Chapter 157 "Night Fury" was captured
The moonlight is just right today, the silver light shines on the ground and illuminates the way ahead.
After hearing Ye Chutang's question, Qi Yanzhou looked back.
The handsome young man had a smile on his face, his eyes crushed the starlight, and his sexy thin lips opened and closed.
"Go goose hunting."
Although Ye Chutang is not obsessed with looks, she also likes to look at handsome guys.
Her heartbeat quickened and her cheeks flushed with heat because of Qi Yanzhou's high-spirited spirit.
"Okay, lead the way."
The capital city is located in the north. It takes three months for wild geese to fly from the south to the north in March and reach the northernmost place.
Now is the time when wild geese fly to the capital, which is the best time to hunt.
Qi Yanzhou asked his men to observe and found that wild geese sometimes passed by the Netherworld Mountain near the Night Fury's lair.
The two men rode their horses up the narrow mountain path.
The higher we went, the more difficult it became for the horses, the road became more difficult to travel on, and our speed slowed down.
Ye Chutang said to Qi Yanzhou, "I guess the place of exile is the northwest border. There is a shortage of supplies there, and many people die every winter. I want to transport a batch of medicinal materials there. I have already discussed it with the owner of Xinglin Hall. Do you have anyone available in the northwest?"
Qi Yanzhou and Ye Chutang had the same guess.
“Not now, but possible.”
The Northeastern Qi Family Army and the Northwestern Luo Family Army are adjacent to each other, and the two armies have some friendship.
As long as he gave a word, he could send the Qi family army's trusted old subordinates to the northwest.
Ye Chutang: "Give me an address and I'll ask the herbal medicine dealer to deliver the herbs directly."
"It takes time to make arrangements, and it's hard to tell you the exact address. How about letting my people go to the northwest with you?"
"That's fine too. We can trust our own people more."
When Qi Yanzhou heard the words "our own people", the corners of his lips curled up.
He gave the black jadeite token, which represented his identity, to Ye Chutang.
"Take this to Yingchunyuan or Guangjuxuan, and you can deploy my people at your will."
Ye Chutang looked at the black jade card that had returned to her hand and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I'll betray you?"
"I enjoy it."
"Love-brained."
Qi Yanzhou didn't understand the meaning of the word and was about to ask for clarification when Ye Chutang changed the subject.
She told the emperor how he planned to frame the Qi family.
Qi Yanzhou guessed the weapons and letters, but he didn't expect there was also a voodoo doll.
"A person who is so afraid of death actually curses himself in order to bring down the Qi family."
Ye Chutang raised her eyebrows, her pretty face looking a little cold in the moonlight.
"When the curse comes true, the dog emperor will look ridiculous when he regrets his decision."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cries of wild geese sounded overhead.
They both looked up at the same time.
The geese flew in the shape of a "human" from south to north, and from time to time a long "ga" sound could be heard.
Qi Yanzhou took out a slingshot and a stone wrapped in cloth from his sleeve pocket.
The slingshot was pulled open, and the stone with internal force was shot out, hitting the goose's head.
The stone is wrapped in cloth, so it won't hurt your brain.
The geese fell from the sky.
A wild goose at the back was circling in the sky, looking at the fallen goose and letting out a painful cry.
Qi Yanzhou knew that the two geese were a pair and shot them down.
The geese traveling with them immediately filled the gap and continued to fly north.
Qi Yanzhou dismounted and picked up the two dizzy geese.
He checked the goose's head and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure it was not injured.
I'll raise the goose tonight and send it to Atang alive tomorrow morning.
Seeing Qi Yanzhou putting the wild goose into the bag, Ye Chutang asked, "Go down the mountain?"
Qi Yanzhou jumped on his horse and said, "Go up the mountain."
The further up the mountain you go, the narrower the road becomes, with branches on both sides extending into the road, making it look deserted.
After walking for about two cups of tea, the view in front of me suddenly became clear.
The two have reached the top of the mountain.
Ye Chutang rode a horse and stood side by side with Qi Yanzhou.
Standing on the top of Nether Mountain, you can overlook the entire capital city from afar.
The main street is bright, with thousands of lights flickering in and out.
Qi Yanzhou said: "Under the prosperity of the capital, countless people are hungry. There is paradise, and there is hell on earth."
Ye Chutang felt Qi Yanzhou's compassion and held his hand which was cooled by the night wind.
"Everything that goes up must come down, and everything that goes down must be reversed. Everything will be fine."
Qi Yanzhou held Ye Chutang's hand in his own and wrapped her hand in his palm.
"Atang, look up."
Ye Chutang looked up subconsciously.
On the azure sky, there is a cool and bright full moon, and there are twinkling stars.
The sky is so clear that one feels as if one can pick the stars with one's hands.
It's so beautiful that it seems unreal.
Qi Yanzhou looked at Ye Chutang who was looking at the moon and unconsciously uttered a line of poetry.
"There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent. One glance from her could bring down a city, another glance could bring down a country."
[Note: From Li Yannian of the Han Dynasty, "Song of the Beautiful Woman"]
Ye Chutang turned his head and looked at the handsome Qi Yanzhou, his eyes full of admiration.
"Azhou is no less beautiful than her. Lang Yan is unique and there is no other like her in the world."
[Note: From the song "Bai Shi Lang Qu" by an unknown author in the Song Dynasty]
She suddenly thought of Song Jingning.
A man who is equally talented and handsome, but his temperament is completely different from Qi Yanzhou's.
It's probably the difference between a gentle scholar and a jade-faced general.
Qi Yanzhou saw that Ye Chutang was distracted and gently squeezed her hand.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "I was wondering who is more popular with the girls, Song Jingning or you."
Hearing this, Qi Yanzhou suddenly remembered that the deer Ye Chutang had given him before was hunted in Meishan with Song Jingning.
"Atang, you seem to be different towards Song Jingning."
Ye Chutang did not deny it and nodded.
She looked towards the dimming lights of the capital city and locked onto the location of the Shangshu Mansion.
"I have a brother who was smothered to death by Kong Ru when he was born. Ye Jingchuan thought it was bad luck, so he had his servants throw him into the river and let him float downstream."
Qi Yanzhou knew that Ye Chutang and Song Jingning had similar features and looked at her in surprise.
"Do you suspect Song Jingning is your brother?"
"It's not that I doubt it, I just don't want to miss any possibility, so I shamelessly followed Song Jingning to Meishan."
"Are you sure it's not Song Jingning?"
Ye Chutang said "hmm".
"Song Jingning was born in Liangzhou, more than ten days younger than me."
"I didn't expect your birthdays to be so close. Do you want me to check?"
"No need. Kong Ru is too vicious. She won't let my brother survive."
Moreover, it was freezing cold at the time, and the probability of a premature baby who was suffocated to death surviving in the river was almost zero.
Unless he was extremely lucky, he would be rescued by someone with medical skills not long after being thrown into the river.
Ye Chutang felt that this was more difficult than spending two dollars to win five million.
Qi Yanzhou held Ye Chutang's hand tightly.
"Atang, maybe your brother is still alive, don't be discouraged."
Just as he finished his words of comfort, he saw the faint glow of fire in the woods.
"The Night Fury has been captured, let's go."
Although Qi Yanzhou agreed to bring Ye Chutang to the lair of "Night Fury", he never thought of letting her take risks.
So he took her to the top of the mountain to see the scenery under the pretext of hunting geese.
Ye Chutang pulled his hand back and held the reins tightly.
"Let's go."
