Chapter 157
"I had to go out of the city for something today, and I didn't expect it to be a little late when I returned. Captain Fang, I have to trouble you to order someone to open the city gate." Seeing the general guarding the city gate coming, Ye Yunzhou's expression returned to his usual indifference, and he spoke in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, the guarding lieutenant, Captain Fang, was still looking shocked, but he quickly recovered and replied, "Yes, sir, I will order the city gates to be opened immediately."
After saying this, he turned and shouted to his soldiers, "Quick! Open the city gates and welcome the governor into the city!"
As the heavy city gate slowly opened, Ye Yunzhou nodded slightly, his eyes filled with gratitude for the captain. Then, he swiftly turned and mounted his horse. With a sharp swipe of the whip, the horse, in pain, neighed loudly, and galloped off towards the city, raising a cloud of dust. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the streets deep within the city gate.
Captain Fang looked at Ye Yunzhou's receding figure with a look of admiration in his eyes, and secretly sighed: "A tiger father will have a dog son. He is indeed a promising young man!
On the side, the soldier who had just stopped Ye Yunzhou shrank his neck and trembled when he heard his captain sigh like this.
He lamented inwardly: It's over, it's over, I've messed with the wrong people. Could it be that I'm going to be kicked out of the city guard after only being a soldier for three days?
Captain Fang blinked as Ye Yunzhou completely disappeared. He turned back to look at the soldier with beads of sweat on his forehead and sneered, "What are you afraid of? You fulfilled your duties. There's nothing to be afraid of."
The soldier's expression of fear eased slightly when he heard this, but he still looked at Captain Fang in panic: "I know I'm wrong, and I hope the Captain will punish me."
Captain Fang waved his hand. "That's all right. Ye Dusi isn't a narrow-minded person. He didn't mention you, which means he doesn't blame you. Just keep doing your job. If you encounter a similar situation in the future, remember not to argue with others. Call me immediately. Otherwise, if you provoke someone you shouldn't, I, a mere captain, can't protect you."
The soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly.
Ye Yunzhou had long forgotten about the soldier. After entering the main city, he controlled his horse's speed to avoid hurting pedestrians. This took a while. When he returned to the Hidden Dragon Division, he found that Ye Yi had not returned.
He waved his hand and asked everyone from Yinlongsi to take the horse away, while he stood in the yard waiting for Ye Yi to return.
……
There was a big tree not far from the side door of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. Ye Yi squatted on the top of the tree and quietly observed the side door.
"Pah." He reached out and slapped a mosquito that landed on his face, muttering to himself, "What's going on? Why hasn't anyone come out of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion? If this continues, Liu Er will freeze to death."
After he dumped Liu Xiangdong near the side door of the Bo Mansion, he had been a little worried. Could this kid go the whole night without being discovered? It would be unacceptable if he just died like this. The Governor now attached great importance to Miss Luo Biao. If she was implicated in this matter, the Governor would definitely not let him off easily.
If the main gate of the Earl's Mansion was not too conspicuous, and there were not so many nobles coming and going, and there were so many people and so many gossips, it would be difficult to clean up the situation, and he would have wanted to just throw the people out the main gate.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Ye Yi swatted several more mosquitoes to death. Only then did the side door slowly open. Seeing that the masters had already gone to bed, the gatekeeper sneakily opened the door, intending to go out and buy two taels of rice wine. Unexpectedly, she tripped over something after walking a few steps.
"Ouch! Whoever threw something here and there almost killed me, an old woman." The gatekeeper got up cursing and kicked the thing twice, still not satisfied.
The kick was so powerful that the head of the person in the sack came out. The woman took a closer look in the moonlight and saw a pale face. "Ah! There's a dead person! Help! There's a dead person at the door!"
Ye Yi hid in a tree, stunned as he watched the old woman dash into the yard like an arrow. Her legs were so fast that you could see her afterimage. Add to that her loud, ghostly howling voice, and it was hard to tell which was scarier, her or the dead.
Seeing that someone had finally discovered him, Ye Yi did not stay any longer and flew away immediately. After a few takeoffs and landings, he disappeared into the night.
Ye Yi hurried back to the Hidden Dragon Division. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw the Supervisor gazing at the moon, his figure as tall and straight as a pine or bamboo. Seeing Ye Yi return, Ye Yunzhou turned around, his eyes cold, "Is it clean?"
Ye Yi grinned, his face full of pride: "Of course, I'm doing the job, what else do you have to worry about?"
Ye Yunzhou ignored his playful expression and continued to instruct, "Pay close attention to the Bo Mansion these few days. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."
"Yes." Ye Yi stopped smiling and responded seriously.
Then he smiled again, approached Ye Yunzhou with a playful smile, bumped his shoulder against him, and asked with a wink, "Have you seen your cousin?"
Ye Yunzhou glanced at him, and seeing his curious expression, he deliberately said slowly, "Do you want to know?"
"Yeah! Yeah!" Ye Yi nodded hurriedly, his head nodding like pounding garlic, thinking that Ye Yunzhou was going to tell him the details.
"I won't tell you." Ye Yunzhou's tone was calm but with a hint of teasing.
Looking at Ye Yi's incredulous expression, Ye Yunzhou's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a rare mischievous smile.
.........
Inside the Jing'an Marquis's residence, a scene of bustle and chaos unfolded. The Marquis's wife stood guard outside her son's residence, her heart pounding with anxiety. Doctors hurried in and out. Having risen in such haste, she had only thrown on a casual outer garment, her hair a bit disheveled. Though she looked a bit disheveled, her beauty remained undimmed.
Her expression was filled with worry, her eyes fixed on the room. When she saw the doctor finally come out, she hurried forward, grabbed the doctor's sleeve, and asked anxiously, "How is my son? Is he seriously injured?"
The doctor gently avoided her hand, his tone filled with relief, "Luckily, the young master was found in time, and his broken leg was reattached in time. If he is well cared for, he will surely recover."
When Lady Jing'an heard this, her heart was filled with distress. She couldn't help but sigh secretly, muttering, "It's okay if it can get better, it's okay if it can get better."
Thinking of her son's bloodied chest and back, she continued to ask worriedly, "What about his injuries?" The doctor waved his hand and said, "They're minor injuries, nothing serious. Just apply some ointment, and they'll scab over in a few days."
Lady Jing'an was relieved. It didn't matter if the man had scars on his body. He was not a woman, and no one would care whether he had scars or not.
After seeing the doctor off, Lady Jing'an tiptoed into the inner chamber. Gazing at her unconscious son, whose body was covered in bruises, she felt as if her heart were being gripped by an invisible hand. Tears welled up in her eyes, streaming down her face.
