Chapter 191 The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (20)
Lin Jinse is a woman who values reserve. She cannot express her love as frankly as Cui Ling does, but even a clay figure has a temper.
She was speechless for a long time, then closed her eyes and said, "I like it, but if you don't like it after thinking it through, can you still say I like it?"
Even though she liked that face, Lin Jinse accepted it.
We don’t know how long it will take to reach the next hundred years, so why not focus on the present instead of thinking about the vague future?
Lin Jinse convinced herself in this way and felt more confident.
She raised her eyes and stared at Cui Ling: "I understand what Brother Hanzhang said, but the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words have always been like this since ancient times. Brother Hanzhang, do you want to disobey the ancestral teachings?"
Lin Jinse had no choice but to move out the eldest lady, hoping that Cui Ling would give in.
Even if he doesn't like her now, as time goes by, they will grow in love and they may be able to open up to each other in the future.
She stared at Cui Ling's expression, trying to see any sign of hesitation.
Unfortunately, this trick doesn't seem to work on him.
Cui Ling said calmly: "Don't worry about that, Miss Lin. I will take care of it."
Lin Jinse felt frustrated. How could she make Cui Ling willing to marry her?
Lin Jinse unconsciously thought of Su Yu and looked a little dazed. Could it be that he likes that kind of weak and pitiful woman?
Lin Jinse was immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice that Cui Ling's expression suddenly changed.
For some reason, it was eerily quiet all around.
The wind stopped, the clouds stopped, but the leaves of the trees rustled slightly without any wind.
A sharp whistle pierced the sky.
Entrance to Taolin.
"Whistle? Sir..."
“Oh no!”
Bai Shan's face changed drastically, and he ran in without thinking. His body was extremely fast, and he flew far away in an instant as soon as his toes touched the ground.
Su Yu, who was left behind, looked confused and subconsciously chased after him.
After chasing for two steps, he suddenly stopped.
Something must have happened to the male protagonist to make Baishan so anxious.
Maybe it was the assassination in the original plot that injured the male protagonist.
Thinking of this, Su Yu felt that she shouldn't have gone there.
Wait, in the original plot, was the hero assassinated in the peach forest?
At the moment the whistle sounded, many assassins in black suddenly appeared in the deserted peach forest, holding swords and knives, covered in blood and murderous aura. They were undoubtedly assassins.
Lin Jinse was so frightened that she just stood there.
It was not until Cui Ling pulled her back that she came to her senses. Her legs and feet were weak, and she barely stood up by grabbing Cui Ling's clothes. She was so panicked that her voice trembled: "Brother Hanzhang, what's going on?"
Cui Ling was still calm, but his brows were tightly furrowed.
According to the information we received, it shouldn't be at this time.
Plans cannot keep up with changes. Fortunately, he just blew the whistle in time. I hope Baishan can move faster.
"Follow me closely."
Cui Ling had a hard time hiding as he was carrying a burden.
Just in case, he had a sword on his waist, but after all, he was no match for the death warriors who had been trained since childhood, and could only barely block one or two moves.
Not to mention Lin Jinse, who can't do anything and can only hold people back by screaming in fear.
A silver sword light pierced through the air, and Cui Ling narrowly avoided it.
Clang——
Cui Ling's knuckles were numb from the shock, but his expression remained normal. However, he was a little slow in raising his sword.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he dodged to the side. There was a clanging sound beside his ear as the sharp sword pierced into the tree trunk, but did not go in half an inch. It can be imagined that if he had not dodged just now, this sword would have pierced his heart.
Lin Jinse was completely frightened and was forced to hide here and there by Cui Ling's arm.
"Brother Hanzhang, are we going to die here?" Her voice trembled like a sieve.
He dodged another sword, and with a swish sound, a corner of Cui Ling's sleeve was cut off.
Only ten breaths had passed since the man in black appeared.
This can't go on.
Cui Ling's voice was urgent but steady: "Miss Lin, listen, their target is me. I will lead them away and try to hold them back. You seize the opportunity to run out and don't look back. Do you hear me?"
Lin Jinse looked panicked: "Am I alone?"
Cui Ling's voice became more serious: "I just asked if you heard it!"
Lin Jinse was so frightened that she nodded repeatedly: "I heard it..."
Cui Ling pulled her while blocking the sword light coming at him. He saw the right moment and pushed Lin Jinse: "Now, run!"
Then, he raised his sword to block a man in black who was about to chase her. Another attack came from the side. Cui Ling had no way of avoiding it and could only try his best to dodge it. However, a cut was still made on his waist and the blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
Fortunately, these people's target was indeed him, and they did not spare the energy to deal with Lin Jinse.
Ten breaths, fifteen breaths, twenty breaths...
Bai Shan finally arrived. Seeing this, his eyes narrowed and he immediately raised his sword and went over: "Young Master!"
Clang——
He swung his sword to fend off a man in black who almost stabbed Cui Ling.
After Bai Shan joined the battle, Cui Ling felt a lot less pressure, even though he had several wounds on his body.
The smell of blood in the air gradually became stronger.
Su Yu felt a little uneasy because she suddenly remembered that in the original plot, the hero was injured not in the peach forest, but in the waterfall on the back mountain of the Zen temple.
There was no assassination in the peach forest in the original plot.
Will there really be no problems if the plot suddenly changes?
After thinking about it, Su Yu chased after him again, just to take a look from a distance.
She met the heroine halfway.
Lin Jinse's clothes were messy and her hair was a little messy. When she saw her, she hurriedly stopped her: "Don't go over there, it's very dangerous over there."
"what happened?"
Lin Jinse was panting and speaking incoherently, "I don't know either. Brother Hanzhang and I were talking when suddenly a lot of assassins in black jumped out and slashed at us with swords. In order to protect me, Brother Hanzhang stayed behind to deal with those people."
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this: "He's alone?"
Lin Jinse leaned against the tree trunk to catch her breath, and nodded after hearing her question.
"Is he hurt?"
Lin Jinse was too scared to remember at all: "I don't know..."
Su Yu gritted her teeth and quickened her pace to run in that direction.
The male protagonist must not have any accidents.
What Su Yu was afraid of was whether the plot change this time was due to her butterfly effect. What if the male protagonist died in this assassination?
Lin Jinse wanted to stop her, but Su Yu ran too fast.
Looking at her back, Lin Jinse stood there for a long time. Finally, she closed her eyes, wiped away her tears, and ran out faster.
She couldn't help if she went back, so she might as well go outside and call for help.
Lin Jinse felt that she was doing the right thing, but she couldn't help but think about Su Yu's resolute back. How could such a weak woman not be afraid of assassins? Why did she run over to die?
Or does she like Brother Hanzhang so much that he is more important to her than her life?
Is this why Brother Hanzhang likes her?
Lin Jinse couldn't figure it out, but more and more tears appeared on her face.
Compared with Su Yu, she was like a coward who was afraid of death, but she was really scared and did not dare to go back.
The assassins seemed to be endless, and no matter how powerful Baishan's martial arts were, he could not withstand such consumption.
The sword in Cui Ling's hand was almost knocked away.
Their people were stationed over there at the waterfall, so even if they heard the whistle, it would take a while for them to rush over.
Bai Shan felt that this couldn't go on: "Sir, I'll stop these people for you, you find a chance to leave..."
"Shut up." Cui Ling interrupted coldly.
He has never been the kind of person who would let his subordinates die for him.
Bai Shan's eyes turned red: "Young Master..."
Suddenly, the assassin's movements became more fierce, and both of them heard the noise outside.
Their people arrived.
In another direction, Su Yu also heard the clanging sound of swords clashing.
"cousin!"
When Cui Ling suddenly heard Su Yu's voice, she paused for a moment, and then her face changed. Who asked her to come here?
"Be careful, cousin!"
Su Yu rushed over quickly, the sound of clothes being torn was accompanied by the woman's cry of pain. Su Yu used her arm to help Cui Ling block the sword light that was about to pierce his back.
The moment her arm was cut, Su Yu's expression twisted.
Damn, that hurts.
The system quickly spent points to buy a pain shield for Su Yu.
