Безопасность - Глава 188
"Hahaha..." she laughed sadly. Her breath was weak. She could no longer hold on and finally fainted.
Chu Gexing stood for a moment. He reached out and brushed the snow off her forehead, then took off his cloak and wrapped it around her. Finally, he picked her up and carried her back the way they had come.
The person is at the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion.
He also held the power of life and death in his hands.
Chu Ge went out quickly to report the news to Shi Shu, so that they could rest assured.
Chu Gexing treads through the snow to visit Chu Zhen at the Military Affairs Office.
The man's face remained snow-white, its color, set against the cold, icy landscape, making it appear even more like jade.
Chu Gexing heard him say, "Le Yan is willful, Gexing, you should be more tolerant of her."
The Chu song goes unspoken.
He said, "The past is nothing but a mirage; what matters is what comes next."
Looking up, I hear the song of Chu.
He concluded by saying, "I consider her my most beloved junior, and you are my most beloved nephew/niece. Ge Xing, cherish this opportunity and don't let Uncle Zhen down."
Chu Ge Xing was never disappointed.
Looking at Chu Zhen's face, one feels a sense of desolation.
Do you like her? Uncle Zhen.
Why did I do so much for her?
What kind of determination led them to be willing to hurt themselves?
Is a complete stranger you've only known for less than a year worth all this effort?
What are you really thinking, Uncle Zhen?
I do not understand.
Although what you said put my mind at ease.
But I still don't understand.
Chu Zhen said a few words and then coughed lightly.
Someone brought him some herbal medicine, which he took.
My hands are weak, so I can't quite hold on to them.
Chu Ge stepped forward, took his hand, and helped him hold the bowl of medicine.
Chu Zhen smiled gently at him.
Chu Gexing's heart was once again filled with confusion. Was this a good thing?
From the time he traveled as a child to Shundu, Chu Zhen was always cold to everyone else, but only when he saw him and Ge Xun did he show a gentle smile.
At that time, he was short, and Chu Zhen often reached out and stroked the top of his head. He remembered that Chu Zhen said, "From now on, Uncle Zhen will take care of you, so don't be afraid."
Although he was young at the time, he could see that there was a kind of despair in Uncle Zhen's eyes.
Whether his smile is cold or gentle.
The despair in his eyes lingered from beginning to end.
Why do such good-looking people have that kind of look in their eyes?
Chu Gexing didn't know.
But he wasn't surprised that he could see that despair.
He never doubted why he could tell.
The reason is simple.
That's because...
They are all the same kind of people.
Now he handed that person over to him with a smile.
Chu Gexing looked at his hand, which was folded over his own.
His hands were cold, but Chu Zhen's were warm.
He came from the snow, while Chu Zhen stayed inside the house.
But……
His fingers traced Chu Zhen's pulse, a pulse throbbing erratically. Weak blood and qi, injuries to the six internal organs, and a depleted spirit were all completely concealed by his jade-like exterior. Chu Gexing was taken aback.
He looked up at Chu Zhen.
That person still smiled, as bright and warm as a lamp.
"Uncle Zhen," Chu Gexing called out.
“Song Xing.” He looked back at him with bright eyes.
“Uncle Zhen, let me take your pulse,” he said.
Chu Zhen nodded.
Chu Gexing slowly released his hand, moving his fingers toward Chu Zhen's pulse point. He secretly circulated his internal energy, and a warm internal force silently slid into Chu Zhen's body from his pulse point.
Uncle Zhen...
Chu Gexing looked at his fingers resting on that bamboo-like, fair wrist, and felt a mix of emotions.
Just as he withdrew his hand, hurried footsteps came from outside.
"My lord, my lord!" the man called out.
Before Chu Zhen could speak, Chu Gexing's expression changed abruptly, and he turned and left. In that instant, he recognized the voice; it was clearly someone from his household.
Chapter 249: Plum Blossoms in the Fire
The snow was still falling. Chu Ge was in the air, his figure as elusive as a crane flying on the snow. The cloak behind him made a loud noise due to the speed, stirring up countless snowflakes.
With a long stride, he quickened his pace again, his body rising and falling a few times. His toes lightly touched the snow, leaving only faint, barely perceptible marks that were quickly covered by snowflakes.
"Who is this person who dares to stroke the beard in the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion..." A sudden panic gripped his heart. A terrifying thought popped into his head out of nowhere, making him even angrier and more terrified.
"My lord, something terrible has happened..." He opened the door and saw one of his guards lying on the ground, covered in blood, which was particularly conspicuous in the snow.
"What happened?" His heart pounded, and he stepped forward to ask, secretly hoping that it wasn't the thing he had just worried about.
"Someone from who-knows-where barged into the manor and started fighting with Young Master Leyan!"
The man said in a flustered manner.
Chu Gexing's expression changed, his figure swayed slightly, and he had already left the scene.
As he was leaving, he heard Chu Zhen ask in a deep voice behind him, "Who are they? Did you send any soldiers to the governor's mansion before you came?"
Then he sent troops to seal off the nine gates.
Chu Gexing left with peace of mind. He knew that Chu Zhen would make a decisive judgment.
If the other party was after Leyan, they would have taken her away from the governor's mansion unless they wanted her dead.
Even if their intentions were malicious, they would still apprehend the murderer even after sealing off the Nine Gates.
Chu Zhen's ability to make such a resolute and clear judgment and make arrangements in such an urgent situation was a last resort, but also the most effective one.
Now, Chu Gexing only hopes that the opponents Le Yan encounters are not the ones he's most worried about...
Otherwise...
He frowned and looked up at the sky. Snowflakes were falling heavily. If it was those people... they went after Leyan, and this matter would definitely not end well.
The men were dragged into the governor's mansion.
The courtyard was completely silent.
Chu Gexing flew towards the backyard.
Several soldiers' bodies lay scattered across the snow.
They were all used by him to guard his mansion and protect his residence.
"Leyan!" he suddenly cried out in a daze.
He rushed towards the open door.
He was somewhat unaccustomed to the sudden dimming of the light as he walked straight in from the bright snow.
A corpse lay face down on the ground. Its face was obscured.
Chu Gexing held her breath and walked step by step to his side.
He reached out his hand. He touched the corpse's shoulder, then withdrew it.
no……
It wasn't her.
He was absolutely certain. He had examined that person closely—her height, her appearance, even every single hair—and this person was definitely not her.
But this person was a dead man through and through.
so……
Although deep down she knew and was absolutely certain that he was not Tang Leyan.
Unable to control himself, Chu Gexing reached out again and turned the corpse over.
Chu Gexing only breathed a sigh of relief when he finally saw his face.
He sat back down.
Why is this happening?
Even though she knew he wasn't him, she still couldn't help but take a look to put her mind at ease.
Wise reason succumbed to inexplicable impulse.
Chu Gexing looked around.
