The man raised his arm and stabbed the dagger towards her face. But before the tip of the sword could touch Nangong Xue's face, a man jumped down from a nearby tree and attacked with his sword, forcing the man away. At the same time, he turned around and shouted, "Xueer, leave quickly. I'll deal with this!"
Nangong Xue was surprised and asked, "Martial Brother? How can it be you? "Before Li Yijie could answer, the man shouted again. Li Yijie's sword slashed at the man's wrist and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang. Li Yijie swept the tip of his foot and kicked the dagger away. The man hurriedly begged for mercy, "Hero, please spare my life! Hero, please spare my life! I was forced to do this by the Seven Evil Spirits! "Li Yijie shouted," Get out of here! I'll spare your life! "
Nangong Xue felt that the two men's tone was stiff and their expressions were strange. Moreover, they were so direct and efficient that it didn't seem like her martial brother's way of doing things. On the other hand, she felt that this scene was very familiar and had a guess in her heart. She didn't say anything and just watched the situation unfold.
The man said, "Yes, yes. Thank you for sparing my life, Hero! I'll definitely turn over a new leaf! " He was about to leave when he suddenly lowered his body and pulled out a dagger from his boot with his other hand and pointed it at Nangong Xue's throat. He screamed, "Drop your sword! Or I'll kill this woman! "
Li Yijie hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, don't hurt her! Okay, okay, I won't move. "He opened his hand and the sword fell to the ground with a clang. A sinister smile appeared on the man's face and he shouted, "Die!" He suddenly raised the dagger and stabbed towards Li Yijie.
Li Yijie cried out in alarm and rolled on the ground, but a lock of his hair was still cut off. The man said, "My Lord has ordered us to kill them all, so we'll start with her." He turned the dagger around, raised his wrist high, and then stabbed down heavily at Nangong Xue. Nangong Xue didn't even try to evade. She looked on helplessly as Li Yijie threw himself in front of her and spread his arms to protect her. "Xueer," he called out, "don't worry about me. Run!" Nangong Xue sneered. She was waiting for the dagger to pierce Li Yijie's chest and draw a string of blood.
At this critical moment, an unexpected change occurred in the battlefield. Another man descended from the sky and shouted, "Don't be so savage, demon!" His long whip coiled around the man, "Ah!" he cried out miserably and fell to the ground. Lu Qian hurriedly supported Li Yijie and said, "Brother Li, are you okay? Forgive me for being late. "Li Yijie's face was full of astonishment. He didn't understand how this play had turned out to be so out of the ordinary.
Lu Qian didn't pay any more attention to him. He turned his finger and pointed at the masked man on the ground, who was wriggling like a worm. He waved his whip in an imposing manner and said loudly, "Go back and tell your master that I, Lu Qian, will protect Xueer. Nobody can lay a finger on her in front of me! The Seven Demons bastards were defeated by me. If you dare to be savage again, don't blame me for being impolite. Scram! "The masked man repeatedly said," Thank you very much, Great Hero! "and then scrambled away.
Lu Qian clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Good!" Li Yijie was confused and said in a low voice, "Brother Lu Qian, what are you trying to do?" Lu Qian laughed and said, "Don't think you can hide it from me. Xueer still has feelings for you. It's just that she feels that you've neglected her too much. That's why she's throwing a tantrum with you. If you get hurt because of her this time, she'll definitely follow you wholeheartedly. What will I have to do then? "Li Yijie said anxiously," But in this scene, there's clearly only one person involved … "
Lu Qian laughed coldly and said, "You're so stubborn! Rules are set by people, but they can also be changed by people. Think about it, if you're seriously injured and can't fight anymore, that person can quickly recover and come back to kill Xueer. Only someone like me can be considered to have really saved the two of you. I've really helped you … "Li Yijie said," Since we're both heroes, why can't I be the hero? When Xuan Shuang mentioned it, he didn't say anything about this … "
While the two of them were arguing with each other, suddenly there was a burst of applause behind them. Nangong Xue sneered and walked forward. She said, "Are you done with your performance?" There was no gratitude in her eyes, only ridicule.
Lu Qian swaggered forward to take credit. He said, "Xueer, that kid overestimated himself. He actually wanted to harm you. I've dealt with him. Beat him up so badly that he won't dare to cause trouble again! "Actually, the more he talked, the better to distract her so that he could cover up his slip of the tongue.
Nangong Xue laughed coldly and said, "Continue singing! Keep singing. Should I kneel on the ground and kowtow to you a few times to repay your great kindness? "Lu Qian laughed and said," That's not necessary. If you really want to repay me, why don't you … give yourself to me? "
Li Yijie had been with Nangong Xue for a long time, so he understood her temperament. He knew that if she threw a tantrum, although he would inevitably be scolded badly on the spot, her anger would quickly dissipate. What he feared the most was that there was a knife hidden behind a smile. He quickly pushed Lu Qian away and wanted to explain further. At least he shouldn't make things worse. He said in a low voice, "Xueer, that person just now …"
Nangong Xue continued, "He was in cahoots with you from the beginning. Yes, I know. "
Li Yijie was shocked. He said, "No … no …" Nangong Xue laughed coldly and said, "That situation just now, even a three-year-old child could see it. Even the lines were from storytellers. You dare to use them to embarrass yourself? "Lu Qian saw the wind and quickly said," We don't have any bad intentions. We just want to make you happy. We also want to prove to you that no matter when or where, we will always protect you. "
Nangong Xue said, "When did I say that I was afraid of the Seven Malevolent Demons? There's no need for you to do this. How can I, Nangong Xue, deserve the love of two important people? Am I worthy of your protection? The only reason I married Yuan Gongzi was to live a peaceful life. I don't want to see you stir up any more trouble. The two of you better not appear in front of me again! "
Lu Qian wanted to argue, but Li Yijie was thinking further ahead. If Nangong Xue believed that the assassin incident was a plot by the two of them, and if she didn't know how to avoid it in the future, she might really run into the assassins sent by Jiang Liechen. Then it would be this plot that caused her to suffer. He quickly said, "Xueer, I'm sorry. I promise you that today's incident will never happen again. You — — we won't be by your side, so you must remember to take good care of yourself. "He first explained the key points to Nangong Xue, so that she would know how to be careful in the future. He didn't want to listen to her cold words anymore, so he quickly pulled Lu Qian away.
After that day, all kinds of schemes revolved around Nangong Xue, fighting to be the first to appear. Who knows how many "surprises" they created for her, and how much trouble they caused. Nangong Xue's attitude changed from her initial dislike to a bit of anticipation. She wanted to see what kind of tricks the two of them could play, but on the surface, she refused to let go. Every time, she would just scold them. However, the two of them persevered. The more setbacks they faced, the braver they became. Nangong Xue couldn't do anything about it.
That day, Li Yijie and Lu Qian came to visit as usual. As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, Li Yijie said, "This courtyard is big. It just so happens that I've been practicing a new set of swordsmanship. I'd like the two of you to evaluate it."
Nangong Xue thought, "Your lies are getting worse and worse. Isn't the martial arts field in the palace much bigger than my courtyard? Is there a need to show off in front of me? Humph, the more you want to show off, the more I won't give you face. "She calmly said," The two of you can go practice. I can't stand the glint of swords. As long as you don't make a mess of the flower garden, I'll thank the heavens and the earth. "
Li Yijie was halfway through drawing her sword when she heard Nangong Xue's signal to leave. She panicked and stood there, not knowing what to do. Lu Qian giggled and pulled Nangong Xue back, saying, "What's wrong? You're Huashan Sect's Nangong Nu Xia, so you can't stand the glint of swords? Right now, you're not pretending to be Xia Shengxun, the daughter of a noble family. "
Nangong Xue's face reddened. So after pretending to be someone else for a long time, even if that person didn't exist in the first place, her speech habits would unknowingly become similar. She argued, "I want to pretend to be whoever I want. That's my freedom. It's not up to you to interfere."
Lu Qian laughed, "Good, good. However, other people can ignore this set of swordsmanship, but you have to. Because this set of swordsmanship was specially created for you by Brother Li and is being practiced for you. If you continue to ignore it, you'll be wasting his painstaking efforts. "
Nangong Xue sneered, "He's just a martial arts fanatic, why would he care so much about it? It's not like he's going to force me to marry him, right? "Li Yijie scratched his head and stammered. Nangong Xue suddenly raised her voice, saying, "Hey, are you going to practice or not? If you keep putting on airs, I'm leaving. "
Li Yijie hurriedly said, "Okay, okay. Don't be impatient, don't be impatient." He drew his sword completely and held it horizontally in front of his eyes, watching the cold light reflected off the blade. With a clear whistle, he suddenly brandished the sword. The tip of the sword spun as he wished, moving nimbly and freely. However, based on the swordsmanship alone, there wasn't anything special about it.
