New Life of Broken Cedar - C78

The youth standing near him instantly became restless.

“What, Imperial Concubine Gu is missing?” “The king says that once we find him, we will receive a great reward. The silver would be enough for us people to spend for several years.”

“Yes, yes. Do you think the person in the painting looks familiar? I think I saw it there. ”

“A little.” But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t remember.

“Hehe, even if you don’t want any silver coins, it would be too lucky to see Imperial Concubine Gu’s person in person.” A big guy with a vulgar expression rubbed his hands and said with good intentions.

Everyone thought about Imperial Concubine Gu’s appearance and inexplicably agreed with what the burly man said.

“Then everyone must inform each other when you see them. You can’t just take them all for yourself.”

The announcement here was not updated even once in half a month. Everyone was looking forward to when the Imperial City would approve of some food. They didn’t expect that such a notice would be posted.

This matter caused the people in front of the announcement to be empty.

Gu Mo Yan was sitting in a corner of the teahouse, and no one noticed him. He had heard an incredible piece of news. Mo Gu Han had ordered the people to capture him and bring him back.

It made him feel as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at him, as if he had nowhere to hide. He stealthily dragged himself back to his room. After finishing all the food in front of him, he put some silver on the table and followed the path back to his room.

When he returned to his room safely, Gu Moyan closed the door immediately, afraid that someone would suddenly appear in front of him, pointing at him and saying, “This is Imperial Concubine Gu, everyone go and capture him.”

Gu Moyan sat on a stool in her room, holding her head with a worried look on her face. How she was going to get rid of the civilians and soldiers outside, as well as how she was going to settle her dinner.

Night gradually descended, but Gu Mo Yan was still at a loss. The waiter knocked on his door, and he knew that he had to light the lamp.

He quietly opened the door a little bit so that the waiter could pass in the food and quickly shut the door.

The waiter standing outside the door looked confused. Was he that scary? The guest didn’t even want to show his face. Then, he touched his own face. If not for the shopkeeper’s reminder that he wanted to come to this room to deliver his meal, he would have refused to come. He didn’t even light the lamp in the middle of the night, so he had no idea what was going on inside.

The waiter didn’t want to cause trouble, so he turned around and went downstairs. As for who was in the guest room, he didn’t really think about it.

As for the owner of the inn, he had only given Yun Tian a silver ingot to take care of this guest before he left, but he didn’t really look at what that guest looked like. He was just a pretty boy with watery eyes. It looked a little like someone he had seen before. He did not think too much about it. There were too many people coming and going in the inn every day.

When it was close to midnight, the wind and snow began to blow harder, causing the windows to flap noisily. In addition to the indistinct sound of sobbing, it gave the night a rather strange feeling, just enough to knock on the window three times.

Gu Moyan took advantage of this noise and quietly went downstairs. The room had been pawned for several days when he first started living, and he left before the room was full. The boss probably wouldn’t ask for more.

He covered his face with a cloth and rushed out of the inn while the waiter and the shopkeeper were dozing off.

It was close to midnight, with fine snow and the moon obscured by clouds. The sound of several people knocking on the copper coins slowly drifted over. It was pitch black. There were lanterns flickering in and out of the eaves, fluttering in the wind.
