Chapter 269: Xiao Zhen

He resisted the name at first.

Although it's just a compound of his last name, it always sounds like some kind of delicate bug. He didn't like it, and he always felt like he was very weak.

But Jane likes it.

He gladly accepted.

Gradually, every time he heard her call himself like this, he would unconsciously hook the corners of his mouth, feeling that this was the embodiment of his unique position in her heart, and it was a secret belonging to the bottom of their two young hearts.

Later, he followed Xiao Zhen all the time, and even successfully occupied the seats of all the personal maids around her.

His thoughts were so clear that even Xiaozhen's father and mother were aware of it, but the two of them remained silent about it tacitly.

His companions were not as understanding as Jane's parents, and they always whispered in his ears that he was a toad and wanted to eat swan meat.

But he felt that a toad that didn't want to eat swan meat was not a good toad, and even if he was a toad, he had to be an ideal toad. He didn't care about the ridicule and sarcasm of his companions, he believed that one day he would get what he wanted, and then the frogs at the bottom of the well would know that they were wrong.

Li Yuan stood on top of the red leaves all over the ground, looking at the immature face in front of him and smiling at him.

He took a small step forward, and his feet made a rustling sound on the fallen leaves, he was startled by the sound, and was slightly stunned, looking down at the fragments of the leaves under his feet, and always felt that his memory was crumpled like this fallen leaf, and something was left behind by himself.

Xiao Zhen's smile became even bigger when she saw him like this, and she simply let go and giggled, revealing two cute little tiger teeth at the corners of her mouth.

The last bit of doubt in Li Yuan's heart was also dispelled by this smile, he laughed along, and approached Xiao Zhen step by step, reaching out to pinch her round little face when he was about to reach her.

But the hand was halfway out, but it stopped in mid-air.

Jane's smile suddenly disappeared before his eyes, replaced by panic, sorrow, resentment, and confusion......

Her eyes widened to an exaggerated and terrifying arc, as if the next second her eyeballs would fall out of their sockets. Tears rolled in his eyes, and finally overflowed the corners of his eyes and fell down his cheeks as if they were broken.

"Jane?"

Li Yuan called softly, only to find that his voice was so hoarse that he could barely make a sound.

Xiao Zhen didn't look at him, her eyes seemed to pass through his body and fell behind him, and then one hand tightly covered her mouth, afraid that she would scream, and the other hand slowly raised and pointed in the direction of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan turned his head sharply and saw a woman lying on the ground, her hair disheveled, her clothes covered with mottled blood. The woman trembled and slumped to the ground, her eyes fixed on her head.

Li Yuan turned his head to look to the right, and saw a man in a night suit holding a plate axe high above his head with both hands, and approached the unarmed woman who had no power to fight back.

It's Mrs. Xu, Jane's mother!

Li Yuan opened his mouth to stop the black-clothed assassin, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt like a fish in his throat and couldn't make a sound. Looking up again, he saw that the axe in the man's hand had fallen, and it was about to split into Mrs. Xu's body.

But just as the axe was about to touch its target, a figure suddenly crossed the sight of the one-foot-wide plate axe and the woman lying on the ground.

The axe slammed into the rushing body, and the click of broken bones sounded so harsh.

"Sir!"

The woman looked at the old man of the Xu family who was instantly stained red with blood on her chest with a painful face, and shook her head incessantly, unable to say a word.

The assassin was shocked, but he did not stop the assassination operation, only to see him raise one foot high and step on the chest of the old man of the Xu family, and hold the axe with both hands again and pull it outward, his movements as rude as a farmer chopping wood.

However, the axe was stuck in the ribs on the man's chest, and it was not as simple as imagined to pull it out. Annoyed, the Assassin simply pressed the axe two inches into the man's chest, and the man's sternum was overwhelmed and fractured in his body, and the Assassin silently pulled the axe out, ignoring the man's somewhat distorted face due to pain.

The man's body was then taken into the air, and scarlet blood gushed out from between the cracked flesh on his erected chest, splashing the assassin all over his body.

Watching the old man of the Xu family fall, the assassin put up his axe again and approached Madame Xu again.

Li Yuan, who was looking at the scene in front of him, could no longer suppress the anger in his chest, he gritted his teeth, inserted the four fingers of his right hand into his waist, and took out three throwing knives at the same time and threw them at the assassin in unison.

The assassin who was focused on the woman in front of him didn't even notice Li Yuan's presence, and before he could dodge, three throwing knives stabbed into the opponent at the same time, landing on his left shoulder, left leg, and right forearm.

The assassin was stabbed by the throwing knife, and the axe slammed to the ground, and his body collapsed to the ground to investigate his own injuries.

Seeing this, Li Yuan was particularly puzzled, took out three flying knives from his waist again, and aimed them at the chest of the assassin who had no power to fight back at this moment.

"Stop!"

A familiar and unfamiliar voice came from the left, startling Li Yuan to retract his hand abruptly and look in the direction where the voice came from.

A young girl sat down and rode a white tiger from the darkness closer.

The maiden was bathed in a silver halo, like an immortal falling into the mortal world.

Li Yuan stared at the girl's flawless face, only feeling so familiar, but he couldn't remember the other party's name anyway.

He pondered and meditated, but his head suddenly ached, as if an invisible force trapped him in the memories of the past and prevented him from coming out, and the more he tried to escape, the more painful it became, and finally his body seemed to explode.

He cried out in pain, curled up on the ground with his head in his hands.

Seeing this, the girl jumped down from the white tiger, came to him, leaned down and stroked his arm, and whispered, "Li Yuan, wake up quickly." ”

Li Yuan turned his head to look at the girl's close face, and his eyes finally fell on the dark blue light on the girl's forehead, as if a ray of sunlight shone into his heart through the thick fog, dispelling his confusion little by little.

"Xin Zi?"

The memory revived little by little, and Li Yuan realized that he was in the river mussel forest, not the Xu Mansion more than ten years ago.

Xin Zi was sure that Li Yuan had come to his senses and would not make any more indiscriminate actions to hurt innocents, so he turned around and rushed towards the place where Li Yuan's flying knife was thrown.

Li Yuan followed Xin Zi's figure and looked intently, only then did he see that the person he had stabbed as an assassin under the control of illusion was actually Takemoto. (To be continued.) )
