My eunuch An is a yandere
Chapter 73: Time to log off
In the densely vegetated woods, the sun shines through the layers of leaves, casting specks of light that are dim and unclear here.
There are no existing roads here, and all you see is green. After looking at it for a long time, you will feel as if you are in another world. I know I should be on guard, but I feel relaxed unconsciously.
The air was filled with dampness, and a faint scent of air. An Jiu raised his scarf to cover his nose, and a refreshing scent of camphor reached him, bringing him back to clarity.
Tao Fang and others followed suit and immediately fixed their scarves on their faces.
"Commander-in-Chief, there is miasma here. We should not stay here for long."
"That's not speed."
An Jiu came here to chase Huo Lou. This time they set out overnight without any rest, but they still couldn't find the person.
At this point, Huo Lou was like a ghost, and there was no way to find out where he was.
An Jiu had a vague suspicion that this was the place Huo Lou really wanted to go. He was just trying to hide his true identity by parading through the streets.
There are only a dozen or so scattered households in this place, and I'm afraid they are all from Huolou.
They have already alerted the enemy and must either retreat or cut the Gordian knot.
Anjiu chose the latter.
Sure enough, after pretending to leave, he waited for someone to sneak into the woods, probably to tip off someone.
So a group of people followed the man.
However, this forest is a dense forest with complex terrain and is unfathomable. If you are not careful, you will lose track of it.
Fortunately, there is a tracking expert in the team. If he is given some time, he will find the right direction.
As expected, as soon as An Jiu finished speaking, Wang Qing pointed everyone in a direction.
There was indeed an inconspicuous footprint there.
The chase lasted from early morning until noon, and Anjiu finally caught the man who was eating dry food and taking a rest.
"Why are you arresting me?"
The seemingly honest man struggled desperately and shouted loudly.
An Jiu waved his hand, and a man from Yanwuwei blocked the man's mouth.
"Why are you shouting so loudly?"
An Jiu walked slowly in square steps, came in front of the person, pinched the other person's chin with one hand, looked at the other person's panic eyes, and chuckled.
"Is this close to your hinterland? Will there be people patrolling nearby?"
After hearing An Jiu's words, the man widened his eyes and his eyeballs trembled slightly, obviously he was hit by the words.
The next second, Anjiu slashed the man's neck with his knife. A meter-high column of blood spurted out from the artery and sprayed into the air. Anjiu took out a piece of silk to wipe his bloody fingers and gave a nonchalant instruction.
"Hide it."
So the group divided the work clearly: they dragged the body away and covered it with branches, cleaned up the footprints, falsified the scene, and quickly hid themselves, waiting for the patrol to arrive.
The whole process took no more than an incense stick of time. When the two patrolmen came over and looked at the bloodstains and animal footprints on the ground, one of them said, "It's nothing unusual."
"See, I told you you heard wrongly. There are many wild animals in this forest. It's obvious that a ferocious beast has just been here. Let's leave quickly."
After saying this, he pushed his accomplice away quickly.
But where else can the two of them be found?
The two hidden weapons pierced into the eyes of the two men at the same time, and they both fell to the ground after a scream.
Tao Fang and a man of similar stature came out, took off their clothes and put them on themselves.
An Jiu picked up the weapon on the ground, exuding a cold murderous intent.
These are military weapons. How could two patrolmen obtain them? Could it be that Huo Lou and the military had some connection?
But he was only here to serve as an inspector and had no need to deal with the army.
Tao Fang obviously also realized that something was wrong here.
"Commander-in-Chief, this isn't right. Should we report this to the court?"
If Huo Lou had any contact with the army, then they alone would not be able to kill this person.
"No rush, let's go check it out first. Even if there's something wrong, he'll have to leave here anyway, so we'll take action then. Remember, our first priority is to kill Huo Lou."
No matter what Huo Lou was planning, he was determined to kill him this time, even if it affected the future trend.
In the palace, Xiao Duo woke up from a nightmare again.
Recently he has been suffering from night sweats and nightmares, and his sleep quality is extremely poor. The imperial physician said that he is overly worried and needs to rest and not have sex.
After taking a sip of the warm water brought by the palace maid, Xiao Duo lay back down.
The imperial physician's words were euphemistic, but Xiao Duo knew that he had indeed become much crazier in his sexual life recently compared to previous years.
It’s all because of the children.
After rebirth, Xiao Duo made up for many regrets of his previous life in political affairs, but he was too emotional when it came to his children.
He always felt that the eldest and second oldest sons were still young, and he shouldn't use thunder-like methods to deal with them. As a result, the second oldest son died tragically, which was even more pitiful than in the previous life.
He wanted to teach the prince earlier, but it resulted in him not even getting what an ordinary prince should enjoy.
The current situation seems to be a dead end.
An eldest son who was led by his mother's family by the nose, and a legitimate son who seemed to be slow in growth. This forced him to consider having another child.
Although he wanted to correct everything, reality pushed him to make more choices that were completely different from his previous life.
So he picked the concubines more often.
I don’t know if this is the reason why something is wrong with my body.
The warnings from his body frightened him, but the imperial physician said there was nothing seriously wrong with him. However, he knew his body best, and it was indeed different from his previous life.
Were the people in the Imperial Hospital useless, or were they deceiving him? Because he was reborn, at this point, he saw everyone as reborn.
Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, Xiao Duo recalled his nightmare. It wouldn't be accurate to call it a nightmare; it was more like the day in his previous life when Huo Lou led his troops to force the emperor to abdicate.
He floated above the imperial palace, watching Huo Lou rush into the Golden Palace, search for the imperial seal in vain, then rush into the Kunning Palace and capture the little emperor.
Bai Ningwei escaped under the protection of An Jiu and the other eunuchs.
He was floating in the air, watching his son being controlled by Huo Lou's men, but he didn't make any further moves. He knew Huo Lou was trying to use the emperor to control the princes, and his soul trembled with anger, but he was helpless.
Fortunately, his son was a responsible person and did not panic, unlike that fool Bai Ningwei, who trusted others easily and had the nerve to flee in a hurry, but in the end she was unable to escape.
Huo Lou came back holding her body, and actually forced his son to posthumously confer the title of Empress Xiaozhen Shunyi on this woman. He was so angry that he wanted to tear the couple apart.
Although the two of them had no substantial relationship, Bai Ningwei and he had both vowed to be together for life, so how could she still be chaste?
The only thing that made him feel relieved was that Bai Ningwei, who had entered the secret escape passage but still failed to escape, was betrayed by her personal maid.
Moreover, the wound on Bai Ningwei's neck forced Huo Cheng's plans to stop at clearing the court of corrupt officials.
The crime of beheading the Queen Mother and leaving her body intact was enough to bring him infamy.
When the young emperor finally took power, Huo Cheng wanted to use the secret passage to force the emperor to abdicate and seize power again, but he was reported to the police and was completely removed from the throne.
This is called, justice is clear, retribution will come.
Recalling the unpleasant memories of his previous life, Xiao Duo felt he should leave a secret decree for his brother, Prince Liang. After he passed away and Bai Ningwei raised the young emperor and took over the government, he should be given a cup of poisoned wine and buried in the imperial mausoleum.
And then there was Gualü. Huolou was probably dead by now, so Gualü shouldn't be alive either.
Bai Ningwei raised this traitorous creature, and perhaps in this life she would even reveal the secret escape route to her. Was his royal escape route some sort of Qianmen Street? Anyone could go in and take a stroll.
