The two of them chatted and forgot about time.
By the time he reacted, it was already drizzling.
Lu Hanxiao took off his clothes and put it on Si Ning's body.
Si Ning hurriedly refused, "No, I'm fine."
"If a girl's house is watered, the root of the disease will fall."
Si Ning nodded and did not refuse.
The two of them came on foot, and Lu Hanxiao didn't let the secret guards follow him. It was raining heavily at the moment, and he would be soaked even if he rushed back.
Lu Hanxiao was worried that Si Ning was sick, so he took her to a ruined temple.
Passers-by had already stopped here in the ruined temple. Seeing the two people running in, they all looked sideways.
Lu Hanxiao took off the cloak on Si Ning's behalf, raised his hand to wipe the rain from her forehead with his sleeve, and led her in.
The two walked to the side and sat down, and a big man said to them.
"Hey, you two, come here to warm up by the fire. It's extremely cold. Don't let your little lady get cold."
Si Ning was a little embarrassed to be told that, but Lu Hanxiao thanked him generously and pulled Si Ning towards the fire.
There were seven or eight people sitting next to the fire, and someone made room for the two of them.
Si Ning sat down next to Lu Hanxiao, with a woman next to him.
The woman kept her head lowered, and when she looked sideways, she seemed to have a long scar on her face.
Si Ning always felt that this man's profile was familiar, but someone spoke to her and attracted her attention, making her forget about it.
She listened to the big man opposite asking her if she was hungry, and Si Ning shook his head.
Lu Hanxiao took out a handkerchief from somewhere and handed it over.
Si Ning took it and wiped the rain off her face. Then she felt the person next to her leaning towards her. Before she could react, she saw Lu Hanxiao raising his sleeve and wiping her soaked hair. .
Si Ning was stunned and looked sideways.
Lu Hanxiao wiped it carefully and gently, for fear of hurting her.
Several big men around saw this scene and joked to Lu Hanxiao.
"Then, young man, you have to ask your wife to dry your clothes first. Your clothes are all wet. It's useless for you to wipe them."
Lu Hanxiao lowered his eyes and looked at his cuffs, then looked at Si Ning's soaked dress, and frowned.
There were people all around, so she couldn't let her change clothes here.
"I'm fine. I think the rain will stop." Si Ning said.
Lu Hanxiao nodded and wanted to continue wiping Si Ning's hair.
But looking at his soaked sleeves, he gave up the idea.
Worried about Si Ning's life after being caught in the rain, and thinking about when the secret guard would arrive, a handkerchief was handed over to him.
Si Ning raised the handkerchief in front of him and said, "Your face is covered with water. Wipe it off."
Lu Hanxiao saw that she didn't answer, but leaned forward.
Si Ning was stunned on the spot. Those big men were really bored and teased Si Ning again.
"Your husband asked you to wipe your face. He wiped your face very carefully just now. Don't be shy, little lady. Just pretend we're not here."
After saying this, several people laughed and looked away cooperatively.
Lu Hanxiao also smiled and leaned his face in front of Si Ning again.
"Come on, don't be shy."
Si Ning wanted to tear his face apart, why was he so shameless in front of outsiders.
When she raised her hand to poke the cheek he handed to her, she was suddenly hugged by Lu Hanxiao.
Before Si Ning could react, he felt a strong wind behind him.
Immediately afterwards, his head was held in Lu Hanxiao's arms and turned in circles following his movements.
It wasn't until Renhe and Lu Hanxiao switched places that she could clearly see her attacker behind her.
It turned out to be Li Xutang!
Surprise flashed in Si Ning's eyes. When he saw Li Xutang holding a dagger in his hand, he rushed toward Lu Hanxiao and stabbed him.
But before the knife could reach him, it was kicked away by Lu Hanxiao, and he was immediately kicked away.
Li Xutang fell to the ground and vomited out a mouthful of blood.
She raised her head and stared fiercely in the direction of Si Ning, tightening her fingers little by little.
Several people in the ruined temple did not expect such a situation. They stood up and stepped aside, staring at Lu Hanxiao and Li Xutang on the ground.
Seeing that Li Xutang was playing tricks, Lu Hanxiao hurriedly lowered his head to check on Si Ning's condition.
Si Ning shook his head and looked at the people on the ground.
"What should we do with her? Send her to the government?"
You can't kill someone in front of so many people, or you'll get into big trouble.
Lu Hanxiao didn't look at the people on the ground and answered Si Ning's question with an unhappy expression.
"Let Minghan handle it later."
He pulled Si Ning aside and put the recently dried cloak on her body.
"They should be arriving soon, let's go over there and wait."
He took Si Ning to the door, but Li Xutang behind him suddenly pointed at Lu Hanxiao and spoke.
"He is Lu Hanxiao, the person you are looking for!"
Si Ning frowned, and when he raised his eyes, those men pulled out their long knives from nowhere and slashed at Lu Hanxiao.
Lu Hanxiao hurriedly pushed Si Ning away and ducked back to avoid the knife.
Li Xutang's eyes were burning as he watched those people surrounding Lu Hanxiao, laughing crazily.
"Kill him. If he is dead, your mission will be completed. That woman is the concubine of the Zhenguo Palace, the first-class wife appointed by the emperor. Don't you want to have a taste of her?"
Li Xutang had a ferocious look on his face, and the scar on his face looked particularly horrifying.
She didn't even care that her mouth was still bleeding when she spoke. At this time, her eyes were bright and she stared excitedly at the crowd.
Lu Hanxiao was surrounded by several strong men. When he came out without weapons, he fought with several strong men with his bare hands.
He had been holding a few people back, wanting to wait until Ming Han and the others arrived.
Counting the time, they should have discovered something was wrong and would be able to find them soon.
What he had to do was to restrain these people before Ming Han and the others came, so that they would not attack Si Ning.
But those people were not fools, so they naturally saw his plan.
One of them stabbed Si Ning.
Lu Hanxiao ignored the people surrounding him, flew to Si Ning, raised his hand and caught the knife forcefully.
Si Ning was horrified and kicked the strong man on the opposite side.
The strong man was unprepared and fell directly to the ground.
When the other companions saw this, they became vigilant, and all slashed in the direction of Si Ning with the long knives in their hands.
Lu Hanxiao pulled the person behind him and fought against several people with one person.
Seeing that Si Ning was anxious, she picked up a wooden stick and threw it to him. At the same time, she also found a wooden stick in her hand.
The opponent's skills are quite good. Si Ning is actually very good in close combat, but with more than one, it is somewhat difficult.
These people had a great advantage in terms of their stature and the weapons in their hands. Even if Si Ning and Lu Hanxiao were martial arts masters, they would not be intact.
Si Ning was okay, Lu Hanxiao blocked almost all the attacks on her from the people on the opposite side.
Lu Hanxiao now had several stab wounds on his arm.
Out of sight, a figure holding a dagger was approaching him little by little...
