Chapter 313: Dangerous (Part 2)
Su Peier said quickly: "Yes, Miss Ye Er has been traveling all the way, it's time to have a good rest."
As she spoke, she was about to get up and make the bed for Ye Chutang, but was stopped by Ye Chutang.
"Don't bother. I'll just sleep on the small couch next to you."
Su Peier felt something was wrong: "How can this be possible?"
Ye Chutang saved her life, but now that she was here, she couldn't even let her have a good sleep. That was really -
Ye Chutang waved his hand casually and lay down on the small couch.
"It's nice here."
There were many days when she enjoyed Xi Tianmu Di's company in the past, and she didn't feel anything about it.
Su Pei'er wanted to say something else, but Ye Chutang raised his finger and hushed her softly.
"It's not good to wake up your little maid. She is still young and it's time for her to sleep and grow."
Su Peier: “…”
Seeing Ye Chutang's insistence, and a hint of fatigue visible between his eyebrows in the flickering candlelight, Su Peier could not bear to disturb him any longer, and finally agreed, then brought over a brand new quilt.
"This is the quilt I just made the day before yesterday. Please don't dislike it, Miss Ye Er."
Ye Chutang smiled and said thank you.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Su Peier took one last look at Ye Chutang who was lying on the small couch. She had closed her eyes and was breathing quietly, as if she had fallen asleep.
Su Pei'er sighed softly in her heart, feeling quite distressed, and tiptoed to blow out the lamp.
…
The next morning, the maid came knocking on the door.
"Girl, it's time to wake up."
Su Pei'er woke up when she heard the sound, and immediately sat up and looked at the small couch, but was stunned.
There was no one there.
If it weren't for the neatly folded quilt, she would almost think that everything was a dream from last night.
"Miss?" The little maid knocked twice again.
Su Peier responded: "Coming."
As she got up, changed her clothes and washed up, she silently wondered where Ye Chutang had gone.
Have you already been to the mine?
Thinking of this, she felt even more worried.
Although Miss Ye Er is very capable, she is unfamiliar with Shiluan City after all. If something unexpected happens...
"Miss, why are you so absent-minded today?" The little maid saw that she looked strange and couldn't help asking in a crisp voice.
Su Peier came back to her senses and put away all the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
"Nothing. It doesn't look like it will rain today, so I'll go out for a walk later."
The little maidservant did not doubt him and nodded with a smile: "Okay!"
…
After Ye Chutang woke up, he did not go directly to the mine outside the city, but instead wandered around the city.
What Sun Lian said at the beginning, that this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful natural conditions, is indeed not false.
The Fuhe River runs through the city. Standing on the river bank and gazing at the mountains in the distance, all the scenery is shrouded in white mountain mist. The air is moist with a slight chill of autumn, which is really refreshing.
Ye Chutang's fatigue from the past few days was swept away, and his mood became much better.
As the sun rose higher, the streets became more lively, with people coming and going.
No one noticed the young man wearing a gray-green brocade robe and a woven hat.
At the same time, a group of people were leaving from the city gate.
In front of him was a man dressed in tight clothes sitting on a horse with a sword at his waist. It was Lian Zhou.
He pulled the reins, walked to the side of the carriage, and whispered something.
A slender hand lifted the curtain, and only the lower half of the face was vaguely visible, but it was still not difficult to guess how handsome its owner was.
He nodded his chin and lowered the curtain again.
Lian Zhou drove his horse forward: "The master has ordered that we have been delayed on the road for some time, so we need to move faster and arrive as soon as possible!"
The others all responded in unison: “Yes!”
Lian Zhou squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and said, "Go!"
The horses galloped quickly, and the figures of the group gradually disappeared in the distance.
…
Ye Chutang spent a whole day touring half of Shiluan City.
When night fell, she went to a small tavern by the river that was doing good business, sat down in a secluded corner, and ordered some food and wine.
After taking off the hat, a handsome and heroic face of a young man was revealed.
Occasionally someone would glance at her, then look away when they saw she was just eating and drinking.
Half an hour later, Ye Chutang paid the bill and left.
She strolled along the river, and the evening breeze brought with it a faint smell of alcohol.
After a few turns, her figure completely disappeared in the crowd and the night.
…
The mine was pitch black at night, with only a few sparks visible occasionally, which I guess were the iron-smelting furnaces.
Two men were standing outside the gate on guard.
One of them yawned, and the other one whispered to him, "Pay attention! If the superiors see you, you'll be whipped again!"
"I just yawned, I didn't really fall asleep." The man who was criticized was dissatisfied, "This guard has been six hours, who wouldn't be sleepy?"
"That's why we have to be careful! Don't forget what happened to Lao Zhang the last time he made mistakes because of drinking!"
After hearing this, the man finally felt a little scared.
He looked back and muttered, "This mine is so small, why is it so heavily guarded? No one has the guts to come here and cause trouble."
After he finished speaking, he heard that the other party did not respond. He felt strange and turned his head to look: "Hey, I said--"
The next moment, he felt a pain in the back of his neck.
not good!
Before he could open his mouth, his vision went dark and he passed out completely.
Everything happened silently, and as the light was dim, it did not attract the attention of others.
Shen Yanchuan moved his feet and was about to move forward.
suddenly!
Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he suddenly turned around and swung out with his palm!
However, the next moment, he suddenly saw those dark and calm eyes, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he stopped his movements abruptly!
The moon was hidden behind the dark clouds, letting out only a faint light.
In the dim night, the two people who should have been thousands of miles apart stared at each other.
In the subtle silence, Ye Chutang hesitated for the first time.
——Recognized it?
No, when did her disguise skills become so bad?
Chen Yanchuan felt a rare sense of absurdity in his heart, but in the absurdity, there was also a subtle and undetectable joy.
Hmm... they can meet here too. I have to say that they are destined to meet each other?
Ye Chutang looked down at the two unconscious people on the ground and felt relieved.
Never mind that someone's methods were more brutal than her disguise.
He wasn't worried about being discovered at all.
As if he could see her thoughts and the hint of doubt, Shen Yanchuan whispered: "They change shifts every two hours. No one will come during this time."
The search was complete.
Ye Chutang nodded and asked, "Do you want to go in too?"
Her voice was extremely low and very different from her usual tone, making her sound like a cheerful young man.
Chen Yanchuan suppressed the strangeness in his heart and nodded.
However, before he could utter the word "together", he heard Ye Chutang say:
"Since you're going, then I won't go, right?"
She said honestly,
"It's dangerous."
