Ye Zhen and the others were brought back to the carriage, but this was not their carriage but Mister Qiu's. Dai Mei and Quan Fu were taken to another carriage.
"Blindfold them." Mister Qiu did not say any superfluous words. After getting on the carriage, he immediately ordered the people around him.
Unlike the burly men just now, the guard beside Mister Qiu looked more powerful. He first sealed Huangfu Chen and Ye Zhen's acupoints before blindfolding them.
Ye Zhen's heart was beating like a drum. She didn't know where they would be taken and who they would meet. What made her even more confused was that no one knew that they had been captured. Even if Huang Fuchen knew martial arts, he would be useless in front of so many people. She felt that it would be useless no matter how strong he was.
These people … Who are they?
"Why are you going to the Gu Family Village?" Mister Qiu suddenly asked.
Ye Zhen pursed her lips and heard Huangfu Chen's cold and indifferent voice. "We happened to pass by."
Mister Qiu snorted softly. "If your medical skills are good, you may be able to leave alive."
"Are we safe and sound?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. Although the man called Mister Qiu looked very ordinary, his eyes were firm and cold. Even if they cured his master, they may not be able to leave in one piece. What?
"That depends on you." Mister Qiu said coldly.
Ye Zhen did not ask any more questions. She hoped that there was still a chance to escape. These people were not good people. If they could leave, she must tell Mo Rongzhan and let him investigate.
Thinking of Mo Rongzhan, Ye Zhen's heart shrank slightly. Her mind recalled the situation the night before yesterday. Her cheeks blushed unconsciously. Now that he knew that she was not in the capital, he must be very angry. However, he should not let people find her.
He was such a high and proud man. How could he allow her to refuse and escape again and again?
"Here they are. Let them come down." Mister Qiu's voice sounded from outside.
Ye Zhen subconsciously leaned towards Huangfu Chen.
"Don't worry." Huangfu Chen whispered in her ear.
"Mmm." Ye Zhen nodded gently. She was not afraid, she just felt a very uneasy omen about all this.
They walked blindfolded for a while before Mister Qiu asked someone to remove the black cloth from their eyes.
Ye Zhen rubbed her eyes to adjust to the brightness. Only then could she see everything in front of her clearly.
This is … a villa?
From where they were, they could see rows of roofs that rested on the mountains. The layout was exquisite and it occupied a large area. It looked like a temporary imperial residence. The villa was backed by the Twin Kings Peak, and there were tall mountains and forests on both sides. If they were to enter the mountains to search, they would not be able to find the location of the villa. ♀
In front of the villa was a large lake with rippling blue waves. If one wanted to go to the villa, they had to cross the lake by boat.
Ye Zhen's eyes were filled with surprise. She exchanged a glance with Huang Fuchen. She grew up in the Ye family and lived a life of luxury, but this was the first time she had seen such a large manor. Only after crossing the lake did she realize that the roof they had just seen was just a corner of the manor. In the jungle, there were many pavilions.
As they entered the manor, Ye Zhen could not hide the surprise in her eyes. The manor was surrounded by rolling hills and ravines. The walls and roofs here were mostly made of green bricks and grey tiles. The wooden pillars of the building were also made of logs. Everything looked elegant and dignified, simple and moderate.
The person who built this villa must have come from a very high family. Otherwise, how could he have such vision?
"Get in the carriage." Mister Qiu stopped again and let Ye Zhen and Huang Fuchen get in the carriage next to them.
After about half an hour, they finally stopped outside a courtyard. The layout of the courtyard was more like a southern garden. Dai Mei and Quan Fu were stopped outside, and only Ye Zhen and Huang Fuchen were brought in.
Ye Zhen looked up and saw a plaque in the garden with the words "Peach Blossom Spring" written on it.
This is the Peach Blossom Spring? How ironic!
Once Mister Qiu entered the Peach Blossom Spring, his whole aura changed. He became respectful and cautious. He saluted the man in the wheelchair in the courtyard pavilion. "Master, this subordinate has brought you two doctors. I heard that their medical skills are excellent."
When Ye Zhen heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched. When did they say that their medical skills were excellent?
The man in the wheelchair was dressed in a silver-white suit with several bamboos embroidered on his sleeves and robe. His black hair was tied up by a gold silk jade crown. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his feminine and handsome face carried a faint smile. His eyes fell on Ye Zhen and the others.
Seeing Mister Qiu's master, Ye Zhen was really taken aback. How could he be so young? He seems to be less than thirty years old.
"Since you are a doctor, then you are our guests. Please wash the disguise on your faces first." The man's voice was low and soft, but it made people feel a trace of coldness.
Ye Zhen was taken aback. He could actually see through her master's disguise technique. Was this man also proficient in disguise? She looked at Huang Fuchen and found that his eyes were a little strange. Did her master know this man in front of her?
"You are in disguise?" Mister Qiu pointed at Ye Zhen angrily. "Who are you?"
Ye Zhen felt that since her disguise was seen through, there was no need to control her voice anymore. "For the convenience of the road, I had to disguise myself. Who knew I would meet you?"
"Qiu Yuan, take them to the guest room and let them wash their faces before coming over." The man in white said lightly.
"Yes, Master." Qiu Yuan glared at the two of them coldly and personally took them to the guest room. He also asked the servants to watch them remove the disguise on their faces.
When Ye Zhen and Huang Fuchen reappeared in front of him, Qiu Yuan froze for a moment, especially when he saw Ye Zhen's beautiful face. Only then did he understand what the woman meant when she said that it was for the convenience of the road.
If they were seen outside, they would most likely be snatched back.
Huang Fuchen's imposing manner was reversed and he looked at Qiu Yuan coldly. "Why don't you lead the way?"
Qiu Yuan snorted coldly. He was wary of Huang Fuchen's noble temperament. I'm afraid that this pair of master and disciple has some background.
The man in white had returned to the house, and Qiu Yuan walked into the hall with Huang Fuchen.
A look of surprise flashed across the eyes of the man in white sitting in the middle when he saw them. In the end, his gaze slowly landed on Huangfu Chen's face, and he suddenly smiled. "Huangfu Chen, it's actually you."
Huang Fuchen took Ye Zhen's hand and sat down. It seemed that he had turned from guest to host. "Zhao Tianji, I didn't expect you to be alive."
Zhao Tianji smiled. "Where have you been these past few years?"
"Healing in seclusion." Huang Fuchen said faintly. "What do you plan to do now?"
