It was the same night, but it became very gloomy.
The sound of the carriage, the overturning of the wheels, the biting cold wind, the rhythm of the rush was somewhat suffocating.
Li Zhen sat outside the carriage and drove the horse. No matter how he calculated the time, he still couldn't reach Fu 'an City before nightfall. He had already stayed in the mountain temple for some time. In addition to the journey down the mountain, it happened to be dark.
As long as they passed through this forest, they would reach Fu 'an.
It was a little dark inside the carriage. Li Han kept opening the curtains and looking outside, allowing the night wind to blow in.
"Mother, why did we come back here?”Li Han lowered the curtain and asked Murong Li, who was sitting beside him.
"The emperor has given the order, so we have to rush back!”Murong Li sighed.
"The emperor of the Southern Kingdom is surnamed Li, and so am I. Mother, do you think we might be relatives of the emperor?”
"I can't help but spout nonsense. Remember, we are all citizens of the Southern Kingdom, understand?”
" I know, I know. But I really want to know if Fu 'an is as fun as Chengyang District," Li Han said, his eyes already filled with anticipation.
Murong Li shook her head helplessly with a loving smile.
There was originally the reflection of the moon, but now it was covered by dark clouds. The road was a little blurry, not to mention that they hadn't left the forest yet. This made Li Zhen have no choice but to slow down the horse.
However, the horse's footsteps were getting slower and slower, and it was also restless from time to time. Li Zhen looked warily at the restless trees around him. Everything was suspicious. In the end, Li Zhen made the horse stop. His eyes swept back and forth between the trees on both sides, not letting go of any place.
"What's wrong?" Feeling the carriage suddenly stop, Murong Li and Li Han opened the curtain and stuck their heads out. In less than a second, Li Han quickly pushed the mother and son back into the carriage.”
Li Han's little butt hurt from being pushed like this." What's wrong with Father?”As soon as he finished speaking, even Murong Li, who was still confused just now, instantly became vigilant. She held Li Han's mouth and whispered," Shh, don't make a sound!”
Although he didn't know what was going on, Li Han still nodded obediently.
At the same time, dozens of black-clothed men suddenly appeared on both sides of the road. Each of them had their faces covered, and they even had incomparably sharp longswords shining. They blocked Li Zhen's carriage with light steps, startling the horses and letting out a long howl. It was obvious that those black-clothed men were top experts.
Li Zhen pulled the horse's whip to make it quiet. His sharp eyes looked at the men in black, not at all calm like ordinary people.
"Listen, don't come out even if you hear anything, understand?”Murong Li suddenly urged Li Han to agree.
"Mother, what happened? Did something happen outside?" Li Han felt uneasy when he saw his mother's strange change and his father telling them not to come out.
"Listen to mother!" Murong Li frowned and looked at Li Han worriedly." Don't come out!”Murong Li then walked out.
Li Zhen looked at Murong Li unhappily, but Murong Li told him not to worry.
Without wasting a second, the men in black rushed over with swords in their hands. Li Zhen and Murong Li flew down from the carriage. In an instant, the horses became restless and let out a long howl, causing the carriage to take a few steps back. Li Hanfang rolled into a corner and almost cried out in pain.
It was a fight between a group of men in black and two people.
In a few moments, Li Zhen and Murong Li were surrounded by the men in black with their backs facing them. It was obvious that those people were coming for them.
One of the masked men slashed at him with a sword, but Li Zhen dodged it. At the same time, Murong Li kicked the sword away, and the sword fell from the man's hand. Li Zhen caught it and kicked the man far away. Then, all the masked men attacked. This was the official start of the battle.
In the end, they were still outnumbered. Even if they were martial artists, they couldn't escape from one of the top experts, and it was an expert who could kill them.
At this moment, Li Zhen's arm had been stabbed by a sword. He covered the wound with his hand, but it still bled non-stop. He must have cut his pulse. Murong Li's worry was heightened by the dangerous atmosphere around her. Why did these people have to kill them?
Li Han sat quietly in the car. He was very obedient. Even if he heard the noise outside, he held back his curiosity and did not go out. However, he still lifted the car curtains and looked outside, only to see…
"Go, take Han 'er away from here. I'll cover you.”Li Zhen helped Murong Li block the sword and pulled her behind him to protect her.
"Then what about you?" Murong Li said worriedly.
"Don't worry about me first. Our son is more important!”
"No, I can't leave you behind!"
"Hurry up and leave!" Li Zhen pushed Murong Li out of the enemy's encirclement. Immediately, a few black-masked men wanted to chase after her, but they were stopped by Li Zhen's sword.
Even if Murong Li was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to bring him away for the sake of Han 'er's safety.
Murong Li quickly ran back to the side of the carriage, only to find that Li Han had already come out. Her face was numb and she could not come back to her senses.
"Mother, they…want to kill my father!”Han 'er's voice was trembling with excitement, and she almost fell off the carriage. Fortunately, Murong Li supported him and let him sit inside while she jumped onto the carriage and drove the horse in the opposite direction.
"There's actually a child…chase after him! Don't let any of them off!" When the leader saw Li Han, he immediately ordered his brothers to chase after him, but he was stopped by Li Zhen." No one can hurt them!”
With a hiss, the sharp sword pierced through his back and pierced through his abdomen.
Li Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood and looked in disbelief at the sword that had pierced through his abdomen. Under the night sky, it emitted a dark red light that was dripping with blood.
The sword spun in his body once and was pulled out. Even blood splattered out. What kind of pain was it that made Li Zhen kneel on the ground? All the remaining strength was on the sword in his hand.
"Chase!"
"Mother, stop! Father is still there! Father is still there!" Li Han anxiously shook Murong Li's arm, asking her to stop the carriage. How could she not want to stop the carriage to save Li Zhen? But for Han 'er, she had to protect Han' er to a safe place before coming back. So, Master, please, please hold on.
"I don't want to leave Father behind!" Li Han saw that his mother did not stop, so he jumped down from the carriage in a moment of impatience and rolled a few times on the ground.
Murong Li immediately stopped the carriage and ran over to help Li Han up. She asked worriedly," Why are you so silly? Where did you fall?"
Just as Li Han shook his head to indicate that he was fine, there was an obvious bruise on his forehead. The group of men in black rushed over and quickly surrounded Murong Li and the others.
Murong Li shielded Li Han behind her in fear, not allowing anyone to hurt her son.
"Mother?" Li Han looked fearfully at the men in black in the darkness, his hand tightly gripping the corner of Murong Li's clothes as he called out softly.
"Don't be afraid. Mother is here. Mother will protect you!”Murong Li patted his back to reassure him.
"Who are you people?" Murong Li shouted at them, but she saw the sword of a man in black was stained with blood. She thought of the most terrifying thing.
When all the swords came slashing over, Murong Li had already tightly protected Li Han in her arms, using her own body to protect him and block for him!
Was he going to die?
Why didn't he feel any pain, but he could smell the thick smell of blood!
" Father!..." It was Li Han's trembling voice, filled with disbelief and pain.
Li Zhen, who had appeared out of nowhere, blocked those swords for Murong Li and the others. Even the most luxurious clothes were stained with blood.
"Master!" Murong Li's eyes widened as she saw Li Zhen's wound bleeding profusely. She was instantly distracted by worry.
"Father!" Li Han was so scared that he cried, but he didn't cry. He had never seen his father bleed so much. It was all because of these people.
"You're all bad guys. I'm going to kill you!”Li Han was so angry that he wanted to break free from Murong Li's hand, but Murong Li grabbed him tightly.
"Hurry up and leave!" This was the last thing Li Zhen wanted to say to them. He could not resist so many people. The only thing he could do was to use his body to block those swords and stall for time.
"No, I don't want to leave. I want to be with father, father! Father!" Murong Li pulled Li Han away, her heart aching. Even though she was reluctant to leave, she still chose to listen to Li Zhen and dragged Li Han away, who had been struggling for a long time and refused to leave.
When he turned back for the last time, Li Han saw the man swinging his sword at his father's throat…There was a dark red mark on the back of the man's hand, shining in the darkness…
Murong Li placed Li Han on the carriage. Li Han, who had wanted to jump down several times, was stopped by Murong Li. She did not care if she had hurt Li Han.”
Immediately, Li Han quieted down, but he was sobbing so sadly.
Murong Li caressed his face lovingly and carefully studied his face, as if she would not get tired of looking at it a thousand times." Han 'er has to grow up quickly!”As she spoke, Murong Li thought of something and immediately took out a purse from her bosom and stuffed it into Han 'er's palm. She said," You must take good care of this, understand?”
"Yes!" What a heavy response.
"My child!" Murong Li hugged Li Han. She could hear the footsteps of those bastards. Those people were about to catch up.
Murong Li let go of Li Han and wiped his tears." Don't cry, live well!"”After saying that, Murong Li pulled out a thin silver hairpin from her head and stabbed it into the horse's back. As expected, the horse ran forward crazily, twice as fast as before. Li Han, who was sitting outside the carriage, had already rolled into the carriage because of the horse's disorderly galloping.
She knew that Han 'er was calling her, and Han' er must be very afraid. However, she had no choice. She could not accompany him anymore, and she would not have the chance to watch him grow up. In just a short while, the carriage disappeared into the darkness, disappearing from her sight. And the people behind him just happened to catch up.
Murong Li smiled faintly.
A few withered leaves were blown up by the cold wind and fell from the night sky. They floated lightly and buried everything as if nothing had happened.
The horse was driving madly in the dark, unable to stop no matter how hard it tried. Li Han was about to faint from the overturned car, but when he thought of his father.……His will was extremely clear.
Why did it not stop? He was clearly pulling on the leash with all his might, but the horse was still galloping forward like a madman. The horse was too fast for him to jump down like before. But how could he stop? Right, use a knife!
He cut the rope with a knife.
Li Han did not know that the horse was running towards Broken Wood Cliff, which was a bottomless abyss.
Li Han took out a small knife from somewhere and used it to cut the rope tied to the horse's back.
The horse was indeed crazy. Perhaps it had been stung by the pain, but it actually ran over the cliff in front of it. Li Han didn't notice either.
There was no road ahead, and the rope tied to the horse's back was finally cut open. With a clang, the front hooves of the carriage knelt down, and the ground was covered in gravel. Li Han almost rolled off the carriage. A second later, the horse fell off the cliff with a long cry.
It had not stopped because the wheels of the carriage were still rolling forward on the ground.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind came from the cliff, causing Li Han to shiver. Cold sweat crawled up his forehead.
Was he going to fall?
One of the wheels was blocked by a large rock on the cliff, but the other wheel was still rolling. It instantly caused the carriage to spin half a circle on the edge of the cliff and slide down the abyss.
At that moment, Li Han felt like his heart had fallen to the bottom of a cliff.
"Ah…"
The voice of the child called Li Han was buried by the clouds on the cliff…It would be a long-lost dust…a matter that would happen a long, long time later.
