Chapter 161 Returning to Southern Yue First
Puyang Xuan wasn't entirely oblivious. Mo Ye had reminded him back at the residence that Jianwu had probably misunderstood, and that it wasn't appropriate to explain things to her given her current physical condition. He then paid attention to the next sentence, "Take good care of your young lady," before leaving.
Liang Yan brought the tea to Yang Jianwu's lips again. Yang Jianwu drank a little less than half a cup, and the water droplets on the corners of her mouth made them look particularly bright. Liang Yan carefully wiped the tea stains from the corners of her mouth.
"Miss, please don't push yourself so hard next time. What will the General and his wife do if something really happens to you?"
Yang Jianwu smiled bitterly, "Life and death are separated by a moment. It's not that I want to risk my life; it's that others hurt me because I wasn't prepared enough!"
In Liang Yan's eyes, Yang Jianwu was the most powerful. "Is there anyone more powerful than Miss?!"
"Silly girl, there are always people more skilled than you, and there are countless experts out there."
Liang Yan curled her lips, "What kind of strength do they have? They just rely on their age and some accumulated experience! Those who are truly young and have strong internal energy are extremely rare! If they don't have internal energy, who can beat you?"
Yang Jianwu pinched Liang Yan's cheek hard, "You have such a sweet mouth!"
Liang Yan smiled and held Yang Jianwu's hand. "Take good care of your hand. I'm thick-skinned. You're injured now, so you won't feel anything even if you use a lot of force. If your hand hurts again later, then I'll be in big trouble!"
Seeing that Yang Jianwu was in a better mood, Li Ge also joined in the joke, "Miss, Miss, my hands aren't afraid of pain, let me pinch Liangyan's face for you!"
Liang Yan blushed, both embarrassed and angry. "How dare you! You've been waiting two days to get your hands on me, haven't you?!"
Li Ge stuck out his tongue and pretended to pinch her. Liang Yan dodged to the side, and the two started fighting. As they fought, they turned into playful banter. Yang Jianwu watched the two and understood. It seemed that they had become a couple!
Liang Yan suddenly remembered that Yang Jianwu was still watching, and her face flushed with embarrassment. "Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Miss needs to rest!"
Li Ge scratched his head sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Miss, I'll leave now. Please get some rest. Remember to look for me when you're dealing with Liang Yan!"
Yang Jianwu gave an OK sign, and Li Ge left the room sulking.
Liang Yan ran to the bedside and gently shook Yang Jianwu's sleeve. "Miss, you can't spoil him. You don't know how much Li Ge has taken advantage of me when you're not around!"
“I didn’t spoil him at all; you gave him the opportunity…”
"Miss……"
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I want to sleep a little longer. You should go and rest too."
"Eh!"
Liang Yan helped Yang Jianwu lie down, tidied her quilt, and lowered the bed curtains. Before leaving, she looked around the room and, finding nothing amiss, closed the door behind her.
On the other side, Nangong Ji escaped from the capital with Nangong Yan. This time, their proud Gu worms were of no use at all when they came to Dongli, and they were all wasted.
Nangong Yan was beaten black and blue; he looked so bad that even his own father probably wouldn't recognize him.
His rallying signal only attracted a few people. The thought of the corpses filling the courtyard made him want to vomit. In order not to attract attention, the people who came this time were all carefully trained experts. Who would be willing to lose most of them?
How many of us are left in Dongli?
"Reporting to Master, nine guards remain from the group we brought."
Enraged, Nangong Ji slapped the guard who had answered him hard. "Useless trash! Leave two of you to investigate who that woman is! The rest of you, come back to Nan Yue with me!"
"Yes!"
Nangong Ji's right arm ached with every movement. The hidden weapon hadn't been removed yet, and he had barely managed to stop the bleeding. He had swung his arm too violently just now, and now it was bleeding again. Looking at the soaked bandage, Nangong Ji's eyes remained calm, showing no intention of stopping the bleeding.
Nangong Yan huddled to one side, not daring to speak. He had begged his uncle, the Emperor, to secure the Lu City project, and now that all the plans had been ruined, he was also partly to blame.
"Brother, don't be angry. I'm the one who dragged you into this. I'll definitely practice more when we get back. You need to stop the bleeding first. If you keep it flowing like this, you won't be able to hold on..."
Nangong Ji has always had a smooth life, so why has he ever been so humiliated? A careful analysis of the events at Dongli reveals that, besides Prince Ning, two other animals were also key to the failure…
First the falcon of Lucheng, then the snake of the capital, and both could target the Gu he controlled! Are all the animals in Dongli this powerful? Impossible! He didn't believe it was a coincidence!
What's most infuriating is that woman. When has he ever been insulted like that by a woman? What's even more despicable is that even when she was about to fall, she still managed to attack him with a hidden weapon. Speaking of which, what kind of hidden weapon was it? It was jet black and shiny, and it shot out at an extremely fast speed.
Nangong Ji removed the bandage from his arm, enduring the pain as he pressed his hand against the wound, unable to feel anything at all...
"Brother! What are you doing!"
Nangong Yan stepped forward and pressed down on Nangong Ji's hand, his heart filled with anxiety, "Tieshan, quickly stop the bleeding!"
"Yes!"
Nangong Ji stared blankly as Tieshan bandaged his wound.
"Master, we must find tools to remove the hidden weapon when we get to the manor ahead, otherwise your arm will be ruined..."
"understood!"
