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

Chapter 177

Shen Lanze leaves early and returns late every day, but every day when he comes back, he will take a look at Lu Nanzhi's room.

With the help of Lu Nanzhi, Zhang Qiu's business became more and more prosperous.

She came to Lu Nanzhi's table with a newly made pastry, and said with a smile, "This is my Sophora japonica cake. I specially put some Sophora japonica in it. You can taste it."

"It's a great idea."

Lu Nanzhi picked up a piece and tasted it carefully, and gave her a thumbs up, "The taste is really sweet and delicate."

Zhang Qiu was praised, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Ms. Lu is not afraid that I am a bad person?"

These words actually made Lu Nanzhi laugh, and observed her carefully and said, "Where is there such a weak villain like you? I'm afraid you will be caught before you do anything bad."

Zhang Qiu lowered his head and pursed his lips and chuckled, a strange look flashed across his eyes.

Lu Nanzhi handed her the pastry, "Try it too, it tastes really good."

"Okay." Looking into her clear eyes, Zhang Qiu felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.

Lu Nanzhi didn't have much contact with her, but he could understand the warmth and kindness in her character.

Three days later, the murderer was finally caught. During the interrogation, it was learned that the leader of the Holy Cult was hiding in Jingzhou, and only the left and right guardians and elders were left in the Holy Cult.

Jun Moyu doubted the authenticity of this news, because they caught the murderer so smoothly, if this was a trap set by the enemy, wouldn't they all be wiped out.

……

In the capital, the Prime Minister received a secret report from the spies, and frowned when he saw the information above.

"Your Excellency, are you worried about the situation in Jingzhou?"

Ruo Chaofeng sat on a chair and drank from his teacup.

"Yes!" The Prime Minister sighed and put down the letter: "The spies we have planted in Jingzhou for decades have all disappeared overnight."

Anxiety and anger appeared on Prime Minister Luo's face: "If it weren't for the sudden rise of the Holy Cult, these spies would not disappear. Now that the Holy Cult is in the dark and we are in the light, this is very detrimental to Shen Lanze and His Highness the Fifth Highness."

Ruo Chaofeng said indifferently: "Your Excellency, there is no need to worry. Although the existence of the Holy Cult is a time bomb, as long as we are careful, we can gain the upper hand even if we are temporarily at a disadvantage."

Prime Minister Luo handed over the secret report, Ruo Chaofeng opened the letter, read the contents of the letter, raised his head in surprise, it seemed that the matter was more serious than they imagined.

"I plan to go to Jingzhou myself." Prime Minister Luo was worried, worried that this time things would be more troublesome.

Ruo Chaofeng pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "This matter is too dangerous, let's think about it again."

Prime Minister Luo smiled lightly, "Don't worry, I came here this time because I want you to help me cover up."

"You really want to do this? What if things are not in Jingzhou..."

"Even if the things are not in Jingzhou, the only blood of the Shen family is still in Jingzhou, and His Royal Highness is still in Jingzhou, there is no guarantee that Song Guifei will not get rid of them by the hands of the holy religion." Prime Minister Luo is still worried, Shen Taifu is left with Shen Lanze With the only bloodline, how could he have the heart to watch the Shen family have no descendants.

When Ruo Chaofeng left, it was already dark, and no one noticed that a figure left without a sound.

On the day Prime Minister Luo was about to get up, a group of assassins suddenly broke into the prime minister's mansion.

The opponent was numerous and powerful, and even the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were highly skilled in martial arts, and they couldn't resist such a dense attack.

What's more, now that the enemy is outnumbered, the guards of the prime minister's mansion are very reluctant to support.

While fighting, the housekeeper yelled: "Master Xiang, quickly take the young lady away! Leave the old slave alone."

It's a pity that there were bursts of fighting sounds outside, and those assassins rushed over as if they were crazy.

"Ah..." Luo Qingyan's miserable cry came, seeing the corpses all over the floor, she was so frightened that her legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

"Miss..." Lan Zhu supported her to stand up, and Xiang'er, who was always at her side, didn't know where she went.

Prime Minister Luo listened to the whistling wind in his ears, his eyes were tearing apart, and his eyes were red. He saw the assassin pointing his sword at Luo Qingyan, and wanted to rush over but was entangled by the enemy, unable to escape.

Prime Minister Luo gritted his teeth, and a flash of determination flashed across his eyes: "Do your best to protect Miss from leaving!"

As soon as the words fell, Prime Minister Luo ignored the stabbing sword and used his body to block the light of the sword for his daughter.

"Father!" Luo Qingyan screamed.

Seeing this, the assassins all stopped moving.

Prime Minister Luo was covered in blood, and the blood dripped down. His face was pale, his lips were slightly parted, and he seemed to want to say something, but in the end it only turned into a sigh.

"Father—!" Luo Qingyan fell to her knees on the ground, crying bitterly.

She knew that her father gave up his life to save her with the idea of ​​mortal death, she hated it, she hated herself for being incapable and unable to protect herself and her family.

These people obviously planned it long ago, otherwise it would be impossible to arrange it so carefully.

He took a deep breath, held Luo Qingyan's hand, and handed her a token and a kit, "Go, go."

Luo Qingyan raised her tear-filled eyes, looking at Prime Minister Luo's old and haggard face, her tears couldn't be controlled anymore: "What about you?"

"I'll leave the queen." Prime Minister Luo wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stood up firmly from the ground.

"No!" Luo Qingyan shook her head, "You leave with me."

Prime Minister Luo gently stroked her head: "Silly boy, if you stay, there will be no survivors for our Luo family."

"Don't trust Concubine Song and the Second Prince, go to Shen Lanze and His Highness Fifth, they will protect you."

After finishing speaking, Prime Minister Luo raised his long sword and pushed Luo Qingyan away.

The person who fell to the ground looked at Prime Minister Luo in a daze.

Prime Minister Luo returned a warm smile: "Remember, you are the only hope for the Luo family!"

Before Prime Minister Luo finished speaking, his figure suddenly rose, and he flew up in an instant, fighting with the assassin.

"Father—" Luo Qingyan covered her mouth and wept uncontrollably.

In order to protect her, her father sacrificed himself... What should she do?She couldn't even imagine how she would survive in the future if something happened to her father?
Just when Luo Qingyan was confused, Lan Zhu pulled her away from the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly.

When Zhao Chaofeng came with his people, it was a pity that none of the Luo family survived, there were tragically dead bodies everywhere, and the strong smell of blood filled the air.

"How can this happen, how can this happen!"

It turned out that Prime Minister Luo, who was dead, grabbed Ruo Chaofeng's arm and said with all his strength: "Qingyan, go save Qingyan, the token and letter are here..."

Before Prime Minister Luo could finish his last sentence, his hands hung down weakly.

Ruo Chaofeng didn't have time to be sad, he turned his head to look at the Luo Mansion, and chased him out on horseback. Luo Qingyan was the only daughter of Prime Minister Luo, and no matter what, she couldn't be allowed to fall into the hands of treacherous people.

With Lan Zhu's support, Luo Qingyan ran forward tirelessly, not daring to turn her head, holding tightly the things her father gave her, with only one belief in her heart.

Find Shen Lanze and the Fifth Highness, find Shen Lanze and the Fifth Highness!
