Chapter 20 Heart Flies Away

Judging from the noise outside, it seems that there are a lot of people coming.

Su Lan's face turned pale, and she hugged Jiang Yueyao in her arms.

"Yaoyao, is this... is it coming to kill us?"

Jiang Yueyao was so angry that her teeth were itching.

But he comforted Sulan with his mouth.

"Don't be afraid, Lord Lu is here. He has many experts around him and will definitely protect us." Jiang Yueyao came out of Sulan's arms. She took out a dagger from the side, held it tightly, and squatted by the car door.

If anyone dared to come in, she would stab them with a knife.

It’s worth it to stab someone even if you die.

She was thinking of dying together with him, and she looked ready to die.

But not long after, the noise outside became much quieter, and he heard Qingxuan's cold shout.

"Behave yourself!"

Jiang Yueyao asked through the door: "Is it done?"

No one answered.

She asked again, but still no one answered.

She seemed to hear Qingshu's voice again. Now she was sure it was safe outside, so she hurriedly opened the car door and quietly stuck her head out.

In the wilderness, with the bright moonlight above our heads.

She saw Lu Sui at first sight.

The other person was wearing a bamboo green brocade robe and standing in the middle of a pool of corpses and blood. He was tall and straight, with a solemn and sharp aura.

Qingxuan stood in front of him, holding a black-clad killer in his hand.

The other person's lower jaw had been broken off and he was covered in blood, but he stared at Lu Sui with hatred in his eyes.

"You bastard, come and kill me if you want. If I don't kill you today, I don't plan to go back alive."

When Jiang Yueyao heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened up.

Hey----

It turned out that these people were not here to kill her.

But he immediately realized that what he did was not very decent, and immediately despised himself in his heart.

Lord Lu is such a good person, he loves the people like his own children and is always willing to help others. Although he holds a powerful position, he has a kind heart...

The thought has just come to mind and it’s not over yet.

Jiang Yueyao suddenly saw the 'kind-hearted' Lord Lu, and gently raised his hand and grabbed the man's neck, seemingly without using any strength. He squeezed lightly...

She only heard a "click" and watched the man's neck being broken.

The head drooped, looking just like the headless rubber doll she had seen before...

“…” Jiang Yueyao covered her eyes with her hands and crawled into the carriage.

Seeing her so panicked, Sulan hugged her.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Yueyao would never dare to tell anyone even if she was beaten to death.

She just kept shaking her head, her little face looking a little scary pale.

Cui Xiangxiang gently lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to see blood and corpses all over the floor.

She was also very frightened. She quickly lowered the curtain and whispered, "He must have been frightened by the dead man outside."

"If you are timid, don't watch..."

Jiang Yueyao said nothing, buried her face in Sulan's arms, and didn't recover for a long time.

Until Qingshu's voice came from outside.

"Boss Jiang, are you okay? There was a minor accident just now, but it's been dealt with now. The master has ordered us to continue our journey."

Jiang Yueyao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"I'm fine." She paused and added, "Is Lord Lu okay?"

"Master, everything is fine. In that case, let's set off."

"good."

The carriage was on the road again, as smooth and fast as before.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

In Jiang Yueyao's mind, the scene of Lu Sui strangling the black-clad killer's neck with one hand lingered for a long time.

The reason why she dared to act so unscrupulously in front of Lu Sui was that she thought he was a good person.

But now…

He is still a good man.

If he doesn't fight back when others are trying to kill him, it means he is weak and cannot be bullied.

Even if it was herself, if someone wanted to kill her, she would stab him hard with a dagger.

But even though I understand the truth, I am still afraid.

She was afraid that one day, if she accidentally offended him, his hand would fall on her neck...

They kept on traveling for the next few days, stopping occasionally to have a meal, and Jiang Yueyao no longer got close to Lu Sui.

Whenever she met the other person, she would be respectful and never dare to speak carelessly again.

Lu Sui quickly noticed this anomaly.

Early that morning, everyone arrived at Lin'an City.

Lin'an is only seventy or eighty kilometers away from the capital, and is the closest provincial capital to the capital.

If the carriage goes faster, we can get there in one day.

Lu Sui wanted to reach the capital before nightfall tonight.

So even though they had been traveling non-stop for a whole day and night, Lu Sui still gave the order.

"Rest here for half an hour, eat something, and then continue on our journey."

"yes."

Qingshu went to deliver the message.

When the news reached Jiang Yueyao, he added one more sentence.

"The master has instructed us to rest here for half an hour. If you are tired of sitting, you can get down and walk around."

Jiang Yueyao was indeed tired of sitting.

It took me more than half a month to get here from Suzhou.

She was excited at the beginning, but now she feels numb.

Even though the carriage was covered with thick cushions, her bones ached from sitting there. When she heard that she could rest for half an hour, she immediately jumped out of the carriage, holding up her skirt.

When I jumped off the carriage, my feet felt sore and numb.

She held the shaft of the cart, kicking her legs and looking around.

As I was looking, I met someone's gaze.

She subconsciously wanted to dodge, but felt that it was too obvious, so she gritted her teeth, raised her little hand, and waved at him.

"Good morning, Master Lu."

Lu Sui didn't say anything, but walked towards her.

Seeing him coming, Jiang Yueyao immediately stood up obediently, looking at him with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

Why is he coming here?

If you have something to say, just say it. She can hear it clearly from over there...

Lu Sui took a few steps and stopped in front of her.

There is a huge difference in height between the two.

Jiang Yueyao has a typical Jiangnan woman's figure, petite and only barely reaching Lu Sui's shoulders.

He stood before her, looking down upon her.

It was fine before, Jiang Yueyao was not afraid of him, so naturally she didn't feel any oppression.

But at this moment, cold sweat broke out on her palms.

She tilted her face up, her cheeks stiff from smiling.

"Is there anything wrong, sir?"

Lu Sui noticed every subtle reaction of hers.

I couldn't help but snort coldly.

"A few days ago, you swore to be completely devoted to me." He stared at her coldly, "Just a few days later, your heart has flown away?"

“…”

"I just killed someone casually, and you're so scared. If I asked you to kill someone for me, wouldn't you be scared to death?"

"Kill... who?" Jiang Yueyao's face turned pale. "Sir, don't joke with me. I won't kill anyone..."

"You can't do this or that. Are you following me just to eat for nothing?"

“…”

Seeing his sullen face, he got angry.

How could Jiang Yueyao care about being afraid?

He immediately softened his voice and began to beg for mercy.

"Sir, I was wrong. I didn't mean any harm. I was just too timid. It was the first time I saw you kill someone, and I was a little scared."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will kill you?"

"Oh, how could that be?" Jiang Yueyao hurried over, tilting her head and starting to flatter him, "You are the best tutor in our Daye Dynasty, and you only care about us innocent little people."

"You are broad-minded, wise, generous, loyal, gentle and kind. You are the god from the nine heavens, who has come down to earth to save us who are suffering..."

"Jiang Yueyao!"

"Ah?" She tilted her head slightly and looked at him eagerly.

Lu Sui smiled.

"You have good taste." He raised his hand, and gently tapped her fair eyebrows with his slender fingers. The corners of his lips curled up, and his voice was happy. "In the whole Daye, you are the first person who praised me for being gentle and kind."

"Such good taste, deserves a reward!"

“…”

Damn it, this flattery has been rejected again.
