Безопасность - Глава 104
The white figure sheathed her sword and landed with an extremely graceful posture. Without returning the sword to its sheath, she held it horizontally in front of her chest and gently breathed on it. She could even see a drop of blood dripping from the gleaming tip of the sword.
His posture was as if he were leisurely polishing his beloved sword, rather than having just ruthlessly killed someone.
He raised an eyebrow and his eyes pierced through the night to see Tang Leyan's face.
Who else could it be but Prince Feng Feisheng of Danning?
Tang Leyan was furious, but then she saw him with his head slightly lowered and a disdainful smile on his face.
It was exactly the same smile she gave him inside the Forbidden City.
The person on the ground was already dead.
Prince Daning was clearly using murder as a means to intimidate her. Tang Leyan knew this perfectly well.
Uncle Zhen, Uncle Zhen, it seems it's not that I'm unwilling to give in.
Some people have already developed a deep hatred for him.
Tang Leyan looked at him, feeling both angry and amused. If Chu Zhen hadn't been there, she would have already rushed over and given him a beating.
Before she could even lift a finger, the Nine Gates Commander's troops had already blocked her way.
They surrounded him tightly, and someone stepped forward angrily, saying, "Who are you? How dare you kill a wanted criminal by the Nine Gates without authorization!"
"Huh? Is he a repeat offender?" the man asked in surprise, his act quite convincing.
"Indeed, you acted so ruthlessly. Could it be that you killed him to cover your tracks, and you're in cahoots with this criminal?"
"Did I say I was with him?" Feng Feisheng said calmly. "Besides, that brother in red over there is quite skilled too, so why is he only targeting me?"
The soldiers of the Nine Gates glanced back at Tang Leyan, then turned back angrily and said, "That man is Guard Yue, who is by the Grand Secretary's side. How could he be a suspect? Stop talking nonsense! Brothers, seize him!"
Tang Leyan was eager to watch the excitement, but Chu Zhen behind her spurred his horse forward to explain.
She turned the horse's head slightly, pretending to be casual, and blocked Chu Zhen's path.
Chu Zhen couldn't leave for the time being.
"If you want to catch someone, we'll see if you have the ability." Feng Feisheng was not afraid at all, smiled lightly, and looked over the crowd before looking at her face.
This is a blatant provocation.
Tang Leyan suppressed her anger and only sneered.
Just as the soldiers of the Nine Gates were about to engage Feng Feisheng in combat, a deep voice rang out: "Stop!"
A magnificent blue figure gracefully descended from the sky and landed in the arena.
In an instant, the soldiers of the nine gates all stepped back, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"Oh, it seems a big horn has arrived." Feng Feisheng blew on the blood dripping from the tip of his sword, turned around and sheathed it before looking up.
Just then, Chu Gexing waved his hand and said, "All of you, rise and leave."
"Yes!" The armor clanked, and the soldiers of the Nine Gates retreated in unison behind Chu Gexing.
Their eyes met, and both felt a jolt in their hearts.
Feng Feisheng gazed at the woman before him, whose beauty was as lovely as a peach blossom. He had seen many people, and the Little Peach Blossom Spring was filled with countless beauties. Any one of them would be a renowned beauty in the martial arts world, but none could compare to the stunning beauty of the woman before him. Moreover, this woman possessed a cold and arrogant temperament. This unique feeling left Feng Feisheng speechless with amazement and shock.
Chu Gexing also sized up the man in white in front of him, and was speechless for a moment. However, unlike Feng Feisheng, Chu Gexing felt the same way Tang Leyan felt about him. Chu Gexing felt that this man exuded a "I'm so annoying" aura.
Seeing the dead body on the ground, he became even angrier.
Having finally found a clue, he fought with the man on the ground for a long time before sealing off one of his major acupoints to ensure that no "cleaners" would follow. Only then did he feel at ease letting the Nine Gates soldiers chase after him. Unexpectedly, he failed at the last minute and died at the hands of the man in front of him.
If Feng Feisheng knew what the person in front of him was thinking at this moment, he would probably prostrate himself and weep.
"Was it you who did it?" Chu Gexing snorted coldly, his eyes flashing, and the light red at the corner of his eye, like a peach petal, twitched slightly, radiating an indescribable beauty.
Feng Feisheng coughed once, then smiled and said, "May I ask your honorable name, sir?"
"How dare you!" A deputy general stepped forward and shouted sternly.
Chu Gexing lowered his eyes, and the man immediately bowed, saying, "This subordinate knows his crime!" and stepped back.
Chu Gexing snorted coldly and looked up at Feng Feisheng again: "Young Master of Danning Kingdom, this is not the place for you to kill people."
"Do you know who I am?" Feng Feisheng laughed. "You are no ordinary person."
"Stop talking nonsense and don't try to build rapport," Chu Gexing said coldly.
Feng Feisheng was speechless. This seemingly gentle and charming person was quite ruthless in her words. Her words were like ice cubes thrown in his face, making a painful sound.
The sound of horses' hooves.
Feng Feisheng looked up.
But then a man rode up to them on horseback and called out, "Song of the Ballad."
Chu Gexing then turned around, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
Feng Feisheng noticed that the person who came was Chu Zhen, the Grand Secretary of the Military Affairs Department, and at the same time he saw the red-clad man behind Chu Zhen who was almost rolling his eyes to the sky.
This Shundu... there are so many strange people here.
Feng Feisheng shook his head.
Chu Zhen said, "Young Master acted rashly and made a mistake, but after all, the person came from afar. Ge Xing, look... Feng Feisheng went to look at the man in blue."
He remained silent for a moment before saying, "Since the Grand Councilor says so, then... let's make an exception for now."
He turned around and looked at Feng Feisheng.
Feng Feisheng quickly smiled.
Chu Gexing looked at his smiling face and said coldly, "Although the young prince has come from afar, even princes are subject to the same laws as commoners. I will let it go this time for the sake of the Grand Secretary. But the young prince must not fall into my hands again next time."
As he spoke, he stared coldly at Feng Feisheng, a sight that filled Feng Feisheng with both pain and joy. After he finished speaking, he turned his head away and never looked at him again. Instead, he said to Chu Zhen, "Ge Xing will take his leave now."
Nine Gates soldiers led their horses over, and Chu Gexing mounted his horse, leading the Nine Gates men away in a hurry.
Feng Feisheng stood on tiptoe to look at him.
Seeing his expression, Tang Leyan couldn't help but sneer, "What are you looking at, young master? Your eyes are practically popping out of your head."
Chu Zhen whispered, "Le Yan!"
Feng Feisheng then withdrew his gaze and looked at the person in front of him: "Feng Feisheng thanks Your Excellency for helping me out of this predicament."
"What were you doing just now? You only remember to thank me now." Tang Leyan snorted coldly.
Chu Zhen wished she could cover her mouth, but could only cough once.
Feng Feisheng seemed oblivious, as if he hadn't heard anything. He smiled slightly and said, "Feng Feisheng will personally come to thank you another day."
Chu Zhen said calmly, "Your Highness is too kind. I was just passing by and didn't want any unnecessary conflict to occur."
Feng Feisheng nodded: "It is indeed Your Excellency who understands the bigger picture."
Tang Leyan frowned and glanced at her sideways.
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhen realized that these two were indeed at odds. He then said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Your Highness should return to the inn as soon as possible."
Feng Feisheng bowed and agreed.
Chu Zhen turned his horse around and rode forward.
Tang Leyan also turned her horse around, but as she turned back, she glanced sideways at the person behind her.
Just then, Feng Feisheng also looked over, and their eyes met, as if tiny sparks were burning in the air.
Because it was late, Chu Zhen went straight back to his residence instead of returning to the Military Affairs Department.
Tang Leyan escorted him back to his residence, dismounted, and waited for him to enter.
Chu Zhen stopped in her tracks: "Why don't you come in?"
"It's getting late..." she said, seemingly unrelated to the question, looking somewhat dejected.
Chu Zhen was taken aback, realizing that she was probably afraid of falling asleep and causing him trouble, so he turned back and said, "Come in, I have something for you."
"What is it?" Her eyes widened suddenly.
Chu Zhen smiled, a tender feeling welling up in his heart, and took her hand as they stepped inside.
Once they reached the study, he instructed her to sit at the table before taking out a small paper packet from a drawer.
Placed it in front of her, Chu Zhen said, "Open this and take a look."
Tang Leyan was slightly puzzled, and reached out to slowly pry open the paper package.
Inside, two smiling clay dolls lay quietly side by side, their pink faces, red bibs, and green lotus leaves unfurling on them. Their simple and rustic designs were incredibly adorable.
"This is..." Tang Leyan was taken aback. "That day, you didn't catch up because of this?"
That day, when I was shopping with Beitang Yujian, I did see a pair of nice items that I liked. Unfortunately, none of the three of us had any money, so we had to reluctantly give them up. Luckily, it was just a whim, and I wasn't too bothered by it. I never expected that Chu Zhen would actually...
"Don't you like it?" Chu Zhen asked.
"I like them, of course I like them very much." Feeling warm inside, Tang Leyan answered repeatedly. She reached out and picked up the two clay dolls. The one on the left was a boy with short hair, and the one on the right was a girl with a child's hair hanging down. Both of them had a simple and honest look and were smiling broadly.
She held the two dolls against her chest, unsure of what to say.
"I'm glad you like it." Chu Zhen felt relieved.
Tang Leyan looked up: "But didn't you not bring any money? How did you manage to buy it?"
“Uh…” Chu Zhen hesitated for a moment before saying, “I… I told him that you really liked it and begged him to give it to me, and he agreed.”
"Is it that simple?" Tang Leyan asked.
"Yes," Chu Zhen smiled.
“Anyway,” she put the doll back into the paper bag, “thank you, Uncle Zhen.”
She got up, walked to his side, and hugged him around the waist.
Chu Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled faintly: "Yes, as long as you're happy."
It's been cloudy for the past few days, but there's been no rain or snow; the will of Heaven is unpredictable.
Tang Leyan excitedly crossed the street and ran towards the Military Affairs Office.
As you turn the corner, someone suddenly appears and asks, "Why are you running so fast?"
