"In front."
A loud roar and the sound of galloping hooves pulled Lu Tang back to reality. Her eyes were filled with a sharp light. Because she was too shocked, she missed the best time to escape. The soldiers were already right in front of her. Lu Tang's expression was serious. She hugged her child tightly and quickly turned around, running in the heavy snow.
"Chase!"
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh…!"
The arrow brushed past his ear and stabbed into the ground.
Rumble!
The sound of horse hooves echoed in his ears.
Lu Tang didn't know where she was going. She only knew that she had to escape and protect this child. This was the life of that woman.
The wind howled, and her throat was dry and cracked. It was still snowing heavily ahead. Lu Tang ran for her life, dodging the sharp swords that were flying at her from time to time. Suddenly, she braked and stopped her footsteps.
Because in front of him…
Ten thousand feet cliff!
If it weren't for her excellent eyesight, the silver-white light reflected from the mountain peak opposite her, and the stone that she accidentally kicked fell silently, she wouldn't have realized that it was a cliff in front of her. She felt a lingering fear and cold sweat flowed out of her body, wetting her clothes. She almost fell and shattered her bones the moment she passed through.
Just as Lu Tang was gasping for breath and rejoicing at his quick reaction, the sound of hooves stopped and the neighing of horses sounded. The pursuers behind him had arrived.
Hundreds of people.
All of them were wearing black cloaks and holding long sabers in their hands as they stared at her.
There were pursuers in front and a cliff behind. Lu Tang had nowhere to go.
She lowered her head and looked at the baby in her arms. He seemed to be hungry. His big eyes were wet and his little mouth was sucking on her little fist. He was innocent and cute. Lu Tang's heart softened instantly. She was calculating what her chances of winning were if she fought against a hundred people without a submachine gun.
In the end…
There was no chance of winning-
"Mu Haitang!"
At this moment, a deep male voice sounded. That voice was even colder than the cold weather…
The black-robed guards took the initiative to move to the sides, leaving a space in the middle. A man wearing a black cloak with silver edges and half a gold-rimmed mask on his face, revealing his tightly pursed lips, slowly stepped out on a snow-white horse.
His face could not be seen, only his pair of dark and deep eyes. They were as deep as dark night pearls, like a huge black hole that could suck people's souls in. He sat on the horse with a noble aura. He was high and mighty, and his entire body emitted a cold and disdainful aura.
"Mu Haitang, why aren't you running anymore?”
He opened his thin lips and asked.
There was no warmth in his voice. There was even a hint of cold hatred.
Lu Tang hugged the baby tightly in her arms. At this moment, she suddenly understood the woman who had turned into a corpse and disappeared. She seemed to be a woman with a secret. Now, her disappearance had made her exist. She had the same appearance and was originally an outsider, but she had successfully been given a new identity by the woman called Mu Haitang. In the future, even if she had a hundred children, she would not be able to explain her identity because from the moment the woman disappeared and took over the child... She had become the real Mu Haitang, a smart and daring woman.
"I didn't run!"
Lu Tang spoke, but his mind was rapidly searching for an escape route.
The man in front of her gave her too much pressure. This man was dangerous, and the alarm in her heart had already sounded.
She was wearing Mu Haitang's cloak, and even her hair was wrapped in a hat. No one here could tell that she was actually another person.
"You didn't escape? Haha…"
The man sneered. The violent light radiating from his body shocked Lu Tang. She didn't even know who this man was or what his relationship with Mu Haitang was. She didn't even dare to speak.
"Bow!"
The man let out an explosive roar, and the black-robed guard beside him respectfully handed over a golden bow and arrow. Lu Tang's entire body tensed up as he stared at this lofty man, who was exuding an intense killing intent.
The man nocked three arrows on his bow and aimed them at Lu Tang, or more accurately, at the child in Lu Tang's arms.
"Mu Haitang, as long as you tell me who this bastard belongs to, I might spare your life!”
The bow was on the bowstring and was about to shoot out in the next moment. The man's cold words made Lu Tang tremble. In the ancient times where there were no submachine guns and Qinggong was everywhere, an unprecedented sense of danger enveloped him.
Just who had this Mu family's Haitang offended? The man in front of him called himself 'This Lord'. This identity must be of a high position. What identity?
Was it because she had made a cuckold out of this golden-masked man? Was that why he was chased here?
No!
Mu Haitang had an aura of an orchid in a desolate valley. She was beautiful and was a daughter of a noble family. She was definitely not such a person. It must have been this golden-masked man who forced her to die and even scolded her child.
Thinking of the Mu family's Haitang's resolute look before she died, Lu Tang felt uncomfortable and furious. She was not a soft-hearted person and did not like to meddle in other people's business. However, at this moment, she really did not want to let down that woman's request and wanted to protect this child.
Her eyes turned cold, and she tightened her grip on the child. The word 'vile spawn' pierced Lu Tang's heart.
Anger comes from the heart, and evil comes from the gall.
Lu Tang snorted and laughed coldly. Her eyes were narrowed like a fox's, and the smile on her lips was faint and sarcastic. She immediately retorted and said to the man sitting on the tall horse," You're the bastard. Your entire family is a bastard. Bastards, you look like a ghost. No wonder you don't dare to show your true face to others. What kind of ability is it to bully us orphans and widows with a mask?"”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of gasps could be heard. The men in black widened their eyes and stared at Lu Tang as if they had seen a ghost.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the men in black staring at her angrily. Then, they dismounted in unison and knelt on the ground in fear.
"Master, please calm down!"
The man on the horse's back was boiling with killing intent. Lu Tang seemed to see a dark power gathering around him. His black hair danced wildly in the snow and ice.
The bow and arrow in his hand were raised and aimed at Lu Tang.
"Mu Haitang, it seems like you are really courting death!”
His voice was so cold and icy.
There was no warmth at all.
The eyes under the mask were cold and cruel.
The arrow was already on the bowstring, ready to explode at any moment. However, he did not put down his finger, as if he was admiring Lu Tang's fear before her death.
"You can't kill me!"
Lu Tang smiled evilly and slowly retreated with the child in her arms. However, she coldly retorted.
"Can't kill you? Do you think I can't bear to?"
When the masked man heard Lu Tang's words, he seemed to find it extremely funny. His words were filled with disdain. He had completely misunderstood Lu Tang's meaning.
Lu Tang couldn't guess the relationship between this man and the woman with the same name as her. She couldn't say anything else. Behind her was a cliff that was ten thousand feet high. It was her only way to escape. She stared at the man and thought to herself, if the arrow in this man's hand was shot at her, what were the chances of her dodging?
Seeing that Lu Tang did not speak, the golden-masked man laughed coldly and said to the hundred black-robed guards kneeling on the ground," This woman is your reward!”
