The sounds of street vendors and haggling filled the air, all of it particularly pleasant because it was infused with a sense of freedom.
Tian Feiyao smiled slightly, "You said it. Time waits for no one; if we don't love now, we'll grow old. So, are we not stealing a moment of leisure in this fleeting life?"
"Hahaha... I'm glad you think that way!" Gu Yuniang suddenly burst into laughter, affectionately patting Tian Feiyao's cheek, completely oblivious to the curious glances from passersby.
It should be noted that two handsome men, one bold and one gentle, were not surprising in this era when the trend of same-sex affection was prevalent.
Seeing her bright smile, Tian Feiyao couldn't help but break into a grin himself.
Life is meant to be enjoyed, and perhaps he had already made his choice.
The early spring sunlight warmly bathed the couple, carrying their laughter and joy through the air for a long time.
As they walked to the busiest street, Gu Yuniang curiously looked at the throngs of people around them. "A-Yao, something interesting is happening here; let's go join the fun!"
"As long as you're happy!" Tian Feiyao tightly held her hand, carefully navigating through the crowded streets. They were in a hurry today and hadn’t brought anyone along. Although his martial arts skills should keep him safe, caution was still wise.
"Big brother, can I ask what’s going on here?" Gu Yuniang squeezed through the crowd, panting as she asked a burly man next to her.
"They're throwing Flower Balls for matchmaking! It's the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, famous for her beauty!" The man explained earnestly. When his gaze shifted to the tightly clasped hands of Tian Feiyao and Gu Yuniang, a mischievous smile appeared on his face. "Are you two planning to participate? Aren't you already together?"
Damn it!
Tian Feiyao's expression changed slightly. Did he really look that much like "Brokeback"? Come on, he likes women!
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuniang was taken aback for a moment, looking at Tian Feiyao's increasingly grim expression, and then burst into laughter. To prevent Tian Feiyao from going on a rampage, she quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "A-Yao, I'll go help you grab that Flower Ball!" With that, she broke free from Tian Feiyao's tight grip and dashed forward, disappearing into the crowd.
"Don't run around! There are so many people here!" Tian Feiyao shouted, but the person had already vanished. Gritting his teeth, he rushed into the crowd as well.
The man who had asked them questions earlier clicked his tongue. So now gay people are so bold? Helping their partner grab a Flower Ball? The world is truly amazing!
"Jiang Laoye is here... Miss Jiang is here..." A loud voice ignited the crowd's enthusiasm completely, and the atmosphere became electric. Especially when they saw the Jiang family's young lady with her sparkling eyes; everyone was utterly captivated.
Gu Yuniang, with her petite frame, squeezed to the front. She was also caught up in the excitement and didn't notice that a worried figure was searching for her on the other side of the crowd.
Even more alarmingly, she was unaware that danger was gradually approaching.
Gu Yuniang was having the time of her life. She had only seen the tossing of the Flower Ball on television before; now it was happening live! She joined in with the boisterous men below, shouting and cheering. When she saw a veiled woman on the second-floor stage holding up the Flower Ball, her palms became sweaty with nervousness.
At that moment, two men behind her exchanged glances.
Tian Feiyao desperately pushed forward, feeling embarrassed for the first time. As an emperor, why was he competing with a bunch of commoners for a Flower Ball! Damn it, Gu Yuniang, did she really want him to have other women? He thought bitterly, just then sensing something was off.
A glint flashed in his eyes as he caught sight of several men surrounding him exchanging furtive looks. They were doing this on purpose, deliberately separating him from Yun'er.
Realizing something was wrong, he sighed inwardly and suddenly leaped into the air. At the same time, those men also jumped up. Perhaps there were too many people and everyone was too excited; they completely ignored the unusual situation unfolding.
Those men struck fiercely, but Tian Feiyao had no intention of fighting back; he just wanted to reach that woman as quickly as possible.
Seeing that he was only defending and not attacking, the opponent's moves became even more aggressive.
With a "whoosh," the sword light flickered.
Tian Feiyao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Have you been watching us for a long time?"
"Go meet your woman in hell!" The leader sneered, twirling his long sword into a flourish and thrusting it directly at him.
Tian Feiyao snorted coldly. As the sword came at him, he swiftly dodged and pinched the assassin's sword with his fingers. Channeling his internal energy into his fingertips, he snapped the sword with a loud crack.
Seeing this, the other assassins rushed forward. It turned out they had brought quite a few people; now, over a dozen assassins surrounded him, leaving him no way to escape.
While dealing with them, Tian Feiyao continuously scanned the crowd for Gu Yuniang. Without a weapon in hand and facing opponents skilled in martial arts, he was careless for just a moment, and a long sword grazed his arm.
He looked at the group with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. If anything happened to his Yun'er, if...
The mere thought of this possibility instantly changed his tactics. He struck fiercely; every move was fast, ruthless, and precise, aiming to kill without leaving any room for mercy!
"Let me go! Who are you? Let me go!" Gu Yuniang was being carried away by someone, struggling desperately. She had just been about to grab the Flower Ball when a man picked her up and started to leave. "A-Yao... A-Yao..." She spotted Tian Feiyao in the fight and suddenly shouted excitedly, but there were too many people, and her voice quickly drowned in the crowd.
"Shut up! Otherwise, I'll take your life immediately!" The man carrying her said viciously as he sped away, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
The intense fighting ultimately disrupted the Flower Ball matchmaking event. When the onlookers noticed the spreading bloodstains on the ground, they all fled in panic. Master Shen immediately reported to the authorities.
Tian Feiyao only sustained minor injuries, but others suffered heavy casualties. By the time the officials arrived, the remaining assassins had swiftly escaped.
When Yunyang Prefect saw him, he was taken aback and quickly knelt down, saying, "I did not know the Emperor was in trouble and arrived late to rescue! Please forgive me!" He had just taken office not long ago and was already faced with such a situation! How unfortunate!
"Get up. This matter must not be spread outside! There is no need to pursue those criminals anymore. Immediately find a female... male! Report back as soon as you have news of her!" Tian Feiyao ordered impatiently. At this moment, he was anxious; Gu Yuniang had already disappeared without a trace and must have fallen into the hands of that group.
"Dare I ask, Your Majesty, what does that male look like?" The Prefect asked nervously.
"She... has a Peach Blossom Mark on her forehead! She is wearing a blue long gown! Act immediately!"
"Yes!"
Tian Feiyao looked at the sparse pedestrians on the street and felt fear for the first time! Where could she possibly be? During the time it took him to find her, what kind of torment would she endure?
His eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty red due to anger; perhaps it was time to ask someone about this!
In an unknown small alley, in a certain room.
"Who sent you?" Gu Yuniang asked resentfully. Thinking of how Tian Feiyao had been entangled by those people earlier made her extremely worried. Today's events were all her fault; if she hadn't pulled him away for a day, how could he have fallen into such a crisis?
The man who had been carrying him threw her harshly to the ground. "Your man is looking for you everywhere. If you want to stay alive, keep your mouth shut!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuniang felt a surge of joy in her heart; Tian Feiyao was safe, and that was good! While escaping, she noticed that there were soldiers all over the street. As long as the soldiers found her, she would be saved!
