“Yun Zhi, don’t be reckless. What if she’s a spy?”
“A spy?” Yun Zhi looked at Gu Qingtong amusedly. “Have you ever seen a spy with disabled legs?”
Yun Shan looked at her bare, swollen, bluish legs and feet: “Even so, you can’t rashly take her back. Beautiful women are poison. Have you forgotten the previous lesson?”
Yun Zhi’s expression instantly changed: “I won’t argue with you. Wait for Yun Yan yourself.”
Whether he returns or not, after being in the Yuan Chao Kingdom for so long, who knows what his intentions are for suddenly coming back!”
Gu Qingtong had hoped Yun Shan would convince Yun Zhi to leave her behind, but instead, Yun Zhi decided to leave early without waiting for their contact.
On horseback, Yun Zhi tormented Gu Qingtong, riding on bumpy slopes that made her nauseous. Since she neither resisted nor made a sound, he found it boring and quickened his pace towards Lan Ka City.
At the city gate, Yun Zhi saw the person he did not want to see, pulling on the reins, causing the horse’s hooves to rise high and neigh loudly.
Gu Qingtong was jostled and, with the black horse suddenly stopping, felt even more uncomfortable in her stomach. Although she knew there were people ahead, she could not open her eyes.
Yun Yan glanced at Yun Zhi, but when he saw Gu Qingtong on the horse’s back, his expression changed: “You, how is she with you?”
“You know her?” Yun Zhi sat on his tall horse, having no good feelings towards this royal brother who had been away for nearly eight years. Seeing that he actually knew this woman, he sneered.
Yun Yan had walked down from Qin Mian Peak and had no means of transportation at the moment. Worried that Gu Qing Tong might have been mistreated, he stepped forward to embrace her.
But how could Yun Zhi allow this? He swung his whip and struck blood on Yun Yan’s hand: “She is a woman I have taken a fancy to.”
Yun Yan was equally unyielding, grabbing Gu Qing Tong’s waist: “But she is already my woman.”
Yun Zhi would not believe him. He squeezed the horse’s belly, let out a loud shout, and galloped ahead into Lan Ka city.
