Chapter 71: Life and Death

  Zhurong cried loudly with her head held high, completely disregarding the gaze of those around her. In this era, it's rare for a man to cry like this, let alone a woman.

  "Girl." Guo Jia walked forward, he had never thought that this wild girl would pay so much! In Guo Jia's heart, it was just picking a flower, and as a city-raised child in modern society with many greenhouses, he naturally thought that even on a winter day, it would be easy to pick a fresh flower outdoors.

  "Don't touch me!" Zhu Rong slapped away Guo Jia's hand, turned around and ran, "This place is no fun at all! I'll never come to Zhongyuan again! Waaah~~"

  Guo Jia's eyebrows furrowed instantly. If it were an ordinary day, that would be fine, but Guo Jia was very clear that today was completely different. With Wild Child in her current state running around outside, how could anyone feel at ease?

  If luck is bad, really encounter some turmoil, it's easy to be killed by chaotic knives. Moreover, the wild girl lives alone outside the city, and those troops outside may take action today!

  Thinking of this, Guo Jia also couldn't leave Ye Lü'er alone outside unattended, and hastily instructed the person beside him.

  "Yuanzi! You bring people back for me. No, you stay here instead, remember what I said before, I'll go myself."

  Saying so, he ignored the shocked expressions of the crowd and ran out directly.

  "I'll be back soon!"

  After all, human life is at stake, and Guo Yuan may not be able to bring that wild girl back. Moreover, he has a more important task. So Guo Jia decided to go after her himself. In his eyes, the wild girl's life was more important than the wedding ceremony anyway. Besides, it was still early for the auspicious hour of the wedding ceremony, and Guo Jia thought he could hurry back soon, with little impact.

  Although Guo Jia thought so, he knew that human life is at stake, but others didn't know. In the eyes of others, Guo Jia abandoned his wedding and left his fiancée unattended, instead chasing after a worthless wild woman, which was simply unthinkable!

  Cai Yong's face turned green with rage, and if he had heart disease, he would have collapsed by now. Cai Yan also covered her mouth and started crying softly beside him.

  When this happened, the people on the scene were all at a loss, not knowing what to do. Guo Jia, Xin Pi, Xun Yu and others rushed up to comfort Cai Yan, while Cao Cao was also comforting Cai Wenji on the side. All those who had a close relationship with Guo Jia were frantically dealing with these things, but Guo Yuan was unable to move, so in the end, only Guo Jia chased after him alone. Everyone completely forgot to arrange for someone else to follow up and take a look.

  Guo Jia had just left for a short while, and Cai Yong and Cai Yan in the government office were still being comforted by the crowd. Outside, a lone horseman came galloping at high speed.

  "Oh no, sir!"

  As soon as he arrived at the gate of Cai's mansion, before the horse had even stopped, he jumped down from above and rolled on the ground. Then, disregarding the obstruction beside him, he rushed into the mansion in a flurry of scrambling and running.

  "Oh no, sir! General He Jin has been killed!"

  "What?!" The whole scene was shocked, Cao Cao rushed up and grabbed the collar of the newcomer, shouting "Tell me clearly, what's going on?!"

  "Earlier, General Taizhen received an edict from the Empress Dowager to enter the palace, but unexpectedly was killed by the Ten Eunuchs on charges of treason!" The newcomer quickly replied.

  "Is this true?!" Yuan Shao burst out in anger.

  "A thousand truths and ten thousand certainties!"

  For a moment, everyone was stunned.

  Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked at each other, then shouted in unison.

  "Avenge the great general!" Then quickly left, went to adjust the troops and prepare to kill into the palace, and exterminate all eunuchs. And Guo Yuan naturally followed suit, with an excited face, following along with Guo Jia's previous orders.

  I don't know why Zhang Rang and others are so naive. Shooting the horse before shooting the person, capturing the thief before capturing the king, is of course not wrong, but don't think that just killing the mastermind will make everything okay. The eunuchs are only a handful of people, with only a few soldiers under their command, how can they possibly withstand the impact of Yuan Shao and others? These ten attendants really think that others dare not kill their way into the imperial palace.

  After Cao Cao and others left, other dignitaries in the Cai residence also bid farewell one after another. With such a big event happening now, who would care about the wedding? They all went back home to discuss important matters.

  The originally bustling Cai Mansion suddenly became quiet and deserted. The people left, leaving only the close relatives of the Cai and Guo families still in the mansion, who gathered together to discuss in hushed tones.

  Suddenly, Guo Tu just violently reacted.

  "Where's Filial Piety? Hasn't Filial Piety returned yet?!"

  Such a big thing, of course, had to be discussed with clever people, so Guo Tu immediately thought of Guo Jia.

  "Damn it! It's so dangerous outside now, hurry up and send someone to bring him back!" Seeing that Guo Jia had not returned to the mansion, Guo Tu hastily gave orders.

  "Yes, all right." The others didn't react until then and hastily sent someone out to look for Guo Jia.

  Beside her, Cai Wenji bit her lip and grasped the little maid Ming'er tightly, with sweat filling her palms.

  "Don't worry, young master will be fine." She comforted him beside her, but she herself was also worried to death.

  ······

  Guo Jia followed Zhu Rong out of Cai's mansion,

  Although his body was weak, short-distance running was still no problem, but after chasing Zhu Rong for a street, Guo Jia was already somewhat exhausted. Unfortunately, the wild girl in front didn't have any intention of stopping at all, and no matter what Guo Jia said, it was useless.

  Hoo... Hoo...

  Running and running, Guo Jia's eyes turned around, if we continue to run like this, it won't work, it seems that we can't help but think of something. Who says that in such a situation, the brain is useless?

  Only to see Guo Jia slowly stop in his tracks, then just like falling asleep, he directly fell to the ground, and then loudly shouted.

  "Ah~~~ Oh~~~~"

  He looked up and saw that the wild girl didn't react at all. There was no other way, so Guo Jia could only continue calling out.

  "Oh no, I fell! It hurts so much!"

  He lifted his head again and still didn't react.

  Damn it! Guo Jia suddenly became depressed. Isn't that how they always act on TV? A man and a woman, one chasing the other, the person running in front looks like they won't stop even if they die, but as soon as the person behind trips and falls, the person in front will inevitably run back to show concern.

  Is this truth, which is on a par with the miracle of surviving a fall from a cliff, now useless here?!

  It has come to this point, and the person in front of him, Zhu Rong, hasn't even turned his head back. The strange gazes from the people around him have made Guo Jia's face burn with embarrassment.

  "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone fall before? It's just a gentle fall, that's all!" Guo Jia yelled at the surrounding people with annoyance, then loudly called out to the front.

  "If you want me to die here, then keep running!"

  This was Guo Jia's last attempt. If Ye Lü'er ran any further, he wouldn't be able to catch up and would have no choice but to turn back home.

  As a result, the fire in front really stopped. Turning around, he ran back directly.

  Guo Jia had just let out a sigh of relief, propped himself up, sat on the ground, and looked up to see his eyelid twitching suddenly.

  "Wait, what do you want to do?"
