A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 106 Long time no see

Still in the dense forest at night, Zhao Changhe handed another wooden box to the ruffian.

"Boss Zhao, we've put in a lot of effort this time, shouldn't we give you a reward?" The ruffian opened the wooden box as usual and looked at the ten gold ingots in the box with some dissatisfaction.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You have to eat your meal one bite at a time." Zhao Changhe under the cloak said slowly and calmly.

The ruffian shrugged helplessly, put away the wooden box, turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, there is something that may interest Boss Zhao."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Changhe was silent for a moment, then took out two silver bills from his sleeve and asked.

"Li Yunye, the young master of a famous Li family in Jiangnan, has left Liangdu City and is now heading towards Mocheng. If there are no obstacles on his journey, he will arrive in the next two days." The ruffian took the banknote from Zhao Changhe's hand with a smile and said slowly.

"Li Yunye? When did he go to Liangdu?" Zhao Changhe asked in surprise.

"It was thanks to the portrait that Boss Zhao gave me that my brother was able to recognize Li Yunye in Liangdu City. As for when he went there, I don't know." The ruffian smelled the smell of the banknotes in his hand, greed flashed in his eyes, and continued to ask: "Does Boss Zhao want us to take action?"

"No need, I have to come in person for this person." Zhao Changhe refused decisively without thinking.

"It seems like there is indeed a deep-seated blood feud." The ruffian gave another nonchalant grin and turned away.

The next day, in the dilapidated temple outside Chaoyun City, Bai Wuchang, the third in command of Yanjiaopo, Zengsi, dressed as a scholar, stood in front of Yanyu, who was dressed in black, with his eyes lowered shyly. He did not dare to look directly at the beauty holding a long sword in front of him, but just stole glances at her from time to time.

"What's the important matter that brought Third Master down the mountain to see me so early?" Yan Yu asked calmly, still smiling and looking cold.

"I... I heard that... that young master from Jiangnan named... Li... is... coming to Mocheng... Zhao... Zhao Changhe proposed to... to my eldest brother last night that we should kidnap... kidnap that young master from Jiangnan named... Li..." Even if Huanyu just smiled calmly, Zeng Si's heart was fluttering. He didn't dare to say that he missed her very much since he hadn't seen her for several days. He held it in for a long time before he hurriedly lowered his head and stammered.

"What did you say? Li Yunye has left Liangdu." Before Zeng Si could finish his words, Xuanyu's face darkened and her brows furrowed.

"Yes... yes... I know you are now... dealing with... the famous Li from Jiangnan... I'm... worried... that Zhao... Zhao Changhe will act on his own... and disrupt your plans." Zeng Si saw that Yan Yu's face suddenly changed, and naturally thought that Zhao Changhe would not listen to the advice and wanted to disrupt her plans.

"Thank you, Third Command, for coming to tell me. I really didn't know about Mr. Zhao's actions. I wonder what the First Command and Second Command have decided?" Seeing that she almost revealed her thoughts in front of others in a panic, Huanyu quickly restrained her expression and asked Zeng Si with a fist salute.

"Big...big brother and second brother naturally won't...refuse business...what's more...he is the young master of the famous Li family in Jiangnan...but...but how can I do this to...you..." Zeng Si said with a bitter smile in embarrassment. He couldn't stop his big...brother, but he also didn't want him to ruin Yan Yu's plan, so he was in a dilemma.

"Don't worry, Third Master. Although Yanjiapo's involvement will indeed affect Xuanyu's plan, Xuanyu cannot break Yanjiapo's rules. I'm going to southern Xinjiang in the next few days. Please tell Mr. Zhao for me: you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

If Yan Jiapo insisted on interfering, it would not be convenient for her to step in to stop him. However, Yan Jiapo did not understand Zhao Changhe's hatred for the Li family. They just wanted to do business, but Zhao Changhe wanted Li Yunye's life.

Li Yunye's carriage rushed all the way to Mo City after leaving Liangdu City. He was extremely anxious and wanted to buy dyes in Xiyue Country as soon as possible. If the horse could bear it, he would have wanted to travel day and night.

"Sir, there seems to be a small town ahead. Why don't we rest there for a night? I think this horse can't take it anymore. Let's see if we can get another horse when we get to the town." The coachman sat in the front of the carriage and turned his head to look at the sunset that was about to set on the mountain. He saw that the horse in front of him was gradually slowing down its pace and breathing heavily, so he shouted worriedly into the carriage.

After three days of continuous travel with little rest time, Li Yunye was anxious as he sat in the carriage, but his body was about to fall apart from the shaking along the way. A person could still endure it, but a horse could not. It would be even more troublesome if the horse died of exhaustion in the middle of the road with no village in front and no shop behind. Thinking of this, Li Yunye had no choice but to agree.

After walking for about another half an hour, they finally entered a small town near Mo City. There were not many people in the town and the scenery was nice. The coachman smelled the aroma of wine from afar and his appetite became restless. If An Yun hadn't been urging him on, the carriage might have gone to the winery.

After settling down in an inn, the driver found an excuse to find a new horse to satisfy his drinking craving. The three of them were dressed simply and did not attract other people's attention. Li Yunye, who had not touched the ground for a long time, returned to the room and fell asleep on the bed, while An Yun first found a comfortable place for the horse to rest and fed it some good hay.

The window creaked, and Li Yunye, who had fallen asleep, vaguely smelled a familiar fragrance, but he was so sleepy that he just thought it was the scent of flowers in his dream.

Wearing black clothes and a mask and holding a long sword, Yan Yu slowly walked to the bed in the room. Looking at Li Yunye who was sleeping soundly, a gentle smile appeared in her eyes.

Several days of running around made him look haggard but more resolute. However, the hint of sadness between his brows made her heart sink. If he knew that it was her who dealt with the famous Li from Jiangnan, he would definitely be disappointed in herself.

"Who are you?"

Just when Huan Yu was in a mess, a middle-aged man with a smell of alcohol and a stubble on his face rushed into the room, shouting at Huan Yu and punching her.

The sudden brutal force made Huan Yu dodge repeatedly, but the space in the room was small and the opponent was more skilled than her, so she was forced to draw her sword soon.

"Old Zhou?" Li Yunye woke up with a start when the fight in the room was fierce. At first he was shocked to see the two people fighting in front of him, but when he saw that the middle-aged man was his coachman Old Zhou, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. It turned out that the coachman was a master.

"Sir, I saw this man sneaking around in your room. He must be trying to do something bad to you while you were sleeping. I'll catch him and give him a thorough interrogation!" The middle-aged man raised his fist to continue attacking Yan Yu while shouting to Li Yunye behind him.

Li Yunye stared blankly at the black-clad man fighting with Lao Zhou. He felt that his figure and features were somewhat familiar. He then looked closely at the pair of delicate hands and immediately called out in surprise and delight, "Yanyu?"

Li Yunye's call made Xuan Yu stop. Seeing this, the middle-aged man Lao Zhou also withdrew his hand and retreated to Li Yunye's side drunkenly, but his eyes remained alert.

Xuanyu put away her sword, took off the black cloth covering her face, and smiled at Li Yunye: "Long time no see, Master Li."
