Chapter 431 Ambush
The woman holding the umbrella smiled contemptuously, it was just a pointless struggle.
She stopped talking, narrowed her eyes, and picked up the jade flute on the ground again.
Lin Zhiqing missed the target again and turned around subconsciously.
Lu Huai's figure approached rapidly, but it was too late!
The woman holding the umbrella raised the corner of her lips, pointed the umbrella at Lin Zhiqing's chest, and gently pushed the tip of the umbrella forward.
"puff!"
The sound of a sharp weapon entering the body was heard, and Lin Zhiqing's pupils shrank, his eyes full of disbelief.
"How, how is this possible?" The woman holding the umbrella looked at the sword that had pierced her heart, her face filled with astonishment.
Then, the sword was pulled out mercilessly.
"Bang!"
The woman holding the umbrella suddenly fell to the ground.
Lin Zhiqing looked at the man holding a long sword and with some bloodstains on his body, and opened his mouth slightly:
"Cousin."
"Zhiqing, it's okay, don't be afraid." Lin Shian kicked the woman on the ground, frowning:
"It's indecent."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Huai also arrived beside Lin Zhiqing.
"It's good that nothing happened, it's good that nothing happened." Rather than comforting Lin Zhiqing, these words were more like comforting himself.
"Brother Lu, you're injured." Lin Shi'an looked at the bloody hole on Lu Huai's shoulder with a nervous expression:
"It has barbs!"
"I'm fine." Lu Huai's face was a little pale.
Lin Zhiqing supported him and was about to speak when he saw the bearded man throwing the meteor hammer again.
This time, the bearded man's tone was still arrogant. He looked at the corpse of the woman holding the umbrella and sneered:
"Women are women, and the waste still depends on me."
Lin Shi'an had just saved Lin Zhiqing, and with Lu Huai's injury, he was furious. He picked up his sword and rushed forward.
Taking advantage of their fight, Lin Zhiqing helped Lu Huai aside and applied some medicine to him:
"Lu Huai, are you okay? Can you move?"
Lu Huai shook his head: "It's just a minor injury, I can still bear it."
"Their target is clearly me. One person isn't enough, so they actually sent two people over." Lin Zhiqing pursed her lips.
"They are all masters, you really can't handle them all."
"Yes, he probably wants to stop you. That's why we have to keep moving forward." Lu Huai agreed with Lin Zhiqing.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shian distanced himself from the bearded man.
He shouted at Lin Zhiqing:
"Zhiqing, take Lu Huai away. He's a very difficult man. I'll hold him back!"
"Cousin, can you handle it alone?" Lin Zhiqing was very worried.
Lin Shian raised a sword in his hand and drew another sword from his back, then took up his stance:
"Of course, I can even hold my own against my elder sister, let alone these people."
After saying that, he flew forward, and the two figures entangled together again.
Now is not the time to be hesitant. Lin Zhiqing ran to where he had just stood and picked up the jade flute.
After thinking about it, she picked up the unremarkable umbrella when she passed by the body of the woman holding the umbrella.
If nothing else, the umbrella looks like a good weapon.
After taking her things, she helped Lu Huai up.
Lu Huai put his hand to his mouth and whistled.
Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard.
The horse, which had just run away and no one knew where it was, stopped in front of the two of them again.
Lu Huai carried Lin Zhiqing up and then climbed onto the horse.
The bearded man saw this and waved away Lin Shian's two swords:
"You want to leave? No way!"
As he said this, he ran forward.
"Want to chase them? Have you asked me?" Lin Shi'an held a sword in each hand, wrapped around the meteor hammer, and flew forward.
The bearded man was not as agile as Lin Shian, and his way was quickly blocked.
Seeing Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing running further and further away, he gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Shian with an extremely dangerous look:
"If you dare to ruin my good deeds, I will kill you!"
Lin Shian snorted coldly and took the lead in attacking:
"I'll stick with you till the end!"
…
"Lu Huai, are you okay?" Lin Zhiqing was very worried about Lu Huai.
Lu Huai pulled the reins, endured the pain in his shoulders, and shook his head:
"It's just a little painful. I'll ask my sister to bandage it after we finish today."
"What about you? Were you hurt just now?"
Lin Zhiqing shook his head: "I'm fine."
"My cousin just had a cut on his arm. I hope he's okay."
"Our people should be here soon. The most urgent thing is Jiang Liuyun." Lu Huai's voice was a little heavy.
"Everything about this incident is strange. If, as we suspected, the Zhenyuan Marquisate is colluding with Daliang, then we're in big trouble."
"I don't know if the manpower I arranged previously is enough."
Due to the special circumstances, Lin Zhiqing and Lu Huai concentrated their manpower at the execution ground.
Lin Zhiqing thought for a moment:
"It seems they are really desperate, otherwise they wouldn't expose the people from Daliang in public."
"Or rather, Jiang Liuyun regards today as his last chance."
"In this case, we must stop him."
If he really succeeds, Jiang Yunhe will be involved with Daliang, which will be disadvantageous to Dasheng.
If the Great Sheng is in turmoil, the noble families below will also be in turmoil, and the people will suffer.
Thinking of this, Lu Huai waved the reins and increased his speed.
The two of them quickly ran out of the residential area and arrived not far from Xuanwu Gate.
The morning light broke and the sun rose obliquely.
Lin Zhiqing looked at the misty city wall from afar, feeling a little uneasy.
Lu Huai noticed this and slowed down.
They were still some distance away from Xuanwu Gate, and there was a fork in the road ahead.
Going up is the deep mountains and old forests, and going down is Xuanwu Gate.
The horse ran down under Lu Huai's control.
Lin Zhiqing's gaze rested on the road below.
It was all covered in mud and looked a bit messy.
For some reason, Lin Zhiqing just felt something was wrong.
She frowned slightly and grabbed Lu Huai's wrist.
Lu Huai understood and pulled the reins:
"Whoa!"
As he moved, the horse's hooves were raised high and stopped.
Lu Huai looked at the mud in front of him, frowning slightly. He dismounted and poked the mud with his sword.
Soon, a hemp rope appeared inside?
Lu Huai frowned, quickly turned back, and was about to leave.
Having ridden horses for many years, he naturally knew that the hemp rope was a tool used to trip the horse.
If they had not slowed down and rushed forward, they would probably have been trampled to death by the horses or captured alive.
Just as these thoughts flashed through my mind, a strange voice rang out:
"If we leave now, is it too late?"
Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing looked at each other. They knew they were ambushed and didn't say anything. They just wanted to get around as quickly as possible.
After all, Lu Huai was injured, and if he encountered an ambush again, he might not be able to cope with it.
"Don't waste your energy. Where can you escape to?" As the voice sounded again, a slightly old man appeared on the side of the road.
He waved behind him expressionlessly.
Another group of men in black!
Lu Huai saw that the old man was unfathomable and spoke in a low voice:
"Aqing, hold the reins tightly and go back."
"Go find Lin Shian, or hide and don't come out again."
"Today is more troublesome than we imagined."
