Lu Qingtang had just arrived in Nanzhou and hadn't even left the house. He hadn't offended anyone at all. Who wanted to kill her?
The opponent can shoot so many arrows at the same time, so there must be many people. Even if she has the ability to reach the sky, she will not be able to escape the pursuit of many people.
The sound of arrows became smaller and smaller, and Lu Qingtang knew that the other party had begun to stop shooting.
The sound of broken dead leaves could be heard in her ears. Lu Qingtang held her breath, and her hands were a little sticky. The sound of footsteps getting closer and closer made her feel uneasy.
There are no less than ten of these people, and all of them are masters. My own three-legged cat kung fu will lead to death.
What should I do? What should I do?
She looked in the direction where she had just come. Mo Zeshen was nearby, but how could she ask for help from him?
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it was no longer possible to rely on others to save her. She could only save herself.
At this time, two or three masked men came back to Lu Qingtang. They raised their knives at Lu Qingtang, and Lu Qingtang could only fight back with his bare hands.
The self-defense techniques she practiced could only protect herself. How could she withstand such a deadly attack? After a while, she was exhausted and fell to the ground.
She closed her eyes in despair as she watched the masked man's saber strike towards her.
The faces of the three babies appeared in front of them. Without their mother, what should the three of them do?
Will he be bullied, will he be called a motherless child, will he wake up in the middle of the night and cry secretly under the quilt...
"stop!"
Mo Zeshen's shouting sound echoed in his ears.
Lu Qingtang immediately opened his eyes. The masked man holding the knife was hit on the shoulder by his saber. Blood spattered on her face, and the masked man's knife also fell to the ground.
Without thinking, she immediately picked up the knife on the ground and fought side by side with Mo Zeshen.
At this time, other masked men saw this and rushed out.
They did not resort to deadly attacks this time. They mainly focused on defense, which was completely different from the previous state.
But they were also difficult to deal with. After fighting for a long time, no one was injured, but they didn't take advantage either.
Lu Qingtang whispered to Mo Zeshen, "Where's Yuanlang? Why don't they come to support?"
Mo Ze lowered his voice deeply, "When I chased you just now, I asked Yuan Lang to wait where he was. It depends on whether he has me as the prince in his heart."
Lu Qingtang: "..."
Shouldn't you explain it here?
The two sides were in a stalemate and the fight was fierce. Suddenly, someone fired an arrow again in the jungle.
Lu Qingtang couldn't dodge, and the arrow penetrated her bun, causing her black hair to spread out. The arrow penetrated diagonally into the tree trunk nearby and tore off a few of her hair.
Mo Zeshen's face turned pale and he immediately pulled him behind him to block him.
He whispered to Lu Qingtang: "I see, these people are coming for you. You hide behind me, they don't dare to hurt me."
Lu Qingtang had realized it a long time ago, and reminded him at the same time, "In this case, they know you, maybe you are from the imperial court."
Mo Zeshen looked back at her, and he agreed with this point of view.
But why did the people in the imperial court attack Lu Qingtang? Could it be...
He immediately thought of Emperor Kang Yuan.
Could it be that his father sent people to hunt down Lu Qingtang?
Mo Zeshen didn't dare to think further, he only felt a chill running down his spine.
He has divorced her, but his father still won't let her go. What on earth is going to happen!
While he was thinking about the reality, a faint sound of arrows came from behind, and Mo Zeshen immediately turned around and hugged Lu Qingtang.
Lu Qingtang felt a stinging pain on his shoulder. He raised his head and looked at Mo Zeshen. His face suddenly turned pale and his eyes lost their sparkle.
She yelled that it was bad, immediately dropped the knife in her hand and hugged Mo Zeshen, but it was too late, he pressed towards her forcefully.
With a "bang", Lu Qingtang was deeply pressed under Mo Ze and couldn't breathe.
He breathed heavily in her ear, his hot breath hitting her ears and neck, "I... I can also... I can block arrows for you..."
After saying that, his head rested softly on her shoulder. He was still breathing heavily, and he was not dead yet.
Lu Qingtang was stunned. She didn't expect it to be like this.
She had always thought that Mo Zeshen no longer had any affection for her, but in this case, why was he still pestering her? Was it just to tease her?
But if it was a tease, why would he risk his life for it?
She was confused and couldn't guess what he was thinking.
His mind went blank, as if he had forgotten that he was still in danger.
However, these masked men stood motionless, their eyes full of panic.
"What should I do? I actually hurt King Chen. What should I do?"
"The people above only asked us to kill this woman to scare King Chen, but did not let us do anything to King Chen."
"This arrow went straight through the back of the chest. I'm afraid we're dead. How will we deal with it when we go back? We may not be able to save our heads."
…
Hearing the whispers of the masked man in his ears, feeling the moist heat in his chest, and Mo Zeshen's gradually weakening heartbeat, Lu Qingtang was in a state of confusion.
This group of people really came for me. They couldn't be sure they were really people from the palace.
But that wasn't the most important thing. What was important was to save Mo Zeshen. She couldn't let him die.
She wanted to ask him clearly what he meant by doing this.
At this time, the masked men began to whisper again.
"Anyway, we will die if we go back, why not just let King Chen close his eyes forever."
"Yes, and this woman!"
"That's right, I'm already half-dead anyway, so I might as well just keep doing nothing..."
As they spoke, they raised the knives in their hands and stepped forward to drag Mo Zeshen over for a finishing blow.
Lu Qingtang hugged him tightly and said to the masked man: "Since you know his identity, you are not ordinary people. Accidental injury and intentional homicide are two different things!"
One of the masked men stepped forward and said coldly: "What's the difference? If you hurt your majesty's favorite King Chen, that is also a death penalty."
Lu Qingtang gritted his teeth, "Is the difference between the death of one person and the death of the whole family the same? Also, I can also testify that you killed him accidentally. I am just a civilian, and you are not guilty of killing me when you are ordered to kill him. But if you kill the prince, the whole family will be killed. More importantly, it will affect the nine tribes, so you have to think clearly."
She spoke word by word to the people in black.
The man in black seemed to have listened. They were whispering to each other, wondering what they were discussing.
Lu Qingtang looked at them expectantly, hoping that they would let her go, and she had to let her go quickly, otherwise she would only be holding a dead body in her arms.
However, their hopes were somewhat disappointed. After they finished their discussion, they said to her: "We have disappointed my wife, so we feel more at ease if we keep silent. We are all dead soldiers and we are not burdened by our families."
As they spoke, they raised their knives and slashed at Lu Qingtang...
