Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 87
"What about others?" He Shaoguang stopped crying, and said in fear, "You came alone, didn't you meet him?"

Lu Xiaowen used a knife to loosen the rope for her, then untied the two children, and gently patted them awake.

"Father!" After being frightened a lot during the day, Lu Mingzhen thought he was dreaming at this moment, and got a little excited.

"Let's go, go home." Lu Xiaowen picked her up and held her in his arms.

He Shaoguang held Lu Mingyan tightly with his right hand, feeling very unreal. They went back so easily?
Sure enough, as soon as this idea came up, a tattered figure appeared at the door, it was the assassin during the day.

What he held in his hand was not Bai Ri's short knife, but a long sword instead.

"It's finally here, General Lu."

He seemed to have been guarding for a long time, leaning against the door frame and yawning.

"I received your letter of challenge, unfortunately... I never fight against trash." Lu Xiaowen's voice was very soft, it sounded like he was seriously injured and weak.

"Hey," the man laughed, "You have made great achievements in battle, and you think you are extraordinary. But now that you are injured, you are not as good as me, right?"

Wounds... He Shaoguang looked up, only to see that Lu Xiaowen's chest was wrapped in thick gauze, and it looked like he was seriously injured.

"You also know that I am the Great General Zhenyuan with great military exploits, what about the master behind you? He is not afraid that if I die, there will be chaos in the frontier?"

Under the moonlight, Lu Xiaowen with a soft voice lured the other party into the abyss step by step.

"Dare to assassinate a second-rank general. After the incident, the saint will be furious. He will definitely not spare your master lightly."

Maybe it was because he was too weak and looked harmless, so the assassin became complacent and relaxed his vigilance.

"Hahahaha... What is a saint? When the time comes, wait on the road to Huangquan, and you will be a good company with this saint!"

"The king of Yan is ambitious and licentious. Brother Assassin, you are a secret investment! He is not a good master."

He Shaoguang was heartbroken and yelled at the assassin in front of him.

The assassin felt that she was talking too much, so he frowned and refuted her: "Who told you that I belong to the King of Yan? Naturally, the empress wants to support her own child..."

The assassin didn't finish his sentence, and consciously made a slip of the tongue.

Realizing that she was talking routinely, she became angry from embarrassment, raised her sword and stabbed at them, pointing directly at He Shaoguang: "I didn't intend to kill you weak woman, but since you have heard what you shouldn't listen to, then you all have to die today! excuse me!"

The offended He Shaoguang stepped aside, thinking that Lu Xiaowen was still injured at this time, he worriedly said: "You are injured, can you handle it?"

"Don't worry." Lu Xiaowen clenching his fist and coughing, raised his hand to block the assassin's attack.

After fighting, it was discovered that this assassin was different from the ones during the day today, and his martial arts were much higher. It seemed that this was the leader of the assassins waiting for him at last.

The two fought from the inside to the outside, and the dilapidated door frame was knocked down by Lu Xiaowen's palm and scattered on the ground.

He Shaoguang was worried and exclaimed at the same time: So this is Chinese kung fu?

She hugged the two children and thought of covering their eyes, lest they be afraid of seeing this scene.

Unexpectedly, Lu Mingyan was not afraid at all, and even Lu Mingzhen was a little excited, covering his eyes with one hand, but couldn't help but peek from between his fingers.

Well, He Shaoguang didn't care about them.

She saw a thick, long, solid wooden stick with rusty iron nails in the door frame that had just come down.

She walked over quietly and picked up the stick.

Lu Xiaowen is highly skilled in martial arts, but due to the injury, it is difficult to receive the moves, and as time goes by, the offensive becomes weaker and weaker, and the assassin will soon gain the upper hand.

There is a pond outside the ruined temple. I don't know how deep it is. It should be used by the monks here to store water in the past.

The water in it has been hidden for many years, and it is smelly and dirty.

The two of them reached the edge of the pond after fighting each other. Seeing the assassin raised his sword high and pressed it down with both hands, Lu Xiaowen blocked his arm with his bare hands to prevent the sword from stabbing down.

After a stalemate for a while, Lu Xiaowen obviously had no strength, and even pulled the wound, tearing and bleeding again.

He Shaoguang saw the right moment, and gave the assassin a blow from behind, and hung it down with force.

The assassin felt a huge pain in the back of his head, he touched it with his hand, and he felt blood on his hand.

It staggered and fell to the side.

Lu Xiaowen's personal guard, who was lying in ambush on the surrounding alleys, waiting for the opportunity to rush out to help: Madam is fierce
He Shaoguang kicked him to the side in disgust, and quickly checked Lu Xiaowen's injuries.

The two children also ran over and surrounded him.

"How do we go back?" He Shaoguang couldn't help but asked without seeing the carriage.

Lu Xiaowen pointed down the slope: "The carriages and horses are below, you take the children down first."

"Okay." He Shaoguang nodded, and turned to lead the two children.

Lu Mingzhen, Lu Mingyan on the left, huh?
He Shaoguang watched in horror as the assassin woke up behind Lu Mingyan, with scarlet eyes, he pulled Lu Mingyan who was closest to him, and threw him into the pond——

The accident happened so suddenly that Lu Mingyan didn't even have time to struggle.

"Ming Yan!" He Shaoguang didn't think too much, and rushed over. No matter how shallow the pond is, it is deeper than the child's height.

The terrible thing about this water is not that it is deep, but that it is dirty and smelly. I don't know how many germs it carries. If Lu Mingyan gets infected, he doesn't know if he can carry it down.

After all, this is ancient times and there is no advanced medical technology.

As soon as he jumped in, He Shaoguang realized that the water was deeper than she had imagined, and could cover her head.

And as soon as she got into the water, the memories of drowning when she was a child flooded back again. The fear of deep water entangled her, and her hands and feet were almost stiff.

The stinky pond in the spring night is icy and sticky, which is really uncomfortable.

He Shaoguang suppressed his fear and forced himself to hunt Lu Mingyan everywhere.

After choking on several saliva, he floated to Lu Mingyan's side and grabbed his little arm.

There was some mud in Lu Mingyan's mouth and nose, but he caught an unknown plant that grew from the bottom of the water to the surface, so he didn't choke on much water.

"Ming Yan, lie on my back, let's go up."

Lu Mingyan nodded numbly, his hair stuck to his face, his face was dirty, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"Hurry up and get the young master and madam!"

The bodyguards lying in ambush by the side of the road rushed out, one wave was busy trying to catch people, and the other wave surrounded the assassin, preventing him from doing anything else.

The assassin was quickly tied up.

In a panic, Lu Xiaowen lost his mind and kicked the assassin violently until he vomited blood.

"Keep it alive and bring it back."

The soldiers dragged He Shaoguang and the two of them up, their clothes were all wet, sticking to their bodies, and there were also unknown aquatic plants hanging on them.

Her hair was also messed up and dripping water.

When he came up and was blown by the wind, He Shaoguang immediately sneezed loudly.

so cold...

She waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need the support of the soldiers, and limped a few steps by herself.
