Chapter 64.1: Taxing Her Ingenuity

The assassination came too suddenly. Luo Qing Luan simply didn’t anticipate that merely coming out to make a few inquiries would surprisingly result in such circumstances.

Even though she didn’t practice martial arts, she’d never allowed herself to be taken advantage of before. Although she encountered this crisis, she wasn’t panicked in the slightest.

“Wet Nurse, run quickly.” She forcefully pushed Nanny Song.

“My Lady, quickly escape……” Nanny Song was pushed into a stumble. After she regained her footing, not only did she not run, she instead came over to pull Luo Qing Luan. Time was already pressing. With this delay, the three masked men charging at them were already nearly upon them. Eyes dense with killing intent, they already raised their swords.

While assuming a very frightened expression, Luo Qing Luan screamed and took the opportunity to grab the dirt on the ground and threw it at the nearest person. At the same time, the silver needles she prepared ahead of time were already firmly grasped between her fingers. When the person to her left approached wanting to cut down Nanny Song, she turned and pulled Nanny Song behind her. The silver needles already rapidly inserted into the masked man’s body.

Caught off guard, that masked man simply didn’t anticipate that Luo Qing Luan still had the courage to make a move and was suddenly already caught.

He became rigid all over. The arm which he already lifted overhead was no longer able to chop down. He froze in midair just like that staring blankly. He looked both strange and comical.

Their leader standing behind him also looked on blankly. After he regained his wits, he stared at Luo Qing Luan. A meaningful light flashed through his eyes. “Wow. It truly never occurred to me that this little girl surprisingly had this ability. However, do you think that you can escape by merely relying on this?”

His gaze chilled as he fiercely glared at another subordinate who was gaping, and berated. “Idiot. Still not moving? Kill her!”

That person who had dirt thrown over him was in a fluster as he wiped the dirt from his eyes. He yelled, totally exasperated. “You b*tch, how dare you play tricks on me! Old Third, I want to personally take care of this b*tch. You go kill that old fart who still refuses to die.”

Luo Qing Luan could care less about these few people who were threatening her like this, as she pulled Nanny Song and quickly ran away.

She knew that relying on her and Nanny Song alone, they wouldn’t be able to escape no matter how. She didn’t know whether those four masked men were hired by Wang Xue Ru. They were clearly vicious and merciless. She’s afraid that today was going to be a disaster.

“Wet Nurse. Don’t worry about me. You should run as far as possible. I’ll stay to deal with them.” Considering the things which she always carried with her, Luo Qing Luan felt that it’s not like she didn’t have any chance of success, but she had to first send Nanny Song away. Otherwise, once Wet Nurse was caught, she could only refrain from acting to protect the other.

Nanny Song didn’t know what Luo Qing Luan was thinking at all and her frenzied face turned white. “No way, My Lady, I can’t abandon you. If we’re to die, we’ll die together!”

Luo Qing Luan felt helpless. Why was this wet nurse not listening to her!

However, she didn’t blame Nanny Song and instead, felt profoundly moved. If her wet nurse didn’t care about her, why would she stay to die together with her? Her wet nurse took care of her ever since she was little and had always been like a mother to her. The more she was like that, the more Luo Qing Luan couldn’t let anything happen to her wet nurse.

But although Luo Qing Luan could run faster than most women, when Nanny Song was factored into the equation, they couldn’t even begin to be compared to a group of grown men. Moreover, their pursuers were three enemy fiends?

“Loathsome girl, why bother running!” The sound of chillingly cold and murderous evil laughter arrived behind them.

Luo Qing Luan suddenly stopped, turned around, and stood there shouting. “Wait! Wait! I have something to say!” Without any other option, she could only make a gamble! She bet on the tiny hope that these people would be careless looking down on them as women and that they would be greedy.

Sure enough, besides the first masked man, who she had needled, and was still standing frozen in his original spot, the other three already charged towards her. Without directly moving forward to kill her, one of them laughed darkly, “Little girl, what else do you want to say. When things come to a head, you won’t live even if you spoke a few more words.”

The masked man who previously looked at Luo Qing Luan lustfully laughed even more excessively. “Do you want to beg this uncle to exempt you from dying? If you obediently make this uncle happy, maybe I will be able to give you some ecstasy.”

“Don’t you guys act recklessly. You can’t kill our mistress. If you want to kill, then kill me.” Nanny Song was so terrified, she trembled all over, but she still pushed Luo Qing Luan behind her, attempting to protect her.

“Wet Nurse, step aside. I have something to say.” Already taking advantage of the disorder to take out two poison pills, Luo Qing Luan pretended to gasp for breath as she pushed away Nanny Song and stood in front. Seeing two masked men approaching slowly, she said shyly, “I……I know that you guys won’t let us off, but……before facing death, I have a wish. Will you agree to it? I beg you……”

“You loathsome girl, are you wanting to trick us in some way?” Their leader was still somewhat suspicious. “Just now, what trick did you play to paralyze my brother, and now you’re up to something again. You think I’ll believe you?”

“No, no, I really……”

Looking at the people before her in a very frightened manner, Luo Qing Luan pulled Nanny Song and slowly retreated while saying timidly, “I merely want to beg all of you to take a letter back to my father. No no. If you can’t do that, then you can also help me send a verbal message.”

Their leader laughed coldly. “Death is at hand and you’re still thinking of your father?”
