When the four people appeared, Xu Zizhen couldn't help but tensed up. He stepped in front of Li Luoyan, but before he could speak, he was stunned when he heard these words. When he looked back, he saw Li Luoyan's expression.
He was calm and didn't seem nervous at all.
He asked in a low voice: "Do you know him?"
A touch of emotion flashed in Li Luoyan's eyes, she glanced at him faintly, and whispered: "Brother Xu, don't worry, they are not bad people." Then he said coldly to the person: "I am no longer your lady, why are you still looking for me?
I?"
The man glanced at Xu Zizhen, hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "The master has recently found out that the incident four years ago has nothing to do with Madam, so..."
Li Luoyan's emotions suddenly became excited, his voice rose sharply, and he said sternly: "So what? Can my mother be alive again? If he hadn't trusted that woman back then, how could he have caused my mother to die in vain?"
The man's expression did not change, he still lowered his head and said: "Master asked us to tell the lady that what happened back then was caused by the master being confused for a moment. As long as the lady hates him and annoys him, please go back and see the master."
Li Luoyan held his hands tightly and said stubbornly: "I won't go! I will never see him in this life!"
The man suddenly knelt down on one leg and said in a deep voice: "I am afraid that the young lady has misunderstood the master. The master was also deceived by others back then. Moreover, the death of the madam had nothing to do with the master, and the matter has been found out."
Li Luoyan suddenly stopped in his sorrowful voice, stared at the man and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with him? If he hadn't pressed hard back then, how could my mother have committed suicide?"
The man shook his head: "My wife seemed to have committed suicide, but in fact she was assassinated, pretending to be a suicide."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue. Li Luoyan was stunned for a moment. He clenched his fists tighter and tighter, and even when his nails were embedded in his flesh, he felt no pain at all. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Is it a woman named Xiao?
"
The man said: "Exactly!" He paused and then said, "It's just that in recent years she has secretly arranged a lot of forces, and even the master did not dare to touch her easily, so the master asked his subordinates to tell the lady to go back quickly.
First of all, the master really misses the young lady, and secondly... Mrs. Xiao may have learned about the young lady's whereabouts, and the master is worried that she will be harmful to the young lady."
Xu Zizhen was confused when he heard this, and glanced at Li Sheng inexplicably, but saw that Li Sheng happened to wake up leisurely, and slowly sat up with his hand on his head. As soon as he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw Li Luoyan beside him.
The four people suddenly stood up in excitement, looked at the man in shock and said, "Brother Yu Qi? How did you find yourself here?"
Yu Qi was still kneeling on one knee, not raising his head or answering. Li Luoyan's eyes were full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It was his order to take me back, saying that my mother's injustice has been made clear, and... and I
My mother was assassinated by a woman named Xiao."
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She looked at Yu Qi and said sternly: "I will never go back. If her surnamed Xiao wants to kill me, just come and kill her!"
Yu Qi said in a deep voice: "Miss, why are you doing this? The master is my father after all."
The more Xu Zizhen listened, the more confused he became. Li Luoyan's father? Isn't Li Sheng her father? What kind of debt is this? The grudges of a wealthy family? His biological father and stepfather?
Li Sheng's expression gradually became solemn, and after thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said to Li Luoyan: "Miss, in my humble opinion, it would be better for you to go back. Mrs. Xiao's methods are vicious, and I am afraid that the only way for Miss to seek revenge is to return to her master."
Before Li Luoyan could say anything more, there was suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps outside the temple, and then more than a dozen people rushed in from all directions on the doors, windows, and roofs. They were all wearing black scarves and holding steel knives. They killed Li Sheng, his daughter, and Yu Qi.
The four people and Xu Zizhen surrounded them, their swords gleaming and sharp.
Yu Qi had already jumped up, and with the other three people, their backs were facing Li Luoyan to protect her, and he shouted sternly: "Who is it?"
A tall and thin man emerged from the crowd and said with a sinister smile: "You can't find anywhere after wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here. Madam really has a clever plan. If you follow you, you can find the eldest lady. It really saved me a lot."
Hands and feet.”
Yu Qi's pupils shrank suddenly and he sneered: "Is it really Mrs. Xiao? Huh! It's just that you guys are not qualified enough, right?"
The tall and thin man looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha! You really think you are a person. Whether you are qualified or not, you just have to give it a try!" After saying this, his laughter suddenly stopped and he said solemnly, "No one will be left behind!" Behind him
The dozen or so masked men responded in unison and rushed towards them with their swords swung.
"How dare you!" Yu Qi shouted, and the three companions rushed out quickly to meet the dozen people. Not long after Li Sheng woke up, he also rushed forward with his fists empty. Only Yu Qi was still protecting him.
Li Luoyan was confronting the tall and thin man.
Xu Zizhen wanted to help, but didn't know where to start. Yu Qi's three companions were extremely skilled. Their swords were as bright as lightning and they struck at the enemy's vital points. Li Sheng also roared with iron fists like the wind and glared with majestic eyes. The four of them were
Against those dozen people, he didn't lose at all.
When Yu Qi saw that his side had taken control of the situation on the field, he was immediately reassured and glanced sideways at Xu Zizhen.
Xu Zizhen understood immediately, nodded and pulled Li Luoyan behind him to block it. At the same time, he took out the knife given by Wu Song from the bag, held it behind his elbow, and watched the battle warily.
A hint of gratitude flashed in Yu Qi's eyes, and he nodded to Xu Zizhen. He suddenly shouted and rushed towards the tall and thin man. He didn't see how he moved. Suddenly, a long sword with cold light appeared in his hand. It was as dexterous and swift as
A poisonous snake went straight to the tall and thin man.
The tall and thin man sneered: "Do you think you're sure to win?" Suddenly he put his finger into his mouth and whistled. As the whistle sounded, a dozen more masked men suddenly rushed outside the door.
Yu Qi was shocked. He could see that these masked men were very skilled. Although he and his three companions were taller than them, even if Li Sheng was added, they could still win with four against a dozen. But if the opponent came again,
Ten, then the result would probably be completely reversed.
It's just that the arrow has left the string and cannot be turned back. The only thing that can be done now is to fight quickly. The tall and thin man is obviously the leader of these masked men. As long as he is dealt with, the others will naturally be defeated in one blow. Yu Qi made up his mind and gritted his teeth and attacked fiercely.
He went up and put on a life-saving posture.
Sure enough, with the addition of the dozen or so people, the pressure on Yu Qi's three companions suddenly increased greatly. However, after half a cup of tea, there were gradually signs of exhaustion. Li Sheng was even more disadvantaged with his hands empty, and could hardly cause any harm to the opponent.
On the contrary, he was forced to retreat step by step, unable to resist.
Suddenly there was a muffled groan, and one of Yu Qi's companions was accidentally stabbed in the throat with a knife. He died immediately, while the other companion was also struck in the shoulder by a knife in surprise, and one arm was cut straight on the ground.
