Chapter 240: Attacked in the Taoist Temple

At this time, Lu Zhanxing, who was in the other room, had no idea that his daughter was being targeted at such a young age.

Huaguo and Huali made some food and after dinner they prepared to rest.

After all, it was pouring rain outside, so they could only wait until tomorrow.

The wing room is divided into an inner room and an outer room. Lu Zhanxing and Ling'er sleep in the inner room, while the two sisters Hua and Guo sleep in the outer room, which makes it convenient for them to take care of Ling'er and his daughter.

Mu Qingli and Bai Jing took turns keeping watch against the wall.

I thought that tonight was just an ordinary stay and I could leave the next day, but unexpectedly, a killer suddenly appeared in the middle of the night.

Bai Jing immediately sensed the murderous aura. A dozen men in black surrounded the entire Taoist temple and began to attack inside the temple.

Mu Qingli and Bai Jing, who were guarding the door of the room, immediately defended it. The flashing of swords and the sound of weapons colliding outside still entered the room.

"Hualihuaguo, you take the prince and Ling'er and go first!"

"master!"

Huali Huaguo also looked solemn and alert. Seeing that the master could not be distracted, he could only call people into the room: "Prince, Princess, there are a lot of assassins outside. The master asked us to take you away first."

Lu Zhanxing was shocked and immediately picked up Ling'er. The two of them were indeed a hindrance here, making Mu Qingli and Bai Jing feel restricted. It would be better for them to leave first.

The old Taoist priest and the young Taoist priest had fallen asleep while meditating, but when they heard the noise outside, they quickly got up from their cushions.

"Master, did your disciple bring this?"

He has a special fate. As long as he stays with his relatives, all kinds of accidents will happen to them. If he really caused them, he would not dare to get close to that little sister again.

The old Taoist priest said, "Don't think too much. Now is a good time for you to approach them. Go over and take them out through the back door. I will take care of this."

"Master..."

The master treated him very well, and he didn't want anything to happen to the master.

As if he could see what he was thinking, the old Taoist said calmly: "Don't worry, your life will not end, you can go now!"

Bai Yu knew that his master never lied, so he went out with peace of mind.

Taoist Wuwei watched him leave from behind, stroked his beard and smiled: "Boy, I will protect you for the last time. I hope you will be happy in the future!"

Bai Yu didn't know that this would be the last time he and his master parted.

The master who never lies lied this time.

The old Taoist walked out of the room with a whisk in his hand, and saw Mu Qingli and Bai Jing guarding the door of the wing room to prevent the killer from entering. However, with two against ten, they were ultimately at a disadvantage.

So he joined the battle, greatly reducing the pressure on Bai Jing and Mu Qingli.

Bai Yu slipped into the wing room and said to Lu Zhanxing and the other three, "Follow me!"

Just now, Lu Zhanxing was about to ask Huali Huaguo to help them so that he could take his daughter and leave by hiding in the space, but he didn't expect Bai Yu to come in and get in the way.

But they meant well, so Lu Zhanxing had no choice but to hold Ling'er and follow Bai Yu.

When he re-entered the inner room, he saw Xiao Baiyu lift the lid of the bed and found a secret passage inside.

As expected, the ancients liked to dig secret passages, which greatly increased the probability of escape.

The group of five entered the secret passage. Hua Guo moved the wooden bed back to its original place, and then they ran towards the back mountain. The heavy rain outside dispelled some of the stuffiness. In order to prevent his daughter from getting wet, Lu Zhanxing had already put on a waterproof cloak and covered his daughter in the cloak.

But Huaguo, Huali and the little Taoist priest were not so lucky. She couldn't possibly conjure up cloaks for them out of thin air, right?

The little Taoist priest was young, so Huaguo and Huali took turns holding him. Bai Yu refused at first, but he was young and his martial arts skills were not very high. Even though he had traveled to many places, he still couldn't escape on such a rainy day.

I could only accept my fate and let the two sisters carry me and run away.

Mu Qingli and the other two resisted for a while. The old Taoist's whisk was also very powerful. With one wave, he knocked a killer away. The killer's body smashed things in the Taoist temple into pieces.

But even so, three men in black still went into the room, found it empty, looked at each other, and then dispersed to search.

Sure enough, he found the secret passage under the bed and immediately entered it to chase after him.

The rain-soaked people entered the back of the mountain. Bai Yu said, "Go a little further, there is a hidden cave halfway up the mountain."

Huaguo carried Baiyu on his back and led the way in front, while Huali followed behind to cover the rear.

Because they were carrying children, their speed was not as fast as the killers', and they were soon caught up.

The three killers formed a triangle and surrounded the three big ones and two small ones.

Lu Zhanxing was covered by a cloak and took out a custom-made pocket crossbow from the space. It was for saving himself and his daughter's lives. A few of them were fired by Ling'er, and the others were fired by himself in case of emergency. He didn't expect to use them so soon.

Huaguo put Xiao Baiyu down, and the two sisters each took out a dagger from their waist and took a defensive stance.

"My lord, we two sisters will hold them off. You will escape when you get the chance."

Huali said in a low voice with a serious look.

Lu Zhanxing said "hmm" to show that he understood.

This time she had no secret guards with her, as most of them had died in Yangzhou. If the remaining secret guards were alive, she would let them return to Beijing to report.

She thought her brother had become the emperor, and anyone who wanted to kill her would have to think twice. And with the master Bai Jing by her side, she felt very safe. Who knew that someone would not let her go?

The only enemy is Mu Qingran. I don’t know whether he is alive or not, but it is absolutely impossible for him to know my whereabouts so quickly, unless my whereabouts have been being spied on by someone. Who is that person?

It was raining heavily, and the powders of the two sisters Huaguohuali were no longer useful, which was very disadvantageous to them.

"Who are you? Who sent you?"

Lu Zhanxing asked questions first, and one of them said, "If you are willing to go with us, you may be able to see our master. Otherwise, you can bring your bodies back with you."

"Who is your master?"

Lu Zhanxing felt that the person behind the scenes was not simple.

Otherwise, how could such a powerful killer be arranged?

"You'll know once you get there, get started!!"

As soon as the three killers made a move, Huaguo Huali also bravely stepped forward to resist them.

One of them attacked Lu Zhanxing, and Xiao Baiyu opened his arms to block Lu Zhanxing and his daughter.

Lu Zhanxing raised his eyebrows slightly. This kid...

When the killer attacked, Lu Zhanxing didn't have time to think too much. He just raised his hand and shot the arrow in his sleeve at the killer.

"Huh! Huh!"

Two miniature crossbows shot out. The killer dodged the first time but was hit directly by the second time. An arrow hit his thigh directly and he screamed in pain.

The other two killers who were stopped were shocked and their killing moves became more brutal.

Huali Huaguo's martial arts skills were not very high, and she was quickly defeated. She was wounded many times and bleeding all over. Huaguo dodged the killer's knife attack, then was kicked to the ground, bleeding from her mouth. Just as the killer was about to attack her with a knife, suddenly a sharp arrow hit her.

The killer had to give up killing and dodge immediately.

The killer turned around and saw that the two men, one big and two small, were holding a miniature crossbow in their hands and were shooting at him repeatedly.

Ling'er was wearing Lu Zhanxing's cloak, and Bai Yu was standing beside them. Both of them had stern expressions, but their hands kept moving.

Lu Zhanxing, who was standing behind them, saw the two little guys taking action and said, "I'll leave this killer to you."

"Yes!" The two little guys stared at the killer, thinking they had a great sense of responsibility.
