Chapter 170 Lu Huai, the ruthless killer?
Lin Zhiqing pulled out the dagger from her waist. She had no fear in her heart. There was only one thought in her mind: save Lu Huai!
She didn't notice that a thin layer of cold sweat had appeared on her forehead.
Her hands and feet were cold, and the strange, uneasy feeling from her dream came back like a tide.
She felt as if she was immersed in the cold sea water and was about to drown.
But even so, she still held the dagger tightly and stood in front of Lu Huai.
Lu Huai noticed Lin Zhiqing's intention, grabbed him and dodged to the side.
The dagger quickly approached Lu Huai's face, leaving a bloody mark on his face.
Then, it hit the wall and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Lu Huai reacted quickly, otherwise, he would have been injured in more than just his face.
Lin Zhiqing held the dagger tightly in her hand. Seeing that Lu Huai was fine, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart.
no the same!
It’s completely different from the scene in the dream!
She placed one hand on her chest and felt her heartbeat, only then did she realize that she was truly standing under the sky of Dasheng.
"Ah Qing, are you okay?"
As Lu Huai's voice rang out, Lin Zhiqing felt a pair of big hands grabbing her tightly, pulling her out of the suffocating and uneasy feeling.
But, this name... Lin Zhiqing frowned, feeling a little strange.
At the same time, realizing that something was wrong, Lu Huai was also stunned.
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
Lin Zhiqing remembered it very clearly. At first, Lu Huai called her Lin Zhiqing, and then after they got to know each other better, he called her Zhiqing.
He never called himself Aqing!
Ah Qing...
Lin Zhiqing was not unfamiliar with this name.
In that strange dream, Lu Huai called her like this!
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing's heart was shocked, and he obviously realized something.
She looked at Lu Huai with an incredible look: "You had that dream too, didn't you?"
Lu Huai was still thinking about how to explain to Lin Zhiqing, and was shocked when he heard her words.
His eyelids and eyebrows lifted, his jaw dropped, but the expression was fleeting.
This means he was genuinely surprised.
Because a truly surprised micro-expression will not last more than three seconds on a person's face, just like what Lu Huai just showed.
Just by looking at this expression, Lin Zhiqing instantly understood that the dream that Lin Zhiqing and Lu Huai had when they visited the study in Liu's mansion last night was probably the same one!
"Yes." Facing Lin Zhiqing's inquiring gaze, Lu Huai nodded without much thought.
At the same time, the man in black who was ignored by the two men was a little annoyed when he saw that his attack missed.
He quickened his pace, clenched his fists, and rushed straight towards Lin Zhiqing and Lu Huai.
Lin Zhiqing was surprised that she and Lu Huai had the same dream. When she heard the footsteps of the man in black, she subconsciously raised her dagger.
But before she could make a move, Lu Huai casually pulled out the sword that Lin Shian had thrown to him for self-defense.
Just as the man in black approached, a muffled groan was heard.
The man in black looked at the sword stuck in his heart, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground weakly.
"Did you have that dream too?" Lu Huai looked at Lin Zhiqing seriously, wiped the bloody sword on his sleeve, and then put it back into the scabbard as if nothing had happened.
His series of actions were very casual, as if the man in black was interrupting his conversation with Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing blinked.
No, is that right?
She was not mistaken just now. Lu Huai's attack was swift, accurate and ruthless, and he killed the man in black with one sword.
"Are you good at martial arts?" Lin Zhiqing frowned and focused his attention on the sword.
"Yeah, I know a little bit." Lu Huai answered honestly, and added: "Brother Tongjiang can't compare with Brother Shi'an. They are just some boxing and kicking skills."
"Boxing skills?" Lin Zhiqing looked at the man in black again.
The black clothes on his chest had already been soaked with blood, and the specific situation could not be seen.
Seeing Lin Zhiqing's doubts, Lu Huai explained:
"I had a martial arts master when I was young, but my father was still an official in the imperial court at the time. Military officers were too dangerous, so the Lu family wanted to be safe and could only take the path of a civil servant. That's why they removed my martial arts master."
"But I have a good memory. I did write down the few moves I learned. I didn't expect to be able to use them today."
When Lin Zhiqing heard this, he first looked at Lu Huai's hands.
Lu Huai did not feel guilty and opened his arms generously.
His hands were very slender, and except for a few calluses on his fingers, the rest of his hands were very smooth.
People who practice martial arts for many years will most likely have calluses on the base of their palms and the base of their thumbs.
The calluses on Lu Huai's hands are all on his fingers, which is probably related to the fact that he often uses an abacus.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing finally believed what he said about never practicing martial arts.
"Your actions just now were so clean and neat. If someone didn't know you, they would think you were some kind of devil who kills people without blinking an eye." Lin Zhiqing curled his lips.
"Because..." Lu Huai paused: "I want to listen to your dream. It's really noisy."
For some reason, there was a hint of nervousness in his gentle voice.
Seeing that Lin Zhiqing didn't answer, Lu Huai thought she didn't believe him, so he quickly explained:
"The man in black must have known in advance that neither you nor I know martial arts, so he underestimated us."
"He concluded that we couldn't escape, so whether he was throwing his daggers or attacking us, he was very careless and didn't use his true strength."
"Plus, the powder I sprinkled on his eyes was poisonous, so he won't be able to tell the direction for a while."
"I was just trying my luck, but I didn't expect to actually succeed."
Lu Huai spoke sincerely.
Lin Zhiqing easily judged that he was not lying.
"Well, I believe you." Lin Zhiqing nodded. His first reaction was to walk to the man in black, squat down, and begin to feel around the man in black.
She wanted to look around to see if she could find anything that could reveal the identity of the man in black.
But there was nothing.
He wiped the slate cleanly, which was somewhat similar to Liu Mang's style.
"Let's get rid of this body quickly. It would be bad if someone found it." Lin Zhiqing didn't want to be charged with murder anymore.
"I'll send someone to clean it up later. Just pretend you didn't see it." Lu Huai wiped the bloody wound on his face.
This action successfully attracted Lin Zhiqing's attention: "Let's go to the nearby clinic. If he is disfigured, it will be troublesome."
Not only is it troublesome, it would be a shame to ruin such a handsome face.
Of course, Lin Zhiqing was embarrassed to say this out loud.
"It's just skin." Lu Huai smiled.
"Ah... Zhiqing." Realizing he had slipped up, Lu Huai quickly changed his address. "What I want to know more now is whether the dream you and I had that day in the Liu Mansion was the same one?"
He stared at Lin Zhiqing very seriously, trying to find an answer.
