Chapter 1: The Assassins

Next Chapter

"Miss be careful!" The blood-stained maid rushed to Lu Xihe's body, Lu Xihe held her body, and the body in her hand was still warm.

"Run! Miss! A thin maid shouted, and her voice stopped abruptly, and she slowly fell.

The sound of swords around was endless, and the two teams were fighting desperately, and it was obvious that Lu Xihe's side had the upper hand.

Originally, she went out to Yunshan Temple today to ask for a peace charm for her mother. Although her mother is not uncommon...

Who knew that not long after leaving Yunshan Temple, a group of people suddenly rushed out. Lu Xihe went out quietly and didn't bring many guards. Qiulan threw out a bag of silver taels and wanted to send them away. Who knows, their purpose is to kill Lu Xihe!

There were not many of his own people left, Lu Xihe picked up a sword from the ground, and was about to step forward, but he was hit by a servant girl and almost fell. Seeing this, a person on the opposite side slashed with a knife, and Lu Xihe dodged very quickly, but he was still slashed by that person. The knife wound was not deep, but she felt as if she had lost sensation in her right shoulder, and the numbing pain gradually spread.

"Miss!" Seeing this, Qiulan shook off the people who were fighting with her and ran to Lu Xihe's side to prevent someone from hurting her again.

"After running so many times, where else can you run?" The leader said proudly. There are only four people dead on Lu Xihe's side, and it is difficult for her to fly even if she has wings! He motioned for his men to stop.

"This big brother, I have no grievances with you, why do you keep chasing and killing me? You tell me, so that I can die. Pleaseβ€”" Her eyes glistened with tears and she looked extremely pitiful.

The man saw that Lu Xihe was just a little girl, her face was pale when she was injured, and she was a dying person, so she softened her heart for a while and said: "If you want to blame, blame you for offending the Liang family, we collect money to do things for others, you go down, don't blame us." ”

The Liang family? Lu Xihe didn't have to think about it to know who it was, her eyes dimmed, and then she said: "Life should be like this, I naturally won't blame you." It's just that this big brother, listening to your accent, isn't he a local? The man was stunned, not knowing what she was doing.

Lu Xihe continued: "It's no wonder. Don't you know, when the previous dynasty was fighting, it was in Yunshan to kill and slaughter wildly, causing countless resentful spirits to wander in Yunshan, killing people when they saw them, crying and crying night after night, and no one dared to approach within a radius of five miles. Later, a master who traveled all over the world passed through this place, and felt very resentful, so he cast a spell to set up a formation, trying to suppress the resentful spirits. However, the resentful spirits were so angry that the master suggested that a temple be built on the site to temporarily suppress the resentful spirits. ”

The man seemed to waver, looked around, and felt a chill all over.

"When the temple was built, the master told everyone that they must not provoke the resentful spirits, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

The man heard Lu Xihe's voice, and said angrily: "What nonsense! Kill them for me! ”

His subordinates suddenly showed their knives, Lu Xihe's expression changed greatly, and he shouted in horror: "I didn't lie to you!" Look at that stele! She pointed halfway up the mountain, far away, but the stele stood there with great clarity.

"It was a soul stele made to appease the resentful spirits, and at that time the master negotiated with the resentful spirits, and the resentful spirits promised not to do evil again, but they could not kill here. Once they kill, they kill the whole mountain. ”

The man looked strange and was suspicious. Seeing this, Lu Xihe said again: "There were once some people who didn't believe it, claiming to go to Yunshan to intentionally kill people, and see what the resentful spirit did to him." As a result, the entire sky above Yunshan was shrouded in black, and the screams from above continued. When they went to see it, there was no living thing left on the mountain, and all the trees that were splashed with blood no longer grew, but gradually withered..."

The people looked around, and sure enough, the trees were half dead! The soles of the feet are getting colder.

"Even if what you say is true..."

"That's true. Big brothers, it's not worth it to pay for your lives to kill me. Why don't you wait until you get to the bottom of the mountain, you're doing it, how about it? ”

The man thought for a moment, "Hmph, you won't be able to live anyway, it's the same if you die sooner or later!" He waved his hand, and his men quickly tied up the four men.

Lu Xihe is not a person who sits still, enduring the pain in his shoulder while thinking about how to get out.

I don't know if the people she sent out just now would succeed in calling for help...

Even if they can't find anyone, they won't die, her secret guard is nearby. As long as she gives the order, these thieves will surely die. But no, the Secret Guard can't be exposed yet. I can only delay it for a little longer and gamble again!

When the group descended the mountain, the leader turned his head suddenly, "You fucking lied to me!" ”

The corners of Lu Xihe's mouth hooked up a smile, "Who do you blame for not having a brain?" ”

Only then did the group react and rushed over with knives.

At this moment, a silver light flew in front of her eyes, hitting the center of the man's eyebrows, and the man fell in disbelief, his eyes widened.

In the blink of an eye, the situation changed dramatically.

"Take it all for me."

Lu Xihe looked at it, and a man in white was standing behind him, with a pair of bright and clear eyes, shooting a soft and warm light, and his long figure was like a pearl on his side.

There were only a few people behind him, but he easily took down the thief.

"Childe, what should you do with these people?"

The man in white withdrew his gaze, "Send it to the government." ”

Lu Xihe breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were dark, and he fainted.

Seeing this, the man in white said, "Send someone to send her back." ”

It's just a passerby.

He turned to leave, and then remembered something, "The carriage is down the hill." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Qiulan hurriedly helped Lu Xihe up, picked her up and walked down the mountain.

The carriage was parked at the bottom of the hill, and a lantern hung next to the carriage with the word "Ning" written on it.

"Sister Qiulan?"

The two women behind her reminded her that it was time to go, and Qiulan got into the carriage effortlessly, as if she hadn't carried a single person.

Lu Xihe was not stable all night.

That night, she dreamed of her brother, her former mother, the family who loved each other, the good times she had, and the people she might or didn't want to see...

"Miss! Miss! Wake up! ”

Lu Xihe woke up suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be her personal maid Qiulan.

"It's dawn?"

Qiulan was a girl who followed Lu Xihe since she was a child, seeing her pale face, and thinking of Lu Xihe shouting to run when she was sleeping just now, it scared her out of a cold sweat.

"Miss, there is still more than an hour to dawn. Miss, the wound is medicated. Are you still in pain? Why don't we go to Madame tomorrow and ask her to give you a look..."

"Hmph, I don't think so."

Thinking of her mother's attitude towards her, she felt a chill.

What blood is thicker than water is simply a lie!

Qiulan covered the quilt for her and persuaded: "Miss, after all, you are Madame's flesh and blood, and she won't leave you alone." ”

Lu Xihe smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, and a pair of brown eyes were cold to the bottom of his eyes, "Qiulan, it's been eight years." After my brother left, did she look at me with her eyes, and how she treated me, you can see clearly. If it weren't for my fate, would you still be able to see me alive today? That's it, I'm going to wash. ”

"Yes, miss."

Qiulan fetched a basin of water, handed her a towel, and waited for her to finish washing.

"Miss, yesterday, it was that Ning Gongzi who sent someone to send you back. He didn't alarm anyone. Miss, please rest assured. ”

"That's right, miss. Where did you hear about the legend of Yunshan? The slave doesn't seem to have heard of it..."

Lu Xihe couldn't help laughing, "You also believe this, I made it up." ”
