Chapter 83 : Wandering

After leaving the palace gates, Pei's family was not in the same direction as Wuli's mansion, and Pei Siyan offered her farewell.

"I'll have time to chat with Lord Wuli again in the future, I'll take my leave first." Pei Si Yan smiled gently, Li Qing Dye saluted Chi Mo Lou simply and respectfully, then carried Pei Si Yan into the carriage.

Chi Mo Lou nodded his head, quietly looking at the man in his thirties who was busy for the Imperial Master Lord, his brows slightly furrowed, as if an uneasiness had suddenly arisen in his heart.

"Lord Wuli, we'll leave first." Pei Si Yan lifted the curtain of the car and spoke.

"Lord Pei walk slowly." Chi Mo Lou slightly owed his body and watched Pei's carriage drift away, quickly disappearing into the sea of people. He didn't leave immediately, didn't even hear the attendant's questioning in his ear, silently staring openly, his hand reaching into his sleeve, sadness swept across his eyes.

The spring breeze blew softly across his cheeks, but it was unable to take away that hint of low emotion.

Seeing that his master's face did not look too good, the attendant lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.

After a long time, Chi Mo Lou's hand was pulled out from his sleeve and commanded the attendant in a low voice, ''You take the empty sedan chair and return to the mansion first, I have other important matters to attend to. If Lord Father asks where I'm going, just say that I happened to meet an old friend on the way and casually chatted in the tavern."

"Yes, my lord." The attendant bowed and retired, leading a sedan chair hurriedly away.

Chi Mo Lou looked around and found that the extremely impolite son Xu Zi Huan was strutting out of the palace with an air of arrogance and dominance, he shook his head, not wanting to meet with this person again, and immediately turned around and left.

Since the new emperor ascended to the throne, a series of reforms have been implemented, the first to enjoy the benefits of the people of the imperial capital of life more and more affluent and satisfied, gradually get rid of the previous emperor brought the trouble and poverty. The hustle and bustle of the market, people come and go as if a river is running, vendors selling their goods, children noisily chasing after each other, clamouring for sugar, a peaceful state.

Chi Mo Lou walking speed is very slow, a not long street even spent half an hour's effort, as if it is on the age, slow movement of the elderly in general.

Seemingly concerned about something, Chi Mo Lou stopped at the street corner, his brows furrowed in thought.

Pedestrians passed by him, coming and going without stopping, occasionally a few young women slowed down their steps, shyly stole a few glances at the gentle and handsome nobleman, softly talked and laughed with their female companions for a few moments, and then hurriedly ran to their respective destinations.

Originally like a jewel-like crystal bright eyes more and more dim, as if losing life, Chi Mo Lou clenched his fists, blankly looking ahead, the footsteps and retracted.

Not far away, a few stall vendors have long noticed this unusual noble son, quietly whispering something, pushing and shoving each other for half a day, wanting to send a person to go forward to care about care. However, in the face of a rich or noble gentleman in gorgeous clothes, despite facing a calm feeling, they still hesitated whether to really come over to ask a question or not.

After half a day of arguing, a short-tempered man among the hawkers just couldn't stand it anymore and scolded, "You cowards!" After saying that, he took a big step forward.

Unexpectedly, the man just took two or three steps, Chi Mo Lou suddenly as if he had made up his mind, continued to walk forward.

The man gave a "uh" sound, scratched his head, muttered a few words under his breath, and turned back.

Chi Mo Lou thinking about his mind, just focus on the road under his feet, what the pedestrians around him are doing or saying, he does not care at all, just focus on the slow steps forward.

At this moment, there is a rampaging carriage not far behind him, the driver of the carriage is very vicious, despite the many people on the street, constantly waving the whip, scared the passers-by panic to dodge to the side, a time to cause a not small riot.

Chi Mo Lou did not notice the danger looming behind him, and did not even hear the rising and falling screams.

When the driver saw someone in front of him, he didn't let go of the road, but instead walked towards the middle of the road, cursing "don't want to die, get out of the way", while continuing to swing his whip.

Chi Mo Lou still did not hear, immersed in his own mind.

The coachman had no choice, even if his master's skills were heavenly, running over a person on the streets of the imperial capital in broad daylight would definitely be no good, so he hurriedly pulled the reins tightly, trying to get the horse to stop, but the horse that was being stimulated completely ignored his master's cries, and continued to charge forward.

Seeing that the carriage was not going to stop, the driver then revealed a look of horror, his mind went blank, his hands couldn't help but loosen the reins, and he watched as the horse crashed into the people in front of him.

Just in the nick of time, Chi Mo Lou finally snapped out of his contemplation, his ears filled with screams and the sound of hooves, he immediately understood what had happened, his body agilely dodged to the side.

His coat was still fluttering as the carriage rumbled past.

The surrounding people were dumbfounded as they witnessed this thrilling scene, and even though Chi Mo Lou was already safe and sound, he still couldn't get over the shock at that time.

Chi Molou looked at the still speeding carriage, his eyes flinched, suddenly his body was as light as a swallow flying towards the carriage, the tip of his foot lightly pointing to the top of the carriage, and then gently leaped, standing beside the driver, grabbed the reins, and tugged them to death, the horse hissed, and then ran haphazardly, but soon stopped and gasped for breath.

Chi Mo Lou's action is as fast as lightning, in one go, once again looking dumbfounded at the surrounding people.

Chi Mo Lou dropped the reins and jumped off the carriage, an extremely unpleasant light flashed in his eyes as he said in a cold voice: ''Above the market, how can you drive like this! You, come with me to the Imperial Palace Office!"

The coachman obviously didn't know this Lord Wuli, and said brusquely, "Obviously it's you who don't watch where you're walking, it's none of my business!"

"Matter?" Chi Mo Lou narrowed his eyes.

"Er ..." The driver was scared by his sharp knife like eyes, involuntarily took a step backwards, and hurriedly turned around, intending to ask for help from his master in the car.

The curtain was lifted by the person inside before him, revealing a young handsome face, that person gave the car driver a slap in the face without any explanation, drinking: "Dog slave, don't know how much this young master is in a hurry ah, suddenly stop what car! You want to die, don't you?"

After receiving a slap in the face for no reason, the driver glared at Chi Mo Lou with resentment, "Master, I don't want to stop the carriage either, but this man insisted on stopping the carriage," he said. But this man had to stop the carriage, I couldn't help him."

"Roll you useless thing!" The man cursed again, looked up at the person who stopped the road, his face changed drastically, the previous anger all disappeared in an instant, transforming into shock and vigilance, "Yes, it's you ... Witch Lilly Lord Chi."

Chi Molou stood with his hands in the air, not angry, looking at Xu Zihuan on the carriage.

Suddenly, he noticed another person in the carriage, and although the light in the carriage wanted to be very dim, he still distinguished the person s appearance clearly, and his heart could not help but be stunned.

That is not ...

Xu Zihuan quickly came back to his senses from his surprise, and after realising his companion in the carriage, he immediately lowered the curtain and got down from the carriage, walking calmly in front of Chi Molou.

"Greetings to Lord Wuli."

"Shizi Xu, so it's you." Hostility and anger were evident in Chi Mo Lou's words, "I wonder what kind of family education your Xu family has? As a hallowed son, you dare to disregard the safety of the people and recklessly drive wildly through the streets, do you know how heavy this offence is?"

"Lord Wuli, there isn't a single provision in the Blue Country's laws that says you can't speed down the street in a car, ah?" Xu Zihuan shook his head, unconcerned, "If there is, please say so and instruct me."

Chi Molou sneered, "Shizi Xu, just by the fact that you almost hit me just now, I can report you to the court!"

Xu Zihuan raised his eyebrows, "My lord, I may have been reckless, but I didn't injure you or bump you to death, so why are you so entangled? If you really do incriminate me at that time, I'm afraid the Emperor won't be able to convict me at all, right?"

"Shizi Xu, why don't we give it a try, what do you think?" Chi Molou laughed lightly, staring earnestly at Xu Zihuan's face.

Chi Mo Lou's gaze was clear, but deep as an ancient well that could not see the bottom, the deep meaning contained therein was impossible to speculate on, and it actually made people feel a cold chill behind their backs, as if there was a large, invisible hand reaching out to crush one's heart.

Xu Zihuan coughed twice to stabilise his mind, not intending to entangle himself with the people of Wu Li any further, holding back the strong dissatisfaction in his heart, and said with a hint of apology: ''I'm sorry, the people of Wu Li, I won't dare to do so again. I still have important things to do that concern the court, so please make way for your honour, okay?"

"Important matters concerning the court?" Chi Mo Lou's gaze swept the curtains of the drooping car again, and smiled coldly, "Xu Shizi, I hope you won't make the same mistake again, or else I definitely won't spare you easily! In addition ..." he paused, then added, "A word of advice to Xu Shizi, one must not be too open and domineering."

"Something Lord Wuli has taught me! My lord, please." Shizi Xu only cared about whether or not Lord Wuli let himself go, the other words simply went in his left ear and out his right ear, not paying the slightest bit of attention to them.

Chi Mo Lou let out a light sigh, immersing himself back into his own mind, continuing to take slow steps.

Xu Zihuan revealed a contemptuous gaze, his nose emitted a disdainful hum, and then turned his head to get into the car.

Xu Zihuan's sneering voice came from the carriage, ''What are you afraid of? Lord Wuli must not have seen you before, so how could he know your identity? It won't go and inform."

"But, Lord Shizi ...," another timid male voice rang out.

"If I say I won't, I won't!" Xu Zihuan grew even more impatient, "What do you think you are? Everyone in the entire Imperial Capital knows you? I've clearly sized up Wu Li, and he didn't even notice you!"

"But it's better to be careful in all things ..."

Xu Zihuan interrupted the man's words, "This young master knows it in his heart, so I need you to talk too much?" Then, his voice suddenly raised considerably, "Dog slaves outside, what are you dawdling for? Why don't you continue to drive the car?"

The coachman shivered and didn't dare to slow down any more, hurriedly climbed into the carriage and continued to drive.
