I just want to live a good life

Chapter 267 First meeting

Su Nuan was just criticizing Chu Qi when she heard Mu Yunting say, "He should be going to catch the assassin."

"How does Your Highness know that he didn't run away?"

Su Nuan asked.

"He doesn't dare!"

"Your Highness seems to know Chu Qi very well. Did you know each other before?"

"I don't know him. I just know his senior brother better."

Su Nuan was even more curious. Chu Qi was a craftsman who made gold, silver and jade articles. Could his senior brother be a craftsman who made gold, silver and jade articles for the royal family? Then she had to get to know him. Maybe she could poach him and make him a living signboard.

"Your Highness, can you introduce me to Chu Qi's senior brother?"

"You recognize it."

"what?"

At this time, not to mention Su Nuan, even Falcon and the secret guard were curious about who this senior brother of Chu Qi could be. They were so focused on listening to the two people's conversation that they didn't notice someone walking towards them.

Su Nuan had sensitive ears and was the first to notice the approaching footsteps. When she looked up, she was surprised to find Chu Qi escorting a man towards them.

At this moment, Chu Qi's entire temperament was completely different from before, he was like a completely different person.

Su Nuan was stunned.

Seeing this, Mu Yunting glared at Chu Qi again.

Chu Qi and the other man came in front of the crowd, and the man who was being held immediately knelt down and said in fear and trepidation: "Please spare my life, sir. I didn't mean to disturb you!"

"What's going on?" Mu Yunting asked Chu Qi.

Chu Qi raised the rabbit in his hand and replied, "It's all because of this rabbit."

Just now, everyone was blocked and didn't notice that Chu Qi was holding a rabbit. Now everyone's eyes turned to the rabbit.

Then Chu Qi continued, "This man is a hunter from a nearby village. The arrow he shot just now was the one he used to shoot a rabbit, but it was a little off target."

"It may not be that the shot missed. This man needs to be taken back for a thorough interrogation." Falcon said.

"That's making a fuss out of nothing!" Chu Qi muttered.

Falcon said seriously: "What time is it now? How can a hunter go hunting after dark?"

"It's unfair, sir. I'm just a hunter. I'm just not very skilled. I don't have the chance to touch this family heirloom bow during the day. I only dare to steal the bow and use it after dark. If you don't believe me, you can go home with me and ask my father. What I said is true."

At this time, Mu Yunting suddenly said: "He doesn't seem to be lying, don't embarrass him."

Then he turned to the hunter kneeling on the ground and said, "You can go now."

The hunter thanked him profusely and stood up, but did not leave. He walked up to Chu Qi and said with a sad face, "Sir, please return my bow to me. My father will beat me to death without it."

Chu Qi's face tensed, and he asked the hunter, "Are you your father's biological son?"

The hunter replied, "Yes!"

"Then you can go back without worry. Your father will never kill his own son just because of a bow."

"This bow was handed down from my ancestors. My father treats it as his lifeblood and treasures it very much. If I lose it, he will really beat me to death."

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How can your father be so cruel? If you have such a father, you might as well not go back. Otherwise, why don't you come with me?"

"what?"

The hunters were all confused.

Everyone else present was also a little confused, only Su Nuan noticed the bow that Chu Qi was carrying on his back and was reluctant to return. Although the light was dim, she still saw the small piece of metal wrapped around the bow with intricate patterns carved on it. She guessed that this was most likely what Chu Qi liked.

So, she pointed at the small piece of metal and said to the hunter, "My dear, the pattern on it is very beautiful. I want to buy it. Are you willing?"

"Your Excellency would like to buy this bow?"

"No, I just want to buy this piece of copper."

"this......"

The hunter was in a dilemma.

Su Nuan didn't force him, but just took out a gold ingot from her purse.

The hunter did not hesitate to exchange a piece of broken copper for an ingot of gold. He immediately took out the knife he carried with him and started to remove the piece of metal.

"Wait, let me come."

Chu Qi took out a carving knife from his arms and carefully peeled the piece of metal off the bow.

Su Nuan took the metal piece in her hand, and then gave the bow and the gold ingot to the hunter.

This time Chu Qi did not stop him. He just stared at Su Nuanshou and didn't even look at the hunter when he left.

Su Nuan was delighted, she had guessed right, Chu Qi wanted this very thing.

With this thing, I don’t have to worry about him disobeying me.

And she seemed to have guessed who Chu Qi's senior brother was.

To be able to catch a lively rabbit with bare hands without the aid of any tools, one must at least be faster than the rabbit. Falcon also said that Chu Qi can run faster than a rabbit.

For him to have such skills, his senior brother must be very skilled in martial arts.

The only person Su Nuan could think of who had great kung fu skills, was someone she recognized, and was very familiar with Mu Yunting, and that was Ye Yin, who hadn't been seen for many days.

Su Nuan felt like she had found a treasure. If Chu Qi was really Ye Yin’s junior fellow apprentice, she had to find a way to keep him by her side.

"Um, Madam Concubine, can you show me that piece of copper?"

"Not now. I'll show you enough when we get back to the Prince's Mansion."

Chu Qi curled his lips, a little unwilling.

After a false alarm, the group continued on their journey.

After the horse had eaten and drunk its fill, it started running as fast as it could and reached the city gate in just half an hour.

The city gate had been closed long ago, but Mu Yunting had a token, so they could pass through the gate that others could not cross without any hindrance.

Su Nuan was anxious to see Xia Changze, and went straight to the Ministry of Justice prison as soon as she entered the city.

.

The night scenery of Fenglin Town is more seductive than the girls in Wanjin Tower.

Leng Yue touched her wound, stood by the window and admired the moon in the sky.

Who could have thought that the top prostitute in Wanjin Tower would enter the Prince's Palace!

The injury was worth it!

Just thinking about it makes me feel good.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Leng Yue quickly put away the smile on her face and asked, "Who?"

"May I come in?"

Prince Guang'an asked softly outside the door.

Although Leng Yue had never formally met Prince Guang'an, she could always hear his voice while traveling together these days, so she immediately recognized that the person was Prince Guang'an.

What was he doing here? Leng Yue frowned.

Prince Guang'an had a bad temper and she didn't want to meet him, but the difference in their status meant she couldn't refuse, so she said lightly, "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and Leng Yue looked up and saw an extremely handsome face. This face was somewhat similar to the man in her heart, but with a more mature charm. Leng Yue felt her heart pounding at the first sight. She had seen countless people, but she was so stunned by a man that she was speechless.

Prince Guang'an's situation was similar to hers. The person in front of him was 80% like the beauty that had been haunting him and whom he had been longing for. For a moment, his heart was overwhelmed with emotions and he could hardly control himself.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Leng Yue came back to his senses first.

"This commoner has met His Majesty."

"You recognize me?"

Leng Yue replied: "This is my first time seeing the prince, and I don't recognize him."

"Then how do you know my identity?"

"It's rare to find someone as noble and outstanding as your Highness." Leng Yue blushed after she said this.

After hearing this and looking at the beauty in front of him, Prince Guang'an felt a long-lost joy surging in his blood.
