When Lory heard the knock she waves her hand above the table to store the medicine and swiftly grab the monkey and hide under the bed, she hopes whoever enters the room didn't have high cultivation or they would know someone is hiding under the bed.
Slowly someone opens the door, turns out is a maid deliver a lunch for Lu Jiang Yi the maid is middle-aged woman in her late thirty she has calm and gentle eyes but didn't hide shrewdness in her eyes, Lu Jiang Yi sits on the corner chair with his back hunch and his arms withstand his head he pretend to be weak.
The maid didn't say anything out of ordinary than she put down the tray on the table and served the food quietly after she finishes she smiles at Lu Jiang Yi "This is you're favorite Master Lu, its steam pork and stir-fried tofu" she said with a smile.
Lu Jiang Yi didn't react he only nods his head but he's not moved from his chair, the maid still smiling but her eyes look anxious as if she worried about something "Master Lu, please eat more the food wouldn't be good if it cold" she persuades him.
"Just put it there, I'm eating when I want to" Lu Jiang Yi feel annoyed.
The maid smile becomes stiffed than she examined the room suspiciously, Lu Jiang Yi irritated by the maid constant lingering "Why are you still here, do you want to watch me eat? Stop bothering me!" he yells the maids, his rude behavior make her angry she bites her lower lips, the old man is only a prisoner inside the lavish courtyard how dare he treat her but her master remind her not to make this old man suspicious so she holds her angry and bow his head.
"Pardon me, Master Lu, I'm leaving now," she said politely.
"Leave then!" Lu Jiang Yi yells at her again.
The maid snort and leave the room after they can't hear her footsteps Lory got out from the bed, the food on the table is not much but anyone could see how luxurious the food is and it looks good too, lory want to try some but Lu Jiang Yi suddenly raised his voice "DON'T!"
Lory's hand froze "What's wrong, is it poisonous?" she wildly guesses.
"It is, that's why I become weak " he let out a long sigh "I got suspicious when my wound is not healing and my condition become worst but when I realize it the poison already enter my body so It's too late"
"Oh…" Lory retract her hand from the stir-fried tofu, this Qian Qi Feng is very malicious he used poison to subdue the man who has saved his life no wonder Lu Jiang Yi hated him so much.
Suddenly a bunch of footsteps runs towards them, Lory hides under the bed again with the monkey, the door is slammed open and soldiers rush in they look around the room than they glare at Lu Jiang Yi "Someone pretends as Qian Manor maid, do you see anyone suspicious!"
Lu Jiang Yi lean his back on the chair tiredly "I'm always here, how could I saw anyone?" he said with hoarse voice.
The soldier leader didn't believe him completely, the only reason someone breach to there manor is must be because of Lu Jiang Yi no one daring enough to sneak inside the official manor.
"Master Lu permitted us to search the room, the perpetrator might hiding here!" the leader word is more like an order than request he didn't respect Lu Jiang Yi and he didn't fear him, they knew Lu Jiang Yi is a weak old man who can defend himself.
"This is my room, how could I'm not know if someone inside my room? Do you want to accuse me to hide criminal inside my room" said Lu Jiang Yi with a stern face.
"This for you're owned safety Master Lu" the leader cupped his fist but he said with a mocking tone.
"You dare…"Lu Jiang Yi threat him.
The soldiers smirked and the leader sneer "I dare…"
"Search the room!" the leader command his subordinated, they spread and search inside the chest, behind the screen and behind the curtain just when they the bed the soldiers exchanged glance they can't feel something inside the bed they raised their sword and slowly approach the bed when they crouch on the floor all of the sudden they feel hot on their neck and crimson liquid has flown on their robes, instantly the soldiers fall on the floor.
When the other realized what happened Lu Jiang Yi grab the sword from the fallen soldier and thrust it to the closet soldier near him, they soldier scream in agony. The leader launch to Lu Jiang Yi while swinging his sword but he dodged the sword swiftly and cut the leader arms swiftly more blood spurt and he screams loudly, Lu Jiang cover his mouth and slit his throat in one quick move the man eyes become dimmed and he falls on the ground just like the rest.
Lory got out from the bed with the monkey, she didn't perturb by the bloody scene because she expected it from all the sound she heard, she only worries with Lu Jiang Yi condition who slightly just got better, just like she thought the old man falls on the chair weakly then he coughs roughly, Lory take out the medicine for him but then they hear woman screaming.
Its the maid who delivered the food, she's coming because she heard commotion when she saw the soldiers corpse she was bewildered and scream on the top of her lung than she runs away to look for help which is not good for Lory and Lu Jiang Yi, Unfortunately, Lu Jiang Yi still weak he wasted too much energy with the soldier so he unable to stop the maid from running away, Lory sigh she takes out the bow from her spatial ring than she draw the arrow and she released her arrow.
With the sound of buzzing the arrow hit the maid's chest and she plops on the ground, Lory tilted her head to make sure the maids not move than she stores the bow and arrow back to her spatial ring, she didn't realize Lu Jiang Yi dumbfounded face.
"We need to leave, more will come!" Lory said.
"You go! I will only burden you" he said in worried.
Lory chuckles "You old, is normal you burden youngster"
Lu Jiang Yi surprised this girl still can make a joke in this situation, Lory clique his tongue something she about to do would make a lot of commotion and attract their enemy but stay here they would have died before they can get out so, between bad and worst idea which one she would choose, Lory hear a footstep run toward them she knew she didn't have much time.
More soldiers appear and surrounded the wall and their exit, they were corner like a rat. Lory wave her hand and two-cylinder appear on her hand, she's glad she make some 'DIY' before she enters the manor, she make this for the worst situation and this is the worst situation.
She pushes Lu Jiang Yi behind the boulder than she lit up the cylinder and throws it on the wall fence who was a guard by a bunch of soldiers and then she hide behind the boulder while covering her ears.
