C617 Torture Himself

Du Qi suddenly felt like he was under house arrest. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He hastily called out to the East Pavilion who was about to leave and asked, "General Dongfang, what happened in Lu Mountain?"

The East Pavilion stopped when they heard that. They paused for a moment before turning around and staring at Du Qi. "This official has only heard a little about this matter. As for what exactly happened, this official is not sure."

Just from the attitude of the East Pavilion towards him, it was not hard for Du Qi to tell that the East Pavilion not only knew about the changes in Lu Mountain, but also knew about it. That was why his attitude had such a huge change. However, what exactly happened in Lu Mountain had changed the attitude of the East Pavilion toward him?

Du Qi could not figure it out. He knew that the East Pavilion would never tell him the details at this moment. The only thing that he could think of was, "In that case, General Dongfang, please do as you wish!"

East Pavilion turned around and was about to leave when they suddenly felt that they should not treat Du Qi in such a way. They quickly turned around and said kindly, "Don't worry, young master. During the middle autumn night, I will accompany you with Shui Shui Wuhen, Yuanhui, and others. The official's words just now were meant to prevent them from disturbing Young Master. I hope Young Master can understand my feelings. "

After hearing the East Pavilion's words, Du Qi suddenly felt exhausted. He really wanted to have a good rest. Knowing that the East Pavilion did not mean what they said, he could not be bothered with them. He sat on the edge of the bed helplessly. He waved his hand lazily and said faintly, "I understand. General Dongfang, please do as you wish!"

The East Pavilion was slightly stunned. It seemed like they wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, they only sighed and turned around to leave.

East Pavilion's departure seemed to have taken away all of Du Qi's anger. Du Qi suddenly felt weak and exhausted. He looked at the tightly shut door of the East Pavilion before he left. Du Qi sighed dejectedly as he lay down on the bed, although he wanted to have a good sleep. For a moment, his heart was in turmoil. However, it seemed to be calm without any waves, as if everything had surged into his heart at the same time. It also seemed as if he couldn't remember anything. However, he couldn't stop himself from giving up on himself for a while, then he became spirited again, and then he sighed. Sometimes, he was full of pride! He was clearly torturing himself. How could he be resting?

After such a long time in a daze, Du Qi suddenly heard the sound of the door. He immediately struggled to turn his head to look. He saw the East Pavilion stepping into the door. He quickly turned around and prepared to welcome the East Pavilion. Unexpectedly, he was unable to move even a little bit. He was still lying on the bed.

Du Qi was shocked by this sudden situation. He tried to stand up again, but he suddenly felt sore and painful. He could not even stand. He could only sit on the edge of the bed. He smiled and said, "General Dongfang came back so soon. Is there any good news?"

East Pavilion saw Du Qi's haggard face, bitter smile, and low voice. They said in surprise, "What happened to young master?"

Du Qi suddenly saw the food and tea on the table. He thought that East Pavilion had sent someone to deliver them. However, he didn't know that he was feeling unwell. Could it be that he had gone mad? However, he pretended to be relaxed and smiled. "I'm fine. General Dongfang, please take a seat!"

He stared at Du Qi without blinking his eyes. East Pavilion asked suspiciously, "Is young master really alright?"

Du Qi stood up and puffed out his chest. He smiled and said, "General Dongfang, do I look like I'm alright?"

East Pavilion still did not believe him and said, "I heard that young master is not eating or drinking and lying on the bed. This official thought that young master was cultivating so he did not care. It is getting late and we are about to leave, but young master is behaving like this. I'm really worried. Will you still be able to attend the appointment?"

Du Qi thought that he had only laid down for a short while, but when he saw the dishes on the table... He knew that this period of time was not short, but he never would have thought that he would lie down for more than two days. It was already mid-autumn night, and he had personally booked this date. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, even if he could not move. Moreover, he hadn't lost the ability to move. No matter what, he could not be absent, so he smiled and said, "General Dongfang, please. I will go and see those evil ghosts and snakes!"

East Pavilion said with an expressionless face, "Young Master, please!"

Du Qi stepped out of the house and saw that the surroundings were cold. There was no trace of Ren Dongming, Ma Yuxiao, and the other girls. The soldiers who were patrolling in the past seemed to be tired and hid in their tents to rest. Only two experts at the gate leaned against a tree branch and chatted listlessly. From time to time, they would look around as if they were on guard. It also seemed like they were doing it when they were bored. When they saw Du Qi and the East Pavilion walk out of the house, the two of them hurriedly stood up, but their expressions were still relaxed. Compared to the tense atmosphere in the past, Du Qi did not know why he had such a change. However, he was in a hurry to go to the meeting and had no time to ask about it. He could only sigh to himself.

East Pavilion explained, "Almost everyone is preparing to go to the meeting or are on their way to the meeting. We can't be unprepared. Those soldiers and experts have already set off for Deer Gate Mountain, so this place seems a little deserted."

Du Qi knew that the East Pavilion was perfunctory to him again. If the East Pavilion really treated him the same way they did in the past... Why didn't Yao Fugui come to see them off, and why didn't Shui Wuhen and Yuanhui appear? The more Du Qi thought about it, the more he felt that the girls weren't as loyal to him as they appeared to be. They also didn't want Shui Wuhen and Yuanhui to follow him to the Deer Gate Mountain to take the risk. But before he left, Du Qi still wanted to say goodbye to them. But now, even Yao Fugui, who was closest to him, did not show up. If it was not the East Pavilion, what else could it be?

Du Qi knew that there must be a reason why the East Pavilion treated him this way, because the mission of the East Pavilion was not only to ensure his safety. They were also responsible for keeping an eye on him, and had the right to kill him if necessary. Therefore, he could not separate himself from Yao Fugui, Ma Yuxiao, and the other girls in front of him. Although Du Qi felt deeply regretful, he did not have the slightest intention of blaming the East Pavilion. Because the East Pavilion followed his orders. He was just thinking... Ever since he knew that he was responsible for his mission, what mistakes had he made? However, even after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out why. Then, what was the problem? Just as he was thinking hard, he suddenly heard the East Pavilion call out, "Come out, all of you!"

Du Qi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. Could it be that the East Pavilion wanted to take his life now? Wouldn't it be unfair if he died in the hands of the East Pavilion? Just as he didn't know whether he was going to resign himself to death or just run away and wait for his useful body to find out the truth, he saw Yao Fugui, Ma Yuxiao, and the others running out from the back of the house while cheering. They embraced him reluctantly, and each and every one of them urged him to be careful. They were like a husband who had just been married and sent off his beloved wife.
