Chapter 19: Fighting

The next day, after having breakfast, Lu Xin rushed to the octagonal pavilion outside the city. She knew that her father's power was not to be underestimated, and if she remained in the city, she would definitely let his people find her.

By the time she arrived at the Octagonal Pavilion, it was already noon. She thought that Qing would come to see her early after receiving her letter. However, she did not see him as expected, and she thought: maybe the trip was delayed for a while. So, she sat in the pavilion and waited patiently.

It's past noon, Qing, still hasn't appeared, Lu Xin has looked at the end of the path countless times, and every time she hopes that in the direction she is looking, Qing's figure will suddenly appear. In exchange, there are always disappointments again and again.

She comforted herself, don't be too anxious, she believes that Qing is not the kind of person who does not believe in his word, she believes that he will come, maybe he has been delayed by some urgent matter, and it is just past noon. She thought about the countless possibilities that she hadn't come to the appointment yet.

As the saying goes: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. When it was almost dusk, Lu Xin didn't see Qing's arrival. Lu Xin is indeed at a loss in her heart this time. Lu Xin thought to herself: She can't wait any longer, otherwise it will be dark for a while, and this is a sparsely populated suburb, so she has to go to a nearby farmhouse or temple to stay overnight and then make plans.

She picked up her baggage, turned around and left the pavilion. Walking on the road, Lu Xin felt extremely lost in her heart, and she thought as she walked: Perhaps, Qing didn't regard her as a friend worth cherishing and paying attention to, right? It's that she is self-inflicted, wishful thinking calls him a brother and brother, and regards him as a confidant. Because of this, when she was in danger, she thought of him.

She thought as she walked, sighed deeply, looked back at the octagonal pavilion that was about to disappear from sight, and muttered to herself: "Qing, today may be goodbye."

It was getting dark, and Lu Xin was walking alone on the forest path, hoping to find a place to live soon.

In the evening, the suburban path seemed exceptionally quiet, but because of the silence, Lu Xin clearly heard the sound of metal crashing not far ahead. Her first reaction was to think that there was someone in front of her. So, she hurried over, and when she got closer and closer, she found that the road had come to an end, and there was a cliff not far away. Some distance from the cliff. She saw four masked men in black, armed with swords attacking a man in a white brocade suit, and the corpses of a dozen men in black were already lying on the ground.

Lu Xin couldn't believe the scene she saw, such grievances in the rivers and lakes would also meet her, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and a wave of unsettled waves. She hid in the grass and felt her legs tingle and couldn't move. She tried to calm her mind and waited for them to finish their fight before quietly leaving. These grievances and partisan strife are not something that a powerless woman like her can help.

She hid in the grass and saw that the four men in black were attacking the man in white on all sides with tacit understanding, and the man in white was also a man with strong weapons, and his moves were fast and accurate to counterattack the four of them. The most unaccustomed thing in Lu Xin's life is to bully the less with more and bully the weak. She silently began to cheer for the man in white in her heart, hoping that he could win them, and at this moment her mood was as exciting as when she once went to Thailand to watch a boxing match, and the fear in her heart was slowly replaced.

After a while, two of the four men in black were defeated by the men in white, and the remaining two were still struggling to kill. Although the man in white had killed so many people, he still didn't dare to relax at all. Lu Xin vaguely saw that the man in white was a little exhausted, and looking at the slight moonlight, Lu Xin found that the clothes on the man in white were blood-red. It's just not sure if it's someone else's blood spilled or his own.

The two sides duel for another quarter of an hour or so, and the remaining two men in black were also seriously injured, and the men in white were still stubbornly fighting. Lu Xin had already analyzed the combat effectiveness of both sides at this time, and she decided to save the man in white. And she believed that he must be a decent man, and that those men in black who were outnumbered by their enemies must not be good people? is the so-called: when Lu saw injustice, she pulled out a knife to help, and her sense of justice exploded again.

The duels on both sides focused on their opponents at this time, so they didn't notice that Lu Xin, who was hiding in the grass, was getting closer and closer.

When Lu Xin crossed over the corpses, she picked up the sharp sword that had been thrown aside and quietly approached them. She hid behind a large tree and tried to stab one of the men in black to lighten the burden on the man in white. But just when Lu Xin got closer, she found that the clothes on the chest of the man in white were torn, and the blood stained the entire chest, and it seemed that he could no longer compete with the two of them. Although the other party was seriously injured, his injuries were not light at all. I saw that he was using all his strength to suppress a man in black. The other man in black also saw this opportunity, and stabbed at the man in white with a sharp sword.

The man in white couldn't take his hands away to fight against the other person, and saw that the opponent's sword was about to stab him. Suddenly, the hand that the man in black stabbed forward suddenly stopped, and slowly turned back to look at Lu Xin, who stabbed him in the back with a sword, and fell down with a bang. Lu Xin's face turned pale with fright, she was very scared in her heart, she killed someone, she killed someone, she kept thinking like this in her heart.

The man in white and the last remaining man in black were surprised by this sudden change. Both looked at Lu Xin, and Lu Xin felt that the man in white was looking at her, and then they looked at each other, and both of them were surprised. Lu Xin never thought that what she was saving now was the life-saving benefactor who saved her yesterday. Xuanyuan Rui didn't expect that the person who saved him at this moment turned out to be the daughter of his enemy.

Regardless of his injuries, the man in black struggled to resist, and Xuanyuan Rui was knocked down by the man in black to a clearing on the edge of the cliff because he had bled too much and his physical strength was seriously overdrawn. Lu Xin didn't know what the reason would make this group of men in black kill him so desperately.

She immediately reacted from the situation just now, ran over with an arrow step, blocked in front of Xuanyuan Rui, and pointed at the black-clothed man with a sword: "If you know each other, leave quickly, otherwise, I, I." The two of us are against you, you and you alone, and you will definitely die. ”

The man in black looked at Lu Xin, who was stammering and finished speaking, not only was he not afraid, but he also sneered: "Hmph, it's up to you?" After speaking, he slowly approached Lu Xin and Xuanyuan Rui's side step by step. Lu Xin took the sword and the injured Xuanyuan Rui stepped back. Xuanyuan Rui was indeed powerless to fight back. He was alone against these well-trained killers, and if he had slackened a little, he would have died hundreds of times. He thought that this time Empress Ling had invested a lot of money and dispatched so many killers to assassinate him, it seemed that she wanted to win it and take his head. He was really careless this time, he came out without an entourage, this time life and death were determined by the destiny of heaven, he couldn't expect this powerless woman who was already scared to stammer could save him.
