543 [Wall of Brotherhood]
Ye Qi's attitude towards him now is completely different from the past. Intimate actions between the two have long been commonplace. If Pei Yue wants to hold her hand or even hug her, it doesn't matter. Ye Qi will not do anything to him.
She has a very generous temperament, and she dared Pei Yue to call her Niangzi when they first met. This is something that neither Gu Zhen nor Lin Shuyue would do. But on the other hand, Ye Qi upholds a very conservative attitude.
Because of his habit, it was very difficult for Pei to go further if he wanted to, and he had not even kissed her on the cheek so far.
Today, the two of them first revisited their old place, and then Pei Yue confessed everything to her. It seemed that everything was done, and they were about to launch a fierce offensive of love talks, but then Ye Qi blocked her back with "Sister Zhen'er."
"Ahem, Ye Qi, sister Zhen'er is not here, why do you mention her..." Pei Yue said cautiously.
Ye Qi couldn't help laughing and said: "What about Sister Tilin?"
Pei Yue couldn't help but think of that night at Gulinyi. He was distracted for a moment and was about to climb up the pole when he suddenly heard a nervous voice coming from outside: "Master? Master?"
He immediately closed the cupboard door and said slightly angrily, "What's the matter?"
How could Deng Zai not know that he had violated a taboo, but thinking of Qi Min's frightened expression outside, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Master, Qi Min is here, he is outside. He said he has something important to report and cannot delay."
Pei Yue and Ye Qi looked at each other and then left quickly, not forgetting to close the iron door tightly.
"What happened?" Pei Yue asked as he walked.
Deng Zai shook his head: "My subordinates don't know, Qi Min refuses to tell."
The three of them came outside. Pei Yue saw Qi Min who was sweating profusely and said in a deep voice, "Why are you panicking?"
Qi Min swallowed his saliva and said: "Master, Master Gu and Miss Gu went to the Hou Mansion. He looked very angry and clamored to see the master. Miss Peach Blossom came out and said that the master was not at home. Master Gu almost attacked Peach Blossom. Fortunately, Gu
The lady stopped me."
Deng Zai and Wang Yong were stunned for a moment.
If Qi Min is talking about someone else, then they will definitely be extremely angry. As long as Pei Yue gives the order, even if the king of heaven bullies Taohua, they will dare to fight against him. But the person who almost took action was Gu Fan, and the whole thing was
It is absurd and bizarre. They were also participants in the night battle at Green Willow Village. They have watched from the sidelines for the past few years and are well aware of the relationship between Pei Yue and the Gu family, and they are even more aware of the brotherhood between Pei Yue and Gu Fan.
What's more, who doesn't know that Taohua is one of the people Pei Yue values the most. In name, she is a maid, but in fact, everyone in the Hou Mansion treats her as his wife.
Ye Qi was also a little surprised. She couldn't help but look at Pei Yue worriedly.
Pei Yue was not as furious as they imagined. He said very puzzledly: "Is Gu Fan's brain flooded?"
Let’s not talk about Gu Liang’s regard for him, nor the agreement between him and Gu Zhen. Just talk about the friendship between Gu Fan and him.
He has his own things in mind. Such a person will never turn against Pei Yue just because someone else instigates him.
Ye Qi thought of something and reminded him softly: "Could it be related to that girl Nanqin?"
Pei Yue's expression changed, and then he thought of a more troublesome possibility, and said to Wang Yong in a hurry: "You lock the gate here and let Geng Yi and the others guard Zhuangzi for the time being."
"Yes, young master." Wang Yong responded seriously.
"Go home!"
Pei Yue waved his hand, and then the group of people quickly came to the stable, jumped on the horse and galloped away.
Half an hour later, Pei Yue returned to the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion, glanced at the nervous second housekeeper Wang Mo who was guarding the gate, and asked, "Where is Gu Fan?"
Wang Mo bowed and replied: "Back to the Marquis, the young master of the Gu family is in the main hall of the front house."
Pei Yue handed the reins of his mount to the young man waiting next to him, and said quickly: "I won't see any visitors today, so please invite me back no matter who you are."
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Wang Mo replied respectfully.
Pei Yue and Ye Qi quickly walked in, followed closely by Deng Zai and Qi Min, while the rest of the soldiers went to the small courtyard to the east.
As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Pei Yue saw the livid-looking Gu Fan. He was about to ask for details when he heard a woman's scream in the hall.
"Master, be careful!"
"Fourth brother, stop!"
Gu Fan seemed unaware. After a few steps, his body rose into the air, like an eagle fighting a rabbit. He clenched his left hand into a fist and smashed it cleanly towards Pei Yue's face with the sound of howling wind.
Ye Qi's steps staggered and he stood in front of Pei Yue before he could make a move. He faced forward with his delicate fist without fear and exchanged a move with Gu Fan.
Gu Fan flew back like a swallow turning back and landed firmly on the ground.
Ye Qi took half a step back, and it was precisely because of this half step that her face became serious.
It wasn't that Gu Fan's skill surprised her, but that the opponent didn't hold back at all, and the punch hit Pei Yue without any regard for emotion.
Gu Fan's eyes were filled with a bit of venom, and he stared at Pei Yue across Ye Qi, and said in a cold voice: "Are you going to hide behind women for the rest of your life?"
"Fourth brother!" Gu Zhen stepped forward and shouted angrily with tears in her eyes.
Gu Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Little sister, this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't interfere!"
Taohua, Deng Zai and Qi Min didn't dare to show their anger.
Ye Qi's attitude towards Gu Fan was not very good, but after several years of contact, she was at least gentler than others. However, at this moment, she said with a frosty face: "You have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, Pei Yue."
You have only practiced for three years, so why are you so arrogant? If you want to fight, hurry up. If you are not satisfied with bare hands, you can use weapons. I will definitely not hold back today."
"Ye Qi, it's okay, let me come."
Pei Yue's calm voice came from behind.
Ye Qi turned around and looked at him in confusion.
Pei Yue said calmly: "He is not mentally normal right now, can't you tell? It doesn't matter, it's not that easy for him to beat me up."
Ye Qi glanced at Gu Fan coldly, then slowly stepped aside.
Pei Yue walked up to Gu Fan calmly, looked at the strange expression on his face, and asked calmly: "Did something happen to Miss Nanqin?"
Gu Fan kept clenching and unclenching his hands. On one side of his mind was the huge wave of anger, and on the other side was the brotherly love without any impurities between him and Pei Yue. It was very difficult for him to suppress his inner desire to take action.
Impulsively, he said word by word: "Don't you know?"
Pei Yue shook his head, looked at Gu Fan and said, "I don't know."
Gu Fan said angrily: "I told you before that she would never harm me and asked you not to interfere. She even begged you in a low voice. What did you say at that time? You promised me that you would never go.
Check her! The words are still ringing in my ears!”
Pei Yue frowned and said, "Let me ask you what happened?"
Gu Fan yelled: "Don't pretend to be stupid! Just because the second prince caused some trouble, you suspect that she has hidden evil intentions. Don't think that I can't see your thoughts. You were just trying to deal with me at the time, and then you took action when you found an opportunity.
For my own good
In the name of doing things that are worse than animals, right? Pei Yue, I treat you as a brother, but that doesn’t mean you can interfere in my personal affairs! Not to mention that Nan Qin is not a bad person, even if she really wants to harm me, it’s not the same as you
It doesn’t matter if you have half a penny!”
Ye Qihan said: "Gu Fan, keep your mouth clean!"
Gu Zhen said sadly: "Fourth brother, this matter must have nothing to do with Brother Pei. Don't blame a good person."
Pei Yue stared at Gu Fan with some disappointment and said: "If you want to do something, I will accompany you. If you want to curse, I will have someone make tea for you. Are you satisfied?"
Gu Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Hand over Nanqin."
Pei Yue tried his best to stay calm, shook his head and said: "I didn't send anyone to check Nanqin, let alone hurt her. Gu Fan, you and I have been brothers for many years, do you think I am such a shameless person?"
Gu Fan showed hesitation and said slowly: "I saw her last night. Nan Qin asked me to listen to her newly learned music today, but after I went there, I found that she and the personal maid were missing."
Pei Yue was shocked and frowned: "Didn't you send someone to protect her?"
Gu Fan said coldly: "They were all knocked unconscious. When I asked them, they didn't know anything. They only said that a group of masked masters suddenly appeared at dawn, and their attacks were extremely sophisticated and fierce. They couldn't resist them at all."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to drop to freezing point in an instant.
Pei Yue said seriously: "This matter has nothing to do with me. Even if we don't mention the brotherhood between you and me, Uncle Gu and Auntie treat me like a nephew, and I have a lifelong agreement with Sister Zhen'er. How can I
Maybe you can attack the person in your room? Can you use your brain a little and not be so impulsive when things happen? It's nothing for you to attack me today. After all, brothers also have conflicts when they have a fight and then sit down to drink.
We will still be brothers after that."
The anger on Gu Fan's face faded little by little.
Pei Yue continued: "But how can you do something to Taohua? How much did she respect you at Green Willow Manor? Are you obsessed with lard? If Uncle Gu knew about this, believe it or not he would
Break one of your legs?"
Gu Fan muttered: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I take action against Taohua? I will never bully the weak in my life, let alone she is your maid!"
Pei Yue turned to look at Qi Min.
Qi Min shrank his neck and whispered: "Master, I heard the people inside say so."
Gu Zhen quickly explained: "Brother Pei, there is some misunderstanding here. The fourth brother was very excited at the time, so he spoke louder, but he really did not bully Taohua."
Taohua also nodded and said: "Master, Master Gu just spoke a little fiercely and kept asking where you are."
Pei Yue exhaled a breath and said angrily: "Can you calm down a little now?"
Gu Fan asked angrily: "You are the only one who has ever doubted Nan Qin. If not you, who would do such a thing in Kyoto?"
Pei Yue glared at him, walked to the side and sat down, saying coldly: "Sit down and tell me, I almost made you mad to death."
Gu Zhen quickly stepped forward, pulled Gu Fan to sit across from him, and persuaded: "Fourth brother, I know you are anxious, but if you think about it carefully, what kind of person is Brother Pei? How could he do such a thing?
"
Gu Fan originally wanted to retort, but after seeing the tears on his sister's face, he couldn't say those words. He could only frown and said: "Her life or death is uncertain now, how can I not be anxious?"
