Chapter 136 Dark Night
Chapter 136 Dark Night
No, not here either. Where have you been, Lianxin?
Rong Su frantically searched for Lianxin in Qian's house, but couldn't find her.
"What's wrong with her? Why is she barging into the room?"
"Hey! Are you looking for death?"
"Is she crazy? Why is she here acting crazy so late at night and not sleeping?"
"Butler, do you care about this or not? Why do you let this person go crazy so easily?"
A group of people pointed at Rong Su and started cursing her. There were servants, maids and boys, and some of Qian Zhang's people in the backyard were woken up, and some were even Qian Zhang's relatives.
Rong Su was in a panic and had lost control of herself. She was worried that something might happen to Lianxin. This worry was not just because of the mission.
Seeing someone about to attack her, she suddenly raised her eyes and threw a dart at high speed, which hit the wooden pillar beside her.
Many people were so frightened that they dared not approach her anymore and their expressions changed.
"She knows martial arts! Master, go and call the master, or go and call the people from the government office!"
When the housekeeper heard this, he was also very scared and was about to go out to find Master Qian, but Rong Su glanced at him sharply, and the housekeeper was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Lady, please be kind and don't embarrass us servants!"
Rong Su clenched her fists, trying to calm herself down quickly. She lowered her head and asked in a cold voice, "Have you seen the girl who couldn't speak with me? It was today."
The housekeeper was so scared of Rong Su's terrifying and cold eyes that he didn't dare to look her in the eye. He could only lower his head and answer tremblingly.
"I, I haven't seen it. I just came back from collecting the bills tonight."
Suddenly, Rong Su's voice turned even colder: "Who's on duty tonight?"
The housekeeper was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He pointed at the servant beside him and said tremblingly: "It's him! He's on duty tonight!"
When the servant saw the shopkeeper pointing at him, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees, his voice trembling, "I, I'm on night duty. Lady, the girl you mentioned, she, she went out alone at three quarters past midnight. At the time, I was curious about where she was going, so I took a closer look, and she seemed to be heading towards the mountain behind Xuancheng."
Knowing where Lianxin was going, Rong Su didn't say a word and went straight out the door and headed straight for the back mountain of Xuancheng.
After Rong Su left, the housekeeper and the servant gasped, sat on the ground and wiped the cold sweat from their sweat. Many servants and maids in the backyard also breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone thought that Rong Su was a cold-faced devil, and the look in his eyes just now was enough to scare people half to death!
I didn't know that such rumors would spread later. Now Rong Su just wants to find Lianxin as soon as possible.
As soon as she arrived at the back mountain, Rong Su got lost after just two steps because she had never been there before.
He looked around anxiously, but it was pitch black all around. Apart from the area illuminated by the tinder in his hand, he couldn't see the road clearly.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared behind her, and the voice sounded very strange.
"Miss Rong, I'll help you find the way. Just follow my lead."
Rong Su became alert: "Who are you?"
The visitor did not hide his identity and told her directly: "I am the eldest prince's man. I have been ordered to protect you."
After hearing this, Rong Su remembered Shi Tou's words. Shen Peiqing did send people to protect them.
Knowing that he was one of her own, Rong Su didn't have so many concerns and chose to trust him.
"Okay, please help me find Lian Xin!"
In the dark and quiet night, the other party replied: "Yeah."
Then, with the help of that person, she turned into many mountain paths. Just when she began to panic and worry whether Lianxin was really going to get into trouble, she heard the sound of running footsteps.
Thinking that it might be Lianxin, Rong Su quickly identified the direction and ran in that direction with a fire starter.
Finally, through a small patch of woods, she saw Lianxin running towards her. She was in a panic, and was being chased by three men in black!
Seeing this scene, Rong Su had already thrown several darts to help Lianxin dodge the long swords of the two men in black.
"Lianxin! Come here quickly!"
Lianxin seemed to have heard her voice and looked over. When she saw it was her, her eyes turned red and she ran towards her desperately.
Seeing the three men in black chasing after her relentlessly and the ferocious swords attacking Lianxin from behind, Rong Su was very worried. She threw a lot of darts and was able to barely block one or two of the attacks of the three men in black.
"Lotus heart!"
Finally, she came to Lianxin, who hugged her. Her whole body was trembling, as if she had encountered something extremely terrifying.
"Okay, I won't let anything happen to you." Rong Su comforted in a low voice, and then saw the men in black who were about to catch up.
"You should be able to deal with two of them, right?" Rong Su asked the secret guard hiding in the dark.
Without hesitation, the secret guard replied, "Sure."
Rong Su patted Lian Xin's shoulder gently, and she let go of him. Rong Su said to her calmly, "Now I need to get rid of these three guys who are in the way first. Let's go back later."
When Lianxin heard this, she couldn't help crying and felt that she was a burden, but in order not to hinder Rongsu, she nodded silently and stepped aside.
The secret guard had already led away the two men in black.
There was also a man in black staring at Rong Su and Lian Xin fiercely.
"Hehe, your opponent is not an unarmed woman, but me!" Rong Su blocked the black-clothed man's sight towards Lian Xin and looked at him with a provocative look.
The man in black said with disdain, "You're so arrogant! You just know how to throw a few hidden weapons, and you think you can fight me?"
Rong Su saw that the man in black did not take her seriously. She held three darts between her fingers and stared at the man with a stern look.
"Then you come and see if I'm qualified enough to compete with you."
Apparently her words had successfully provoked the man in black. He sneered and then nodded to the ground, raised his long sword, and attacked her head-on.
Rong Su stared at the other person's movements, but did not move much. Instead, he observed the black-clad man's whole body.
Seeing Rong Su didn't move, the other party thought she was frightened by his martial arts and sneered: "It seems that you are just a tough guy! If I don't chop your little mouth into pieces today, I won't be able to survive in the martial arts world anymore!"
The long sword with a sharp blade came towards him, and the murderous aura came with it, stirring up a gust of wind and waves. Accompanied by the bleak cold wind, it roared like a ghost in the dark night.
Just when the man in black was feeling proud and thought that his long sword was about to chop off the head of the arrogant girl in front of him, he didn't expect a shocking scene to occur.
He never expected that Rong Su would use her shoulder to block his long sword, allowing the dart to accurately pierce his chest. The hand holding the long sword trembled suddenly, and he looked at the woman in front of him with a hint of evil in disbelief.
"Are you...are you crazy?"
Rong Su curled her lips at the black-clothed man's astonishment, with a cruel and evil smile in her eyes. She threw another dart, piercing the black-clothed man's throat at close range, and streams of fishy blood gushed out from the cracks in his flesh.
"Do you know why you lost to me, someone you look down upon? Because you're not crazy enough."
At the moment when the man in black was about to cover his bleeding neck, Rong Su stretched out her fingers and gently pushed the man down. The man in black widened his eyes with unwillingness and surprise, and died just like that.
After dealing with this person, the pain in her shoulder came like a biting chill, but she could still bear this level of pain.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand, and she reflexively threw a dart at the fatal part of the man's body. When she saw that it was Lianxin, the dart stopped in mid-air, and she quickly put down the weapon.
Lianxin was not afraid at all because of her attack. She just grabbed her hand and looked at her with worried eyes: You are hurt!
Seeing what Lian Xin was worried about, Rong Su didn't care at all: "It's just a minor injury. It's okay."
After she finished speaking, she looked towards the secret guards. Seeing that two men in black had fallen to the ground in front of him, Rong Su felt a little relieved.
"Okay, let's leave this place first!"
The secret guard noticed that she was injured and hurried over to protect her on the right.
At this time, Rong Su had some free time to observe the secret guard through the fire starter.
However, the secret guard was wearing half a gray mask, so his complete face could not be seen at all.
"Want to leave? Not that easy. Do you think we only found three men in black?"
Suddenly someone appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
The leader was a woman wearing a black mask, with a seductive and fierce look in her eyes.
There were at least five or six men in black behind the woman, and each of them seemed to have some martial arts skills.
Seeing this, Rong Su knew that it might not be so easy to leave the mountain today.
The secret guard had already blocked them with a long sword, and his voice seemed a little nervous: "I will cover you, Miss Rong, you should take your men and leave quickly."
Looking at the secret guards, Rong Su thought that this was the only way. She was injured now, Lianxin didn't know any martial arts, and there were so many people on the other side. They were outnumbered and powerful, so they were obviously at a disadvantage.
"Okay. If you really can't win, wait until we're far away and then you can find a chance to escape."
The secret guard nodded seriously.
The leading woman seemed to see that they were about to run away, and immediately ordered the men in black: "We can't let them get away! The mute must be killed! As for the other woman, just keep her alive!"
When the men in black heard this, they all started rushing towards Rong Su and the others.
When the secret guard saw this, he immediately drew his sword and dodged, blocking the attack of the men in black.
"Come on!"
When Rong Su heard the secret guard's words, she didn't hesitate at all. She grabbed Lian Xin's hand and ran madly back the way she came.
There were constant screams and the sound of swords clashing from behind, which were intense and terrifying.
The leading woman saw the man running away and cursed inwardly, "Damn it! Did you think I would let you take him away so easily?"
While the men in black were fighting the secret guards, the woman had already quietly gone after Rong Su and the others.
The secret guard also saw it, but he was so busy that he could only speed up to deal with the man in black in front of him and then go to rescue Rong Su.
The wound on the shoulder seemed to have opened a lot more, and the blood flowing out was also increasing. Rong Su could feel that her body was starting to feel a little light, which seemed to be caused by excessive bleeding.
But she knew she couldn't stop. Once she stopped, the consequences would be unimaginable and Lianxin would definitely die.
"Ho...ho..."
It's terrible that my body is so overwhelmed!
Rong Su gritted her teeth, her vision actually starting to become a little blurry. If she hadn't been trying to maintain her rationality, she would have collapsed long ago.
"Run? Let's see where you can run!"
Oh no! Someone is catching up!
Realizing someone was coming, she looked around quickly and saw a low bush. She pulled Lianxin into it and hid there together.
Lianxin cried worriedly, looked at her, and reached out her hand to cover the bleeding from her wound.
Rong Su smiled at her helplessly and shook her head, trying to tell her not to worry about her, but the more she did this, the more Lian Xin blamed herself.
He gestured to Rong Su: "I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been hurt. I believed what others said, thinking that as long as I came to the back mountain, they would keep their promise and not embarrass you. But they lied to me. Not only did they want to kill me, they also wanted to kill your friend."
Looking at Lianxin's gesture, Rong Su's heart sank. Sure enough, the woman did it on purpose. Because she saved Lianxin, her position was threatened. Then, not only did she want Lianxin's life, she also wanted to warn her through Gu Yun.
"Haha, you thought I wouldn't notice you just because you were hiding? Two rats as dirty as a gutter, actually want to covet the position of princess? This is ridiculous! Today, I will make sure you understand that not everything can be coveted casually!"
The woman outside kept searching for them nearby and even used words to provoke them, trying to anger them and lure them out.
This woman was also a martial artist. Rong Su stared at the few darts in her hand, only two.
"Oh! Are the mice here—"
The woman seemed to be deliberately teasing them as she shouted to the other side, her voice dragging out in a way that was too creepy in the dark and quiet night.
Lianxin was obviously frightened, and her squatting body trembled slightly.
Seeing her reaction, Rong Su reached out and held her hand to comfort her, and then thought about how to win the battle.
He glanced sideways at Lianxin beside him, then called out the reader with his mouth.
"As long as I don't die, everything will be fine, right?"
The reader understood what she meant and popped up a response to her.
[Xiaozhu: As long as the host is alive, everything will be fine and the mission will continue. But host, are you going to do something crazy again?]
This was the first time that the reader assistant asked her this kind of question, and Rong Su remained silent without answering.
Xiaozhu really couldn't bear to watch it anymore. This host was a desperate person. She was afraid that the world would not be repaired yet, and she would lose her life first, and then she would not be able to repair the world.
Rong Su had his own plan in mind. Some chances of survival were fought for in danger, and taking risks was inevitable.
"Lianxin, I'll lead that woman away later. You run as fast as you can, as far as you can. Run back to the Qian residence and find Qian Zhang. Let Qian Zhang protect your safety!"
Lian Xin cried and shook her head: "No! What about you? If I leave, will you die?"
Rong Su patted the back of Lian Xin's hand, looked at her seriously and whispered, "Didn't you hear what that person said? They only want your life, I won't die."
"Don't dawdle any longer, or we'll all die."
At Rong Su's urging, Lianxin cried and bit her lip, and then she could only listen to Rong Su. After Rong Su used a dart to lure the woman away, she ran out desperately, thinking in her heart that she must find Master Qian to save Sister Rong!
