Rebirth of marriage

The village is not big, with only seven or eight houses.

When Xie Jiu arrived, the men were fighting with more than a dozen men in black with hatchets and pickaxes, while the women were holding sticks to protect their children.

She calmly observed the assassins' moves and saw that the villagers were clearly outmatched. Two assassins had already crossed the men's defense line and headed towards the women and children with their knives raised.

Xie Jiu gritted his teeth, held the dagger across his chest, and rushed forward.

In prison, her master was bound by chains and could only verbally teach her internal skills and some close attack techniques. She practiced them repeatedly in the air.

This was her first time fighting with someone, to be precise, fighting for her life.

It was her fierce determination that allowed her to kill two assassins and save the woman and children.

The assassin didn't pay much attention to the little man who suddenly rushed out. It wasn't until two of his companions died under her hands that they turned their attack to Xie Jiu.

Xie Jiu struggled to cope with the sudden onslaught, and soon his calf was cut with a knife.

"Ah, Uncle Yao, save Uncle Yao quickly." A female voice exclaimed.

Xie Jiu turned around and saw an old man being slapped away by the assassin. He then raised his sword to stab him in the heart. He threw the dagger in his hand and scratched the assassin's wrist. Xie Jiu took advantage of the situation and pulled the old man up and pushed him towards the woman. .

Seeing that the villagers still did not dare to kill the assassin, Xie Jiu picked up the dagger and roared, "They are here for your life. If they die, you will die. Are you showing mercy to the King of Hell?"

The villagers seemed to be enlightened and became ruthless. The hatchets and pickaxes worked together to harvest three lives.

The enemy's power was dispersed. Xie Jiu clenched his dagger and took this opportunity to jump up on an assassin's back like a monkey. The dagger slashed sharply across his throat, causing blood to spurt out.

The assassin fell, Xie Jiu pushed him hard against the assassin next to him, and rolled away to avoid the sword coming at him.

Just when the assassin thought Xie Jiu was about to avoid him again, she suddenly turned around and faced the sword in the assassin's hand, letting the sword pierce her body.

The assassin obviously didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to hit the ground with his sword. Just as he was slightly startled, a cold light flashed in front of him, and there was severe pain in his neck, and blood gurgled out. He widened his eyes and couldn't believe that Xie Jiu actually used the method of self-mutilation. The method quickly cut his aorta.

When the other assassin saw this scene, he turned his sword and pointed it at Xie Jiu.

"Girl, be careful." A tall man stood in front of Xie Jiu and blocked her with a machete.

Xie Jiu took the opportunity to quickly tear off the hem of his clothes and wrap it around his waist to avoid excessive blood loss. Then he got back to back with the tall man and looked at the remaining men in black with guarded eyes. Another one took advantage of them and raised his dagger. Stab directly at the person's face.

Just when the assassin thought she was going to slander him again at the cost of stabbing herself, Xie Jiu quickly leaned back to avoid the sword, and shot two embroidery needles from her mouth into his eyes.

The assassin covered his eyes and screamed in pain, and the tall man struck his neck with precision with the hatchet in his hand.

Hiding needles in the mouth was a trump card taught to Xie Jiu by her master. Xie Jiu had already revealed her trump card and there were three assassins left. She gritted her teeth and had no choice but to fight to the death with the villagers.

Half an hour later, Xie Jiu was injured in many places, and some of the men in the village were seriously injured, but they captured two assassins alive.

This was the result of Xie Jiu, and the villagers obviously wanted to know why they suffered this disaster.

"I'm Lu Zhuo, this is my father Lu Hongyuan. Thank you very much for saving my life tonight." The tall man helped a middle-aged man with injured legs and feet to walk to Xie Jiu, and the two of them cupped their hands and thanked her.

If Xie Jiu hadn't come to the rescue tonight, they would all have been killed by the sword.

Xie Jiu hid his right hand that was shaking due to excessive exertion in his sleeve and said calmly, "I happened to be passing by here. I heard the sound of fighting and came over to take a look. Do you know who wants to kill you?"

Lu Hongyuan shook his head, "We have lived here for more than ten years and have done our duty. I really can't think of anyone who has offended us and wanted to kill us."

Xie Jiu knew it.

In the prison in her previous life, she met Lu Zhuo, the youngest minister of punishment in the Great Xia Dynasty, and learned from the jailers that Lu Zhuo's grandfather was originally the minister of household affairs.

He was also the brother-in-law of the first prince, and was destined to be one of the first prince's party. During the fierce battle for the right to inherit the throne, the first prince and the other princes suffered many losses. They were not favored and were passed over to the throne by King Xian, Gu Xiao's father, who had assigned the fiefdom early.

After King Xian ascended the throne, he intended to keep Lu Zhuo's grandfather, but the old man had integrity and did not want to serve two masters with one servant, so he took his family into exile in Yuyouguan. However, the whole family was killed tonight, leaving only Lu Zhuo and his younger brother to escape. out.

Lu Zhuo fled to the capital in a roundabout way and was rescued by the third prince. From then on, he became a sharp knife in the hands of the third prince.

The master analyzed with her in private that there was something fishy about this assassination. Why would a family that had been in exile for more than ten years suddenly have assassins come to visit? Combined with Lu Zhuo's devotion to the third prince, the master concluded that the assassination was carried out by the third prince.

"Girl, your injury is serious. Go to the house and help your aunt take care of it." A concerned voice brought Xie Jiu back from his thoughts. It was a woman whose eyebrows were somewhat similar to Lu Zhuo's.

Xie Jiu was in pain and did need to be dealt with, but she shook her head, "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. I am a good person who will do my best to the end. First, I will help you ask who the person behind this is."

After that, she walked up to the two tied assassins and put the dagger to one of them's heart, "Why do you want to kill them?"

The poison sacs from the assassins' mouths have been removed, but they are dead soldiers and will not speak easily.

Xie Jiu was in severe pain and didn't want to spend too much time with them. He looked at Mother Lu and said lightly, "There will be some blood. If you don't want to scare the children, just let them go back to the house."

Mother Lu was slightly startled and didn't understand what thanking her for the wine meant. On the contrary, Lu Zhuo reacted quickly and let the women take their children into the house.

Xie Jiu pointed at the assassin and looked at the Lu family, "Please lift him up. I heard that there are two hundred and six bones in a person's body. I will count them today."

The Lu family only thought she was trying to intimidate the assassin, and they cooperated and quickly picked him up. Unexpectedly, what they saw was Xie Jiu calmly cutting open the assassin's arm and prying out his hand bones. Then came the thigh bone, and the assassin screamed again and again.

Someone took the lead and vomited out, and then a sound of vomiting sounded behind Xie Jiu.

Xie Jiu's face remained calm, but his teeth clenched the soft flesh of his jaw to prevent himself from spitting out.

Another assassin saw his companion being dismantled into pieces in Xie Jiu's hands, but he could not die and endured this inhuman torture. He could no longer bear it and shouted, "I said."

"It's the third prince. The third prince sent us to kill you..."

Xie Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The truth was similar to what the master had analyzed.

The emperor found that the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts were full of loopholes, and angrily said, "If Lu Aiqing is still in the Ministry of Accounts, why do I need to work so hard."

The third prince speculated that the old emperor wanted to revive the Lu family, which was why tonight happened.

If something happened to the Lu family, the old emperor would look after Lu Zhuo because he missed Lu Shangshu, and if he showed mercy to Lu Zhuo when he was desperate, Lu Zhuo would be used by him.

On the other hand, this is Gu Xiao's territory. If something happens to someone the emperor cares about in his territory, then he can accuse Gu Xiao of being incompetent and make the old emperor dissatisfied with Gu Xiao.

It's a shameless way to kill two birds with one stone, but it's very useful.

"How can this be true? How can this be true..." After learning the truth, Lu Hongyuan was so angry that his fingers trembled.

Xie Jiu wiped the dagger on the assassin and put it into his waist. His eyes were as calm as a pool of water. "Now that you know the person behind the scenes, I will leave this person to your disposal. Please take me to clean it up."

Xie Jiu didn't care about how the Lu family would deal with the assassin.

She was alone in the room, biting the cloth and pouring the medicine from the white bottle onto the wound on her abdomen. At this time, she dared to show her pain. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her whole body was shaking with pain.

The turbulence in her stomach was suppressed by her again, and she could not vomit it out in the Lu family.

To use the Lu family, they must completely surrender to her and respect her.

Just relying on the grace of saving her life is not enough. The Lu family is an official and has been exiled for more than ten years. They will be grateful to her, but they will not be willing to accept her as their head.

She doesn't have the capital to make them respect her, so she can only play ruthless ways to frighten them and make them afraid. In this way, coupled with the grace of saving lives and giving both kindness and power, they will be truly loyal.

Therefore, she knew she would be injured, but she had to rush forward and fight for her life. She was afraid of pain, but when the sword stabbed her body, she couldn't show any signs of it, and she had to put on a common look and dissect the human body in front of them.

Weakness will make the Lu family feel sorry for her and make them grateful to her, but strength and cruelty will make them afraid of betrayal.

Judging from the reaction of the Lu family, she did the right thing.
