Xiao Liulang's eyelashes quivered. Her lapel had wrinkled open at some point, revealing half of her delicate collarbone. His eyes only swept over it lightly, but he already felt a rush of blood on his head.
He was breathing heavily. contemporary romance
Gu Jiao pinched the lapel of his clothes with two fingers, closed her eyes and murmured, "Kiss."
"Kiss who?"
“JiaoJiao.”
"Who will kiss JiaoJiao?"
"Liulang, Liulang will kiss JiaoJiao."
Xiao Liulang took a deep breath again before raising his hand to cover her eyes that were about to open. When he leaned over and was about to touch her lips, he paused, tilted his head slightly, and planted a gentle kiss on the corner of her lips.
……
The news that Tang Ming's arm was cut off by Gu Changqing spread like wildfire in the capital. However, the abuse suffered by Tang Ming at night didn't get out, only that an assassin infiltrated the Supreme Commander Estate, and now all the streets and alleys were covered with the wanted posters issued by the court.
Unfortunately, the wanted poster didn’t even have a face, only the approximate height and figure of the other party, and was even reported as a man.
It was simply impossible to find the culprit with this.
After all, the assassin was a woman!
No one suspected that Gu Jiao was responsible. And of course, they didn't invite Gu Jiao to the Supreme Commander Estate again to treat Tang Ming who was badly injured for the second time.
It wasn’t surprising. After all, the place where Tang Ming was hurt this time wasn’t somewhere else, and some things just couldn’t be known to outsiders.
Tang Yueshan looked as if half of his life had been sucked away, and several strands of his hair had gone white in just one night.
It was already the next morning by the time the medical officers from the military camp finished treating Tang Ming's injuries. Tang Yueshan looked at Tang Ming, whose whole body was wrapped in bandages except for the stitched right arm, and the red veins within his eyes seemed about to burst.
"Don't worry Ming’er, I will find the assassin and avenge you!"
Tang Yueshan coldly declared, stroked Tang Ming's forehead fondly, and went to the military camp wearing a fierce look on his face.
After entering the military camp, he headed straight to the torture chamber.
He believed that what happened last night had something to do with Gu Changqing!
He was in a fit of anger at the moment, so much so that his anger drowned out his reason, forgetting that Gu Changqing's figure actually didn’t resemble that of the assassin.
The assassin's stature was smaller than Gu Changqing's. However, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that he was simply mistaken in his panic.
He kicked open the door of the torture chamber, grabbed Gu Changqing's lapel angrily, and pulled him up from the straw mat, "Was it you? Was it you last night?"
Gu Changqing wasn’t affected by Tang Yueshan's fury. He looked at him calmly and replied, "What does the commander mean by his question?"
Tang Yueshan responded with gnashed teeth, "Don't play dumb in front of this commander! It was you who broke into the Supreme Commander Estate last night and attacked Ming’er! It's not enough that you cut one of his arms... You even have to hurt him like that... Gu Changqing, you’re too vicious!"
Gu Changqing looked at him coldly and didn’t speak further.
As a matter of fact, there wasn't much animosity between Gu Changqing and Tang Yueshan. The hardships of the Gu Family Army was caused by their different factions. Whether the other party was Tang Yueshan or not really didn’t matter much. If the Gu Family Army had fallen into the hands of others, their situation might not necessarily be better.
However, there was an irreconcilable conflict between Gu Changqing and Tang Ming, and it was simply impossible for Tang Yueshan not to protect Tang Ming, so his falling out with Tang Yueshan was completely inevitable.
Since this was the case, there was no need to pretend to be polite.
The more indifferent Gu Changqing was, the more angry Tang Yueshan became, "You still refuse to admit it? Fine then, just don't blame this commander for being unkind! Somebody! Bring this commander the torture tools!"
"What is Lord Tang planning to do?"
Marquis Xuanping's voice slowly sounded outside the torture chamber.
He was someone who didn’t even go to the morning court, but he got up early today for Gu Changqing’s sake, except he was still really sleepy right now.
Marquis Xuanping yawned lazily, stood at the door and looked inside with sleepy eyes, "Doing such a cruel thing early in the morning isn’t really nice, don’t you think?"
Tang Yueshan looked at Marquis Xuan Ping with fire burning in his eyes, "Xiao Ji, you'd better stay out of this matter!"
Marquis Xuanping was so sleepy that he raised his sleeve and yawned again.
Even the yawning of a handsome man was pleasing to the eye.
He casually raised his eyes and glanced at Tang Yueshan, saying, "Unfortunately, this Marquis just loves to meddle in other people’s affairs, especially since you have become the National Supreme Commander and taken away this Marquis’s military power. No matter how this Marquis thinks about it, he feels a little unhappy in his heart. So you see, this Marquis has to interfere."
Tang Yueshan:“…”
Tang Yueshan held back his anger and said, "You think you can do anything? This commander is the National Supreme Commander personally appointed by the Empress Dowager. In military camps, there are only official positions, social status doesn’t matter here! This commander's official position is above yours. When is it your turn to intervene in this commander's affairs?!”
Marquis Xuanping was silent and seemed to be seriously thinking about Tang Yueshan's words.
"Hm."
He let out a sound, nodded his head, and gestured at Chang Jing to come with his finger.
Chang Jing went over and asked Marquis Xuanping, "Are we gonna fight?"
Marquis Xuanping frowned reproachfully, clicked his tongue at Chang Jing, and said disapprovingly, "Why does your head only think of fighting with people all day long? Who did you learn it from? Is that what this Marquis usually teaches you?"
He scolded him while his hand reached into Chang Jing's waist pocket, pulled out two marbles, and turned to Tang Yueshan, "Lord Tang, how about this Marquis make a bet with you? If you win, Commandant Gu is at your disposal. If you lose, you will no longer punish Commandant Gu."
Tang Yueshan sneered, "Heh, everyone knows you’re a scheming guy. Who’d want to bet with you?"
Marquis Xuanping let out a sigh, "Hey, how could you say that? You and I have at least known each other for so many years. We may not have any brotherhood between us, but we’re still comrades nonetheless. How could I cheat you? Fairness is definitely guaranteed. Unless you’re afraid to bet."
Tang Yueshan said in a cold voice, "Don't try to provoke me!"
Marquis Xuanping added, "Let’s add this Marquis’s identity to the stakes."
Tang Yueshan was stunned.
Marquis Xuanping looked at the marbles in his hand and smiled faintly, "If you lose, this Marquis, Xiao Ji, will no longer be a Marquis."
This was a great temptation.
Although he was now the National Supreme Commander, his standing in the capital was still inferior to that of Marquis Xuanping.
But if Marquis Xuanping was no longer Marquis Xuanping, would he still be qualified to compete with him, Tang Yueshan?
Marquis Xuanping said earnestly, "You have nothing to lose anyway, it’s stupid not to take up the bet, don’t you think?"
Tang Yueshan loosened his big fists and let go of Gu Changqing, "Fine, what kind of bet is it?"
