Chapter 404 Ah Qing, You Take Advantage of Me
Now that Lu Huai is fine, her long-tensed nerves gradually relax.
So she leaned gently against Lu Huai and slowly closed her eyes.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Lin Zhiqing opened his eyes again, it was already dark.
The inside of the cave was also pitch black.
Only the fire lit during the day still had a few scattered sparks, emitting a faint light.
She subconsciously reached towards her side, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she touched Lu Huai's arm and felt a hint of warmth.
After confirming that Lu Huai's fever had subsided, she stood up and tried to find some more charcoal at the edge of the cave.
But as soon as he took a step, a slight friction sound was heard.
Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly, did not move for the time being, and listened carefully.
“Swish~Swish!”
This time, the sound of slowly descending along the walls and vines was more obvious!
Lin Zhiqing's heart was filled with alarm. Someone is coming!
She was very sure that they were not members of the Lin family.
Because when she was exploring the way before, she was quite familiar with the Lin family and the people she had selected from Jianxin Hall.
Their movements would not be so small and so neat.
It is very likely that he is from the Jiang family!
Almost instantly, Lin Zhiqing thought of the Jiang family.
The guards of the Jiang family were all brought down from the battlefield by Jiang Yunhe. They have strong psychological qualities, can adapt to any environment, and are also very skilled.
If she were found by the Jiang family, her plan would collapse!
Judging from the sounds, it should take those people less than half an incense stick of time to get down to the cave where she is.
Lin Zhiqing reacted quickly.
She scooped up some water and put out the sparks.
Then, she took great effort to move Lu Huai behind the big rock inside the cave.
Fortunately, their previous location was quite deep. After Lin Zhiqing moved Lu Huai, he didn't have time to rest and took a few breaths.
Lu Huai looks thin, but he is still quite heavy.
She only rested for a short while, then returned to her previous position, took away the medicine she had taken out earlier, and erased the traces they had left.
After doing all this, she returned to the stone and squeezed all the remaining powder in her hand.
At the same time, she took out the tightly wrapped jade flute and listened vigilantly to the movements outside.
Soon, someone fell down!
Then, there were several more footsteps.
After listening, I found that about five or six people came down.
Lin Zhiqing's heart sank.
Dealing with five or six soldiers who have been on the battlefield is not an easy task.
Find a way, she must find a way!
She wants to live, and Lu Huai wants to live too.
Thinking of Lu Huai, she felt more confident.
Now Lu Huai and the Ministry of Revenue are pointing their spearheads directly at the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and have become a thorn in Jiang Yunhe's side.
If the Jiang family found Lu Huai, they would definitely kill him.
Lin Zhiqing would never allow this to happen.
As those people moved inside, someone soon noticed something was wrong.
"It smells like something burning, and it's very strong!"
"The traces on the ground have been deliberately erased, so the person probably didn't go very far."
"No, they're still in the cave!"
As soon as these words were spoken, those people all kept silent tacitly.
They kept their footsteps very quiet.
Lin Zhiqing couldn't hear the footsteps of those people and became more and more nervous.
She clenched the powder in her hand and waited for someone to approach before throwing it away.
In the darkness, Lin Zhiqing tried her best to keep calm and composed herself.
She mentally calculated the routes those people might take to approach her, and then held her breath.
Getting closer!
Her breathing hitched and her hands trembled slightly.
Because she heard some slight noise coming from the left.
Lin Zhiqing calculated the time in his mind.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
Right now, she threw the powder in her hand to the left.
Soon, a surprised voice sounded:
"What, what is that? Someone, she's here!"
Then, several footsteps sounded quickly.
Lin Zhiqing's mind was working at high speed. She was too close to Lu Huai now. If she was found, she would be killed.
No, she must keep Lu Huai alive.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, moved outside, and played the flute.
She wants to lead everyone away!
The sudden sound of the flute suddenly rang out, startling the people outside.
"Cover your ears. Lin Zhiqing can use the flute to control others. Don't listen!" A loud voice sounded, reminding others.
Lin Zhiqing made up his mind and played the flute with much greater strength.
The sound of the flute suddenly grew louder, and those people all stopped in their tracks.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Zhiqing's forehead.
By stopping those people through the flute player, it is actually a form of hypnosis.
But without any preparation, it is almost impossible to successfully hypnotize a conscious person.
What's more, there are more than just one or two people here.
But five or six in total!
Lin Zhiqing felt that he could no longer hold on and wanted to move outside immediately.
She wanted to try and see if she could control those people to jump off the cliff themselves.
But just as she took a step outside, she was picked up by the waist and pulled back.
Lin Zhiqing was startled, and the sound of the flute froze for a moment.
“Bang! Bang!”
It’s Lu Huai!
Lu Huai woke up!
After confirming that the person behind him was the familiar Lu Huai, Lin Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, Lu Huai's voice rang in her ears:
"Aqing, stay here and close your eyes."
Then, without waiting for Lin Zhiqing to answer, Lu Huai moved.
In the darkness, Lin Zhiqing couldn't see anything, but he heard bursts of fighting sounds.
She couldn't help but feel worried, but she didn't dare to stop playing the jade flute.
After an incense stick of time, the fighting gradually stopped.
Lin Zhiqing's flute music gradually became calmer.
"You, do you know who we belong to...ah, ah!"
An unfamiliar voice rang out, but the cry that followed had already sentenced him to death.
Lu Huai, did Lu Huai win?
Lin Zhiqing was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to speak out.
"Come out." Lu Huai's weak voice sounded.
Lin Zhiqing didn't care too much and walked in the direction of the voice:
"Lu Huai, are you okay?"
"Are you hurt?"
"No." Lu Huai shook his head and grabbed Lin Zhiqing who was stumbling over.
Lin Zhiqing held his arm and then began to grope upwards.
Ears, mouth, nose...
Lin Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Lu Huai was fine.
Lu Huai grabbed Lin Zhiqing's wrist and said, "Aqing, you're taking advantage of me."
Lin Zhiqing: ...
She pinched Lu Huai's shoulder: "How dare you say that?"
"Hiss~" Lu Huai took a breath of cold air.
Lin Zhiqing instantly let go of his hand, very nervous: "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"I forgot you were still a patient. Sorry."
Lin Zhiqing's tone was a little anxious.
"I'm fine." Lu Huai sighed softly.
"Aqing, this is not the thing you should apologize to me for."
