Chapter 79: Assassination
After getting off the boat, Rong Zhi saw that Li Shengxi's expression was as usual, and the doubts that he originally held down appeared.
But when he saw the plate of intact green plum preserves, he already understood why Li Shengxi was still pale but didn't have a rash. However, he still couldn't help but ask, "What's in the medicinal soup just now?"
For the efficacy of the medicine, I added some more Coptis chinensis, but it was very bitter, so I asked someone to prepare candied fruit for the lady, why didn’t the lady use it before?"
Li Shengxi listened to Rong Zhi's seemingly concerned words, but she was thinking about how to beat him up. She smiled softly and said, "I haven't been able to eat green plums since I was a child. Whenever I eat them, I feel sick and have rashes on my face. So
Never taken."
Rong Zhi pretended not to know, "Is that so? Fortunately, the lady has not eaten it, otherwise Rong would have trouble sleeping and eating. However, since the lady cannot use candied green plums, she should ask someone to come out and ask for replacement.
One plate is enough."
Li Shengxi shook his head, "My husband sent someone to boil medicine for my concubine. It's already a nuisance, so why bother anymore? It's just a little bitter, so there's nothing I can't drink."
"Madam, you are too polite." Rong Zhi sighed, feeling relieved with mixed feelings in his heart.
Because Li Shengxi's driver and groom were on the other side, Rongzhi took on the important task of sending Li Shengxi home.
Because there were differences between men and women, and there was only one carriage, Rongzhi sat outside and acted as coachman.
Although Li Shengxi was not seasick, she was not much better after being tortured by Rong Zhi. After finally getting off the boat, she didn't want to say anything and closed her eyes in the carriage to relax.
It's just that God doesn't seem to want her to be at peace.
Rong Zhi had made an appointment with Li Sheng to have lunch. After all this trouble, it was already approaching evening when he returned to Qingquan Villa. It happened to rain again at this time, and the sky became darker little by little.
Li Shengxi was vigilant by nature. The enemy was helping her pull the car. She couldn't sleep no matter what. Although she was in the car, she was aware of the movement of the car. Therefore, when the car stopped, she felt it almost instantly.
arrive.
"What's wrong? Rong Langjun?" Li Shengxi asked in confusion. Just as she was about to open the car door, she was stopped by someone outside. She couldn't push the door open no matter what.
"Don't come out." Rong Zhi looked at the people in the rain with a gloomy face. They were dressed as ordinary mountain people, holding various weapons in their hands, and their eyes were gloomy and sharp. At first glance, they looked like bandits, but Rong Zhi had a vague feeling that it would not be that simple.
.
Li Shengxi and Liu Jin, who were sitting in the carriage, looked at each other, both puzzled.
Li Shengxi carefully opened a corner of the car curtain and looked into a pair of fierce eyes.
This is for her.
The moment he saw those eyes, Li Shengxi had this idea in his mind.
Those eyes were flashing with murderous intent and fierceness. They were not only here for her, but also to kill her.
Li Shengxi lowered the curtain, and Liu Jin hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?"
"There are thieves outside." Li Shengxi's voice was uneasy, as if she was extremely scared, but her expression was extremely calm. She touched the ring in her hand and silently uttered the word "kill".
Liu Jin frowned.
"Testing?" she asked in a low voice.
Li Shengxi shook his head, this was not in line with Rong Zhi's style.
Rong Zhi is a person who is unwilling to harm innocent people. He will not be tempted to kill someone until her identity is confirmed.
Rong Zhi, who was outside the car, didn't know what the two people were planning. He saw that the person coming was not good, so he had already pulled out the dagger in his sleeve, but he put his hand behind his back, so no one knew.
After paying homage first, he looked at the group of people in front with a smile, "What can I do for you guys?"
However, the group of people didn't want Rong Zhi to talk nonsense and went straight towards the carriage. Rong Zhi frowned and quickly took out his dagger and started fighting with the intruder.
To be fair, Rong Zhi's martial arts skills are extremely high. It is not difficult to deal with these people, but those people are not weak either, and their target is not Rong Zhi. In other words, it is not just Rong Zhi, but also the carriage behind Rong Zhi.
He had to take care of the carriage, and there was only one person, so he was inevitably a little overwhelmed. Rong Zhi was glad for a moment that because of today's temptation, the people Li Sheng attacked were still on the other side of the Wanjiang River. Otherwise, he would not have been able to protect many of them with his own strength.
people.
The carriage shook violently, and women's screams could be heard from time to time. However, the two people in the carriage who should have been panicking became calmer than the other.
Li Sheng grabbed the carriage wall tightly, gently opened a corner of the carriage curtain, and carefully stared at the situation outside.
Every move of that group of people was a killing move, but it was not difficult to see that although they were merciless to Rong Zhi, their main purpose was to come for the carriage.
Li Shengxi toggled his ring from time to time, secretly helping Rongzhi.
However, Rong Zhi was restrained by the carriage, and Li Shengxi was also restrained by the carriage. Neither of them could try their best. For a while, the group of "bandits" had the upper hand.
In order to prevent the group of people from attacking Li Sheng in the carriage, Rong Zhi grabbed someone's long knife and stood on the roof of the carriage. For a moment, the small carriage seemed to have turned into a ring, and Rong Zhi became
The person who keeps the ring.
But that group of people were not ordinary bandits. Seeing that the carriage could not be moved for a while, they stabbed the horse ruthlessly.
Accompanied by a violent neighing, the horse raised its hooves, and the entire carriage crashed to the ground. Rong Zhi was startled and jumped out of the carriage in a hurry.
Li Shengxi and Liu Jin, who were in the carriage, also rolled out of the carriage door.
Rong Zhi hurriedly dropped his sword on the ground and pulled the two of them up, one on the left and the other on the right. He protected them behind him and was about to pick up the fallen sword on the ground, but he lost the opportunity and the other party was facing him with a sword.
"Rong Lang——"
Li Shengxi exclaimed, Rong Zhi quickly got up, but his arm was still slashed.
Rong Zhi looked at Li Shengxi and said, "I'll hold them back, and you two ladies should run away quickly."
Li Shengxi shook his head, but Liu Jin couldn't believe it.
"Let's go quickly. If you two stay here, it will only distract Rong." Although this was not pleasant to hear, it was the truth. If he was alone, it would not be difficult to deal with them.
Li Shengxi still looked hesitant. She looked at Liu Jin, who understood, and immediately pulled Li Shengxi and ran away.
This group of people came here just for Li Shengqi, so how could they let Li Shengqi go as they wanted.
He hurriedly caught up with him, but Rong Zhi stopped him while picking up the knife. Li Sheng didn't even run two steps. When he turned around, he saw Rong Zhi covered with wounds.
He swung his knife like a flower, but after killing two people, he was stabbed again. His body trembled, and he barely managed to steady himself with the knife on his side, but at this moment he was completely at a disadvantage.
The group of thieves left one or two to deal with Rong Zhi, while the rest rushed towards Li Shengxi.
Li Shengxi looked calmly, flipping the ring in her hand, and after stunning Rong Zhi and the two people beside him, she casually picked up a branch.
Now, it was time for her to take action.
