After a while, Xue Heng turned back and nodded reassuringly to Du Zhong and Zhou Shizhi.
"We can't stay here anymore, we must leave immediately!" Xue Heng said.
Du Zhong also nodded: "That's right! Let's go quickly, the sooner the better! Set a fire, and this place will be cleaned up! Did you leave marks on the one outside?"
Xue Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, can I still have this little eye? I use the most common Five Tiger Fist, and it won't leave any traces!"
"That's good!" Du Zhong nodded and beckoned him to light a fire in the temple.
"Wait!" Xue Heng suddenly said coldly: "Brother seems to have forgotten something!" With a flick of his toes, a long sword flew up from the ground and fell lightly into his hands.
Xue Heng stared at Lu Xiaoshu with a murderous look on his sword and said, "This girl must not be kept anymore! She saw everything just now!"
Du Zhong hesitated for a moment, and then remained silent, which was equivalent to acquiescing to Xue Heng's statement. What Xue Heng said was right, she saw everything just now, it was too dangerous to keep it, they must not take this risk.
The old prince was wronged and murdered by his whole family. Only the two of them escaped with the protection of the young prince. They have been hiding in Tibet and wandering around for so many years.
Little son, there must be nothing wrong, he hasn't redressed the prince's grievances, and he hasn't sought justice for the palace. Under this premise, everything can be sacrificed.
Although this little girl was wronged a bit, she was not the only one who was wronged in this world. Since she met her, she could only blame her own fate.
"No!" Zhou Shizhi didn't even want to run over to stop Lu Xiaoshu tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Uncles, Xiaoshu is innocent!"
Zhou Shizhi's face became snow-white, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He knew this time was different, this time was different from any other time!
Although Second Uncle Xue dislikes Xiao Shu very much, he always feels that Xiao Shu's influence has spoiled him, but as long as he persists in protecting her, he will not insist on doing anything to her.
But this time, Xiaoshu saw something that she shouldn't have seen, in order to avoid leaking the secret from her, they would definitely not let her off easily. He suddenly felt deep fear and dread.
"Second Uncle, Xiao Shu is my friend, she won't betray me, she definitely won't! Don't make things difficult for her! Xiao Shu, swear, swear, okay, everything you saw today will never leave this door! Will tell anyone about it! Xiao Shu, swear quickly!"
Lu Xiaoshu was a little stunned, this is to kill her? She was nervous, a little dazed, and a little unbelievable.
Zhou Shizhi shook her and told her to swear, she looked at him, moved her lips, but couldn't say a word.
Xue Heng saw Zhou Shizhi's incoherent and panicked expression because of Lu Xiaoshu, which was completely different from his usual calm and shrewd expression, and he couldn't help feeling even more angry.
In fact, this little master has been quite different since he met this wild girl. This is a great opportunity, and Xue Heng feels that he must seize it.
"It's useless to swear, A Si, you should be as clear as I am, in this world, only the dead can truly keep secrets!"
Xue Heng pushed forward step by step slowly, staring at him with quiet eyes, and said: "A Si, have you forgotten how the prince and concubine died? You forgot your brother The fate of the sisters, have you forgotten the tragedy of the Wangfu and the whole family? You have forgotten that day when the head rolled to the ground and the blood splashed all over the ground? Are so many lives not enough to exchange for this wild girl in front of you? ?”
Zhou Shizhi clenched his hands tightly into fists, bit his lip, his face was pale, and he trembled uncontrollably, with a look of incomparable pain in his eyes.
Lu Xiaoshu was blocked by him like this, and couldn't help being shocked and sympathetic secretly after hearing these words, if she didn't seem to be able to understand this feeling in the past, but now she feels the same. The death of her little uncle and the disappearance of her sister have caused her and her whole family to be heartbroken, but at such a young age, he has endured far more heavily and painfully than what she and her whole family have endured. On weekdays, he can still hide calmly, which makes her have to say admiration.
It's just that understanding is understanding and sympathy is sympathy. It doesn't mean that she is willing to exchange her life for their peace of mind!
God, she is just a passerby, unlucky enough to be involved in it, this is not her will at all, why should she be blamed? Uncle Zhou Zhou, who is called Xue Heng, clearly has malicious intentions. His words deliberately revealed more information for himself to hear, which is equivalent to increasing his own death bargaining chips.
Lu Xiaoshu bit his lip and remained silent, obediently standing behind Zhou Shizhi.
Anyway, she couldn't escape. It depends on whether he will desperately protect his innocent life.
"I haven't forgotten, Second Uncle Xue, and I never dare to forget," Zhou Shizhi's trembling voice sounded dry and feeble, and he said word by word: "But Second Uncle Xue, this has nothing to do with Xiao Shu, she is innocent, all this has nothing to do with She has nothing to do with it! Second Uncle Xue, I believe she will never tell, please forgive her! Xiaoshu, you won't tell, right?"
Zhou Shizhi turned around suddenly, looking eagerly at Lu Xiaoshu.
His eyes were fixed like two bolts of lightning, and Lu Xiaoshu nodded lightly in a daze.
"Second Uncle Xue, you saw, Xiao Shu promised me that she would not—"
"That's enough!" Xue Heng was even more annoyed when he heard Zhou Shizhi's eager voice, and the veins on the back of his hands burst out of anger, and he said sharply: "It's useless to say anything! Anyway, today, she must die! Hmph, You protect her, I want to see how long you can protect her!"
The implication is, I'm in a relationship with you! If you have the ability, you are always on guard against me.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help becoming annoyed for a moment, pushed Zhou Shizhi away, pointed at Xue Heng and scolded: "You are not reasonable! Oh, your life is life in the palace, and mine is Chinese cabbage? You guys You don't have the ability to protect your master, but you blame me, a little girl, you are right! Are you ashamed of a big man? Hmph, I blush for you! You are the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately , and want revenge? Humph, I think it’s a dream! God is watching! God will not help you guys who use the banner of revenge to kill people in vain and commit crimes in vain!”
"It's unreasonable! I'll kill you first!" Xue Heng told her to speak with anger, and swung the long sword at Lu Xiaoshu with a flick of his hand.
Why would Lu Xiaoshu stand there stupidly waiting for him to chop? When she said those words, she was already secretly vigilant, but his sword came too fast, even though she was prepared, she was still startled, "Ah!" and flashed to the side lightly .
"Second Uncle Xue!" Zhou Shizhi was so concerned that he forgot that Lu Xiaoshu was good at martial arts, so he stepped forward to cover her in a hurry.
Xue Heng couldn't catch up, and forcibly turned his direction, and cut Zhou Shizhi's arm with a sword, blood immediately oozed out, staining his sleeve.
Lu Xiaoshu's face turned pale and he avoided it, looking at Zhou Shizhi's injured arm, feeling inexplicable, there was a sour feeling in his nose for a moment.
"A Si!" Du Zhong and Xue Heng were shocked, and rushed forward to check.
Zhou Shizhi raised his hand to cover the wound, and after a while, the gap between his slender and fair fingers was dripping red with blood.
"Second Uncle, please spare Xiaoshu! I beg you, let Xiaoshu go!"
"You!" Seeing that he still cared about Lu Xiaoshu at this moment, Xue Heng couldn't help being angry, annoyed and helplessly heartbroken. The light in his cold eyes was flickering, and the muscles on both cheeks kept twitching, obviously extremely annoyed and aggrieved.
"Second Uncle..." Zhou Shizhi saw that he was so moved that he would not let it go, and continued to plead.
Du Zhong thought for a while and said: "If not, we will take her with us. In this way, she will never leak the secret again! If she really has the tendency to leak the secret in the future, it will not be too late to kill her then. "
Hearing this, Zhou Shizhi felt relieved for some reason, but also secretly pleased, so he nodded without thinking about it.
Xue Heng thought for a while, but reluctantly said: "Forget it, let's do this for now!" He turned his head and stared at Lu Xiaoshu, showing a sinister sneer with white teeth: "You listen carefully to me!" Little girl, I will spare your life for the time being, it’s fine if you are honest, if you dare to play tricks with your uncle, hum! Don’t blame me for being rude!”
Lu Xiaoshu heard the three of them unscrupulously discussing and deciding on her future, completely leaving her body aside, and couldn't help being furious, and said angrily: "You are shameless! How shameless! I am not your slave, what else can you say? What! Don't even think about it! I'm not with you, I have my work to do!"
Lu Xiaoshu turned around and rushed outside.
How could Xue Heng allow her to escape? Leaping up on his toes, he landed lightly and delicately in front of her. Before she could open her mouth to protest or scold, he stretched out his finger to touch in front of her. Lu Xiaoshu opened his eyes wide and slowly He closed it, shook it, and fell limp to the ground.
Before he fell into a coma, apart from cursing these three people as jerks, he had another thought: So the art of acupuncture really exists...
In the raging flames, the three of them left here, rode their horses and galloped, and disappeared into the vast night.
Zhou Shizhi's arm just suffered a little skin trauma and it's not a serious problem, just a simple bandage will be fine. At this moment, Lu Xiaoshu was sitting softly in his arms wrapped in his cloak.
His heart was attached to her, so he naturally refused to let the two uncles take her on a ride.
Staring at his injured arm, Xue Heng had a cold face, while Du Zhong just shook his head with a helpless smile.
When Lu Xiaoshu woke up leisurely, the four of them were resting in the mountains and forests. She rubbed her sore waist and arms and slowly stood up, looking around in a daze.
"Are you awake?" Zhou Shizhi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help laughing, walked towards her and handed her the water bottle, saying softly, "Drink some water, and eat something later, so we can continue on our way."
Lu Xiaoshu jumped up as if stung by a scorpion and backed away from him, pointing angrily at him for his incoherent speech, and yelling at him furiously.
