Chapter 23: Accidents
Chun Yu's mind went blank, and he slowly walked out of the shade behind the door like a puppet, and the atmosphere of the room became strange.
The maid stared at it for a long time, and finally determined that this was a big living person who looked like a scholar, not a fierce god, and her hanging heart was put down.
The Huo Fu messenger was drunk and confused, but he was not afraid, but he didn't understand how a scholar could appear in the house.
His mouth was full of wine, and he straightened his neck and shouted, "What are you, bold." After saying that, he thought that this man was air, and ignored it, turned and staggered to the maid.
The maid avoided him, flashed left and right, and turned behind Chun Yuji.
The Huofu messenger was drunk and hazy, pointed at Chun Yu and shouted, "You dodge."
Chun Yuji also wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, but looking at the drunken and ugly state, and some sympathy for the maid, he hesitated in his heart, and stood still for a while.
The maid hid behind him, and the messenger of Huofu pounced, and she circled around Chun Yu a few times. The Huofu messenger pounced a few times, but was blocked by Chun Yuji, and he was also annoyed, so he raised his fist and hit him.
Chun Yu was beaten a few times, feeling that the movement was a little big, he was both panicked and scared, and thought that he should leave this place of right and wrong quickly, so he subconsciously took out his sword and pointed at the Huofu messenger, and whispered threateningly, "Don't come, don't come", and moved to the door.
He thought that the Huofu messenger would be afraid to retreat when he saw the sword, but at this time, the Huofu messenger was dizzy, his hands and feet didn't obey the call, who would care about his threat, and his drunken hands just beat indiscriminately.
Chun Yuji didn't want to really hurt him, so he had to retreat and unexpectedly leaned on a soft body. He instinctively took a step forward, how did he think that the soles of his feet did not know whether they stumbled or slipped, and one of them actually rushed forward, holding a sharp sword and stabbing into the chest of the messenger of Huofu.
The Huo Fu messenger snorted and slowly knelt down.
Chun Yuji was so frightened that he quickly drew his sword and retreated again and again.
The man's body went limp, and he fell to his knees with a thud in front of him, and after a few convulsions, he did not move, and a pool of red blood slowly overflowed.
Chun Yu was a little stunned, and he didn't dare to look again, stumbling out of the house, and slumped in the corner.
He felt tightness in his chest and was short of breath, so he stroked his chest and gasped, and kept shouting in his heart: "I have killed, I have killed." โ
After a long time, he calmed down a little, raised his head, and was so surprised that there was a figure in front of him, and he jumped up again in fright, holding his sword in both hands, and couldn't stop trembling. When he saw that it was the maid, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. After relieving himself, he asked, "Girl, why are you here?" โ
The maid whispered, "You killed the guests of the Taishou." โ
Chun Yuji hurriedly defended: "I didn't kill it on purpose, it was an accident, an accident." โ
The maid said, "Whether it was intentional or accidental, the man died." Glimpsing the sword in his hand faintly glowing with cold light, but there was no trace of blood, he secretly praised, what a sharp sword.
Chun Yuji looked in a trance, staring helplessly into the distance, shaking his head and sighing.
At this time, the two heard a chaotic footsteps and went straight to the backyard. Chun Yuji was still stunned, and the maid pulled him up and whispered, "Let's go." โ
His nerves were already tense, and when he heard the word "go quickly", he didn't hesitate, jumped up with his sword in the sheath, and ran over the wall.
I don't know how long he ran, but he felt that he was already far away from the Taishou Mansion, so he stopped and looked around, it seemed to be a small hill overgrown with weeds and trees.
There were a few stars twinkling in the night sky, the mountain breeze was cool, and the autumn insects chirped intermittently. He found a leeward ditch and curled up into the grass, and fatigue came over him.
He had experienced too many things this night, and he was also physically and mentally exhausted, so he silently said that it would be a nightmare.
In the early morning, Chun Yuji was awakened by the crisp sound of birdsong, and when he opened his eyes, the sky was so blue that there was no trace of floating, and the grass around him was blown by the mountain breeze, rippling like water waves. A drop of dew fell to his lips and he licked it, cool.
He lay on his back, plucked a grass core and put it in his mouth, put his hands on the back of his head, and chewed lazily.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, standing against the light, with a graceful posture, although his eyebrows were not clear, he could feel a clear gaze.
He was surprised in his heart, so he propped himself up, blinked his eyes a few times, and vaguely felt that the girl standing in front of him looked like the maid of the Taishou Mansion last night.
The girl pursed her lips, narrowed her charming eyes, and looked at him with a smile. He thought it was an illusion, so he sat up and rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked again, it was still the pretty maid.
The maid said, "Little girl, ask if your son is well." โ
Chun Yu jumped up a few times, and said politely: "Xiaosheng's surname is Chun Yu's name, ask the girl how she is doing." โ
Qi Hua smiled and said angrily, "You ran so fast last night." โ
Chun Yu's face turned red all of a sudden, and he couldn't speak.
Qihua looked at him for a while, and then said: "Although you are wooden, your hands and feet are also flexible, such a high wall can be climbed over at once. โ
Chun Yu scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I studied martial arts, and I was in a hurry at that time, so I turned over somehow." โ
Qihua suddenly realized: "This is what people often say's dog jumping over the wall'." โ
Chun Yu nodded several times: "That's the case." โ
Qihua listened to it funny, glanced at him, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile.
Chun Yuji came back to his senses, couldn't cry or laugh, raised his head and pretended to look at the sky.
Qihua looked at him like this, he was amused in his heart, and he didn't speak, just looked at him.
Chun Yuji became more and more cramped, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he asked, "Where did you go later?" โ
Qihua said: "You ran so fast, I couldn't catch up, so I had to hide first, and then go out of the city, and I saw you here." โ
Chun Yuji heard that she didn't mean to blame, so he wanted to speak, and found that she looked good when she smiled, and couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, it was already dawn, and Qihua asked, "Where are you going?" โ
Chun Yu said: "Go to Chang'an." โ
Qihua clapped his hands happily and said, "I also want to go to Chang'an, I have an aunt in Chang'an." โ
Chun Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Qihua, I am a suspect in the imperial court, and now I am going to the Chang'an Tingwei Mansion to await trial." โ
"I heard that there are ten suspects in the county prison who went to Chang'an to bring them to justice, so you are also among them." Qihua exclaimed in surprise.
"yes, so you can't go with me."
Qihua just looked at him silently and didn't say anything. Chun Yu was disturbed by this soft gaze, turned his face sideways to avoid her gaze, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's go to Chang'an together." โ
Qihua said hatefully: "You killed the messenger of Nahuo Mansion, do I still have a way to live?" If I don't follow you, where do you say I'm going? โ
Chun Yuji's right hand reached into the sleeve of his left hand, and after fumbling for a while, the horseshoe gold that Doctor Hua gave him was still in it, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Qihua's eyes widened and he asked curiously, "What are you doing?" โ
Chun Yuji replied honestly: "I estimate whether the two of us going to Chang'an are enough." โ
Hearing this, Qi Hua smiled and bent over, then turned up and said coquettishly: "Who is with you is the two of us, I have my own entanglement." โ

That night, there was chaos in the Taishou Mansion for a while. The servants of the official residence heard an unusual noise in the backyard, so they went in to inspect it, and found that the messenger of the Huo Mansion was lying in a pool of blood, no longer breathing.
Pham Minh Woo and Ren Xuan hurried over when they heard the news. Pham Minh Woo squatted down to examine the wound and asked what was missing in the room. once searched around with one arrow, and replied that the Qingyu Sword was missing.
Fan Mingyou stood up and said: "He was stabbed to death by the Qing Yu Sword, you see that this wound is tightened, the blood is in the body, and the sword pierces the heart very quickly." โ
Zeng Yijian said: "It's a few kills, it should be here to find silk paintings." โ
Fan Mingyou nodded, but he was also a little puzzled, feeling that Chun Yu was not a bloodthirsty person, and he would not kill the Huofu messenger in order to find a painting.
Ren Xuan hadn't recovered from his panic yet, and muttered incoherently: "What to do, what to do."
Fan Minh You comforted: "Taishou don't need to panic. โ
"It's the messenger of Huo Mansion who died, Huo Mansion is investigated, what can I do." Ren Xuan still couldn't help but tremble.
Pham Minh Woo didn't care: "It's nothing remarkable. This person is just the son of Huo Yu's nursing mother, and if he dies, he will die, so you can bury him. โ
Only then did Ren Xuan settle down. He didn't have a good impression of the Huo Mansion messenger, and when he heard Fan Mingyou say this, he ordered the servants to clean up the backyard.
The two returned to the middle hall and sat down, the lights were dark, and Fan Mingyou was silent, his hair crooked. Ren Xuan originally wanted to talk to him, but when he saw this, he gave up and stayed in a daze with him.
Fan Mingyou seemed to understand something, called Zeng Yijian and others in, and ordered: "You wait for dawn to set off, there are only a few ways to go to Chang'an from here, you go separately to chase, once you catch up with Chun Yuji, follow it, if you have to do it, you are not allowed to hurt." โ
Zeng Yijian hesitated for a moment and said, "There are a few brothers who have never seen Chun Yuji, and they went separately to chase after them, but they were afraid that they would admit their mistake."
Fan Mingyou was impatient and said, "You can just describe it to them."
Zeng Yiyan answered the "whoosh" and led the people to retreat.
Ren Xuan suddenly remembered that the maid in the backyard was like evaporating from the world, and there was no trace of it. I thought about whether I wanted to talk to Fan Mingyou, but I felt that more things were better than less, so I put them down.
