Liao Quan went to rent a carriage.
Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan stayed in the carriage and waited.
The two of them fell asleep while waiting.
When Gu Xiaoshun woke up, he discovered that Gu Yan was gone!
Gu Changqing had made a trip to Nanfeng Inn.
"They set off an hour ago, haven’t they reached home yet?" Nanxiang frowned and asked.
She was wearing a veil, Gu Changqing could not see her ghastly and fearsome face, but even if he could, he wouldn’t care.
Gu Changqing said, "They might have arrived by now, I’ll go back and look for them."
On his way back to Baishi Street, Gu Changqing ran into Liao Quan and Gu Xiaoshun.
"Where is Gu Yan?" he asked.
"He, he’s gone!" Gu Xiaoshun anxiously said.
"What happened?" Gu Changqing asked.
Gu Xiaoshun narrated what had happened on their journey.
Gu Changqing squinted his eyes slightly: "What does that man look like?"
After Gu Xiaoshun gave a detailed description, Gu Changqing’s face turned cold in an instant: "Tang, Ming!"
Indeed, the man who wanted to befriend Gu Yan was Tang Ming, the Captain of Tiger Mountain Camp, who was now a deputy general after his uncle became the Grand Marshal.
Now, his rank was even higher than Gu Changqing’s.
The moment he saw Gu Yan at the restaurant, he was blown away.
The first time he met Gu Yan, Gu Yan was draped tightly in a cloak by Gu Changqing, revealing only a pair of slender legs and an exquisite hand, hence he didn’t recognize him as the beautiful young boy that Gu Changqing once held in his arms.
Furthermore, the Old Priest was a rather low-profile man, his carriage was also low-key and ordinary, not at all like that of a noble family’s transportation, so he did not think that Gu Yan was someone significant.
Gu Yan was lying on the soft bed. Due to the effect of the sedative, his breathing was slightly rushed, and his cheeks were a bit feverish, giving off an enticing blush.
The young man was slim and slender, and although his Adam’s apple was not large, it was very delicate.
Tang Ming had played with many boys before, but he had never seen such an unearthly beauty.
He was simply watching, and he felt as if his soul was being taken away.
Gu Yan slowly woke up, still under the effect of the sedative, he could hardly move.
He felt a sudden pang in his heart and glanced sideways, seeing the face he had seen countless times tonight, a wave of intense disgust surged from the bottom of his heart!
But Tang Ming just laughed.
Indeed, a beauty like him is even more enticing when angry. The faintly reddened corners of his eyes were really stirring his heart.
Tang Ming lifted his hand, due to years of martial arts practice, his palms and fingertips were covered with thin calluses. He lightly touched Gu Yan’s face, which immediately turned red.
Tang Ming’s eyes were filled with desire.
In fact, Tang Ming was not bad looking, he was stern and handsome, and successful at a young age. Over the years, many people have willingly followed him.
Unfortunately, Gu Yan was not one of them.
Gu Yan felt nauseous and roared with the little strength he had left: "You...get lost!"
Tang Ming chuckled eying him: "Oh? Why would the Empress kill me?"
Gu Yan: "The Empress...is my...aunt..."
Tang Ming was taken aback for a moment, then threw his head back and laughed loudly: "The Empress is your aunt? The Empress is your aunt? I don’t know you, but I know the Empress! I am more familiar with her family than you are!"
The members of Zhuang family were numerous, he had seen every one of them, including the Prince of An, who was known for his beauty.
Unfortunately, the Prince of An was the Empress’ favorite and the legitimate grandson of Minister Zhuang. Given his status, Tang Ming could not afford to offend him.
Gu Yan glared at him. The sedative was powerful, and after speaking just a few words he was already on the verge of passing out. He struggled to stay conscious: "If...you...don’t...let me go...the Empress...the Empress...will...really...kill you!"
"Hahahaha!" Tang Ming laughed arrogantly, "I don’t know if the Empress will kill me. Why don’t I tell you who I am first? I am the nephew of the Grand Marshal of all armies, my uncle is the trusty aide of the Empress. The first thing the Empress did when she returned to the capital was to promote my uncle from the position of Grand Cavalry General to Grand Marshal of all armies, military power even higher than the Marquis Xuanping! You tell me, would the Empress kill me, just for touching a scholar like you?"
Gu Yan had completely run out of strength to speak.
And just now, that bit of resistance made his face a bit redder, which made Tang Ming extremely pleased.
He lifted Gu Yan’s chin: "Good boy, don’t be afraid, I’ll treat you well. After taking this medicine, you won’t feel any discomfort."
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his robe and poured a dark-red pill into his hand.
Gu Yan clenched his teeth.
Unluckily, it made no difference whether he had been drugged or not. Even without it, his weak strength was laughable in the eyes of a master like Tang Ming. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Tang Ming grabbed his chin, forcing him to swallow the pill.
Gu Yan struggled desperately, but to no avail.
Once the pill entered the stomach, his consciousness started to blur.
Tang Ming laughed triumphantly, dropped the curtain, and tore apart the clothes that lay scattered on the ground...
