"I don’t want to... I won’t leave! I want to stay with my mother!"
"There’s no time... you... you hide under the bed first..."
The four-year-old was pushed under the bed by his mother.
He saw a pair of exquisite boots step inside, above them was a leather skirt, beyond that he couldn’t see.
However, he heard a voice icy and distant, as if it resonated over rivers, or as if it were snow from the ninth heaven.
"It’s time for you to depart."
"Unexpectedly, even you came to send me off. Was this all your doing? Haven’t you thought that if he can depose me today for someone else, he can abandon you for someone else tomorrow."
"I’m different from you, my fate will never be controlled by a man."
"Is that so? But you, like me, are both pitiable people, Ayimulan."
The Capital City began to rain heavily without anyone knowing when.
Chen Long endured the lacerations of memories again and again in the rain.
Ayimulan... Ayimulan...
Meng Qianqian’s voice brought him back to reality.
Chen Long looked up, realizing he had returned to the Governor Mansion at some unknown time, his hands gripping his heavy sword.
The rain had stopped.
The ground was a mess.
Not caused by the rain, but destroyed by his Sword Qi.
He awoke as if from a dream, throwing aside the sword and looking at Meng Qianqian with lingering fear, "Did I hurt you?"
Meng Qianqian shook her head, "No."
Chen Long bent down, picked up the Azure Dragon Sword from the ground, turned his back to Meng Qianqian, and with crimson eyes said, "I’m going away for a while, won’t show up in the meantime, and Meng Lang is just about to go to the Imperial College to study."
A complex look flashed in Meng Qianqian’s eyes, "Brother, what did Ayimulan say to you?"
Chen Long said, "The Military Book is in her hands, I will get the book, and then kill her."
Meng Qianqian stepped forward, "Brother, let me kill her."
Chen Long wiped the sword with a cloth, put the long sword back in the Sword Box, "This is my own matter, has nothing to do with you, with our parents, or the General Mansion."
Meng Qianqian’s gaze shifted.
Chen Long said, "I’m leaving, take care."
Meng Qianqian wanted to speak but stopped.
It seemed Lu Yuan guessed correctly.
The death of the Loulan Concubine was inextricably linked with Ayimulan.
Just as Chen Long stepped out of the Governor Mansion, he unexpectedly ran into Ji Li.
Ji Li shook the folding fan and said to Chen Long, "Yo, nowhere to go? Want to stay at my place for a while?"
Chen Long asked, "Did she send you?"
Ji Li sneered, "What else? You’re not Si Snake, why would I come to pick you up?"
Meng Qianqian had already anticipated everything, knowing his intent to kill Ayimulan, also knowing he didn’t want to involve the Governor Mansion.
If he was willing to stay, she would gladly accept it.
If he wanted to leave alone, she had also found him a new place to go.
"Your Princess Mansion is too inconvenient."
Ji Li rolled their eyes, "Who said I was taking you to the Princess Mansion?"
A quarter of an hour later, the two appeared in a dusty courtyard, exactly in Fengshui Alley at Ji Li’s house.
Chen Long wrinkled his eyebrows in a strange way, "You’re... letting me live here?"
Ji Li was choked by the dust, coughed several times, and said, "Otherwise? Where do you want to stay?"
Chen Long said, "At least a decent inn."
Ji Li flared up, "Hey! I earn only five copper coins a day, where am I supposed to find you an inn? Don’t push it!"
"Leave." Thıs text ıs hosted at N()velFire.net
Chen Long didn’t want to argue with him.
The only person who could tolerate this chicken was Si Snake.
Ji Li dusted off the sleeves, "Leave? This is my home!"
Chen Long asked strangely.
Ji Li pointed at the dust-covered table, "Told you this is my house, where else do I live?"
"Aren’t you the Prince Consort anymore?"
Ji Li snapped open the folding fan, "Of course I am, but that’s a separate matter. This is about a brother in need, being both members of the Twelve Guards..."
Chen Long paused, sharply said, "Princess Wanping kicked you out, didn’t she?"
"Don’t go too far, I’m warning you! The Princess loves this Commander Guard dearly, would she kick me out of the mansion? It’s clearly that this Commander Guard wanted to come to accompany this brother!"
