Chapter 139 See You Again
After running day and night for seven days, Yun Chen finally returned to Nan Country.
"Have you heard? The Huo Clan's young master's leg disease has healed and he can stand up!"
"It seems like she's a maid serving under the princess. She went through great pains to find some miraculous medicine and cured the Huo Clan's young master's leg disease. She's truly devoted!"
"I also heard that in order to repay the female official's kindness, the Huo Gang's young master wanted to marry her!"
"Of course I did! After nearly ten years in a wheelchair, I'm now fully recovered. Anyone would be overjoyed. Any way to repay my benefactor is truly incredible!"
"It is said that Young Master Huo sleeps standing up now. He spends his days either climbing walls or riding horses to hunt. Sometimes he wields swords and guns non-stop, and sometimes he drags his guards to race horses. He has run so hard that even more than a dozen horses are fainted. He is so happy that he doesn't know what to do with his legs. Hahahaha——"
Hearing these exaggerated and funny rumors, Yun Chen could almost imagine how happy Huo Gannian was.
She knew she should be happy for him.
But she just couldn't laugh.
Not only could I not laugh, but I also kept crying for no apparent reason.
The Huo Gang had branches all over the country of Nan, and wherever she went she could hear people talking about Huo Gannian.
Yes, he is the high and mighty young master of the Huo Gang, who controls half of the financial power of the Nan Kingdom and is a politician who can make things happen with a wave of his hand.
He is also a perfect and peerless young man who has charmed countless young girls with his looks alone.
Such people are naturally always at the forefront of public opinion, and their every move attracts the attention of the world.
The closer we got to Yancheng, the more rumors became more and more true. They were so real that even the day Huo Gannian had a banquet, how many glasses of wine he drank, how he laughed to the sky, and how he was so passionate and unrestrained, were all told vividly.
Yun Chen's pace became slower and slower, and his eager and passionate heart became colder day by day.
She rarely disguised herself, but this time she changed into the most ordinary appearance, not wanting to be recognized by anyone from the Huo Gang.
She began to shrink back, thinking that there was no need for her to see it with her own eyes, right?
When she finally arrived at Yancheng after much delay, she paused for a long time, her mind struggling with uncertainty:
Don't go, it's enough to know that he is safe;
Go ahead, even if there is no love, she still owes you a favor;
But she was expelled from the Huo Gang by him... In the more than a year since she left the Huo Gang, she always tried to avoid thinking about it. But the cold eyes that rejected her from a thousand miles away that day, and the heartless face, just a little thought of it, she still felt heartbroken.
That day, under the guidance of her grandmother, she made up her mind to go to Dongyan Kingdom to steal the Wind-Scorching Grass.
This is to repay his kindness and get another chance to return to the Huo Gang.
Even if you never express your feelings throughout your life, it’s okay to just keep this feeling deep in your heart.
She originally wanted to protect him, to stay at the place closest to him in this world, and watch him covered in glory and be so arrogant.
What a pity... Now I finally know that Songlan is the one he loves.
Then go ahead, see him one last time, congratulate him on his marriage, and say goodbye properly.
With this thought in mind, Yun Chen stood in front of the gate of the Huo Mansion.
In an instant, she felt as if she had been drenched in ice water. She lost all thoughts of "meeting" and stared blankly ahead, muttering:
"Grandma, is this what 'a bloody head' means?..."
In front of the familiar gate of the Huo Mansion, there were two large stone lions, covered with red flowers and red silk.
A big "喜" character was hung on the plaque of the Huo Mansion.
The ground is covered with red firecrackers, just as festive as a wedding.
She lowered her head, sniffed, and tried not to think or look.
After hesitating for a long time, she decided not to meet him.
Just look at him from a distance and say goodbye in your heart.
So, in the corner of an alley not far from the Huo Mansion, in a dark place where all the patrolling guards could not see her, she stood there until dark.
The injuries on her body had not yet healed completely. She had been experiencing sharp pains in her chest and numbness in the past few days. She endured the pain, concentrated her energy, and quietly climbed up the high and wide wall of the Huo Mansion.
She headed in the direction of Beiningtang, but was stopped by a secret guard halfway.
The secret guard had already drawn his sword, ready to fight, but suddenly froze and called out, "Yun Chen?"
Yun Chen did not recognize the person in front of him, but the secret guard said:
"Brother Yun, you don't recognize me, but I recognize you. I have always been a secret guard beside the young master."
Yun Chen felt that these words were very familiar. Before he could think about it, the secret guard asked again:
"Brother Yun, you sneaked into the mansion at night, what are you doing?"
Yun Chen scratched his head embarrassedly, "I don't mean anything else, I just heard that the young master's leg disease has healed, and I wanted to come and see him."
The dark guard's eyes softened and he sighed:
"Alas, Brother Yun, you know you're no longer a member of the Huo Gang. I really can't let you in like this. How about I help you pass the message? The Young Master wouldn't be so cruel as to not even want to see you, right?"
"No, no, no!" Yun Chen waved his hands quickly, "There's no need to upset the young master. I can just watch from a distance... or..."
Recalling the scene of being expelled, she lowered her head in shame and said, "You don't have to watch it... I won't cause you any trouble."
The secret guard nodded, thought for a moment, and then said:
"How about I call Brother Buyan over? He should be on duty beside the young master right now. He misses you so much and talks about you every day. Now that he's about to see you, he must be so happy!"
Yun Chen refused again, "Forget it... He has a loud voice. I'm afraid that once we meet, he will shout loudly and everyone will know about it. The young master will definitely know."
I looked in the direction of Beining Hall, and saw only layers of roof tiles in front of me, which was still very far away.
"Is the young master's leg completely healed?" she asked.
The secret guard said happily, "He's completely healed! He can run and jump! Every day before dawn he drags Brother Ye Yan and Brother Hua Jue for a run! All thanks to Lady Song Lan. She brought some magical herbs and medicine. The young master took them, and after a few days of acupuncture, he was healed immediately!"
She also laughed and said happily: "That's great!"
The secret guard also said:
"The young master used to eat little and was very thin, but now he's so happy that he can eat three bowls of rice in one meal and walks with the swift gait of a tiger. He's so handsome!"
She curved her lips into a smile. She could imagine his happy face, but she couldn't imagine him standing up and walking.
"Young Master...are you going to marry Lady Songlan?"
"It seems so. The princess has come to visit me several times personally for this matter."
"fine……"
After a moment of silence, she forced a smile:
"Okay, what you said is enough. I'm leaving now, and don't tell anyone that you saw me tonight."
The secret guard only thought that Yun Chen was expelled from the Huo Gang. He was afraid that it would be embarrassing if it was made public, so he immediately agreed and promised with a pat on his chest:
"As brothers, I promise to keep my mouth shut."
Yun Chen thanked him and then left.
The secret guard looked at the direction where Yun Chen left and couldn't help but sigh again.
At this time, another secret guard came over and asked curiously:
"Why are you standing here alone?"
"Nothing, just some fresh air."
"Hey, why hasn't Brother Lu Liang come back yet? He's been away on some mission. It's been over a year. I heard that Brother Lu Liang might have followed the expelled Yun Chen."
"ah?"
"This is also what we privately speculated. Brother Lu Liang might have secretly gone to protect Yun Chen."
"But wasn't Yunchen expelled from the Huo Clan? Why did the young master let our Feixianfu test's top-ranked expert protect him?"
"I've already said it's just speculation. Who can guess what the young master is thinking?"
The secret guard nodded in agreement, looked at the direction where Yun Chen left again, moved his mouth, but said nothing in the end.
