The silent hall, no one dares to speak. While outside the hall, there are soldiers lining up neatly since morning, only to wait for the commanding, then moving.
The person who kneeling is fully awake Li Mo Mo, that fatty body isn’t stopped be hit.
“Tell me whatever you know, all the things, say out.” Slender fingers is pinching the jade prayer beads, Xiao Zhi sleepless expression, his expression like storm clouds approached (troubles lie ahead) very calm.
“In replied… in replied to general, this lowly was ordered by his Excellency Zhi officer to bring and find Lady Chu, originally everything was fine, but who knew when we were walking out from courtyard, suddenly I just fainted.”
On the other side, the Zhi officer heard Li Mo Mo spoke regarding him, his body shivering just similar to hers, no differences.
“Clearly, seeing the person?” The slender fingers still pinching the jade prayer bead, those people who heard only dares to inhale but not exhale.
“No… No.” Li Mo Mo once again fainted because of afraid, this situation is better like this.
“Report!” Liu Military officer walking into the hall, kneeling on the ground, “This lowly followed the scent of the Xiang Cong (fragrant insect/worm), has discovered where the Lady Chu being imprisoned, third courtyard inside villa.
Once this word said, Zhi officer surprised, “Third Courtyard… Third courtyard villa, that, that is the residence of the Third Prince in Cong Zhou, Liu military officer, don’t you probe the wrong information, do you?”
“Does Zhi officer doubting the Xiang Cong?” Liu military officer taunting replied. Wen Xiang Cong (Smell of fragrant worm), all the body is gold color, after taking a person blood, whenever the person is, easy to find out. Of course, the person should be warned not to use any strong scent in body.
“Not dares.” Zhi officer just felt his palm sweating more.
The finger that pinching the beads stopped, Xiao Zhi opened his eyes said to Liu military Officer : “Quickly preparing ten thousand of military forces, surrounded the third courtyard villa!”
“Yes!” Liu Military officer received the command.
“Xiao… Xiao general, surrounded the third prince villa isn’t small matter, it serious matter, if the Emperor wants to blame the next…” he won’t be able to protect his head from his body.
Zhi officer hasn’t finished his words, Xiao Zhi has disappeared, not even the shadow remains in the room.
Inside the Third courtyard villa, the Third Prince looked at the fainted and tied up Chu Zhu Yu, doubted, asking : “Is this the woman that you guys had investigated?”
“Yes, she is.” The servant answered.
“So, which part of her that attract Xiao Zhi?”
“This servant doesn’t know, but all the people in Zhi’s residence said that Xiao Zhi very dotting this woman.”
Third Prince talked to himself, his intention when investigate about this woman, he thought her face or her body is matched to his Huang Mei, but he never thought that….
“You brought her here, anyone followed?” Third Prince is on guarded, asking.
“No one followed.” The guards who were guarding her including the hidden guard had been knocked down by him and fainted.
“Very good.” The Third Prince very happy, but he still has slightly doubting, could one woman really able to control Xiao Zhi?
“It not good! Not good!” a stumbled voice from the outside room, “Mas… Master, this lowly has something to report.”
“What a fuss?” Third prince is displeased.
“Xiao General bring military forces here and surrounded the entire villa!” the servant who is standing outside keeps on talking.
“What?! How could it be, how can Xiao Zhi comes here?” the Third Prince stumbled for while, this time he is secretly coming to Cong Zhou, there only several loyal servant in Luo Yang who knows that he is doing this things. If Xiao Zhi really surrounded this villa, his coming to here will be revealed, “Aren’t you, who bring him to here?” his scary eye sight glaring to the man who brought Chu Zhu Yu.
“This servant won’t let anyone to follow.” That person in black robe explained in hurried.
“So how—-“ the third prince closely glaring at Chu Zhu Yu who is fainting, suddenly seeing gold color worm that flying above her hair near her hair pin, “ wretched Wen Xiang Cong! Xiao Zhi unexpectedly using Wen Xiang Cong to this woman!”
Wen Xiang Cong is rare insect, the price is also high, one Wen Xiang Cong could cost thousands of gold, even inside the palace, only raised ten of it and never give a test of human blood for the Wen Xiang Cong.
The Third Prince is shocked and angry, he just feel his bones rattle, raised his hand and slapping the faint Chu Zhu Yu.
Chu Zhu Yu in low spirit being slapped once, directly awake, she felt that on her lips corner there was warmth blood dripping.
“Awake?” the Third Prince said, he continuously slapping Chu Zhu Yu, “ I never thought that Xiao Zhi willing to use Wen Xiang Cong for you!”
Wen Xiang Cong? Chu Zhu Yu perplexed on the current situation, what should it being called? Being abducted?
“Who are you?” she asked, looking at the Wen Xiang Cong that has been in Third Prince hand. This gold color of insect she ever seen before, the first day she arrived at Cong Zhou, Xiao Zhi letting her to feed the insect one drip of her blood.
“Why this kind of insect eat the blood?” that time she was curious asked.
“As long as it ever tasted the person blood, this type of insect is very sensitive with the person scent, so no matter where the person goes in the four corner of world, do not afraid can’t be able to find the person.” He gently strokes the golden bug, “Zhu Yu, in such way, no matter where you go, I will still able to find you.”
Finds her… finds her…
The pain in her face not really obvious, she only thinks whether he can find her or not.
“You are not in situation and level to know who I am!” Third Prince ordering servant to stand Chu Zhu Yu up, “since Xiao Zhi dares to surrounded my villa, I wanted to know, your existence will give what kind of effect toward him!”
Outside, people shouting, the roaring voices of the soldiers, the sound of the weapons, and also the flesh piercing weapons which the sound makes people shuddered.
“Bring all the military forces in here, unexpectedly Xiao Zhi dares to surrounded my place, then I will make him no place to back!” about the matter that he promised his Huang Mei, only after he finished dealing with this situation, he will clarify to her.
Chu Zhu Yu can feel, this is not ordinary military forces, but the man in front of her, wearing such glamour clothes, and also mention about “military force” these two words.
“Does this person is using her to face Xiao Zhi? That man who cares her, a man that dotting her much, what will happen to him? Once her thought about him who will get problems because of her, perhaps being injured, her heart seems to be dragged out, it hurts.
Chu Zhu Yu being dragged forward, then, she saw in front of her there was lot of blood.
So much blood, on the ground lying uncounted corpse.
“This… is this all human?”
“Too scary, no! no! OMG, who can stop him!”
“Xiao… Xiao general, this is the Third Prince’s villa, do you think that you could kill in here, the Emperor will be blaming on you…ah~!”
One of his hands has already stabbed that person chest, only surprised sound once and then no more sound.
Two sides of military forces didn’t stop clashing, while in the chaos of battle field, the most prominent is the person who wore the black robe. He looked different because he is the only ones who didn’t wear armor like others general soldiers, He is the person in black robe who wore the Yu Guan on his head, while one of his hands is holding a jade prayer beads. The original Jade color has been replaced with red color of blood that stained on the prayer bead. Another hand of his is holding Buddhist scripture that never been rumor as… kind of killing weapon used by him.
The long slender fingers, originally is gentle, but how could it changes as a sharp cold weapon, straightly stabbing into person chest, one strike, only by one strike, it could determine the life and death of people.
One by one the dead body, lying near his feet, splashing blood, his left hand dried with red-blood, on his body, his feet, even his face is splashed by blood. God of wars (Mars), or Death God, or Devil?
Ou!
The Third Prince who passing the scene, is someone who has experienced great storming (many dangerous atmospheres), even feeling disgusting. Only Chu Zhu Yu who standing in dazed looking at Xiao Zhi. This is the man she knows, is he still someone she really understands?
That familiar… but also very unfamiliar. Clearly it is a same face, but she never seen that kind of expression in his face before, that kind merciless massacre, even his eyes, the pupil also changed red.
It’s vicious atmosphere! All over his body is radiating vicious atmosphere to kill, only by get closer, it makes people shuddering.
In responding to her vision line, he suddenly looked into the direction of her.
“Zhu Yu…” Two words that hardly chocked in his throat, finally Xiao Zhi could burst it out, finally he sees her, only by seeing her, the panicked and worries feeling, slowly settling down.
The Third Prince suddenly gaining his mind back, shouted : “Xiao Zhi, if you want to see her alive, surrender.”
“If I really surrender, will you really release her?” Xiao Zhi keeps on walking step by step toward the Third Prince, while the people in that villa no one dares to block him, even unconsciously give him way to pass.
“Of course, Ben Huang Zi (Child of Emperor) with this status, naturally, all the spoken words are as worth as thousands golden.”
“It’s too bad.” He calmly said, “Your words, not even one I trust.”
“Don’t you afraid that I killed her?” Third prince threaten, only after hearing two falling sound, the first two person who held on Chu Zhu Yu has falling into ground, their middle forehead has hit with the jade beads.
He… He even make the string Jade beads as his secret weapon?! The third Prince feels as if there is something stuck on his throat. Crazy! This man is out of sanity, he crazy. This jade beads, was given by Zen Master Hui Wu to Xiao Zhi, it said that being inherit to one generation to another, it has hundreds of history, it also can called as one of country treasure. But now, because for rescuing this kind of woman, he…
Once Xiao Zhi flies up and down, he has been standing near to Chu Zhu Yu already, his finger stroke, at the moment the rope that tied Zhu Yu cut off.
“Are you okay?” The first responded of Chu Zhu Yu is pulling Xiao Zhi’s robe sleeve, carefully to examine his hands whether injured or not.
“Are you being hit?” The cold voice, no others word could describe how he pissed off.
She dazed, until he raised his finger, stroke her lips corner, Chu Zhu Yu comes to response, he stroke the wound in her face, “This is a small wound.” Compare to those death body, her wounds, really only “small wound.”
“Is it hurt?” he asked with lower voice.
“Before it was hurt, but now, it feels much better.” Once she finished checking one arm, she checked another arm.
“Zhu Yu, I still have another business to do, wait a moment for me, will you?”
“Ya?” Without waiting for Zhu Yu to reply, Xiao Zhi picked her up (like a princess hug) and when he stands in front of Liu Officer, he said : “Protect well her.”
“Yes.” Liu officer received the command.
Another moment, Xiao Zhi already standing right in front of the Third Prince, his killing aura radiating heavier from his body compare to the first time, while his eyes looking at the other party, as if he wants to kill immediately.
“Are you the person who slapped her?” Xiao Zhi eyes sight is deep and calmed without any wave, while the person whom he looked at, surrounded with hostility feeling.
“If Yes, what will you do?” anyway, he already put aside all the consideration, moreover, he has assigned all his elite military forces to gather, if Xiao Zhi really wanted to fight, he won’t easy lose and still has chance to win. “I am the almighty Prince, Can I teach a lesson to that lowest status girl?”
Xiao Zhi doesn’t speak any words, his eyes sight piercing into the Third Prince with the coldest expression, walking closer to him step by step.
“Xiao Zhi, You, are you thinking to rebel?” The Third Prince screamed because panic.
“Rebel? Xiao Mo (refer to Xiao Zhi himself) never has that thought. But, I am really curious, The Third Prince should be in Luo Yang now, but how come he is in Cong Zhou this time.”
“Ben Huang Zi (refer to the Third Prince), wherever I am, there none of your business?”
“Actually at the beginning of these days, I want to talk with you about “your card”, but you touched her, so let be today I lifted your card. Third Prince, or should I call you as the master mind of the Bandits rebellion?”
The Third Prince shocked, no matter how hard he thinks but he still doesn’t understand, how could he know about rebellion matter, “Audacious , What nonsense are you speaking?”
“Nonsense? But it not a matter anymore!” Xiao Zhi stretch his hand and facing to capture the Third Prince.
“Fast! Faster blocking him!” The Third Prince is shouting, he is exerting and hiding at his servants back one by one of them.
Bamn! Bamn! Bamn!
Unstoppable Xiao Zhi, one by one the people are lying on the ground, his hands, very similar alike before, crazily killing, it even scarier than before, as if he is venting his anger. Blood everywhere even the Third Prince feeling nausea.
“You… You really dare to touch me, don’t you afraid the Emperor take a blame of you?” The
scary-cat Third Prince said. Before, he only heard from people how this general was so scary, only by today he sees by himself, he understands how fast Xiao Zhi could kill people.
“I could clearly explain to the Emperor.” He spoke calmly, the military people do not care about the opponent status even the person is Emperor’s children.
While on other side, Zhu Yu, stuffed looking at Xiao Zhi. Is it by he means, he still has another business to do? Only because of her, being slapped by that person who is called as Third Prince?
“He… does he wants to continuously kill and kill?” she gulped down her saliva to her throat, Chu Zhu Yu insecure asking.
“Yes.” Liu officer who is next to her, answered.
“That Third Prince, is he really the third child of the current Emperor?”
“Yes.”
“So, why he keeps on forcing that Third Prince to the corner?”
“The general seems want to kill the Third Prince.” It really obvious, the general is extremely angry, if not, he won’t kill in such way… so fast.
Hag?
“He really dares to kill the Third Prince?” she felt that something stuck on her throat.
“Dare.” Basically, others than seize the power of palace, Liu Shan really didn’t know what kind of thing or matter that his general won’t dare to do.
“So, what is the punishment of killing Emperor’s child?” Zhu Chu Yu asked.
“It should be physical punishment for the subject, of course there also kind of death penalty such as being dragged by five horses so the body separate into five, or being beheaded alive, if the Emperor really angry, the possibility…” every time Liu Shan spoke, Chu Zhu Yu face becomes paler and paler.
“Of course, if the general really killed the Third Prince, the Emperor won’t give such punishment to the general.” Since the general has a proof of the rebellion that made by the Third Prince, so the falling of Third Prince dignity to the point of disgrace is soon or later matter.
But, before she heard Liu Shan finished his words, Chu Zhu Yu has been running towards.
“OMG!” Liu Shan screaming, just now the general has commanded him to carefully watching Chu Zhu Yu.
Chu Zhu Yu, herself didn’t understand, how can she passing through all those corpse, with what kind of courage she went through the vicious scene, all in her mind was, all—only thinks about him, she didn’t want his death!
Once she thought that the possibility of Xiao Zhi might die, she couldn’t control her body, while she hasn’t think everything clearly, her body has take the move and react, she running ahead.
She staggered but kept on running, she uses up all her life time speed, only want to come closer to him, only to come a bit closer…
zippp!
Chu Zhu Yu on the direction toward Xiao Zhi, a pair of her hand, held tightly his waist.
“What’s matter?” Xiao Zhi dazed, his head lower to look the person who keep on holding him, “ This place is so dangerous, doesn’t Liu military officer protect you?” he spoke while hugging her on his bosom.
“There nothing matter with the Liu military officer, it only me who want to speak with you.” She worried.
“Oh? What a matter?” he killed while speaking, he killed with his high skill and ease while listening to hers.
“That… That..” She is panicking, at last she finally able to speak— “That young master of the Zhi residence was captured by the bandits, could you go and save him?”
“Do you wish me to save him?”
“I wish.”
“Fine, I will ask people to rescue him.”
“And… and there still, a servant who helped us to sweep the floor has been two months not going home, could you give him half day leave?” it is not right, the words she should say not these one! Chu Zhu Yu is so worried, but her mouth just couldn’t say the truth about how she felt and she even talking unimportant things.
“Alright.”
“That Wang Er, carelessly step on your cloth, can you forgive him?” actually she doesn’t need to say this bunch of nonsense to him!
“Fine.”
Please! What kind of conversation this is! Those soldiers that protecting the Third Prince, shaking their head after heard it XD!
“Xiao Zhi, you don’t need to be an arrogant, you think that, you and this woman today can get out from here?” Those guards who protecting the Third Prince are shocked, their expression changed from green to purple, from purple to red, after hearing what their master said.
This Xiao Zhi could give sharp piercing glared to the Third Prince but toward Chu Zhu Yu, he show his gentleness, said : “Zhu Yu, wait for me a moment, I will settle it in very fast.”
Stature movement, one of his hand embracing her waist, while another hand, to and fro which makes people who see it be confused, the guards that protecting the Third Prince, felt down one by one.
Third Prince expression changes to be so panic, he thought to escape, but his villa has been surrounding by Xiao Zhi’s military forces.
For his lifetime, this is the first time he feel regret, listened to his Huang Mei suggestion, making the living evil be angered. That five slender fingers, originally could pleasing for the people who see it but at this moment, that fingers could take people life.
When Xiao Zhi come closer to the last guards who protecting Third Prince, the Third Prince even can’t shout out loud his voice.
That five fingers that look alike jade, has grabbing the Third Prince’s chest…
“Don’t!” Chu Zhu Yu shouting and in hurried, grabbing Xiao Zhi’s cloth, “ You… you can’t kill the Third Prince.”
“Why? He has injured you.” His body paused, as if stopped in mid-air. Those who injured her, he never thought to let off. His eyes saw her face, her corner of lips injured and red, he felt displeasing.
“Mine only small wounds, you shouldn’t kill him, he is the child of Emperor, you will have problem!”
“I don’t care this.”
“But, I care!” she doesn’t want something bad happen to him, doesn’t want him be convicted, doesn’t want she not able to see him in the future! This kind of worries, she even doesn’t knows how to express, she only grabbing his sleeves firmly won’t let go, hoping this will prevent him.
“Do you care of me?” his expression changed to be pleasant, happy.
“Yes!” She definitely sure with her answered.
“If I don’t kill him, will you be more care about me?”
“It… might be.”
“Fine, I will not kill him.” Xiao Zhi stopped, his eyes sparkling, looking at Chu Zhu Yu.
What? She blinked her eyes, somewhat this is weird. This… also do?
