Chapter 157: Remember to buy me a drink after the fight
After dinner, Li Mulan sent Chu Jie to the door, and of course, Chu Chenfeng was there too.
Chu Jie looked reluctant, but seeing that it was getting dark, he knew he had to go, "Sister, I will come to see you again."
Li Mulan naturally wanted to ruffle his hair, but...
Looking at Chu Jie's expectant eyes, the slender white hand finally fell on his head, "I will be in Kyoto recently, there will always be a chance to meet."
"Recently? Will sister leave in the future?" Chu Jie grabbed Li Mulan's sleeve anxiously and looked at Li Mulan eagerly.
Li Mulan smiled and said, "Of course, I still have a master and many things to do. I can't stay in Kyoto forever."
"But...but, isn't your home in Kyoto?"
"So, I will definitely come to Kyoto often in the future."
But he wanted more than that. Chu Jie looked at his uncle with some dissatisfaction. So many women in Kyoto were vying to marry him. Wasn't he popular with women? Why did Sister Lan seem to have no interest in her uncle at all... What should he do?
Huo Yuanruo yawned, "Don't worry, Junior Master's family is in Kyoto, we will definitely come often and see you often."
Chu Jie knew that it was useless to say more at this time, so he could only go back and think of a solution.
"Okay, then Sister Lan, Brother Yuanruo, I'll go home first. I'll come to see you next time."
Li Mulan stuffed a small cloth bag into his hand and said, "This is some self-defense medicine I prepared for you. Take it with you, you may need it."
Chu Jie was touched, "Thank you, Sister Lan."
"You're being polite to me? Well, it's getting late, let's go back quickly." Li Mulan glanced at Chu Chenfeng who had been silent, "Uncle Chu must be getting impatient."
Chu Chenfeng's expression remained unchanged, "It's not urgent."
Li Mulan raised the corners of her lips and twitched her nose. "The incense that Uncle Chu uses... has a very special bamboo scent."
Chu Chenfeng was stunned for a moment, "Really? I'm used to using this one."
"Where did you buy this incense? Is there any store in Kyoto that sells it?"
Xing Yi behind him took the initiative to answer, "This incense was made by the master himself, it is not sold outside."
Chu Chenfeng glanced at him, and Xingyi immediately shut up. What did he say wrong? Why did he feel that the master's look just now was a little cold? Wasn't he trying to please the future mistress? Oh, it was too difficult.
Li Mulan raised her eyebrows, "I didn't expect Uncle Chu to have such a skill."
"If Miss Li likes it, I can give some to you."
"That's not necessary. This scent suits Uncle Chu very well, but it may not be suitable for my daughter, hehe."
Chu Chenfeng nodded and left with Chu Jie who was reluctant to leave.
Li Mulan watched them walk away without going back. Huo Yuanruo came to her side and asked, "Master Junior, what are you looking at?"
"You follow."
"what?"
Li Mulan sighed speechlessly, "I told you to follow."
"What are you following?"
"Follow Xiaojie home, and then...come back and tell me."
Huo Yuanruo frowned, "What do you doubt?"
Li Mulan glared at him, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Go quickly."
Huo Yuanruo muttered a few words and flew away.
Chu Chenfeng and Chu Jie were sitting in the carriage, both of them were silent, and finally Chu Jie spoke first, "Uncle, I think Sister Lan seems to know something."
"Ah."
Chu Jie opened his eyes wide, "The emperor's uncle also found out?"
Chu Chenfeng did not answer his question, but raised his eyes slightly, "Are you afraid that she will know?"
Chu Jie looked a little depressed. "I was afraid that Sister Lan would think that I had deceived her, that I was insincere, and that she would no longer consider me a friend."
"She's not like that."
"How did the emperor know?"
"She has a free and easy personality and is very understanding. She will definitely understand your difficulties and will not blame you."
Chu Jie's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect the emperor's uncle to think so highly of Sister Lan."
Chu Chenfeng stopped talking. The look he gave Chu Jie made Chu Jie shrink his neck unconsciously. The emperor's uncle was really too perceptive. Xiao Linzi at the side didn't dare to speak the whole time, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible. Riding in the same carriage with the Regent, he just wanted to hide himself. He was too scared.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped and Xingyi's voice came, "Master, something is wrong ahead."
Chu Chenfeng glanced at Chu Jie and sneered, "It seems that the screening in Kyoto is not clean enough."
"Who do you think it could be, uncle?"
"No matter who it is, they will know as soon as you leave the palace. It seems that this palace is not clean either."
Chu Jie pursed his lips and said nothing.
Suddenly, countless arrows flew towards him.
Xingyi's eyes were cold, and he immediately fired a signal flare, then shouted, "Protection."
The dozen or so guards were all well-trained and carefully selected experts, and they immediately formed a protective presence around the carriage.
“Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”······
"Ah..." Xiao Linzi's scream came from the carriage, but Chu Chenfeng gave him a cold look. He immediately covered his mouth, but his body was shaking like a sieve.
Countless arrows were shot at, most of them were shot away by the guards, and some hit the carriage. Chu Chenfeng and Chu Jie in the carriage were safe and sound.
This carriage was also specially made. It looked ordinary on the outside, but the carriage was made of special materials and it was difficult to destroy it with ordinary swords.
All the arrows were swept down, and then black-clad assassins came from all directions.
There was a huge disparity in the number of troops on both sides, and Xingyi was a little anxious, but he knew that as long as he could hold on for a while, the Royal Guards would definitely arrive.
Huo Yuanruo, who followed later, saw this scene and did not hide anymore. He immediately flew over and joined the fight.
"Xiaojie, are you okay?"
When Chu Jie heard Huo Yuanruo's voice, he was surprised and said, "Brother Yuanruo? It's Brother Yuanruo."
"Hide in the carriage and don't come out."
"Okay, I understand, Brother Yuanruo, you should be careful too."
"Don't worry, these bastards can't do anything to me."
Huo Yuanruo knocked one of them away with one palm. He missed his sword so much that he had put it away since he came to Beijing to avoid unnecessary trouble. He picked up an enemy's long sword and flew up to make a sword flower. The black-clothed men around him fell to the ground instantly.
When Xing saw Huo Yuanruo, he felt relieved instantly, "Brother Huo, thank you."
"Don't be polite, remember to buy me a drink after the fight."
"That must be true."
Both of them are masters among masters, and one of them can defeat thousands of troops. Even though the killers who came this time are all skilled in martial arts, they will not be able to get any good results at the hands of these two.
Chu Chenfeng looked calm, and no one knew what he was thinking, and he didn't say anything.
Chu Jie was very anxious and carefully lifted the curtain of the window. A cold light flashed, and Chu Chenfeng quickly pulled the person behind him and knocked the poisonous dart down with a palm wind.
