Chapter 258 He doesn’t want to be a drag!
"Ma'am, now is not the time to hesitate."
Doctor Qian came hurriedly with an anxious look on his face.
Chu's mother and father looked at each other and saw uneasiness in each other's eyes.
"If we delay any longer, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Father Chu held Mother Chu's hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "Only if I stay can I support them."
He turned to look at Doctor Qian with a firm gaze, "Climb out of that dog hole in the back kitchen, quickly!"
Mother Chu's tears instantly welled up, "Chen Yu is not at home. He went to Wenyuan Pavilion this morning."
Father Chu closed his eyes and said, "It all depends on his luck..."
Everyone gathered in the yard of the big kitchen, and a dog hole appeared in front of everyone through the weeds on the wall.
Everyone's face was filled with tension and anxiety.
Xuan Ge'er hugged Mei Zi's arm tightly, and his small body trembled slightly.
Chu Yueshu tightly grasped the corner of Song Ruyan's clothes, her big eyes filled with fear.
Doctor Qian suddenly stopped, turned around and faced Chu's father.
"Master, I'm not leaving." He said calmly, with a hint of determination in his voice.
Father Chu was stunned, frowning, "What did you say?"
"The blood debt of the thirteen members of the Tian family must be paid. Justice must be sought." Doctor Qian's voice was low and firm, with hatred glittering in his eyes. "I can't just leave like this."
He turned to look at Song Ruyan with a complicated look, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
Those words hidden deep in my heart, those unspeakable emotions, at this moment, all turned into a silent sigh.
Father Chu looked at Doctor Qian, his lips trembled a few times, but he couldn't say anything.
He knew that Dr. Qian had made up his mind and any persuasion would be futile.
"Hurry up and leave!" Doctor Qian urged, signaling to Song Ruyan with his eyes.
Song Ruyan looked at him deeply, then turned around and led everyone towards the narrow dog hole.
One by one, they bent down and crawled out of the hole in humiliation.
In the darkness, there were only the sounds of each other's breathing and the rubbing of clothes.
However, as soon as they crawled out of the dog hole, they found themselves surrounded by the guards.
"It seems that you are still not honest." The commander of the Royal Guard sneered, his voice full of sarcasm.
Chu's mother's heart sank to the bottom. She knew that this time she was probably doomed.
Song Ruyan's sword was unsheathed, blocking Chu's mother and Chu Yueshu.
A melee broke out instantly.
The Imperial Guards are well-trained and have good coordination, while on the Chu family side, only Song Ruyan has strong martial arts skills.
Although she fought hard, she was outnumbered and soon fell into a disadvantage.
In the chaos, Chu's mother suddenly pushed Chu Yueshu towards Song Ruyan and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Ruyan, take Yueshu away! Go quickly!"
Song Ruyan was quick-witted and quick-handed. She grabbed Chu Yueshu's slender waist, tapped the ground with her toes, and flew into the air, landing on the top of the wall.
"Don't let them run away!" The commander of the Royal Guard roared and ordered the soldiers to chase them.
Song Ruyan held Chu Yueshu and ran across the roof, with the footsteps and shouts of the guards chasing after her behind her.
The strong wind ruffled her hair and dried the tears on her face.
She didn't know where she could escape to, she only knew that she had to find Gu Junze.
But she knew that she had to protect Chu Yueshu. This was her promise to the Chu family and also her promise to herself.
We'll be safe once we find Gu Junze...
On the other side, Gu Junze searched the other two villas and found ambushes in all of them without exception.
His heart sank into an ice cellar and the clue was broken.
When I thought of the torture instruments hanging in that secret room, my heart tightened. I wondered what Chu Ruohan's current situation was...
Is she suffering from inhuman torture?
Have those cold torture instruments fallen on her fragile body?
Thinking of this, Gu Junze clenched his fists unconsciously, his knuckles turned white, and his nails dug deep into his palms.
"Gu Chengyan..." He squeezed out these three words from between his teeth, his voice low and full of anger.
Ying Qing stood aside, looking at the prince's tense expression, and asked, "Prince, what should we do now?"
Gu Junze took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Yingqing, you go back to the capital first. I'm afraid the one in Anyang Mansion won't be able to hold out for much longer. The Emperor must have heard about what happened in the Heavenly Prison. Go to the palace and tell him that I will return after I find Han'er. Tell him not to embarrass the Chu family."
"Yes," Ying Qing responded quickly. When he heard the prince say this, he had already been thinking about Chu Yueshu.
Ying Qing left, and Gu Junze stood there, looking at the rolling mountains.
Gu Cheng'an looked at his back, he was so lonely!
Gu Cheng'an's heart ached, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. "There's still one place I haven't searched," he blurted out.
Upon hearing this, Gu Junze immediately turned his head, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "Where?"
"Our father set up a perpetual lamp for the eldest princess in the Great Compassion Zen Temple. I went there to worship when I was a child. At that time, we didn't live in the temple, but in a farmhouse halfway up the mountain." Gu Cheng'an said.
Gu Junze didn't hesitate at all and immediately ordered: "Return to the capital."
Dabei Zen Temple is only five miles away from the capital, but Gu Junze's legs were paralyzed when he was young, and Marquis Anyang never took him out.
Gu Junze and his group galloped towards the capital.
The trees on both sides of the road receded rapidly, as if time was chasing them.
"drive!"
Gu Junze waved the whip, and the horse under his crotch neighed and sped up a bit.
His heart felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on it, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
Chu Ruohan's figure kept flashing through my mind, her smile, her tears, her stubborn and determined eyes...
If something really happened to her...
Gu Junze didn't dare to think about it anymore.
After a long journey, everyone finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The continuous running made the horses exhausted and they collapsed to the ground one after another.
The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on. Gu Cheng'an was walking at the back and slipped without paying attention, spraining his ankle.
"Hiss——" He gasped in pain, a painful expression on his face.
Gu Junze originally wanted Ying San to stay and take care of him.
"Don't worry about me, you guys go first, I'll just rest for a while." Gu Cheng'an said gritting his teeth.
He doesn't want to be a drag!
Gu Junze thought for a moment, nodded, turned and left.
Gu Cheng'an rubbed his swollen ankle and tried to stand up and move forward.
Just after taking two steps, a colorful poisonous snake suddenly jumped out from the grass, and its tongue moved in and out, making a hissing sound.
He was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly.
In a panic, his feet slipped and he rolled down the steep hillside.
"Help……"
The faint cry for help was quickly drowned out by the howling mountain wind...
