Chapter 41: Shock
Ping'er felt that Lu Zhixing might have come to pick up Jiang Wan back to the palace, but it was just her conjecture. And after so many days, Jiang Wan has never expressed his desire to return to the palace, if Lu Zhixing really wants to take her away this time, I don't know what Jiang Wan will think.
"No need, I have other things to do here, and when she comes back, you will let her wait for me in the room."
After that, Lu Zhixing took Changge to go around other places first. Chang Ge looked at Lu Zhixing so awkwardly, and felt a little helpless. Lu Zhixing said that there were other things to deal with, but in fact, he also wanted to see if he could meet Jiang Wan. He was a little curious about what Jiang Wan would look like when he saw him.
Jiang Wan didn't know that Lu Zhixing had come to the royal nunnery, otherwise she would have to leave early in the morning with her hired son. Jiang Wan had already figured out the route at this time, and was ready to go back and call Shang'er to go with him. She passed by the square in front of the main hall of the Imperial Nunnery, where monks from other monasteries had already gathered, and Master Yuanli was on stage to make a routine greeting with the delegates.
Just as Jiang Wan was about to leave, the black-clothed man suddenly came out of nowhere, and the black clothes were especially eye-catching among the cultivators. Before everyone could react, the men in black had already begun to kill.
Screams and shouts came one after another, and everyone present was in chaos, and the cultivators who knew how to do kung fu collectively went out to fight with the killers.
"Help, someone is seriously injured!"
"Get out of here!"
The originally peaceful scene suddenly turned into a human purgatory, the martial arts of the people in black were not low, the cultivators soon fell behind, and the more miserable ones died directly.
Master Yuanli had never encountered this situation in his life, and he was stunned for a while. A man in black noticed her and went straight for her, and just as the bright blade was about to pierce the chest of Master Yuanli, Changge refuted it with a long sword.
"Who are you?"
"You don't need to know."
Jiang Wan looked at the panic that suddenly erupted in front of her, and at this moment, she just wanted to go back quickly to confirm the safety of Hio'er. Master Yuanli reacted, immediately calmed down, and commanded the cultivators to leave.
Chang Ge fought with the man at the head, and the two were equal in martial arts, and no one took advantage of it for a while. Chang Ge's face was embarrassed at this time, he knew that these people were definitely not just here to slaughter cultivators.
"Could it be that their whereabouts have been exposed?!"
Changge thought they were on a landing trip, but it was too late to think about it at this time. The moment Chang Ge was distracted, the man in black found a flaw, and as soon as the blade turned and his figure moved, he wanted to take Chang Ge's head.
But fortunately, Lu Zhixing will not take only one person with him, his other secret guards appeared in time, and the black-clothed man dodged away when he saw someone rescued.
"Hire'er, where are you?"
Jiang Wan ran towards his yard, but he bumped into Lu Zhixing, who was also rushing here. Jiang Wan was surprised by Lu Zhixing's appearance at this time, but she was afraid that something would happen to her son.
Jiang Wan had a hunch in her heart that most of the killer attacks this time were aimed at her, but there was only one person in her yard.
"Where are you going?!"
Lu Zhixing grabbed Jiang Wan and almost dragged her to the ground. Jiang Wan didn't care about anything else at this time and threw Lu Zhixing away, "Don't stop me!" ”
Jiang Wan returned to the yard, and Ping'er was in the yard at this time, but her condition was not very good. It turned out that the man in black took the first step to the courtyard, but found that the person he wanted to kill was not there, so he caught Ping'er and forced her to ask her where Jiang Wan was.
"Lord, master, go quickly."
Ping'er's neck was choked by the man in black, she looked sideways at Jiang Wan, and tried her best to let her leave quickly.
"You let her go, I know you're coming for me!"
The man in black was really obedient, and when he saw Jiang Wan, he let go of his hand, and Ping'er fell to the ground, holding his neck and coughing violently.
The man in black rushed over with an arrow, "Don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Lu Zhixing flew over with a long sword, wiping Jiang Wan's hair and shooting straight at the killer's shoulder. The killer turned around and avoided the past, he didn't expect Jiang Wan to have such a powerful helper.
"It's not easy to fly a sword with internal force."
"I'll take the compliment, but it's a pity you don't have a chance to say it a second time."
Just when Lu Zhixing and the killer were confronted, Jiang Wan ran over to see if Ping'er was injured. Bing'er shook her head, signaling that she hadn't been hurt and told her not to worry.
Lu Zhixing flew out of the long sword just now, and at this time, there was no weapon in his hand, and the killer was not afraid of him. He already knew Lu Zhixing's identity, but nothing could stop him from completing his mission.
"Your Majesty, go on!"
Jiang Wan threw the long sword on the side to Lu Zhixing, but at this moment, the killer whistled, and several people in the same outfit appeared on the roofs around him.
Lu Zhixing's eyes darkened, these people really came prepared. Chang Ge and a group of secret guards arrived in time, and the two sides were in a stalemate, and soon the battle was about to break out.
"They're coming for me, hurry up and hide."
Jiang Wan helped Ping'er and wanted to leave first while she was in chaos, but she was noticed by a sharp-eyed killer and wanted to come over to take her life.
"Master, be careful!"
"Poof." With a sound, it was the sound of the sword sinking into the flesh and blood, and Ping'er blocked the sword for Jiang Wan. The man didn't expect that he would miss, Jiang Wan's body was Ping'er's blood, and his wide eyes were Ping'er's fallen figure.
"I'm going to kill you!"
Jiang Wan instantly picked up a killer corpse on the ground and slashed at the man, but the man couldn't react and was stabbed. Lu Zhixing, who was on the side, saw this scene and jumped over and sealed his throat with a sword.
"Are you alright?"
The silver light flashed behind Lu Zhixing, and there was another person who came with his life, Jiang Wan hugged Lu Zhixing's shoulders, the two of them reversed their positions, and she fell into Lu Zhixing's arms with a sword like a child.
When Jiang Wan woke up again, she was lying in her room, and the sword was not fatal, but it was injured in her shoulder. Because the wound was too deep, she actually fainted in pain. She tried to get up, but she moved her shoulder, and the sudden pain made her frown.
"You're awake, don't move."
Lu Zhixing walked in from outside the house, his clothes still had blood stains stained by the fight, but fortunately it was not his. The moment Jiang Wan fell into his arms, he was so flustered that his breathing stopped at that moment, for fear that she would leave him like this.
"Where's Hio'er, how is Hiro'er?"
"You can rest assured, Hi'er was treated in time, and now there is no life-threatening situation, but he has not woken up yet."
Jiang Wan regretted very much why she brought Hi'er here, if Hi'er died because of herself today, then she was afraid that she would have to blame herself for the rest of her life.
"What happened to the killers?"
"Those killers were all exterminated, and the leader was captured alive, but I would rather die than talk about the mastermind behind it, I wanted to take it back for interrogation, but he was ready to bite his mouth and die of poison."
When Lu Zhixing mentioned this, his brows furrowed, and his expression was very serious.
Chang Ge and the dark guard teamed up to subdue the killer led by him, and Lu Zhixing hugged Jiang Wan, who had fainted, he had never been so angry.
"No matter what method you use, you have to put the words out for me."
Lu Zhixing didn't interrogate, he just wanted to find someone to treat Jiang Wan as soon as possible. He didn't leave the room until Jiang Wan's injuries were treated, but at this moment the man had committed suicide.
Lu Zhixing's eyes were sharp, his gray eyes were surging with monstrous waves, these people were well-trained, and he actually lost several secret guards in this fight.
"Your Majesty, are these killers coming for you?"
"They didn't come for me, no one knew about my trip, they came for Jiang Wan, someone wanted her life."
When Lu Zhixing said this, his tone was so cold that it seemed to condense into ice. Chang Ge knew that the mastermind behind this time had really touched Lu Zhixing's scales.
Lu Zhixing looked at the killer who had already choked his breath, and turned around, "Dispose of them all, the innocent casualties of this assassination will be dealt with alive." ”
Master Yuanli was also shocked at this time, and this turmoil was not only a heavy casualty in the royal nunnery, but also a great impact on other temples and nunnery. The blood in the square where the previous lecture had not yet dried up completely, which shocked passers-by, and the massacre of Fang Cai and the tragic situation of the cultivators resurfaced in front of their eyes.
"Fate is the master's day of mourning."
"Your Majesty."
Yuan Li saluted Lu Zhixing, "Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty can allow the poor nuns to open an altar in the nunnery in three days, so as to surpass the people who died in this shocking change." ”
"Yes."
"Poor nun, thank Your Majesty for all the Buddhas."
Jiang Wan knew that it was because of her that so many innocent people were implicated this time, and those people died for her. Jiang Wan fell into deep self-blame and guilt for a while, unable to extricate himself. Lu Zhixing looked at Jiang Wan like this, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
Since the day Jiang Wan woke up, her appetite has dropped greatly, she almost doesn't eat or drink, and she doesn't speak.
"You can't go on like this, you should always think about hiring, isn't it possible that you want her to wake up and see you who are so indifferent and ghostly?"
Jiang Wan was still unmoved, Lu Zhixing had no choice, and sighed and prepared to leave.
"Tomorrow's excess, I want to go and see it."
Jiang Wan suddenly spoke, which made Lu Zhixing happy, although Jiang Wan still had injuries on her body, but this was probably the only way for her to come out.
"Okay."
On the day of the overture, the royal nunnery was desolate and sad, and the names of the dead monks were all recorded on the wind horse, flying with the wind. The surviving people chanted sutras for the deceased in the square.
Jiang Wan saw a familiar name on the wind horse - Dao Jue Shitai. The mean woman who had been a threat in front of her actually left.
Jiang Wan was in the corner, listening to the excessive scriptures, and finally burst into tears. Lu Zhixing walked out from behind her and gently patted her on the shoulder.
After Hio'er woke up, Lu Zhixing told Jiang Wan that he was going to take them back to the palace. Jiang Wan resisted very much, but Lu Zhixing was very firm, and no one could shake his decision.
"I must take you back to the palace, after this incident, your cultivation should also end, if you are still dedicated to the Buddha, I will let you go to the Queen Mother as a companion."
He couldn't let Jiang Wan out of his sight anymore.
