Chapter 1344: 654 taels of the second watch_3

Nangong Li’s eight guards converged from different directions, ultimately pinpointing this carriage.

The coachman was absent.

The guards exchanged a wary glance with one another, and one of them called out, "Who’s in the carriage? Come out!"

Mu Qingchen gave Gu Jiao a look, gesturing with his eyes for her to pull open the hidden compartment under the seat.

Gu Jiao did as instructed and found a set of brand-new women’s clothes that seemed to belong to Su Xue from their style.

"If you don’t come out now, we will take action!" the guard said coldly. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

Gu Jiao slipped on Su Xue’s clothes over her own.

To be honest, it was a bit small, but it still managed to cover her modestly when bunched up over the uniform of Tianqiong Academy.

Mu Qingchen’s original intention was for Gu Jiao to change into the clothes directly. He was unaware that the person beside him was female and naturally did not see any inconvenience in changing clothes. However, seeing Gu Jiao force the clothes on over her uniform, he held no suspicions, thinking only that Gu Jiao had misunderstood his meaning.

He lifted the curtain slightly, just enough to cover Gu Jiao and reveal only himself.

Not everyone had seen Young Master Qingchen, but his attire was extraordinary, and he carried himself with an aristocratic aura, causing the guards to hesitate momentarily.

Mu Qingchen declared his identity: "I am Mu Qingchen. Who are you?"

"So it’s Young Master Qingchen." The guard who had been shouting earlier gave a bow and said, "My apologies."

Young Master Qingchen’s name was well-known in Shengdu. While some might not have seen him, there was no one who hadn’t heard of him.

Mu Qingchen turned the tables: "Answer me, who are you?"

"I... we..."

The guard hesitated. Nangong Li was traveling incognito, and all his guards were not wearing the Nangong Family’s uniform, so naturally, he dared not disclose Nangong Li’s identity without permission.

"They are my men."

The voice of Nangong Li suddenly emerged from the other end of the alley.

His carriage slowly approached, causing the guards to immediately make way to either side.

The carriage stopped ten paces away, and the coachman opened the curtain for Nangong Li.

Nangong Li sat in the carriage, exuding a commanding presence as he and Mu Qingchen regarded each other.

"Master Mu, long time no see."

Mu Qingchen greeted him politely yet with a detached manner: "So it is General Nangong. I have heard that General Nangong was seriously injured, but you seem to have recovered well."

The recovery was an empty courtesy; his face was pale, clearly suffering intense pain at every moment.
