Chapter 101: Feet in the Grass
(Thanks to the reader "twomix560" for the red tip.) )
Afterwards, the showdown in the deserted garden was blown to the sky, and the more the parties involved, the more convincing they became, portraying the melee as a tragic battle that had never been seen before, with countless casualties and bloodstained weeds, and a few days later, the flowers that bloomed on that land were all red......
Han Ruzi will feel ridiculous about these rumors, but he did feel real tension at that time.
Du Chuanyun captured Cui Teng alive, it is not difficult at all, the second son of the Cui family didn't think that anyone would really dare to attack him, standing on the base of the pavilion, while directing the martial artists and servants to fight, while scolding Chai Yun, the martial artists also had the same idea, so they only cared about performing hard, and did not deliberately protect the master.
Du Chuanyun went around to the back of the pavilion, suddenly jumped out, knocked down Cui Teng, rolled around on the ground with him, and then ran into the grass with him on his shoulder.
Things happened too fast, Cui Teng didn't resist, he didn't even shout, the surrounding martial artists and servants didn't even notice the abnormality, only Chai Yun saw this scene, and couldn't help laughing, "Cui Teng, it fell into my hands today, see if you dare to be arrogant!" ”
Several martial artists on both sides were not serious about fighting, they were busy arranging flowers, hearing Chai Xiaohou's words, they looked at each other, and they were all taken aback, the martial artists of the Cui family hurriedly chased after them, and the martial artists of the Chai family retreated to protect their masters.
"What are you doing here? Don't chase it quickly, you can't let Cui Teng be taken away! Chai Yun said angrily.
Two martial artists left, and one insisted on staying, just in case.
If the previous chaos was tacitly tacitly acknowledged, since Cui Teng was arrested, the chaos has gotten out of control. Few people saw the scene. Rumor has it that it is jumping through the grass like locusts. quickly changed from "Cui Teng was arrested" to "Cui Teng was killed". Many of Chai Yun's group had heard of the live capture plan in advance, and at this time, they inexplicably felt that Chai Xiaohou might make a murderous move.
Han Ruzi and the King of the East China Sea ran separately, and wherever they went, they heard someone shouting "Cui Ergongzi is dead", and couldn't help but be shocked, if this matter is true, Du Chuanyun can cause a lot of trouble.
Han Ruzi wanted to return to the open space by the pavilion, but somehow ran to the wall and was about to turn around. A soft cry came from a large tree, "Hey, I'm here." ”
Du Chuanyun took his prey to a high place like a leopard, and at this time he was squatting on a branch and beckoning to Hou.
"Cui Teng......" Han Ruzi was about to ask a question, when he heard a shout nearby, he hurriedly ran behind the tree and climbed up carefully.
Du Chuanyun pulled the tired Hou up and praised: "My skills are very flexible, you can learn light skills from me in the future." ”
Han Ruzi smiled, didn't dare to move on the branches, and could only turn his head to watch. It wasn't until I looked up that I saw Cui Teng, who was sitting on a higher branch. With his hands on the back of his hands, he was probably tied up, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, angry and frightened, and his face was blue and unsettled.
"Give him to Chai Yun." Han Ruzi said that he was relieved to see that Cui Teng was not dead.
"Don't worry, scare him a little longer...... Someone came over. Du Chuanyun pointed into the distance.
"Alright, that's enough, let them save themselves, let's go." Han Ruzi looked up at Cui Teng again, thinking that he would say a few words to him, but he felt that it was unnecessary, so he slowly went down the trunk.
Du Chuanyun hadn't played enough, but he couldn't disobey the order, so he had to jump up and stand on the ground to wait for the next step.
"Can they save Cui Teng?" Han Ruzi looked up, and Cui Teng's position was not short.
"There are so many people, and the ladder also brought him down." Du Chuanyun was not worried at all, he had already observed on the tree, and took the lead to walk towards the place where no one was, "It is so simple, I have prepared carefully, Chai Xiaohou will give us silver, right?" ”
"Did he see you take Cui Teng?"
"See."
"That'll do." Han Ruzi believed that Chai Yun would not be in arrears, and he didn't care about this matter at this time, the performance of the King of the East China Sea today made him confused, and he hesitated in his heart whether to go to tonight's appointment.
Du Chuanyun in front of him stopped, and Han Ruzi almost bumped into it, "What's wrong?" ”
"Shh
Han Ruzi thought that Du Chuanyun had discovered the others, and leaned forward to look forward, and his heart shook violently.
A pair of human feet peeked out of the grass.
Du Chuanyun turned his head to take a look, and saw that the tired Hou was not particularly frightened, and said, "Go and see, is there really someone who is fighting and killing someone?" ”
Han Ruzi felt uneasy, but still followed Du Chuanyun over.
On the grass lay a neatly dressed young man, but the weeds below him were red with blood.
"Who is this? It's not like a martial artist or a servant, and it's not like the guy Chai Yun invited. Du Chuanyun asked in surprise.
Han Ruzi's heart was raised, this was a nonsense, it shouldn't be a dead person, but now there was a corpse in front of him, and he felt familiar, he couldn't help but take a step forward, bend down to take a closer look, that face had lost its vitality, his lips were slightly open, and his eyes were empty.
Han Ruzi had seen a dead man, but it was the first time he saw the eyes of a dead man, and he only felt a chill in his body, and then finally recognized the identity of the deceased, "He is the proton of the King of the Huns." ”
"What's a proton?"
"The prince sent by the king of the Huns to Dachu as a hostage."
"The Huns, it doesn't look like ...... That's okay, the Huns are all bad, let's die if they die. ”
Han Ruzi shook his head, "It's a little wrong, do you see if he's really dead?" "Han Ruzi was bold enough, and he didn't dare to get too close to the corpse.
Du Chuanyun walked over, stretched out his hand to probe his snort, leaned on his chest and listened for a while, then raised his head and said, "It's dead." ”
There was a commotion nearby, Han Ruzi signaled Du Chuanyun not to squeak, and both of them squatted on the ground, but if the comers approached, they could still be found.
"I've found the second son, he's not dead yet!" Someone shouted, and the commotion faded away.
Han Ruzi let out a sigh of relief.
Du Chuanyun was inexplicable, "You killed the person?" ”
"Of course not."
"So what are you nervous about? Let's go, let someone else dispose of the corpse. ”
Han Ruzi didn't move, thought for a while, and whispered, "Something is wrong." ”
"What's wrong? These guys don't know how to fight at all, and someone can't make a mistake. ”
"No, there are no signs of a fight nearby, the body was moved from somewhere else."
"That's none of your business." Du Chuanyun usually likes to cause trouble the most, but at this time he feels tired and troublesome.
The more Han Ruzi thought about it, the more wrong it became, he remembered this Xiongnu prince, who used to be a chamberlain in the palace, and had a fight with Zhang Yanghao, as a proton, he was very isolated in the capital, and it was impossible to be invited to participate in the battle between Chai Yun and Cui Teng, but now he died here for no reason, which was very suspicious.
"Remove the body and hide it first." Han Ruzi said.
Du Chuanyun's eyes widened, "You ......"
"Hurry up, there's no time to explain." Han Ruzi's heart was originally heavy, and he was even more suspicious after being the abolished emperor, the identity of the deceased was special, Da Chu and the Xiongnu were at war, he didn't want to cause trouble at this time, and even had a feeling that the corpse thrower chose this time, maybe it was to frame the abolished emperor.
"Where are you hiding? It's impossible for us to carry the corpse around. Du Chuanyun looked left and right, and suddenly the cat's waist ran into the grass, and came back after a while, "I'm so lucky, there is a dry well nearby, throw it in, no one will be able to find it for a while." ”
Du Chuanyun grabbed the corpse's hands, raised his head and said to the tired marquis: "Help, I can't do it alone." ”
Han Ruzi hoped that Du Chuanyun could carry the body alone, but he had no choice but to step forward to help and grab his feet.
The two of them carried the corpse quietly, and when they heard the shouts from far and near, they stopped and waited for a while, but fortunately, Cui Teng attracted the attention of everyone in the garden, and no one came here for a while.
The dry well was not far away, and the two threw the corpse into it, but there was nothing to cover nearby, anyway, the well was dark and dark, and there was nothing unusual to see from above.
"Thankfully, we found the body first." Han Ruzi said that he had only walked a short distance, and he had exhausted his strength and struggled to get up, intending to leave the land of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"We're walking on one of the paths out of the park, and it's likely that there will be more people walking later, what about the bloodstains?" Du Chuanyun is more careful about this kind of thing.
"No matter, as long as the body is not found today."
The shouts in the distance became louder, and Han Ruzi and Du Chuanyun left in a hurry, without witnessing what was going on behind.
That night, Han Ruzi held back his curiosity and did not go to see the King of the East China Sea. As a deposed emperor, it's okay to mess around, at most he has the title of "faint king", but if he accidentally gets involved in the conspiracy of the court, it is a dead end.
Cui Xiaojun noticed the strangeness of the tired marquis, but he didn't ask more.
Early the next morning, Chai Yun sent someone to invite Ti Hou.
Han Ruzi and Du Chuanyun went together, Chai Yun personally went out of the house to greet him, and he was overjoyed, "Yesterday, the two of you left too early, and I didn't see Cui Teng's ugly state, he was scared and cried, crying in public, and laughed at me to death." He also said that he wanted Mrs. Cui to kill you and me and avenge him, but I know that he didn't dare to talk about it to his family at all, haha......"
Chai Yun called a few of his best friends to a banquet, and everyone at the banquet was full of generosity, as if they had just returned from the battlefield, boasting of their courage and laughing at the cowardice of the enemy.
Someone mentioned the bloodstain, but in a series of exaggerated rumors, the real bloodstain was not noticed.
After three rounds of drinking, Chai Yun leaned into the ear of the tired marquis and whispered: "The silver has been sent to the house, one or two is not a lot." ”
Han Ruzi smiled, Chai Yun himself didn't have much money, he set up a gambling game, winning or losing only depends on whether Tihou's subordinates dare to capture Cui Teng alive, he won, enough to pay 60,000 taels of silver.
"Let's hang out together tonight." Chai Yun smiled and sent out an invitation.
"What to play?"
Chai Yun laughed, "Come with me, it will definitely make you have fun." ”
Han Ruzi wanted to refuse, but Zhang Yanghao came over to toast, and said loudly with the strength of the wine: "Chai Xiaohou, you can't forget me when you go out to play, I invited you to be tired." ”
"All go, all go!" Chai Yun said boldly, attracting a cheer.
Han Ruzi smiled and raised his glass, which was considered to be a promise, but his eyes often stared at Zhang Yanghao, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that the death of the Xiongnu proton was related to this person, but he didn't understand what conspiracy was hidden behind this.
