Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 168: See You Again

"I... I can atone for my crime!" Gu Yan propped himself up with his half-broken arm, and fell to the ground in front of Chu Yunchuan in a panic, his eyes full of bloodshot. "Chu Yunchuan, you want to arrest her, but she will come again after listening to me. By then, she won't be able to see me, and the trouble will be even greater. You are smart, you must know the pros and cons. Taking my life has no other purpose except to vent your anger."

Although Gu Yan said this to save his life, it was indeed the case. Fu Yao's expression eased a little, and he said to Chu Yunchuan: "Let's keep him alive. This is a blessing in disguise. If we want to catch Ge Zhen again, we will need him."

Chu Yunchuan had a plan in mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He just sat there lazily, his eyes looking down, slowly sliding over Gu Yan's body. Being stared at so coldly at the critical moment, it only took a moment for Gu Yan's heart to break, and he collapsed and said, "I helped you a lot! Chu Yunchuan! Are you going to repay kindness with enmity?"

At this point, Chu Yunchuan slowly spoke: "If you say something wrong again..."

Gu Yan quickly added: "I definitely won't!"

Chu Yunchuan then nodded as if satisfied and asked the secret guards to take the man away for treatment.

Fu Yao: "What are you going to do later?"

Now that he was finally free, Chu Yunchuan relaxed all his energy. His mind was in a mess and his chest was empty. After a while, he said with a little fatigue: "Let's... go to sleep first. Tomorrow I have to go to the governor's mansion to see Lord Zheng... and also to see General Qiao... By the way, Fu Yao, you helped me a lot by recognizing Wu Shameng. I can handle the rest myself. I will send someone to take you back tomorrow."

Fu Yao was not too reassured and said, "I'm not in a hurry to go back. I trust the cook that Zhiheng arranged."

Chu Yunchuan perked up, shook his head and said with a smile: "Bai Zhi will be here soon, and I won't be able to take care of you by then."

Fu Yao: “…”

Even though he knew Chu Yunchuan was joking, he still wanted to kick him.

"Okay, you'll feel more relaxed with her around, so let's say goodbye now." Fu Yao patted Chu Yunchuan's shoulder heavily, lowered his voice and said solemnly, "I'm afraid there will be something big happening later. If you're unsure about anything, just send me a letter. Even if there's nothing in it, I'll come right away."

Chu Yunchuan also patted Fu Yao's shoulder heavily and said in a serious tone: "I've got it."

There is nothing more intimate than this between close friends and old acquaintances.

After hearing the trial of the barbarians all night, he arranged for someone to send Fu Yao back to Weizhou. When Chu Yunchuan returned to King Jing's residence, it was already dawn. The guard at the door reported to him: "Your Highness, the queen just arrived. I have asked the queen to stay in your room."

Chu Yunchuan paused, feeling mixed emotions.

He had been looking forward to Bai Zhi's visit to Ningzhou this time. The captured Ge Zhen could be a great gift to Bai Zhi. Although according to the law he should be taken back to Weizhou for trial before being sentenced, it would still be ok to let Bai Zhi curse him a few times to vent her anger.

Unfortunately, the journey was in vain. Not only did Ge Zhen escape, but he also discovered the unknown conspiracy of the barbarians. It was a complete mess. Now the only thing that could welcome Bai Zhi was Chu Yunchuan's own selfish desire.

The guards at the door watched His Royal Highness Prince Jing pace back and forth, and finally he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and walked hurriedly to the wing room.

No matter how ashamed he would feel after the meeting, at this moment, he really wanted to see Bai Zhi.

The running around and pain of the night seemed to have eased a lot.

The wing room was deep inside the mansion. Chu Yunchuan started to jog as he walked. However, when he pushed open the door, there was no one inside. There were two large bundles thrown on the bed with three layers of mattresses. They were the family's bundles.

The things are there, but the person is not. Could it be that he has gone out?

Chu Yunchuan immediately wanted to ask someone to ask in detail, but stopped the next moment - there was a very familiar breathing sound in the room, it was very low and slow, but still audible.

To learn internal skills, one must first learn the breathing technique. The more familiar a person is, the better he will be able to distinguish them from their breath.

The person he was waiting for arrived.

So Chu Yunchuan simply sat down, picked up the warm teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea, then smiled and said in a pretentious manner, "I rushed to see you, Bai Zhi, where have you been?"

In an instant, a stream of rapid breath suddenly approached and three major acupoints on his body were pressed. The technique was light and quick, and Chu Yunchuan fell backwards softly without any resistance.

As expected, he did not fall to the ground, but fell into a hug that was as strong as the wind and dust. The assassin who pressed his acupoints hugged him tightly and laughed quietly: "You are too deliberate, Qiansui."

The distance from Weizhou to Ningzhou is not short. Even if the carriage is running fast, it will take ten days. She can't go that far with two children, so she can only travel slowly. She originally thought that if she couldn't make it in time for Chu Yunchuan's birthday, then she couldn't make it. It would be safer to travel slowly. But after sitting in the carriage for two days, Bai Zhi changed her mind again - she still wanted to make it in time for Chu Yunchuan's birthday.

So she forced Cheng Mao to be persuaded, entrusted the two children to him, and she herself rode a fast horse day and night to Ningzhou.

She was so busy on the road that she was confused, but she still arrived a day early. Before dawn, she led her horse on the street and asked an old woman who had a breakfast stall where the King Jing's residence was. When she arrived at the gate of the residence, she was thinking about whether it would be feasible to use Chu Yunchuan's ugly hairpin on her head to identify her identity, when the guard trotted up to her and said, "The queen is here! His Highness is not at home now. I will take the queen to the side room to rest."

Bai Zhi was very surprised: "Do you know me?"

Guard: "Yes, after receiving the letter from the Queen a few days ago, His Highness circulated the Queen's portrait to his fellow soldiers."

Bai Zhi: "..."

How come this person is always thoughtful in inexplicable ways?

But thanks to the portrait, Bai Zhi was finally able to take a break after running all the way.

What happened next was that she waited in wait for the opportunity to attack the helpless Prince Jing.

Pressing the major acupoints would inevitably make the whole body feel numb and sore. After hugging the person in her arms for a while, Bai Zhi unblocked his acupoints.

Chu Yunchuan didn't move, he just raised his head slightly and looked at Bai Zhi with a smile in his eyes: "You came earlier than I expected."

"I came here on horseback, and my butt was almost broken from the bumps along the way." Bai Zhi began to talk like a flood, "I'm telling you, I just bought that horse randomly in a town, and it's so hard to ride. The horse dealer assured me that it must be a good horse, but it ate a lot and pooped a lot along the way, and it often went on strike and wouldn't move unless I whipped it. The horse dealer actually cheated me out of thirty taels of silver for this horse, and we only bought it for twenty taels. I'll learn how to judge horses when I have some free time. By the way, I have to take the horse out to sell it during the day..."

Chu Yunchuan just listened quietly, and when Bai Zhi got excited, he would chime in. They talked for more than an incense stick before finally stopping. Bai Zhi was thirsty and ordered Chu Yunchuan, "Pour me a cup of tea."

Chu Yunchuan did not stand up. He was silent for a while, then suddenly grabbed Bai Zhi's head, turned around and bit the corner of Bai Zhi's slightly dry lips, and exhaled impatiently: "I finally see you."
