Chapter 154 He Xi
"How do you know?"
Gu Wuhui was somewhat skeptical about life. He had asked people to inquire several times but could not find out who was behind Jiyue Pavilion. Yu Chi just said it out so eloquently?
Jiyue Pavilion, he spent so much money in Jiyue Pavilion, it's not too much to give him a backdoor, right?
Gu Jue coughed twice beside him and turned his head away awkwardly. Gu Wuhui obviously didn't know that the owner of Jiyue Pavilion was Yu Chi.
He was afraid that he would be exposed if he looked at Yu Chi for one more second.
"Jiyue Pavilion also does intelligence business."
"..."
Gu Wuhui didn't know. He always thought that Jiyue Pavilion was a simple killer organization.
Yu Hexi thought so too.
Yu Chi and Jiyuege often interact with each other, and he always keeps his word. If he says he can do it, then he can definitely do it.
He took on this burden, and Gu Wuhui was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
At least in his opinion, his wedding with Yu Hexi could finally be perfect.
Seeing his relieved look, Yu Chi wanted to laugh. Who would have thought that these two people didn't want to marry each other and even ran away from the marriage?
This marriage was decided by the emperor himself. The emperor could not say that he liked Gu Wuhui, nor did he say that he hated him.
He was like a dispensable tool in the middle.
In order to stabilize the general Yu Jianghe, he arranged a marriage for Yu Hexi. He could not choose a powerful prince, because he was afraid that he would become more powerful and seek power and usurp the throne.
He could not choose a weak prince who did nothing, because Yu Jianghe might be dissatisfied.
In this case, Gu Wuhui, who was in the middle position, became the best choice.
Moreover, he had a gentle personality and was extremely respectful, so there was no need to worry about what he would do to Yu Hexi.
The emperor was right, but Gu Wuhui had never even met Yu Hexi at that time, and he could not directly say that he wanted to cancel the engagement, as it would be embarrassing for the girl.
It was not until later that he realized that Yu Hexi was an extraordinary woman. She was polite and elegant, but also unruly and wanton.
The moment Yu Hexi learned about the marriage news, she ran away.
She fled directly from the back door of the general's mansion on horseback. She rode at full speed and passed by Songxue Tower in Shangjing, just passing by the eyes of Gu Wuhui who was sitting by the window.
The girl was wearing a blue and white dress at the time. Although she looked gentle, she looked very ostentatious in Gu Wuhui's eyes.
He put down the teacup in his hand and jumped directly from the second floor of Songxue Tower. He almost fell down. Fortunately, his secret guard came out and helped him.
He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, turned around and chased Yu Hexi, and ran away.
He thought, since Yu Hexi had run away, he might as well slip away quietly. At least everyone was paying attention to Yu Hexi, and no one should notice him.
But Yu Hexi was riding a horse, and his legs could not catch up, so he was getting farther and farther away from Yu Hexi. Later, when they left the city, Yu Hexi went all the way north, and he just glanced at her and went south.
At that time, he thought that it would be good to run away from the marriage, so that he would not have to get married.
Yu Hexi also thought that it would be good to run away from the marriage, so that she would not have to get married.
Gu Wuhui did not want to marry someone he did not love and live a life of mutual respect in the future. Yu Hexi also did not want to marry someone she did not love and live a dull life in the future.
Moreover, she yearned for freedom. Among all the people in the world, the person she least wanted to marry was a member of the royal family.
Because most of the royal family would have a hard time in the future, and sometimes they would live in fear. That was not the life she longed for.
Freedom is above all else.
Moreover, Gu Wuhui was too ordinary. Among all the princes in the royal family, Gu Wuhui was the most ordinary. Other princes were either highly skilled in martial arts, extremely intelligent, or both talented and handsome...
Only Gu Wuhui, other than being humble and polite, and ordinary, had almost no other adjectives to describe him.
Yu Hexi admired the strong, and the person who would accompany her for life must at least have extraordinary qualities.
Gu Wuhui did not meet her standards in any way, except that his face was not bad.
I don't know if it was fate or something else, but the two people who fled to Shangjing in opposite directions met in the same inn a month after fleeing.
At that time, Gu Wuhui was standing downstairs, and Yu Hexi was standing upstairs, looking at each other from a distance.
Unlike the shock and surprise when Gu Wuhui first saw Yu Hexi, Yu Hexi only felt disgusted when she first saw Gu Wuhui.
Because his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to the second prince Gu Wuji, they had the same father but different mothers, which was normal.
It was just that Gu Wuji had launched an abnormal and crazy pursuit of Yu Hexi, and everyone in Shangjing knew it.
He used every method, including coercion, inducement, and he did everything he could. But Yu Hexi was a stubborn person, and he would not be persuaded by
soft or hard tactics. In the end, he left Shangjing directly and traveled outside for a full six months before returning home.
So when she first met Gu Wuhui, she only felt disgusted.
Gu Wuhui was a complete disaster for Yu Hexi, and she had a negative impression of him and was disgusted by the sight of him.
At that time in the inn, when Yu Hexi saw Gu Wuhui for the first time, she did not see Gu Wuhui as a person, but through his similar eyebrows and eyes, she saw Gu Wuji.
The second prince who was so persistent and made her extremely disgusted.
Gu Wuhui politely nodded to Yu Hexi as a greeting.
Yu Hexi frowned coldly, nodded slightly to him, and turned away. She did not think of giving Gu Wuhui too much face. She did not like to flatter the powerful, nor did she bother to flatter.
There was a sword scar on Gu Wuhui's chest, which has healed, but the scar could not be removed and remained there.
Since that meeting in the inn, when they parted, they had a tacit understanding that one went east and the other went west.
But two months later, they met again in Jiangnan. At that time, Gu Wuhui and Yu Hexi were separated at the two ends of the lake bank, and they saw each other through the mist and the crowd.
But this time, Gu Wuhui just smiled at Yu Hexi, and turned away in Yu Hexi's eyes.
Yu Hexi knew that it was her so-called fiancé, but she didn't like the royal family at that time.
Whether it was the emperor who arranged the marriage for her, Gu Wuji who pursued her, or Gu Wuhui, her fiancé whom she had only met twice.
The sword wound on Gu Wuhui's chest was left when he tried to save Yu Hexi.
That was the first step for Yu Hexi to change her mind about Gu Wuhui.
She originally didn't believe that someone from the royal family would risk his life to save others, just like Gu Wuji. Gu Wuji once chased Yu Hexi to a peach mountain in the wilderness.
The scenery there was beautiful. Some bandits learned of Yu Hexi's itinerary, so they wanted to kidnap Yu Hexi and take him back, because Yu Jianghe had led people to destroy their mountain stronghold.
Some of their people escaped, and they wanted revenge.
What was Gu Wuji's reaction at the time? He glanced at Yu Hexi and turned away.
He was unwilling to waste his energy to save Yu Hexi. After all, he had Yu Jianghe as his helper. He pursued Yu Hexi only because she was beautiful and he wanted her. That was all.
So he would not cause trouble for Yu Hexi, so he left.
But those bandits underestimated Yu Hexi. She was the daughter of a general, always yearning for freedom and loving swords. So when Yu Hexi came back, she only had some minor injuries.
And Gu Wuji's pursuit of Yu Hexi ended because of this incident.
