Chapter 166 Two People Fall into the Water
Gu Junqing thought so, but Ji Rang always felt that what the emperor had just said was really heart-wrenching.
But looking at Qi Yunjin's delicate and beautiful profile, Ji Rang silently comforted herself in her heart, maybe she was wrong.
Just as the three of them were about to go to the left side of the pond, a man suddenly ran over from a distance. He was wearing a simple gray coat, seven feet tall, and had an ordinary and plain face. Gu Junqing happened to have seen this man before. He was Yu Ping, the guard beside Ji Rang.
Yu Ping had known that his master was with Gu Jun and the emperor, so when he saw them, he remembered to salute them. He did not avoid any other taboos and said in front of the three people that the girl who was sitting behind Ji Rang wanted to see him for something important. Ji Rang actually wanted to refuse to meet him, but the emperor, who was not interested in such things, said to him that it was okay to meet him.
The emperor has spoken, so how can Ji Rang, as a subject, disobey?
Ji Rang followed Yu Ping away, and now only Gu Junqing and Qi Yunjin were left here.
Gu Junqing looked at Ji Rang's departing back. For some reason, she could actually see a bit of anger in his back, but she didn't know what he was angry about.
"looking at what?"
Qi Yunjin asked again.
Gu Junqing shook his head: "Nothing"
The two of them walked to the small pavilion in the center of the pond.
Today is a lotus viewing banquet, so Duke Shen had already ordered people to place various foods, wine and tea in the pavilions of the Shen Mansion, just for the ministers or other women passing through to take a break. Of course, every hour someone would remove the tea, wine, cakes and the like and replace them with new ones.
But it's useless to change it, as almost no one here would touch the food and drinks in the pavilion.
This pavilion is quite unique. It was built by Duke Shen in the middle of the water. As long as you get close to the edge and lower your head, you can see the clear green water below. If you look closely, you can actually see the shadows of fish and shrimps in the water. They hide among the daffodils and water plants growing in the pond.
Gu Junqing walked to the edge, leaned on the railing with his hands, and looked at the scene in the pool with a rare relaxed and leisurely look.
Qi Yunjin stood beside Gu Junqing and saw that she was staring at something in the water. He followed her line of sight and looked underwater.
Just like that, ordinary and simple.
Qi Yunjin thought to himself.
After staring at the underwater for a while, he unknowingly had his eyes fixed on Gu Junqing's delicate and soft profile. From his point of view,
Having fought in battles for many years, the ruthlessness of war did not seem to have left any trace on her face. She had fair skin, a tall and heroic nose, long black and curled eyelashes, and her lips, which were usually pursed, were now relaxed. The corners of her lips were naturally raised slightly, and if you looked closely, you could see that she was smiling even without raising her lips.
He stared at her for so long that he accidentally lost his mind and soul.
Qi Yunjin didn't look away until Gu Junqing turned around and looked at him in confusion. However, an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart and he looked a little absent-minded.
He once again focused his gaze on the underwater location, where the fish and shrimp were swimming happily.
In fact, it is still good looking.
Qi Yunjin thought again.
Gu Junqing had no idea what Qi Yunjin was thinking, but when he saw him looking at him with such a deep and profound gaze, Gu Junqing's hair stood on end subconsciously. He always felt that the emperor was thinking of something like assassination in his mind.
Both of them were thinking about something, so they didn't talk much. They just stood there quietly admiring the flowers.
Above the beautiful lotus in the center of the pond stood a bright red dragonfly, its wings fluttering, with a faint scent of wind.
However, this rare leisurely and relaxing scene did not last for half an incense stick of time, because in the next moment, the powerful arrow that had been piercing the sky suddenly shot towards the two of them, filled with murderous intent!
In the Shen Mansion, someone actually wants them dead!
Gu Junqing and Qi Yunjin looked at each other quickly, and saw sharp and vigilant looks in each other's eyes. They dodged to the left and right respectively, and the long arrow passed between the two of them and fell straight into the water, disappearing without a trace.
As the long arrow fell into the water, there was a little splash, but the sound was not loud and the lingering sound gradually faded away. However, in the next second, a splash that was bigger and louder than before suddenly sounded.
Qi Yunjin was startled and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where Gu Junqing was standing. However, the figure who was supposed to be standing on his right side disappeared. He reacted and quickly took a few steps to the right. Sure enough, Gu Junqing was trying to dodge the long arrow. Perhaps because he dodged too quickly and failed to brake, he fell directly into the water!
Seeing Gu Junqing still struggling underwater, Qi Yunjin jumped into the water without thinking, then swam over and hugged Gu Junqing in his arms. He didn't have time to pay attention to Gu Junqing's shocked and stunned expression, but in his heart he couldn't help thinking that General Gu really wasn't like a man, his body was so delicate and soft.
Qi Yunjin didn't know what he touched, he just felt as if his palm had touched a pile of warm cotton, which was soft and felt very good.
Of course, this thought only lasted for a moment, and Qi Yunjin quickly came to his senses.
He originally wanted to send the people ashore, but he didn't expect that the arrow just now was just an appetizer. It seemed that he saw the two of them diving in the water, so he shot a continuous rain of arrows directly into the water.
The two were shocked. Gu Junqing, who had wanted to tell the emperor that she could swim, was now completely submerged in water and unable to speak. At this critical moment, Gu Junqing didn't care about the relationship between the emperor and his subjects. She patted Qi Yunjin's shoulder, signaling the emperor to put her down. However, Qi Yunjin misunderstood her meaning.
The two of them hid their bodies underwater at this moment in order to avoid the rain of arrows.
I don’t know what happened to the people around them. No one noticed the situation here. Since no one noticed, they couldn’t rashly stick their heads out of the water for the time being.
Submerged in the water, with no air underwater, the two of them held their breath and swam in the water. Gu Junqing was forced to bury himself in Qi Yunjin's arms, unable to move.
Feeling someone tapping his shoulder, Qi Yunjin blinked slowly in the water, thinking that Gu Junqing was having a stitch in the side because he couldn't breathe. Qi Yunjin paused slightly and looked at Gu Junqing who was trying to struggle in his arms. From his direction, he could actually see a whorl of hair on Gu Junqing's head.
After hesitating for a moment, Qi Yunjin suddenly reached out and pinched the chin of Gu Junqing, who had buried his face in his arms.
The two looked at each other face to face in the water.
Gu Junqing's eyes were filled with confusion, while Qi Yunjin's eyes were filled with depth.
