Lu Chen covered her mouth and was about to cry.
Zhong Gui seemed to feel that her tone was too stiff and cold, so she changed her tone to a softer one. Ignoring the blood spurting from her neck due to the accumulation of power, she said gently, "This Xu Lang, of all times, appeared when you and I were in trouble. He is most likely a bandit who is in cahoots with the Horse Gang and has the intention of casting a long line to catch a big fish. Miss Lu, you are inexperienced and don't know the dangers of Jianghu. Most of these desperadoes are extremely cunning and their skills are not inferior to the foxes in the officialdom. To say the least, we would rather kill by mistake than let him go by mistake."
Zhong Gui saw that she still had lingering fear. Her limpid eyes were filled with sorrow and a trace of wariness. She said softly, "If I die here, what will you do? I don't want to die. Even if I die, I have to send you home. "
Lu Chen's tears suddenly flowed out of her eyes and she threw herself into Zhong Gui's arms. She was no longer as worried about the life and death of Xu Lang as she was when she first met him.
Between life and death, they shared trials and tribulations together. Women who were used to a rich and leisurely life might not like to help each other in difficult times. However, how many people could withstand such a scene and such words engraved in their hearts by Zhong Gui? Just a few words were already far more effective than the sweet nothings that could be said in a peaceful and stable time.
Zhong Gui hugged her delicate body and sneered, her eyes indifferent.
Obviously, this descendant of the Zhong family who repaid kindness with enmity was good at martial arts. His ability to pick flowers was also profound.
However, this warm scene was interrupted by a few coughs. For the first time since meeting Xu Lang, Zhong Gui showed fear.
Hsu Fengnian stood up and patted his sleeves, murmuring, "It's tiring to be a good person. No wonder there are so many devils in Beimang."
Seeing the expressionless man carrying a box and a sword walking over, Zhong Gui forced a smile and said guiltily, "Young Master Xu, please don't be offended. It's my fault for acting so abruptly. It's just that Zhong Gui's identity is sensitive and I can't let my guard down when I travel outside."
Zhong Gui saw that the person was calm and did not even have a mocking expression. He knew that something was wrong and hurriedly tried to make up for it. "My name is Zhong Gui, a descendant of the Zhong family of the Southern Dynasty. I can make up for it and give Young Master Xu a great fortune. Young Master, your skills are outstanding. With the support of my Zhong family, you will definitely have a meteoric rise!"
As he spoke, Zhong Gui grabbed the iron chain with one hand.
He wouldn't shed tears until he saw the coffin.
Hsu Fengnian finally rewarded him with a smile. "Come, let's see if you can kill me again."
At this moment, Zhong Gui could neither make a move nor let go. Ever since he was born, this kind of shame and resentment was unbearable. It was only slightly better than being dragged by five horses just now.
Zhong Gui was lucky to return to the world of the living from the netherworld while Lu Chen fell from the world of the living to the netherworld. She sat aside blankly, her heart cold as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
Hsu Fengnian drew a circle with one hand and slapped it on Zhong Gui's head. Zhong Gui sank into the ground and his head and limbs exploded at the same time. It was as if someone had smashed him into a meat patty with a sledgehammer. It was more miserable than being torn apart by five horses.
A celestial being patted the head.
It was not only used to tie hair and receive immortality.
Fresh blood splattered all over Lu Chen's body, but she just stared blankly and remained indifferent.
She was simple, but she was not stupid.
It was almost the talent of the children of big clans to know the big picture from small details.
Hsu Fengnian was about to draw another circle and let Lu Chen and Zhong Gui die together as a pair of lovebirds. She suddenly raised her head and asked, "I want to know if you are in cahoots with the Horse Gang. I beg you, don't lie to me."
Hsu Fengnian shook his head.
Her heart finally died like ashes and she waited calmly.
Hsu Fengnian did not show any mercy to the fairer sex and continued to raise his hand like an immortal caressing her head. However, she was disturbed once again. She suddenly burst into heart-wrenching sobs, "I don't want to die!"
Hsu Fengnian walked over. After taking a few steps, she sat on the ground and slid back a few steps. Hsu Fengnian did not move forward. He squatted down and stretched out his hand, "Give me back the porcelain bottle."
She threw out the small bottle as if it was scalding her hand. In her panic, she did not throw it accurately. Hsu Fengnian reached out and caught it. He controlled the bottle and placed it back into the box.
Lu Chen seemed to have accumulated twenty years of shrewdness in an instant. Her voice trembled as she said, "Young Master Xu, how can you not kill me? I am the legitimate granddaughter of the Southern Dynasty's First Lu Family. I am different from Zhong Gui. I don't have any ambitions. I just want to live a good life. After I get married, I will help my husband and teach my children. As long as you don't kill me and don't sully my body, I am willing to be your slave for half a year. Moreover, I promise that when I return to the Lu Family, I will not mention a word about what happened today. I will only say that Zhong Gui died in the hands of a hundred Horse Gang. "
Looking at the man who looked like a scholar curling up the corner of his lips with a hint of mockery, Lu Chen realized that he had made a mistake and immediately corrected himself, "I only said that Zhong Gui had died on the way to the Magistrate's Mansion in the Xihe Region. I didn't know anything about it!"
At this point, her eyes rippled and sparkled with determination. She bit her lips and said slowly, "If you don't kill me, I'll say that I've had sex with Zhong Gui. If the Zhong family doesn't believe me, they can get the old maid to check my body. They won't be able to find any flaws."
Any man would understand what she meant. She was willing to pay the price of her virginity in exchange for her life.
Hsu Fengnian clicked his tongue and lamented that the human heart was higher than the heavens.
Lu Chen saw that he had no intention of killing her. She reached out and stroked a strand of messy hair on her temples and continued, "I don't dare to hope that you will return to the Lu Family with me. However, since you have something on me and my Lu Family has a good reputation in the Southern Dynasty, I will not allow such a big scandal to spread. I also don't want to provoke the Zhong Family because of this. Therefore, you don't have to worry about me not being obedient to you. You only need to involve me from afar. I am willing to be your marionette. I believe that with your outstanding skills and wisdom, you will be able to find a way to control me and not get into danger."
Hsu Fengnian wanted to take out some dates but found that his bag was empty. He retracted his hand and said with a smile, "You are very smart. How can you be fooled by Zhong Gui, a rich playboy?"
Lu Chen actually had the courage to laugh and said self-mockingly, "It's not that Zhong Gui is good. It's just that the Zhong Family's background is better than the Lu Family's. Otherwise, how can a younger brother of a side branch family be said to be a match for a granddaughter of the first branch family? "
Hsu Fengnian nodded his head in deep agreement. She was indeed a woman from a rich and powerful family with the roots of wisdom.
Lu Chen's eyes instantly turned cold. She gritted her teeth and said, "You still want to kill me!"
Hsu Fengnian, who had just had the urge to kill, asked curiously, "A woman's intuition?"
She asked back, "Isn't it?"
Without waiting for Hsu Fengnian to make a move, Lu Chen stood up and charged at him like a madwoman. She was seeking her own death. She punched and kicked without any rhyme or reason and cried pitifully, "You bastard! Great demon! I'll fight it out with you!"
She nagged and scolded him as if she was beating him up. Over and over again, she only used a few old-fashioned methods that didn't hurt him at all.
Hsu Fengnian sent her flying with a slap. She was immediately stunned. He looked at the crazy woman who was covering her face and said, "Whether I kill you or not depends on your performance. Bury Zhong Gui first and then follow me to the hinterland of Xihe Region. I need you."
Lu Chen's eyes lit up as if she had just been pardoned. She glanced at Zhong Gui's mangled corpse and laughed coldly, "It's better if I don't collect the corpse."
She immediately received another slap on her face. She flipped over and fell heavily onto the yellow sand like a grey sparrow.
Hsu Fengnian mocked, "Men are cold-blooded. Who knows, they might even be ambitious and ruthless. You're just a woman. Is it very likable for you to be so heartless?"
Lu Chen lowered her head. Both her cheeks had been slapped. She was frightened and meek as she said, "I know I'm wrong."
Xu Fengnian used his' Immortal Touching the Top 'to create a big pit, which he used as Zhong Gui's grave. He watched her move the pile of flesh and blood into the pit bit by bit. He asked her about the Zhong Family and the Lu Family. She answered him one by one, without the slightest bit of falsehood.
She asked carefully in between, "Was it Young Master who killed those Horse Gang?"
Hsu Fengnian didn't say anything. He just patiently watched her pick up the soil and cover it up. After filling it up, she didn't forget to jump and step on it to make it less obvious. After she calmed down, she tilted her head and asked, "Zhong Gui, Zhong Gui. Young Master, do you think a cassia tree will grow here in the future? "
Hsu Fengnian scolded, "You're sick in the head."
The woman covered in blood curtsied and curtsied charmingly. She smiled and said, "Please save me, Young Master."
Hsu Fengnian twitched the corner of his mouth. "You're really sick in the head. You've lost your mind. There's no saving you."
The woman stood alone on the grave. Her smiling face was sad but beautiful.
