    Chapter 144 The Fool’s Happy Bride 19

    Lu Chuan suddenly raised his head.

    Shen Gaoyang on his right was already furious and about to stand up: “I am your ancestor! Let me go!”

    Then he was shot in the thigh by a soldier on the side.

    Zhao Wenhong on the left only had a slight change in expression, but the foreigner accurately captured it and couldn’t help but smile: “This small Lizhou is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Not only is there a general guarding it personally, but even our poison master who poisoned His Majesty the Emperor is willing to be an ordinary doctor for other people’s wives.”

    After the foreigner said that, he shot at his lame calf.

    Zhao Wenhong groaned.

    “Let me see what charm this Mrs. Lu has,” the foreigner put the gun in his hand and squatted down to pinch the man’s chin.

    Changes happen in an instant.

    A bullet grazed Xie Rong’s neck and accurately hit the foreigner’s palm.

    “Who?!”

    The surrounding soldiers immediately surrounded the commander, holding guns and glancing around vigilantly.

    The foreigner covered his bloody hands and looked around with a gloomy expression. Before he could find any clues about the sniper, a bit of infrared light silently aimed at his eyebrows.

    Bang–!

    Even though the foreigner quickly grabbed the soldier on the side to block him, the man in the dark reacted one step faster than him. The bullet curved sideways and penetrated one of his eyes.

    “There’s a fraud! Protect the commander!” The foreign soldiers sounded the alarm.

    But even though the surrounding soldiers raised their shields, the heavily protected foreign commander in the middle still saw a slender red line refracted on the shield and then fell on his other eye.

    “Let him go! Let him go immediately!” After saying that, the red line disappeared and the foreigner passed out.

    The seriously injured and unconscious foreign commander was put on a stretcher and carried away.

    The foreigners had won a complete victory in this battle, and they could not wait to enter the city to enjoy the fruits of victory. No one would have thought that in Lizhou City, which had long been out of ammunition and food, there would be people who were not afraid of death and ambush here single-handedly.

    Lu Chuan and others were detained, but no one dared to step forward to arrest Xie Rong.

    Anyone who approached with arrogance and arrogance was not as lucky as their commander, and they were all killed with one shot.

    In the main courtyard of the Lu Mansion, foreigners occupied the house to recuperate.

    “Commander, my men are searching the city as quickly as possible, but no suspicious person has been found yet.”

    The foreigner thought deeply: “Lizhou’s supplies have long been exhausted, and the people in the dark will not have spare bullets. He has not made any moves in the past few days. He only took action when I was close to Mrs. Lu…”

    After saying this, he smiled, but the smile was not as deep as his eyes, “There are quite a few infatuated people in Lizhou. We just don’t touch Mrs. Lu… By the way, where are the others?”

    “He ran away during the chaos and hid in the city.” The soldier said.

    The foreigner picked up a photo that he found somewhere, half-squinted his remaining eye and looked at the person in the photo, with a sinister look on his face: “A canary raised at home can’t make a difference. It’s a pity that such a wonderful person can’t be enjoyed by us.”

    He was always wary of the sniper who didn’t show up, but Lizhou was so big, he would always catch someone.

    “Continue the search. If we find a suspicious person, we would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.”

    “Yes!”

    The door of the small restaurant had long been broken by foreign soldiers, and the autumn wind carried a strong smell of blood through the hall.

    In the woodshed, the woodpile formed a hidden cave.

    Xie Rong sat in the corner, bent his legs, and the man squatted in front of him, lifted up his trousers, and applied medicine to his bruised knees.

    The man’s hand was very steady, not even the potion in his hand shook at all. He was indeed the hand of a sniper.

    “The marksmanship is good,” Xie Rong played with a sniper rifle he snatched from the man’s hand and put the muzzle of the gun against the man’s throat, “Does the housekeeper of the Lu family want to practice marksmanship?”

    “My wife is so flattering,” Zhao Tongguang said calmly, still with that wooden face, “Compared with my wife’s courage, it’s nothing.”

    “I’ve already disguised myself. Who knew I would be arrested as soon as I left the port?” Xie Rong glared at him.

    Zhao Tongguang looked up at him.

    He seemed completely unaware that no matter how he disguised himself, he would still be far more conspicuous than ordinary people.

    Neither Lu Chuan nor Zhao Tongguang thought that their wives, who already hated them, would disembark and turn back, but they were still prepared for the worst——

    That is to let Zhao Tongguang lurk in the dark and guard the port. If an accident occurs, he must protect Xie Rong.

    That day, Xie Rong was captured by a group of soldiers. Killing a soldier had no deterrent effect. Only by sniping the Kuchiki Qingjun could Xie Rong leave.

    “Why do you want to stay?” Zhao Tongguang asked, “Why don’t you get on the boat and leave?”

    [Yes, why doesn’t the host leave?Anyway, the mission cannot be completed, and both the identity of the protagonist and the identity of the villain have expired. I am still happy to stay with the host in this world.】

    Xie Rong said coldly: “Do I need to inform you of what I want to do?”

    Zhao Tongguang stopped talking and lowered his eyes to apply medicine for him.

    After applying the medicine, Xie Rong said again: “I want to take a bath.”

    Where is the hot water at this time?If you use firewood to burn it, foreigners will definitely notice it.

    But the lady in front of her has been pampered since she married into the Lu family. She has seven or eight servants taking care of her every day. Now she doesn’t even have hot water, so she is afraid she will be angry.

    Zhao Tongguang put down his trouser legs, turned around and left the woodshed.

    Xie Rong leaned on the firewood pile, closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

    When he woke up, it was still dark and his stomach was growling.

    In the firewood shed, Xie Rong could not see his fingers, and Xie Rong huddled sideways on the firewood pile, as if he had returned to the time when his meridians were exhausted. At that time, his room was also so dark, and he could not see anything clearly after losing his cultivation.

    Xie Rong turned his head and buried it in his arms, his shoulders shaking slightly.

    He hates it so much… He hates it so much… He hates it so much!

    He shouldn’t have saved that child just now!Why did he want to save that child!Everyone deserves to die!Go to hell!

    “Xie Rong? Xie Rong!”

    A hot and rough palm held the back of his neck and shook his body.

    Xie Rong blinked slowly. Under the weak oil lamp, his eyes were like a pair of glass beads of different colors. They were full of cracks and would break if touched.

    “Are you feeling well? Or is my wife unhappy because I came back too late?” Zhao Tongguang asked him.

    Xie Rong leaned back slightly, leaning on the man’s palm with the back of his neck as soft as a bone, “I’m hungry.”

    Zhao Tongguang took out a hot cake from his arms and said, “Mrs. Wong, I will deal with it today.”

    Xie Rong took big bites and devoured the food. Two soft balls of flesh bulged on his cheeks, and asked him vaguely: “Where’s my hot water?”

    Zhao Tongguang put a thermos pot in front of him, “After the foreigners entered the city, people were not allowed to open fires. This is all the hot water in Lizhou.”

    “Oh.” Xie Rong said.

    Zhao Tongguang said calmly: “Tomorrow at noon, Kuchiki Aojun will shoot Lu Chuan in public.”
