Chapter 341: So Ungrateful

[Fuck! When did I unlock the Crow Mouth skill?]

Chu Liuzheng's eyes widened in shock. Just as he was about to hide to the side, a strong arm suddenly grabbed his lower back and his eyes flashed.

The tip of my nose hit a hard yet soft wall of flesh, accompanied by a slight pain, and a faint sandalwood scent filled my nasal cavity.

[Hiss—are Chen Xing's breasts really that hard? ]

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Chu Liuzheng suddenly heard a loud "bang" in his ears, like the sound of a carriage overturning, and several screams rang out in the crowd.

"Master!"

"Sister Liu Zheng!"

It’s Chen Xing’s voice.

Wait! The one calling her is Chen Xing, so who is the one holding her?

Chu Liuzheng opened his eyes and stared at the wrinkled cloth in front of him. The color and pattern looked so familiar.

[Holy crap! He's actually a tyrant!]

Her eyes widened and she jumped back like a fish that had accidentally jumped onto the shore.

The arm around his waist tightened instantly. Xiao Jingfan withdrew his gaze from the overturned carriage, frowned and glanced into his arms: "Don't move."

【Is there an assassin? 】

Chu Liuzheng didn't dare to move for a moment. He turned his head and looked around vigilantly.

There were guards all around. Through the gap, one could see an overturned carriage not far away. The wheels were still turning, but the carriage was torn into pieces, with wood chips and debris scattered everywhere.

The horse pulling the cart fell silently to the ground, dead.

The driver stood beside a girl with her face covered with a veil, still in shock. He kept wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeves, bending over and thanking Lu Fei repeatedly.

Nearby, Chen Xing and Zhou Yuande stood outside the guard circle, looking at this side without blinking.

I don’t know if it was Chu Liuzheng’s illusion, but I always felt that there were light bulbs in their eyes, so bright and shining.

【There is no assassin.】

Chu Liuzheng was puzzled. Why couldn't they move if there were no assassins?

She looked up at Xiao Jingfan and called out doubtfully, "Master?"

[Could you please be more specific about what you want to do so I can cooperate.]

Cooperate?

Xiao Jingfan's eyes moved slightly, it was a good suggestion.

The hand on the lower back not only did not loosen, but tightened even more. The warmth from the palm seemed to be directly attached to the skin through the thin spring clothes, and could not be ignored.

Chu Liuzheng felt something was strange, so he put a little force on the hand on Xiao Jingfan's chest and pushed it away.

"Hold steady." Xiao Jingfan let go of his hand, his expression the same as usual, as if he was just helping out.

"Thank you, young master." As the big hand withdrew, the strange feeling in Chu Liuzheng's heart also faded away, and he felt that the boss was a pretty good person.

The carriage lost control suddenly just now. If Xiao Jingfan hadn't come to the rescue, given where she was standing, even if she could have avoided it, she would probably have been injured.

"Sister." Chen Xing ran over and grabbed Chu Liuzheng, checking him up and down. "You were at the very outside just now. Did you get bumped?"

"It's okay." Apart from a little heat in his lower back, Chu Liuzheng didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere.

The Tyrant's palms are a little warm. Perhaps he hasn't eaten or slept well these days due to the long journey, and he's also worried about the Grand Tutor, Prince Rui, and the others, so he's a little irritated. I wonder if Doctor Feng is sober yet. Could you please take the Tyrant's pulse?

She was thinking secretly in her heart and didn't notice that Xiao Jingfan suddenly glanced at her.

"I wanted to pull my sister's just now, but the young master was faster than me." Chen Xing said as he smoothed the wrinkles on Chu Liuzheng's clothes around his waist, pouting slightly, like a child who didn't get the candy.

"Young Master is closer to me." Chu Liuzheng comforted the girl while searching for the sugar-coated cake he hadn't eaten yet. "You were just buying fried skewers, so it's normal for you to react a little slowly. Don't worry about it."

Hearing this, Chen Xing blinked and stared at Chu Liuzheng.

Chu Liuzheng:?

"Is there dirt on my face?"

Chen Xing shook his head, glanced at Xiao Jingfan, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Hehehe, there will be good shows to watch later!

"Make way, make way! Don't block the road!" A girl in a pink skirt led a group of servants in blue shorts, pushed away the onlookers, and ran towards the masked girl.

"Sister!" The girl in the pink skirt hugged the masked girl. "I didn't see you when I came out of the shop. I heard that the carriage had lost control, so I hurriedly brought people to chase it. Fortunately, you are okay."

"Thanks to this hero for saving me." The masked girl looked at Lu Fei. The girl in the pink skirt also looked over, her head tilted slightly: "You saved my sister?"

The situation was critical just now, and it was indeed Lu Fei who killed the horse with a palm, and also saved the masked girl who was thrown out of the carriage.

He nodded and turned to leave.

"Sir, please stay," the masked girl said. "I've been saved by you, and I haven't thanked you yet. Could you please tell me your name?"

"It's just a small favor." Lu Fei simply waved his hand back and ignored the two sisters. He strode up to Xiao Jingfan and bowed, saying, "Master, there's something wrong with that horse."

The horse's eyes were red, obviously it had been given a stimulant drug and could not be calmed down, otherwise he would not have simply beaten the horse to death with one slap.

Xiao Jingfan glanced at where the two sisters were, then glanced at the people watching around. A dark light flashed across his eyes, and he said to everyone, "Go back to the inn."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved to Chu Liuzheng: "Follow me."

There seems to be more warmth in the words than before

"Oh, okay." Chu Liuzheng didn't care about the two lost sugar-coated cakes, and hurriedly pulled Chen Xing to follow.

Zhou Yuande followed behind, and when he recalled the scene just now, he felt so relieved that he wanted to wipe away tears.

Finally, finally there is progress!

He knew he was not mistaken!

The guards followed closely behind, secretly alert to their surroundings.

But before they had gone far, they heard a shout from behind: "All the heroes, please stay."

A tall and strong servant caught up with him.

Xiao Jingfan paused.

As soon as he stopped, everyone stopped and turned to look at the servant.

The servant smiled as he presented a stack of banknotes to Xiao Jingfan, who was clearly the center of attention. "We are from the Huang family. These five hundred taels are a thank-you gift from my young lady. Please accept them, righteous man."

[It was clearly Lord Lu who saved the life, so we should thank Lord Lu. Why should we give banknotes to the tyrant?]

Chu Liuzheng blinked, not quite understanding the logic behind Miss Huang's thanks.

Could it be that the masked young lady from the Huang Mansion thought that the tyrant had sent Lord Lu to save her, and so she attributed the life-saving grace to the tyrant?

Xiao Jingfan glanced at her and said to the servant, "No need."

The servant's smile froze. He obviously didn't expect Xiao Jingfan to refuse so bluntly. This is five hundred taels!

"The favor of saving me should not be taken lightly. This is a token of my young lady's love. Please accept it." The servant adjusted his mood and handed the banknote forward, determined to give it away.

This time Xiao Jingfan didn't say a word and turned and left.

Chu Liuzheng and others hurried to catch up.

No one in the group paid any attention to the servant and just left him behind.

Housekeeper: “…”

His face turned pale and blue. He didn't expect that someone would actually refuse the money that was delivered to his door.

It's not just one or two taels, he gave a full five hundred taels.

He didn't even take a look at him. Who is this young man wearing a fox mask?

Seeing that everyone had gone away, the servant had no choice but to go back with the banknotes to report.

If you fail to complete the task, you will naturally be scolded.

"How ungrateful!" The woman in the pink skirt stamped her feet angrily and glared at the servant, "Waste!"
