Martial arts of the heavens, I am unstoppable since I was born

Chapter 69: In Yanhe Village, the Lu Family

In Yanhe Village, ordinary farmers were celebrating happily today, and even many white-haired old men had smiles on their faces.

It wasn’t the New Year, but a few knights came to the village.

These knights were generous and because they were not used to the coarse rice eaten by the farmers, they spent money to buy pigs from the village and killed and ate the meat with the villagers.

Of course, these knights didn't need to do the cooking. Only one was left in the kitchen to help, and the rest of them gathered in a room.

The two leading knights, one male and one female, were wearing royal blue clothes made of high-quality silk. Although their decorations were simple because they were traveling outdoors, the jade pendants and jade belts around their waists were extraordinary.

It is obvious that the two come from wealthy families.

The couple sat on the edge of the bed, while the others sat on the benches opposite them, with a clear distinction between the main and the secondary.

One of them was wearing tattered clothes with patches all over them, but they were clean and starched, without any odor or dirt. He bowed towards the two people on the bed and said:
"Master Lu, Madam Lu, while reports of victory are pouring in from other regions, the Tartars we're chasing are not only elusive, but also increasingly close to Jiaxing City. If they were to enter, our loss of face would be minor, but the damage to the reputation of Taihu Lu Manor and the Beggars' Sect would be far greater."

"What should we do next? Master Lu, please give us a set of rules."

Manor Master Lu and Madam Lu exchanged a glance, and the former spoke up, "Don't panic, brothers. I've already sent a message to Jiaxing a while ago. My uncle-shi, your leader, and the great hero Guo Jing are in Jiaxing City. If they hear about this, they'll definitely come all the way from Jiaxing City to search for you. Don't worry."

"I hope so!" a voice called out from outside the room. The person who was supposed to be keeping watch in the kitchen strode in, not giving the two people on the bed a second glance. "Lu Guanying, Cheng Yaojia, you two better pray that we can catch those Tartars this time. If they do anything evil... humph! That's all your fault, your incompetence."

Lu Guanying and Cheng Yaojia's expressions darkened upon hearing this. "The leadership is weak, that's my fault, but the disappearance of this group of people is probably your 'divine dog' Xin Buying's fault."

"Before, you swore with all your heart that those quacks and the Mongols were right here, but we've been chasing them for days and haven't seen any trace of them at all..."

Xin Ying couldn't help but rub his nose and said angrily, "Is it my fault? If you and this Madam Lu hadn't needed to rest and slow down every now and then, there would be no need to run for so long!"

When Lu Guanying heard him throw the pot at Cheng Yaojia's head, he immediately jumped up and said, "This is a foolproof plan! What if we run out of energy chasing them, or if we get ambushed by them, what will you do?"

Although Cheng Yaojia is a disciple of the Quanzhen Pure and Quiet Wanderer Sun Buer, his martial arts skills are not very good. How could he travel at high speed at night and under the stars and the moon?

The two men each had their own reasons. As they were arguing, a peasant woman came running over and said that the meal was ready and asked everyone to come and enjoy it.

So, the conflict was put aside for the time being.

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

Cheng Yaojia stepped forward and offered a way out.

Lu Guanying and Xin Buying both snorted, turned around and walked outside.

Cheng Yaojia apologized to the other knights. Her quiet nature and virtuous temperament prevented the other knights from complaining much.

Because a pig was slaughtered, all the people in the village gathered together to have dinner with Lu Guanying and his friends. However, only the prominent figures in the village could sit at the table, and most people squatted on the side to eat.

Xin Yingying looked at the two pieces of fat meat in the bowl and was about to pick up his chopsticks when he saw a dirty-faced kid next to him staring at him eagerly. His mouth was drooling and he raised his eyebrows. He picked up a piece of meat and handed it to the kid, "Want to eat? Take it."

"Hero, how can we do this..." The little guy's parents felt a little embarrassed and quickly came up to pull the little guy back.

The little guy was neither angry nor crying, he just stared at the meat.

Xin Yingying showed dissatisfaction on his face, "Why can't I use a piece of meat? I usually eat a lot of meat, I'm tired of it a long time ago, just take it."

He simply handed the meat in his bowl to the couple.

Lu Guanying and Cheng Yaojia were about to eat meat, but seeing him behave like this, Lu Guanying angrily gave the meat to another child.

This made the other knights very embarrassed.

"You guys eat first."

Cheng Yaojia quickly gave her meat to Lu Guanying, stood up and said, "I'm not hungry, I'm going to go out for a walk." When she stood up, she saw that the little guy's parents did not eat meat. They just put the meat aside and ate the brown rice in the bowl.

Although she felt confused, she was kind-hearted and didn't think much about it. She just walked out of the village.

But before he got halfway, an arrow suddenly shot out from the side.

If Cheng Yaojia had not stepped back in time, the arrow would have grazed her eyes.

"Who?!"

Cheng Yaojia was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He drew the sword in his hand and turned to look in the direction of the arrow. Suddenly, he felt a sudden gust of wind on his back, and his hair stood on end. He immediately rolled forward without caring about his image.

Bang!
A mace hit the ground, shaking the ground three times and splashing countless pieces of gravel onto Cheng Yaojia's back.

Cheng Yaojia stood up from a half-squat beside the house and saw that although the other party was dressed like a Central Plains person, he had the ferocity of a grassland man, and with the mace in his hand, he immediately confirmed his identity.

This person is the Mongolian Tartar they have been looking for!
"I originally wanted to capture a few people, but I didn't expect to get an unexpected reward. This little girl is prettier than those village women. I won't rush to kill her, I'll just play with her for a bit."

Several other foreign monks came out, with lewd smiles on their faces. The leader rubbed his hands and said, "This face, this skin... it's a waste to just play with it. I'm going to peel her skin and use it as a ritual implement."

Oh no, the other side has more people...

Cheng Yaojia's heart sank. Seeing that these people were so numerous and powerful, he did not bother with them. He leaped up like a cheetah and ran towards the village, shouting as he ran:
"The Tartars are coming! The Mongolian Tartars are here!"

"Stop her quickly!" The mace missed again, and anger appeared on his face. He angrily smashed the earth wall.

"No shooting! Such good skin cannot be damaged in the slightest!"

The red-robed foreign monk leaped up like a giant bird, used his feet to gain leverage to step onto the house, and in just a few steps he caught up with Cheng Yaojia.

Cheng Yaojia is so close!
"My beauty, just obey me obediently~" He smiled broadly and reached out to grab Cheng Yaojia's hair.

Whoosh!
A sound broke through the air.

Then the monk felt a pain in his palm, and withdrew his hand with a cry. Looking down, he saw a specially polished stone embedded in his palm.

He couldn't help but say angrily: "What a hidden weapon! Who is doing this hidden arrow to hurt people?"

"I!"

Lu Guanying and the others jumped out together. After receiving Cheng Yaojia, Lu Guanying stood up and said:
"I was just worried I couldn't find you, but I didn't expect you to show up right here. It's true that if you don't take the road to heaven, you'll find yourself in hell!"

Whoosh!
A sharp arrow was shot out.

Snapped!
Lu Guanying drew his sword and cut off the sharp arrow.

Both sides jumped out to fight at the same time.

When Xin Yingying passed by Lu Guanying, he said, "Just hit him, you're talking too much nonsense!"

Lu Guanying was so angry that his face turned red. He immediately rushed out with his sword, "Do you dare to compete to see who has killed more people?"

"You're the one who raised me because I'm afraid of you!" Xin Yingying responded sharply.

The two of them rushed out at the same time.

The next moment, Lu Guanying was beaten back and fell to his knees, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

"Despicable! They used poison!"
