"Brother Liao!" Liu Hua shouted at Liao Chongwu's back unwillingly. Liao Chongwu didn't even turn his head, but just stretched out his hand and shook her. Liu Hua couldn't shout anymore. Seeing Liao Chongwu's figure getting farther and farther away, Liu Hua's nose was sore with grievance. "Why do you just look down on me?"
…
"Xiao Gao, why are you here so suddenly?" Liao Chongwu ran to the stone gate in one breath. He couldn't wait to catch his breath. He hurriedly asked Gao Zhiqi, "Did something happen? Or does His Highness have something to tell you?"
"Neither," Gao Zhiqi looked at Liao Chongwu with a complicated expression. He paused, then said, "Brother Liao. His Highness is here."
"He's here?" Liao Chongwu froze. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly grabbed Gao Zhiqi's arms and asked anxiously. "Where is His Highness? Where is he?"
"Brother Liao, I'll take you there right now." Gao Zhiqi looked at Liao Chongwu's face, which was filled with thirst and surprise. He sighed silently in his heart, and both he and Liao Chongwu got on their horses. Then they rode away.
…
"Brother Liao, we are here." Gao Zhiqi got off his horse when they arrived at a simple inn at the foot of the mountain.
"My Lord... does my master live here?" Liao Chongwu frowned and looked at the low door lintel in front of him, feeling really uncomfortable.
"I have no choice. I left the capital secretly this time. I was afraid of being seen. I took small roads all the way. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken me so many days to get here," Gao Zhiqi explained. He tied up the horse and took Liao Chongwu into the inn. He lowered his voice and said to Liao Chongwu, "I can't stay in the palace this time, so the lower the better. Fortunately, this inn is quiet and a place where I can meet people and talk about things."
"Got it." Liao Chongwu nodded and followed Gao Zhiqi up the stairs. In fact, he wanted to ask what the current situation in the capital was like, how Zhong Minge had survived the rumors, and what countermeasures he had thought of. However, after looking around, he decided not to ask. He followed Gao Zhiqi up to the third floor and came to the door of the innermost guest room.
"Sir, Brother Liao is here," Gao Zhiqi walked up and knocked gently on the door, then said to Liao Chongwu, "Brother Liao, please go in. The entire third floor has been reserved. I'll be guarding outside."
Liao Chongwu didn't hear what Gao Zhiqi was saying at all, his mind was focused on this door, and the light footsteps coming from behind the door. He became nervous again and took a few deep breaths, but still felt short of breath. He felt that he was extremely useless, but at the same time he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Gao Zhiqi looked at him like this and said nothing more. He turned around and left. When he reached the stairs, he stood guard there like a door god.
"I know!"
There was a crack in the door, and Liao Chongwu rushed in without stopping for a moment. He quickly locked the door with his backhand, then turned around and was stunned. Before he could say anything, a horsewhip had already hit him hard. With a "swish", his sleeve was torn. Liao Chongwu felt a sudden pain in his arm, and then blood oozed out.
The whip came again, but this time the force was much less, and it still hit the door in the end.
"Who asked you to get married? Who allowed you to get married?!" Zhong Minge walked in front of Liao Chongwu with a whip in his hand. He pointed the whip at Liao Chongwu with gritted teeth, "Liao Chongwu, you are getting bolder and bolder. How dare you have such thoughts?"
"Ming'e," Liao Chongwu's heart ached as soon as he met those cold eyes. His nose was sore and his eyes were swollen. He looked greedily back and forth on Zhong Ming'e's face, and finally fell on those cold eyes. When he spoke again, his voice was hoarse, "Ming'e, are you okay? Chengzi, you have been wronged."
“Snap!”
The next second, the whip in his hand fell to the ground, and his cold eyes suddenly became moist. Zhong Minge suddenly threw herself into Liao Chongwu's arms, leaned on the man's arms, and burst into tears: "Liao Chongwu, I'm not afraid of anything, I can get through anything, I'm just afraid... I'm afraid that you won't want me, Liao Chongwu, please don't want me, in this world, anyone can want me, but you can't, Liao Chongwu, without you, I... I can't live at all..."
