Zhaoye was fearful, but he was also not willing to give up. He didn’t expect that Jun Yeyan was so concerned about Bai Aoxue. The time Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue got to know each other was not longer than one tenth of that they had followed Jun Yeyan.
But Jun Yeyan was so concerned about Bai Aoxue.
And he knew clearly that if he really hurt Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan might kill him with no mercy.
Zhaoye sighed lightly and he was fearful and he thought the whole thing was too complicated.
Zhaoye learned a lesson this time. He knew this is just a warning. Jun Yeyan only warned him once. It was just a warning because Jun Yeyan only broke his two ribs instead of killing him!
“Go. I hope you will not let me down.” Jun Yeyan flicked his sleeves and turned coldly.
Zhao and Nalan Youhong kept silent all the time. They all disagreed about Zhaoye talking back to Jun Yeyan.
Zhaoye stumbled away.
“Remember, Aoxue is the mistress. Next time you use insolent language, you will cut down one of your own arm as punishment.”
Zhaoye stopped on Jun Yeyan’s cruel words.
“I remember well.” Then Zhaoye left quickly. The pain in his chest had already made him sweat all over.
“Well…It is time to go back and wash up to go to bed early. Tomorrow we will set off.” Nalan Youhong said softly.
He intended to break the awkward silence.
Jun Yeyan told Nalan Youhong, “Prepare more herbs and medicine. There will be no peaceful journey. Death and injury cannot be avoided. Du Siyan, the Heir of Marquis Deyuan, will accompany us to Nanyue. I think he is appointed by Jun Wuhen to spy on us.”
Nalan Youhong frowned when he learned that Du Siyan would join the journey, and he pondered a while, “Du Siyan is not a good fellow. He indulges himself in sexual pleasure. I have heard from the young masters that he is fond of men. So I need to be on alarm and careful on the way.”
Jun Yeyan laughed in despise when he learned that Du Siyan was fond of men.
Zhao looked at Jun Yeyan and seemed to have something to say.
“What’s in your mind, tell me.” Jun Yeyan glanced at Zhao and fluttered his thin lips.
“Actually it was last time that the Princess went back to the prime minister’s mansion when Du Siyan intended to insult her. The Princess went to casino to visit Liushuang, and in the casino, she encountered Du Siyan. According to my judge of his eyesight on Liushuang, I believe Du Siyan was fond of Liushuang. So it is true that Du Siyan is fond of men.” Zhao said in a deep voice.
Jun Yeyan lifted his eyebrows in surprise. Nalan Youhong quivered in chilliness. He didn’t expect that his casual talk was actually truth.
Nalan Youhong felt sorry for Liushuang, whom Du Siyan was fond of. It must be unlucky!
What Jun Yeyan minded most was Du Siyan intending to insult Bai Aoxue.
“Zhao, bring several people to the mansion of Marquis Deyuan tonight. There is a house in the backyard. Du Siyan keeps many young male prostitutes in the house. Kill several of them. Cut down their hands and feet. How dare he insult Bai Aoxue! I’ll kill his male prostitutes for punishment.” Jun Yeyan said coldly, and it seemed to be chilly frost in his eyes.
Zhao nodded with absolute obedience.
Nalan Youhong opened his eyes widely in surprise, “You know Du Siyan the weirdo is fond of men?”
Jun Yeyan nodded, “I always know that.”
Nalan Youhong gossiped, “How did you know that? Is he fond of you?”
The moment Nalan Youhong blurted out the words, he felt Jun Yeyan’s eyesight like a sharp knife, which made Nalan Youhong could not help to quiver.
Du Siyan really once was fond of Jun Yeyan? Bingo, Nalan Youhong got it right?
Nalan Youhong stared at Jun Yeyan unbelievably, waiting for Jun Yeyan’s reply. But Jun Yeyan turned his head away.
Nalan Youhong was curious and confused. He felt unbearable itch like a cat scratching him.
But Jun Yeyan didn’t intend to answer his question.
“Alright. Go back to prepare for tomorrow’s journey.” Jun Yeyan said nothing about the subject that Nalan Youhong was curious about.
Nalan Youhong learned that even if he used polite begging and stubborn pestering by turns he would not get the answer from Jun Yeyan. So he didn’t push but turned to Zhao with excitement.
“Let me go with you tonight, Zhao. I am interested in how many young male prostitutes Du Siyan keeps.” Nalan Youhong said to Zhao excitedly.
Nalan Youhong was anxious to stir up the trouble. Zhao said to Nalan Youhong, “Suit yourself.”
Zhao only spit out two simple words, as simple as his characteristics.
Nalan Youhong was familiar with Zhao’s simple characteristics. And he was used to be treated coldly when he passionately caters for a thing.
At the same time, Bai Aoxue woke up.
“Wenxi, send this letter to the general’s mansion. Make sure you give it to Uncle De in person. And he will find ways to pass it to my uncle. I don’t think it will be a peaceful journey to Nanyue. So I must inform my uncle.” Bai Aoxue sealed the letter she had just finished and gave it to Wenxi.
Wenxi put away the letter carefully and went to the general’s mansion.
Just after Wenxi leaving, someone came to Bai Aoxue’s yard.
“Master, you are leaving. Why don’t you take me with you?” A figure in flame red appeared in front of Bai Aoxue in an instant, with a bewitching face.
Right now Liushuang was seriously looking at Bai Aoxue and there was a little bit sadness on his face which everyone, male and female, old and young, loved to see.
Bai Aoxue rubbed her forehead lightly, “This time I have no choice but to go to Nanyue. And there is Jun Wuhen’s informer spy on us. It is a very dangerous journey. With fewer persons, it’s fewer risks.”
Liushuang lifted up his eyebrows, “Don’t you know how tough I am?”
Bai Aoxue didn’t give in a bit, “The casino has just been opened. You’ve got loads of stuff to do in person. Who will run the casino if you go to Nanyue with me? This is a casino that is run by you in person.”
Liushuang was persuaded by Bai Aoxue. He agreed with Bai Aoxue that if he went to Nanyue with Bai Aoxue, someone might take the chance to make trouble in the casino.
“Besides, I will check out the economic situation and people’s entertainment in Nanyue. If possible, you can go to Nanyue to open casinos there. Till then, our casino in Chengxi will be in a stable condition.” Bai Aoxue figured that she almost succeeded, so she continued.
Liushuang thought Bai Aoxue’s words made sense, and curled his lips, “Master, you are so considerate. If so, I will not go with you to Nanyue. Do take good care of yourself.”
Bai Aoxue nodded and thought about the Heir of Marquis Deyuan. She was curious, “What did you do to the Heir of Marquis Deyuan?”
Liushuang tried his best not to laugh, “That bastard indulges in sexual pleasure on the surface, but he really is a scrupulous man. You have no idea that he can handle my twenty movements, although he was forced to take the medicine you gave me in the end.”
Bai Aoxue was shocked by Liushuang’s words. She knew that Du Siyan was a scrupulous person, but she didn’t expect he was so good at concealing his real ability.
People who could handle twenty movements of Liushuang were rare. But Du Siyan had the ability. Bai Aoxue got some thoughts of Du Siyan.
She embarrassed Du Siyan in her casino in front of so many people the other day, so Du Siyan would not make friends with her. Besides, he stared at Liushuang with a lustful eyesight. Even if Du Siyan would like to let it go, she wouldn’t.
Since they couldn’t become friends, let them be enemies.
“The medicine… You forced him to take them all?” Bai Aoxue asked hesitantly.
Liushuang nodded in confusion, “Yes, I forced him to take them all. I originally intended to feed him half, but he struggled not to. So I just forced him to take them all.”
Bai Aoxue’s lips jerked severely, “Do you know how strong the medicine is? Du Siyan will not erect for at least half a year.”
Liushuang laughed loudly, “Good. Half a year is not long enough. I hope it is a little longer. If he dares to stare me with that lustful eyesight again, I will castrate him.”
Although there were smiles in his eyes, Bai Aoxue knew that there were no real smiles in the attractive eyes.
“Would you like to have dinner with me this evening?” Bai Aoxue realized that she and Liushuang had never eaten together.
Liushuang froze a moment and then smiled, “Since you, my master, are inviting me, I will have dinner with you.”
Liushuang’s fooling around made Bai Aoxue recall that ruffian. If the ruffian was here, Bai Aoxue would definitely match the two a couple.
After a while, Mumian and Hongxiu got the dinner ready. Liushuang noticed that there are only two dinner sets and was surprised, “We don’t wait for the Fifth Prince?”
Bai Aoxue casually replied, “He probably has things to deal with.”
Then, Bai Aoxue poured Liushuang and herself two cups of mellow wine and cool fragrance of bamboo spread into the air in an instant.
“Cheers.” Bai Aoxue lifted up her cup and smiled to Liushuang.
Liushuang held his cup to his nostrils and smelled. The aroma was chilly and joyful. They drain the cup with one gulp.
Chilly wine with thin bamboo fragrance flew down the throat like a flame burning in throat.
“Excellent!” Liushuang praised sincerely.
Bai Aoxue lifted her eyebrows, “Of course. This is brewed by Jun Yeyan in person. Now I dig it out and he doesn’t know about it.”
Bai Aoxue’s face turned red because of the wine. She was delicate right now instead of cold and indifferent as usual.
They swallowed up one cup after another; didn’t care about how arduous Jun Yeyan brewed the wine.
Bai Aoxue soon felt dizzy, “The wine is too strong. You help yourself. I need a rest.” Then she struggled to stand up, staggering.
Liushuang narrowed the eyes full of tender to witness Bai Aoxue leaving.
Liushuang stood up slowly and said softly, “Please take care, master. I will wait for you to come back from Nanyue. I will welcome you back here in Chengxi.”
Bai Aoxue nodded but didn’t turn.
“Never mind…He will protect you. I have nothing to worry about because you decide to spend the second half of your life with him.” Liushuang murmured.
Then Liushuang patted his own cheek, “Why am I so emotional? Everyone has his own fate.” Then he collected the unopened wine and left quietly.
Liushuang had just left. Someone came to Bai Aoxue’s yard without an invitation.
