Chapter 33: Hua’s Mansion

Outside the palace, at ChangSan city not far from the center of SanPo,

A group of cavalry led by Luo Xiang stopped in front of a large house gate, a gate that should have been guarded and closed tightly, but no.

The house located at the end of the road and rarely trespassing by pedestrians make the mansion out of reach, no one will even notice if something happened in there.

The Crown Prince has a feeling something was happening at the house and goes there for checking, something telling him to go there, and, he might be right.

LuoXiang got off his horse, BeiYau and some trained guards standby with the swords drawn from their waists, carefully, Beiyau slowly pushed the big high red-painted door open, just like other houses of YueYang resident, LuoXiang widened his eyes, he hoped it wasn’t like what he thought, just hoping that the house just happened to be so quiet, but...

They never prepared what they were going to find thereafter the door was open wide.

“Your Highness”

.....

BeiYau stretched out his hand to prevent LuoXiang from going further, blood-splattered, even under LuoXiang’s feet where he almost stepped on it if it wasn’t because BeiYau prevents him.

LuoXiang’s eyes wide open, BeiYau clenched his hand beside his head, ordering his men to keep alert.

“Check around, be careful!” exclaimed BeiYau, his men nodded,

“Ready!”

LuoXiang swallowed hard, he’s quite familiar with that courtyard, the incident he’d experienced before now flashed back into his head, the memory where so many stiff bodies fell on the courtyard, at that time the heavy rain had even made the yard as a pool full of blood, and now, it’s happening again.

LuoXiang just realized and rushed towards the house.

“Oh No Merchant Hua”

The Crown Prince and his men rushed into the house, it didn’t take long for them to immediately found piles of bodies in the living room that seemed to be killed on the spot after being tortured, the bodies of Merchant Hua and his wife as well as some servants, who died horribly covered in their own blood.

LuoXiang’s body’s limp, seeing those lifeless people covered with blood.

Soon BeiYau’s men rushed in after checking the other room in the big house, he lowered his head in front of BeiYau.

“Report master! There’s a body in another room.”

LuoXiang straightened up and rushed to the room that the man referred to.

“Take me there!”

It didn’t take long for everyone to enter the room that was none other than BaiYing’s room, a figure of a young woman falls on her knees with two hands tied behind her stiff body, full of blood, even with torn clothes here and there almost showing her body, her face almost unfigured with too many injuries she had, but LuoXiang still can recognize her clearly.

“Oh No”

LuoXiang facing his men.

“BeiYau, report this to the in-charge authorities, how come incidents like this happen and no one reports it?”

LuoXiang grit his teeth and clenched his fist holding the hilt of his sword firmly while holding back his anger. All of his men reported and did not find any surviving victims.

“A total of twenty-two victims, including all the men and women, and their daughters were all killed, their bodies were still not too stiff, possibly the assassination happened not long ago” reported BeiYau.

LuoXiang’s opens his eyes wide.

“That, probably happened around last night when the attacker came and was about to kidnap concubine Hua, oh no YingYing, we will back to the palace, BeiYau sent your best man to take care of all this”

LuoXiang rushed to the door, he had to return to the palace immediately, but, when he just arrived in front of the large door, his eyes saw someone who was not expected to be there, among all the people.

BaiYing.

He slowly stepped into the door with his two maids on his sides, he was already there, in front of his own house after a long time.

His eyes opened wide, looking at the sight of all the people on the ground covered in blood, his house courtyard, his hand, and knee-shaking, barely move.

“Uncle Hu, Uncle Bao” he lowered down his body to check one by one of the cold body, it’s like a dream, this may be just a dream, BaiYing stepped into the garden where everyone he knew had fallen with a body covered in blood, he couldn’t believe it, his chest tightened to imagine the worst, this is just a nightmare.

“YingYing!”

LuoXiang reached out to BaiYing, holding both his shoulders as his body was dazed, BaiYing’s knees weak, could not move and his body stiff as stone, his big eyes looked straight at the whole house where everyone he knew was not moving on the ground.

“No”

BaiYing almost fell but he rushed toward the house with his slender body, Luo Xiang and his maids were too late to stop him.

“No Father!”

BaiYing immediately rushed to see the body sitting at the chairs with a body covered in wounds and blood, his father’s, the slightly fat old man who sat down with a pale face and bleeding mouth, BaiYing shook him.

“Father, Father this is Ying’er, Father! Mother! Please wake up and see Ying’er” the faces of his parents that he long missed, and now seeing them lying stiffly in front of him, is this real?

LuoXiang glanced at the two of BaiYing’s maids, how did they come here?

Yan and Bi tried to grab BaiYing’s limp body.

“Your Majesty”

“No this is not happening, Father, Mother, Ying’er has done all that you want, please open your eyes, Ying’er has complied, please don’t leave Ying’er alone, Father! Huks ”

His maids couldn’t hold the tears and cried while holding BaiYing’s limp body until he fell down to the floor, his luxurious clothes stained blood splattered on the floor and on his parent’s body who he hugged them tightly now.

“Father, Mother”

LuoXiang hugged BaiYing’s limp body and tried to lift him up from the floor.

“YingYing, calm yourself.” he stroked his back gently.

BaiYing’s body trembled so hard, his body so heavy to the floor as LuoXiang tried to lift him, LuoXiang raised his head to hold back his tears from falling too.

While he was still trying to calm BaiYing down, suddenly a sound of moaning from outside.

“Akh!”

Not just one, but some other groaning sounds followed, BeiYau glanced forward, were suddenly an arrow attack flew towards the house, arrows with flames that instantly burned the surroundings.

“Your Majesty take cover!” exclaimed BeiYau.

LuoXiang held onto BaiYing tightly, pulled him fast, and took cover behind the wall with his maids.

“BeiYau, where did they come from?!”

The sound of swords clashing could be heard outside the house, some of BeiYau’s men immediately took cover and dashed the arrows with their swords, but the fire immediately burned the yard, and some of the arrows even hit the doors and walls of the house and the fire spread rapidly.

“This is a trap!”

LuoXiang thought, why didn’t he think about this earlier when they entered the house and especially with BaiYing there? it seemed that the killers had already thought of this plan before, while he was thinking about the way out, suddenly from the front of them, some people in black clothes surged in and immediately ran to LuoXiang and his men with full attacks.

“Hiaatt!”
