doesn't want to maintain her dignity, but instead serves as a concubine to satisfy his lust day and night.
"Get out of here!" Yi Huan wailed. She had no time to tidy up her clothes, and she had no energy to refute Peng Zuo'an's accusation. She was only worried that Chao Lanyu would fall into Peng Zuo'an's hands. Would her A Yu still be alive and well?
"Is Ah Yu still alive? Can you let me take a look at him? I want to know what's going on with him..."
The uneasiness in his heart continued to deepen, and Yi Huan could only cry and beg Peng Zuogong to show mercy and spare Chao Lan's life.
There was anger in Peng Zuoyan's eyes. For another man, she came to beg him in an indescribable way.
Pulling her up, Peng Zuoyan forced her to make her position clear: "If you say you will follow me, I will not pursue you this time."
"You're dreaming." Yi Huan leaned back with his arms propped up, tears still streaming down his face, but the hatred on his face remained unchanged. "We've been married for a long time. If he dies, I will never live alone."
"Did he touch you?"
Yi Huan laughed sarcastically and shouted at him, "Couples should be in harmony with each other, and live happily ever after."
Big tears flowed as she spoke, and Yi Huan drooped her shoulders dejectedly. Based on Peng Zuoyuan's personality, Chao Lanyu would definitely not be well, either dead or disabled.
But Yi Huan is not afraid, at least she has experienced it, she is not afraid of memories. Happy times are always so short, that's why people cherish them so much.
"Yi Huan, I am too lenient with you."
Peng Zuoyuan's right hand reached down along the hem of his jacket, puffing it out without allowing any objection.
"What are you doing? Get out."
The difference can be felt. Peng Zuoyuan wiped his fingers, frowned and sneered, "It's been a while since we last met, and it's different. Ah Huan, you're quite brave, daring to touch my things."
Peng Zuoyan's personal property being used by others is tantamount to stepping on his face.
"I belong to you, you took me by force. Ah Yu and I were in love, but you interfered. In fact, you are the shameless third party who interfered with other people's couples. Ha, a dignified fifth-rank General Dingyuan is doing adulterous things."
Peng Zuoyan smiled, seemingly praising her, "It's been a long time since I've heard Ah Huan scold anyone. It's been a long time since I've heard her scold anyone."
"Ah Huan was born with a clever mouth, but I don't know how to use it."
Yi Huan thought of something and stepped back in fear, "What do you want to do? Don't."
Peng Zuoyan's unbuttoning of his clothes confirmed her guess. He was wearing bright white silk trousers underneath his black leather boots, revealing the dark color between his thighs without reservation.
"No, Peng Zuoyang, don't let me use my mouth, no." Yi Huan shook her head in fear. The memories of being humiliated were reawakened, and her curling up contrasted with his steering.
Peng Zuoyao looked down at me and pulled out the last piece of clothing. "Ah Huan, you'll pay the price for provoking me. You've used it before, so it might still smell like you."
"Peng Zuoyuan, don't..."
She was extremely resistant to this matter, but Peng Zuoyan had plenty of ways to just have fun. Seeing her helpless and embarrassed look, he laughed softly.
“Ugh…Ugh…”
There were bleeding marks on the lower abdomen and waist caused by Yi Huan's scratches. Peng Zuoyan was leaning against the wall, still in the aftermath and had not reacted. The scratches on his lower abdomen caused by her ten fingers did not heal for a long time.
In the matter of love, Ah Huan gave him a surprise when they met again after a long separation.
After pouring a cup of strong tea and handing it over, Peng Zuoyan blushed and asked, "Is Ah Huan also happy?"
He used half the cup to rinse his mouth and the other half to spit. The man dodged in time, and his sweatshirt was stained by the tea.
Yi Huan's eyes were bloodshot, and his flushed face was covered with tear marks as wide as fingernails. His eyes showed the same resentment as Chao Lanyu's.
Touching his gaze, Yi Huan sneered, "Nothing more than that, just a few seconds."
Peng Zuoyan's face darkened instantly, "Ah Huan, what did you say?"
"I said, you bastard."
Peng Zuoyuan watched her adjusting her collar, her face flushed and with an imperceptible paleness. Under his carriage and his power, every breath made his inner thoughts surge.
Touching her cheek with one hand, Peng Zuoyan said with a hint of thorns, "Ah Huan is avoiding these things? No matter, disappear in July, and I will take you to get familiar with it again."
"dissolute!"
He used his left hand to stop her hand from slapping him, but was caught off guard by the hairpin held by Yi Huan and pricked his neck.
"Anyone who attempts to assassinate a fifth-rank official should be executed." Peng Zuo'an let the wound bleed, his eyes sharp and fluid, and his hand touched her shirt.
Yi Huan sarcastically said, "I'm afraid General Peng hasn't had enough fun yet and is reluctant to leave."
"ha."
"Ahuan understands me."
When they arrived at the inn, Peng Zuoyuan walked in holding Yi Huan horizontally.
"Don't move, do you want others to see you naked?"
With his hands tied and a cloth around his lips, Yi Huan stopped struggling and just glared at him.
Peng Zuoyan's body still retained the excitement of the two of them going in and out together all the way. He smiled and said dirty words, "Ah Huan is more pleasing when she uses her lips."
After traveling for more than half a month, the group entered the city at night and stayed in Chang Garden.
"Yuxin and the others didn't serve us well enough before. This is Cuixue. Do you have any instructions for her?"
Cui Xue and the other five people bowed and greeted Peng Zuoyang at his command.
Yi Huan didn't care much about how he dealt with the maids in the garden. The new arrivals were just birds of a feather. If they died or became disabled, it was all the grace of their master.
Peng Zuoyan was puzzled by her indifference, "Ah Huan, you are not a cold-blooded person."
"Yuxin and the others are your servants, who were ordered by you to monitor me. It is their duty to do their duty faithfully. It is their fault that they were negligent and neglected their duty. It is your decision how to deal with them. What does it have to do with me?"
Excessive sympathy would only make things difficult for her, and they were all from the same nest, so it was not Yi Huan's turn to be soft-hearted.
Peng Zuoyan curled his lips and praised: "Ah Huan is very insightful and cold-hearted."
"They are your people, not my weak spot." Yi Huan turned sideways and said in a hard voice: "You can't threaten me. It has always been you who forced me by force."
Peng Zuoyang didn't care about her sworn declaration of a clear line between them. Now that Chao Lanyu was dead, what other options did Yi Huan have besides relying on him? As for his current reluctance, he could just work things out.
"Ah Huan, let's put this matter behind us. I will forgive you for being a concubine of a good family. Sometimes it's unavoidable that you may feel unhappy, but this is the last time."
Yi Huan laughed out loud and said sarcastically, "Ha, my dear husband is really generous. He has two husbands and one daughter, but he is willing to be one of them."
"Ahuan, you still can't learn to be careful with your words." The teacup was put down heavily, and Peng Zuo'an looked unhappy.
He has always been the one in charge, and others have always been the ones to curry favor with him. The only one who can challenge him is the sharp-tongued Yi Huan in front of him.
"Will my cautious words be exactly what you want? You wish."
Peng Zuoyao rubbed his fingers together, tilted his head, and said cautiously, "Don't you want to see Chao Lanyu? I will grant you that."
"What did you say? Really? I want to see him."
Looking forward to the changes in these eyes, Peng Zuoyan curled his lips in a complicated manner and asked Chang Er to bring people up.
The person who had been away for a month was about to arrive. Yi Huan guessed that Chao Lanyu might be injured. Thinking of the box of golden medicine in the dressing box, he secretly gave it to him to heal his wounds.
But Chao Lanyu did come, carried by two people, one in front and one behind, covered with yellow and white linen.
