Destiny-changing Rain - C94
“It’s a cart that delivers grain to Cloudy Sun.” Gao Wei thought that if these people went to steal the carriages of the soldiers, they would be throwing themselves into a trap. However, since Pang You told him to deliver gold and silver, if Antuzo found out that the cars contained gold and silver, it would bring disaster to him. He wanted to tell these people that he was escorting the soldiers, so they wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
“The grain being transported to the Sunrise is for the soldiers protecting the dragon lineage. I’m afraid that Lord Yuchi won’t agree to do that. I heard that the one in charge of escorting the grain train is Antuzo.” A person said slowly.
Gao Wei knew that these four people were here to ask about the transport. Although it didn’t mean that their lives were in danger, they still had an arrogant look on their faces, but they were still a bit nervous.
“Master.” A woman’s voice came from outside in the wind. Immediately afterwards, there was a flickering flame approaching the room.
The four knew that someone was looking at each other, so one of them said, “Thank you for the wine, Sir.” Immediately after, he dashed out the door, and the other two people followed closely behind. A man in black took a glance at Gao Wei, snatched the jug of wine from his hand and hurriedly followed him out.
Watching the four of them leave, Gao Wei could only watch helplessly. When he followed them out, the four of them had already disappeared, leaving behind only darkness in the backyard.
Within Yuchi Prefecture. The night was dark and the night was bright.
General Yuchi was an important official of the imperial government and one that was highly regarded by His Majesty. His Majesty would often visit the estate, so the security of the estate was much stricter than that of the other officials.
A black shadow flashed across the eaves of the house. It stopped on the east side of the building for a while, saw the guards coming over, and then immediately disappeared into the darkness.
The four masked men traveled through the night sky and stopped beside a small arched bridge. Each of them took off their masks and shirts, which were Yan Wenqing, Ni Fei, Su Guangren and the old urchin. The old urchin was still holding a jug of wine he had just snatched from Gao Wei and drinking with relish, “Good wine, what a good wine.”
Ni Fei looked at the excited old urchin and teased, “The thousand years of female rosy hair have all been poured into your stomach, but there’s nothing left.”
“How can there be nothing at all? This thousand year old wine is really exciting.” With that, the mischievous child raised his wine pot and took another big gulp. “Here, you have another drink too.”
Ni Fei pushed the wine jug away and said, “I’m not an alcoholic.”
“This is the only pot left of the bright and resplendent millennium girl Red. You should just stay and drink it.” Su Guangren teased.
“I’ve never done anything like this.” Yan Wenqing also chuckled.
“Aunty is right, this Pang You is indeed using the cover of his status as a wealthy businessman. But what exactly is it that he and Gao Wei are transporting in secret?” Ni Fei said in confusion.
“It must be something extraordinary to send something as secret as this to the Cloudy Sun Sect.” Yan Wenqing said with certainty.
“But what on earth could have gone there at that risk?” Su Guangren said softly.
“No matter what he wants to transport, it must be related to the dragon fountain. Not only must we take revenge, we must also ruin Pu Yishan’s plan.” Ni Fei clenched his teeth and said.
“Let’s go back at this time of the night.” Yan Wenqing said.
The four of them disappeared into the darkness. The wind gently swayed the weeping willows by the river.
It was a new day, and the sun was shining brightly. The sky after the rain looked unusually blue, and the air was fresh. The entire Chang’an was suffused with an emerald green light. After the heavy rain, Changan was still bustling with activity, but they didn’t know that the lower reaches of the river was already muddy and that the houses of the people were all ruins. The homeless ones could only wrap themselves with cotton wool and hide in mountain valleys or ditches.
Chang’an had just gone through an extraordinary downpour to wash away that piece of sky jade.
Chen Feiyan leaned on the railing, quietly watching the fish in the pond swimming freely under the fake mountain under the big leaves. What a comfortable fish. The bright sunlight shined on the surface of the water, reflecting the golden light on the fake mountain. Occasionally, there would be a gust of fresh wind blowing by, blowing Chen Feiyan’s black hair, but her eyes were filled with melancholy.
The butterfly silk in her hand was wrapped around her fingertips. That life-like butterfly wanted to fly out of her hand and into the bright sunlight. However, she didn’t let it flap its wings to fly, she didn’t want it to fly away.
“Big Sister Feiyan.” A clear and melodious voice rang out from behind him, the charming voice adding a hint of gentleness and warmth to the fresh air.
Chen Feiyan slowly turned her head and saw a sixteen or seventeen year old girl walking towards her. This girl was very lively; her big eyes were bright and spirited, and her face was like a peach blossom. Her sweet and charming body made the air ring with happiness.
The girl ran to Chen Feiyan who was leaning against the railing with a joyful expression on her face. Seeing the girl jumping over, Chen Feiyan’s face was filled with joy.
“Yaoyao, why did you come to see elder sister?” Chen Feiyan said to the girl who jumped over.
“Big Sister Feiyan, don’t say anymore. My dad didn’t let me out. It took me a lot of effort to get out today.” The girl coquettishly muttered, “I was bored at home, so I came to play with Big Sis Feiyan.”
“I was just bored, so I didn’t say anything. We sisters will start nagging when you get here.” Chen Feiyan smiled like a beautiful snow lotus. Perhaps, she hadn’t smiled like this in a long time.
“My dad is always nagging me, saying that I’m a child who can’t grow up. Look at me, I’m already so old.” After saying that, she walked around the place.
“Your father is always nagging about you because he cares about you. If your brother isn’t by your side, then he’ll care about you more.” Chen Feiyan held the girl’s slender hand and said seriously.
“He always said I was crazy, that I didn’t look like a girl, and that I would be happy if I were a boy.” The girl pouted.
“Who asked you to be Yuchi Yao?” Chen Feiyan teased.
“Big sister Feiyan, you are accusing me as well. I hate you. Is it not good for Yuchi Yao?” Yuchi Yao began to grumble.
“Okay okay, who can’t say for sure. I just like that lively and adorable Yao Yao.” Chen Feiyan said as she caressed Yuchi Yao’s cheeks.
“Uncle Chen isn’t at home?”
“He’s playing chess with his old friend in the inner room.”
“Wow, Sister Feiyan, your handkerchief is so beautiful.” Yuchi Yao snatched the handkerchief from Chen Feiyan’s hand. “What a beautiful butterfly.” After saying that, Yuchi Yao raised her handkerchief to reflect the bright sunlight.
Little by little, the memories of life will always be inextricably linked with the past, like a surging wave of water rolling over, under the sun holding a beautiful handkerchief to reflect the sun happily rotating girl, smiling like flowers. Chen Feiyan thought of the cute Yu’er, the one who had kneeled down and talked to her all night, and her lingering smile. A lot of melancholy and sadness appeared between Chen Feiyan’s brows.
