Chapter 506: Lu Zhong Comes to the Rescue

After Yun Qimu cut off the last head and Hua Mingfei knocked the captain unconscious, he turned around and saw the dirty boy in the corner of the abandoned palace courtyard, looking at them with his bright black eyes and clapping excitedly.

Seeing them looking over, the young man didn't shy away. He boldly picked up the sword at hand and approached them with a grin. Then, holding the sword in one hand, he clasped his fists and thanked them solemnly, "Thank you both for saving my life."

"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake." Yun Qimu smiled at him and nodded modestly.

What she actually wanted to say was that this unlucky kid took the knife for them.

Of course, Yun Qimu and Hua Mingfei are not fools, and they would not tell such a big truth in front of a boy they just met.

Seeing her approachable face, the seriousness on the boy's face did not last long. He raised his head and resumed his bold and cheerful smile. He even approached them in a familiar manner and said, "Miss, are you and this big brother here to rescue people too?"

"Save people?" Yun Qimu and the other man looked at each other with suspicion on their faces.

"Yes, the King of Han has captured a lot of men to dig for mines recently. My father, my mother, and my grandfather were all taken away to dig mines. I wanted to save them, so I sneaked in at night to take a look. Even if I can't save anyone, it would be helpful to familiarize myself with the route. I heard a lot of noise over here just now, so I wanted to come over and investigate. I didn't expect to be discovered as soon as I got close. If it weren't for you two saving me, I would have died here."

The young man, who was originally full of energy, had his head drooped as he spoke. He looked at them pitifully, like a puppy that had lost its dream.

Yun Qimu looked a little embarrassed, "We are not here to rescue anyone, we just stumbled into this place by mistake."

"Oh." The brilliance in the boy's eyes dimmed. He originally thought that if the two were so powerful and they were also here to rescue people, he would have gone with them, but now...

"Hurry, hurry, over there." A group of orderly voices came from outside, probably attracted by the noise they made here.

The young man was too frustrated to care about it anymore. He started panicking. "What should we do? We're going to be discovered. I heard that the King of Han's guards are very powerful."

"Well, there are indeed a few people with special abilities inside." Yun Qimu said lightly as he looked at the lights outside that were getting closer and closer.

Then she turned to look at Hua Mingfei, "Uncle, let's leave here first."

Hua Mingfei nodded solemnly, "Yes."

Then Yun Qimu walked over, picked up three people who were not dead but just fainted from the pile of corpses, threw them into the space, called the young man and was about to climb over the wall to the other side.

The young man was still immersed in her action of making the three strong men disappear, wondering what kind of supernatural power this was.

Hua Mingfei pulled him and said, "Follow me."

"Oh oh oh." The young man quickly came back to his senses, looked vigilantly in the direction of the light, and then quickly followed Hua Mingfei over the wall.

Although his kung fu was not yet perfected and he had not yet reached the level of flying with a sword, he could still easily climb a three-person-high wall. Yun Qimu and Hua Mingfei, who were waiting for him outside the wall, were also very satisfied. At least he was not a burden.

Then the young man shut up and followed the two men silently. The three of them moved in perfect harmony to avoid the patrolling guards, and finally found the outermost wall of the King of Han's palace without any danger.

This is the place where the boy came in before, and it is said to have the weakest defense.

In the alley outside the palace walls, several restless people were hiding.

"Brother Lu, please let me go. I was the one who told Xing Ran that a new group of people had been captured in the Han Palace, so he would go in. This is all my fault. If anything happens to him, how am I going to explain to Grandpa Xing?"

"Miss Lin, you don't have to blame yourself. It was that brat Xing Ran who ignored the overall situation and acted impulsively. You stay here, I'll go."

"But."

"No need to persuade me. I am the strongest here, and it is safest for me to go. If something unexpected happens to me and I don't come back, don't stay here for long. Leave the city as soon as possible and reunite with the Witch King."

As he spoke, a young man with a somewhat rough appearance rushed out of the alley. Like Xing Ran, he was wearing a blue robe that was washed to a pale color, and a black scarf covered his face.

He carefully observed his surroundings first, and seeing that the patrol guard had left, he cautiously moved to the wall and began to roll up his sleeves, lifted up his robe and tucked it into his waistband. Then he spat twice on his hands and was about to climb the wall when he suddenly saw a person jumping down from above.

Lu Zhong's pupils shrank and he quickly moved to the side, then took a few steps back.

He didn't say anything, but just looked at the person who jumped down with his tiger eyes vigilantly.

But when the person jumped down and took a look, he was shocked. It turned out to be a girl, a very beautiful and young girl.

Yun Qimu was also startled by Lu Zhong who was standing over there. After she stood still on the ground, she frowned slightly and looked at Lu Zhong with dark eyes. Just when she was about to remind her uncle not to turn over in a hurry, the young man on the wall jumped down first.

When Lu Zhong saw the person who had fallen from the top again and confirmed that it was Xing Ran, he no longer cared why a girl had jumped down from here. The anger in his eyes immediately flared up as he glared at the young man, "Xing Ran."

Although he was angry, he still kept his composure and didn't shout loudly to avoid attracting anyone. He just shouted in a low voice.

The young man Xing Ran, who had escaped death, was about to be happy, but when he heard someone calling his name, he turned his head and his body immediately froze.

She shrank her neck and smiled awkwardly at the man, "Brother Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Zhong glared at him, gnashing his white teeth and grinning, "What do you think—"

Xing Ran shrank her neck again and lowered her head like a young wife, "I, I know I was wrong."

"Hmph." Lu Zhong gave him a look, indicating that they would settle the score later. Then he looked at the man and woman standing with Xing Ran.

Just as he was about to ask, he heard footsteps coming from afar, so he immediately changed the subject, lowered his voice and said seriously, "Let's leave here first."

Yun Qimu and Hua Mingfei had no objections. They smiled at him and then followed him, trotting lightly towards the alley.

Soon, several subdued excited voices were heard from the alley, "It's Brother Lu, Brother Lu is back."

"Xing Ran is back too, that's great."

There were five people hiding in the corner, four men and one woman, all of whom looked quite young. As soon as they saw them, their faces were immediately filled with excited smiles.

Lu Zhong's expression relaxed slightly, but he still gave them a serious look and said, "Let's leave here first."

"Ohhh, okay."

The five excited people quickly calmed down, and then they quickly showed Lu Zhong the way in a well-trained manner.
