Chapter 57: Liu Hua's kindness
He looked at the people who had already returned to the room to rest, a little helpless.
"Just go to Fu Wan and ask? Are you willing to be honest? Or, since you treat me Lu Chen as a bad person, why can't you be bad to the end? Hehe. ”
Lu Chen watched the night slowly approach, he entered the guest room, and never saw him come out again.
The entire courtyard was silent, and none of the ten rooms walked out of the courtyard again, and in the Fufu hall, Fu Wan was walking back and forth, with a trace of panic on his face.
Now.
A black shadow appeared in the hall, he held a spear, stared closely at the panicked ambush, the spear in his hand emitted a cold light, and when he saw this, he immediately subconsciously took a step back.
"Who are you? What do you want? After Fu Fu, a suspiciously frightened voice sounded.
He glanced around, and just as he was about to shout, the tip of the gun was already at his throat, and a cold hoarse voice came out: "Say, where is the secret key?" ”
At this time.
After Fu Wan, he was stunned and stared at the other party tightly, but he didn't make the slightest sound, although the head of the opponent's spear had pierced the skin of his throat, and a trace of blood stained the sharp tip of the spear red.
The tip of the spear in the black-clothed man's hand stabbed half a minute more and said coldly: "Say, don't say that your Fufu has no meaning of existence." ”
That's when it happened.
Around the hall, a column of crossbowmen suddenly appeared, they were holding crossbows, half-crouching on the ground, and the crossbow arrows were aimed at the man in black.
The man in black did not panic at all, pulled out the dagger on his waist, and grabbed the man who was stabbed by the spear, the spear was thrown down, and the dagger was stuck in the neck of the man, and the man in black took the man as a hostage, and slowly glanced at the two hundred crossbowmen around.
He said coldly: "Retreat, give me all the retreat." ”
He slashed his dagger at the neck of Fu Wan, and coldly forced them: "Tell them to quit, I only need you to tell me the whereabouts of the secret key, as long as you tell me, I will let you go, say it quickly." ”
Half ringing.
After the end, he still didn't spit out half a word.
The black-clothed man took another point in his dagger, and shouted angrily in a cold and hoarse voice: "After the ambush, you are looking for death!" ”
I saw that a blood line was cut out of the throat by a dagger.
Instead of retreating, the crossbowman aimed his crossbow at the head of the man in black, and when the man in black saw this, his palms gradually broke out in a cold sweat, and at the same time, the dagger accidentally scraped a deeper blood mark on the skin of his throat in his nervous moment.
There was a sizzling sound.
There was a whoosh, and the crossbow bolts burst through the air.
The man in black slowly turned his head, only to see a beautiful figure coming out of the inner courtyard holding a crossbow in his hand, pulling the crossbow machine, and the crossbow arrow came towards his head.
A stream of blood ran down the bridge of his nose and onto his lips, and a pungent and fishy smell of blood passed from his nose and mouth back to his head.
His look of horror was in disbelief that this was true.
Bang knock.
With a clang, the dagger fell to the ground, and he fell to the ground with a thud, blood flowing down the crossbow arrow in his head, and he was already dead no longer dead.
Lu Chen, who was hidden in the dark, was cold for a while, his back was already wet with cold sweat, he shrunk his hands and feet against the wall, and looked at the crossbowman who directly lifted the man in black out.
Subsequently.
After instructing the servants to wash the hall with water, he left the hall with the beautiful shadow and returned to the inner courtyard.
Lu Chen tiptoed along the wall over the remote back, pushed open the window of his guest room, jumped in, and immediately sat down in front of the window, exhaled heavily, patted his chest with his hand, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
And it was not only Lu Chen who tiptoed back to the guest room, but also Zhu Hong, Lin Jun, and Yu Wenyuan, who still came back from the other side of the hall.
The night passed quickly.
The sun shone on the side courtyard, Lu Chen woke up early, he sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, looked at the warm sunlight that came from the radiation, slowly closed his eyes, and glanced at Zhu Hong, Yu Wenyuan, and Lin Jun who pushed the door open.
Yu Wenyuan took the lead in greeting: "Su Datuo, you got up really early, haha." ”
Lu Chen smiled faintly.
At this time, Li Long and the others also came out, and he replied: "Everyone got up quite early, I wonder if you have any plans for this task?" Should we go ......?"
Before Lu Chen finished speaking.
Li Long laughed and said: "What's the matter, just ask directly, why are you making such a trouble, really, I don't understand you." ”
Lu Chen looked around at Yu Wenyuan and the others, and saw that none of the three of them spoke, but only trembled slightly.
He paused, pondered for a while, and replied, "Well, I think what Brother Li said is not unreasonable, you can try to ask, maybe we can tell us the whereabouts of the secret key under the grace of our escort." ”
Yu Wenyuan and the others glanced at each other and paused.
Eventually, he nodded.
Li Long clapped his hands and applauded: "Let's take Su Datuo as the lead, according to Su Datuo's merits, this must be much easier, don't you say?" ”
Yu Wenyuan nodded.
Lu Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at the expectant eyes of Li Long and the others, and sighed secretly in his heart, but he couldn't tell them that he was targeted by Fu Fu, otherwise, a little cub like Lin Jun would definitely run to Fu Wan to add fuel to the fire, and kill himself with the help of Fu Wan's hand.
He immediately refused politely: "Brother Li, Yuwen, I won't go when I see the end of the ambush, it just so happens that I still have some important things to do, I really don't have time today, or Brother Yihong will go to the same place, everyone is an escort hero, I believe that Fu Wan will definitely see everyone's face and tell everyone the whereabouts of the secret key." ”
Li Long paused.
Yu Wenyuan looked at Lu Chen curiously, he had already discovered that Lu Chen's behavior was not normal since he entered the Fu Mansion, and he seemed to be always worried about the task, but he tried to avoid Fu Wan and the others.
Yu Wenyuan suddenly guessed: "Could it be that he has some ulterior secrets?" ”
That's when it happened.
A servant who looked like a butler came to the gate of the courtyard, and he bowed his hand and said, "Generals, my master is invited." ”
He led the people out of the courtyard and into the hall.
Lu Chen followed slowly at the end, glanced around vigilantly, and then saw that there was no one around, and then slowly followed into the hall.
The person sitting in the hall was Fu Wan, and on the side was the woman holding a crossbow last night, he was sitting next to Fu Wan, no need to think about it, it must be Liu Hua, the eldest princess of Yang'an.
Yu Wenyuan and the others immediately saluted and said, "I have seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and I have seen the eldest princess." ”
Liu Hua nodded, raised his hand to signal them to be polite, and did not speak or make superfluous movements.
It was only Liu Hua who received them.
The formal politeness is finished.
Liu Hua slowly glanced at Lu Chen, who was in the last row, and she asked slowly, "I don't know which of you is the town marquis?" I heard that the marquis of the town is resourceful and powerful, and when the enemy is surrounded, he can not only protect the safety of the eldest princess Liu Ying, but also drive the horse to kill the enemy? His Royal Highness wants to know, know, this wise and brave little marquis on the edge of the town. ”
When Lu Chen heard Liu Hua's words, his body trembled unconsciously, he slowly got up, bowed his head and arched his hand and saluted: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, it is right below." Su Xiaochen thanked Her Royal Highness for the reputation of the eldest princess, but escorting the eldest princess Liu Ying was exactly where the accusation lies, and the eldest princess is so praised by the eldest princess, she is really ashamed. ”
Although he was flustered in his heart, he couldn't lose his square inch after all, otherwise he would really offend this iron lady, and it was difficult to say whether he could get out of the Fu Mansion.
Liu Hua saw Lu Chen's answer in a neutral tone, but there was an appreciative smile on his face.
She smiled and said: "Yes, the town marquis is worthy of being the dragon among the people, I wonder if the town marquis is interested in participating in the school competition set up by His Royal Highness?" ”
A picture flashed in Lu Chen's mind, and he immediately refused politely: "Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, there are important matters to deal with in the next few days, and you may not be able to participate in the competition held by the eldest princess, which is really worthy of the invitation of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
Liu Hua was suspiciously surprised and said, "Oh, what important things do you need to deal with at the edge of the town?" Say it and see if His Highness can help you? ”
Countless CNMs floated by in Lu Chen's heart.
No one here knows anyone, and there are still things to deal with, Lu Chen shouted bitterly in his heart, and he wouldn't make it up if he knew it.
He could only arch his hand and say: "Her Royal Highness Princess Xie's concern, but it is just a trivial matter, I really don't dare to bother Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, this, I am really embarrassed, let down the kindness of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
A hint of coldness flashed in Liu Hua's eyes.
Lu Chen immediately noticed a chill in his back, and faintly, it seemed that countless eyes were staring at him, and at the same time, Lin Jun and the others were also very curious, why did Liu Hua only target Lu Chen, could it be that Lu Chen really did something unsightly to Liu Ying, but wasn't this a river crab?
Li Long showed a meaningful smile and said secretly: "It is worthy of Su Datuo." ”
The atmosphere in the hall gradually became gloomy.
That's when it happened.
Just now, the housekeeper and servant came with the rest of the hundred lords, and in an instant, a killing intent flashed on Liu Hua's face, but he quickly hid it, and signaled: "Since the town border marquis really has something to deal with, then we will postpone the competition for a few days, and wait until the town border marquis is free, and then have a fair contest, I don't know what the generals think?" ”
Liu Hua's words fell, Yu Wenyuan and the others glanced at each other, and immediately looked at Lu Chen, only to see Lu Chen's face showing bitterness, his hands hanging down, and he looked weak, obviously having given up struggling.
They nodded back one after another: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arranged it." ”
Lu Chen sat down slowly, only to see Liu Hua showing a sly smile, and after everyone saluted and asked for instructions, Liu Hua beckoned everyone to leave the hall, and Lu Chen hurriedly followed Li Long and the others back to the courtyard.
"Su Datuo, tell me honestly, are you on~ that woman?" Li Long asked with a grin as he caught up with him.
Lu Chen's face darkened, and he looked at Li Long, who questioned him with a lewd smile, and was immediately furious, eager to directly make a system announcement to show his innocence.
He glanced at Li Long speechlessly, and said coldly, "Do you think I look like that kind of person?" ”
Li Long paused.
Straightened his chest and tilted his head and slowly circled, carefully looking at the person wearing a plush coat, with a somewhat sophisticated black belly on his face, and a pair of squinting eyes glancing at himself from time to time, Li Long clapped his hands violently, startling Lu Chen.
He scolded: "Li Long, are you so sick!" ”
Li Long was not angry at all, and there was a meaningful smile on his face.
He smiled and said, "You're, you're that kind of person, hahaha." ”
Before Li Long could react, Lu Chen had already stormed out in an instant, took out the silver spear and stabbed it violently, roaring angrily in his mouth: "Get out of ......"
