After the family fell, I wanted to lie down
Chapter 41 The Business of Murder
Chen Junhe was led by Yingge to walk aimlessly along the way. After running for a while, Yingge stopped.
Chen Junhe's heart tightened when he saw her stop, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, you..."
Yingge walked into the bushes and called out softly, "Chunqiao."
After a while, there was a rustling sound in the bushes, and a girl asked cautiously with a trembling voice, "What happened? Was he discovered, or... I heard someone say he jumped into the lake."
Yingge did not answer Chunqiao's words, but pulled her to leave. It was dark at night and her face could not be seen clearly. Suddenly, Chunqiao appeared and Chen Junhe was startled. "You want it, you have to take it with you."
"We all leave. We can't stay here."
The three of them stumbled forward, and Yingge pulled the still confused Chunqiao to catch up.
The torches became brighter and brighter, and many people from Yiyuan rushed to the lake. As they walked, Chen Junhe saw the guards in red robes unconsciously slowed down their pace and their breathing became faster.
Yingge immediately said, "Chunqiao lower your head."
Chunqiao did as she said.
"What's going on? Why are you here, Master?"
Chen Junhe felt someone push his back, and he rushed into the noisy crowd. The bright torches illuminated the world, and the heat of the fire made his throat dry.
"What happened?" he heard himself say.
The servants around him who knew him saw his face clearly and said, "Master Junhe, it's you. Why are you still here? The masters have all left."
A guard in red looked at Chen Junhe for a while without saying anything, then looked away. The grandson of the owner of Yi Garden had been screened by them before he came. It was normal for young masters to have servants and maids around them. There was nothing strange about it. Besides, Yi Garden was someone else's home.
"It's nothing. Someone accidentally fell into the water. If nothing happens, Master Jun and I should leave quickly." After saying that, he brushed past him and walked straight past him.
"Did you fall into the water? The lake is huge. How about I help you?"
"No need, Jun and Young Master, please leave quickly." The red-clothed guard said without turning his head.
After hearing these words, Chen Junhe wished he could spread his wings and fly out quickly. Hurry up, hurry up, they would be at the gate soon, get on the carriage and leave. Torches and people were crossed, and footsteps and people were shaking.
Chen Junhe was about to run away, but someone pushed him from behind. At this moment, he heard a snapping sound, and something warm and slightly bloody was sprinkled on his neck. He took the torch from the person next to him without turning back, and only saw a bloody red on his hands and body... This color was so familiar, he had just seen the scene of Lu Gongqing drinking human blood.
What happened to him? Was he going to die? Why couldn't he feel any pain? He wanted to scream, but couldn't. He couldn't scream, but someone else could.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
The sound of the knife piercing flesh rang in her ears.
He wanted to turn his head to look, but Yingge had already knocked him to the ground, and at the same time, she also threw Chunqiao over with a clever move.
"Everyone lower your heads." Yingge said.
The three of them fell to the ground in an instant, and out of the corner of their eyes they saw someone flying forward past them with a big knife in his hand.
There was the sound of swords and sabers flashing in the noise, and it was impossible to count how many people there were. All I saw was slaves falling to the ground one after another, with blood all over their bodies.
The red-clothed guard was surrounded by a group of men in black. A thick smoke rose from the ground at some point, making the scene chaotic.
"This, this, what's going on? Is this the opportunity you were talking about?" Chen Junhe shouted to Xiang Yingge.
Damn opportunity. The opportunity she was talking about was that the young lady arranged by Lu Gongqing would jump into the lake, and they could take advantage of the chaos to get out, but it was not the assassination they were facing now.
This is not an opportunity at all; it's clearly a trouble.
Yingge fell to the ground with a complicated expression on her face. Who knows how many people Lu Gongqing had killed over the years. It was not surprising that someone assassinated him. After all, if they killed one person, there would always be someone behind the scenes to avenge them.
But the timing is obviously not right! Now that it has happened, it is troublesome.
After only one of the red guards was entangled, his two fists were no match for four hands. The assassins mercilessly attacked the fleeing slaves, and at the same time, they also saw the three of them lying on the ground.
Just as Chen Junhe was about to raise his head, a big knife came towards him. It was the first time he felt so close to death.
What should he do? What should he do at this moment? He subconsciously squatted down with his hands on his head. He only heard a puff, and his hands and head were wet and hot. Blood filled his brain. How could he die? Why didn't he feel any pain?
He looked up in a daze, and what he saw was a masked man in black, staring with his eyes wide open, motionless. There was an iron rod stuck in his throat, and he remembered that the owner of the iron rod was...
Chen Junhe was stunned immediately. He turned around and saw Yingge half-kneeling, holding the iron rod in one hand and supporting the ground with the other hand. She stood up, raised her hand to pull back the iron rod, and another stream of blood spurted out. The man in front of him instantly fell to the ground, twitched a few times and then stopped moving, and the knife in his hand was subconsciously clenched a little.
Killed.
Yingge killed someone.
The belief that Chen Junhe had always believed in collapsed, and he screamed. Chunqiao also saw the scene in front of her and started screaming.
Murder, murder, they began to follow the shouts in confusion, and then they saw the man who fell in front of them, and the iron rod that Yingge took out of her hand. The torches that fell on the ground illuminated the entire ground, which was covered in blood. At first, she thought the murderer was someone else, but now she saw the tools...
That person is Yingge.
Ahhhhh, a series of screams came out.
Yingge quickly pulled Chunqiao up, kicked Chen Junhe and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Chen Junhe staggered after being kicked by Yingge, and crawled forward on his hands and feet. Screams came one after another behind him, and the sounds of weapons and shouts were mixed together.
Some people behind him ran over and fell down, some people were hacked to death behind them, and of course there were times when knives were pulled towards them. Screams were accompanied by blood splattering all over his neck. He never dared to look back, but just followed the instinct of survival and kept running forward.
He had to leave this nightmare as soon as possible, he had to escape.
The noise exploded in Yi Garden, and the calls behind him became smaller and smaller. Not long after walking away, the sound of weapons clashing was heard in the front again, accompanied by the neighing of horses and carriages and the sound of fire.
"Horses and carriages, horses and carriages." Chen Junhe shouted.
"The carriages and horses are no longer usable, and nowhere is safe. If someone has the guts to kill someone like Lu Gongqing, there must be a lot of arrangements around him."
"Don't worry about those, let's go this way." After saying that, Yingge held Chunqiao with one hand and pulled Chen Junhe forward with the other.
Chen Junhe was pulled and stumbled, only feeling that these hands were particularly powerful at this moment. There was an iron rod inserted across her waist, with a little blood on it. Under the moonlight, two sharp rays of light could be seen.
No one spoke at this time, there was only the sound of loud and continuous panting. Chen Junhe was pulled by her to run around, and he couldn't tell the directions at all. But Yingge seemed to know more than him. Finally, after running for a distance, a towering wall blocked their way.
"Go up. Climb."
Chen Junhe was pushed to the side of the wall. It was so high, how could he climb up? In order to prevent anyone from entering, the outer walls of Yiyuan were built very high.
Chen Junhe held onto the wall with weak hands and feet, then slowly moved forward and touched a rope. Yingge had already started tying up his legs, and then suddenly pushed him up from behind.
Chen Junhe screamed and grabbed the rope in panic.
"Climb, climb over the wall," Yingge said again.
Chen Junhe sniffed tremblingly, grasping the rope with shaking hands and climbing up. A pair of strong hands behind him supported him from the heels to the soles of his feet. With this strength, he finally grabbed the top of the wall. This was the first time in his life...
He was from an aristocratic family after all, and he was a modest gentleman on weekdays. How could he have climbed over a wall? It turned out that this experience was not fun at all...
Chen Junhe climbed up the wall and sat on it. Looking at the fire behind him, he couldn't help feeling like crying.
"Come down quickly, pull!" Yingge's voice came from behind.
Chen Junhe saw that Chunqiao was also lifted up like him, and reached out to pull her over. He reached for the girl's hand little by little, and used his other hand to hold on to the wall tightly.
Chunqiao was much better at climbing the wall than him, and she climbed up in no time.
"Yingge, Yingge." Chunqiao called her name in a crying voice.
Yingge did not agree to her, but took the rope tied to her body, pushed her feet against the wall, and climbed up in no time.
"Chunqiao, hold me tight."
"At this point, the distinction between men and women has been forgotten, even though she is not a real man."
Whatever she said was what it meant, and Chunqiao immediately hugged her.
I heard her remind me again and hugged her tightly. Then I saw her body tilting downwards and she fell directly down. Chunqiao screamed and hugged Yingge tightly and didn't dare to let go. There was a slight pause in the middle. It turned out that Yingge pushed the wall with her feet, and then slid to the ground.
Chunqiao's legs softened and he knelt on the ground, but his hands still held Yingge tightly.
Yingge clapped her hands to comfort her and asked her to bring it over.
"Yingge, Yingge, what about me, what about me?"
A crying voice came from above.
"You grab the rope and come down."
"I don't, I don't dare...why don't you carry me on your back..."
Yingge shook the rope and said, "Come down, I can catch you."
"Ouch, ouch, I can't move."
You can't blame him for this. After all, at his age, the incident of Lu Gongqing sucking blood had already given him a great shock. Then he saw the murder, and he probably started to have nightmares at night. "If you don't come down, we will leave directly!"
This threat was really scary for him. Chen Junhe slid down while holding the rope while crying. When people are scared, they have no strength. He held on for a while and then became weak. With a cry, he fell off. Yingge half-knelt below to reduce the pressure of the buffer and caught him steadily.
Chen Junhe started crying again.
"You're still crying. If you want to cry, wait until we're safe. Now leave."
Hearing this, Chen Junhe cried even harder. They are not yet completely finished, yet they have already come out.
"Hurry up and leave. This distance is still very dangerous. If we don't leave now, the pursuers will come and think we are accomplices. Even if you are rich and powerful, it won't work. You might even implicate the Chen family."
"Go, go quickly, that person is a monster."
Yingge asked Chunqiao if she was okay, and said that if she was, she would carry her on her back. Chunqiao knew that this was not a good time to talk, so she could only say that she would leave first. She gritted her teeth, Yingge had worked so hard to rescue her, and she would never drag her down again.
Yingge replied "OK", picked up the package from the ground, put the iron bar in his hand back behind his back, and then ran forward holding one in each hand.
Yiyuan is not too far away, as there is a town not far away, and there are also some traveling inns along the way for travelers to rest.
"Let's go there." Yingge said. They stood on the main road and pointed ahead, then changed into clean clothes. Jun and the young master asked me to go out and have fun drinking today, and then no one knew where we were when the incident happened.
After all, those people who saw them just now were dead.
Chen Junhe sniffed hard. His face could not be seen clearly due to the darkness, but one could imagine that the boy must have blood all over his face and head, and his clothes were in a mess.
But everyone's condition wasn't any better now, so Yingge patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine."
If someone said it was okay on normal days, Chen Junhe would definitely sneer, but now in front of him was Yingge, who was a head shorter than him, and the young man's words made him feel a little relieved. He relied on her to get through this journey, otherwise he would have died at the hands of Lu Gongqing or at the hands of an assassin.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Yingge's waist. Was the murderous weapon always hidden on her body? Why would she carry a weapon outside?
She actually killed someone, and the person she killed was an assassin.
"Okay, let's go. We'll be safe once we get to town."
The three of them walked quickly along the road. The town was already vaguely visible, with bright lights and some special food stalls. The news from Yiyuan had not yet reached here, so the three of them could not help but speed up their pace. Suddenly Yingge stopped.
Her stop caused the two people following her to almost bump into her back.
Chen Jun and Chun Qiao stopped and asked nervously, "What happened?"
"Someone's there."
"There's someone here. Is it an assassin, or a monster trying to kill them on the way?" Chen Junhe subconsciously grabbed Yingge's sleeve.
Yingge led them to hide in the concave area on the other side. With the help of a little scattered light, they moved slowly and swayingly.
How did Yingge see it from such a distance? Her eyesight is so good.
As soon as the thought came to my mind, the sporadic lights became closer and closer. It was not a will-o'-the-wisp man, but a person walking on the road with a lantern.
This road is the back door of Yi Garden. Usually people go there to shop and collect firewood. However, these days, because Lu Gongqing lives in Yi Garden, these people are forbidden to enter or leave during the day, let alone at night.
Even if there was someone riding in a carriage, he must be from a wealthy or noble family. So what was the matter with meeting someone alone holding a lantern tonight?
There was still some distance between us, so I couldn't hear clearly what the person was muttering.
Chen Junhe pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and the human voice became clearer and clearer.
"My sister was chosen, my sister was chosen, my sister..."
Yingge said, "I'll go, there's nothing I can do."
Going, where to go, Chen Junhe asked.
Yingge did not go anywhere and continued to stay in the convex and concave. Chen Jun and Chunqiao did not dare to move, and even their breathing slowed down. At this time, they finally saw clearly that the person who came was a short and fat boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. He was holding a lamp and looked a little stupid.
"It's Zhu Nian, my classmate." Yingge said.
It turns out to be a classmate's?
Yingge saw the direction he was going and roughly guessed where he was going. "His sister was chosen."
"Ah, so he is going to Yi Garden now?"
Yingge nodded. "This is troublesome. Her sister hasn't come out yet, and he's going to go over there again."
"If he goes there now, he will be seeking death. Yiyuan is now catching the assassin." Chen Junhe said.
"Go and call him back."
Well, this kid has a good heart. Yingge glanced at him and said, "I guess it's impossible to call him back now."
"It's not working." Chen Junhe didn't know what to do for a moment.
Yingge said, "Ah, you are so soft-hearted. Well, you usually mention your sister, and I even ate the cakes your sister made. Now I will just take it as a favor."
"What are you going to do?"
"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon!"
