Chapter 320: Warmth Beneath the Bed (1)
Her words finally helped Jin Yun calm his breath, and his eyes had also gradually steadied.
That’s right, if he doesn’t succeed, then would he have done all that for? That would be the significance of all his hard work and dedication?
He put down the jade pillow and asked in a cold voice, “Then, what plans do you have for him?”
Gong Yimo breathed a sigh of relief and looked proud.
“Did he tell you anything earlier?”
Time was tight, so Gong Yimo went straight to the point. Jin Yun sighed.
Suddenly, he said through his gritted teeth, “He told me that I was exchanged by that man for a thousand horses!”
Right now, he was not even willing to call that man his father. Towards that man, he felt nothing but disgust.
Meanwhile, his words caused Gong Yimo to ponder. She looked coldly at the messy-clothed blockhead in front of her and revealed a cold glint.
Lu Cha was disliked by the king of Louye for his hobbies, everyone knew this. However, this person had the ability and the tricks, as well as being loyal, so Louye’s king had always trusted him very much. For him to show such disgust on the surface was only to mislead the public.
Gong Yimo reached out to pull off the pendant at his neck. This was something all the people with notable positions in Louye held. Not only did it symbolize their identity, it can also be used to order their subordinates, so it was also called the order token. Seeing the token was no different from seeing the person himself.
She told Jin Yun this as she looked at the small letters written on it.
“I killed the four guards outside, and they also revealed that Lu Cha had many guards around him. They will take turns to guard him. In a while, people who will come to take over will arrive. They will definitely ask if they come and do not see the ones who were on duty. Then, you come out, use this order token and tell them to do something.”
“Do what?” Jin Yun did not ask why she was asking him to do such a stupid thing. He believed in Gong Yimo. Everything she did has its reasons.
Gong Yimo smiled. “Don’t blame me for this, You are the man their lord favors. If he can’t show his face, then only you can.”
“As for what you should tell them…Tell them to look for Yuheng’s emperors and tell them that the horse deal is null and void! Remember, they can only tell Jin Sheng. If he can’t figure it out, he will get angry and come looking for Louye’s duke for trouble. When that time comes, you’ll be able to catch him!”
Jin Yun nodded and took the token.
At this moment, he felt a chill at his back.
He was too agitated earlier, so he didn’t notice that Yuheng’s winters were even colder than in Dayu, even the earthworms did not appear above ground. It was no surprise that he would feel cold, being in the nude and all.
Meanwhile, it was like Gong Yimo didn’t realize he was naked at all. While perking up her ears, listening for the next batch of guards, she was sneakily eyeing the man on the bed on the other hand, a nasty glint emerging in her eyes.
A thousand horses was no small number. It had to be known that the millions of soldiers people brought up in the past were all just talk, the real numbers did not go up that high. Moreover, Louye’s bred horses were well watched over. So, this deal could not possibly go through without going past the king. Who knows what Louye’s king was up to?
When she thought of that domineering and ambitious man, Gong Yimo shook her head. But then, she saw Jin Yun looking still at her as if he did not know how he should speak.
“What’s wrong?”
Jin Yun pulled up his blanket, not understanding why he, as a twenty-year-old man who often brought himself to places of pleasure and entertainment, would actually feel uncomfortable in front of a girl.
It felt like his body was being burned when her gaze landed on him.
“I…don’t have clothes here, how am I going to go out later?”
Gong Yimo asserted matter-of-factly, “The only way you’re not going to arouse anyone’s suspicion is if you’re unclothed, you know? Just wear this out later!”
While saying that, she pulled off the silk sheets from the bed and threw them on him.
But looking at him like this, she felt that this was a bit wrong.
When he goes out later and Lu Cha’s men find no traces on his body, he would not look as if he was being favored by him at all. Their lord was an aggressive man, how could he be so gentle with him?
