Chapter 772 [Under the Brocade 68]
Yuan Jinxia and Xie Xiao searched for a whole day, but still could not find Shangguan Xi's trace. At this time, Yang Chengwan hurried over with Uncle Gai and Lin Ling.
When they heard that Yang Yue had fallen off a cliff and was still missing, Yang Cheng was immediately anxious and his face turned pale. Seeing this, Yuan Jinxia and Xie Xiao rushed forward to comfort him and tried to calm him down.
Xie Xiao quickly passed the news to Shangguan Xi, and told her that he had deployed many people to conduct a search in the surrounding area. After hearing this, Shangguan Xi's originally restless heart finally calmed down a little, and finally agreed to continue the search tomorrow.
Yuan Jinxia's brows were furrowed at the moment, and her face was full of worry. She knew that although Yang Chengwan said it was calm on the surface, he was actually worried about Yang Yue's safety.
Yuan Jinxia has always been very confident in her tracking skills, and even boasted that she has superb skills. However, facing Yang Yue's sudden disappearance, she felt overwhelmed, as if all her previous pride and arrogance were shattered at this moment.
Youyou, who was standing by, comforted him softly, "Don't worry, Yang Yue will surely be able to turn the tide and return safely."
"Having said that, I'm still very scared in my heart, Sister Youyou! Alas... I really don't know what to do." Yuan Jinxia couldn't help but feel annoyed, secretly regretting why she didn't practice the tracking technique to the highest level. Otherwise, how could she be so helpless and frustrated like now?
Shangguan Xi took a deep look at the order in his hand that symbolized the power of the Lord of Suzaku Hall, and then handed it to Xie Xiao without hesitation.
This hall master's order originally belonged to Xie Xiao, but after many twists and turns, Shangguan Xi suddenly realized it - it turned out that, without realizing it, she had already gotten used to the days of having Yang Yue by her side.
Now, she decided to put everything here aside and embark on a journey to find Yang Yue. As for the Wuan Gang, she entrusted it entirely to Xie Xiao.
However, facing such an important task, Xie Xiao looked embarrassed and had no intention of taking over. Seeing him like this, Shangguan Xi couldn't help but feel angry: Perhaps it was because of her over-pampering and tolerance towards him in the past that Xie Xiao became so irresponsible!
Shangguan Xi suppressed his dissatisfaction and once again stuffed the Hall Master Order into Xie Xiao's hands, and solemnly warned him: "From now on, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles you encounter in handling the affairs of the gang, you must shoulder this responsibility!"
After that, she resolutely turned around and left, walking in the direction she had chosen without looking back. At this moment, although she looked strong on the outside, her heart was actually a mess, and she seemed to have lost her soul, wandering aimlessly in the bustling streets.
At this moment, a speeding carriage suddenly rushed towards Shangguan Xi. At the critical moment, a figure wearing a bamboo hat quickly flashed to her side and pulled her to a safe area.
Shangguan Xi took a closer look and instantly recognized that the person in front of her was Yang Yue, whom she had been looking for for a long time! But before she could say anything, Yang Yue disappeared into the crowd like a ghost without saying a word.
Shangguan Xi was extremely anxious and looked everywhere for Yang Yue's trace, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not find any trace of Yang Yue...
Shangguan Xi was acutely aware of a looming presence following closely behind her, like a ghost. She was startled and wondered who dared to follow her so boldly.
Shangguan Xi continued to move forward calmly, seemingly unaware, but her footsteps quietly changed direction and walked towards a secluded and deep alley. When she stepped into the depths of the alley, she suddenly turned around, her figure was as fast as a ghost, and she instantly took action to firmly control the followers.
The hostages panicked and begged for mercy: "Lady, spare us! We are also following orders. It was Boss Mao who ordered us to arrest you!" Shangguan Xi frowned slightly, wondering why Boss Mao wanted to attack him. But the most important thing at the moment was to figure out the situation first.
At this time, Shangguan Xi came up with a plan. She decided to pretend to be obedient and follow the group back to see if she could lead out the mysterious figure who had been hiding in the dark - Yang Yue. Sure enough, on the way back, Yang Yue finally couldn't hold back and showed up again to save Shangguan Xi who was imprisoned.
However, although Yang Yue successfully rescued Shangguan Xi, he still stubbornly refused to admit his true identity. Shangguan Xi naturally would not let this opportunity go easily. She quickly tore off the bamboo hat on Yang Yue's head. In an instant, Yang Yue's once familiar and handsome face appeared in front of her, but now there was a shocking scar, which made him look a little hideous and scary.
Looking at the scar on Yang Yue's face, Shangguan Xi's heart suddenly clenched, but she quickly regained her composure. For her, appearance has never been the criterion for measuring a person. What really matters is whether the burning heart is still the same as before.
Shangguan Xi took a step forward without hesitation, hugged Yang Yue tightly, and whispered: "No matter what you become, I don't care, as long as you can come back alive." Feeling Shangguan Xi's warm embrace, Yang Yue couldn't help but tremble slightly. He slowly raised his hands, wanting to respond to this deep affection, but in the end he hesitated, and the outstretched hand fell down weakly.
At this time, there was an urgent shout from a distance. It turned out that Yang Chengwan came to greet his son with joy after learning that he had returned safely.
Yuan Jinxia, Uncle Gai, Lin Ling, Youyou and Lu Yi also hurried over. After Lin Ling carefully felt Yang Yue's pulse and diagnosed him, she told him solemnly that due to the serious injury, his internal organs were severely damaged and he had to rest for a period of time before he could recover.
Yang Yue was always thinking about whether his damaged face could be restored to its original state. Just when he wanted to ask Lin Ling, he was suddenly grabbed by Shangguan Xi and forcibly taken back to the room to rest. Yang Yue looked helpless, but he also knew that this was not the time to ask more questions, so he secretly decided to wait for the next opportunity to ask Lin Ling this question.
On the other hand, Lu Yi, who was far away in the capital, got the news that the incident at the hairpin flower contest had spread widely, and even the ministers in the court knew about it. These ministers wrote memorials one after another, strongly demanding that Wu Shouxu be severely punished. Lu Yi knew that among the many people who submitted memorials, there must be people planted by Yan Shifan who fanned the flames and added fuel to the fire.
In fact, there are many unknown inside stories behind the rumor that Wu Shouxu did not keep his promise to lure Wang Zhi ashore. It turned out that when Wang Zhi stepped ashore, Wu Shouxu immediately petitioned to spare Wang Zhi's life. However, unexpectedly, this petition not only did not play any role, but also led to Wu Shouxu being impeached by others, accusing him of harboring the Japanese pirates. Under such tremendous pressure, Wu Shouxu had no choice but to temporarily detain Wang Zhi.
At this time, someone came to invite Lu Yi to Wu Shouxu's place for a chat. After hearing this, Youyou couldn't help but feel worried. She knew that Wu Shouxu had a deep friendship with Yan Song's adopted son Liao, and this trip might bring Lu Yi a lot of danger. Therefore, Youyou insisted on going with Lu Yi.
However, Lu Yi's mind was clear as a mirror. He knew clearly that Yan Shifan would not let Lord Liao off easily because of the previous incident with the Hundred Flowers Wine. Wu Shouxu must have also noticed this, so he was so eager to find a new backer.
