Chapter 67 Man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation

Night falls and the earth falls into darkness.

The moon is dark and the wind kills the night.

Today Lu Zhanxing is about to experience it. She has never killed anyone and is a little nervous, but in order to lie down, she still has to pay some price in the early stage.

Lu Zhanxing and Bai Jing both put on night clothes.

Bai Jing took six assassins to Tan Ling's yard to attract firepower, while Lu Zhan went outside the wall of the backyard and heard the sound of fighting.

She flashed into the space and was already in the yard when she reappeared.

This is a two-courtyard house. The front yard is filled with weapons clashing, making clanging and clanging sounds. Both sides are killers, fighting head on, and from time to time someone screams, which shows how fierce the fight is.

There was only one old woman in the yard who helped Tan Ling with cooking and housework, and she was deaf-mute, so she had no idea of ​​the murderous aura outside.

Tan Ling ran to the backyard with a pale face: "Fourth Prince, Your Highness, it's bad... there are assassins..."

Lu Zhanxing, who was looking for Luo Qiuyu in a place with light, almost ran into Tan Ling head-on. Fortunately, she slipped into the space under the cover of night.

Tan Ling rubbed his eyes. Was that a figure that just flashed by?

Maybe I saw it wrong because I was too nervous?

So he ran away in a hurry again, and Lu Zhanxing appeared in a corner. What the hell? The fourth prince is here?

This damn male protagonist's halo.

Lu Zhanxing cursed inwardly and decided to try his luck.

In the yard, a dark shadow shuttled back and forth like an afterimage, and Tan Ling almost saw her several times when he looked back.

Lu Zhanxing could only be more cautious and followed Tan Ling all the way to a door. Seeing that Tan Ling did not go in, she flashed into the space, then calculated the approximate distance before reappearing. She found that the place where she reappeared was right in front of the tent, and she saw with her own eyes two overlapping voices in the hazy tent.

There were also indescribable sounds coming from inside.

"Your Highness, it's bad, there's an assassin..."

Tan Ling's voice sounded outside the door. The Fourth Prince froze in his tracks and pulled open the curtain...

Gan! !

Lu Zhanxing quickly slipped into the space.

Almost…almost…

The fourth prince hurriedly put on his clothes, not caring about the woman on the bed, and opened the door directly, asking in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"Your Highness, there are suddenly many assassins outside. They may want to kill you. Please leave quickly!"

Tan Ling showed a look of worry at the right time.

Hearing this, the Fourth Prince's expression turned cold. Who wanted to assassinate him?

He finally managed to sneak out of the palace today and was ready to implement his plan, but he didn't expect that someone would be unable to hold back and want to take action against him so soon.

Could it be the second brother? Or the fifth brother?

"Your Highness, there is no time to lose. Let's go! I will be watching here."

The Fourth Prince was moved. He did not expect that Tan Ling would not fear life and death for him. He said in a deep voice, "Let's go together. Your Highness will not abandon his own people."

"Your Highness..." Tan Ling was touched: "It is my honor to be your Highness's staff member."

The Fourth Prince was very satisfied with Tan Ling's attitude, and the two of them climbed over the wall to the backyard and ran away.

As for the woman inside?

What could be more important than your own life?

Lu Zhanxing waited for a while and then appeared in a corner of the room. He heard the woman on the bed get out of bed in a panic: "Your Highness... please don't abandon Yu'er..."

Luo Qiuyu was in such a hurry to put on her clothes that she didn't notice there was a figure in the room. The more anxious she was, the harder it was for her to get dressed. She thought she had escaped death and had attached herself to the Fourth Prince, but who knew that she would encounter an assassin while doing good deeds, and that the prince would abandon her?

At this time, Lu Zhanxing faced such a great opportunity. He immediately took out a sharp dagger from the space and slowly approached Luo Qiuyu. However, she had never done such a thing before. She swallowed her saliva and looked inexplicably nervous. The hand holding the dagger was shaking...

In the end, it was a knife attack that knocked Luo Qiuyu unconscious.

Ugh!

Still can't adapt to this society.

It's okay to just talk on weekdays, but I'm still very timid when it comes to taking action myself.

It turns out that I am not suitable to be there in person.

It’s better to leave this kind of technical work to the people under your command!

"Master?"

Bai Jing escaped from the front yard. Worried about Lu Zhanxing, he killed two assassins and rushed over. He was relieved to see that Lu Zhanxing was fine.

Seeing the black-clothed man in front of him covered in blood, Lu Zhanxing was about to hide in the space, but he was relieved when he heard Bai Jing's voice and asked, "How is it over there?"

"We can still handle those assassins, but what about the young master?"

Lu Zhanxing glanced at Luo Qiuyu who had fainted on the ground. He realized that he was not well prepared this time. Moreover, the Fourth Prince was the male protagonist and was not so easy to kill. It was a bit of a pity, but his goal today had been achieved.

"I will wait for you at the inn first, so just kill her!"

After saying that, he walked out of the door, closed it behind him, and then ran away.

Bai Jing glanced at the woman on the ground and tilted his head in confusion. Isn’t it just a matter of one sword?

Why did you go to the trouble of knocking someone out, young master?

Although he didn't understand, he still obediently killed the man with one sword, and then joined the battle again.

After returning to the inn, Lu Zhanxing quickly changed out of his night clothes, then patted his chest hard, realizing that he was still a good citizen.

After waiting for about half an hour, Bai Jing came back covered in blood.

"Master, the matter has been resolved. Several assassins in that yard have died, and two have escaped. The people we hired have already paid the final payment and left."

"Very good, let's rest here tonight!"

Anyway, I often hang out in brothels and it is common for me not to go home.

next day

Lu Zhanxing slept until noon and then woke up and returned home.

But she happened to meet her second brother-in-law Zhou Li.

"Brother Xing, have you just come back?"

Lu Zhanxing winked at Zhou Li: "Second brother-in-law understands!"

Zhou Li was speechless: "Don't teach me bad things, or your second sister won't even let me get on the bed."

"Haha, where are you planning to go, brother-in-law?"

He seems to be very busy since his second brother-in-law came.

"I brought a lot of goods to Beijing this time, and I'm going to sell them before the Qiqiao Festival. Your second sister may stay longer this time, so I plan to buy more properties in the capital."

After saying that, he took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom and stuffed them into Lu Zhanxing's hand: "Xing brother, brother-in-law doesn't have anything good to give you, you can buy it yourself, and if it's not enough, ask brother-in-law for more. Brother-in-law is going to be busy now."

Lu Zhanxing glanced at the approximately three thousand taels in his hand, and then looked at his second brother-in-law who was leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help but smile with pleasure.

This brother-in-law is good at getting along, and she loves money the most.

As expected, her second brother-in-law is the one she likes the most!

Well, next time I’ll say more good things about my second brother-in-law to my second sister.

Having received three thousand taels for free, Lu Zhanxing was in even better spirits.

However, when he heard the word "temple fair", the smile on Lu Zhanxing's face disappeared, and his expression became more solemn than ever before.

Qiqiao Festival temple fair!

It's another big romantic festival.

I wonder if the Fourth Prince has any other "surprises" prepared for the eldest brother.

She decided to wait until the Qiqiao Festival, then pester her eldest brother, force him to drink, and never let him leave the house.

As long as you stay at home, you can prevent all conspiracies and intrigues.

But even if Lu Zhanxing had thought of a countermeasure, man proposes, God disposes...
