famous eldest daughter

Chapter 383 Going Down the Mountain
His complicated gaze made Gu Yuqing's heart tremble.

He thought he was going to say something to Xiao Yu, but he didn't have time to blink. He just glanced at Xiao Yu's face and then turned to look at Gu Yuqing.

"what's your name?"

If Xiao Yu's voice was as proud as the snow on the cliff, his voice was as cold as jade, with a subtle agility that people couldn't ignore.

"I've already said, what do you want to ask, just ask me, why bother to frighten a woman like her?" Seeing the king taking another step towards Gu Yuqing, Xiao Yu felt anxious and said angrily behind him.

Just after Xiao Yu finished speaking, Gu Yuqing took a deep breath and clenched her fists to make her voice sound calm, "Gu Yuqing, the eldest daughter of the Chinan Marquis Mansion."

"Gu Yuqing..." He muttered and repeated Gu Yuqing's name. When the tip of his tongue slid over the last word, his eyes trembled greatly, and his face suddenly showed a huge sorrow that he could not and had no time to cover up. Or, he simply couldn't hide it. He didn't bother to hide it in front of Gu Yuqing.

Seeing that the coldness and nobility on his face faded away at a speed that could be seen, and was replaced by overwhelming sadness, Gu Yuqing suddenly frowned, "Do you recognize me?"

The king staggered, turned around, and walked out. His back was hurriedly leaving, as if he was running away. His steps were deeper and shallower, stumbling. If his subordinates hadn't caught him in time, Gu Yuqing felt that he would have fallen down. on the ground.

Suddenly, my heart became filled with surprise and suspicion.

What was it that caused his face, which had been cold and devoid of any warmth just now, to suddenly be filled with such a huge emotion?

Was it the name of Chinanhou Mansion that shocked him?After all, my father's reputation is indeed spread throughout the government and the public.

But what he muttered repeatedly was clearly his own name.

Could it be that he recognized himself... Whether it was the memory of his past life or the past of this life, Gu Yuqing's mind turned over and over again, trying hard to search for his face, but he couldn't find any trace of familiarity.

But the appearance of this king...

Stumbling to the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked straight at Gu Yuqing again. There was a bit of nostalgia and reluctance on his pale face, but he pursed his lips and waved his hands, "Let them go down the mountain."

The orders were spoken in a breathless voice, but his subordinates carried out his orders without any objection, not even a moment's delay.

After the order was given, the bearded man carefully helped him leave with a worried look on his face, while the two guards at the door each walked towards Gu Yuqing and Xiao Yu with a bright sharp blade in their hands.

He cut off the ropes on their hands and feet and said, "Go down the mountain."

After that, the two turned and left.

Xiao Yu immediately rushed to Gu Yuqing's side, hugged her and stood up. As he hurriedly walked out, he asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Gu Yuqing shook his head, what was still lingering in his mind was the sudden change of emotions on the king's face, as well as the sadness and nostalgia in his eyes.

Why on earth, why did he look at her like this, what stimulated him to have such a huge emotion in an instant... Gu Yuqing's mind was in turmoil, but she had no clue for a moment.

However, what is certain is that they have never met before, otherwise, he would not have seen her face indifferent but could produce such intense emotions just by her name.

"Xiao Yu, don't you think it's strange?" She put her hand on Xiao Yu's neck and pressed her cheek against his chest. She let Xiao Yu hold her in his arms and hurriedly ran down the mountain. Gu Yuqing finally let her thoughts wander. After going there, he opened his mouth and asked.

At this moment they were already halfway up the mountain.

A wry smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Yu's lips, "You were speechless all the way, and I thought you were frightened." After a moment of silence, Xiao Yu said, "He should recognize you."

Gu Yuqing shook his head, "I have never seen him."

Xiao Yu said: "Perhaps he received kindness from the Chinan Marquis Mansion before he became a bandit. It is unknown whether the person who gave him the kindness was your name."

At the moment, without any evidence or clues, he can only make such a guess. Otherwise, could he rely on his manly intuition and the jealousy in his heart to think that he is acting like this because he is in love with Gu Yuqing? .

Although such thoughts are indeed lingering in his mind, although they are not enough, they still refuse to go away, but... in this case, he will naturally not mention it to Gu Yuqing.

Hearing this, Gu Yuqing nodded slightly, "Apart from this, I really can't think of anything else."

Whenever a large number of victims and refugees fled to the capital, the Chinan Marquis Mansion would always set up a porridge shed and a medicine shed. On the one hand, they would provide warm meals to the victims and refugees, and on the other hand, they would seek medical treatment for them without taking any money... Perhaps, he once Just one of those people.

Recalling the magnanimity that the great king exuded, Gu Yuqing sighed, "He really doesn't look like a bandit who fell into the trap of becoming a bandit, but rather like a young master from a noble family."

Hearing Gu Yuqing's words of praise for the mountain king, Xiao Yu felt a little jealous. He often lost control of his brain towards Gu Yuqing. At this moment, the jealousy hit, and Xiao Yu's reason and mind disappeared in an instant.

He was obviously holding Gu Yuqing and running all the way down the mountain, but somehow he freed up a hand to pinch her face, gritted his teeth and said, "His young master is like a jade, what am I?"

As soon as the sour words came out, Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment.

Then he quickly hugged Gu Yuqing with both hands and quickly went down the mountain, not expecting to wait for the answer.

Gu Yuqing, however, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then smiled, leaned her cheek against Xiao Yu's thumping chest, and said, "You are one of a kind."

Xiao Yu said nothing. In the dark night, the night wind whizzed past his ears, and the drizzle of rain fell densely on his head and face. However, Xiao Yu felt that the wind was warm wind and the rain was hot rain. Even the air is filled with sweet smell.

The smell of ginger mixed with vinegar just now disappeared.

The hand holding Gu Yuqing tightened.

Nestled in Xiao Yu's arms, Gu Yuqing fell asleep, not sure whether it was because the temperature was suitable or because she was just too tired.

Seeing the person in his arms breathing gradually and evenly, like an injured kitten, sleeping on his chest obediently, with a smile on his lips, his face relaxed, without any alertness, Xiao Yu walked slowly. More and more calm.

But only he himself knows how vigilant he is.

Coming out of the cottage and going down the mountain, Xiao Yu always had a strong feeling that there was someone following him not far behind him.

That person... must be the king whom Gu Yuqing called the son Ruyu.

Xiao Yu didn't want to speculate on why he was following him all the way. From what he could tell, he didn't mean any harm. In the current situation, it was only right to carry Gu Yuqing back to the capital as soon as possible. Once he got to the capital, he would properly place her. No matter how slow he was in doing the rest, It’s never too late to unfold slowly.
