Chapter 68 Huo Zheng, You Are Crazy
Huo Zheng and his secret guards salvaged items along the river for a day and a night. He worked tirelessly, and the storm never stopped for a moment.
Jiang He saw the prince vomiting blood with his own eyes. Fearing that something might happen to the prince, he repeatedly advised him to return to Nanzhou City first, but Huo Zheng refused.
He insisted on staying on the boat, he wanted to see Chunzhi being rescued with his own eyes.
But until the next night, the secret guards still couldn't find any trace of Chunzhi.
After continuous salvage, the secret guards were exhausted. Everyone knew that the person who had not been rescued for such a long time must have gone away and never returned, but no one dared to tell Huo Zheng that Chunzhi must have died.
Jiang He didn't even dare to persuade him anymore.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Jingyun rushed over in the rain, rushed up to Huo Zheng and punched him, shouting, "Why do you insist on forcing Chunzhi? Chunzhi is about to leave, why don't you let her go?"
Huo Zheng did not fight back, but looked at Lu Jingyun with a numb expression.
Seeing this, Jiang He rushed over and held Lu Jingyun down, "Master Lu, don't be so presumptuous in front of the prince!"
After Lu Jingyun threw that punch, he suddenly felt a little scared.
No matter what Huo Zheng did, he was the respected King of Chang'an.
And he, Lu Jingyun, was a minor official under the King of Chang'an.
When Lu Jingyun learned that Chunzhi had been caught up by Huo Zheng and his men, and that she had preferred to jump into the river rather than go back, he could not help but feel filled with anger and clenched his fists, "Do you know how much Chunzhi values her life? She just wants to live a good life. Why did you force her into a desperate situation? Why?!"
Every word and every sound Lu Jingyun spoke was almost a roar.
He regretted it.
I regret that I let Chunzhi down for the sake of my future.
She regretted giving Chunzhi the opportunity to become entangled with Prince Chang'an, which cost her Qingqing's life.
Every word Lu Jingyun said was like a sharp knife, stabbing Huo Zheng's heart.
Huo Zheng never thought that Chunzhi would rather jump into the river than go back with him.
When she was betrayed by Lu Jingyun, she did not seek death.
Even when she knew she was being deceived by him, she never thought about dying.
Chunzhi is a strong-willed person. No matter what happens, she will face it head-on. But this time... Huo Zheng just wants Chunzhi to go back with him. Why would she rather jump into the river than go back with him?
Huo Zheng recalled the look Chunzhi gave him before she jumped into the river.
She was so decisive.
The last words she said to him were, "Huo Zheng, goodbye."
Huo Zheng felt an indescribable pain in his heart, and a sweet and fishy taste surged in his throat, making him almost vomit blood again.
He couldn't figure it out.
Why did Chunzhi have to leave him?
He knew that once Haruji made a decision, she would not look back.
This is what happened when I left Lu Jingyun.
This is especially true when I leave him.
Haruji will never forgive those who betrayed and deceived her.
She seems gentle and easy to talk to, but whoever loses her is lost forever.
Lu Jingyun struggled to break free from the shackles of the river and, drenched in the torrential rain, shouted at Huo Zheng, "What on earth did you do to Chunzhi? What did you tell her?"
Huo Zheng remained silent.
Jiang He was afraid that Lu Jingyun would get too excited and irritate the prince, so he chopped Lu Jingyun on the back of the neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious. He handed him over to the secret guard beside him, and then opened the oil-paper umbrella to help the prince block the wind and rain.
Jiang He advised worriedly, "Your Highness, you've been investigating Prince Ning for so long. Now is the critical moment to close the net. You must not let personal interests distract you from the public interest and delay important matters."
A group of subordinates rushed over after hearing the news and tried to persuade him.
Huo Zheng couldn't hear anything.
From childhood to adulthood, he was taught what to do and what not to do, and he abandoned everyone except himself.
Even my emotions are not under my control.
Huo Zheng thought that he would probably live like this for the rest of his life.
Until I met Harue.
She is a person who is easily happy, and a small thing can make her happy for a long time.
Chunzhi, who was so easily satisfied, was pushed into a desperate situation by him.
Huo Zheng looked at the vast river, with the wind blowing and the waves surging, not knowing where to find her trace.
The wind and rain are so strong and the river water is so cold.
Haruji must be very scared.
He walked towards the bow step by step, and was about to go into the water again to look for Chunzhi.
Seeing this, his subordinates stopped him firmly, "Your Highness, you can't do this. Absolutely not, Your Highness!"
Everyone tried their best to stop it.
Even the Nanzhou navy was dispatched to search for Chunzhi's whereabouts.
Huo Yu also got the news and rushed over with his men. Seeing Huo Zheng in such a miserable and distraught state, he said to him, "Qilang, didn't you say that a country girl was just a plaything? Why are you making such a fuss just because you lost your plaything?"
Huo Zheng's expression was icy as he grabbed Huo Yu's neck and said, "It's all your fault!"
If Huo Yu hadn't suddenly run to find Chunzhi.
He and Harue would never end up like this.
"Huo, Huo Zheng, are you crazy?!"
Huo Yu was suddenly strangled by the neck, unable to breathe. His face quickly began to turn purple and he couldn't even speak clearly.
The people from Prince Ning's Mansion who were accompanying him were terrified when they saw this. Two of them rushed forward and shouted, "Prince Chang'an, please let the prince go!"
"The prince is here to help you find someone, Prince Chang'an!"
"I don't need his help." Huo Zheng's hands gained more and more strength, and he was about to break Huo Yu's neck.
"Your Highness! Please spare his life!" Jiang He quickly stopped him.
Prince Ning deserves to die, but he cannot die here, and certainly not at the hands of the prince.
Huo Zheng had almost lost his mind. He slapped Huo Yu half to death and asked the secret guards to tie him up.
"Prince Chang'an, what are you doing?"
"Our prince is your cousin, isn't he?"
"Someone, hurry up and report back to the palace to the prince! Prince Chang'an has gone mad, he wants to kill our prince!"
Huo Yu's followers were scared to death and shouted loudly, asking the people on the boat behind to turn around immediately and rush back to Prince Ning's Mansion to report to Prince Ning.
Huo Zheng ordered in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to leave."
The Nanzhou navy obeyed the order and detained everyone in Prince Ning's mansion.
There was a storm on the river, and lightning and thunder were flashing in the sky, sometimes brighter and sometimes darker.
Lightning illuminated half of Huo Zheng's face.
It made him look like a Shura from hell.
Haruji can't be found.
Then let’s destroy Prince Ning’s Mansion first.
Huo Zheng swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat and asked the secret guards to stay and continue searching for Chunzhi along the river. He led the Nanzhou navy to the Ning Wang Mansion and took advantage of the rainy night to massacre the Ning Wang Mansion.
He went mad and chopped off King Ning's head with his own hands.
Prince Ning originally wanted to discuss the relationship between uncle and nephew with Huo Zheng, saying that even if Huo Zheng was guilty, he would be taken back to the capital for trial, and it was not the turn of Huo Zheng, a junior, to be convicted.
Huo Zheng didn't listen to what he said at all. He held the sword in his hand and killed without mercy.
All of Prince Ning's men were arrested and imprisoned, and anyone who resisted or tried to escape was killed on the spot.
On a stormy night, the entire Ning Wang Mansion was flooded with blood.
So much so that people in the entire Nanzhou would shudder when they mentioned King Chang'an in the future.
Since then, Huo Zheng fell seriously ill. He led the crowd to salvage along the river for a month, but could not find any trace of Chunzhi.
Chunzhi seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, no one saw him alive, and no one found his body after his death.
