The Child Emperor

(Thanks to the reader twomix560 for the red tip.)

Afterwards, the showdown in the deserted garden was hyped up, and the more the parties involved, the more convincing they were, depicting the melee as an unprecedented tragic battle, with countless casualties and blood stained the weeds. A few days later, flowers bloomed on that piece of land. It's all red...

For these rumors, Han Ruzi would find it ridiculous, but he did feel real nervousness at that time.

Du Chuanyun captured Cui Teng alive, which was not difficult at all. The second son of the Cui family never thought that anyone would dare to attack him. Standing on the pavilion platform, he commanded the warriors and servants to fight while scolding Chai Yun. They also have the same idea, so they only focus on performing hard, and do not specially protect the master.

Du Chuanyun circled behind the pavilion, suddenly jumped out, threw Cui Teng down, rolled him on the ground in his arms, then carried him on his shoulders and ran into the grass.

It happened so fast, Cui Teng didn't resist, didn't even shout, the surrounding warriors and servants didn't even notice anything unusual, only Chai Yun saw this scene and couldn't help laughing, Cui Teng rat, today fell into my hands. , how dare you to be arrogant!

Several martial artists on both sides did not fight seriously, they were busy putting on the air, and when they heard what Chai Xiaohou said, they looked at each other and were all shocked.

Why are you here? Why don't you chase after him, you can't let Cui Teng be taken away! Chai Yun said angrily.

Two martial artists left, and one martial artist insisted on staying, just in case.

If the previous chaos was tacit, since Cui Teng was arrested, the chaos has gotten out of control. Few people saw the scene at that time. It was rumored that they were jumping in the grass like locusts, and it quickly changed from Cui Teng was arrested to Cui Teng was killed. At this time, he also felt inexplicably that Chai Xiaohou might commit murder.

Han Ruzi and Donghai King split up and ran around. No matter where he went, he heard someone shouting Second Master Cui is dead and couldn't help being shocked. If this was true, Du Chuanyun would cause a lot of trouble.

Han Ruzi wanted to go back to the open space beside the pavilion, but somehow ran to the wall and was about to turn around when a soft cry came from a big tree: Hey, I'm here.

Like a leopard, Du Chuanyun brought his prey to a high place, and at this time he was crouching on a branch and waved at Hou Wan.

Cui Teng... Han Ruzi was about to ask when he heard shouts nearby, and hurriedly ran behind the tree and climbed up carefully.

Du Chuanyun pulled Huanhou up and praised: You are very flexible, you can learn Qinggong from me in the future.

Han Ruzi smiled. He didn't dare to move on the branch. He could only turn his head to watch. He didn't see Cui Teng until he looked up. He was sitting on a higher branch with his hands behind him. Tucked in the cloth, he was angry and scared, his face blushing and uncertain.

Give him to Chai Yun. Han Ruzi said, and he was relieved to see that Cui Teng was not dead.

Don't worry, scare him for a while... Someone is coming. Du Chuanyun pointed into the distance.

Okay, that's enough, let them save people by themselves, let's go. Han Ruzi raised his head and glanced at Cui Teng again, wanting to say a few words to him, but felt it was unnecessary, so he slowly went down the tree trunk.

Du Chuanyun hadn't had enough fun, but he couldn't disobey the order, so he had to jump down and stand on the ground to follow Hou Juan.

Can they save Cui Teng? Han Ruzi looked up and saw that Cui Teng was not sitting low.

There were so many people that he took the human ladder to get him down. Du Chuanyun was not worried at all, he had already observed it on the tree, and took the lead in walking towards the place where no one was there, It turns out that it was so simple, I was blinded. Well prepared, Chai Xiaohou will give us money, right?

He saw you take Cui Teng away?

I see.

That's fine. Han Ruzi believed that Chai Yun would not default on his debt, and he was not concerned about this matter at this time. The performance of the King of the East Sea today made him confused, and he hesitated in his heart whether to go to tonight's appointment.

Du Chuanyun in front stopped, and Han Ruzi almost bumped into it, What's wrong?

Shh.

Han Ruzi thought that Du Chuanyun had found someone else, so he leaned forward and shuddered in his heart.

A pair of feet emerged from the grass.

Du Chuanyun turned his head and glanced at it. Seeing that Hou Juan was not particularly frightened, he said, Go and have a look, did someone really fight to death?

Han Ruzi felt uneasy, but he still followed Du Chuanyun.

There was a neatly dressed young man lying on the grass, but the weeds under him were blood-stained red.

Who is this? Not like a martial artist or servant, nor like the guy Chai Yun invited. Du Chuanyun asked in surprise.

Han Ruzi's heart was raised, this is a nonsense, no one should have died, but now there is a corpse in front of him, and he feels familiar, so he can't help but take a step forward and bend over to observe carefully, that face has lost its vitality. His lips parted slightly, his eyes hollow.

Han Ruzi had seen a dead man, but it was the first time he saw the eyes of a dead man. He felt a chill in his body, and finally recognized the identity of the dead man, He is the proton of the Huns.

What is a proton?

The prince the Huns sent to the Great Chu as a hostage.

The Huns don't look like... that's okay, the Huns are very bad, so let's die.

Han Ruzi shook his head, Something's wrong, do you think he's really dead? Han Ruzi was bold enough, and didn't dare to get too close to the corpse.

Du Chuanyun walked over, stretched out his hand to probe his breath, lay on his chest and listened for a while, then raised his head and said, It's dead.

There was a commotion nearby, and Han Ruzi signaled to Du Chuanyun not to make a sound.

I found the second son, he is not dead! Someone shouted, and the noise gradually faded away.

Han Ruzi let out a sigh of relief.

Du Chuanyun was inexplicable, Is it the one you killed?

of course not.

Then why are you nervous? Let's go and let someone else handle the body.

Han Ruzi didn't move, thought for a while, and said in a low voice, There's something wrong.

What's the matter? These guys don't know how to fight at all, and it's impossible to keep someone out of the way.

No, there is no sign of a fight nearby. The body was moved from elsewhere.

That has nothing to do with you. Du Chuanyun usually likes to cause trouble, but at this time, he felt tired and busy.

The more Han Ruzi thought about it, the more wrong it became. He remembered this prince of the Xiongnu. This man used to be a servant in the palace and had a fight with Zhang Yanghao. Fighting, and now dying here for no reason, is very suspicious.

Move the body away and hide it first, Han Ruzi said.

Du Chuanyun widened his eyes, You...

Come on, I don't have time to explain. Han Ruzi's mind was already serious, and he was even more suspicious after he deposed the emperor. The identity of the deceased was special. The Great Chu and the Huns were at war. He didn't want to cause trouble at this time, even There is a feeling that the corpse thrower chose this timing, maybe to frame the emperor.

Where to hide? We can't walk around with the corpse on our back. Du Chuanyun looked around, suddenly the cat ran into the grass, and came back after a while, I'm lucky, there is a dry well nearby, so I threw it in. Well, no one will find out for a while.

Du Chuanyun grabbed the corpse's hands, raised his head and said to Hou Wan, Help me, I can't do it alone.

Han Ruzi hoped that Du Chuanyun could carry the corpse by himself, but he had no choice but to step forward to help and grab his feet.

The two walked quietly carrying the corpse, and stopped and waited for a while when they heard shouts from far and near. 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. There was nothing to cover nearby. Anyway, it was dark inside the well, and nothing abnormal could be seen from above.

Fortunately, we found the body first. Han Ruzi said, only walking a short distance, he had exhausted his strength and struggled to get up, intending to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

We're taking one of the trails out of the park. It's very likely that someone else will go later. What about the pool of blood? Du Chuanyun was more careful about this kind of thing.

It doesn't 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 happened behind them.

That night, Han Ruzi held back his curiosity and did not go to see the King of the East Sea. As a deposed emperor, no matter how you mess around, it's okay to be a fool. At most, you can live up to the title of Dark King. If you accidentally get involved in the conspiracy of the imperial court, it will be a dead end.

Cui Xiaojun noticed the strangeness of Hou Juan, but did not ask more.

Early the next morning, Chai Yun sent someone to invite Hou Juan.

Han Ruzi and Du Chuanyun went together, and Chai Yun went out to greet him in person, overjoyed, Yesterday you two left too early, I didn't see Cui Teng's ugliness, he was frightened and cried, crying in public, laughing to death. I am. He also said that Mrs. Cui would kill you and me and avenge him, but I know that he did not dare to tell his family about it, haha...

Chai Yun summoned some of her best friends, and invited the Marquis of Tien to a banquet. The crowd cheered generously, as if they had just returned from the battlefield, boasting about their courage and laughing at the cowardice of the enemy.

Someone mentioned the bloodstain, but in a series of exaggerated rumors, no one paid attention to the real bloodstain.

After three rounds of drinking, Chai Yun leaned into Marquis Juan's ear and whispered, The silver has been delivered to the mansion, a tael is a lot.

Han Ruzi smiled. Chaiyun himself didn't pay much of the money. He set up a gamble, and it was up to Juan Hou's subordinates if they dared to capture Cui Teng alive. He won, enough to pay 60,000 taels of silver.

Let's go out and play together tonight. Chai Yun invited her with a smile.

playing what?

Chai Yun laughed, Come with me, it's sure to make you have fun.

Han Ruzi wanted to refuse, but Zhang Yanghao just came over to make a toast, and with the strength of the wine, he said loudly: Chai Xiaohou, don't forget me when you go out to play, I invited Juanhou for you.

All go, all go! Chai Yun said boldly, drawing cheers.

Han Ruzi raised his glass with a smile and agreed, but he kept his eyes fixed on Zhang Yanghao. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that the death of Xiongnu Proton was related to this person, but he didn't understand what conspiracy was behind it.
