Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 32 Brothers meet

Just as Mu Yun Chu was about to speak, Gu Qing Yue walked to Wen Qing Hong's side first, pulled him up and down to look him over, and could see that he had only suffered physical pain and no internal injuries, which put her at ease.

"My lord, this is the companion I've been looking for. May I take him with me?" Gu Qingyue asked obsequiously, bowing respectfully.

What a joke! She's very perceptive. When she saw Mu Xiaoqi tonight, he barely spoke and it was obvious he was in a bad mood. She didn't want to mess with someone like that.

Mu Yun Chu waved his hand, indicating that they could leave. Gu Qing Yue quickly cupped her hands in greeting, helped Wen Qing Hong up, and ran away. Along the way, Wen Qing Hong wanted to turn back several times. Gu Qing Yue knew what he wanted to ask, so she pinched his arm and said in a low voice, "Let's talk outside."

So the two of them fled in a panic. She didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. Pan Xiangye, he'll probably fall down by tonight.

Just enjoy the show.

Of course, the gates of the Pan residence and several other courtyards were sealed off that night, but that's another story.

Stepping out of the Pan residence, Gu Qingyue pulled Wen Qinghong and ran towards the dark alley where Wen Qinglan was hiding.

Wen Qinghong, panting heavily behind Gu Qingyue, was grimacing as he ran, though Gu Qingyue couldn't see it. A quarter of an hour later, the two stopped at the entrance of a dark alley.

"What are you doing? Why did you come to this place?" Wen Qinghong looked incredulous. Gu Qingyue had actually led him into a dark alley. He was a good boy and wouldn't do anything crooked.

He originally wanted to ask that adult if they could find his younger brother, but Gu Qingyue grabbed him and ran out in a flash. What about his younger brother?

Trusting Gu Qingyue, Wen Qinghong followed her out of the Pan residence with suspicion, but he was still very anxious.

Before he could speak again, Gu Qingyue's voice came over.

"I'm taking you to meet someone. What are you thinking?" Gu Qingyue said dismissively and walked inside.

Wen Qinghong looked around suspiciously before following Gu Qingyue into the depths of the dark alley.

Seeing a sliver of clothing hidden in the darkness, Gu Qingyue said, "Come out."

Wen Qinghong looked back at Gu Qingyue, then at her with a puzzled expression.

Wen Qinghong: Who wants to come out?

Suddenly, a rustling sound of fabric coming from the corner of the wall could be heard.

"Is it a person or a ghost?" Wen Qinghong's teeth chattered. He was terrified of ghosts. Why bring him to this place in the middle of the night? Why?

Gu Qingyue turned around and saw Wen Qinghong's strange expression. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Do you recognize him?"

"Brother?" A low voice called out from the darkness on the other side, sounding quite incredulous.

"Xiao Lan, is that you?" Wen Qinghong came back to her senses upon hearing the trembling voice, and an overwhelming joy surged within her.

"Brother, it's me." In the darkness, the injured boy staggered out of the corner and finally stood firmly in front of Wen Qinghong. The two looked at each other.

"It's good that you're alive," Wen Qinghong couldn't help but pat the boy's shoulder. She couldn't hold back her tears, and her next sentence was choked with sobs: "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well." After saying that, tears fell down her face.

This was the first time Gu Qingyue had seen Wen Qinghong cry so hard, and it was rather... comical.

Seeing that the two seemed eager to have a long talk, Gu Qingyue quickly called a halt.

"Let's talk about it when we get back. We shouldn't stay here any longer," Gu Qingyue said, gesturing for the two to follow.

The three of them walked back to the inn, stopping frequently along the way.

At this time, the Pan residence.

Mu Yun Chu's face was dark and her expression was gloomy.

He didn't expect that the arrest operation, which he had planned for several days, would still go wrong.

The operation, originally scheduled for a few days ago, was changed to tonight due to a message from Zhou Changming. Although Ye Wenqi, a confidant of the Nanzhao Grand Shaman, was captured, several of Pan Shisan's advisors escaped.

It wasn't until Mu Nan rushed into the Pan residence and whispered that Pan Shisan had been captured that his expression gradually improved. Once Pan Shisan was captured, things would be much easier.

Mu Yun Chu looked up at the sky, where the sky was just beginning to brighten, and ordered, "Take Ye Wenqi back."

Having said that, he turned and disappeared into the night.

Regardless of how Mu Yun Chu dealt with Pan Xiang Ye, Gu Qing Yue breathed a sigh of relief; the person had been successfully rescued.

Moreover, judging from Mu Xiaoqi's appearance, she must have caught other big fish and rescued many captured men and women. So, Pan Xiangye can't escape now, right? Those scumbags who run rampant should also get the punishment they deserve.

She had an inexplicable trust in Mu Yun Chu, and she couldn't explain why.

Three days later, Gu Qingyue finally got a clear look at Wen Qinglan's face. Before, because of her injuries, her face was covered in bruises and was not very clear.

Well, he has fair skin, a handsome face with a touch of delicacy, and a gentle, clear voice. He is completely different from Wen Qinghong, who has wheat-colored skin, narrow eyes when he smiles, a kind face, and a boisterous manner. But they are twins!

It's... amazing!

Rong Qingqing and Gu Qingyue were a little stunned as they looked at the two brothers sitting across the table.

The fair-skinned and beautiful Wen Qinglan doesn't seem like a younger brother, but rather... a younger sister.

Shaking her head, Gu Qingyue quickly dismissed the absurd idea. "What are your plans next? Are you going back to Mingzhi County or..."

Ten days ago, they heard on the street that a small squad of the Great Chu army had not only bravely recaptured Mingzhi County, but also annihilated the southern barbarians stationed there. Now, local people are gradually returning home.

Upon hearing this news, since Wen Qinglan had not yet been found, the group didn't pay much attention to it. But now that she had been rescued, they naturally had to make further plans.

The two men exchanged a glance, and Wen Qinghong spoke up: "We brothers have no relatives left in Mingzhi County, so we plan to stay. But please rest assured, we will definitely work hard and not freeload."

After speaking, he looked nervously at Rong Qingqing and Gu Qingyue opposite him, waiting for their response.

Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing rolled her eyes in a very unladylike manner: "If you want to stay, then stay. Who cares whether you've eaten or worn anything?"

After a pause, he said, "You can all stay in one room. Xiao Lan should focus on recovering from her injuries first."

After saying that, she picked up Xiao Nian, patted her bottom, and walked towards the backyard. Xiao Nian rested on Rong Qingqing's shoulder, and after a few seconds of confusion, she began to struggle.

He wants Qingyue! He wants Qinglan! He wants Qinghong! He doesn't want to sleep now!

Rong Qingqing patted the little guy's bottom again, using force to suppress him, and carried him out of the hall, leaving only the little guy's fake crying.

I don't know where this little guy learned it, but he can read people's faces and even fake cry. Gu Qingyue seriously suspects that his grandfather, who loves to go for walks, taught him. Sigh, kids who are exposed to society too early are too risky!

She was convinced!

Watching the two figures disappear, Gu Qingyue stroked her chin and said with a grin, "Stay here with peace of mind, remember what you said." After saying that, she also went out the door.

She was very busy. She wanted to take the initiative to find the person connected to the jade pendant. In addition, she needed to think about how to earn more money. After all, the inn wasn't hers, and she had to plan for her future.

Seeing Gu Qingyue disappear in an instant, Wen Qinghong belatedly realized that they had agreed to let the brothers stay.

The two looked at each other and saw hope in each other's eyes.

On the street, watching people come and go, Gu Qingyue silently lit a candle in her heart for her "miserable" situation.

Especially when she thought of what Wen Qinghong had said angrily about her younger brother's ordeal last night, she realized how lucky she was that she had intervened in time. Otherwise, a young boy's innocence would have been ruined, and the victim would have been that fat Zhang Mama!

It is said that Zhang's mother intended to teach Wen Qinglan some bedroom skills, but Wen Qinglan refused and ran away. Before she even left the courtyard, she was caught by the guards.

Thinking back to how disheveled that woman looked, it's truly heartbreaking. What a cruel and twisted world this is.
