Yan Xiaoxiao originally thought that Lin Ping'an would say something tender and sweet at this juncture, something that would touch her and make her feel uncomfortable, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
She thought she heard it wrong, but looking at Lin Pingan's serious eyes, she immediately understood that this was what Lin Pingan said.
"But why would he let himself kill an insignificant little postman whom he just met at such a juncture?"
Yan Xiaoxiao said she didn't understand, but she didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so she could only nod subconsciously.
At this moment, Lin Ping'an had his back to Li Zicheng. Naturally, he didn't know that this guy had ducked into the bushes, but even if he knew, he would think it was normal.
Because what Li Zicheng was best at in history was escaping. He was killed countless times by the Ming army and was defeated. Even if the entire army was annihilated, he could always escape unscathed. It can be said that his escape skills are top-notch in the world.
As for why Yan Xiaoxiao killed Li Zicheng, it was entirely out of anger towards Huang Taiji.
Logically speaking, if he died today, his time travel would be over, and there would be no need to think about Daming anymore.
But he couldn't be more angry. Huang Taiji killed Wan'er in Shengjing, and now he sent people to kill him in Beijing. Even if he died, he couldn't let Huang Taiji live.
If there was no character like Li Zicheng in the history of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps Emperor Chongzhen could save a lot of energy to concentrate on dealing with Huang Taiji. Whether the Qing Empire could be successfully established is still a question.
In this case, Lin Ping'an would kill Li Zicheng on behalf of Emperor Chongzhen first. If this tragic emperor could not be hanged on the coal mountain in the end, Lin Ping'an would have come to this era in vain.
The stick stick men no longer hesitated, their bodies turned into several afterimages, and shot towards the two people in front of them.
There was a sinister smile on the face of the well-dressed man, and he seemed to be very sure of his attack. It was no wonder that the people behind him were all the top masters hidden in the Ming Dynasty. With the combined efforts to kill, I believe no one could Escape from death.
Yan Xiaoxiao felt the compelling sword energy. At this moment, she had no sword in her hand, so she could only grab Lin Pingan and rush back.
But this method cannot be sustained after all. Although Suzaku's Qinggong is unparalleled in the world, if he holds an adult in his hand, it will be greatly reduced. What's more, the stick-stick people chasing behind him are also quick in movement, so Qinggong will naturally not be able to use it. How weak would it be.
As if it was just two or three ups and downs, Yan Xiaoxiao could already feel the fierce sword energy intruding into her back. Maybe if she moved forward even half a minute, her back would be pierced.
She let out a scream and was about to throw Lin Ping'an out with all her strength, but there was a swishing sound of arrows in her ears, mixed with the sound of banging firecrackers.
Immediately afterwards, several screams came from behind her, and the terrifying sword energy on her back suddenly disappeared.
Yan Xiaoxiao landed on the ground, but she saw Li Zicheng, who had plunged into the woods before, retreating step by step, his face full of horror, as if he had seen something terrible.
A tall and burly man slowly walked out of the woods and stood in front of Yan Xiaoxiao. Behind him were twenty soldiers wearing white helmets and white armor. Some of these soldiers held hard crossbows, and some held crossbows in their hands. But he was holding a firecracker that was emitting white smoke, and followed the man out silently.
"Brother!"
A hint of uncontrollable surprise appeared on Yan Xiaoxiao's face, and while shouting loudly, she rushed towards the tall and burly man like a swallow in the forest.
The man held Yan Xiaoxiao in his arms, looked up and down carefully, stretched out his big hand, stroked Yan Xiaoxiao's hair lovingly, and then said with a smile:
"I heard that you were getting married, so I came back specifically to see that boy."
After saying this, he pointed at Lin Pingan and asked, "Is that him?"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Lin Ping'an immediately recalled in his mind that when he escaped from Shengjing City back to the Ming Dynasty, he annihilated the Hou Jin pursuers under the mountain ridge in one fell swoop. The man in front of him must be the Tiger Cavalry. The leader of the group is Murong Lie, the leader of the Great White Tiger Hall.
Seeing Murong Lie pointing his finger at him, he hurriedly saluted him and said:
"Lin Pingan has met Brother Murong!"
This kid's mouth is quite sweet... Murong Lie laughed, looked at Lin Pingan, and suddenly slapped Lin Pingan on the shoulder.
Good guy, the force of this slap was so strong that Lin Pingan felt like a hill was pressing down on his shoulders. He staggered and sat on the ground.
Murong Lie frowned, shook his head and said:
"He looks pretty good, but his body is a bit weak."
After saying this, he turned to look at Yan Xiaoxiao and asked:
"Xiaoxiao, are you sure you want to marry this guy?"
Yan Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her face flushed, and she was silent for a long time before she said very coquettishly:
"Your Majesty has granted you a marriage, so naturally Xiaoxiao dare not disobey."
Hearing these words, Murong Lie's brows knitted together immediately, and he shouted angrily:
"Even if it is His Majesty's idea, if you don't want to, I will go to His Majesty to argue with you. I will definitely not let you be wronged!"
Yan Xiaoxiao glanced at the angry Murong Lie, and had no choice but to speak again:
"Actually, this is also what the adoptive father means."
Murong Lie waved his hand and said with some dissatisfaction:
"His old man just wants to have a grandson. He doesn't care whether you do it voluntarily or not. When I come back this time, I will have a good talk with him about this matter."
Yan Xiaoxiao was stunned, and suddenly she didn't know how to express herself. She was a girl. She couldn't say in front of so many people that she liked Lin Pingan and was willing to marry him, right?
Lin Ping'an sighed inwardly, feeling that the two siblings were very interesting. One had a simple brain and did not understand the thoughts of his daughter's family, and the other was too shy to admit that he liked him in front of so many people.
He got up from the ground, looked at Murong Lie, and said very seriously:
"Brother Murong, whether Xiaoxiao is willing to marry me or not, I will marry her. No one can change this matter."
"Good boy, are you challenging me?"
"Believe it or not, I will slap you to death?"
Murong Lie raised his palm again and shouted at Lin Pingan:
"Even if you beat me to death, I will marry her!"
Lin Pingan was unmoved and shouted while holding his neck.
Murong Lie seemed to be really angry now. With a sound of wind in his palm, he slapped Lin Ping'an on the forehead.
Yan Xiaoxiao was shocked and rushed over without even thinking.
She hugged Lin Ping'an and swept aside. Looking back, she realized that Murong Lie was looking at her with a smile.
"Brother, you are teasing me again!"
Yan smiled, stamped her feet, pouted and shouted.
Murong Lie laughed. At this time, how could he still not see Yan Xiaoxiao's thoughts.
"But this kid is not bad. He is not afraid of death just for the sake of a smile."
Murong Lie thought in his heart, feeling a good impression of Lin Pingan in his heart.
At this moment, a weak voice sounded in everyone's ears:
"Is this our Ming Dynasty's Tiger Cavalry?"
Under the tree, Li Zicheng stared, looking at the arrows stuck in the bodies of the previous people and the countless blood holes blasted by the firecrackers, and murmured in his mouth.
It was only then that everyone turned their attention to him.
Yan Xiaoxiao remembered Lin Ping'an's words, rolled up her long sleeves, rolled up a long sword on the ground, held it in her hand, and walked straight towards Li Zicheng.
