Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 155 Killing without blinking an eye

Luo Yu poured water for washing his face and returned to the room alone.

A figure passed by from behind, Luo Yu's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Entered the house and blew out the lights.

Qin Bingrui and Murong squatted on both sides of the room, and Luo Yu went to bed.

After an incense stick of time, the door was gently pushed open and two men in black entered the room.

The man in black saw the quilt arched up on the bed, and in the starlight coming in through the open window, he could see the woman's black hair hanging down the edge of the bed.

The men in black slowly approached the edge of the bed, one in front and one behind.

Qin Bingrui and Murong slowly stood up, preparing to attack from behind, but it was difficult to deal with them since they were one in front and one behind.

The man in black near the bed swung the knife in his hand, ready to stab the person in the quilt.

In an instant, the man in the quilt jumped up like a carp, tilted his head to avoid the oncoming bayonet, and stabbed the dagger in the black-clothed man's heart. A meteor dart flew out from his other hand and quickly cut his throat.

Before the man in black could react, a trace of blood splattered, and he was like a moth to a flame, seeking his own death.

It was fast and fierce. If Murong hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this was Miss Luo Yu's skill.

Qin Bingrui also quickly dealt with the man in black behind him, and Master Murong watched the fun.

"Murong, quickly throw the two dead men into the river outside the window. The three people outside are relying on you."

Qin Bingrui secretly instructed Murong, and the two of them threw the man in black into the surging river outside the window, and then sneaked out of the room to find the other three.

Qin Bingrui was familiar with the route, and Murong even suspected that she had checked out all the places.

Luo Yu also followed out secretly and made a "three" gesture, meaning one for each person.

Murong frowned. This pretending to be weak white girl was actually quite capable in combat, so why did she just want to die at that time?

It was true that women were too difficult to understand. They were hot and cold, sometimes weak and sometimes too strong. The more he followed them, the more he felt that he did not understand them.

After easily dealing with the other three men in black, Qin Bingrui found the captain and explained that the five missing people were killers sent by the Bai family to harm Miss Bai. The captain was so scared that he almost abandoned the ship and fled.

After dealing with the men in black sent by the Queen, Qin Bingrui was completely relieved and slept soundly and comfortably.

Luo Yu couldn't fall asleep after sleeping for two hours. She felt that her body recovered very quickly, and even her strength gradually increased. She had this feeling when she was reborn for the first time. At that time, she just thought it was caused by her habit of hard work every day.

But this time he was only injured and did not die and be reborn, but it felt like his physical strength had been repeated. Could it be that the cells in his body would die due to injury and then restart, causing his physical strength to be repeated?

If that's the case, the more times she dies and is reborn, the more invincible she will become?

From this perspective, rebirth is not without its benefits. It doesn't mean you have to die over and over again in a cycle of self-destruction.

Until noon, Qin Bingrui and Luo Yu had not woken up.

After noticing five people were missing, everyone on board fell silent, leaving only the sound of the river's roar. After lunch, Master Murong stood on the deck, leaning on the railing and looking across at the other side. A moment later, Luo Yu walked up to the deck, saw him, and greeted him with a smile.

"You look like you slept well." Murong teased. These two women can eat, sleep, kill and cut, and it seems that nothing can affect their mood.

"Murong, thank you for helping me in the middle of the night!"

"Actually, you two can do it."

"That's definitely not possible. It wouldn't be this easy without you."

I don't know whether it's a compliment or just a joke.

Murong stared at her, and had many questions he wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.

"Do you have a lot to ask me? It's okay, you can ask." Luo Yu smiled faintly at him. The murderous girl in the early morning had become a different person.

"Have you always had kung fu?"

"Without some self-defense skills, how can I escape from the huge palace?"

"Then why didn't you want to live at that time? You just wanted to jump off the cliff and die."

Luo Yu really wanted to turn around and leave. This man was too smart and he couldn't hide anything from them. Considering that he had helped them many times, Luo Yu patiently explained to him.

"How could my meager martial arts skills possibly defeat over thirty or forty black-clad masters armed with bows and arrows? I wanted to die then, simply because I didn't want you to sacrifice yourself in vain."

The main reason was that I felt that Murong might not be reliable at that time, and he would die in the end, so jumping off a cliff would be easier.

This cannot be said.

Murong's eyes darkened, and his voice became low: "From now on, never give up on life. If you die, you will lose everything."

Luo Yu looked at his sincere eyes, turned his head guiltily, and his gaze fell on the mountain and water houses across the river.

In ancient times, there were no tall buildings and no pollution. The sky was blue with white clouds, and the mountains and rivers were picturesque. It was like a beautiful picture scroll, which is exactly the rural life of mountains and rivers that later generations yearn for.

If I can't go back for the time being, it would be nice to spend some time here. Of course, it would be nice if there weren't too many pursuits and grudges.

Murong thought she was worried and comforted her softly: "Actually, life is not easy for everyone, just think positively."

Luo Yu smiled at him and said, "Those who are dressed in silk and satin are not silkworm farmers. The sufferings of different people are different."

"So the girl wants to help others because she has suffered?"

He used to wonder why they wanted to challenge authority when they were clearly weak and alone?

Then he thought of himself and smiled bitterly.

We are just passing by.

Luo Yu blinked and smiled meaningfully: "If I were a man, it would be great. At least I could pass the imperial examination and achieve my dream."

"What is your ideal?"

"Everyone can have their own ideals, rather than just worrying about filling their stomachs three times a day."

"Poor people only have two meals a day."

"..."

Luo Yu spread her hands. She had suffered the same hardships as the common people. If she had to choose, she would rather be poor than suffer the pain of being hunted down.

"Master Murong, I can tell at first glance that you come from a wealthy and noble family. I didn't expect you to understand the sufferings of the common people."

"For us scholars, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, and traveling ten thousand miles is not as good as meeting countless people. I have met famous teachers, and I am also trying to understand them. Many things are not unknown to people, but they simply don't want to know."

"Mr. Murong is so capable. If he passes the imperial examination, he will surely become a high-ranking official in the imperial court and work for the welfare of the people."

"I don't want to be an official in the court."

"Why? Aren't you from a family with generations of officials?"

"You think I am?"

"I never make mistakes. Your temperament and behavior are very much like a young master from an aristocratic family."

Murong was silent. What Luo Yu said was not wrong, but the environment he grew up in was too complicated, and his identity was completely different from that of a child from a noble family.

After the silence...

"Miss Luo Yu, what kind of family did you grow up in?"

"I'm definitely not as lucky as you. I grew up without a father or a mother. I was raised by my master."

Luo Yu was afraid that the truth would scare him. After all, she and Qin Bingrui were both human beings created with artificially improved high-quality genes and were adopted by adoptive parents.

At the end of the 23rd century, few people were giving birth, and almost all newborns were artificially bred. Fortunately, her and Qin Bingrui's genes were immune to all viruses.

"Oh, it's rare that you're so positive and optimistic."

"Yes, I really want to be a high-ranking official, but unfortunately I am a woman. The Rong Dynasty is somewhat patriarchal, and women are oppressed. There is no precedent for women serving as officials."

Murong smiled and nodded. It was the first time she'd heard of a woman aspiring to be a high-ranking official. But there had been powerful empresses dowagers throughout history. Did she enter the palace as a concubine because she wanted to be an official? And why had she escaped? Could it be that she, hoping to become empress, was trying to uncover her secrets, only to be discovered by the empress's men and hunted down?

This scheming is in line with her personality.

"Miss Luo Yu, you are truly ambitious. You have told me so much. Aren't you afraid that I might harm you?"

Luo Yu smiled at him, blinked, and said, "Murong, why don't you take the imperial examination? It would be great if you could get the first or third place in the imperial examination!"

"This……"

Why not let him be the emperor and give her a queen? That would be great.

Murong lowered his head to look at her and couldn't help but smile dotingly.

I thought silently: "Okay."
