Chapter 113: Encountered an Ambush, Lu Yan Risked His Life to Protect

Xie Ling: “???”

Xie Ling’s expression was a little strange. Was Master Lu so anxious?

Thinking about it, it made sense. Lu Yan was already 18 years old this year. Other young masters had sons at his age, but Lu Yan was still single. He should be anxious.

But... shouldn’t we ask the Buddha for marriage?

So Xie Ling explained sincerely, "Lu Shizi, when it comes to marriage and offspring, we always pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Lu Yan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. This is Lu Yan's first time to Chenglu Temple. I wonder if Madam knows where Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined?"

Xie Ling knew this, but did not respond directly. Instead, he looked at Shen Qing first, "Qingqing, it's still early. Let's lead the way for Lu Shizi. Do you have something important to do and are in a hurry to return to Beijing?"

Shen Qing shook her head, "No, mother will decide. It just so happens that I haven't worshipped Guanyin Bodhisattva yet."

Xie Ling responded, "Indeed, you have been married to Yangling Marquis' Mansion for a year. It's good to ask the Bodhisattva for an offspring."

Shen Shuyu did not mention much about Yangling Marquis' Mansion to Xie Ling, so Xie Ling did not know Mu Ziqian's true face for the time being.

When Shen Qing heard the word "offspring", his heartbeat suddenly stopped, and he subconsciously glanced at Lu Yan.

She and Mu Ziqian hadn't even consummated their marriage. If she was really pregnant, Mu Ziqian would be pissed to death, right?

Lu Yan was looking at her, with an alluring smile in his eyes, as if to say, 'If Jiaojiao really wants a child, I can help.' Shen Qing's ears turned red, and she quickly retracted her gaze.

Xie Ling felt a little strange looking at the slightly unusual atmosphere between the two, but she didn't think about it in other directions.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined on the southeast side of Chenglu Temple. They walked for about a quarter of an hour and arrived.

Xie Ling already had a son and a daughter. Although Haitang was pretending to be Shen Shuyu at the moment, she really had no request for marriage and offspring, so only Shen Qing and Lu Yan entered the hall.

There were many pilgrims in the hall, and most of them were women. They were either young women seeking offspring or young ladies seeking marriage. Therefore, Lu Yan attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.

Lu Yan turned a blind eye to it. When the pilgrim in front of him inserted the sandalwood in his hand into the incense burner, he took a step forward and knelt on the cushion, raised the sandalwood in his hand to his forehead, closed his eyes and made a pious wish.

He had never knelt before the emperor, but now he was willing to kneel in front of the Bodhisattva, just to be able to grow old with his beloved girl.

Lu Yan silently said in his heart: Bodhisattva, I have no other request, but I hope to be married to the girl beside me. If I can do so, when I return the wish, I am willing to give up half of my family wealth and cast a three-meter-high golden statue for the Bodhisattva to show my sincerity.

Beside Lu Yan, Shen Qing also held sandalwood in his hand, praying in his heart that he could divorce as soon as possible and marry his beloved.

After three bows, the two stood up and respectfully inserted the burning sandalwood in their hands into the incense burner.

When turning around, the veil fluttered, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes with moist black light. When the four eyes met, tenderness quietly filled the air.

The next moment, the two of them withdrew their gazes at the same time, and walked out side by side as if nothing had happened.

After the pilgrimage, several people wanted to return to Shengjing, so they chose to go together.

Three carriages drove towards Shengjing City one after another. The guards of Yangling Marquis's Mansion led the way in front, the guards of Yining Marquis's Mansion guarded the rear, and the guards of Jing'an Prince's Mansion were on both sides, checking the surrounding movements from time to time.

This kind of battle is comparable to the travel of princes and princesses.

It was smooth along the way. At this time, only half of the distance to the city gate was left, and everyone couldn't help but relax a little.

As long as they passed through the woods in front, they would go forward and there would be wide roads.

However, just when they had just passed half of the woods, Li Ze suddenly sensed a faint murderous intent in the air.

"Zheng——"

A sharp sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air sounded, and the next moment, an arrow with a cold Ze shone directly into the carriage beside Li Ze.

Fortunately, Lu Yan's carriage was made of extremely hard ebony, so the arrow tip only penetrated less than half an inch.

But others were not so lucky. As the rain of arrows continued to fall, most of the guards of the three prefectures were killed or injured on the spot.

The door of the carriage was opened from the inside, and Lu Yan jumped out, soaring into the air, and landed steadily on the roof of the carriage where Shen Qing was.

Li Ze followed closely behind, and the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, firmly protected Shen Qing in it.

In the carriage, Shen Qing looked at the arrows that pierced the carriage, and his face turned slightly pale.

This was the first time Shen Qing was assassinated since he grew up.

Haitang's body was shaking a little, but she still stood up to protect Shen Qing. If someone broke in, she would stop them even if she died.

Tuanzi, who had been sleeping all the way, finally woke up, and his blue eyes looked around vigilantly.

"Rustle--"

The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled. The extremely subtle sound on ordinary days seemed particularly clear at this time.

Suddenly, the leaves shook, and countless men in black appeared out of thin air above the crowd, blocking a large area of ​​light like a flock of crows.

Lu Yan's eyebrows were slightly condensed, and his eyes were fixed on the black-clothed men who were approaching.

There was no doubt that they were coming towards Shen Qing.

Lu Yan's wrist moved slightly, and the long sword in his hand had already met the nearest black-clothed man, and a sword pointed directly at the man's heart.

Lize on the other side had also made a move, fighting one against five without losing the wind.

Fu Yi pushed Chan Yi into the carriage, and then drew the soft sword from his waist, tapped his toes lightly, and stabbed directly at the black-clothed man who intended to approach the carriage where Shen Qing was.

Although the three men were all good at martial arts, there were too many men in black, and each of them was better than the average guards, so the battle became more and more intense.

The scene was in chaos, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

At this moment, a man in black suddenly rushed out from the other side, and the long sword in his hand stabbed straight into the carriage.

Lu Yan noticed the movement here, flew into the air, and the long sword in his hand shot out like a hidden weapon, directly cutting off the sword in the hand of the man in black.

The man in black's arm was numb, and the broken sword slipped out of his hand, but the next moment he took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed into the carriage again.

Seeing Shen Qing in danger, Lu Yan's pupils shrank sharply, and he threw Yun Xiaoxiao's instructions behind his head. His vigorous internal force burst out, and he used light skills to force the man in black at a very fast speed. When the man in black was about to enter the carriage, he kicked him hard in the head.

The black-clothed man was killed on the spot, and most of his body fell into the carriage. His eyes, which had not yet closed, stared at Shen Qing in the carriage.

Shen Qing's heart suddenly stagnated, and his body instantly tensed up.

After calming down for a moment, Shen Qing bravely stood up, kicked the black-clothed man who had already died out of the carriage, and then closed the carriage door again.

Then he lifted a corner of the curtain and quietly looked at the situation outside.

The ground was full of corpses of the black-clothed man and the guards of the three palaces and body parts of unknown origin. Shen Qing couldn't help but feel a little numb when he saw the bloody scene.

Outside the carriage.

Lu Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke softly to the carriage: "Jiaojiao, stay in the carriage at ease, don't come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clothed men who had just confronted Lu Yan had already killed him.

Lu Yan smiled, picked up a long sword from the ground, and went straight to meet the few people.
