Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 173 The Holy Religion
These people are all well-trained killers, all of them are highly skilled in martial arts and agile.

Shen Lanze quickly raised his long sword to block, and Deadpool also fought with those men in black.

The man in black noticed that Shen Lanze had been protecting the carriage, so he shifted his target to the carriage, and one of them stabbed at the carriage with a dagger.

Just at the very moment, the person in the carriage grabbed the opponent's right hand holding the dagger, and when the opponent was astonished, he twisted it hard, and there was a "click" sound of bone breaking, and then the dagger fell on the carriage.

The man in black sweated profusely from the pain, Wushuang picked up the dagger and killed him with his backhand.

Seeing this, the other two killers immediately separated two people to deal with Shen Lanze and Deadpool.

Wushuang knew that he could no longer stay in the carriage, so he jumped out of the carriage with Lu Nanzhi, but before he could stand still, a gleaming sword lay across Lu Nanzhi's neck.

Wushuang dragged her back to avoid the opponent's sharp sword point, and then let her hide behind the big tree.

Wushuang joined the fight, and the men in black were almost defeated.

After dealing with several men in black, Deadpool checked the dead men in black and found a token on one of the men in black.

"These people are here for you." Lu Nanzhi walked over and asked with a frown.

Shen Lanze didn't answer. These people didn't come for him, but they were interested in the thing in his hand.

Deadpool showed the token to Shen Lanze, with a lotus flower engraved on it, "This is..."

Deadpool interjected: "This is the sign of the holy religion."

Lu Nanzhi was stunned for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at Wushuang: "What is the holy religion?"

She has only heard of Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity, but never the name Shengjiao.

Deadpool received the look and explained: "The Holy Cult is a recently-emerged cult organization. It takes 'saving the suffering' as its mission, and acts cruelly and viciously. It is said that their goal is very clear, as long as they have money, they can do anything."

Lu Nanzhi asked in surprise, "Including murder?"

"Of course." Deadpool replied without hesitation, then added after a pause: "Not only that, there are many saints, and their eyeliners are all over the place."

Lu Nanzhi gasped, and looked at Shen Lanze in disbelief, "You...how did you provoke them?"

Wushuang was also surprised, but quickly calmed down.

"We are investigating the Holy Cult this time, and we want to eradicate the Holy Cult completely." Shen Lanze said calmly, as if he didn't care about this huge organization at all.

Lu Nanzhi was terrified, "What about you, what are you going to do?"

Shen Lanze said lightly: "Don't worry, the emperor has already placed people in the holy religion. We only need to cooperate with the outside world to eradicate the holy religion in one fell swoop."

"That's good, that's good..." Lu Nanzhi heaved a sigh of relief, his face was still pale, and he didn't even notice that she had revealed her identity.

Shen Lanze actually knew who she was from the very beginning, but he didn't poke and play with her.

Wushuang glanced at Lu Nanzhi, then shook her head secretly, Miss is so innocent and cute!
The group continued on the road and stopped at a tea shed outside Jingzhou City. Lu Nanzhi jumped out of the carriage first, and they were exhausted from sitting all the way.

"Boss, bring a pot of tea."

"Okay, wait a minute, guest officer." The boss turned to make tea, while Lu Nanzhi looked around and took Wushuang to find an empty seat to sit down. Shen Lanze and Deadpool followed and sat down.

The tea shed was not too small, and it was already full of people at this time, making piles in twos and threes, chatting and laughing happily, and the atmosphere was lively.

As soon as they were seated, a man next to him suddenly slapped the table and scolded angrily, "Damn it, you don't give me money if you have money. Believe it or not, I chopped you up and fed it to the dogs!"

Lu Nanzhi looked sideways and found that the man was tall and strong, wearing a short shirt, animal skins around his waist, and ropes around his wrists. He was obviously a martial arts practitioner all year round.

"I didn't..." A woman's timid voice sounded, as if she wanted to justify something, but was pushed away roughly by the man.

The woman fell down on the stool, her face was full of panic, her lips were trembling, tears were streaming down her face, she looked very pitiful.

The diners around accused the man of being rude, but due to his strong physique and fierce expression, no one dared to stand up and help.

"I'm telling you, go to the Goulan Yard to earn money for me, and if you dare to run back, I will break your leg!" The man's vulgar words made people sick.

The woman shrugged her shoulders and sobbed softly.

Lu Nanzhi looked at the man and then at the weeping woman, feeling that a sympathetic woman, especially those clean and clear eyes, would always arouse a soft corner of the girl's heart.

Seeing that Lu Nanzhi was staring at this side, the man walked over impatiently and shouted: "What are you looking at, believe it or not, I will goug out your eyeballs!"

"Why don't you divorce this girl and sell it to me?" Lu Nanzhi's words were astonishing, which attracted everyone around to look at her.

"What?" The man's eyes widened, as if he hadn't expected to meet a fool, he laughed loudly, "Stinky bitch, you're so tired!"

Wushuang stretched out her right hand to hold the man's fist, and twisted it slightly.

click-

The sound of bone fracture was very clear in the silent tea shed.

The man screamed, knelt on the ground clutching his injured right arm, and wailed.

The surrounding crowd was in an uproar.

"This little girl is amazing."

"Look at her slender arms and legs, where can she get so much strength?"

"It's probably Lianjiazi!"

"No wonder!"

"This chick is a bit spicy!"

"Do you like it?"

"I like it, but I'm afraid of getting into trouble. You know, I can't touch women."

Everyone was discussing, the man was so painful that his face was grim, he gritted his teeth and threatened: "Stinky bitch, if you dare to hit me, you will die, you will wait for me!"

Lu Nanzhi pouted contemptuously, took out five taels of silver from his pocket, put it on the table, and said coldly, "Is that enough?"

The man who was about to leave abruptly stopped and turned to look at the silver placed on the table.

Lu Nanzhi spoke again: "Isn't that enough?"

Wushuang received Lu Nanzhi's gaze, pulled out the dagger from his arms, and laid it across the man's neck, scaring the man back a few steps: "Enough, enough."

"Since that's enough, then stop talking nonsense, write a divorce letter, and get out with the money!" She stuffed the bank note into the man's hand and kicked him.

The man staggered back a few steps, got up in embarrassment, borrowed a pen and paper to write the divorce letter, gave her a hard look, and fled quickly with the money.

Everyone was stunned, and Lu Nanzhi's actions made everyone applaud.

The woman came over and bowed to several people, "Thank you for your help, my servant is willing to be a slave and a servant to repay the girl for saving her life."

"You're welcome, let's go."

Lu Nanzhi looked at her thin clothes, and gave her another tael of silver.

The woman stared at her blankly, she couldn't believe that she would let herself go.

"Let's go." Lu Nanzhi put the money into her hands, and returned to her seat to drink tea.

The woman clenched the money tightly in surprise, turned around and left slowly, and before leaving, she glanced at Lu Nanzhi again.

Suddenly, a group of people on horseback came outside, and all of them stared blankly ahead.

There were five people riding horses, all dressed in black clothes and wearing long swords on their waists.
