Chapter 258 He Shocked Me (1)
"Mr. Gu, can I call you Guiyan?" After the two of them walked into the woods, Tu Mingyuan took the initiative to speak.
Gu Chang nodded slightly. He didn't think this was a big deal. The name Gu Guiyan was fake anyway, so he could accept it as long as it wasn't too intimate.
"Then don't call me Your Highness, just call me Mingyuan." Tu Mingyuan said gently.
Gu Chang let out an "ah".
The system made two "tsk tsk" sounds, "We haven't even met a few times, and you're already calling us so intimate."
"I am afraid to address you as Your Highness." Gu Chang politely refused.
Tu Mingyuan didn't force him, and just smiled, "How is Guiyan's archery?"
Gu Chang shook his head honestly. Although the bow hanging behind his waist was not very heavy, Gu Chang knew that hiding one's shortcomings was the most important thing.
"In that case, let's go look for the golden-feathered arrow shot by our father. I saw clearly just now that the arrow went to the west. If we look in this direction, we will definitely find it." Tu Mingyuan said, not realizing that there was a protruding branch in front of him.
Just as Gu Chang was about to grab him, he saw that he had already bumped into the branch and fell to the ground due to inertia.
"Your Highness, let me see your wound." Hearing the sound just now, Gu Chang felt that Tu Mingyuan must be in great pain. He half-crouched down and hurried to help Tu Mingyuan. The moment his hand touched Tu Mingyuan, Gu Chang felt a familiar electric current rushing through his body, and before he could react, he felt a surge of energy.
A male voice suddenly rang out from the side, "A blind man shouldn't come to the Deer Hunting Festival. A bow and arrow is just a decoration to a blind man, hahahahahaha."
The person who was speaking was tall and strong, with regular features and gorgeous clothes. It was obvious at first glance that he was of extraordinary status.
There were other followers around this person, and they all echoed his words and laughed at Tu Mingyuan.
"How can you be disrespectful to the Seventh Prince?!" Gu Chang frowned and asked coldly.
"This gentleman is the son of a general! Liu Weisi! Where did you come from, you country bumpkin? How dare you speak to our Master Liu like that?!" Henchman A pointed at Gu Chang angrily.
Henchman B whispered in his ear, "He doesn't look like he's from the countryside. Did you say something wrong?"
Follower A, "..."
"Forget it, let's not bother with a blind man. Let's go." Liu Weisi raised his head, waved his hand, and left with a few followers.
Gu Chang pursed his lips. Now was not the time to conflict with these people.
"Gui Yan, thank you for speaking up for me." Tu Mingyuan's voice drew Gu Chang's attention back. "I'm fine. Let's rest here for a while and then we'll continue looking for the Golden Feather Arrow."
Tu Mingyuan raised his hand and touched the scratch on his forehead, and he hissed.
Gu Chang opened the medicine bag hanging on his waist and took out the medicine and gauze from it, "Your Highness, let me treat your wound."
On Tu Mingyuan's already fair face, a bright red scratch was particularly conspicuous.
"No need." Tu Mingyuan shook his head gently, "I can already feel that the injury is not serious. Guiyan, please help me up."
Gu Chang had no choice but to help the man up first. He put the medicine he had taken out back into the medicine bag. Now that Tu Mingyuan was unwilling to treat the wound, he couldn't force the medicine on him.
But what concerned Gu Chang more was the feeling that struck his soul.
Gu Changhe whispered to the system, "System, are you there?"
System: "Yes! I'm always waiting for your orders!"
Gu Chang: "I felt a familiar feeling when I was with Tu Mingyuan. He gave me an electric shock."
System: "Didn't you, the host, shock him?"
Gu Chang: "... This is not important. What is important is that in this world, my lover is Murong Heng. But I also have this familiar feeling with Tu Mingyuan. I now have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear, system?"
The system was a little confused, feeling that this line should be his, "Host, just say it directly. I can accept it."
Gu Chang: "Well, the good news is that I have two lovers in this world. The bad news is that they don't seem to have a good relationship."
The system scratched its head, "Host, how do you know they don't have a good relationship?"
Gu Chang said nonchalantly: "They are already enemies, how can the relationship be good?"
Gu Chang was chatting happily with the system and didn't notice that there was a hint of danger in Tu Mingyuan's eyes when he looked at him.
The two men walked eastward and pretended not to see the frightened spotted deer they saw along the way.
During this period, he also met other people, but fortunately he was conspicuous and was not mistaken for a spotted deer.
There's just someone always following them.
Gu Chang stopped, and Tu Mingyuan also stopped.
Gu Chang turned around and looked at the woman not far from them.
When the woman saw that Gu Chang had spotted her, she smiled shyly, then clutched the jade pendant hanging on her waist with both hands and whispered, "I... I am the general's daughter, Liu Shuran. To His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and to this young master, can I come hunting with you?"
Gu Chang first glanced at Tu Mingyuan, who had his eyes half-closed indifferently, obviously not wanting to speak.
"Ms. Liu, the number of contestants this time is even, so you should be able to find someone to team up with." Gu Chang smiled friendly.
Liu Shuran blinked, tears welling up in her eyes. "But... no one wants me. I'm just a concubine in the general's mansion. They all listen to my brother Liu Weisi and don't want to team up with me."
"It's okay. This forest is very big. Miss Liu, just follow us first. When the time is up, we can go out together." Tu Mingyuan suddenly spoke.
Gu Chang glanced at him. Now that the girl was about to cry, he knew to speak.
After Liu Shuran joined Gu Chang's team, she took the initiative to bring up the topic. However, when this question was asked, both Gu Chang and Tu Mingyuan fell silent.
"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, why do you want to team up with Master Gu?"
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, you have lived in the palace for a long time. I heard that His Majesty dislikes you. How can you still participate in the Deer Hunting Festival?"
"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, why don't you answer my question? Is there something I said wrong?"
Gu Chang: Your questions are so offensive, how can Tu Mingyuan answer them?
System: That’s right.
Tu Mingyuan's voice slowly rang out, "I heard that General Liu's daughter died of a serious illness several years ago. Coincidentally, she and Miss Liu have the same name. Both are called Liu Shuran. I'd like to ask, Miss Liu, who are you?"
Gu Chang: "Ah?"
System: “Ah????”
The originally blue sky was gradually covered by thick dark clouds, the warm sunlight was completely blocked, and the sky and the earth seemed to fall into darkness in an instant.
The strong wind began to howl and sweep across the earth. The branches swayed wildly in the wind and the leaves rustled, as if conveying the message of the coming storm to people.
The birds in the woods seemed to have noticed the change in weather long ago and flew back to their nests to avoid the coming wind and rain.
Everything around seemed exceptionally quiet, with only the sounds of the wind and the swaying trees constantly interweaving together, foreshadowing the approach of a violent thunderstorm.
This change came suddenly. Gu Chang looked at "Liu Shuran" who lowered her head. The other party was laughing softly at first, but then the laughter became louder and louder, and gradually became harsh and unpleasant.
"An unfavored prince actually knows so much. I underestimated you, Tu Mingyuan!"
A familiar cold fragrance wafted through the wind, and Gu Chang subconsciously called out a name, "Ling Xiaosu!"
