  Chapter 12: The Cost

  Zhu Yuhuan urged Zhu Yuchen to hurry up, although Zhu Yuchen was furious and only wanted to find Zhu Yucai, but big things couldn't be delayed, now he couldn't think carefully, could only rush out.

  The old woman at the door caught her breath and was about to enter the door to ask if anything was wrong. If not, she would go back. Just as she was about to turn around, she ran into Zhu Yuxuan coming out. The old woman subconsciously asked: "Second Master... are you going out?"

  Zhu Yichen nodded and walked out: "Uh-huh."

  The old woman stopped asking and followed him out, it was none of her business, she still had to hurry back to report to the third young lady. Following behind Zhu Yuxuan, who was walking out, she saw the man who had just entered the house with Second Master coming out again and saying: "The house in the north of Cat Ear Alley in the northern city, don't get it wrong!"

  Zhu Yichen has already rushed out.

  The old woman followed behind, some uneasy also came out of the station, it seemed that Er Ye had something very important to do, she was tense, always feeling as if she would be implicated...

  Zhu Yi Huan watched Zhu Yi Chen leave, then turned around and went back into the house. He couldn't delay either. Although going to that mansion to kill Che Gui was the best option, he thought it through clearly - Zhu Yi Zhong must have had ulterior motives for deceiving Zhu Yi Chen! Zhu Yi Chen had left with a fiery temper, easily deceived. He himself was calmer and already mentally prepared, greatly reducing the chances of being deceived.

  He turned his back on Liu Suo and said, "Mother, I'll find a safe place for you to wait for me."

  Liu Luo Su's whole body was trembling, and he hastily climbed onto his back, asking: "Who... who is it after all... why did you call me mother, why did you say I'm Ke Ai's older brother... I didn't mishear, I really didn't mishear!"

  "Wait till I get back and I'll tell you, this matter can't be explained in just a few words, now there really isn't time to explain." Zhu Yuhuan hastily left with her on his back.

  ……

  Chu Xue'er's mind couldn't calm down after she reacted! She rushed to the door and opened her mouth to shout for someone, but she didn't know who to call?! What's the use of calling the maids and servants? Could they save Zhu Yuxuan? Her mind was in a mess, and thinking that Zhu Yuxuan had fallen into Zhu Yuxiao's trap made her tense up with fear!

  She stroked the curved knife in her arms, there was no other way, she could only go herself! She didn't have time to think carefully and consider what method would be safest. Her current thought was that she couldn't let Zhu Yuxuan get into trouble!

  She walked out of the house, to the gate of the courtyard. Today was a festive day, and the gate was closed an hour later than usual. She walked out of the yard, found the side door, tiptoed past the front of the gatehouse, avoiding the eyes of the gatekeeper, opened the door and ran out.

  It was already the hour of You, and there was still half an hour until the hour of Zi at the third watch.

  She thought for a moment about the direction of Sanmiao Street Hutong and then ran in that direction!

  As soon as they came out of the alley, an old woman limping and walking slowly towards them. Chu Kei recognized her at a glance - it was the old woman she had sent to deliver the message! She went up and shouted: "Halt!"

  That old woman was so startled that she almost fell over! When she looked ahead, the one shouting was actually her own family's Third Girl. The old woman, both shocked and frightened, rubbed her eyes vigorously and exclaimed in a trembling voice: "Third Girl?!"

  Chu Xue had already shouted: "Has the letter been delivered to Second Master? Has he gone to San Miao Street?"

  "Ah! It's really Third Sister! Ah, my mother! How did you get out?! This..."

  "Can you hear me?! Did Second Master go to Sanmiao Street or not?!" Chu Ke asked loudly, annoyed, and felt like kicking this garrulous old woman!

  "There's no one, Second Master has gone to a house north of Cat Ear Alley in the northern part of the city!" The old woman subconsciously replied hastily and then anxiously called out: "Aiyoh, young lady! How did you end up coming out at this late hour? It's too frightening... If Old Lady or Madame were to find out, it would bring bad luck to so many people, and it's so dangerous for you..."

  Before I could finish speaking, a figure flashed before my eyes, and Third Sister had already rushed forward and run off!

  The old woman turned around in a panic, stomping her feet and crying out in distress: "What's to be done? What can be done? This is going to be the death of me! Third Miss! Third Miss! Come back quickly..."

  Look at the three girls running so fast, they're about to disappear! The old lady stomped her foot in anger, wanting to turn around and go back, but she didn't dare, so she could only follow them, shouting: "Ahh, my ancestors, ahh, this is going to be the death of me..."

  Chu Kei's feet were flying as she ran towards the north of the city, the wind whizzing past her ears, the cool breeze gradually calming her mind, her feet still running swiftly, but her head was already very clear and calm...

  ……

  Zhu Yuhuan carried Liu Luosou to the Qingci Hutong, where he had a small house in Beijing. He pushed open the door and inside were his two servants. As soon as they saw him carrying someone in, they hastily reached out to help Liu Luosou down and called out: "Master?"

  Zhu Yuhuan handed the willow to Liu Suo, and reminded them: "Take good care of it, there must be no mistakes!" And then to Liu Suo: "Tonight's matter, don't tell anyone! No one can say, hide here and wait." After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran away.

  Liu Luo Su barely had time to shout behind her: "Is Ke Ai in danger..."

  Zhu Yuhuan didn't answer, he had already run far away.

  Two servants hastily helped Liu Luosu inside, Liu Luosu was also frozen, her whole body trembling. The two servants supported her into the house and first made her drink a bowl of ginger soup.

  Zhu Yuhuan came this way to Sanmiao Street. All the way, he was thinking nervously that Zhu Yuhao would definitely not easily let Zhu Yuchen pass by, and now... may have already moved to kill him!

  He had a deadly grip on them, and if he saw the person going was not Yī Zhēn but himself, he might have been furious and wouldn't even spare himself. All of this is very possible! Now it's also unclear what he wants to do, can only go with the flow...

  Found Sanmiao Street Hutong, it turned out to be a very large hutong, and it was also in the rich district. The surrounding residents were all officials and nobles. Zhu Yuhuan walked into several houses, but couldn't figure out which one was Zhu Yu's place. When he walked to the last house, he found that the door of this house was wide open.

  Zhu Yuhuan took a look inside, the house was lit up and the door was open. At this late hour, with the door and lights on, it seemed like someone was waiting for him. Zhu Yuhuan understood that it was here! He looked around and walked in with big strides.

  There was no one in the courtyard, but the lights were on inside the house. Zhu Yuhuan walked into the house. The main hall of the house had candles lit, and it was quiet inside, still with no one around.

  "He shouted: 'Zhu Yujie? Come out!'"

  No one answered, he turned around and was about to come out, but the door seemed to be blown shut by a strong gust of wind with a "bang"! Immediately after that, someone poured something like water on the door, and his nose caught a pungent smell! Just as Zhu Yuhuan's mind had barely reacted to the fact that it was kerosene, the flames around him suddenly erupted from the ground like they were coming out of nowhere!

  ……

  Zhu Yichan arrived at the north of the city, in a small alley called Mao Er Hutong. Further north, he saw that this side was desolate with many collapsed houses. Among them, there was an inconspicuous mansion nestled in the midst. If one were to say that there was a house that could hide people, only this dilapidated mansion had some possibility, nowhere else could hide anyone.

  He ran over, first sticking to the wall root to listen, and there was no movement inside. Zhu Yuhuan killed someone and stole Liu Luosu, were the people inside not discovered yet, or had they already discovered and gone out to chase?

  He went around to the side door, listened for a moment, and still heard nothing. The surroundings were also quiet. He looked at a nearby tree, ran two steps, borrowed force from the tree, and climbed over the wall.

  He landed lightly inside, observed for a while, and the surroundings were pitch black and silent. He was about to walk in when suddenly a shout came from the front yard, followed by someone yelling: "It's bad! The person has escaped!"

  Zhu Yichan exclaimed in his heart: Oh no, I've been discovered!

  They just realized it now! It would have been better if they had come earlier! This thought flashed through his mind in an instant, but he didn't think about what to do next, and he rushed out already! He must seize the time!

  The footsteps came from the front yard, and Zhu Yichen almost collided with the person rushing out! Fortunately, he heard the footsteps first and quickly dodged to the corner of the wall. The person who rushed out was also flustered and didn't notice him, running towards the front yard while shouting in shock: "Escaped?! That woman escaped?! Where are Pu Feng and the others?!"

  "He's dead! He's dead!" A loud shout came from the front yard, filled with shock and anger.

  Zhu Yicheng was about to follow that person and run over, but suddenly he thought of it fiercely. This person is guarding this yard, so there must be someone on this side! He turned around and ran towards the courtyard where the person had just run out.

  As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard people on that side shouting: "It's gone bad! Hurry back and take a look!"

  Zhu Yicheng rushed into the house like a flying bird! As soon as he entered the house, he heard someone running into the yard behind him! The speed of these two people was not slow at all!

  Zhu Yicheng calmly looked into the house, where a man in his fifties was getting out of bed, looking flustered and frightened. He asked in a cold voice: "Is it Guizhi?" The footsteps behind him had already reached the door!

  Che Gu Mengmeng nodded: "Yes... we know, don't jump words."

  Zhu Yichan took a step forward, and the short sword was out of its scabbard! Along with a string of blood beads splashing on the ground, Che Gui stared wide-eyed in shock to find that his body had slumped to one side! He was just about to shout loudly, but in an instant, he had already stopped breathing.

  Zhu Yichan had already heard the sound of swords behind him and saw them on his back! He rushed forward two steps to dodge, turned around and saw two pale-faced guards rushing in, their eyes red as they stared at him, without saying a word, they charged towards him with their swords!
