The night is getting darker.
The lake surface in Cigu Hall is very calm. There are various kinds of water plants growing on the shore. Many heads suddenly appear among the water plants.
They moved very gently, without making any sound, and quietly climbed ashore in a place with dense water and grass.
"Hiss, it's so cold."
As soon as Chu Hongyu emerged from the water, he felt the cold wind blowing and couldn't help but shiver.
Lin Dongdong was about to speak, but found that his clothes were also wet, so he had no choice but to give up.
After Yun Zhenjiang and Meng Shen came ashore, they crawled in the grass. They looked at each other with murderous intent flashing in their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, more than thirty secret guards followed, crawling towards the guards scattered in the courtyard, and slowly and quietly approached the guards.
There were more than thirty people scattered in the courtyard, and more than twenty people were guarding in front of the house.
These two groups of people are separate.
The Yun family's secret guards are all people who live life on the tip of a knife and are familiar with all kinds of assassinations.
Before the guards could react, their necks were strangled by a thin rope falling from the sky. The rope was tightened quickly. Those people had no time to call for help and struggled, before they lost their breath and fell to the ground dead.
The more than twenty people who were guarding the house not far away seemed to have heard the noise and arranged for someone to come and investigate.
As soon as the man came out, an arrow pierced his neck. Blood spurted out instantly, and he fell to the ground and twitched to death.
At the same time, the Yun family's secret guards filed in and restrained all the guards guarding the door of the house.
Don't give them a chance to speak at all, just kill them with one knife.
Although the sound coming from outside the house was very slight, Yunqin still heard it.
After Yun Chu established Ci Gu Tang, she volunteered to help at Ci Gu Tang, and eventually became the director of Ci Gu Tang, in charge of all affairs.
She never expected that a group of men in black suddenly rushed in this morning and she was knocked unconscious. When she woke up, she found that she and all the adults and children in Cigu Hall were imprisoned in this row of rooms. His feet were tied and his mouth was gagged, so he couldn't do anything he wanted to do.
From time to time, she looked at the children on the bed next to her. There were dozens of babies under one year old lying on the bed.
A whole day passed, and these children just lay there quietly, neither crying nor fussing... You know, such a big baby needs to drink milk from time to time to excrete, and there will always be some noise. It is really too long not to cry for so long. Terrible.
She was extremely anxious and frightened.
Yunqin heard that the movement outside finally disappeared, and the footsteps gradually approached.
Then the door was pushed open, and she saw a group of men in black walking in. Her fear reached the extreme, and she struggled hard.
She hoped that these people would let the child go, no matter what they asked her to do...
Just when she was desperate, a small figure appeared among the people in black and rushed towards her: "Aunt Yunqin!"
Yunqin couldn't believe it.
The visitor turned out to be the emperor!
Then, they are saved!
Chu Hongyu quickly pulled off the rag on Yun Qin's mouth, pulled out a sword and loosened Yun Qin's bindings.
Yun Qin didn't have time to salute, so she quickly rushed towards the bed, stretched out her hand to see if one of the children was still breathing. She breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what's wrong with these children. They fell asleep. Call the doctor quickly!"
Chu Hongyu said: "Let everyone loose their bonds first, and I will go ahead to clear the way."
"Wait a minute." Lin Dongdong took a baby blanket from the bed and put it on Chu Hongyu, "Your Majesty, it's windy outside, so wrap up the blanket tightly and be careful not to catch cold."
The main gate of Cigu Hall was blocked by Chu Rui and his men. In front of Chu Rui were Yun Chu's men, and the two sides faced off for a long time.
"Yunchu, how much longer do you need to think about it?" Chu Rui covered his chest and said slowly, "I'm not going to die soon. I just want to fulfill this long-cherished wish."
Yun Chu's face was extremely cold: "You have too many tricks, I don't dare to agree to you casually."
Chu Rui smiled bitterly: "Now that we have come to this point, what else can I do? If you let me enter the palace and die in Jinying Palace, I will let everyone in Cigu Hall go."
His mother-in-law and his eldest sister both died in Jinying Palace and were buried in the back garden of Jinying Palace. Therefore, the chrysanthemums bloomed most beautifully there.
He has clearly felt that his life is passing by.
From the moment he chose to use Gu, he knew that he wouldn't live long.
In addition, Yun Chu gave him a fatal blow, and this short life was about to end.
He just wanted to find a burial place for himself.
Yunchu didn't agree to such a small request.
"Since you don't agree, then I can only let these children be buried with me." Chu Rui's lips curved in a strange way, "I only give you three counts of time."
Yun Chu narrowed his eyes.
Just a while ago, the Yun family's secret guard came to tell her that Brother Yu and his men sneaked into Cigu Hall from the deep pool in the back mountain.
Fortunately, there were Yun Zhenjiang and Meng Shen who followed them. These two were relatively calm, so she felt relieved.
She and Chu Rui confronted each other here, mainly to delay time.
When the Yun family's secret guards took full control of the interior of Cigu Hall, she could take the lead and kill Chu Rui.
"three."
Chu Rui started counting with a smile on her face.
Just like during the cloud first count at the Prince Regent's Palace.
"two."
Yun Chu frowned.
She was prepared to agree first and then slowly deal with it.
at this time.
A children's voice sounded: "You are really slow in counting. Why don't you count to one? Count quickly. I want to see what you want to do."
Chu Rui turned around in disbelief.
I saw a small figure standing inside the gate of Cigu Hall, wrapped in a blanket. Who else could it be besides the current emperor.
He suddenly understood why Yun Chu said he needed to think in the first sentence. It turned out that it was to delay time.
The mother and son conspired, one was outside and the other was inside. He lost, really lost, and lost completely.
"Hahahahaha!"
Chu Rui laughed.
There were more than twenty people surrounding him, surrounding him to protect him.
Yun Chu spoke slowly: "Do it."
The Royal Forest Army behind her could no longer hold back any longer, and charged forward, fighting with Chu Rui's men.
Yun Chu kept staring at Chu Rui, only to see him clutching his chest, standing up from the chair lamely, and couldn't help coughing violently.
He looked at Yun Chu and smiled: "Since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Lin Qiang, Fan Ming!" Yun Chu shouted, "Hold Chu Rui down!"
Chu Rui took out a fire seal from his sleeve and blew it. When Lin Qiang rushed over, he let go of his hand and the fire seal fell to the ground.
An unknown thing was placed on the ground, and a line was instantly ignited. The line led to the interior of Cigu Hall. While burning, it also ignited the surrounding lines. More than a dozen lines of fire headed towards the room where the children were detained.
"Yes, gunpowder!"
Chu Hongyu's eyes widened instantly.
Yun Chu lost his voice and said: "Brother Yu, run quickly!"
