Chapter 20 Little Pervert
An Qin's eyes were so resolute and serious that Shen Gui almost thought his master was about to die and his identity had been exposed.
But if you think about it carefully, if the master really took out the jade pendant of the owner of the villa, how could An Qin, who is so loyal and honest, run to Fengyue Villa at this time? I'm afraid he would be eager to follow the master and stick to the master for fear that the master would make the slightest mistake.
After all, this child grew up under his care, and he is a very honest person.
Chen Gui felt more and more guilty, thinking that he was already middle-aged and had one foot in the coffin. He had helped his master kill many people in his life, but this was the first time he had teamed up with his master to deceive such a young man who was not even twenty years old.
Look, is this what you call a human thing?
When it comes to love, why don't they just lock the door and talk for half the night?
Chen Gui suppressed the guilty feeling rising in his heart, cleared his throat, and asked in surprise, "An Qin, what do you mean?"
The young man's already serious and handsome face became even more fierce, his narrow eyes lowered, and his clear voice lowered a few tones: "The imperial envoy that the owner of the manor sent me to escort this time is the same Taifu Chen Yanheng whose life he ordered to be taken."
"Oh, well—" Chen Gui hurriedly stroked his beard.
An Qin frowned in confusion, his brows forming a tight frown that looked like it could pinch a fly to death. "There's something fishy going on. The Grand Tutor actually got his hands on the account book of assassins kept in the manor. I'm afraid there are spies in the manor."
Chen Gui: “…”
Of course there are spies. The entire villa is full of the master's spies, especially the one standing in front of you, who is the master's biggest accomplice in deceiving the decent women and men this time.
Chen Gui sighed inwardly, his face composed as he urgently pondered a countermeasure. Suddenly, a flash of white light struck him, and he immediately had an idea. Rubbing his hands, he slowly said, "An Qin, you're worrying too much. I think the master must know that the imperial envoy is the Grand Tutor. The reason they asked you to escort him is because the imperial court sent the envoy not because of the flooding in Jiangzhou, but because of the remnants of the Zhulong Cult in Jiangzhou. They keep claiming to avenge Huang Chongwen, who previously severely injured you. These are traitors who collaborate with the enemy. How can the master allow them to do such evil? Of course, he must support the court's move."
As he spoke, Chen Gui's eyes lit up, and he continued with a smile, "Since the master has ordered you to escort the imperial envoy, just go. Don't worry about the one-month deadline. Be sure to keep a close eye on him to prevent him from falling into the hands of those traitors."
An Qin's doubts remained, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he could not find any flaws in the words.
After all, in order to bring down Huang Chongwen, the owner of Fengyue Villa had sent out eight or nine out of ten manpower. Now, in order to continue to eradicate the remnants, he would not hesitate to turn enemies into friends even at any cost.
Can……
Why is it always this disgusting gay...
An Qin had a cold and stern face. Although he looked calm, he had actually been thinking about everything that had happened in the past few days.
"Anqin, think twice before you act."
Don't kill your master accidentally.
Chen Gui put his hands in his pockets meaningfully, brushed past An Qin, and prepared to leave.
"Yes." An Qin frowned, clenched his fists at his sides, and suddenly raised his head, asking in a muffled voice, "Uncle Shen, An Qin still has questions. The Grand Tutor isn't a corrupt official, so why would the owner of the manor want his life?"
An Qin has been stalking the Taifu Mansion these days. He can proudly say that he has been to every corner of the Mansion, but he has not found a single piece of evidence of guilt.
Even though he didn't want to say a good word for Shen Yanheng, he had to admit that Shen Yanheng really didn't do anything to bully the good or the evil.
Fengyue Villa has always only accepted orders to assassinate corrupt officials and shameless people. He couldn't understand why the owner of the villa personally ordered to take Shen Yanheng's life.
How could the owner of the manor be a villain who abuses his power for personal gain!
Chen Gui paused, and a crack appeared on his old face, which had finally regained its composure. If An Qin looked up at this moment, he would see a flash of panic under Chen Gui's pair of gray eyes.
Ever since the old owner and his wife passed away, the master has become neurotic. He had no idea that the master had finally avenged his parents and stayed in the house for a month, only to come up with such a sick way of chasing people as soon as he came out.
Letting your subordinates take your life is probably stupid.
“Well, well…” Chen Gui wiped the sweat from his forehead, at a loss as to what to do. This was even more difficult than assisting the young master who had just lost his parents and was gloomy all day long.
The master just threw away his hands and pretended to be the imperial envoy of the Imperial Tutor without even informing him in advance.
Seeing Shen Gui hesitating, An Qin automatically attributed the matter to the owner of the manor, which was not something a mere assassin like him could inquire about casually.
Feeling somewhat disappointed, he lowered his head and said, "I have overstepped my bounds. I will accept the punishment later."
Chen Gui: “…”
The guilt in Chen Gui's heart became even stronger, and he choked, feeling overwhelmed.
An Qin clasped his hands together and said, "It's getting late. I'll take my leave first. Goodbye, Uncle Shen."
After all, the matter of the imperial envoy was clarified. Zhuangzi took Huang Chongwen's case very seriously. There must be no mistakes in the matter concerning Huang Chongwen. He had to go back quickly to protect the shameless homosexual and go to Jiangzhou.
An Qin's eyes flashed, and without even taking An Xiner's tea, he turned around and jumped into the woods.
Chen Gui: “…………”
Chen Gui breathed a sigh of relief invisibly, subconsciously stretched out his hand to Erkang, paused, and then pressed his raised hand back.
His old, yet not cloudy, eyes slowly fell on An Xin'er, who was waving goodbye to An Qin. Chen Gui thought for a moment, then came up with an idea. He rubbed his hands together and stepped forward with a loving smile, "Xin'er, you should continue to talk to me about what you and your brother like. If An Qin catches the owner's eye, you will naturally come and live in the mountains with us. I'll prepare your things first so we don't have to meet."
An Xiner was delighted when she heard this and covered her mouth in surprise: "Going to the mountain, brother can be a secret guard?"
Regardless of whether they were secret guards or the manor owner's wife, weren't they all doing close-knit work? Chen Gui's eyes drifted, he twirled his beard and nodded: "Yeah, I guess so, I guess so."
·
The other side.
An Qin quickly returned to where Chen Yanheng had set up camp.
As he approached the camp, he heard a number of people searching for him in the woods.
It took nearly two hours to go back and forth, so the reason of just going to the toilet was not valid.
Few people knew that Fengyue Villa was built here. Merchants and officials passing by, seeing the villages at the foot of the mountain, would only think that there were a few villages deep in the mountains that were isolated from the world. Who would have thought that even those "villagers" were relatives of the assassin.
Zhuangzi's location must not be exposed. An Qin's face turned cold, he hid in the dark shadows, silently put on a mask, and jumped onto the tree.
If he was to be taken advantage of in a carriage, he might as well hide in the dark for protection and go up when necessary, so as to avoid——
Before the plan was finished, a faint light of fire could be seen from the riverside. The louder voices than those searching for people drowned out the chirping of birds in the dark, making the whole place a mess.
"Fire!"
"Help!"
"The master is still in the tent, hurry up and save him!"
An Qin: “…”
Chen Yanheng's skills are quite good, so a small fire is nothing to be afraid of.
Maybe they couldn't find him, so they set the fire on purpose to lure him out. After all, this is not the first time they have done such a shameless thing.
The flames grew brighter, and the servant who had driven the carriage during the day screamed back and forth, "Ahhhh, the master hasn't come out yet, and the master's bed is covered with quilts. Who can help the master?"
An Qin: “…………”
Servant: "Ahhhhhhhh, save the master!"
An Qin: “………………”
An Qin's face turned grim and his brows furrowed again. He squatted on the treetop and watched the fire not far away grow bigger. He was annoyed by the shouting of the servant who seemed to have a loudspeaker, so he frowned and jumped over.
No matter what, since the owner of the manor has given the order, he must send Shen Yanheng to Jiangzhou safely.
An Qin arrived at the place where the fire started in an instant. Without even paying attention to the guards in servants' clothes who were showing surprise on their faces, he took a look around and found that the fire was spreading from the roasting fire.
The tent that burned the most fiercely was the one in the middle, which was the one that An Qin had set up for Chen Yanheng to stay in before he left.
The flames wrapped around the curtains on both sides, burning the top of the tent until only a few charred wood supporting it were left, and it looked like it was about to collapse.
An Qin's eyes slightly opened, the strings in his brain tightened, his mind went blank after the despicable face of Shen Yanheng flashed through his mind, and his body suddenly rushed in like an arrow.
Although the tent was burning fiercely, it was not difficult for someone with agility to rescue people from it.
He quickly avoided several fires and came into the tent, his eyes fixed on the man in white lying on the bed.
There was a lot of dust on Chen Yanheng's face, his eyes were closed, and his chest was heaving. He looked like he was unconscious. His messy appearance did not make him look embarrassed at all. He even looked more handsome than usual, and there was a bit of pitiful taste between his eyebrows.
An Qin immediately pursed his lips, reached out to pick up the man and put him on his back, carrying him out quickly, without noticing that there were not many places on fire in the tent, and most of them were porcelain. It was not as serious as the coachman said.
"grown ups!"
The guards rushed forward to surround An Qin, followed him to the riverside, carefully supported Shen Yanheng, and when they saw that he was still breathing, they breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to put out the fire.
The secret guards led by Ying Shijiu also breathed a sigh of relief: It was a close call, at least the master didn't burn himself to death.
An Qin also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief: The owner of the manor must not make any mistakes in his mission.
He looked expressionlessly at the fire behind him that was about to be put out, and the feeling that something was wrong came up in his heart again like a flood.
An Qin's vigilant eyes fell on Shen Yanheng's handsome face which was stained with dust. His expression paused, and his deep eyes moved smartly.
A cunning look flashed across his face, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch. An Qin grabbed Shen Yanheng's neck and happily pushed him into the river.
Chen Yanheng was caught off guard and choked on the water.
He laughed and cursed in his heart at the heartless little bastard, but when he saw that he couldn't pretend any longer, he simply grabbed the hand that was pressing on the back of his neck and pulled the person into the water.
He really is pretending! An Qin gritted his teeth.
The night was cool, and the river water was freezing.
Two grown men fell into the river with two "splashes" and rolled towards the center of the river. The water level, which seemed to be only up to their knees, was actually quite deep.
An Qin was forced to drink two sips of water, and was pulled into the water by Chen Yanheng. He kicked his leg and touched the rocks at the bottom of the river. He estimated that the river was about chest-high and would not drown anyone.
He struggled to stand up, but his body was held by Shen Yanheng. Fighting in water was different from fighting on land. He was at a disadvantage in terms of body shape and was entangled by Shen Yanheng.
An Qin glared at the person in front of him and simply closed his eyes.
Assassin training includes special training for holding breath underwater. Even if this shameless villain knows martial arts, he may not have practiced holding breath. When he can't bear it anymore, I will naturally let him go.
Nothing to worry about.
After a burst of violent waves, the river gradually calmed down. Two men, one black and one white, were entangled in the river, just like the reflected full moon in the sky entangled by dark clouds.
The air in An Qin's lungs began to decrease, and his ears were already red from being held back. He opened his eyes quickly, but because he was in the water, everything in front of him was dark and foggy.
The water began to ripple, and the next moment, something pushed the water aside and hit his lips directly.
An Qin was stunned for a moment, until the thing bit his lips and tried to pry open his teeth, then he realized what it was.
This dirty thing took the opportunity to kiss me again!
An Qin's chest was heaving, and he was anxious and angry. The air in his mouth was quickly depleted. His brain was deprived of oxygen, and his body reacted quickly to the air that suddenly came into his mouth, and he opened his mouth to wrap around it.
Shen Yanheng himself was already at the end of his strength. He held his breath until the very last moment before using his remaining survival instinct to suddenly pull the person out of the water.
The water level was only up to the chest, but the two men almost drowned. After suddenly surfacing, they took a deep breath.
Chen Yanheng's entire face was red, and the blue veins on his neck had not yet subsided, lurking beneath the surface of his skin and bulging with his breathing.
His shirt was disheveled, revealing his fair collarbone. It stuck to his chest, outlining the man's not-so-thin chest. The hair crown on his head had come undone at some point, revealing his long hair like a waterfall. Water droplets slid down his angular face, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. He lacked his usual elegance and bookish air, but instead gained a bit of grace, like a gorgeous mermaid with a fishtail on the coast.
An Qin was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Chen Yanheng who was so close to him, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.
Chen Yanheng looked at An Qin's flushed face, which turned even redder. He raised his eyebrows with interest, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and his chest floated on the water.
He took advantage of the ripples to get closer, lowered his head and put his face close to An Qin's.
The man's warm breath sprayed on the tip of his nose, and the young man's dazed pupils suddenly focused. Shen Yanheng let out a low laugh of pleasure, and his tone rose: "I can't believe that the assassin who is so serious in front of others is actually a little pervert."
