Chapter 1588: Unease in My Heart

w who took him”Yun Yi shook her head slightly. "Unknown, but according to our soldiers' descriptions, those mysterious people were highly skilled in martial arts and showed great respect to the boy. T...Hearing Xiao Mao's panicked voice, Da Mao's heart suddenly tightened. He looked up in the direction Xiao Mao was pointing and immediately saw the man on the bed who had been unconscious just a moment ago now open his eyes.

And his eyes looked extremely cold, making the two brothers feel a shiver down their spines.

Especially this man's jet-black and deep eyes were fixed on Da Mao's, his icy gaze slowly moving downward. Wherever his gaze fell, it was like a sharp blade, making Da Mao feel that the knife was always about to pierce his neck.

Damo was so stared at that his heart trembled. At this moment, he was extremely pathetic. His eyes suddenly contracted violently, and his pupils seemed to be about to burst out with fiery flames.

His hand holding the bowl of soup trembled uncontrollably, a fine sweat breaking out on his skin. His whole body started to shake involuntarily, and he alone knew just how many goosebumps had risen on his arms.

He was so close to this man, if the man really wanted to do something to him, he would be utterly helpless. So at this moment, his eyes were fixed straight ahead, his mind racing with countless thoughts, afraid that today might be his last day.

Xia Mao just watched as his older brother's body trembled visibly. The bowl of soup he was holding also shook, and the broth inside almost spilled out.

The scene remained silent for a while. Just when the two brothers didn't know what to do next, they saw the man on the kang slowly close his eyes again.

If it weren't for the sheen of sweat on their backs reminding them, they almost would have thought the whole thing was an illusion.

After a while, the two brothers looked at each other when they were sure the man hadn't opened his eyes again. They both felt confused, wondering if the man was actually awake or not

Xia Mao pursed her lips, "Big brother... What should we do now"

Big Mao also wanted to ask that, feeling a little at a loss. Just now, he thought his life was hanging by a thread, and while he was worried and scared, there was also a tinge of excitement and exhilaration.

After all, the man finally woke up. He didn't forget what he had said to them before he fell into a coma, so his awakening actually means that the promises he made to the two brothers before are very likely to be fulfilled.

The riches and fame of a prosperous life, standing out among others, were things they had never dared to dream of in their lifetimes. But ever since they met this man and received his promise, they dared to imagine it.

Since bringing this man back, of course they have been hopeful. Hopeful that he will wake up, keep his promise, and help the two brothers change their situation.

Who doesn't want wealth and honor, who doesn't want to stand out from the crowd

Now, the man has closed his eyes again, this time for who knows how long before he wakes up.

Just thinking about it makes me incredibly agitated.

Damo remained silent for a moment, glancing at the rice soup in his bowl and then at the man on the kang. He finally summoned his courage and cautiously approached him.

As usual, Da Mao began feeding him some rice porridge. Surprisingly, this time it went smoothly.

After successfully feeding the first bowl of rice congee, the two brothers looked at each other in disbelief, it was magical!

This man didn't even make any dangerous moves against them, and just let Da Mao feed him the rice porridge so easily.

However, the two brothers did not completely relax their vigilance, each with one heart hanging until Da Mao spoon by spoon fed all the rice porridge.

body

Little Mao immediately excitedly opened his mouth, "Big brother, he...he didn't actually make a move."

Damo had already calmed down at this point. He guessed that perhaps before, the man didn't know who was approaching him, so he subconsciously attacked anyone who came near him.

He hadn't made a move because, after opening his eyes just now, he saw that these two brothers had been right beside him all these days. He felt they were trustworthy, so he relaxed his guard and let them come closer.

If that were the case, then this man might truly live up to his earlier promise and bring them their dreams of wealth and prosperity.

At this point, Damo's heart was beating faster and faster. He had to find a way for the man to wake up sooner.

He scrambled off the kang, shoving the bowl into Xiao Mao's hand and instructing, "This can't go on. I'm going to town to get some medicine from the doctor. You stay here and keep watch. Remember, don't let anyone in."

Xiao Mao saw his elder brother's serious face and immediately nodded, patting his chest to assure him, "Big brother, you can rest assured, I know what to do."

After three more reminders, Damo finally left in a hurry.

……

The Imperial Study of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace in the capital city.

After Ye2 helped the emperor deal with some memorials, he still thought that today's schedule would be the same as usual. Perhaps because the emperor suspected him, or perhaps because Mo Yunze had caused a stir today, the emperor unexpectedly asked him to leave the palace early and return home to accompany his family.

There's no need for you to stay here any longer. Ye 2 is happy about it, too. After all, he'd rather not spend his days by the emperor's side dealing with these trivial matters.

If it were not for the Emperor's summons, he would rather stay at home with Xiaoqin. Since recovering from his injuries and entering the palace, it had been several days since he had shared a meal with Xiaoqin.

After all, every time he left the palace, the emperor had already left him a late meal, and he didn't want Xiaoqin to wait for him with an empty stomach, so whenever he entered the palace, he had no chance to eat with Xiaoqin at the same table.

Today, he finally didn't have to dine with the emperor in the palace, and he could leave the palace earlier. Although his face looked calm, he was already so happy inside that he wanted to jump for joy.

He hastily bid farewell to the emperor and rushed out of the palace.

……

But, as he expected, today at the palace he encountered Mo Yunze. Especially since it was because of him that Mo Yunze received a slap from the emperor, Mo Yunze was certainly not willing to let him off easily.

Mo Yunze returned to his estate and soon sent assassins to kill Ye 2.

So shortly after he left the palace, several men in black attacked him on his way home.

These men in black had a clear objective: they were here for him. And Mo Yunze likely hoped to achieve it in one go, taking his life today. The people he sent were all very skilled fighters.

Fortunately, Ye 2 had two skilled masters, Da Liang and Xiao Liang, by his side, which bought him a lot of time.

But these people's martial arts are truly strong. If they continue like this, there's no way to withstand them.

Daliang frowned, "Lord, should I send out a distress signal now"

He had already brought in a considerable number of people to help their master, but these people were arranged by their master to protect the county princess and were not able to appear in time now.

However, before Daliang's words could be answered by Ye 2, another wave of people arrived.Seeing Ning'er speak with such seriousness, Yunliu lost his joking mood and immediately asked, "What happened""Our guild leader has made a move.""!"Yunliu's eyes widened in surprise. "What"Ning'er rem...
