The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1635

Chapter 1635: 790 Big Brother’s Protection (Second Update)

Two death warriors jumped into the courtyard.

Madam Nan said to Master Lu, "You take them away first! I’ll hold them off for a while!"

Master Lu replied, "No! You take them! I’ll hold them off!"

Madam Nan angrily retorted, "If you keep arguing, I’ll leave you!"

Although Madam Nan’s martial arts had been abolished, she was still a master of poison and hidden weapons. Her chances of success were much higher than Master Lu, who couldn’t even defeat Ma Wang.

"Hmph! None of you are getting away!" The death warrior made his move.

Madam Nan immediately threw six darts, clearing a path for Master Lu and the others. "Hurry up! Go!"

Master Lu gritted his teeth, grabbed Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan with each hand, and jumped over the wall in one leap.

Unfortunately, the four of them didn’t get far before more death warriors caught up with them.

Eight of them blocked their path from both ends.

The leading death warrior said, "Hand over the two little ones, and we’ll leave you a whole corpse!"

"Pah!" Master Lu coldly responded, "If you have the guts, come at me! Let’s see what you’re made of!"

After threatening them, he whispered to his two apprentices, "Do you remember how to use the mechanism box?"

The mechanism box he mentioned wasn’t the half-finished one Gu Xiaoshun made, but a real life-saving item he crafted himself.

However, making it was extremely time-consuming, and he had only made two, which he had given to the two children. He and Nanxiang didn’t have any.

The two nodded.

Master Lu lowered his voice, "I’ll hold them off. You two go separate ways, find a place to hide, and use the breathing technique I taught you to conceal your presence."

He never agreed with Nanxiang’s impulsive actions, like opposing the Zhan Country’s royal family or coming to Yan Country to risk their lives. She was just their martial mother, not their real mother.

But when it came to life and death, he was still willing to sacrifice his life without hesitation to give the two children a chance to live.

Gu Xiaoshun tightened his grip on Gu Yan’s wrist. "Got it, father."

This one word "father" made Master Lu’s nose tingle, and a lump of pain welled up in his throat.

Usually, Xiaoshun only called him Master, and occasionally Father Lu.

This was the first, and also the last time.

Master Lu’s eyes glistened with tears.

As people age, their eyes really do leak more.

He smiled and said to the death warriors in front and behind him, "Come on! If you’ve got the guts, come all at once!"

The death warriors didn’t waste words with him and charged at him with their swords.

Master Meng, I’m sorry. I can’t save the kids with you around, so I’ll have to leave you here with me!

Master Lu untied the ropes on his body.

Just as Master Meng groggily woke up, Master Lu tossed him to the roadside, causing him to faint once again.

Master Meng: "..."

Master Lu was no match for the death warriors, but he fought desperately and managed to carve a bloody path.

Gu Xiaoshun was initially holding Gu Yan’s hand, but suddenly, Gu Yan twisted his wrist and took hold of Gu Xiaoshun’s hand instead.

"Run!" he said decisively.

The two of them dashed out into the street, fleeing for their lives in the deserted night.

Master Lu, not wanting to worry the children, didn’t make a sound even as he was struck by a sword. He just gritted his teeth and swallowed the pain.

But some death warriors still pursued them.

"There’s a well over there!"

Gu Yan pointed at the open space ahead. "Go! Hide inside!"

Gu Xiaoshun was a good swimmer.

He lifted the well cover and jumped in first. Then he looked up, wiped the water from his face, and extended his hand to Gu Yan. "Jump down, I’ll catch you!"

Gu Yan stood by the well, looking firmly at the encouraging face of Gu Xiaoshun. He curved his lips slightly and grabbed the well cover tightly.

Gu Xiaoshun panicked and whispered, "Gu Yan! What are you doing?!"

Gu Yan said, "Don’t make a sound."

Gu Xiaoshun paddled the water, trying to climb up. "Hey! You get down here!"

"I’m the older brother," Gu Yan said.

This time, it’s my turn to protect you.

His body was frail, his strength was small, and he almost exhausted all the strength in his arms to cover the heavy well lid.

Then he ran off!

While running, he shouted towards another street, "We’ll go separate ways! You go that way!"

The death warriors who had chased them nearby decisively ignored the well and split into two groups to pursue.

Gu Yan kept running forward.

For sixteen years, he had been a sickly child, panting after just a few steps. Only after the surgery did he finally realize how easy it was to be a normal person.

He had never run so frantically before.
