Chapter 207 Interesting Things
The two met in front of the Xiao family's door, looked at each other, and smiled.
The tacit understanding between husband and wife is so simple.
The air was filled with a strong stench of blood. Although Lu Sen felt a little nauseous, after all, it was his first time to kill someone in the true sense, so he was a little uncomfortable. But it was not a big problem. He just had to bear it. He didn't want to vomit.
Zhao Bilian felt even more relaxed.
In her mind, anyone who dares to hurt her family or her husband is a bad person.
The death of bad guys is not a pity, they are no different from chickens and dogs.
She could even say to Lu Sen with a smile: "Sir, I killed at least thirty people."
Lu Sen's number is almost the same.
There is just a slight difference between the two. Zhao Bilian's body was killed by a single blow, with multiple blood holes on the body, so it could barely be considered an intact corpse.
As for Lu Sen's side... the dead body was almost cut into two pieces, and the body was not very "symmetrical" because Lu Sen was not very good at using a knife. Although he had learned from Yang Jinhua for a while, he did not have in-depth training.
He used the Pofeng knife technique, or to put it bluntly, it was just a blind chop.
The reason he could achieve this record was entirely due to his strong body and sharp sword. Others could not hit him, but with one strike of his sword, the opponent, including the person and the shield, was cut in half. This was definitely a crushing victory with his hard "attribute".
Watching the soldiers on both sides fleeing in panic, Lu Xianxian put her hands in her sleeves, walked over, and said with a smile: "Since it has come to this, why don't we go in."
After she finished speaking, she raised her chin and looked towards the Xiao family's gate opposite.
The three men were not afraid of being wanted. They still had beards on their bodies for camouflage, so others could not see their faces clearly.
The door of the Xiao family had been closed at some point, and there was a faint sound of wood hitting the door from inside, probably because someone was using wooden stakes to prop up the door from the inside.
I guess the Xiao family's doorman was also scared to death by this scene.
Who wouldn't be afraid to see a trail of blood and corpses all over the ground in front of your own house?
The three were talking here, and suddenly someone interrupted: "Thank you three brothers for saving us."
The person who spoke was the middle-aged monk Wei Zhen. He and several other people came up and saluted with fists.
Lu Sen was a little surprised, turned his head and asked: "You haven't left yet?"
"The three brothers started killing people because of us. How can we just walk away?" Wei Zhen said with a proud smile: "Although we also want to survive, we will not do such an ungrateful thing as abandoning our benefactors."
"That's right."
"If the three brothers want to break into the Xiao Mansion, we will definitely follow you."
"If we can kill the surrendered officials, we can also kill the Khitan royal family members."
The white-browed young man also looked at Lu Sen and Zhao Bilian with admiration.
Because he looked different to outsiders every time he took off and put on his beard, Wei Zhen and the white-browed boy Xu Liang did not recognize Lu Sen.
Seeing them like this, Lu Sen waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Go away quickly, don't make trouble, you will drag us down."
"It's true that we are not as skilled as you three, but an extra pair of fists means an extra help..." Monk Wei Zhen spoke passionately.
Lu Sen interrupted him again: "I told you to leave quickly. What we are going to do is none of your business!"
This is already very cruel.
The expressions of several knights from the Central Plains were somewhat uncomfortable, and they also felt that they were being looked down upon.
But what the other party said was indeed the truth.
It was already like this for a few people just to avoid two teams of Khitan soldiers.
If more enemies come, they will definitely die here.
At that moment, several people looked at each other. In the end, it was Wei Zhen who made the decision. He said awkwardly: "Since the three brothers do not want us to help, then we will take our leave first. The road ahead is long, and we will meet again later."
After saying that, several people used Qinggong to jump onto the roof and left quickly.
After they left, Lu Sen breathed a sigh of relief.
He took the time to look at his system interface and found that the durability of the steel armor had decreased by more than 800 points.
The total durability of the steel armor is 9500, but now it is only a little over 8600 left.
It seems like a lot, but if you calculate it carefully, if the other side comes with two or three times as many people and fights to the death, then the only one who will retreat is Lu Sen.
As expected, it is difficult for me, who is only at Level 4, to be invincible on the battlefield.
Zhao Bilian is in a similar situation. She has the protective jewelry given by Lu Sen, which can greatly reduce the physical attacks, but it does not make her completely painless.
As long as the enemy's attack is strong enough to break the defense, any ordinary warrior can do it easily.
Moreover, some powerful crossbows and bows can tear through the protection of the accessories and hurt her, of course, they are only superficial injuries.
Now Zhao Bilian is completely immune to attacks, mainly because of the protection from the accessories, and the remaining impacts were all "removed" by her spiritual energy.
But outside, spiritual energy cannot be restored on its own, so Zhao Bilian now only has about half of her spiritual energy left.
She also has no way of being invincible on the battlefield and cannot truly be one man against a thousand.
After Lu Sen finished looking at his system, he brought the two women to the gate of the Xiao family.
Looking at the thick black door with a very smooth paint surface, Lu Sen asked, "This door panel is so large, and the paint used is expensive, I guess the wood must be very important."
Lu Xianxian twitched her nose and said, "Agarwood!"
"Luxury." Lu Sen said admiringly, "It's worthy of a family that can always produce queens."
Lu Xianxian gave Lu Sen a displeased look.
In her opinion, there were too many rare treasures in her home. Even the honey water that outsiders thought could keep people alive was something her family could eat at will.
They also eat fruits that can cure all kinds of diseases.
This is the real 'waste'.
This is the real luxury.
But she naturally wouldn't say that.
Lu Sen knocked on the door three times and waited for a while. Seeing no response from inside, he said, "Bilian, use the sword control technique to break the door open."
"OK."
Without Bilian making any throwing movements, the sword behind her moved on its own, turning into a silver light and waving at the gate a few times.
In the next half second, the two huge wooden doors broke into dozens of pieces and fell down.
A group of densely packed soldiers were revealed in the door, and there should be more than a hundred of them.
Moreover, they were all wearing armor, holding shields and spears, forming a spear formation.
Logically speaking, with so many of them and such elite troops, they should be very powerful, but when they saw the flying sword, everyone's expressions became ugly.
In fact, not long ago, many archers who were lying on the wall and shooting arrows were frightened by this sword.
Seeing it again now, my legs are shaking with fear.
In the feudal era, many people believed in ghosts and gods. When seeing such a situation, how could they not know that the person in front of them was most likely a god.
So... when they saw the door being split open and saw Lu Sen and the other two, they were so scared that they all took a step back.
Lu Sen frowned. It was not difficult to kill more than a hundred people. The couple did suffer some losses, but the problem was that there was a vixen standing next to them.
Although it was not convenient for Lu Xianxian to take action because she had to conserve her spiritual energy, it did not mean that she had no fighting ability. On the contrary, her fighting power was too strong, and any slight move would result in an exaggerated scene, which naturally meant a huge consumption of spiritual energy.
Just as Lu Sen was considering whether to let Lu Xianxian take action, a man dressed in the clothes of a Song Dynasty scholar squeezed out from the army formation. He bowed and said in not very standard Song dialect: "Three immortals, may I ask what brings you to our Xiao family?"
His voice was trembling a little, but he still suppressed his fear and faced the three people.
Lu Sen thought for a moment and said with a smile, "We wanted to meet the Xiao family's head before, but we were driven away. Later, we were wronged and misunderstood outside, so we killed some people. We were a little excited, so we thought we might as well visit the Xiao family's head again. Are you willing to help inform us now?"
"Please wait a moment, my three lords. I will go and ask the head of the family for instructions."
The time goes back to about an incense stick of time ago.
Queen Xiao Rongrong was chatting with her parents and elders in the main hall, and she was very happy.
She has not left the palace for two years since she became the queen. This time, with the emperor's permission, she went home to reunite with her family. At the same time, the emperor secretly ordered her to bring some very important information to the Xiao family so that the two sides could cooperate with each other in the court.
As we were talking about this, we heard a loud noise outside.
"Why all the noise?"
Seeing that the queen was unhappy, Butler Xiao trotted out, but soon ran back. He bent down and said, "Queen, the people from Zuo Feilong Court are catching the assassin outside and have surrounded them."
"This assassination is indeed troublesome. The Song officials are incompetent and cowardly, but these civilians are extremely daring. I heard from the emperor that they only caused trouble on the border before, but then they kept going north, and now they even dare to mess with us in the capital." The queen sighed and said, "Housekeeper, go and inform Deputy Envoy Zhang and ask them to help the brothers of Zuo Feilongyuan to arrest these thieves as soon as possible."
"Yes, madam."
The butler ran out quickly.
"Your Majesty..." The only middle-aged man in the hall spoke with a smile.
"Father, I've told you not to address me like that, it's awkward. You are my lord, and you will always be my lord." Xiao Rongrong smiled as she spoke. Not only was she pretty, but her voice was also very pleasant, sweet and crisp: "Although the Song people are timid, they are well-educated and well-mannered. The Song scholars all said: Blood relatives? Are marquises more respected? Blood relatives are more respected than marquises. The emperor of the Song people would also kneel and pay their respects to the emperor and the empress dowager when they saw them. The emperor's golden knees were like this, let alone a woman like me."
"But……"
"My lord, just call me Rong'er as you always did." Empress Xiao smiled sweetly.
The middle-aged man looked at his daughter with great satisfaction.
At this time, the housekeeper ran in again, but this time he was a little anxious. He wiped the sweat off his face and said, "It's not good, Madam, and the master of the family, there are three evil people outside, very powerful, and they have killed many masters of Feilongyuan."
"How many people from Feilong Academy are coming?" Xiao Rongrong's face changed and she stood up.
"At least two hundred people."
"How could this be possible? Two hundred people couldn't take down three people?" Xiao Rongrong exclaimed, and then asked, "Are those three people important people?"
“It looks ordinary.”
"Let's go and take another look at the situation." Xiao Rongrong waved her sleeves, with a hint of domineering on her dignified face.
After the housekeeper ran out, Xiao Rongrong sat down again. She looked at the nervous middle-aged man and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sir. The knights of the Song Dynasty are brave and can defeat enemies that are several times their number with just their blood and energy. However, blood and energy will be consumed. It is estimated that they will soon be exhausted and surrender."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I think so too."
After the conversation, the atmosphere was still a little awkward. Several aunts kept looking outside, fearing that enemies would rush in.
Seeing this, Xiao Rongrong decided to distract the others' attention by chatting: "Speaking of which, Qi'er is now three years old and has grown into a chubby boy. Can anyone help her find a little girl in our Xiao family who is compatible with him in terms of birth date and time? Let's get together first."
The Xiao family is very large. Not to mention the main branch with more than 200 people, the side branches alone have about 2,000 to 3,000 people. It is very easy to find a little girl with the surname Xiao who is within the fifth degree of mourning. There is no need to worry about the problem of close relative marriage.
Xiao Rongrong's family was also from a branch line, but when Xiao Rongrong became the queen, her father was included in the family tree and was changed from a branch line to a member of the main line.
"Qi'er is only three years old, and you're thinking so far ahead?" The middle-aged man laughed.
The other women in the hall also laughed.
"I have even thought about how my grandson will be born. I will take care of him when the time comes. When I think about him calling me Aunt Rong, I smile even in my dreams."
Now everyone started laughing.
The cold atmosphere suddenly improved.
And then... God didn't seem to want her to have too smooth a time.
The housekeeper rushed in at this time and shouted, "Madam, Master, something bad has happened, something bad has happened."
Everyone in the hall was changing color.
"Don't worry, what happened?" Xiao Rongrong forced herself to remain calm.
"The guards that the queen brought also participated in the battle, but those two Song people were weird, they were ghosts. They were invulnerable to swords and spears, and they also had a magic sword that could fly. All the masters of Feilong Academy were killed. Then they hacked left and right, and there was blood and heads everywhere. The street outside the gate was soaked with blood and turned into a sea of blood. There was no leader, and everyone fled."
The butler was so frightened that his face turned pale and his words were incoherent, and everyone in the hall looked confused.
But it didn’t matter. No matter whether they understood it clearly or not, at least they understood one thing, that is, Feilongyuan was defeated.
"How could this be!" Xiao Kongkong bit her inner lip softly, and subconsciously grabbed the edge of her skirt with her right hand: "Order the guards to form a formation and keep the enemy out."
The middle-aged man stood up and said, "Rong'er, you are the queen, nothing can happen to you, leave quickly through the secret passage. I will go to the living room to block them."
"Logically, I should stand with you, my Lord." Xiao Rongrong looked at her father sadly, "But I am the queen. If I am captured, it will be a loss to the state."
"I understand."
The middle-aged man clasped his fists and left with a smile.
Two maids came up and helped Xiao Rongrong walk towards the back house.
On Lu Sen's side, three people followed the middle-aged scholar towards the living room. More than a hundred elite soldiers were divided into two rows to "escort" them.
At this moment, Lu Xianxian suddenly exclaimed, "My dear, I found something interesting. Let's go check it out first, before it runs away."
After saying that, he took off into the air and flew to the backyard in the surprised eyes of everyone.
