Gallinas y perros vuelan en el caos y el renacimiento

Capítulo 83

"You can go now," he said softly, turning away.

"Should I thank you... or..." She stood up unsteadily, reaching out to cover her chest.

“No need.” He waved his hand decisively. “I’ll give you a chance.”

“You are arrogant. Do you know that letting me go is tantamount to going against the entire Tianmiao Peak?”

"I've said it before, I'm not afraid. If I'm capable of doing it, I'm prepared to bear the consequences."

Even if it involves other people?

"What did you say?"

"Fifteen, the sect leader has great pity for you..."

"Shut up—"

"Get out of here before I change my mind."

The man gave a bitter smile and walked away.

He was almost at the door when he suddenly stopped.

“If it weren’t for that person, wanting to see him one last time, I wouldn’t be living a miserable life in your hands,” she said.

"Don't try to show off your great love in front of me, I'm not interested."

"Fifteen, one day you will understand..."

"I've said it before, I'm not interested."

"Nineteen...you must treat her well."

Chu Gexing shuddered.

But the person had already stepped out the door.

Is this woman insane?

Treat her well?

Ha, well, we'd have to ask that person if they want her. Besides, why should we treat her well?

Did Jin go looking for her? Why did he go looking for her?

The song of Chu brings me great distress.

With nowhere to vent his anger, he turned around and slammed his hand on the table next to him.

"Eight years together," he thought. "Eight years, you should have done everything by now, yet you remain so stubborn, like two stars in the sky. Even though you always gaze at each other, you are separated by a hundred years and cannot get close. What does that matter?"

He sneered, "This is your great love? Gold and Silver Envoys, don't make me laugh." His expression was clearly disdainful.

Why does my heart feel so empty?

I gaze up at the half-moon in the sky while singing the Chu song.

If this is love, then stand far away and watch silently...

How can this desolation be considered love!

Even though he didn't know it. He didn't understand, but he also understood: the two of them saw each other every day, cooperated seamlessly, and had an extremely tacit understanding, yet they were destined not to embrace each other, and their laughter and conversations could not express any intimacy.

How can this be love? It's clearly torture.

The only thing we can do is wait for it to dry and use it as a specimen.

Hahaha... Utterly ridiculous.

but……

Suddenly I thought, what if it were me...

His gaze shifted, and he leaped out the door.

It's really incomprehensible. I'm clearly thinking about an absurd and pointless question, yet my body is doing something even more absurd and pointless.

When Chu Gexing realized where he was standing in the cool night air, he wondered: Could it be that I wanted to go and watch the excitement?

Until I saw that person.

She was dressed in red and stood by the window.

He hid in the darkness, and when he saw her for a fleeting moment, he felt both amused and at ease. Later, he began to fear being discovered by her, and for some reason, he felt slightly embarrassed.

Suddenly, I heard her call out a name.

Chu Gexing seemed to catch a faint fragrance of flowers in the darkness, a fragrance that softened his heart. He looked at her and asked, "Why...why are you calling my name?"

Actually, reaching out to hug her was an instinctive act.

But if the mind can't process it, then the mouth naturally can't explain it either.

So they resorted to the oldest, most boring, and most shameless excuse.

Actually, looking at her back, he wanted to get closer, but she feared him like a snake, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Aren't you leaving yet?

"Did it bother you?"

"Xiao Di will be back soon. You should know that things aren't right between you two."

"That brat is nothing to me."

"Hey, you're not that old, are you?"

Le Yan turned her head, reached out and touched her chin, and looked at the person in front of her.

“Older than him.” Chu Gexing smiled, looking at her.

“Alright, since that’s the case, we can’t bully the weak. Xiao Di is currently guarding the Emperor for me, and he’s already full of resentment towards me. If he sees you here, it will only make things worse. If he acts up and slacks off, I’ll be the one who suffers.”

"You sent Xiao Di to protect the Emperor. Speaking of which, I've been wanting to ask you the same thing: why did you do that?"

"There are reasons why I must do this. Hey, Admiral, can we talk about this tomorrow? I'm sleepy too."

"Hmm... alright, you can figure it out yourself."

"Well then, the door is over there. Goodbye, and best of luck."

"polite."

Chu Gexing turned around, and his figure slowly disappeared at the courtyard gate.

Le Yan sighed, then coughed, "Oh, why hasn't Xiao Di returned yet? I'm really worried about him."

After a while, he said again, "He wouldn't be happy to be in such a boring place as the palace, sob sob, actually I can't bear it either."

As he was talking to himself, his voice full of emotion, he heard a cold voice coming from outside the wall: "Please stop acting."

Le Yan smiled and said, "Since you're back, why don't you come in?"

"What good show would you see if you went in?" the man continued coldly.

"Little Di, Little Di, you must believe that I have a heart full of devotion to you."

"Forget it, I don't want it, and I can't afford it."

"You can come in and talk, it's fine."

"It's late at night. I'm afraid someone might transform. I have to go to court tomorrow, so I'm going to bed early."

After he finished speaking, he heard a whooshing sound, indicating that Xiao Di had already left.

Le Yan stood there blankly for a while before turning around and going back to her room.

Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Capital Chapter 99 Assassination

The air in Shundu has been unusual lately.

First, the Grand Secretary, who was known as the "perpetual ice man," suddenly fell ill for no apparent reason.

It is said that the day before he fell ill, the Grand Secretary's sedan chair was attacked.

Later, General Xue Nuo, who was guarding the East Sea, and the envoy from the Northern Frontier secretly returned to Shundu together.

These two people haven't returned for over a decade.

Although the three high-ranking officials entered the palace to meet the emperor the day after the envoys from the northern frontier returned.

However, strange rumors had already been circulating among the court officials outside the capital.

The conservative faction, which had long disliked the Grand Secretary for holding power for so many years, and the visionary innovators, both found themselves in conflict.

The former felt that the emperor's power was too great. With Chu Zhongtang at the head, the three outstanding men of Chu were already influential figures in Shundu and could not be underestimated. In addition, with the return of two veteran ministers, it seemed that the emperor was harboring evil intentions. Otherwise, he would not have secretly summoned his two colleagues back to Shundu. There must be some unspeakable secrets or a huge conspiracy hidden in this.

The latter disapproved of Chu Zhen's long-standing control of the government and his unshakeable position. Although there were rumors in Danning Kingdom in recent years that a regent prince was in charge of the government, he was a prince regent, while Chu Zhen was just a relative of the imperial family and not a true member of the royal family.

Amidst the unease in people's hearts, ghosts and demons abound. When news of the emperor's assassination attempt spread through the palace, Le Yan was a guest at the Zhongtang residence.

Upon hearing the news, Chu Zhen was startled and stood up, spilling the boiling tea on the table. The tea spilled onto his hands, and the teacup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Chu Zhen repeatedly ordered the horses to be prepared.

Le Yan frowned and went to his side, taking his hand and looking at him.

"You got burned." She sighed softly.

Chu Zhen hurriedly said, "It's alright..."

Forgot to pull her hand back, and only said, "How could this happen?"

The atmosphere has been unusual lately, and he had specifically instructed Chu Gexing to keep an eye on the people coming and going in Shundu, but he never expected that something like this would still happen.

Some people already suspect that he is holding great power and that his recent summons of former officials to the capital of Shun suggests that he has treacherous intentions.

The assassination attempt on His Majesty at this moment is like adding insult to injury.

"I hope Your Majesty is unharmed."

Le Yan held his hand: "Don't worry. Xiao Di is here."

Chu Zhen looked at her: "Xiao Di... is it alright?" Suddenly she sighed again, "If I had known it would be like this, I should have gone to court when you were dismissed from your post and asked His Majesty to keep you."

Le Yan felt a lump in her throat, coughed, and said, "Uncle Zhen, you don't need to worry. I believe His Majesty is alright."

Chu Zhen then realized that she was holding his hand, but he didn't think much of it and pulled his hand away, frowning as he said, "I hope so."
