Chapter 015: Encountered Assassination
When we arrived at Pingshan Temple, Lu Qingxi had already picked about 200 kilograms of mushrooms, and the followers and servants of the Xiaoyao Palace took them up the mountain.
Although there are a lot of mushrooms, they also have many people, not to mention that the entourage guards in the royal palace are basically martial arts practitioners, and it is very easy for them to get dozens of kilograms of mushrooms each.
Pingshan Temple is not a well-known big temple, and the road up the mountain is difficult to walk, so there are not many pilgrims on weekdays, and recently only people from the Xiaoyao Palace have come.
As early as yesterday, Lu Muchen had sent someone to Pingshan Temple to do everything, so when they arrived, the temple host came to greet him when he heard the news.
"Dear donors, it's been hard for you to go up the mountain. The temple has prepared a wing room for you. The donors can go to the wing room for rest. If you have any needs, please instruct the monks in the temple."
"Thank you, the host. We will stay in the temple for a few days, so I'm upset." Lu Muchen said a few politely and politely to the host and asked someone to go to the wing room to clean up, and then everyone found a place to rest.
Because Lu Qingxi and climbed the mountain, it was already late when they arrived at Pingshan Temple, so everyone had to eat the vegetarian food in the temple and rested.
When everyone was asleep, Lu Qingxi went to the mushroom store next door and directly took half of the mushrooms into the space. She originally wanted to see what the task was like, but someone suddenly slashed her with a knife behind her. If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, the knife would have slashed her.
The visitor was a monk, but he looked like a monk with murderous aura.
The monk couldn't cut Lu Qingxi with one knife, and the monk slashed again.
Lu Qingxi reacted quickly and picked up a bag of mushrooms beside him and smashed them over. While the monk was dealing with the bag of mushrooms, he quickly ran out, shouting, "There are assassins, there are assassins..."
The assassin's reaction was also very fast. He waved the knife in his hand and cut a bag of mushrooms into pieces, then quickly chased out, jumped up from behind, trying to cut Lu Qingxi directly. But at a critical moment, a sword flew over and directly penetrated the monk through his chest and killed the man.
"Xiaoxi, are you okay?" Lu Muchen arrived in time and caught Lu Qingxi, who almost fell down because he ran too fast, with anxiety and worry on his face.
Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise his cute little sister would have been killed.
After Lu Qingxi was saved, he was still in shock, "Brother, I'm fine."
Fortunately, she learned some fist and foot skills from Uncle Nan Yuan since she was a child. She was more sensitive, had a more flexible skill, and had a little courage. Otherwise, she would have been so scared that she didn't even dare to escape and just finished her life.
At this time, there were also shouts from Lu Muning, but because Lu Qingxi had shouted that there was an assassin before, Lu Muning had already woken up, and the entourage guards of the Xiaoyao Palace also appeared in time and subdued the assassin.
However, before this, the assassin had already been hit by Lu Muning's pill and was drowsy. When the guards arrived, he completely fainted and the assassination mission was declared to be failed.
Hearing the shouts from Lu Muning, Lu Muchen held Lu Qingxi with one hand and pulled back the sword inserted into the assassin with the other hand, and rushed to Lu Muning as fast as possible. When he arrived at the scene, he saw that the assassin lying on the ground was fainted and Lu Muning was safe and sound, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Ning, are you okay? It was my negligence. I didn't expect there would be an assassin here, so I was negligent in terms of defense."
Xiao Ning and Xiao Xi are just two little girls. Even though Xiao Xi is a little arrogant, she is very sensible in her work, so neither of them has any life or death revenge and has never been assassinated.
