Chapter 30: The Kenmuin Incident (1)
Chu Yueqing hurriedly walked on the way to Qinwu Academy, and the words that Dongmei said when she left echoed in his mind.
Master Ding is the first guard of the imperial city and the third ranked swordsman in the rivers and lakes. What is the reason why such a person is willing to stay by Xuanyuan Hao's side?
It was already dark, and there were no signs of pedestrians on the gravel-paved path. Xia Xiang carried the wooden lamp by her side, "Princess, be careful. ”
The trail is lined with trees on both sides, but it's late autumn. The trees on both sides have fallen into dead branches, and they stand quietly. A gust of wind blew, and the road illuminated by the wooden lamp flashed with swaying dead branches, like ghosts and claws. The two little maids behind her shrank and walked, their eyes kept glancing around, one of them couldn't help shouting "Princess~", and the other hurriedly pulled down her sleeve and signaled her not to speak.
Chu Yueqing stopped and looked at them, "What's wrong?" ”。
Although it was dark now, they were actually in their own house, and the four of them walked together. Chu Yueqing didn't know what they were afraid of.
"Back to the princess, Xiaomei has always been timid, I hope the princess will forgive her sins."
"Really, Xiaomei?" Chu Yueqing asked the person who had just called out to stop her.
The little brow shrunk to his knees on the gravel-covered ground, and the silent path creaked. Xiao Mei couldn't care about the pain in her legs, and kept kowtowing to Chu Yueqing, "Princess, spare the slave." Slaves and maids can't go to Qinwuyuan, slaves and maids can't go..."
Chu Yueqing walked over and helped her up, "Don't knock again, your body is not your own." Why did you sue me? Why can't you go to Kenwuin? ”
The other maid glanced at Chu Yueqing with a bright eye, and then glanced at Xiao Mei.
"Princess, it's all the slave's fault, and it has nothing to do with Sister Adian. If you want to kill me, kill me~" The girl named Xiaomei said, tears already falling.
Intuition told Chu Yueqing, this maid named Xiaomei, had a big secret, "You say, I won't kill you." ”
As a good young man of the motherland who is physically and mentally healthy, how can she kill people at every turn!
"Princess, the slave maid accidentally broke into the Qinwu Academy last winter, but she didn't bother to see it~" Xiaomei finished talking about the whole thing intermittently, and she never dared to look up at Chu Yueqing with a face, so Chu Yueqing couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false?
She accidentally broke into the Qinwu Academy by mistake, and then Xuanyuan Hao said that he wanted to kill her. Later, it was the one named Master Ding who interceded for her, so that she could leave alive.
"Are you talking nonsense, the prince obviously only lived in this mansion this year." Chu Yueqing didn't want to believe what the maid Xiaomei said, but her previous appearance didn't seem to be fake. Moreover, how could Xuanyuan Hao say such a thing!
"Princess," Adian knelt on the ground, "the slave is willing to testify, and what Xiaomei said is true." And the slave maid and Xiaomei were bought into the palace three years ago, and at that time, the slaves and maids saw the prince come to the mansion. It's just that the prince usually doesn't live in the palace, and only stays in Qinwu Academy for a period of time every winter. If the princess does not believe these things. You can ask the steward of the courtyard or the auspicious father-in-law, and the slave will not dare to lie. ”
Adian's words were clear, reasonable, and well-founded, which made Chu Yueqing even more puzzled.
"All right, get up." Chu Yueqing looked at the dead branches on both sides of the road, "Whether it's true or not, let's go to Qinwu Academy first." ”
I wish she was dreaming!
Xiaomei clasped her hands tightly, but she didn't dare to fall with tears in her eyes. Chu Yueqing stopped, "Don't cry." ”
The sobs behind him stopped abruptly.
Chu Yueqing strode towards Qinwu Academy, but she was actually nervous. I was so nervous that my breathing slowed down.
Finally seeing the lights of the Qinwu Academy, Chu Yueqing's extremely fast pace slowed down. What is she in such a hurry for?! At first, she was curious about Master Ding, and she also wanted to see if there were really martial arts and light skills in this world? But halfway through, she heard another side of Xuanyuan Hao, she didn't know if it was true or not? She wanted to confirm the truth of the matter, or she wanted to prove that Xuanyuan Hao would not be such a cruel person. But what if the outcome wasn't what she wanted?
Xia Xiang was holding the Mulong lamp, her eyes flashed with boredom, pretended! It's not that I don't dare to go!
Chu Yueqing paused and stepped out again. Although they have known each other for a few days, Xuanyuan Hao is also a person who shares the bed with her, and she has to believe him! It's obviously a cute and handsome older young man!
Approaching the arched courtyard gate of Qinwu Courtyard, Chu Yueqing heard the sound of ping-pong inside, and felt that the atmosphere was not quite right!
"Turn the lights out." Chu Yueqing pointed to the shiny wooden lantern and cautiously approached the Qinwu Academy.
Ding Yi had already heard the footsteps outside the hospital, and he was shocked. The shot is also more ruthless and fast, but the enemy in front of him is not easy to deal with, he feels that the strength of the other party this time should not be underestimated, he has been fighting with this person for half an hour, and he has not even asked for any benefit. I just hope that the person who comes is not the enemy's help.
Just for a moment, the man took advantage of Ding Yi's distraction and stabbed Ding Yi in the throat with a sword. Ding Yi found that he couldn't dodge, so he had to lean back and throw the sword in his hand forward at a very fast speed.
The man snorted, his eyes becoming more and more gloomy. The left rib that was stabbed was gurgling with blood, but he didn't mean to stop at all, and his body attacked Ding Yi faster.
It wasn't the first time Xuanyuan Hao had been attacked, although he himself couldn't remember it all now. But this did not prevent the people around him from doing a good job of protecting him. Usually, when Xuanyuan Hao comes to Qinwu Academy, he will bring guards with him, and this time is no exception. Eight guards formed a circle, well-trained and seemingly impregnable, and for a long time those who sneaked up could not penetrate.
However, this sneak attack was clearly well planned, and the enemy launched a dense and urgent attack on the eight people, and soon some people were injured.
"Hachi," the person next to him shouted in a low voice, but the sword in his hand was not slow. At such a moment, slowness is equal to death.
"Nothing." The man named Hachi endured the pain and continued to slash at the surging man in black. But because of the injury, the movement of his hand was also much slower, and he suffered new injuries again and again.
Xuanyuan Hao listened to the sound of weapons colliding in the cold silence around him, and looked at the blood that was constantly sprayed on the ground, and the originally clean stone ground had been stained with puddles of blood. A similar scene flashed through his mind, causing him to have a splitting headache.
The martial arts of the eight people who protect are not low, but the enemy is menacing, constantly fighting wheel battles, and while killing one person, there will be a group of people attacking you.
Half an hour later, they were all wounded. The body has also begun to fail, and the formation of eight people has shown a declining trend. But Master Ding was entangled again and couldn't come over to help.
This is what Chu Yueqing saw with his probe, and the blue-gray stone slab ground was dyed blood-red. There were all kinds of miserable men in black lying on the ground.
Chu Yueqing couldn't see Xuanyuan Hao or Xiao Xiangzi, he only saw a group of black-clothed people forming a circle and attacking a place, and there were two people on the other side of the courtyard who were fighting equally. All she could see was the shadows of the two and the blood splattering in the air. (To be continued)
