Rebirth of the Beloved

Chapter 161 Confusion (2)
"Master, it has been dealt with cleanly."

Hearing the familiar voice, he subconsciously turned his head. Because he turned too fast, he was caught off guard by the broad and solid chest of the person who came.

Rubbing the tip of her nose consciously in pain, Xu Gu wanted to reach out in a panic to brush away the strands of hair that had fallen down and covered her cheeks, to check how the bump was going, but as if she suddenly thought of something, she hid her hands behind her back and squatted down Body, at a loss, asked: "Are you all right, Miss Zhiyi?"

Zhiyi raised her head, nose to nose, eyes to eyes, and the two faces were only a few centimeters apart.

Seeing the handsome face magnified in front of his eyes, Zhiyi blushed instantly, and hurriedly stepped back to distance himself from Xu Gu.

She was pleasantly surprised, and stammered, "I, I. I'm not, I'm fine!"

"Huh?" Seeing her red nose, Xu Gu walked over to check again, and asked again: "Is it really all right?"

"T-really, Brother Engong, don't get so close to me." Knowing that there is no way to retreat, she bit her lips nervously.

Xu Gu didn't hear clearly: "Ah? What did you say?"

Shen Heng, who was completely ignored at the side, looked at them silently, his face became more and more gloomy, and his black eyes were about to burst into ice.

It's fine if I don't see Ye Qingwan, but seeing her girl and his subordinate flirting and flirting in front of me is really pissing me off.

"Okay." Shen Heng couldn't stand it anymore.So he suppressed the flames of anger ignited by jealousy, and said in a deep voice, "Send her back."

After all, that girl is hers, so she can't take her anger out on hers.

Only then did the two of them realize that Shen Heng was still there, and they were terrified, and hurriedly left the room that was terrified and chilled by Shen Heng.

Zhiyi didn't realize what was going on until she followed Xu Gu out of the mansion.She froze in place, staring blankly at the man in front of her.

What?Her benefactor brother actually sent her back in person? !
Noticing that the people behind him had stopped, Xu Gu turned around and saw the wandering little girl put her hands behind her waist again, coughed twice and said, "Girl Zhiyi, follow quickly, don't be in a daze."

Xu Gu's words made Zhiyi's face even redder, and she stammered, "Okay, okay."

When the night was deep and the dew was thick, a few scattered stars hung on the black sky, and the faint moonlight cast all over the two people walking side by side on the avenue, reflecting two black shadows, one long and one short.

Zhiyi, who gradually calmed down, was secretly relieved. Fortunately, the girl told her that everything had been done, but His Royal Highness Yi's aura was too terrifying, which made her still have lingering fears. If possible, She hoped that she would not have any contact with him as much as possible in the future.

Thinking about it, she didn't know why, so she turned her gaze to Xu Gu beside her, and then fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, she grasped her sleeves tightly, and after struggling for a while, she was finally defeated.She muttered twice at the corner of her mouth, and asked straightforwardly: "Brother Engong, are you from His Royal Highness Prince Yi?"

After asking, she herself felt what a stupid question it was.

Xu Gu calls Shen Heng his master, what is someone who is not Shen Heng.

Xu Gu was slightly taken aback.He didn't expect Zhiyi to ask a question suddenly, and he asked this question. He thought that although he deliberately concealed his identity from her before, but today he had to reveal his identity to protect her, then she should be clear, why are you asking again now?
Do you want to hear him confess?

Or is it that she can't believe or accept that he is Shen Heng's subordinate?

For a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Xu Gu tilted his head and lowered his eyes, intending to tell her to stop asking about this matter, but when he saw the other party's watery, clear and innocent apricot eyes, he finally couldn't bear it.

So he graciously admitted that he was indeed Shen Heng's person, because he thought... maybe this little girl should just hear the answer from him with her own mouth.

"Oh fine."

The atmosphere between the two froze again, and Zhiyi would sneak a glance at Xu Gu from time to time, and she found that her benefactor brother was really good-looking.

Sword eyebrows and star eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, a slender figure, and an imposing manner.
Seeing that they will arrive at the General's Mansion in a short time, it also means that they are about to part, and she is a little bit reluctant.

She wanted to talk to Xu Gu, but she didn't know what to say.

Zhiyi suddenly remembered that when they left the house, they didn't seem to see the guard who made things difficult for her before.

She used this as a starting point, and took the initiative to talk to Xu Gu: "Brother Engong, where is the guard who blocked me from entering the mansion just now? Why didn't we see him again when we came out?"

Xu Gu's face suddenly changed.

He didn't want to tell Zhiyi that the guard had been killed by him.

And the hand that I had been deliberately hiding was also because it was stained with blood and I couldn't deal with it in time, for fear of scaring Zhiyi and affecting her image of being tall and upright in her heart.

Then he found a rather lame reason, and prepared to evade it: "He can no longer hold a position in the palace, so he will be sent away."

Zhiyi nodded thoughtfully, lowered her head and happened to see Xu Guyin's big hand that he hadn't had time to hide again because of his distraction, and that hand with well-defined knuckles was dyed bright red almost a little dazzling.

She immediately understood that the other party was lying.

Zhiyi couldn't help shivering. Although the guard was really hateful, he was ordered to be killed by King Yi just because he stopped her?
It can be seen from this that King Yi is truly cold-blooded and ruthless.

When it was only two or three hundred meters away from the general's mansion, Zhiyi bid farewell to Xu Gu.One is that there is a difference between men and women, and the other is that the General's Mansion now has a lot of eyeliners of the second room. If she is seen walking with a man of unknown origin in the middle of the night, she will definitely be used as a handle to find Ye Qingwan troublesome.

So, with all kinds of desperation, Zhiyi chose the same unique way of returning home as Ye Qingwan——
Over the wall.

Xu Gu, who had already leaped onto the eaves with lightness kung fu, silently looked at Zhiyi hanging on the wall, feeling rather complicated, a little speechless, and a little helpless.

What's wrong with this pair of masters and servants, why do they like to use this way to return home?
Knowing how to climb over the wall is not as familiar as Ye Qingwan's. It took a lot of effort to climb over the low wall, and when she jumped off the wall, she fell off the wall, tears came out in pain.

Seeing the little girl who couldn't climb over the wall fall down, Xu Gu's heart trembled, and he couldn't help thinking to himself that he should take her directly into the mansion, not only saving a lot of energy, but also avoiding the pain of flesh and blood.

Wiping the dust off his buttocks, Zhizhi hurriedly headed towards Luoqing Courtyard, just after passing through the long corridor, he bumped into an acquaintance by coincidence.
