Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 127
Chapter 127 There’s So Much to Say
“Little miss!” Mammy Shen glared at Qiao Yunxi reproachfully.
Qiao Yunxi narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Alright, we’ll meet up now. You didn’t rest well on the way. You went to the relay station and slept well. Since you’re here for me, I won’t go out for a while. I’m really sorry for the money that the other party paid.”
“Miss, who do you think it is?” Huang Qi asked carefully.
Qiao Yunxi shook his head. “There are only a few choices left and right. What’s there to guess?”
After finishing the topic, the group arrived at the relay station and got off the carriage at the entrance. Qiao Yunxi saw a few dark horses in the stables.
She didn’t care and led everyone into the relay station.
A group of eight people, no more, no less.
After asking for the room, Qiao Yunxi went upstairs directly. He only reached the corridor when he saw the three people coming over. His face immediately darkened.
I didn’t read the almanac when I went out!
Tang Yuan’s eyes twitched!
Wo Cao was actually able to encounter it here!
Yu Guang glanced at his master. Seeing that there was no change in the rhythm of his feet, he was puzzled. Suddenly, he saw his master clenching his fists with his fingers hanging by his side. A wisp of understanding flashed through his eyes.
That’s right!
Master’s thoughts weren’t too hard to guess.
Qiao Yunxi gritted his teeth in hatred, but he didn’t openly face Gu Jinzhen outside. He rolled his beautiful eyes and brought Mammy Shen into the room.
Gu Jinzhen went downstairs without looking sideways. Just as Rice Cake was about to be taken out, he suddenly said, “It’s been so long anyway. Let’s stay here tonight.”
“No, sir, didn’t you say …”
“Master, this subordinate will get ready immediately.” Turning around, Tang Yuan raised her eyebrows.
Rice cake thought for a moment and followed behind Tang Yuan.
Originally, Gu Jinzhen and his group had only temporarily stopped to feed the horse some grain.
It was a tiring journey. Although Gu Jinzhen had no intention of staying at the relay station, he still wanted a room to take a bath and eat. He was just about to make his way overnight when he happened to meet Qiao Yunxi to stay.
So he changed his mind.
Tangyuan tactfully understood what Master meant. She immediately booked two rooms and carefully booked Gu Jinzhen’s room next door to Qiao Xi.
The next morning, Qiao Yunxi and the others went out and happened to meet Gu Jinzhen at the door.
He glanced at the stables and saw that the horses had already been pulled out. It seemed that Gu Jinzhen was about to set off as well.
Qiao Yunxi didn’t care if she was on the way with Gu Jinzhen or not. In any case, she sat in a carriage and walked slowly and leisurely. She wouldn’t meet Gu Jinzhen either.
However, after a stick of incense, she lifted the curtain and looked out. She happened to see the three black horses hanging behind her.
“What’s going on?” Seeing Qiao Xi’s expression change, Nanny Shen moved closer and saw the situation behind her. She asked, “Little Miss, that person …”
“Gu Sheng.”
“Childe Gu?”
Mammy Shen still knew about Gu Sheng. After all, he had only sent things to the Eastern Courtyard. Of course, there were also things in the Northern Courtyard.
“Gu Sheng is his pseudonym. His name is Gu Jinzhen and he is the grandson of the Duke of Zhen Yuan” Qiao Yunxi roughly explained Gu Jinzhen’s origin.
“Little miss, he’s following us …”
“It’s just a passing way,” Qiao Xi said casually, not wanting Nanny Shen to be worried. “This is the only way. We’re blocking it again. He can only follow behind. The road ahead is wide, so they’re ahead.”
When he said this, Qiao Yunxi was rather unconfident.
There were many stories that she and Gu Jinzhen had to tell each other. It was just a personal grudge, there was no need for everyone to know about it.
Qiao Yunxi did not know where he got the confidence that Gu Jinzhen would not do anything to her from now on. One had to know that the first time the two of them met, they would never stop. If Gu Jinzhen killed her in the wilderness now, it would only be a matter of moving his fingers.
No, you don’t even need to move your fingers. Don’t you still have dumplings?
As for the other one?
Haha, she doesn’t know him, it’s not within the scope of her consideration.
Marquis Zhen Yuan’s ancestral home was in Shu Zhou. The people of Shu Zhou were proud that they and Marquis Zhen Yuan were villagers. Mammy Shen was a member of the Gu Clan, and he was even more passionate than the ordinary people. Upon hearing that Gu Jinzhen was Marquis Zhen’s grandson, his favorable impression of him increased. He even ignored the strange way Gu Jinzhen had been following behind them.
“Miss, it’s raining.” He kept a close eye on the wolfberry outside the carriage and said inexplicably.
“Is it big?”
“It’s not big. It’s just a little secret. It looks like it will get bigger.”
Qiao Yunxi thought for a moment, “Let’s see if there’s a tea house or something in front of us. Let’s take a break for now.”
Although the carriage could block the rain, Wei Nanshui and Ma Biao were still outside. They were only delaying for a while, so she wasn’t in a hurry.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon there was a mist of water.
The spring rain was still cold in winter. Sitting in the tea house, Qiao Xi trembled coldly even though she was holding a teacup.
She tightened her cloak and looked through the mist.
The rain was too heavy and the visibility was very low. It was unknown when the sky had darkened.
At noon, when the temperature was the highest and the visibility was the best in the day, one could look around. It was dark and the visibility was less than ten meters. It was almost time to light the lights.
“Little miss …” Nanny Shen vigilantly sat over. “Something’s wrong.”
Qiao Yunxi nodded.
She was a martial arts practitioner, and her senses were already sharp. During this period of time, she had persisted in exercising, her body had recovered a lot, and she was even more alert to the surroundings.
Nanny Shen’s gaze moved over, and the guards accompanying her immediately clarified their respective division of labor.
Putting down her teacup, Qiao Xi picked out a plate of snacks for a long time, but she did not choose one she liked and could only give up.
“Boom.”
After a muffled thunder, a flash of white light flashed past his eyes.
“Clang!”
The sound of cold weapons confronting each other.
It’s not lightning!
Almost at the same time as the voice rang out, the people surrounding the table attacked.
As the air trembled, they each accurately met each other’s weapons.
Lycium barbarum already had experience, knowing that crying could not only suppress fear, but also drag down the people around her. She was naturally pulled by the people around her, resisting while retreating.
The same was true for Huang Qi. Although he was scared, he knew that this was a critical moment and he could not afford to mess with himself.
Qiao Xi was led by Nanny Shen.
She had always known that Mammy Shen knew martial arts, and this was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.
This was the ancient martial arts, different from the modern martial arts.
Modern Wushu is mostly for fitness and health. Even though she grew up in a dojo and kicked countless dojos, she was kicked countless dojos, but she never had the intention to kill.
These people were different. Their entire bodies were filled with the smell of blood, and their moves were fatal. In the eyes of the other party, they were nothing more than dead creatures, no different from sandbags that practiced martial arts.
Qiao Xi was very cooperative with Nanny Shen, occasionally poking her black hand underground.
On the other side, Gu Jinzhen also moved with the dumpling and rice cake at the first possible moment.
Regardless of who these people were targeting, Gu Jinzhen was also in the circle of slaughter.
However, what was that shadow that was getting closer and closer to Qiao Yunxi?
Taking the opportunity to dodge, Nanny Shen forcefully interposed herself between Qiao Xi and Gu Jinzhen. Finally, she did not forget to warn the other party with her gaze.
Gu Jinzhen responded seriously to the repeated attacks of the black-clothed man.
After Qiao Xi and the others were completely exposed, the other party also had a clear target. Apart from the two of them who were still entangling with Astragalus membranaceus and Lycium barbarum, the rest of them were all gathered at Qiao Xi’s place.
Wei Nanshui and Ma Biao bore the brunt and formed a circle, blocking Mammy Shen and Qiao Yunxi behind them. However, there were too many people on the other side. Round after round of tiredness bombardment, no matter how formidable Mammy Shen’s skill was, there were times when he would lose one thing and lose the other. Fortunately, Gu Jinzhen had joined, and the situation had changed by half.
“Who are you provoking? You can be hunted down in the wilderness?” The words that he was obviously concerned about turned into sarcasm in Gu Jinzhen’s mouth.
Haha.
Qiao Xi slashed her saber at the other party and didn’t forget to go back. “Who did I provoke? It’s none of your business!”
“You!” Gu Jinzhen blushed. “It has nothing to do with me, but you’re implicating me now!”
“Did I let you follow me? Did I let you take action?” Qiao Xi’s tongue was more agile than her skill, and before she could release her moves, she threw them out with a slip of her firecracker.
Gu Jinzhen stopped talking and concentrated on protecting Qiao Yunxi behind him.
The situation that had already been reversed was interrupted by another group of black-clothed men who had ambushed him.
Qiao Xi looked up.
In the dark and heavy weather, the air pressure pressed on his chest. He was already depressed. The water mist surrounded him, and a place three meters away was blurry. The rain hit his face with pain, let alone the adherent clothes that affected his movements.
The reason why she discovered the new batch of black-clothed people was entirely because … the other party’s swords were exceptionally obvious in the dark night.
Qiao Xi thought with an evil interest, If only there were a few bolts of lightning at this time.
The new black-clothed man seemed to be stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect this situation to be like this. He was at least an assassin who had experienced great scenes. The leader waved his arm and the new dozen or so people immediately pounced towards Gu Jinzhen.
“Stay away from me. They’re here for you.” Qiao Yunxi muttered disdainfully. At such a critical juncture, she actually had the leisure to care who was dragging who down. She immediately turned around and pulled Mammy Shen, using the opportunity of dodging and confrontation to open the distance between her and Gu Jinzhen.
Gu Jinzhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that there were two familiar shadows beside him. He suddenly frowned and said, “Leave me alone. Go over there …”
However, Yours Truly … The rice cake didn’t know why, but when it saw Tang Yuan leaping towards Qiao Xi, it instinctively reacted and followed.
He could not compare to Tang Yuan in terms of guessing his master’s thoughts, but he only needed to follow Tang Yuan.
Mammy Shen used two short sabers. This surprised Qiao Yunxi. Martial artists, especially female martial artists, rarely used two sabers. For example, she had recovered more than half of her skills and only used a long sword.
“Huala.”
The sound of the cloth being torn apart was followed by a bloody smell, which turned from faint to dense.
Ah.
In the end, she was soft-hearted.
Driven by Qiao Yunxi, the group gradually leaned towards Gu Jinzhen.
