The Yuyi Academy was still quiet today. Murong Yan washed up early, passed by the empty school grounds and the teaching room where there was no sound of reading, and then came to Qi Chuyun to check her physical condition.
It has been half a month since the martial law began, and this routine life has continued for half a month. Are the walls of the academy high enough? At least it can block most external malice, but it cannot trap the thoughts of those in the boudoir.
"I'm so depressed every day, and the slave family is going crazy!" Ajuan complained more than once.
Murong Yan would always calmly comfort her and say, "Be patient. When the war gets better, everything will be fine."
Normally, only Yue Qingling could be ordered to go out to the academy to inquire about news or purchase supplies. Ajuan and Murong Yan usually went to the Hongyi Hall next to the academy to ask Tao Wuyong for medicine before returning.
On this day, Yue Qingling, who had gone out to inquire about the news, returned to the academy after only one stick of incense. Seeing the smile that could not be concealed on her face, she loudly announced: "Senior Sister Murong, the battle on the frontline has turned the corner, and the armies have successfully reunited!"
"Really!" Ajuan rushed to Yue Qingling and asked, "When will Zhao Kuo come back?"
Yue Qingling smiled bitterly and turned to look at Murong Yan. Seeing him nodding, she dared to say: "The battle is not over yet, how can we come back?"
"Ah?" Ajuan whimpered and left in disappointment.
Murong Yan wholeheartedly agreed: "Having heard the good news from the front, will Yuyi Town be more peaceful? Miss Ajuan, if you want to go out for a walk, please go out with Junior Sister Yue next time."
Ajuan said in disbelief: "If Miss Murong is left alone to take care of Miss Qi, nothing will happen, right?"
Murong Yan said: "Don't worry, Miss Qi has calmed down a lot in the past few days, and she doesn't want to escape anymore."
After hearing this, Ajuan and Yue Qingling looked at each other and smiled, as if telling each other that they had many places to go: "Then...tomorrow, let's go to the teacher first and ask him to write a letter for me, okay? "
"It's up to you, just don't go too long." Yue Qingling smiled and said, "It's not safe after dark."
The two made an appointment and set off the next day, leaving Murong Yan and Qi Chuyun alone.
After losing the poisonous flower, Qi Chuyun returned to her dull face. Although she could remember things now, there was obviously still a long way to go before she could fully recover.
Murong Yan would spend a long time talking to Qi Chuyun every day, talking about the past and the present, but she remained unmoved. Only when she talked about Qi Chuyun's hobby of picking up fallen leaves and flowers, her long-closed heart rippled slightly and she murmured.
"Flowers... count the flowers... a hundred." She still didn't know that the box where she hid the flowers was filled with reddish-brown dead leaves.
Suddenly, other people's voices seemed to be heard outside the house.
Murong Yan thought someone had come back to deliver news, so she stood up and opened the window and took a look outside. Unexpectedly, she saw several men she had never met before walking around in the courtyard and looking around.
"Could they be the minions of those nobles?" Murong Yan thought to herself: "Unexpectedly, the improvement in the fighting on the front line failed to change their minds. Instead, it made them more desperate."
After thinking for a moment, Murong Yan immediately returned to Qi Chuyun to comfort her, and then waited for the opportunity. After a moment, Qi Chuyun suddenly became extremely uneasy, but when she saw her curling up between the quilts, her whole body couldn't stop trembling.
"Miss Qi, what happened?" Before Murong Yan could finish her words, a voice came from not far away from the door and said: "Is everything done? Let's leave quickly!"
In an instant, the smell of gunpowder smoke hit her nostrils. Murong Yan followed the smell and saw a puff of black smoke leaping into the house. Not long after, an open fire burst out.
"Is it on fire?" She was shocked and said: "Miss Qi, let's go quickly!"
Qi Chuyun was unmoved.
"Miss Qi?" Murong Yan opened the quilt and saw that although the other party was very scared, she did not cry. She just closed her eyes tightly and her body was as stiff as a dying fish, twitching from time to time.
"Miss Qi, do you still want to live?" Murong Yan was afraid of being heard by the gangster who was still not far away. She suppressed her anxiety and persuaded softly: "Listen to me, follow me, I can take you out. .”
She slowly opened her eyes, and after catching a glimpse of a few clusters of flames, her expression became strange.
"It's all you, it's all your fault!" Qi Chuyun's voice was full of resentment, as if it had been brewing for a long time. She suddenly shouted: "Stop, you scum!"
The sound was so penetrating that it attracted the arsonist who wanted to leave.
"Why are there still people? Hey, people inside, come out quickly."
"Didn't the intelligence say that everyone in the academy has gone out?"
"No matter, it sounds like a woman. Kill her and go back to report. Anyway, this matter must not be exposed!"
Murong Yan watched Qi Chuyun walk to the door with indescribable emotions. When she saw her, she was about to go out to fight. She said softly: "Miss Qi, you?" Before she finished speaking, Qi Chuyun pretended not to see her and waved her hand casually. Then he took Murong Yan to the ground.
"I will kill you all and avenge the people of the Villa!"
After that, Qi Chuyun broke out of the door, and with extremely charming body skills, she jumped on an arsonist, sealed his eyes and nose with tiger claws, and then grabbed his weapon and sealed his throat with a knife!
The cruelty of the technique is jaw-dropping.
Murong Yan knew she was powerless to stop him, so she could only follow behind him secretly, and then find a way to escape outside the academy as soon as possible.
After Qi Chuyun took a life of one person, her murderous intention continued and became even more crazy. She swung her knife as fast as lightning and quickly killed several people in succession. The whole courtyard suddenly burst into mourning and the ground was soaked with blood.
A young boy was forced into a corner and was unable to resist. He knelt down and begged for mercy, asking: "You...who are you!"
"Longhu Villa, Long Zhang, I'm here to kill you today." After saying that, Qi Chuyun raised the knife and dropped it, and the boy's head fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the remaining servants realized that they had no power to fight back and fled one after another. Unfortunately, just as Murong Yan was about to escape outside the academy, she happened to be bumped into by Qi Chuyun. She indiscriminately swung her knife to catch up and kill her. Murong Yan couldn't dodge and was stabbed in the back. Her body instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
"It's you who ruined my family!" Qi Chuyun gritted her teeth, as if she was facing her father-killing enemy: "Do you have anything else to say today?"
Murong Yan leaned on her body and climbed up, and replied weakly: "Miss Qi, it's me, don't you recognize me?"
"No matter who you are, the person who harmed our Longhu Villa must die!"
Soon enough, several locust stones arrived and hit various acupuncture points on Qi Chuyun's body. Qi Chuyun immediately felt paralyzed in her limbs and had no choice but to drop the butcher knife. Seeing that she was staggering, she walked around in place for a few times. When she was about to fall, Su Qing arrived in time to hold her up.
"Miss Murong?" Su Qing asked, "You are injured. I will take you to Hongyi Pavilion now."
"Don't worry about me, I can do it myself..." Murong Yan endured the severe pain and stood up. Even if it was a stab wound, her body healed at an extraordinary speed: "You can help take care of Miss Qi first... And! Academy!" It’s on fire, call someone quickly to put it out!”
Su Qing pointed to the place where the fire broke out and explained: "You don't have to worry about this. You see, the guy from Rat Hunchback came earlier than me. It turns out that he has been sending people to watch the academy secretly."
Murong Yan looked around and saw some people dressed as beggars, people dressed as traffickers, and many ordinary people who came over voluntarily carrying buckets. At this time, she took a long breath and smiled happily. .
