Chapter 143 - Riding Out The Storm (2)



The thundering hooves hitting the ground stopped as Lin Xiaofei finally hid behind a tree. Unfortunately, she didn\'t get too far from the forest and hid behind a tree just right beside the pond.

"Sh*t, she\'s getting farther! Let\'s hurry before anyone gets wind of this." The first guy who snarled earlier spoke an order once again to his men.

Without further ado, the others followed along with his words and urged their horses to follow the trail the horse their target was riding.

"Uh, Bo Qian... Shouldn\'t you hurry and follow them?" Another man said.

Bo Qian, who was the same guy who snarled the first time looked at his companion and smiled, "Are you an idiot? Who would blindly go past the pond and endanger their lives?"

His companion raised both his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

With his hand outstretched and pointing forward, towards the other side of the pond, Bo Qian said, "I\'m not too sure if it was true but beyond this pond, things could become bloody and scary. Of course, I\'m not scared of anything but being too careful won\'t hurt. The land beyond that pond is where the mother of the current Duke was found after all."

Lu Ming\'s hands that were holding the reins stiffened. "That can\'t be."

Bo Qian scoffed. "But it is. Master told me to be careful not to stray anywhere beyond the pond unless I don\'t want to live anymore." He waved his hand as if to erase the tension in the atmosphere and continued, "Anyway, we should wait here and see if they come back."

If they come back alive. Lu Ming heard the unspoken words beyond Bo Qian\'s words and gulped.

Only a handful of people knew what really happened between the current Duke of Xin and his parents or even his past. The fact that his mother\'s corpse was found outside was also a mystery but not everyone in the Zheng empire knew of this and only those who had enough money and influence found out about this and now, them.

Both Lu Ming and Bo Qian worked as a lone assassin as they didn\'t have an organization or guild where they will have to answer to. However, that didn\'t stop them from taking missions from everywhere and tonight\'s mission was to kill the bride the Duke took for himself before dumping the head in front of the Duke.

Bo Qian might be somewhat rough in his job but Lu Ming knew his skills and could be the best of them when it comes to carving his targets to something inhumanely.

While he naturally didn\'t like his companion\'s fervent desire to carve out their targets as he liked things to be clean and fast, this time, he might have to let Bo Qian lead this mission since their Master who was their current employer specifically told them to do so.

Anyway, he might just have some fun with the lady before he let Bo Qian do his work and create a masterpiece using human flesh.

"So what are we going to do if they didn\'t come back?" Lu Ming asked, trying to make himself more comfortable on his saddle.

"We go back to our post and resume out disguise or we can just ambush her once she\'s alone. Although, I don\'t like the smell of cosmetics on my face but we need to finish this mission as soon as possible." Bo Qian puckered his lips in distaste.

"Sounds like a good plan." Lu Ming said, "Just remember I want my share of fun first." Suddenly, Lu Ming got off his horse and he heard Bo Qian asking him what was he doing and replied to him with a shrug, "I need to pee so you better watch my horse until I return."

Bo Qian guffawed and couldn\'t believe that even when they\'re inside the Qu residence where the God of War resides, Lu Ming still had the guts to take care of his business and relieve himself in someone else\'s land. Well, it wouldn\'t hurt anyway since his buddy was already planning to taint the Warlord\'s bride.

"Just hurry it up so we can continue to find other ways to make our mission successful tonight." Bo Qian said.

"I know." Lu Ming walked away and went inside the forest.

The night was cold especially when he could literally feel that something was foul in the surroundings but he couldn\'t put his finger on it.

When he finally found the perfect place to pee, a not so open area where Bo Qian wouldn\'t see him doing his thing and still near the clear opening before the pond where his other companion is, he started to untie his pants.

He was supposed to answer the call of nature and pee but when he thought of that beautiful face he had been watching in the stable, he found it hard to answer his calling.

Instead, he was raging on.

Lu Ming cursed but he was too excited to really mean his swearing. And when he was about to put his hand downwards, a flash of silver blinded him momentarily and thought that it was the moonlight reflecting against the pond and didn\'t think about more about it until he felt something wet splashed on his hand.

He looked down and saw nothing but red. He was expecting to see the thing that he intended to touch but there was nothing to reach down there.

Lu Ming grunted and screamed in pain but before his voice could totally escape from his mouth, a small and soft hand covered his mouth.

And before he could push away or attack against the evil thing that took away his manhood, he felt a blow along with a cold feeling stabbing through his neck like an ice stick suddenly grow inside it.

Then, a blurred figure was thrust upon his vision as death whispered in his ear, "Have fun in hell."

Lin Xiaofei softly and soundlessly put the dead weight on the ground. Looking at the gap of the few trees in front of her where she could see the companion of the man whom she had just killed. She was hoping that her movements didn\'t catch his attention.

Thankfully, the other man was too caught up in whatever was inside his pouch and smiled stupidly but she wouldn\'t be as stupid as him and think the night is done. That man before the pond will surely look for his friend and come to the direction where his friend went missing.

Wiping the blood on her hand with her skirt, Lin Xiaofei felt disgusted and wished she could take her clothes off and take a bath but she can\'t be picky now that her life was put into danger.

Slowly, she stood up and started to look for a hiding place once again.
