Chapter 636 Entering the city.
Chapter 636 Entering the city.
The two big guys had been walking for most of the day and were extremely tired. They didn't want to move anymore, so they stayed in the camp obediently.
The guards fed them food, and they ate with gusto, which showed how much energy they had consumed today.
Seeing them like this, Si He felt helpless and thought that she should take them out less often in the future. It was indeed a bit of suffering for them. Although she asked the team to slow down the pace, the journey was still quite long.
After settling the two big guys, Si He got back on the carriage and headed towards the city.
Qing'an City, a prosperous city, is second only to the provincial capital Guang'an City in Zhongzhou.
The city was very close to the camp, and the carriage arrived at the city gate in a short while.
Now the city has been occupied by the Yue army, and the guards at the city gate have been replaced. The entire city is now under martial law, and the official roads are empty with no pedestrians.
The convoy was particularly conspicuous when it arrived. However, the flag of the Yue Army was hung in front of the team, and the guards leading the team were all familiar faces. So the soldiers guarding the city gate knew who the visitors were as soon as they saw them, and they saluted respectfully immediately. After learning the reason for entering the city, they immediately led the way.
The roads in the city are wide, but apart from the Yue army patrolling the streets, no one is seen walking on the streets. The shops and houses on both sides of the streets have their doors closed, and the atmosphere of tension is everywhere.
Since this place is now in a state of quitting smoking, the whole city is silent, like a dead city. Only the occasional barking of dogs can add some life to these dead houses.
This situation will not last long. Martial law will only be lifted after the Yue army has completely taken over the city and dealt with all matters.
The convoy passed slowly on the wide street. Si He raised her hand, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked at the situation outside through the thin cloth.
Looking at this dead silent city, I feel a little uncomfortable.
After a while, she lowered the curtain and leaned lazily on the cushion.
The journey was smooth, and soon the carriage arrived in front of a government office, where Yue Fuli was now handling business.
After the carriage stopped, Gao Zi helped Si He get off the carriage.
Although her vision was unobstructed, she had to pretend not to see because of the bandage on her eyes.
Seeing this, the guards outside the government office saluted one after another, a little surprised in their hearts, thinking that her eyes were injured, but they all lowered their heads silently without showing any abnormality.
With Gao Zi's support, Si He walked towards the government office step by step.
There were many water stains on the ground along the way, and it was wet, obviously having been washed not long ago. There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Si He remained calm and when he walked to the front hall, he vaguely heard the sounds of conversation and discussion coming from inside.
She paused, thought for a moment, and decided not to disturb them for the time being, so she asked Gaozi to help her sit in the corridor not far away.
It was almost evening, and the autumn wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the coldness was getting more and more intense. The gusts of cool wind blew up and down the hem of Si He's clothes, and messed up her hair.
Feeling the cold, Si He felt that the fatigue in her body seemed to have faded a little, and she felt a little more energetic.
Originally, she thought it would take some time for them to reach an agreement, but after a while, someone came out of the conference hall.
After they came out, they noticed someone sitting in the corridor in the distance. Although they only saw her back, they knew her identity from the guards beside her. However, they only took a glance and then silently looked away without coming over to disturb her.
Silence returned to the conference hall. Si He stood up and was about to walk over there when Yue Fuli came out.
He saw a band of cloth tied around her eyes and couldn't help but frown, then walked over here.
Si He looked at Yue Fuli through the cloth and smiled. When he came closer, she called him, "Husband."
People who practice martial arts have better hearing. Outsiders only thought that she made the judgment based on the sound of Yue Fuli's footsteps, but did not doubt that her eyes could still see things clearly.
Yue Fuli stopped in front of her, looked at the bandage on her eyes, and asked, "Your eyes?"
His expression was somewhat serious, and he looked at her seriously.
Si He smiled and said, "It's just an old problem. It will be fine in a few days."
She spoke lightly and with a smile on her face, as if she didn't care at all.
"Is my husband done with his work?"
Seeing Yue Fuli's serious gaze, Si He changed the subject and closed her eyes, no longer looking at him, for fear that he would notice something unusual. After all, the distance was too close and the feeling of being peeped would be very obvious.
"Yeah." Yue Fuli responded, and his eyes slowly moved down from the cloth on her eyes, noticing the light makeup deliberately added on her cheeks and the light lipstick on her lips.
In fact, her makeup today was quite elegant, and the added touch of light bright color was also very beautiful, but she had rarely worn makeup in recent times, and basically looked without any makeup, so in Yue Fuli's opinion, it was a bit abrupt, especially after she tied the cloth band around her eyes, the makeup looked more like a disguise.
Her condition reminded him of what happened in Lianyun Mountain before.
"Husband, it's almost time for dinner. Shall we eat first?"
Hearing her say this, Yue Fuli didn't ask any more questions. Besides, this wasn't the place to ask questions. "Okay."
After saying that, he replaced Gao Zi's position, took Si He's hand, and walked towards the guest room on the side.
Si He held his broad palm, and the curve of her lips deepened.
When she entered the guest room, the guards were standing guard outside while Gao Zi went to prepare meals. Only she and Yue Fuli were left in the room.
She was about to ask about Yue Fuli's recent situation, but at this moment, he suddenly reached out and untied the bandage on her eyes. As he did so, he asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?"
The bandages were untied, revealing her tightly closed eyes. It seemed that there was nothing unusual about her eyes. They did not look like those that had been injured, and there was not a trace of redness or swelling.
The white cloth belt did not have any medicinal smell, it was just an ordinary belt.
When the cloth belt was untied, a trace of panic subconsciously flashed across Si He's face. Although her eyes were closed, Yue Fuli did not see the strangeness in her eyes.
The next moment, she threw herself into Yue Fuli's arms, buried her face in his chest, and said, "It's just an old problem. My eyes feel a little uncomfortable, but it's nothing serious. It will be better in a few days."
Yue Fuli heard her speaking in a muffled tone and could clearly feel her nervousness, but she hugged him tightly and was unwilling to tell the truth, which made him feel helpless.
He raised his hand, gently stroked her back, and said, "Is it because of the murder weapon?"
In fact, this is not difficult to guess. Based on her previous situation in Lianyun Mountain and what happened recently, she felt unwell after using the murder weapon, so her eyes may also be in this condition.
