After crossing, let yourself go

After Yan Hongzhi left, Han Jiu fell asleep after a while of random thoughts. She was so exhausted today that she almost died. In a daze, Han Jiu felt as if someone pushed her. When she saw who it was, she was startled, "Pei Qing?"

Pei Qing looked at the young master's abdomen worriedly without asking what happened, and said anxiously, "Young master, something happened."

It must be a big deal for Pei Qing to say this. "What's wrong?" Han Jiu asked while getting out of bed and putting on his clothes.

"It's the general and the eldest young master, the general and the eldest young master..." Pei Qing stopped talking and lowered his head.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Han Jiu said in a low voice, waiting for news that didn't seem to be good news.

"The general and the eldest young master are gone." Pei Qing's voice was so low that it made people feel muffled.

Han Jiu paused and stared at Pei Qing's eyes in disbelief. "Gone? What does gone mean? Is he missing or dead?" She had a gloomy face and her heart almost jumped out.

"The young master didn't take me out today, so I went back to check on the barracks after not being back for a while. I happened to see the general and the eldest young master going out. I asked him what they were doing but he didn't tell me. I didn't think much about it at the time, but I felt something was wrong.

Normally, the general and the young master rarely go out together. If they go out together, it must be something big. Seeing that my father's face has been bad and he seems very anxious, I have not returned home to wait and find out what happened. But who would have thought that what I would wait for when I returned was the bad news about the general and the young master. "Pei Qing knelt on the ground with tears on his face and looked at Han Jiu.

Han Jiu stood straight in front of Pei Qing and listened to his words quietly. When he stopped talking, he asked in a gloomy voice, "And then?"

"After hearing the news about the general and the eldest young master, my father collapsed on the ground. My subordinates asked him what was going on. He finally said two words, 'Crown Prince', and then..." Pei Qing stopped talking.

Han Jiu vaguely heard something, "What happened to your father?"

"The military doctor said that he might not survive tonight." Pei Qing looked at Han Jiu helplessly.

Han Jiu frowned, "Where are the general and the young master now?"

"In the military camp, my subordinates intercepted the message. The military advisor was guarding the tent at that moment, so I hurried back to the mansion to find you. Xiaotong said you were here, so I came over." Pei Qing's chest hurt so much that it hurt even to speak.

"Where is my second brother? Do you know?" Han Jiu clenched his hands into fists, and he didn't even notice his nails digging into his flesh. He used so much strength that his knuckles turned white.

"The Second Young Master is in the mansion. He probably went to bed early today because he drank a lot for the prince's birthday. I came to find you without telling anyone." I don't know if the young master can bear it, and why was he injured?

"Keep it a secret until I go to the military camp." Han Jiu strode out of the room, and Pei Qing followed closely behind.

As soon as they turned a corner, they ran into Yan Hongzhi, who looked very unhappy. Yan Hongzhi looked at Pei Qing behind Han Jiu with a cold face and said in an obviously unhappy voice, "Where are you going?"

Han Jiu was in a hurry to leave and had no patience to deal with Yan Hongzhi, who had the temper of a young master. "I have something urgent to do, so I have to leave first. We can talk about other things later." Her heart seemed to have stopped.

Han Jiu walked towards the front yard without stopping. Yan Hongzhi stopped her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you lonely on your night?" You are still thinking about running to someone else at this hour. Han Jiu, do you really think I won't be angry?

"Get out of the way." Han Jiu looked at Yan Hongzhi grimly. He had never been so angry before.

Yan Hongzhi was startled when he saw Han Jiu's expression, but he still stopped him from leaving. This man wanted to leave here and go to another man today, even if he died. Han Jiu was so angry that he wanted to use force to deal with him, but Chang Hao quickly flashed over and pulled Yan Hongzhi over and said to Han Jiu, "Third Young Master, you go first."

Yan Hongzhi was held back by Chang Hao and didn't say anything. Han Jiu left without even turning his head.

After Han Jiu left, Yan Hongzhi looked at Chang Hao coldly. If he didn't know Chang Hao very well, Yan Hongzhi would never let Han Jiu go. "You'd better give me a reasonable reason."

Chang Hao knelt on the ground and said in a serious voice, "Master, something bad happened in the Third Young Master's family. General Han Taijin and Han Xu... are dead."

"What did you say?" Yan Hongzhi asked in disbelief.

"It's true. I have been guarding outside the Third Young Master's door. When his guard came over, I intended to stop him, but the guard said that he was in a hurry to report something about the General's Mansion to his young master, so I let him in but he never left. I heard with my own ears the Third Young Master's guard say that General Han and Young Master Han were dead, so the Third Young Master was in a hurry to leave." Chang Hao was still kneeling on the ground and recounting what he had just heard.

Yan Hongzhi leaned against a pillar like a deflated ball, his whole body weak. What did he do just now? What did he say? Xiaojiu, will he ignore him from now on? What happened to him?

Chang Hao looked at his master in a daze and understood that his master must be regretting his actions just now, but regretting was useless. "Master, don't you want to go and take a look?"

"Send someone to investigate immediately. You and Bingjian set off immediately to catch up with Han Jiu. Don't let anything happen to him. I'm going somewhere." Xiao Jiu, wait for me.

When Han Jiu arrived at the military camp and saw the bodies of Han Taijin and Han Xu, he felt a sweetness in his throat and finally couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood and spat it out. Then his body swayed and he was about to fall. Pei Qing immediately stepped forward to support him, "Young Master."

Han Jiu raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. "It's okay." Then he looked at the people present. "Who is the military advisor?"

A thin man in his forties walked up to Han Jiu. Behind him stood a man Han Jiu recognized, Mu Sheng. The thin man said in a hoarse voice, "Third Young Master."

When Han Jiu knew that it was the military advisor that Mu Sheng had been following at that time, he felt a little more trust in his heart. He had heard from his elder brother that this military advisor was a good person. "Can you tell me something?" If you don't believe it, you don't know.

The military advisor did not hide anything, his expression was serious, he asked some unnecessary people to leave and then sighed, "The general came to me some time ago, he told me that the prince had come to him privately, and his words seemed to want the general to stand on the side of the prince.

It is conceivable that now, except for the Third Prince, almost all the military forces of Dayan are in the hands of the general. Whoever gets the general will almost own half of Dayan's military forces. However, the general was loyal to the emperor and did not respond.

Perhaps this incident offended the prince. One time, the prince sent someone to hand the general a letter. I don’t know what was in the letter, but later the general occasionally contacted the prince. I felt something was wrong at that time, but the general didn’t say anything and I didn’t ask.

Later, one day the eldest young master had an argument with the general. When I passed by, I heard him say that the Third Prince didn't take the incident to heart at all. How could such a small matter be blown into such a big deal?

Then he told me that the general must not continue like this, or he would be killed by the prince. I also heard the general say that he just wanted you, the third young master, to have an easier life, and he didn't want you to get involved in the dirty stuff behind the scenes.

Yesterday the prince made another appointment with the general, but this time the general told the eldest young master. The general said he would do as the eldest young master said and trust that person. I don’t know who they are talking about trusting.

But I think it should be the Third Prince. I wanted to wait for them to come back tonight and find out the truth, which would be better than worrying about them all day, but who would have thought..." The military advisor was already in tears after he finished speaking. He had followed the general for half his life and watched Han Xu grow up. Now that both of them are gone, his heart feels dead as well.

Han Jiu sat in the chair for a long time without saying a word. Her mind was blank and she had no idea what to do next. On the way here, she forced herself to stay calm and think rationally, but when things really happened, her mind was full of chaos.

Pei Qing was worried and was about to call her when hurried footsteps were heard outside the tent. Han Jiu didn't know who the person was, but she could tell that the person was wearing the clothes of the royal guards of the palace. When the person came in and saw the bodies of Han Taijin and Han Xu on the ground, he was stunned. He stood there for a long time without moving, as if he was motionless.
