Chapter 192: Rescue
"Miss Luo, we're resting here today. β
The carriage slowly stopped, and the leader in charge of the escort lifted the curtain and said.
Lowe gently dragged the anklets out of the carriage - this should be a small village, with only a dozen bungalows scattered as far as the eye could see. By this time it was already dark, and there was a faint smell of cooking smoke wafting in the air, and it was obvious that it was time for each family to make a fire and cook.
She followed the leader into a cottage in the house, where he took two thick iron balls and locked them in anklets.
"I've wronged the girl. β
Lo shook his head slightly, "It's your duty. β
"I'll send someone to bring it to you when the meal is ready. The leader closed the door when he had done this, followed by the grinding of the wires, indicating that the door had been locked from the other side.
Luo closed his eyes lightly and let out a sigh of relief.
The room was cramped, with nothing but a straw bed, and a faint sour smell on the potholed floor.
But she doesn't have anything to be picky about.
The escorts along the way can be said to be courteous to her, and there is no intention of making things difficult and humiliating. In addition, for the sake of secrecy, the carriage was covered with a black curtain around it, and she only fastened her flail and anklets when she was on the carriage, so that she was not exposed to the public like other prisoners.
Compared to these, where to live and what to eat is almost not a problem at all.
Luo gently found that he had never been so free since he was sensible, either learning magic or soaking in the family's library cabinet. Now, these memories seem to be far away from her, and she seems to be completely separated from the genius who attracted attention in Youzhou.
The spine wound on her back no longer hurts, but she knows that something has left a mark on her heart forever.
As for how to go after that, Luo Qing still hasn't thought about it yet.
Because it's a question she hasn't considered for more than a decade.
Order, Duty, Evil, Fighting Skills...... After these things suddenly moved out of her mind, she lost a goal to lead her forward, and dazed and daze became the norm recently.
But she didn't feel anxious.
Because Luo knew lightly that he would have to think about this for a long time to come.
Suddenly, she faintly heard a moan.
Although slight, the small fluctuations in this quiet village seem out of place.
"Girl, your supper is here. β
A moment later, someone outside the door spoke.
Lowe gently noticed that it was a voice she had never heard before.
She kept an eye on it, and did not ask about this doubt, but after answering, she quietly moved to the door.
Iron orbs and shackles can only limit her freedom, but they cannot hinder her movements.
The moment the door opened, it was not a rice bowl that was sent into the room, but a two-handed crossbow.
I only heard two swishing sounds, and the plank bed was instantly shot in half!
Then someone walked into the roomβnot an escort officer, but a masked man with a hood. The dark and dull environment blocked the view of the visitors, so that they could not spot Luo Qingqing leaning against the wall for the first time.
Luo lightly lunged forward and slammed the flail directly into the head of the first person.
The wooden shackles were torn apart, and the smashed, fell without saying a word.
But the other man reacted quickly, drawing his knife and slashing straight at Luo's chest.
Her hands and feet are limited, and she can only retreat. But this person was obviously experienced, and stepped on her anklet first.
Lo lost his balance and fell to the ground on his back.
The assailant stepped up and kicked her in the abdomen, causing her body to curl in pain, and then plunged a knife into her shoulder with both hands.
Luo gently realized that the other party didn't seem to want to take her life directly.
She crossed her hands and caught the thorn with the iron lock on her wristβthe splash of sparks briefly lit up the house.
The two formed a stalemate for a while.
Just when the tip of the knife was only a few inches from the tip of Luo's nose, the attacker suddenly went limp.
A sharp sword pierced his chest.
After Luo gently lifted the other party, she found that it was Luo Tang standing in front of her!
"You're not hurt, are you?" Luo Tang pulled her up and breathed a sigh of relief after looking around her, "It seems that I finally caught up." β
"Why are you here?" said Lowe, lightly surprised.
"Luo Changtian received the news that Luo Yufei did something to you, so we rushed all the way over. "Luo Tang picked up the long knife on the ground?" Quick, put your hand out. β
Concubine Luo...... For some reason, Lowe was not at all surprised when he heard the news.
She did as she said, "Luo Changtian is also here, where is he?"
"The guy is out there blocking the other party. "Luo Tang slashed down with two knives, and neatly cut off the bracelet and anklet on her body, and handed her a medicine bag and a stack of talismans?" The other party still has a lot of manpower? It seems that Luo Yufei is murderous this time. β
"I think...... They didn't want me to die here. β
Luo Tang showed a cold expression?" Wouldn't that be worse?"
"I think so too. Luo gently put away the medicine bag, "Let's go, let's help Luo Changtian." β
When the two came outside, she noticed that there were already several corpses lying on the ground, all dressed as escorts for officers and soldiers.
Thinking of the silence before, it was obvious that they could not react, and they died one by one at the hands of the enemy.
"These people emptied the village in advance, pretending to be villagers, waiting for the moment of nightfall. Luo Tang seemed to see her thoughts, and took the initiative to say, "Luo Yufei knows the route you escorted. β
"Luo Qingqing!" Luo Changtian, who was guarding the gate of the courtyard, couldn't help but smile when he saw that the two were safe and sound, "Long time no see." β
"Okay, let's talk about it when we go back!" Luo Tang scolded with a smile, "Let's think about how to get out of danger first." β
"Xunshu returns, split the sky!" Luo Changtian threw out a violent hurricane, forcing the people who rushed up to retreat and pointed towards the courtyard wall, "There is a dense forest in the east, leading directly to the local river, let's climb the wall into the forest first, and then find a chance to get rid of them!"
"Luo gently, you first. β
Seeing Luo Tang bending down, Luo nodded lightly, stepped on her back and jumped up, climbing onto the top of the earthen wall.
Luo Tang followed.
"Come here, you're the only one left!"
Luo Changtian used the willow brushing technique to roll up a puff of dust, turned around and rushed in the direction of the two of them.
In the dust flying in the sky, Luo suddenly saw a trace of abnormal writhing, as if a curtain of water had been inserted into his field of vision, causing the dust in the moonlight to twist slightly.
"Watch your back!" Luo reminded softly and hurriedly.
Luo Changtian was stunned, and subconsciously pinched out a talisman and looked back, but he was still a step slower.
A figure condensed from the night, almost sticking to him with the short sword in his hand.
After piercing the layers of clothing, the tip of the sword emerged from Luo Changtian's back.
In the moonlight, it seemed to flow with a faint chill - and that chill was dark red.
