"Do you still want to talk to me about the Satu?"

Looking at Caterina in a daze, Lu Qi said slowly.

Caterina came back to her senses and glared at him with some shame in her eyes, the heavy snow outside made her hands and feet even colder at the moment.

As an assassin whose heart should have been as cold as a knife, her emotions had never fluctuated like today.

It's not because of how handsome and charming the man in front of him is.

It's the faint smile on his face, and there is a magic that attracts people to smash his fist past.

After calming her breath and stabilizing her mind, Caterina looked at Luci: "I hope you can do what you say." ”

She knew that she was not qualified to negotiate conditions at this moment.

She had already experienced the poison she had just experienced, and Caterina knew that even her body, which had tried the poison countless times, could not resist it.

Now his life depends entirely on what Lu Qi thinks.

And in front of her, there are nothing more than two choices.

Either believe him, believe that he will solve the matter of Duke Kao as he says, and he will give her back her freedom.

Either you don't believe him, take advantage of the antidote you have just taken, and go straight to this guy to hold this guy hostage and get the complete antidote.

Not to mention the success rate of doing this, as long as she does it, the movement will definitely attract the guards outside, and her end will be the same.

As long as you are not a fool, you know which one to choose at this time.

Katerina doesn't want to die, so she prefers to trust Lucci to do what she says.

So, there's not much more to say.

Seeing that she had figured it out, Lu Qi smiled: "Good night then, I wish you a good dream." ”

Resisting the urge to turn around and throw the dagger in the man's face, Caterina turned around coldly and walked out of the tent.

Tonight, I was destined to have no good dreams.

Watching Caterina walk out of the tent, Luki drank the tea from the cup in one gulp, then stretched and said, "How?" ”

"It should be true, I can feel her desire and unwillingness to live when she is desperate. I also felt the deepest, indescribable scar in her heart. The people who hurt her the most were the people closest to her. ”

Sana stepped out from behind the tent, and the voice came to Luki's head.

Even Caterina trained not to be weak in perception, but she didn't notice that she had quietly come back after leaving.

Sana recalls the melody she heard inside Katarina, and although she can't tell whether a person's words are true or false, the melody doesn't lie to her.

Just like just now, she seemed to see Caterina's childhood, the rigorous training day after day, year after year, and the heart that gradually cooled down.

and a scar that could barely heal, from those closest to her.

Her father.

He cultivated Caterina as a cold-blooded weapon, and even if it was damaged, he would not feel the slightest distress.

So, Caterina grew up under this inhuman training.

However, in the deepest part of her heart, Sana also felt that Caterina did not just succumb to her fate.

The fate of many people is often decided from birth, some people eventually give in, and some people desperately resist.

Just like Miss Kenji, she finally broke the shackles of fate with a sword and stood proudly in front of everyone.

The same goes for Caterina.

"It doesn't sound like I'm lying."

Lu Qi nodded slightly.

Sana could hear the melodies of a person's heart, and to her they were like all sorts of sounds.

It's not really a voice, but she can understand part of it.

For example, Katerina's desire to survive when she was most unwilling was accompanied by her painful childhood memories, which was felt by Saena.

So she felt that Caterina was not lying, so the credibility was still very high.

Like this kind of poison, I am afraid of the kind of people who don't want to live.

If you're in a hurry, you don't want to live, and you're fighting a fish to break the net, although the fish is dead and the net is not necessarily broken, but it's always going to be more troublesome.

Luki admits that he has a little selfishness, but he also doesn't want to be mistaken by his selfishness.

Now that it's confirmed that the little assassin not only wants to live, but also seems to have a strong desire to survive, then it's okay.

Lu Qi looked at Sana and smiled: "It's not too early, you should rest early." ”

"Hmm." Sana answered, but did not leave directly, but came to Lu Qi's side, sat down gently, and snuggled up to him with a fragrant breeze: "It seems that I haven't been alone with His Highness like this for several days."

Her heartfelt voice came out, lingering, and it tickled people's hearts.

Even if she is a person who already knows the roots, but leaning on Lu Qi, Suona still feels a little shy, and her heartbeat accelerates.

"yes." Lu Qi took the girl's soft and boneless little hand, and did not offend again, but just clinged to each other like this.

With a sweet smile on her lips, she was already very satisfied by now.

It's just that a woman who has tasted sweetness will only want more.

And Suanna's courage only quenched her thirst, and within a few minutes she got up with a red face, leaving a sentence of "I'm resting" and ran out of the tent.

After all, Kahina and Lux's tent is next door, and no matter how bold she is, she doesn't dare to exercise here.

Next.

In the early hours of the morning, it snowed for nearly a dozen hours before it stopped, and after a night, the temperature in the air dropped a lot.

When I walked out of the tent early in the morning, the cold chill ran into my body in an instant.

The snow inside the camp had been cleared, but outside the camp, the snow had accumulated a thick layer that was almost as high as an adult's leg.

Rao is Lu Qi, and it is the first time he has seen such a large amount of snow.

Looking up at the sky, it was still gloomy and compassionate, but there should not be any more snow of this magnitude in the near future.

At this point, no one slept lazy, and basically got up.

Katerina doesn't look like she's sleeping well.

was seen by Lux and asked with concern: "Didn't you sleep well last night?" How do you feel like you're in bad shape. ”

"It's fine." Caterina smiled at her, but it seemed to be a forced smile, and her eyes casually skimmed over Lucky.

Something like that happened last night, and she'll hell if she can sleep well.

She still hadn't figured out why Luci hadn't controlled her, but had given her this level of freedom.

Could it be that this prince is really so confident that he will eat her?

Although it is certainly better to let her stay here as a prisoner.

"Wake up and get to work, and announce one thing by the way." Lu Qi looked at the people in front of him with a smile on his face, "Caterina was impressed by my personal charm and decided to become my maid, everyone applauded." ”

Of course, there was no applause, and when the words fell, the girls in front of them were all confused, and they all felt as if they had missed something.

Lux looked at Caterina puzzled, "Are your eyes not very good?" I know a friend who treats eyes, would you like to introduce it to you? ”

People like Yunar, who work as a maid for this guy for a salary, they can still understand.

But what the hell is Katerina?

Does this slut still have this charm?

Caterina also wanted to say that she would be impressed by this guy's personal charm when she was blind, but at the moment she could only nod her head: "That's the case. Anyway, I don't have a hometown, so it's better to stay with His Royal Highness the prince and do things."

Lux sighed and looked at Caterina sympathetically.

Not only was his hometown destroyed by Noxus, but now he is young and his eyes are not good.

She decided to be nice to Caterina in the future.

This girl looked sorry, and Lu Qi was very angry when she saw it, and directly raised her hand and rewarded it.

Lux flashed nimbly.

Then he stood there, with an arrogant and provocative expression, as if he had inexhaustible energy early in the morning.

Lu Qi didn't bother to take care of the goods, and said, "Don't be idle, pack up, and get ready to go." ”

He then gave the order to begin packing up the makeshift camp and then proceed with the departure later.

Everyone quickly got busy, and naturally no one was idle for this kind of thing, including Lu Qi.

His mission is to clear the snow from the road ahead, as the snow will affect the speed of the team.

And he happens to have good snow clearing skills.

Wind Resisting Swordsmanship.

Lu Qi held the blade of snow in his hand, stood in front of the snow, condensed the wind intent, and then slashed out with a sword.

With a "whew", a small tornado whistled out, rolling up the snow on the road, and clearing the road more than 20 meters with a sword.

Seeing this, Lux was also eager to try.

The last time she saw Lu Qi use the Wind Resisting Sword Technique to clean the dust off the walls, she was full of yearning for this trick.

Now her wind resistance swordsmanship has also reached the level where she can cut out the wind blade.

I saw her holding her sword, came to Lu Qi's side, and said excitedly: "Let me try it too!" ”

Seeing this, Lu Qi glanced at her blushing little face, nodded, and moved out of the way.

So Lux took a stance, took a deep breath, and held her little hand on the hilt of her sword, very seriously.

Not to mention, it's a bit different.

Wind intent gradually began to condense on her body, and immediately, a sword slashed out.

It is also a small tornado, not as big as Lu Qi's, but it can also blow snow, the distance is only ten meters, and it is not as clean as Lu Qi's.

But looking at the scene in front of her, Lux had bright eyes and a happy and excited smile on her face.

She turned her head and looked at Lu Qi triumphantly, "How's it going?" ”

Lu Qi had an expression of disbelief: "You have actually practiced to this extent?" ”

"Humph!" Lux snorted, even more proud: "Of course! That's what I did! ”

"Shhh

Lucky gasped in horror.

This surprised expression made Lux's vanity burst, and she couldn't wait to run to the end of the snowy road, condense the wind, and slash out with another sword.

The tornado of this sword is bigger, blowing more snow and farther.

Then, she turned around and revealed a Lu Qi version of the Dragon King's smile: "I can only say, little meaning." ”

"This" Lu Qi was speechless in shock, and then said in disbelief: "You only have these two swords at most." ”

"Heh, don't try to fool me into doing your best."

Lux's clever horse has already seen Luqi's fake acting skills.

She has been cheated by this guy I don't know how many times, and she knows that this guy clearly wants her to work hard stupidly.

Seeing this, Lu Qi could only sigh that the little golden retriever was not easy to fool these days.

"Then one person, let's work together."

The road always has to be clear, and it is better for more than one person to help.

"Okay."

At this time, Lux did not refuse.

Not far away, Caterina caught a glimpse of the situation at this end, and her heart was slightly startled.

She didn't expect that Lu Qi still had this swordsmanship that could resist the wind, although she had seen him fight with a sword yesterday, but she didn't know anything about this wind-resisting swordsmanship.

No wonder last night, he dared to share a tent with her alone.

Obviously, this prince didn't think that even if she tried hard, she would be able to beat him.

Half an hour later, the makeshift camp was cleaned up.

Those who could bring them with them continued to bring them, and those who could not be brought with them remained here.

The team followed the path cleared by Lucky and Lux and continued to set off.

After all, the two of them did not have the physical strength to exhaust, and after clearing the road for a while, they returned to the team and handed over the job to the others.

After resting, they were all a little out of breath, and after some activity, they felt that their bodies were not so cold.

On the afternoon of December 1.

After a day and a half, the team finally arrived in Hill City.

Jiawen IV, who knew the news in advance, was already at the gate of the city to greet him, and when he saw Lu Qi's figure appear, he greeted him.

"Second brother!"

Jiawen IV gave Lu Qi a hug warmly, then looked at him, and said inexplicably: "You said you, why did you come all the way from the royal capital." ”

"That must be, I want to fight side by side with you, big brother."

Lu Qi smiled and looked at Gavin IV.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, and Jiawen IV's beard has grown a little, and he looks at the unshaven beard, and there is a little longing in his eyes.

But his spirit has not changed, and he still gives people a sense of reliability.

"Not to mention, since you are already here, then our two brothers will fight together."

Gavin IV patted Luqi on the shoulder.

Originally, he thought that with Lu Qi in the royal capital, he could fight the enemy with confidence outside.

After all, there must always be a prince who stays in the country.

But now that Lu Qi has come all the way from the royal capital in order to help him, this brotherhood must be cherished by Jiawen IV no matter what.

If there is a fight, he, as a big brother, will naturally protect Lu Qi and will not let him have anything to do.

"Let me introduce you, this is Sivana and this is Katarina, we met on the road when they were fighting a Noxian warband."

Lucky, stepping out of his seat, gave a brief introduction to Shivana and Katarina.

When Gavin IV heard this, he looked at the two and said, "On behalf of Demacia, I welcome the two. ”

Shivana nodded slightly, looked at Jiawen IV, and said, "Hello, His Royal Highness. ”

"Hello."

Caterina followed.

"Let's talk about the rest in town."

Gavin IV smiled and welcomed the party into the city.
