Looking at the horses that came in the dark, Lu Qing ran to Han Shuo at an extremely fast speed and hid behind a big tree with her arms folded.

"Son, hide your body well. Don't say a word. Do you still have the knife I gave you?"

Han Shuo quickly nodded.

"That's good. You can hold it in your hands now. If anyone approaches you that you don't know, just poke them. Do you understand?"

Han Shuo nodded again, but Lu Qing didn't bother to explain anymore. She hugged Han Shuo and held her breath as they got into a fight.

Xue Yan was leading a team of new veterans and desperately fighting with the people on top of the horses. The sounds of killing could be heard one after another, which was especially ear-piercing in the silent night.

As for the Tong Hua Village, it was like an uninhabited village, not a single door opened.

Lu Qing took out her pair of fingers from the bedroll and put them on, pushing Han Shuo back into the tree.

The other widowed children were already hiding behind the carriage. Soong Lan, who had been talking to Lu Qing, was still feeding the children. However, her entire body was trembling. She was obviously terrified.

Beyond them, Lu Qing saw the situation.

Those people had already jumped down from their horses with machetes in hand. Their movements were quite nimble. It was obvious that they were not ordinary robbers. In just two minutes, several soldiers had been wounded by their machete.

That marquis called Xue Yan was really strong in martial arts. Lu Qing's previous judgement was correct. She was right not to attack at the time, otherwise, who knew what the result would be.

In just a short moment, three people had died under his sword, another person had been besieged and killed by the other soldiers, and the last remaining one … He fled towards the big tree!

Lu Qing gritted her teeth. How could she not run? She was actually heading this way. She was blind!

A bloody machete appeared right in front of her. Lu Qing kicked Han Shuo aside and clenched her fist. When the person turned his head towards her and was about to swing his machete, she punched him squarely in the throat.

Crack! Crack!

The sound was very soft, but it was soon followed by the sound of a person kneeling on the ground. His eyes were wide open and his mouth made a 'chi chi' sound, before falling down while clutching his throat.

Lu Qing quickly pulled Han Shuo up, covered his eyes and let him go to the cart.

Xue Yan chased him to the tree, where the thief was already lying on the ground, breathing in and out more.

Her phoenix-like eyes swept over Lu Qing who was waiting for the thief to die. She saw Lu Qing's hand on her face.

Lu Qing had already tucked her hands into her sleeves and secretly slipped her fingers into the hole in the tree.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beauty before?"

"Hold out your hand." Xue Yan was still looking at Lu Qing's sleeves and his eyes narrowed.

Lu Qing obediently stretched out her hands, but other than a little rough, there was nothing in them.

Xue Yan's gaze shifted to Lu Qing's face. After staring at her for a while, he started to get closer.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that handsome face getting closer, Lu Qing couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

This guy without a helmet looks really cool!

"Qiang Clan deserters, entering the countryside to become bandits, it seems that you have come here quite a few times, have you guys actually never met them before?"

Xue Yan leaned in closer and his warm breath hit Lu Qing's face.

"No …." No, probably... "We're too poor …"

Lu Qing began to speak incoherently.

"Indeed, they are quite poor. They have already become widows and have not even grown a few taels of flesh."

F * ck! This fellow must have heard Widow Wang's mockery. It was his grandfather's!

The affability level instantly dropped and Lu Qing's expression returned to normal. However, she also realized that Xue Yan was too close to her. This was a very dangerous distance …

Lu Qing moved her hands and was about to push Xue Yan away, but in the next instant, her arms were restrained by Xue Yan.

"Let me see what you're hiding on your body!"

With that, Xue Yan's hand directly went into Lu Qing's sleeve.
