Chapter 286: Rival in Love

him who jumped down from their horses and headed towards the riverbank.Mù Hé cautiously shielded Qín Luò Yān behind him, retreating while saying, "Miss, I'll hold them off for a while, you run quickl..."Silence! You made a mistake and still haven't repented!" The foreman roared with pain, his voice loud as if he was deliberately singing to the crowd. He then commanded several guards, "Take these two artisans down and each give them fifty lashes! Pass the word to every workshop, whoever dares not work seriously in the future will end up like them!"

“Master Fang, this isn’t fair…” Lao Liu was a kindhearted man. He didn’t mind being beaten himself, but seeing Qin Luoyan, such a frail little figure, also being dragged away by the guards, he couldn’t help but bellow in protest.

The master heard Lao Liu's low growl and felt that Lao Liu had let him down. He immediately kicked him, "Things done poorly have to be punished. What's unfair about that Today you made General Li dissatisfied, fifty lashes would be light! If there are any more objections, get out of the weapons workshop!"

Lao Liu was unwilling to accept this, but when he heard that he would be expelled from the weapons workshop, he became a little uneasy. It wasn't because he was simply afraid of being driven out, but because he was afraid of failing what the Marquis had entrusted him with and wasting all these years of painstaking efforts in building relationships.

Actually, Qin Luoyan was also unwilling in her heart. She did what she thought was right and wouldn't regret it, but the abbot's practice of making someone take the blame when something went wrong was really something she didn't agree with. She had put in so much effort for days, but in the end, not only did she not get any rewards, but she was also punished. How could this not make her feel disheartened

If this is the weapons workshop of Nan Yue, then the future of Nan Yue… is precarious!

Inside the pavilion, General Li and his son, along with Li Yunfan, were all paying attention to what was happening. However, in General Li's eyes, even though the craftsmanship of that young artisan was good, it ultimately couldn't surpass that of the master craftsman from Beiming Country. This was defeat. For a loser, he didn't think there was any need to plead for him.

As for Li Yue, he wouldn't provoke his own father for an unrelated person. After all, things are special for him now.

Only Li Yunfan, when he saw the two guards grabbing Qin Luo'yan's arm, instinctively stood up. He even ignored the surprised glances from General Li and his son, and hurried in that direction.

“Wait!” Li Yun dashed forward to Qin Luo Yan’s face, grabbing her arm and pulling her away from the two guards. Perhaps he was too worried, as he used too much force, pulling Qin Luo Yan into his arms. He had so much momentum that he couldn't stop himself, holding Qin Luo Yan and falling backwards.

Before everyone could figure out what was going on, they saw Li Yun fan holding Qin Luo Yan and falling to the ground. The posture, if it were a man and a woman, would be a beautiful story, but if it were two men...

Everyone was shocked by the scene before them, involuntarily shivering. Especially when Li Yanshan's eyes held a hint of admiration, it sent chills down people's spines.

When a man sees the woman he loves, the admiration in his eyes is impossible to conceal.

Prior to this, Li Yun had disguised himself very well. But in this moment of sudden downfall, perhaps because it was too abrupt and he hadn't had time to change into his disguise, his true emotions were revealed to everyone present.

Li Yue thought he had seen wrong, his throat rolled, and secretly tugged at his father's sleeve under the table, "Father..."

General Li, quick-witted as he was, snapped back to his senses and glared at Li Yue with a warning look. This made the question Li Yue had been about to ask die in his throat before it could be uttered. However, General Li's warning stare made it clear to Li Yue - he hadn't misjudged the situation. His cousin was indeed gazing at a man... with an expression of adoration!

The master was so shocked that his hair stood on end. He wished he could cover his eyes. All this time, he thought Li Yunfan never went into the weapons workshop's kiln because he looked down on the women inside. He never expected that he would actually like men!

He couldn't help but tug at his belt, a wave of nausea washing over him. Thinking back to when he and Li Yunfan used to spend time alone together, even sharing intimate moments like soaking in hot springs, sent shivers down his spine.

Everyone was still in shock, and no one even remembered to help the two people who had fallen.

Until they reached the entrance of the courtyard, a long, dark figure suddenly appeared. His form blocked the lantern light at the doorway, stretching his silhouette onto the fallen figures. Only then did the crowd come to their senses.

However, the person who appeared at the gate of the courtyard was even more unexpected than they had imagined.

"Martial, Martial the King of Xuan…" General Li came back to his senses and stood up from the gazebo with difficulty.

No one expected that King Wu Xuan's Fu Zi Mo would suddenly appear at the entrance of the courtyard, and he even saw two men hugging each other and lying on the ground.

Fu Zi Mo did not look at General Li and the others in the pavilion. His gaze fell on the two people lying on the ground. His eyes were sharp, and his eyes seemed to have whipped up a storm and snowstorm, burying the whole world. The blizzard covered everything around him within three meters, turning the area into an icy wasteland.

Qin Luoyan didn't expect to see Fu Zimo suddenly appear in front of her when she looked up. She couldn't help but guess, how did he get here Could it be that he knew she was delivering goods today and was afraid she would have trouble Was he worried about her and came to take a look

She daydreamed of the best possible scenario, and her mood lifted accordingly. Just as she was about to stand up, she moved and woke Li Yunfan who was hugging her.

Li Yunfan seemed to only notice the scorching gazes from all directions at this moment, but he just frowned and didn't mean to avoid them. Instead, he stood up and carefully supported Qin Luoyan's arm, gently asking, "Are you alright"

Qin Luo's remaining light caught sight of Fu Zimu's almost frozen gaze, her lips twitched, she quickly took a step back, keeping an arm's length of safety from Li Yunfan, "It's nothing."

"It's good that nothing happened. Your body is so weak, what if you got hurt because of this" Li Yun spoke in a gentle voice that sent chills down one's spine. He seemed to have a sense of reckless abandon, since everyone had already seen his abnormality, he no longer shied away from it.

He thought about it from the other side. This girl disguised as a man who sneaked into the blacksmith's workshop must be a woman. Life would definitely be inconvenient for her if she were discovered. If he labeled her, it would keep people around her at a distance, and in that way, she would be safer.

Qin Luo'yan didn't know what Li Yunfan was thinking, but she was speechless at his posture, especially with Fu Zimu's icy gaze on her back, she felt a headache coming on.
