"Hidden tent" 75

The men in black lined up in a row, as if they wanted to wait for the battle, but the battle was broken and scattered.

Lu Jiuxiao glanced around and raised his eyes to the leader and said, "Where are she?"

The man wiped the corner of his bloody mouth, "Captain Lu, offended me."

After saying that, he rushed forward first, and the rest received instructions and walked forward with their knives.

The long sword in Lu Jiuxiao's hand was unsheathed, and he waved his hand to cut off one of the people's arms. He took advantage of his retreat and stepped on his shoulders and neck, jumped behind him, and helped him run three steps to get a fatal blow.

It is unlikely to win the more with less, and it is impossible to be unharmed. Soon, his crimson robe became a little heavier, but the color of the clothes was red, but if you don’t look closely, you won’t see any blood.

He suddenly bent his lips, as if he didn't know the pain, and he provocatively flicked his robe, "Tsk, such a good opportunity, our Duke will send you here, who do you look down on?"

The leader's expression was dark. If he hadn't used the fraud, he would have damaged half of his people, and he would have died under the knife. Whose soul was still unknown!

He had heard of Prince Lu's name and knew that he was not a playboy like Li Er who could not handle it. He had even been famous in the past, but if a martial arts practitioner did not hold a sword for many years, he would be useless after a long time. It would be considered good if he could block one or two moves, but it was rare to be able to compete with the masses.

But under this sword, the most taboo thing is to underestimate the enemy.

After Lu Jiuxiao said that, he raised his sword and rushed forward.

At this moment, it seemed like he had returned to the year he first came to Kyoto.

A cluster of flames seemed to be ignited in the man's eyes, and the blood in his body seemed to be about to boil. His palms holding the hilt of the sword tightened, his joints turned white, and his veins burst out.

When he cut off the last head, blood splattered Lu Jiuxiao all over. He turned around and jumped, pointing his sword at the leader in the bushes.

Just as the sword was approaching, the man in black lifted the little girl hidden in the bush with one hand and blocked her in front of him.

Lu Jiuxiao's pupils tightened and deflected the blade at the critical moment. The man in black broke out the sword at this moment, and he had to take this move with his bare hands.

Shen Shiqi was pushed down to the mud, watching Lu Jiuxiao holding the sword edge that was stabbed by the other party, and broke it with a "stop". Taking advantage of this, he put his foot on the man in black's chest and inserted the half of the sword edge straight into the man in black's left arm.

The man's eyes were red, holding the blade and slashing down, cutting open the man in black's arms, revealing the disgusting flesh and blood inside.

He patted the man on the face and panted and said, "Go back and tell your master, let him close the doors and windows at night, I can't bear it."

Lu Jiuxiao wiped the blood stains on his face with his wrist, stood up and kicked him twice: "Don't you get out?"

The man in black forced himself to stand up, and saw that Lu Jiuxiao really had no intention of killing him, so he staggered towards the jungle path.

Lu Jiuxiao turned around and walked towards the little girl tied up, but saw her staring blankly at the bloody mess on the ground, with a dull look on her face, tears rolling in her eyes, and she didn't even dare to fall.

He pulled open the strip of cloth from her mouth and pinched her cheek, "Where is it hurt?"

Shen Shiqi came to his senses and looked at the dark red blood on his face and neck, and choked, "Not hurt."

It was too dark here. Lu Jiuxiao glanced at her, bent down and carried the person to the moonlight, and half-kneeled to untie the hemp ropes of her wrists and ankles.

As he expected, Duke Li's people did only use her as bait and did not mean to hurt her.

The hemp rope that tied her was extremely rough, and the little girl's hands were as tender as soft as a thorn. At this time, the broken red circle on her wrist looked particularly dazzling under the cold white moonlight.

The man pursed his lips and a sudden burst of anger emerged from his chest.

Until a few hot beads fell on the back of his hand, he came to his senses and before he could speak, he saw Chen Shiying gently holding up his right hand while crying, took out a light-colored silk handkerchief from his arms, and wrapped his palms.

She looked at his blood-stained face and neck, and then looked at the blood on his robe, and said in a slight crying voice: "Are you seriously injured?"

Lu Jiuxiao paused, looked down at him and said, "It's all other people's blood, not mine."

Chen Shiqi cried and said, "Really?"

The man curled his lips and smiled, "Do you want me to jump a few times to show you? The third girl?"

He spoke with a little injustice, which completely relieved Chen Shizi's frightened mood. She shrugged her nose and had to temporarily take back her tears.

At this time, the moon was cold and the geese passed by and returned to peace. The whole forest suddenly calmed down.

Lu Jiuxiao glanced at the quiet path behind him. He Lin should be on the way to come.

He rubbed his knuckles against the little girl's redness, "Is it better?"

He asked, was she feeling better in panic?

However, she was too intimate to remember this action, and Chen Shifeng leaned back quietly, "Yeah."

Lu Jiuxiao laughed, how could he not see her little movements?

He said, "Then let's go."

Chen Shiqi nodded and hurriedly stood up with the rocks. She stood firmly, so she took a deep breath.

Lu Jiuxiao turned around and his eyes fell on her ankle.

He threw down the words "Don't move", leaned over and reached out to touch the ankles in her silk stockings, and it swelled a lot, perhaps because the man in black blocked her and pushed it away just now.

When he was sinking, he shrank his ankles.

Looking at each other, Lu Jiuxiao squatted down with his fate and said, "Come up."

She stopped, shook her head and limped forward with a fierce look, "I don't hurt, I can walk by myself."

"You have thought about it. If that group of people comes back, I can't beat them."

Hearing this, the little girl paused for a moment.

Lu Jiuxiao curled his lips with amused expression and continued, "The wolves nearby are all human-eating."

As if it was in response to the situation, as soon as he finished speaking, a wolf howl came from the ridge, echoing continuously in the huge valley, very heartbreaking.

In the end, Chen Shixiu still obediently lay on his back.

She said in a squinting manner: "Don't use force on your right hand, it will touch the wound."

"Then hold it tighter."

Hearing this, Chen Shifeng was slow to wrap his hands tightly around his neck, and his legs subconsciously clamped a little.

Lu Jiuxiao curved his eyes silently.

Chen Shiqi held Lu Jiuxiao's sword in his hand, and was silently carried by him for a long time, and was stunned for a while at the man's side face.

After a moment, Lu Jiuxiao felt a heat in his ear. Shen Shiqi lowered his head and asked, "Have you ever cared for me like this before?"

Lu Jiuxiao stopped for a moment, and when he heard her tone, he knew that she hadn't remembered it, so he just said "hmm" and didn't say much.

Chen Shizi bit his lip, remembering his words "I love each other", he couldn't help but lower his eyes to look at his side face again.

The night breeze in the suburbs is cool, the moon is pleasant, and the cicadas and frogs make the night road look so cold.

Perhaps it was just after experiencing that danger, the quiet time at this moment soon aroused her sleepiness.

Soon, Lu Jiuxiao felt her shoulders and neck touching her chin. He stopped and looked back, and saw the little girl pecking at rice without even opening her eyes.

Lu Jiuxiao said: "Chen Shishi, go to bed, He Lin will come soon."

Hearing this, she suddenly woke up and cleared her throat guiltily.

He was injured and carried himself on his back. If she had slept for such a long way, she would have been a little conscience...

Therefore, the little girl forced herself to cheer up, "I'm not sleepy, Prince Lu, I'll talk to you."

Lu Jiuxiao chuckled, looking like she was casually.

However, after Chen Shishi said this, there was a long silence.

To her, he was just a stranger and wanted to find a topic, which was really a waste of his brain.

While thinking hard, she was bored and twisted the sword spike on the hilt of his sword, with a silver ring on his head, and a very small word engraved on the ring. She couldn't see clearly, and she touched it with her fingertips curiously.

Seeing this, Lu Jiuxiao said, "It's the word 'Chen', this sword was given to me by your elder brother."

As if she finally opened up her conversation, she paused and asked, "Why did my eldest brother give you a sword?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows, "Want to know?"

The little girl nodded.

Her understanding of He Chen was limited to the words of the He family. Apart from knowing that he died in battle five years ago, there was no more.

"It's eleven years ago."

Eleven years ago, he only arrived in Kyoto for a year, and it was the time when he first met the congratulations.

When Li Er and others were provoking him, he stole Lu Xing's sword from the Marquis's Mansion, looking like he was going to fight to the death with others.

But this is true. If He Chen hadn't passed by the alley and tried to stop him, the sword edge would have almost pierced into Li Er's throat.

A deed that is not very glorious was taken back to He's house with one hand.

Hearing this, Chen Shiqi couldn't help but widen his eyes, "What?"

Lu Jiuxiao smiled carelessly, "And..."

Then, he thought that the righteous young general would scold him coldly and then leave him alone like Lu Xing.

But he didn't, not only did he not, but he also bandaged the wound on his hand.

He said: "Lu Jiuxiao, the sword is used to protect people around you, not to kill people at will. If so, what's the difference between you and the evildoers?"

The young boy pursed his lips and said with a dark face: "He called me first, let alone the person I didn't want to protect."

Sneer, if your father doesn’t love your mother, who will he protect?

Congratulations raised his eyebrows, "There will always be."

He threw a long sword from the rack that he had not used for a long time, "Do you want me to teach you? I have the conditions, from now on, you have to listen to me."

Lu Jiuxiao held a slightly heavy sword and was reluctant to throw it back.

Hearing this, Chen Shiqi stroked the small silver ring, "So you came to save me because of my elder brother?"

Lu Jiuxiao was stunned, "No, I came here myself."

As the tribute says, there will always be.

He wanted to protect the Lu family that had protected him, and also to protect her.

He couldn't see her wronged in the hands of others, and the wrists were worn out.

...Even if he wants to bully him, he has to do it himself.

Before Shen Shiqi could think deeply about what his words "I came here myself" meant. The path in front of him suddenly became bright, and a group of people came with torches.

It was He Lin and He Luming.

Seeing the situation in front of you, the two turned over and got off the horse and walked quickly.

He Lin stared deeply at the blood on Lu Jiuxiao's body. Seeing that he could still carry her, he knew that there was no big deal. He quietly let go of his heart that was raised from afar.

Chen Shishi jumped off his back, "Dad, second brother."

She jumped forward and was supported by He Lin.

After inquiring about the injury, both father and son breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, Yin Zhong and Qin Yi arrived.

------------

The group returned to the mansion.

Outside the He family, Chen Shiqi turned around and looked at Lu Jiuxiao who was walking parallel to He Luming, and then asked the maid to help him in.

Behind him, the man slowly withdrew his gaze and said to He Luming. When he was turning around, he was stopped again.

Lu Jiuxiao paused and frowned and said, "This incident happened today because of me, and there will be no-"

"I'm not going to argue with you about right or wrong." He Luming interrupted him, "How about it, if you are not seriously injured, have a drink with me?"

Lu Jiuxiao raised his eyes suddenly and nodded for a moment.

In the He family yard, the two sat opposite each other at the stone table.

After looking at each other speechlessly, He Luming raised his glass to drink a glass of wine.

"I grew up watching you. I know all about your child's temper, good and bad. If I don't say that, I know 50% or 60% of the time."

He knew that the boy of the Lu family was so bad that he could reach the sky. After He Chen died, no one could cure him. But five years ago, even his father, in order to protect the entire He family, did not dare to seek justice for his son. No one in the court dared to speak out.

Only Lu Jiuxiao, a newborn calf, is not afraid of a tiger, and has turned Kyoto upside down. No one is allowed to say anything that is congratulatory.

He Luming sighed, "I know that Ah Ti is not your fault. If it weren't for you, it would be worse."

Lu Jiuxiao pursed his lips and lowered his head without saying a word.

"Mrs. I thought that if I don't meet a good man, the He family will support her for the rest of their lives, but no one can marry you,"

Hearing this, Lu Jiuxiao's fingertips on his knees jumped slightly, and looked up at He Luming.

He Luming smiled, "Our He family, our ancestors are loyal to the royal family from generation to generation, but my son, one died of emperor suspicion and the other was trapped in emperor suspicion, my daughter must never have any relationship with the royal bloodline."

This is why He Min was so pleased with Lu Jiuxiao before, and Cen and him refused to part with him.

However, today is different from the past.

He met the young man's ink-colored eyes, "But I know your private plan with Alin, child, have you figured it out clearly, is it worth it just for the sake of honesty? No matter what, that person is your biological father."

Looking at each other, silent for a moment.

Lu Jiuxiao said slowly: "It's not just for the sake of congratulations, but also for the Lu family. Uncle, the emperor is very suspicious and can still attack the congratulations for the military power in your hands, but my Lu family's soldiers are no less than you. Today, the emperor has temporarily given the Lu family a life because of my identity. What if he had a different idea?"

He Luming's old eyes narrowed slightly.

"What if one day he began to fear me, the prince who was leaning against Jibei and wandering outside? As long as he was in power and the Marquis' Mansion, which had royal blood, would always have to live with his head."

Isn’t the prince who is backed by the entire northern Hebei province more terrifying than a young general?

At present, Emperor Xuanwu did not have any suspicion about him because he had no position and was still living a life of money. This is why Lu Xing never took the initiative to let him become an official in the court.

After all, the emperor's heart is the most gambler.

He Luming was speechless for a long time, and then he nodded slowly for a while.

Lu Jiuxiao raised his hand and poured him a glass of wine, "The royal family has nothing to do with me. My Lu Jiuxiao will always be surnamed Lu. As for the third girl..."

His hand paused, "...If you don't stop me, I will work hard."

He Luming was amused by his words, put down his wine cup and said, "What if I stop him?"

"Then I can only do it secretly."

------------

At the hour of Hai, the galaxy rolls, and the night is like ink splashing.

In Tangyuan, Chen Shishi was sitting obediently on the soft couch, and Cen used medicinal wine to rub her swollen ankles.

Cen said with lingering fear: "There are people at the foot of this emperor. If you go out in the future, you must bring a few more people."

Chen Shishi said "um" absent-mindedly and looked out the window frequently.

Cen looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Chen Shizi bit his lip and stammered for a while and said, "I wonder if Prince Lu is seriously injured. How much is his injury today because of me..."

Cen's eyebrows jumped, comforted her a few words, and asked Tao to leave the house just before he could take care of her to sleep.

However, how can Shen Shishizhe sleep?

When she closed her eyes, the moment in front of her was the sword in Lu Jiuxiao's hand deflected in front of her, and then took the blade of the man in black with his bare hands.

She tossed and turned, and finally sat up with a whisper.

If the two of them were really in love with each other before, then it would be a bit unreasonable if she didn't ask about it now.

Who can be allowed to go?

She turned off the bed and wanted to call Taoyin, but maybe she felt guilty about "two love each other". If Taoyin was asked to go, my grandmother and her second brother would know...

After thinking about it, Chen Shishi was lying back on the couch again.
