Gu Jiao also arrived at Baishi Street. She weaved herself through the crowd, looking for Gu Yan’s figure in every direction. When she passed by a teahouse, she vaguely felt a familiar feeling, as if she had been here before.
But she clearly hadn’t.
It was Gu Yan.
He had been here.
Gu Jiao searched around the teahouse and stopped as she passed a corner.
She looked at the spacious but secluded alley on the left, and somehow, she suddenly felt a little hard to breathe.
She covered her stuffy chest, feeling a sudden burst of pain there!
"Ah Yan!"
Gu Changqing returned through the Baishi Street route from Master Lu’s residence, and he also found this neighborhood.
When he saw Gu Jiao, he galloped his horse over. Seeing that Gu Jiao didn't look well, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Jiao's hand squeezed her lapel tightly as she looked to the dark and boundless night in the east, "Ah Yan is there."
Following her gaze, Gu Changqing looked into the distance before withdrawing his sight and holding out a hand to her, "Come up."
Gu Jiao grabbed his hand and jumped to get on the horse. She grabbed the saddle on her own.
Gu Changqing didn't have to worry about her falling off as much as he worried about Gu Yan. He pulled on the reins and said, "Go!"
The horse seemed to feel his master's emotions and galloped quickly in the night.
"Which way?"
Gu Changqing asked Gu Jiao when they reached a fork in the road.
Gu Jiao turned her head and looked, "This way."
Gu Changqing clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and it quickly ran into the street on the right side.
When they passed a residential district and entered a colorful alley, Gu Changqing seemed to have guessed what was going on. This alley was very famous in the capital. It was a place where mostly the rich and powerful indulged themselves in sensual pleasures.
Someone once brought him here, saying that he was going to give him a house. He didn't know much about this place then, but he wasn't used to taking bribes. However, the other person said with a smile, "Why should Lord Commandant be polite? Lord Tang has also bought a house here, just the one in front."
Thanks to this memory, Gu Changqing now knew where Tang Ming was.
He couldn't wait for the horse to rush there. He flipped over and dismounted, handed the horse to Gu Jiao, then he used his qinggong to disappear into the night.
The moment he left, something flashed through his mind, but it was too fast for him to grasp.
The moonlight was dusky and the candlelight was indistinct.
Tang Ming had already torn up Gu Yan's outer robe and middle clothes to shreds, leaving only the thin inner clothes draped messily over his body.
This was a real beauty under the sky.
Tang Ming caressed the slender white legs beneath him as he pressed down on Gu Yan.
Bang!
With a loud noise, the whole door fell straight to the ground.
A powerful murderous aura came from behind Tang Ming, causing the curtain around the bed to move without any wind. Tang Ming felt a chill on his back and quickly raised his hand to draw the sword beside the pillow, but before he could even touch it, a whip pierced through the curtain and wrapped around his neck.
Even before he could resist, he was mercilessly pulled up and flung against the wall. After a violent collision, he fell heavily to the ground.
His fall wasn’t light at all, so much so that he failed to get up for a long time.
Gu Changqing dashed to the bed, lifted the curtain, and saw the almost naked Gu Yan. His eyes grew extremely cold. Instead of wrapping Gu Yan with the quilt on the bed, he quickly took off his robe and wrapped Gu Yan with it!
Gu Yan's consciousness was muddled and his body was a little hot.
He was obviously drugged.
Gu Changqing was itching to murder a certain someone, but nothing was more important than Gu Yan's life.
He carried Gu Yan up, and Gu Yan lay feebly in his arms.
"Don't..." He said weakly.
Gu Changqing felt his heart break so badly that his arms were trembling uncontrollably as he held Gu Yan.
"It's me." He said softly.
Gu Yan looked at him in a daze. In fact, he couldn’t see clearly anymore. He could only see a vague outline of a figure in front of him, but the other person’s aura made him feel at ease.
He opened his lips slightly, "Big brother?"
Gu Changqing felt his heart crumble into pieces by this call of big brother.
Although he perfectly knew that this big brother was the same as the big brother in Little Jing Kong's mouth, Gu Changqing's heart still trembled slightly.
He suddenly wanted to tell him: That’s right , I am your big brother, your real big brother.
"Sob~" After confirming the identity of the person who carried him away, Gu Yan suddenly felt wronged.
The rim of his eyes that refused to turn red in tears in front of Tang Ming redden at once at this moment, while the corners of his eyes and the tips of his eyebrows revealed an indescribable grievance.
Gu Changqing's heart was instantly pierced into a sieve.
He tightly held Gu Yan in his arms, and for a moment, he almost lost his rationality. If Gu Yan's breathing wasn’t too weak, he really would have rushed over and ended Tang Ming’s life here and now!
"Gu Changqing... It’s you?" Tang Ming finally recovered some strength. He slowly got up from the ground, but before he could do so, he was kicked down again by Gu Changqing!
He spat out a mouthful of blood!
Gu Changqing looked at him with eyes as murderous as it could possibly be, "Tang Ming, I will definitely settle this account with you!"
Tang Ming felt like he had seen a ghost. How come Gu Changqing was here?
Wasn't this kid——
Tang Ming suddenly remembered that he had seen Gu Changqing traveling with a youth on horseback on the street before. Could it be… This little beauty in front of him was the same youth Gu Changqing was protecting in his arms back then?
What exactly was their relationship?
This kid said he was Marquis Ding'an's son... Was it true?
But Gu Changqing only recognized his two younger brothers from the same mother, didn't he? Since when did he care about the life and death of his step brother?
His expression looked so grim as though he wanted to kill someone!
Did he have to go that far?!
Tang Ming suffered some internal injuries. He covered his aching abdomen while glaring at Gu Changqing maliciously. Wiping the blood from his mouth with the other hand, he said with a sneer, "Isn't it just a vixen’s son? Don't you hate them too? Why don't you just hand him over to me and I'll discipline him for you."
Tang Ming really didn't think much of a stepchild, an existence which wasn’t very well liked at most households. Moreover, he also heard that Marquis Ding'an's second wife wasn’t high-born, and had been left out in the cold all these years, living in the countryside villa with her son.
In that case, who exactly was Gu Changqing putting an act of a protective older brother for?
Gu Yan's breath was very unstable. Gu Changqing resisted the urge to fight with Tang Ming, and in the end simply took a look at Tang Ming, "If I were you, I would escape the capital overnight and never come back again."
"Heh." Tang Ming snorted scornfully.
If Gu Changqing threatened him like this in the past, Tang Ming might still be somewhat afraid. But now, his uncle was the National Supreme Commander, and he himself had been promoted to a deputy general. Gu Changqing, a little commandant within Hushan Camp, wasn't enough to enter his eyes!
He wasn’t afraid that Gu Changqing would complain about his actions. Although it was his fault, if this news really got out, it would damage the youth’s reputation.
By then, the whole capital would know that Gu Changqing's younger brother was toyed with by him, Tang Ming.
Could Gu Changqing and this beautiful teenager afford to lose such face?
Gu Changqing did not waste any more time with Tang Ming and left the place with his qinggong while carrying Gu Yan in his arms.
Not long after going out, Gu Changqing met Gu Jiao who had tied his horse to the tree on the side of the road and was on her way to charge into Tang Ming’s place.
When Gu Changqing saw his horse, he finally remembered what he had forgotten earlier—— his horse had a strange temper and generally wouldn’t let other people ride itself. Was everything all right with his younger sister?
Gu Jiao didn't know what he was thinking. She looked at Gu Yan, who was wrapped in Gu Changqing's clothes, in an instant, a hint of blood lust flitted across her eyes!
"Who did it?"
"Tang Ming, someone you don't know."
"Tang Family?"
"That's right."
Gu Jiao glared at the house, clenched her fists tightly and held back the violence in her blood, then she walked in front of Gu Changqing.
She examined Gu Yan's complexion and checked Gu Yan's pulse.
Gu Yan's purse was gone. It had his medicine in it.
Fortunately, Gu Jiao was also keeping Gu Yan's medicine in her pouch all the time. She first took out two pills for Gu Yan and then fetched the water from the saddle to make it easy for him to swallow.
But with Gu Yan's present condition, taking this medicine alone was obviously not enough.
The two of them took Gu Yan back to Bishui Alley.
The night wind was a little cold. Gu Changqing was afraid that Gu Yan would freeze, so he took off his middle clothes too and wrapped it on Gu Yan, then he walked all the way with Gu Yan in his arms while only wearing his thin inner clothes.
From time to time, some people on the streets would cast strange gazes on them, but they didn't recognize who he was.
When they got to the gate, Gu Jiao thought of something and told Gu Changqing, "Go to Granduncle’s side!"
Gu Changqing understood her meaning and said, "Alright."
