ugly man

It was the first time in his life that he drank too much alcohol, Lu Nanzhu fell asleep until noon the next day.

But that's good too, it gave Xia Qinyi enough time to adjust herself.

When she woke up, she felt her body was limp and her temples were tingling.

"You're awake~"

Just as Lu Nanzhu sat up, a glass of warm water was handed to her.

Glancing at the other party, he took a drink from the water glass and said with a smile, "Qin Yi, you seem to be in a good mood today?"

Xia Qinyi pursed her lips and smiled, and replied, "Well, very good."

"Is there anything good?"

Xia Qinyi smiled mysteriously: "You were talking in your sleep last night."

"Ah? What did I say?"

"Don't tell you."

When the tingling pain came, Lu Nanzhu cracked his mouth and pressed his temple.

Xia Qinyi sat by the bed and massaged Lu Nanzhu.

"Don't drink too much in the future, does it still hurt?"

"Well, it doesn't hurt anymore. Actually, yesterday was the first time I drank alcohol. I didn't want to drink it at first, but the guy said it was so tempting, so I couldn't hold back."

Xia Qinyi smiled and loosened her shoulders for Lu Nanzhu, and said softly: "The porridge is warming in the kitchen, I'll bring it over, you can wash up first."

"it is good."

After lunch, the two went to Xuzhou's market for a stroll. This place can't be compared with Fanli City. At sunset, the streets are deserted.

Lu Nanzhu glanced at the dark alley, hooked the corners of his mouth, and whispered something in Xia Qinyi's ear.

Xia Qinyi's eyes widened: "Could it be...?"

"Don't worry, we're just ordinary thieves. Besides, we're both dressed up like this. Who would recognize us? This Jianghu is so big. As long as we don't take the initiative to show up, they're looking for a needle in a haystack."

Xia Qinyi breathed a sigh of relief: "What are you going to do?"

"Let's go back to the inn first. There are too many people on this street, so it's inconvenient to go into it. Take a good rest tonight, pack up your things and set off tomorrow."

"it is good."

Xia Qinyi left with Lu Nanzhu's arm on her arm. Lu Nanzhu kept paying attention to the movement behind him, and the other party followed furtively until he watched the two enter the inn before leaving.

Lu Nanzhu remembered: Back then, those people even used beggars on the street in order to find the ugly man, but suddenly there were more people following him, and she had to be wary.

After dinner and washing up, Lu Nanzhu took the wooden box, took out the Canglong sword and put it on the footrest in front of the bed.

"Xiaolu, you are..."

"Don't be nervous. Just in case is always good. No matter how successful the disguise is, it's not safe. When you arrive in Bingzhou, it's safer to buy a mask. Sleep well and leave tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

That night, nothing that worried Xia Lu and the two of them happened. They checked out early in the morning, Lu Nanzhu loaded the carriage outside, and Xia Qinyi paid at the counter.

Seeing her generosity, the shopkeeper reminded: "Madam, if you go out of the city, don't go through the north gate."

"Dare to ask the shopkeeper, can you tell me the reason?"

"It's not a secret. A group of rogues came from the mountain in the north. They ruled the mountain there and did nothing wrong with Xuzhou City. But it's hard to say about the business travelers passing by there. I see you have a lot of luggage. Driving a carriage, I don’t know how skilled that master is, if you are going out, safety is the most important thing, I’d rather go the same way and choose another city gate.”

"Understood, thank you."

"Ma'am, you are welcome. Next time you pass by Xuzhou, you should visit the shop."

"It's natural."

Lu Nanzhu helped Xia Qinyi into the carriage and asked, "What did the shopkeeper say?"

"He said that there was a group of rogues on the mountain outside the northern city, reminding us that if we go north, we should take a detour."

Yesterday's stalking incident made Lu Nanzhu a little uneasy. Bingzhou is in the north, and it takes two or three days to take a detour. She is not afraid of any bandits, but she still consulted Xia Qinyi.

After hearing Lu Nanzhu's thoughts, Xia Qinyi thought for a moment and said, "Then don't take a detour."

Then he leaned into Lu Nanzhu's ear and continued: "The famous ugly man, can't he deal with a few rogues?"

Lu Nanzhu laughed, pulled the reins, and waved the whip in his hand: "Drive!"

She felt that Xia Qinyi seemed to be a little different since she was drunk. Although she was smiling before, it was not difficult to see the melancholy in her eyes.

In the past few days, it seemed as if he had returned to the past, and the carefree Xia Qinyi had returned.

Lu Nanzhu really wanted to ask, what made Xia Qinyi change, and she had to thank her!

As soon as the carriage turned the corner, it was immediately followed by two people.

"Third brother, here we come!"

The man who was called the third brother spat and got on his horse: "What a coincidence, they are going to the north gate. Go ahead and tell the brothers to get ready, and I will watch from behind."

"Yes!"

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Lu Nanzhu touched the Canglong Sword hidden behind the curtain of the car. Seeing Xia Qinyi's nervous expression, he patted the opponent's leg and comforted him: "It's okay, I have everything to do with me."

Fortunately, the opponent's horse quickly overtook their carriage, and ran towards the city gate without looking back.

Lu Nanzhu let go of the Canglong sword and smiled at Xia Qinyi.

He noticed that there was another person behind him, keeping a close distance from the carriage.

A sternness flashed in Lu Nanzhu's eyes, after experiencing so many things, she no longer has a good impression of the so-called "famous and decent".

If their outfits were exposed, no matter how many people there were, she planned to silence them forever.

Anyway, a lot of people have been killed, and it doesn't matter if there are more.

She and Xia Qinyi had never committed any serious crimes, nor did they have any intention of harming others, but these people relentlessly wanted to put them to death.

When she carried the unconscious Xia Qinyi through the Forest of No Return with the determination to die, she had already figured it out. If she survived, no one could hurt a single hair in her arms.

Soon, the carriage drove out of the North City Gate in the morning light.

After walking about ten miles, Lu Nanzhu grabbed the hilt of the Canglong Sword.

"Qin Yi, go back to the carriage and rest for a while."

Xia Qinyi nodded, and turned back into the carriage.

The man behind the carriage suddenly accelerated, overtook the carriage, and blew the bamboo flute.

From behind the boulder, in the woods, a group of people came out, more than 20 people, each with weapons in their hands.

Lu Nanzhu pulled the rein, and the horse neighed and stopped.

She looked around, but didn't see enough masters to make him vigilant. Although there were many people on the other side, they only had a tall and big skin. Judging from their footsteps and limbs, they were all three-legged cats.

Lu Nanzhu let go of the handle of the Canglong sword, and comforted him through the curtain of the car: "It's nothing, just an ordinary bandit."

After speaking, he jumped down with the whip in hand.

"What advice do you guys have?"

The man who was following Lu Nanzhu rode forward, waved the machete in his hand, and replied loudly: "I can't talk about advice, it's just that our brothers are a little tight recently and want to borrow some money to spend."

"The robbery?"

"Hahahahaha, that's right, boy, if you are sensible, you should obediently leave the carriage and the contents inside. Third Master, I am in a good mood today. Your mother-in-law is sick. Third Master, I don't want it. I can let you two leave. "

Lu Nanzhu squinted his eyes, snorted coldly, and walked towards the other party with a whip.

The thieves were slightly taken aback, seeing that Lu Nanzhu was unarmed and thin, they didn't care, some even smiled and waited to see what she was going to do.

Walking to the horse, without waiting for the other party to speak, Lu Nanzhu suddenly swung the whip in his hand and wrapped it around the other's calf. With a light pull, the man flew off the horse's back and fell on Lu Nanzhu's body. behind.

"Three masters!"

The thieves rushed up brandishing their weapons, but Lu Nanzhu just glanced at him lightly, and left his entire back to the opponent.

She walked up to the third master, stepped heavily on the other's chest, only heard a few crisp "clicks", the third master's eyes went dark, and he let out a hysterical scream.

Lu Nanzhu rolled his feet and said in a cold voice, "Tell them not to move."

The third master grasped Lu Nanzhu's ankle with both hands, and pushed up with all his strength, but found that Lu Nanzhu didn't move at all.

He knew some kung fu, knew that today he met a master, so he yelled in pain: "Don't move!"

The bandits had already rushed in front of them, but Lu Nanzhu didn't even look back, stepped on the bandits, and looked down at him.

Seeing the other party's icy eyes, San Dangjia shuddered, and the obvious murderous aura made him instinctively afraid.

"Good man, good man spare your life, good man!"

"Say, who sent you here!"

"Good man, good man, take it easy, I'm going to die."

Xia Qinyi saw the whole process through the gap in the curtain of the carriage, and saw that Lu Nanzhu had subdued the leader of the opponent and jumped off the carriage.

"Good man, sir! I don't understand, you little one!"

A murderous intent flashed in Lu Nanzhu's eyes, but he heard Xia Qinyi's call: "Xiaolu!"

She hesitated for a moment, and put down the whip in her hand.

"I'll ask you again, who sent you here!"

"Cough cough cough, sir, no one, no one sent us here! The day before yesterday, my brother and I went to Xuzhou City to hold a tooth festival. We saw you and your wife spending a lot of money, and the packages were bulging, so we set our sights on the two of you. Spend some money, you show your hands high, sir!"

Xia Qinyi recognized that the third master was also a guest of Fumanlou that day, and nodded to Lu Nanzhu.

Seeing this, Lu Nanzhu heaved a sigh of relief, but did not intend to let the other party go.

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes are uncomfortable! In the next life, reincarnate and be a human being with a clean mouth!"

The author has something to say: Today's second update is open, I want to ask, that.

Go, go to the edge of the city.

What means?
