Chapter 215 Already Recognized
Gu Yi seemed to have guessed what she was going to do, and raised his hand to pinch her chin.
"Gu Yi, stop!" A shout came from not far away.
The two of them turned around at the same time and met Gu Xiyan's cold gaze.
Yao Jia's heart tightened and she turned around and wanted to run.
Gu Yi would never give her a chance to escape. He grabbed her arm and pulled her in front of Gu Xiyan.
"Sir, look, I'm not mistaken, she is Pavilion Master Nangong!"
Gu Xiyan stared at Yao Jia for a moment, then turned his face away.
"Pavilion Master Nangong is of noble status, why would he come to the border where war is raging?"
After saying this, he closed his eyes and said, "Okay, let's go back."
He took the lead and walked towards the military camp.
Gu Yi wanted to say something, but seeing his master's lonely back, he finally closed his mouth, glared at Yao Jia fiercely, and let go of her hand in dismay.
Although Yao Jia was puzzled as to why Gu Xiyan did not recognize her, she felt relieved when she looked down and saw that she was dressed in shabby clothes.
She had some understanding of Gu Xiyan, who was extremely obsessed with looks. With her current personality, even if she had a pretty face, clothes would always be the deciding factor, so it was normal that she couldn't recognize her.
Since he wasn't recognized, his life wasn't in danger.
He followed the two of them happily.
These days, Yao Jia no longer thought about escaping. He stayed in the military camp and waited for the army to arrive with food and fodder.
Although Gu Xiyan had already said that she was not Pavilion Master Nangong, Yao Jia did not dare to take it lightly. She scraped some soot from the kitchen in the military camp and painted her face dark.
Whenever he came out of the tent with a Bao Zheng face, Gu Yi would laugh at him with words like "a waste of effort", "here is a cover-up", and "you have nothing to do".
Yao Jia responded with ease with a question like "Is it your business?"
Gu Xiyan stood not far away and watched coldly.
When Yao Jia caught a glimpse of him, she immediately shrank back into the tent.
After a while, thinking that Gu Xiyan had left, he lifted the curtain and came out again.
In the clothes drying yard in the distance, camp prostitutes were hanging the soldiers' clothes on ropes. In order to maintain her image as a young widow, Yao Jia walked over and took the initiative to help with the work.
In the main camp, Qu Mu looked at Gu Xiyan who was standing at the curtain of the tent, looking out.
I walked over and looked into the distance following his gaze, and saw a group of women playing in the clothes drying yard in the distance.
With a shrewd smile on his lips, he was sure that Gu Xiyan was thinking about women. He had been in the military camp for so long, but he had never seen him touch a woman.
"Why, if you can't help it, I'll have Jiang Zhou pick out a skilled worker for you and send him to your tent."
Gu Xiyan quickly retracted his gaze and said coldly, "No need."
Qu Mu snorted coldly, turned around and sat back in the main seat, not believing his nonsense at all. All men have needs, not to mention that he was only in his early twenties, full of vigor and energy, with nowhere to vent.
"No? But you are fascinated by the woman who claims to be Wei Liang's widow?"
After Qu Mu came back, he discovered that Gu Xiyan would observe the woman whenever he had time. Although the woman was dark, her facial features were delicate. Judging from her personality, she was smart and cute.
Gu Xiyan's face looked a little ugly and he didn't want to continue this topic.
"I'm not interested in her."
Qu Mu smiled, "Since you are not interested in her, then talk about something you are interested in."
Gu Xiyan turned around, "What's the matter?"
"I have asked someone to investigate. Wei Liang likes men. He fought with you that day because his lover was shot and killed by the enemy. He risked his life to seek revenge. This woman is full of lies. She must be..."
"She is not Wei Liang's fiancée." Gu Xiyan interrupted him.
Qu Mu frowned and looked at him, waiting for him to explain to him why he knew it but did not take any action.
"She is...she is me..." Gu Xiyan paused and spoke slowly, "She is Nangong Jiayao."
"Nangong Jiayao?" Qu Mu pondered the name carefully, then he remembered that she was the current leader of Tianxing Pavilion, whom Gu Xiyan was engaged to.
He was immediately surprised. "Shouldn't she be in Kyoto right now? How could she be here? If someone of this status appeared at the border, it would definitely cause a big uproar, but there is no news from Kyoto at all."
Gu Xiyan explained: "Jia Jia is a lively and playful person, so we have a substitute at home."
Qu Mu naturally knew that noble families would always have some substitutes on hand, let alone a valuable person like Nangong Jiayao.
"In that case, we shouldn't let her out alone."
Qu Mu thought this was too strange, but then he thought, could that girl be here to look for Gu Xiyan?
"A woman came here from afar alone. What do you think she wants to do?"
Gu Xiyan was also puzzled. In the past, when he saw Yao Jia, she was either followed by a shadow guard or accompanied by Lang Yue. At worst, she would be guarded by a pretty boy who knew no martial arts. Why did she appear here alone?
Qu Mu looked at Gu Xiyan with a gossipy look on his face and asked with a smile: "Did she come to look for you?"
Gu Xiyan shook his head subconsciously when he heard this.
Qu Mu didn't believe it. "A woman came all the way here, not to look for her lover, but to seek death?"
Gu Xiyan smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't even dare to dream about the possibility that Yao Jia would come to find him, let alone think about it.
In the past few days, Yao Jia hid whenever she saw him. Wherever he was, she would stay away from him and would not face him with her true face, for fear of being recognized by him.
From the beginning to the end, everyone avoided him like the snakes and scorpions.
"Maybe she was angry with her family again, so she came out alone."
When they first met Jiangnan, she left home alone because she was angry with her family. I guess the reason was the same this time.
But who are you angry with this time?
Qu Mu knew that Gu Xiyan was infatuated with this woman, and he kept repeating that person's name when he was injured and unconscious.
Even during the most serious incident, I managed to get through it by looking at the marriage certificate in my hand. After that, I started to have some concerns when going into battle to kill the enemy.
"In this case, you should get to know her and coax her."
There are always some twists and turns between young lovers. I advise with my experience: "If the mountain doesn't want you, then go to the mountain. People are all made of flesh and blood. I don't believe that with your ability, that little girl's heart can be so hard."
Gu Xiyan turned around and looked outside again. The wind blew up the curtains and people gathered. He caught sight of Yao Jia's figure at a glance.
She could have used her identity to exchange for better treatment, but in order to avoid recognizing him, she would rather get along with those lowly camp prostitutes.
Seeing that Gu Xiyan didn't say anything for a long time, Qu Mu raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Okay, I'll go take care of the military affairs first. Think about it carefully. After all, she is your fiancée, not someone else."
Gu Xiyan nodded slightly, "I know."
After Qu Mu left the main camp, Gu Xiyan stood there for a long time before turning around and returning to the tent.
As night fell, the lights in the military camp gradually lit up.
After dinner, Yao Jia returned to the tent and took out the new clothes she had bought in exchange for gems at the market yesterday.
Ever since Gu Xiyan saw her face, she no longer let Gu Yi watch her so closely. When she wanted to go to the market, Gu Yi would take her there.
Now that I have new clothes, I naturally want to change into them, but I haven't had a good bath in so many days since I came here. This military camp is naturally different from home. There are only a few bathtubs in total, and they are shared.
There were some for sale at the market, but she couldn't carry them back by herself, so she asked Gu Yi for help, but he rolled his eyes at her.
When I was hanging clothes with the military prostitutes during the day, I heard them say that there was no one guarding the Emerald Lake at night, so I decided to sneak over and take a bath.
He packed his spare clothes in a small cloth bag and walked out of the military camp.
Because of her role as "Wei Liang's widow", Yao Jia can enjoy welfare benefits in this military camp, such as free entry and exit of the camp.
When the camp guards saw her coming, they just smiled and called out "Hello, Madam Wei" before letting her pass.
Yao Jia raised her black face, which was glistening in the moonlight, and bared her big white teeth at him as a greeting.
After leaving the camp, head straight to Emerald Lake.
As I walked, I heard a series of hurried footsteps coming closer and closer from behind.
Yao Jia thought it was someone who wanted to go to the lake to take a bath like her.
Looking back, I saw Gu Xiyan, dressed in casual clothes, walking hurriedly towards the Emerald Lake.
Yao Jia unconsciously moved to the side of the road, thinking: Doesn't Gu Xiyan have a separate bathtub for bathing in the tent? Why did he follow my example and sneakily take a cold shower? But it would be so embarrassing if it got out that a single man and a single woman were bathing in a natural bathing pool like this... How should I live my life in the future?
After all, she is still known as Wei Liang’s widow, right?
But before she could finish her imagination, her wrist was tightened and she was pulled back by Gu Xiyan.
Yao Jia was startled by his sudden action and instinctively tried to break free from his hand, but the other party was too strong and she couldn't break free at all.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Yao Jia struggled and slapped his arms.
She thought Gu Xiyan was afraid that she would run away again.
He shouted loudly: "I'm not trying to escape, I'm going to take a bath, I'm going to take a bath, I want to soak my whole body in the water!"
She hadn't had a good bath for a long time, and she was tired of carrying a bucket of water to wipe her body every day.
Gu Xiyan ignored the rain of slaps from her face, and just held her wrist tightly, pulling her back to his tent.
