Chapter 1918 Why didn’t you say so earlier?
"You all should behave yourself along the way. I don't like anyone disturbing me while I'm doing my work."
His words were cold and hard.
As an emperor, he naturally spoke to others in an ordering tone, without caring at all whether the person standing in front of him could accept such an arrogant attitude.
Xue Yun also glanced at him.
However, she had just been rescued by Zhu Feng, and her heart was filled with gratitude. Besides gratitude, she also had a strange, soft emotion. Naturally, she listened to her savior at this time. Moreover, it was obvious that the identity and status of this "Mr. Huang" must be extraordinary. He must be going to do great things with these people.
So he said, "I understand. I won't disturb Mr. Huang's important matter."
Zhu Feng then nodded.
After a while, the rain stopped.
The carriage was stuck in such a state that it would be a waste of time to get it out. Fortunately, Xue Yun was wealthy and didn't care about the carriage, so he got on the horse and followed them back to where they came from.
Because riding a horse is much faster than riding in a carriage.
They traveled quickly all the way, and by dusk they had already seen the tall White Dragon City lying on the wilderness in the twilight. Just like before, it looked majestic and grand.
Xue Yun was so tired after the journey that his face turned pale.
But seeing the familiar outline of White Dragon City still gave her a sense of security. She smiled softly and said, "Finally...finally we're here."
Her voice was trembling as she spoke.
The group soon arrived at the city gate.
This time, because the eldest son of the Xue family was there, the city guards let them in without asking any questions. Because it had rained heavily, the roads in the city were wet, and many vendors did not set up their stalls today, so it was not as lively as the last time.
Zhu Feng and the others rode their horses slowly forward. Xue Yun said softly, "Young Master Huang."
"Um?"
"Mr. Huang, where do you plan to stay in the city? If you don't mind, you can go to the Xue family—"
Zhu Feng interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "No need."
"Um?"
"We have already arranged a place to stay."
"……oh."
"If you want to go home, that's fine. Someone like you should go back and rest."
Xue Yun looked down at himself. He looked awkward in ill-fitting clothes, but he said softly, "I still don't want to go home."
"Um?"
"Originally, when I wanted to travel this time, my elders at home disapproved. I finally managed to convince them. If they knew I had encountered danger on the road and now returned, I'm afraid they would even less likely give me the chance to go out."
Zhu Feng snorted coldly: "What's the point of raising flowers in a vase?"
“……!”
These words made Xue Yun's heart skip a beat.
Zhu Feng also came to his senses. He had said it too simply, and was afraid that Xue Yun would be embarrassed, so he said, "That's fine, then you can follow us."
"Um."
Xue Yun didn't say much and rode his horse to follow them.
Xue Yun was more familiar with the roads in the city than they were. He watched as their men turned around and entered a remote street. There were not many pedestrians here, but the houses on both sides were very exquisite and quiet.
Xue Yun said, "Are you going to the Lotus Heart Hall?"
Zhu Feng turned to look at him: "You know?"
Xue Yun smiled and said, "I grew up here after all, so I naturally know. The Lotus Heart Hall is very famous in Bailong City. The wealthy families in the city often hold banquets here."
Zhu Feng nodded.
Xue Yun continued, "There are several beautiful places in the guild hall. I wonder where Mr. Huang is planning to go?"
Zhu Feng simply said, "We've booked that place."
“…”
Xue Yun opened his eyes wide.
It’s packed?!
Did they book the entire Lianxin Club?
You know, the Xue family is one of the richest business families in Bailong City, but they can only hold banquets inside to entertain guests. I didn’t expect that they actually booked the entire Lianxin Club!
How much will this cost?
Putting this aside, since these people are from the Yan Kingdom court, money should not be a difficult problem for them to get. I just don’t know what they are going to do in there.
Xue Yun gradually felt that what Mr. Huang said they were going to do must be a "big thing"!
So we stopped talking along the way.
A group of people soon arrived at the gate of Lianxin Guild Hall. Before entering the city, Ye Zheng had sent someone to greet them. Originally, they came here only as officials of Yan State and had no intention of revealing Zhu Feng's identity.
Therefore, those who came to greet them just bowed to them and called them "Sir".
Zhu Feng glanced at Ying Shao who was standing at the door and asked, "How is it?"
Ying Shao immediately stepped forward and said, "Sir, everything has been arranged."
Zhu Feng looked around again.
As we walked along, we could feel that this place had been "cleaned up" very well by Ying Shao and his men. The several high-rise buildings around it were also taken over by them, so there would be no potential dangers around.
So he nodded and got off the horse.
Everyone dismounted at this point. Ye Zheng, holding the reins, was about to come over and say something to Zhu Feng when he suddenly heard a flurry of activity behind him.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master, be careful!"
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
When they turned around, they saw that Xue Yun somehow fell off the horse when he got off.
Fortunately, the people around her were quick to catch her.
Zhu Feng walked over and asked, "What's going on?"
Several servants who followed Xue Yun supported her. Xue Yun's face was extremely pale, even her lips had lost their color, and her legs were trembling slightly without any strength.
Looking again, Zhu Feng frowned.
The insides of her legs and her clothes were stained with blood.
"W-What's going on?!"
One of the women who looked like a maid immediately said, "My master has never ridden a horse for so long. His legs are all worn out."
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned.
To be exact, Xue Yun had been following them on horseback since he was rescued by them, and it had been almost two or three hours now.
Because he wasted time taking shelter from the rain, Zhu Feng did not rest during the rest of the journey.
Ye Zheng and his men had all experienced hardships, so this little bit of fatigue was nothing to them. So no one complained, and he didn't think much of it.
But I forgot——
Xue Yun is a woman.
Zhu Feng coughed lightly before saying, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Xue Yun's face was pale. The moment she fell into the water had already drained her of a lot of energy. Now, after riding for two or three hours, she had already reached her limit.
When he spoke, his voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.
He only said softly: "I, I don't want to delay the important matter of the young master."
