Chapter 219 Who Should I Hate
night.
Xiao Zhengdu left in a panic as if he was escaping.
A candle was lit in the room at some point. Lou Xiao was still sitting cross-legged on the couch with her eyes closed. Doctor Bian had already examined her. In addition to taking medicine, she also had to regulate her internal energy.
Er Liu reported in a low voice in the corner, "Miss, the Yue family has set up a banquet in the main hall, and Yue Pengyu has come specially to invite you and King Youshan to attend the banquet."
"They still have time to hold a banquet." Lou Xiao asked about Xiao Zhengdu's whereabouts, "Has King Youshan gone?"
"Your Highness is busy looking at the account books, I don't think he will go."
Then she didn't need to go, "Just reject it."
"Yes."
Not long after, Er Liu came back to report, "Miss, Yue Pengyu wants to see you. He wants to thank you for asking Doctor Bian to save Yue Tianci. He has woken up."
"Don't worry about such a small matter. Tell her she doesn't need to see them anymore." She didn't want to see the Yue family again, so she refused.
Maybe Yue Pengyu is a simple person, but when he thought about Yue Kun's eagerness to push his own child out to convict him in an attempt to clear himself,
She developed a dislike for the entire family.
At this time, Yue Pengyu outside seemed to know what she was thinking and shouted loudly, fearing that she could not hear him.
"I, Yue Pengyu, request to see the Lord Zhenguogong!"
It is imperative to see her.
Lou Xiao was silent for a moment, exhaled, took the sword from the table and got off the couch, "Let's go and meet her."
She didn't think it was as simple as just saying thank you.
Outside Yanchang Courtyard, Yue Pengyu looked up at the crescent moon in the sky.
There was still the smell of blood in the air. After Yue Tianci woke up, she couldn't help but think of the chivalrous men who were killed by the sword of the Duke of Zhenguo.
She couldn't ignore it.
Hengjian Villa was surrounded and the bodies could not be buried.
No one knows how long their bodies will remain exposed, and what those who are still alive are thinking.
They all rushed forward for her, Yue Pengyu.
She had to make an attitude.
The gate of Yanchang Courtyard opened. Although Yue Pengyu was the master of the house, he felt that everything was very strange.
Once again, I stepped into this place, perhaps the ground beneath my feet was soaked with blood.
In the dim candlelight, Duke Zhenguo Lou Xiao sat in front of the koi pond in the courtyard with his head supported by one hand, just as nonchalant as before.
Yue Pengyu couldn't help but think of the first time he saw her. The two of them were fighting on the Luoyang pleasure boat and they had admired each other.
She saved Yue Tianci who was almost attacked. Was it intentional?
Lou Xiao looked up at Yue Pengyu who was walking slowly towards him, and motioned for her to sit in front of him.
"What happened to Yue Tianci?"
Yue Pengyu pretended not to understand, stood up and bowed, "My Lord, I have woken up, but I am weak and I don't see how I was injured."
Lou Xiao thought that he had vomited blood for no reason, so he just said, "Then just keep it.
What on earth do you want to see me for?"
Her straightforwardness made Yue Pengyu pause. Looking at Yue Pengyu's expression, it was obvious that he was not here to invite her to the banquet.
"Or do you want to plead for Yue Zhanchi?"
Yue Pengyu hurriedly shook his head, "No... Your Excellency, if he really made a serious mistake, you will punish him. We will never plead for traitors."
Why?
Yue Pengyu saw the questioning look in Lou Xiao's eyes and finally asked, "...Sir, were you the one who killed those chivalrous warriors in the manor today?"
It turned out to be the case.
Lou Xiao understood and said, "It's me. Do you want to seek justice for them?"
How could she tell Yue Pengyu that they were the ones who besieged her first, and that although she was wrong for failing in self-defense, she did not regret it.
Lou Xiao was also very clear that she was in a somewhat out-of-control state at the beginning. She didn't have to kill so many people. Maybe she could scare a group of people away by just injuring them.
"I have been in the underworld for many years and have a close relationship with them like brothers and sisters. They also regard me as their family and have a deep affection for me.
I never thought that they would die by the sword today, and I don’t know who to blame for this.”
Yue Pengyu's eyes were sparkling. "Sir, who do you think I should hate?"
"You can hate me." Lou Xiao picked up the sword and stood up, "If you want revenge, just come here."
She was too lazy to defend herself.
Jianghu matters, Jianghu matter.
She holds the lives of people Yue Pengyu values in her hands. If he is afraid of her identity and dares not say a word, he is not Yue Pengyu.
The four words "jianghu hero" sound cool, but in fact, how much does one have to bear in order to be called a hero willingly?
This is also the reason why she would not mingle with the underworld after she came down the mountain. There were too many grudges and love affairs, which also caused many troubles and damaged her state of mind.
Lou Xiao's words and deeds are straightforward, and are a solid example of the underworld.
Although she was the Duke of Zhenguo, she did not have the complicated thoughts of people in the imperial court. Many words in Yue Pengyu's mind were blocked by her, and there was no point in saying more.
Yue Pengyu also drew out his sword and fought with her.
At the beginning, they both tacitly agreed not to use all their strength, and Lou Xiao could even talk to her during the break.
"You are the boss of Hengjian Villa, but you don't participate in the family's internal affairs at all?"
She wasn't doubting her, she was just asking reasonable questions.
"Someone at home is in charge of domestic affairs, and I only need to go out and fight. This is what my father told me."
As the two figures crossed, there was a crisp sound of swords colliding.
Yue Pengyu is worthy of being regarded as the face of Hengjian Villa. His strength is naturally not bad.
Lou Xiao used her luck, tapped the water surface with her toes, jumped up and backed away, her hair flying, and smiled at Yue Pengyu who was chasing after her.
"It's been a long time since I met an opponent like you. It would be a waste of time if we just play around."
She suddenly changed her sword's momentum, her brows stern, "Yue Pengyu, be careful!"
The Yanchang Courtyard suddenly became solemn and cold, the air was stagnant, even the living creatures in the grass dared not make a sound, and the lively koi fish during the day also hid in the depths of the pond, not daring to show their heads.
Yue Pengyu only felt that thousands of sword lights were approaching her in an instant, oppressing her so much that she couldn't breathe.
She stood with her sword horizontally, her arm went numb, and she blocked Lou Xiao's fatal sword.
But he soon sensed a change in strategy, and a sword swept over him. If he didn't dodge, he would be cut in half.
So fast!
Are the heroes of today's world dying at the hands of such swords?
Yue Pengyu had to concentrate all his energy and fight back, but he found that she could only barely cope with it and avoid being killed.
There was not even a chance to counterattack.
Even so, she was not blushing or panting, but became more and more excited. Yue Pengyu saw her slightly trembling pupils.
There is no emotion in it anymore, it's like a killing machine.
Can't beat it.
Yue Pengyu quickly retreated following her force, and when he looked up at Lou Xiao again,
But he saw Lou Xiao stopped abruptly and did not continue to attack.
She is so young, where did she get her martial arts skills?
Who could cultivate such a talent, yet she remained silent for so many years and no one even knew her name?
