16. Death of the lady

The group hurried to Huafu, and somehow there were fewer people along the way, and the closer they got to Huafu, the fewer people came, and when they reached the place where Huafu could be seen, it was empty. The guards who were originally guarding in front of the gate of Huafu were also gone, and the gate of Huafu was tightly closed, and an ominous premonition suddenly occupied Hua Xun's heart.

Hua Du walked in front of Hua Xun and stopped in front of Hua Fu. Hua Xun saw that she was not leaving, and was about to speak, but when she saw her solemn face, she stretched out her hand and pinched her fingers to calculate something, so Hua Xun did not speak. I don't know what Hua Du calculated, Hua An couldn't see her so mysterious, so he said, "What's wrong?" Just go in and have a look! ”

"There's a funeral."

Huadu spat out three words.

Funeral?! Hua Xun and Chu Yan looked at each other.

Hua Xun turned cold and said to Du Zhong behind him: "Who did you come out of?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Second Lady. Du Zhong was also taken aback, he was still fine when he went out, why was it like this?

Hua Xun was shocked and angry, and ordered: "Go open the door!" ”

Du Zhong hurriedly led the people to knock on the door.

After knocking for a while and there was no response, Du Zhong asked people to bring a ladder and prepared to force their way inside to open the door.

Hua Du shook his head and said, "No need. She went up to the door, and it seemed that it didn't take much effort, but with a gentle push, the door opened.

Hua Xun hurriedly rushed inside, Hua Du frowned lightly, stopped her, and said to Chu Yan: "I expected that the prince should be in the palace at this time, you take Wuya to bring the prince over, and also, hurry up, bring the soldiers and horses!" ”

"Why should I go with her?" Hanashi shouted.

Hua Du said in a slow tone: "This matter is about what you want, if you don't go, then you will pack up your things and leave Huafu tomorrow." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Just know to call me! Hua An muttered, pulling Chu Yan, who didn't know why, to go together, "Let's go!" What to see! ”

"You let it go......"

Hua Xun's face was a little ugly, and he hesitated: "If it is really as you and I think, then this is too crazy and bold, I don't believe they dare to do this!" ”

Hua Du didn't answer, just grabbed Hua Xun's hand and said calmly: "I thought they were just temporary, and today it seems that it should have been planned for a long time, but I'm afraid that this matter will not be so simple." Don't be afraid, follow me, and I'll protect you. She held Hua Xun's hand tightly, her expression resolute.

Hua Xun nodded, and walked inside with Du Zhong and the others.

When I entered the door, there was silence in the courtyard, and the usual maids and attendants were all gone. Flowers and plants grow quietly in their place, but they bloom beautifully in the cold of spring. Hua Xun looked around vigilantly, but followed Hua Du step by step inside.

Hua Du felt Hua Xun's nervousness, tightened his hand tightly, and secretly breathed to make Hua Xun no longer so nervous.

Walking into the hall, Hua Xun saw a woman dressed in dark green hanging from the main hall, silent.

"Motherβ€”" Hana Xun shouted, letting go of Hanato's hand and running inside.

"Mother!" Hua Xun stood in front of the eldest lady, watching her hang in the hall and dead for a long time, she was grief-stricken, tears fell, and she turned back and yelled at Du Zhong and the others who were already stunned, "Quickly save my mother!" Come on! Come on! ”

Du Zhong was so frightened that he hurriedly untied the eldest lady from the beam with a few attendants and placed it on the ground, and then was pushed away by Hua Xun and stood aside at a loss.

"Mother! Wake up! I'm asking Tang ......" The tears accumulated in Hua Xun's eyes poured down, and he trembled his hands to test the eldest lady's snort, but he felt that he was lifeless. She sat down on the ground in despair, crying out angrily, "Mother, I'm Xun'er...... Who is it?! Who is it! I'm going to avenge you......"

"You can't even take care of yourself, and you still take revenge?" The second lady's voice came from behind her.

Hua Du stared at her, and protected Hua Xun behind him without a trace.

A group of soldiers with bright swords suddenly poured out of the surroundings, and the second lady was surrounded by the crowd, holding her chin domineeringly, and slowly walked out of the crowd.

"You!" Hua Xun wiped away her tears resentfully, stood up with red eyes, and said coldly, "How dare you?" ”

"Why wouldn't I dare?" The second lady asked Hua proudly, "If you hadn't survived, your mother wouldn't have died!" Hua Xun, why are you arguing with my son? You are a girl's family, don't embroider well, read the family rules and female commandments, and what do you do if you are obsessed with power? It's good for you to be the county lord of Huai'an, but you are so close to the county lord of Anhe, do you take Ah Zhi in your eyes? ”

"So what? You sent assassins to kill me, and you killed my mother? Paving the way for your son? Hua Xun trembled with anger, and the hatred in her eyes made her eyes red.

"That's because you deserve to die!" The second lady pointed at Hua Xun and said sharply, "Hua Xun!" This flower house can't allow a woman to make waves! The prince has worked hard all his life for the Flower Mansion, how can it be ruined in the hands of your mother and daughter! I won't allow it, my son is the future master of Huafu, you mother and daughter both deserve to die! Damn it! ”

"Hahaha......" Hua Xun suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing with tears on his face. She has always speculated about Hua Yan's mother and son with the most malicious thoughts, but she didn't expect them to be more cruel than she expected! She staggered to her feet, gritted her teeth with tears in her eyes, and said, "Do you think that if you kill us, your son will be able to inherit the lord of Huafu?" You dream! ”

Hua Du grabbed Hua Xun and said coldly: "I advise you to withdraw your troops immediately, otherwise I am afraid that you will regret it." ”

"Regrets?" The second lady said with a hideous face, "When you are dying, you still talk to me like this, kill them for me!" Above! ”

The attendants who raised their knives were killed, and they rushed up with their knives, intending to cut the two into meat sauce.

With a wave of his sleeves, the petals outside the window and door turned into blades, breaking through the air, submerging into the flesh, grazing the throats of the attendants, and instantly taking the lives of the thieves. Du Zhong was dumbfounded, and quickly grabbed the knife, led the remaining few people to rush over, and soon killed with many anti-thieves.

Hua Xun stood behind Hua Du, his face bloodless, staring coldly at the second lady in the crowd. When the second lady saw her gaze, she shuddered coldly, and said sharply: "Quick! Kill them! Kill Hua Xun and reward fifty taels of silver! ”

"Who dares to touch her!" Hua Du turned around and turned his hand, thousands of flowers flew, spinning in the air, and suddenly there was a rain of flowers, and the petals cut their throats one by one, and the people who were touched immediately fell to the ground and lost their lives.

People die for money, and death does not stop those people's killing intent.

Hua Xun was escorted by Hua Du to retreat to the door, and the housekeeper Du Zhong was already injured, and blood soaked his clothes.

Retreating to the middle of the courtyard, the archers who were in ambush on the roof were immediately exhausted, drawing their bows and strings, preparing to shoot Hua Du and Hua Xun when the second lady gave an order.

"These are all soldiers and horses in the army, how can you transfer these people!" Hua Xun glared angrily, watching the arrows glitter in the sunlight.

"You don't care how I mobilize these people, none of you want to leave today!"

Hua Du put his fingers together, the bottom of his eyes was permeated with cold, buckled Hua Xun's waist, his long sleeves flicked, rolled up a gust of flower wind, and the petals flew all over the sky, blocking her and Hua Xun's figure, everyone was blown by the wind and couldn't open their eyes, and covered their faces with their sleeves, and waited until the wind gradually became smaller, and then opened their eyes to see that the two people who were surrounded were gone, and the second lady who was protected behind the crowd was lying upright on the ground, dead and blind.

The archers were shocked, and searched everywhere for Huadu and Huaxun, but still found nothing.

At this time, Chu Yan surrounded the Hua Mansion with a large number of men and horses, and Hua Junhou and Taishou also followed, Hua Junhou pointed at the archers on the roof with an angry face and said, "Do you want to do the opposite?" ”

None of the archers nor the chamberlains dared to act rashly.

Chu Yan snorted coldly: "Presumptuous! The lord of the mansion is here, and you still dare to commit murder! Are you really going to rebel? Put down your bow and arrows for me, and open the door!" ”

"Those who disarm will not be killed!" Taishou shouted.

So some of them laid down their blades, and one after another the archers laid down their weapons and came down to their knees in surrender.

The door of the mansion was opened, Chu Yan and Hua An rushed in first, seeing the petals and messy scenes all over the ground, as well as a corpse, Chu Yan only felt that something was wrong.

Hua Junhou came in, and when he saw this scene, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, but he was supported by the Taishou, and he barely stood firm.

"Check - give me a thorough investigation!" Hua Junhou trembled with anger.

"Report to the prince, the eldest lady and the second lady have ...... Already went. Du Zhong was helped by the attendant to kneel down in front of Hua Junhou, and the old tears were crossed.

Hua Junhou looked shocked, his face turned pale, and he asked in disbelief: "What did you say?" ”

Du Zhong knew that if this matter was really calculated, he was destined to be to blame for his dereliction of duty as a housekeeper and let things turn out like this. He was also scared in his heart, but now he could only beg the prince to show mercy and spare his family. He kowtowed and said: "The old slave is not effective in protecting the master, there is a tragedy today, the old slave is guilty, please ask the master to surrender!" ”

Hua Junhou wanted to speak, but Chu Yan interrupted him coldly: "Your sin will be discussed later, what about the county lord and the Hua family?" Where's Childe? ”

"This ......" Du Zhong hesitated for a while, and when he saw that the prince seemed to be about to get angry, he hurriedly said, "A gust of wind blew just now, and the old slave was blinded, and the little master was rescued by the flowers......

"Yo, it's gone after the wind blows, you think the two of you are goblins?" Hua An didn't seem to feel that it was chaotic enough, and fanned the flames and said, "Surrounded by this chaotic army, dozens of archers are besieged to the death, why did two weak women who were powerless run away?" Could it be ......?"

"Flower crow, stop it!" Chu Yan's eyebrows were already furrowed, and he said with a slightly angry expression, "What kind of place is this, let you talk nonsense!" ”

"Eh!" Hua An pointed at Chu Yan, unconvinced.

Chu Yan had no intention of arguing with her, turned to Taishou and ordered: "Arrest this group of rebellious ministers and thieves and put them in prison!" Torture me, and you must ask who the mastermind is! Also, you, take someone to immediately inform the city gate to be closed, and no one is allowed to travel, until you find the county lord and Hua Jieyu to make sure that they are unharmed! And Steward Du, please go find Gongzi Yan......"

Hua Junhou's face was sad, and he said to Du Zhong: "Take the two ladies ...... Let's take care of the aftermath. If you can't find Childe this time, you don't have to come back, just apologize for yourself! ”

Hua An, who was standing on the side watching Chu Yan deal with things, was amazed, and when she saw Chu Yan holding a sword and was about to take someone out to find Hua to consult them, she hurriedly shouted: "Eh! I'll go too! I'll go too! I have a way to find the flower solution! ”
