Chapter 103 Help
Halfway down the mountain, Xia Zihan in the carriage heard the sounds of fighting and the frightened screams of a woman.
"Master, there is the sound of fighting ahead." Chu Lin curiously lifted the curtains of the car and stuck her head out to take a look.
"Go out and take a look." Xia Zihan said, and whispered to her, "Rescue the person."
"Yes."
Then he excused himself to Mrs. Zeng, lifted the curtain of the car, and walked out.
The convoy stopped. The four guards of the Chu family who were riding at the front tightened their horse ropes and guarded the front of the carriage. The convoy of the Liao family who followed them also stopped after hearing something wrong. Several guards closely guarded Mrs. Liao's carriage.
Not far ahead, a mother-in-law and a maid, protecting a woman with disheveled hair, were rolling and crawling towards this side.
Seeing someone in front of them, their desperate eyes burst with hope and they shouted for help.
A man in black chased after them, brandishing a machete.
But in the blink of an eye, the maid who was chased was slashed on her back to protect her master, and blood spurted out. She took the opportunity to hug the man in black's legs with her hands, and shouted to the woman, "Madam, Run quickly, run quickly..."
The man in black had a cold look in his eyes, raised his sword, and plunged it into the maid's chest.
The maid vomited blood, her eyes widened, and she refused to close her eyes. She held the hands of the man in black and refused to let go until she died.
The man in black raised his knife again.
The arm was chopped off. The man in black flicked his leg and the severed arm flew out.
The mother-in-law and the woman were so frightened that they screamed and ran here desperately.
The Chu family guards looked at him warily, making no move to save anyone.
Judging from the man in black's hand, he is obviously a killer. Once a killer like this receives a mission, he will never die.
Therefore, they will not take action casually and put their master in danger. Just when the man in black caught up with the woman again and raised his sword high, Chu Lin jumped out of the carriage. Seeing that the woman was in an emergency, she said urgently, "My little master has an order, please save her quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took the lead and ran over.
But it was still a step too late, and the big knife chopped down.
"Madam, be careful..." The mother-in-law turned pale with fright and threw herself on the woman. The blood from her back, which was about to be cut in two, spurted out several meters away.
The man in black raised his foot to kick the old woman away, then raised the knife again... Chu Lin quickly took out a piece of broken silver from her purse and flicked her fingers.
The broadsword was deflected by the silver bullet, and struck the woman's cheek. The woman turned pale with fright, and even forgot to scream.
When the man in black raised his knife again, Chu Lin was already there, and the two men started fighting instantly.
The Chu family's guards arrived shortly after, and several of them surrounded one person.
Chu Lin withdrew from the battlefield, helped the woman up and put her on the carriage, "Master, we have been rescued."
When Xia Zihan and Zeng got out of the carriage, they saw that the woman was covered in blood and extremely embarrassed. However, although she was a little frightened, she was not injured.
And this woman turned out to be someone she knew.
"Mrs. Cheng?" Zeng's face was full of surprise, but Xia Zihan's expression was calm, as if he had expected to meet Mrs. Cheng.
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as in the previous life.
In a previous life, on the afternoon of August 14th, Mrs. Cheng was instigated by her mother-in-law to go to Dizang Temple to pray for Lieutenant General Cheng and to renew the money for lamps and incense oil. However, she was attacked on the way, and Mrs. Cheng and her maids and wife guards died.
