Chapter 157: No Stay
The warm sun shone past, and the golden afterglow fell on Mo Xue Ju, illuminating the silvery white snow on the ground, coating it with a layer of golden light.
Yu Chi and Gu Jue went out early in the morning, and left in two directions with Gu Wuhui, one went to Ran Yue Tower, and the other went to An Shu Ge.
An Shu Ge is a new embroidery shop opened in Shangjing in the past year. Because the girls in An Shu Ge have good craftsmanship, it quickly became popular.
Gu Wuhui and Yu Hexi's wedding dresses were customized in An Shu Ge.
An Shu Ge even gave them half price, and neither Gu Wuhui nor Yu Hexi figured out why, and they were not prepared to accept it, but An Shu Ge said that if they didn't accept it, then they would not take their orders.
Now that the wedding dress is ready, they are going to try it on to see if there is anything that needs to be changed.
People from Anshu Pavilion will not come to people's homes to tailor clothes. This is the rule of Anshu Pavilion. No matter if it is a high-ranking official in the capital, even if it is the royal family, they will not come to their homes.
If you want to make clothes, you can come to the store yourself.
When they arrived at Anshu Pavilion, the people in the pavilion led them to the room to change clothes. Yu Hexi had the help of the girl in the pavilion, and on Gu Wuhui's side, the girl just explained the order of dressing and left. The
housekeeper girl next to them saw them come out after they were dressed, and they were very satisfied with the wedding dresses in their words, so they left, went to a room in the backyard, and knocked on the door gently.
"Sister."
A female voice came from the room, and the voice was gentle.
"How is it?"
said the housekeeper girl.
"They seem very satisfied."
"Okay, then give them half price as we said before."
The female voice in the room continued, and the housekeeper said yes, but she was a little confused.
"There are so many nobles who come to Anshu to make clothes, why do you treat them specially?"
The housekeeper asked, and there was silence in the room for a while. Just when she thought she was talking too much, two chuckles came from the room.
"After all, it's an old friend..."
...
On the other side, Yu Chi and Gu Jue also arrived at Ranyue Tower. Yu Chi looked eye-catching. Ranyue Tower was a property of Jiyue Pavilion, so the shopkeeper naturally couldn't mistake her own boss.
As soon as she saw Yu Chi, she hurried forward and led Yu Chi upstairs.
While the shopkeeper and Yu Chi were talking, Gu Jue stood by the window and looked out.
There were two people hiding in the tree in front of Ran Yue Tower, and one hiding in the restaurant opposite. His eyes were always scanning the street.
There were also two at the snack stand on the left.
The vendor selling candied haws on the right was also...
These people had unknown purposes, and seemed to be monitoring someone.
Until the eyes of the people in the restaurant opposite met Gu Jue's and they looked away in a hurry, Gu Jue chuckled and sat on the window frame, with one foot on the window sill and one leg hanging down, his movements were quite unrestrained.
He sat there openly, scanning those hypocritical people one by one.
Then he saw a familiar figure.
Why is he here?
Gu Jue looked left and right, then broke off a branch from the tree trunk nearby and threw it down, hitting the man right in front of him.
The man looked up and saw Gu Jue sitting on the window frame, waving at him.
"Gu Jue!"
Yu Chi and the shopkeeper also heard the commotion below. Yu Chi raised his eyes and met Gu Jue's gaze. Gu Jue pointed down.
"Feng Wuqing."
Yu Chi nodded at him, and he turned around and jumped down from the attic on the second floor of Ran Yue Tower, landing in front of Feng Wuqing.
It had been a long time since they last parted.
"Why did you come to Shangjing?"
"To keep an appointment."
Gu Jue didn't know whose appointment Feng Wuqing came to keep, and he didn't ask too much. He just nodded and looked behind him.
"Are you alone?"
Feng Wuqing shook his head in denial.
"No, there's also..."
He paused, his eyes a little erratic.
"Brother Qiao Yu..."
He said these three words in a very low voice, as if he was afraid that others would hear it clearly, but Gu Jue had excellent hearing and he managed to hear it clearly.
He suddenly realized it and looked like he understood.
They chatted for a while, and then Yu Chi came out.
Feng Wuqing said that Qiao Yu had ordered a meal at the restaurant next door and asked them to come together. They didn't refuse, and went into the restaurant opposite Ran Yue Tower together.
Feng Wuqing walked in front to lead the way for them and went up to the private room on the second floor.
When Gu Jue and Yu Chi walked side by side, they briefly told him about the situation outside.
After listening, Yu Chi did not react, which was within his expectations.
After all, he frequently appeared beside Gu Wuhui four years ago, and in the royal family dispute, the other princes would pay more attention to him.
Especially later, he detoxified Gu Wuhui, and his reputation as a miracle doctor spread more and more widely, so of course they were more jealous of him.
Those people were just here to monitor his movements.
It would be even better if they could infer Gu Wuhui's next move through his movements.
After all, Gu Wuhui stood out from the other princes, from an ordinary seventh prince to now, he has become an existence that they have to be jealous of.
After dinner, they chatted for a long time and went to the teahouse again. Feng Wuqing and Gu Jue, in particular, seemed to have many topics to talk about.
In the end, Yu Chi and Qiao Yu sat opposite each other drinking tea and staring at each other, while Gu Jue and Feng Wuqing were chatting animatedly.
Compared with Qiao Yu, Yu Chi was more relaxed. Anyway, he didn't feel awkward or boring.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Yu, feeling a little amused. The eldest son of the Qiao family sat upright, staring at Feng Wuqing for a long time and then retracted his gaze.
For a moment, he didn't know where to look.
"Young Master Qiao."
Yu Chi called him, and his somewhat confused gaze finally landed on Yu Chi.
"Did you catch the person?"
"!!!"
He was a little shocked. Logically, he had only met this doctor Yu Chi once, so how could he know?
Seeing him like this, Yu Chi put down the teacup in his hand, feeling a little helpless.
"There's no way. Although you and I have only met once in Luoyang City, it's really too obvious."
Qiao Yu was a little uncertain.
"So obvious?"
Yu Chi nodded, but saw that Qiao Yu's gaze was not here, but at Feng Wuqing, as if he guessed what he was thinking.
"Feng Wuqing is a blockhead."
Because he was a blockhead, he didn't see it so obviously.
How should I put it? He is worthy of being the same age as Qiao Jin, and they are friends who grew up together.
The same temperament.
Qiao Yu sighed and shook his head helplessly.
In fact, it was in August, the anniversary of Feng Wuyou's death. He was afraid that Feng Wuqing would be sad when thinking of Feng Wuyou, so he set out from Luoyang City and went to Mingyue City two months in advance.
Just to be with Feng Wuqing when he was sad.
It was then that they were together.
Yu Chi was a little curious.
"What's the specific situation?"
Qiao Yuxu clenched his fist, put it against his lips and coughed lightly.
"It's hard to say. Don't ask."
Yu Chi understood and guessed that the situation was either very complicated, or very intense, or... a heated debate...
They talked until the evening and said goodbye after dinner. When they left, Yu Chi glanced at Gu Jue, who nodded and left first.
Gu Jue told Feng Wuqing about his current address and looked back at Yu Chi's leaving figure. He had already disappeared into the street and disappeared into the endless darkness.
Feng Wuqing was puzzled when he saw that he was still not leaving.
"Aren't you going with Yu Chi?"
Gu Jue smiled.
"I'll chase him right away."
...
Some of the people monitoring outside were dozing off. Yu Chi walked past calmly and stopped when he reached an empty street.
"You've been following me all the way. Are you tired?"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen assassins appeared and surrounded him.
"Gu Wuyuan is a little impatient."
The fact that he blinded one of Gu Wuyuan's eyes was well known to the princes. They all knew that Yu Chi's martial arts were not low.
Later, apart from Gu Wuhui, only Gu Wuyuan knew that he had lost all his power, even if Gu Wuyuan did not hide this matter after returning.
But apart from Gu Wuyuan, there was no one else who was so impatient to take his life.
Now that Gu Jue was not by his side, those people thought that he had no internal strength and had lost all his power. Now was the best opportunity to take action.
The assassins didn't waste their words, and directly attacked Yu Chi with their swords raised. Yu Chi stood still, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
In an instant, a sharp sword energy came from the darkness, bringing with it misty clouds, and instantly knocked down all the assassins.
Gu Jue held Xunxian in his hand and stood beside Yu Chi. Yu Chi glanced at the assassins and spoke in a cold voice.
"Don't leave any of them alive."
