Chapter 0133 – Chariots and Horses (1 / 2)

The remaining sun was like blood, and the afterglow enveloped the entire Jiangzhou City.

On the street of Jiangzhou City, a handsome green-clothed male galloped past with his steed. The sound of the horse’s hooves was as urgent as the beat of a drum, pounding on the green stone paved streets and alleys, reverberating with a gust of afterimages.

A few vendors were so shocked that they dropped the dishes in their hands and couldn’t help but spit, “Is there a death in the family! How dare you gallop your horse on the main road!”

“Eh! That’s not the Chen family’s Erlang! How come his leg is better?”

As the horse bumped, Chen Zian’s back straightened and he apologized aloud, “I’m sorry, folks, there’s an emergency at home, so please make way! If any of you folks have suffered any losses, please put it on my Chen family’s account first!”

The steed galloped, bringing up dust and smoke along the way, as if it were a tumbling green cloud, wrapped in Chen Zian’s anxiety and trepidation.

He gripped the reins so tightly that his knuckles were white from the exertion.

It can’t be her. It’s definitely not her.

That night, the situation of the two talking still echoed in front of Chen Zian’s eyes.

“Fragrant Capsicum, do you really want to heal that madman Xu Guang?”

“A bully like that, I wouldn’t be so kind as to prescribe that medicine which is nothing more than an early overdraft of his essence.”

“So you’re using this incident to cause a fight between Xu Guang and Chen Zisheng? But I – always worry about your safety.”

“Xiang Capsicum will be fine.” She raised a faint smile, “My lord, please believe me.”

The scenery around him flew past in front of his eyes, stores, pedestrians, trees, eaves …… everything became blurred, only the bright face of the fragrant capsule that glowed with radiance, but more and more clearly emerged in front of his eyes.

He should have believed her, she didn’t want him to know, and he knew she must have had a plan in mind.

But his thoughts were like a wild horse out of control, racing uncontrollably to the worst possible place.

He was self-mutilating, always uncontrollably envisioning the image of Xiang Capsicum falling in a pool of blood over and over again, his eyes gradually stained with some blood color.

Chen Zian steered his horse to Dengjie Lou, Dengjie Lou has been guarded by the government soldiers layer by layer, the scene is noisy, the periphery of the crowd do not know anything, only said what “the son of a murderer”, “dead” and so on.

Chen Zian could not enter the building, so he anxiously searched for familiar faces in the crowd, and finally saw some old friends of the yellow sheriff, and quickly stepped forward, anxiously said, “Huang head, this case also implicated in my brother, but also please take a look at it, I do not know that this dead, in the end, what kind of person– “

Sweat slid down Chen Zian’s forehead, moistening the hair on his temples and running down his cheeks.

Sheriff Huang stared blankly at Chen Zian’s leg, “Sir, your leg–“

Only then did Chen Zian look at his legs in hindsight, smiling nervously and helplessly, “Perhaps I was too distracted just now, and somehow managed to stand up.”

Huang sheriff looked at the sweat on his face, and then glanced at his legs, his heart was surprised: days old master, I did not think that this Chen family brothers two people actually have such a deep friendship not? It seems that those mansion secrets, but also just blackmail.

Looking at Chen Zian’s anxious expression, Sheriff Huang was about to reply when he suddenly heard a pretty voice calling from behind him:

“Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master he’s fine, the one who died in the building was Cai Die.”

He suddenly turned around, line of sight through the bustling crowd, fixed on that familiar graceful posture. Xiang Capsicum was standing there, although her face was slightly white, but she was unharmed.

At that moment, the surrounding noise suddenly fell silent, time stood still, everything in the world was turned into a blurred background color, only her existence, distinct and dazzling, became the only color in this bleak picture of vivid brightness.

After a brief moment of stillness, ecstasy swept away Chen Zian’s sanity in an instant, like a tidal wave breaking through a dike. No longer able to suppress his inner excitement, he took a few steps and ran to Xiang Capsicum, wanting to hold her tightly and check if she was injured.

“Second Young Master! There are too many people here, it’s not the place to talk yet!”

Lan called out sharply, stopping Chen Zian in his tracks and awakening some of his sanity.

The clamor around them resumed, and the bright colors on that scroll dimmed once more.

Chen Zian’s footsteps stayed in place, rubbing his hands together helplessly and smiling in a disguised manner, “Yes, yes, it’s good that there’s nothing wrong.”

Chen Zian lifted his eyes, looked at the intact Xiang Capsicum, but somehow, his voice choked up a bit: “If there is really something – Zian really do not know, after the rest of his life, how to be good.”

Who this is talking about, only the two men know in their hearts.
