Creed of the heavens

Lu Xiao let go of the ruthless iron hand that locked the opponent's movements, and Vieri fell limply on the ground, curled up subconsciously into a ball and twitched in pain, and saliva foam began to ooze from the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

It took less than two seconds for Vieri to reach out to Claudia until he fell to the ground with a wound, and the four guards brought by Vieri hadn't even reacted.

"What the fuck did you do to the young master?!"

"court death!"

Two of the big men threw their fists at Lu Xiao in shock and anger, while the other two nervously helped Vieri to check the situation.

"Claudia, you step back first."

Lu Xiao lowered her weight and gave instructions to Claudia behind her.

Although she was very scared in her heart, Claudia, who had received a lot of anti-wolf education, still mustered up the courage to move back to make room for Lu Xiao's activities.

The Paqi family guard who rushed to the front punched Lu Xiao on the left side of the face, and the other big man, with the mentality of revenge, took advantage of his companions in front to block Lu Xiao's sight, and quietly kicked a black foot. Refers to Lu Xiao's crotch.

Relying on the dynamic vision bonus brought by Clairvoyance D, Lu Xiao could read their targets through their respective strike movements within a few tenths of a second before the opponent made contact with her.

Relying on greater agility, he stretched out his right hand from behind first, put it on the back of the arm of the big man in front, and moved his body's center of gravity with a skillful force of four or two, just in front of the big man with black feet.

"Oh!"

The big man at the back, with a strong kick in hatred, unfortunately hit his companion's thigh, and the two of them lost their original rhythm of action in a hurry.

Lu Xiao took the opportunity to take a step forward, reaching within the arms of the big man in front, and punched the opponent's soft abdomen with a swift and fierce punch.

When the big man curled up subconsciously like a lobster, Lu Xiao, who had been prepared for a long time, followed closely and struck out again with his left hand, hitting the face of the No.2 big man who was stunned after the shield fell down. The man's side kick followed closely behind, kicking heavily on the opponent's side face.

In just two seconds, the two men charging with ferocious faces fell to the ground almost at the same time, and the crowd of onlookers didn't even have time to exclaim.

Vieri, who had just recovered a little bit, turned blue. The severe pain and humiliation from his lifeblood made him out of anger, and he forced himself to squeeze out a word from the corner of his mouth against the severe pain.

"kill"

"Chong!"

The two guards who were behind to take care of Vieri looked at each other, and at the same time drew out the long swords around their waists, preparing to launch a second round of attacks on Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was also about to draw out the double knives hidden in his waist, but the sound of hurried footsteps not far away stopped him from taking out the weapon.

"What are you doing!"

Just when the second wave of battle was about to start, several city guards in light armor rudely pushed away the crowd and came to the scene. They immediately turned their attention to the Patch family guards holding weapons.

The first captain raised his right hand and shouted, "Drop your weapon! I won't say it a second time!"

Under the captain's signal, several archers bent their bows and pointed at the guards of the Patch family.

After weighing again and again, the two guards could only throw their weapons on the ground unwillingly, and raised their hands to show that they had no sense of resistance.

Seeing that the other party gave up his arms knowingly, the captain's tension relaxed a little.

After scanning the messy scene, the captain began to ask the whole story of the conflict.

"Dear city guard, let me explain."

Lu Xiao saluted the captain of the guard with a smile, and described the cause and effect in a relatively objective way before Vieri could finish his speech.

Hearing that the two parties in the conflict were from the Auditore family and the Pazzi family respectively, the captain's expression became serious.

He turned his head and asked the crowd of onlookers for their statements, and came to a conclusion that was basically consistent with Lu Xiao's description.

Taking a pityful look at Vieri, who hadn't recovered yet, the captain gave an order to his subordinates: "Take away the Patch family who tried to rape the unmarried lady."

"Come here, inform Lord Lorenzo and Consul Uberto Alberti of this matter, and Vierid Pacci's crimes will be judged by them personally."

Chapter 19 Exploring the unknown driving force

As Lu Xiao expected, as the other party to the conflict, he and Claudia were not even taken away together. The captain of the guard declared the two to be self-defense on the spot, and the conflict ended in the failure of the Patch family.

Oh, is this the privilege to enjoy? To be honest, it feels pretty good.

Lu Xiao had considered the possible gains and losses and a series of consequences of this conflict long before he started.

The Auditore family and the Pazzi family have long been torn apart, as evidenced by Vieri's daring to swear at Claudia and even touch her in the street.

Naturally, Lu Xiao would not just sit and watch Claudia being humiliated. With the idea of ​​attacking first, he gave Vieri a fatal blow without hesitation.

The Pacis were lackeys of the Knights Templar, while the Auditores were close allies of the Medicis, rulers of Florence.

When the crowd of onlookers unanimously pointed out that Vieri was at fault first, and Lu Xiao did not break the law of Florence with his deadly hands, the city guards who obeyed the orders of the Medici family would naturally be biased.

As the crowd of onlookers with happy faces dispersed, Lu Xiao turned to look at Claudia who breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're not scared, are you?"

Claudia forced a smile: "Fortunately, I just didn't expect the outside world to be so dangerous."

Lu Xiao laughed and shook her head: "The world outside the protection of the family is indeed not that safe, but there is no need to generalize. Like today's special event, you may go out 100 times and you may not encounter it once."

As long as you don't put up some bad fags before going out

The second time he had a conflict with the Paqi family, Lu Xiao didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about debts.

With his close relationship with the Auditore family, he might have been recognized by the Pazzi family as a member of the Auditore family's allies.

Not only will taking over the death feud with Vieri not attract criticism from the Brotherhood, but it may further gain the trust of the Auditore family.

Lu Xiao was not interested in knowing what happened to Vieri. With the Patch family's financial resources and status, although the well-founded accusation would inevitably make them spit out some benefits, Vieri's life would not be in any danger.

Lu Xiao still has a sense of proportion, at most, it will make Vieri suffer for a long time, and will not let the Patch family be left behind, causing the impulsive and irritable father and son to retaliate recklessly under madness.

After experiencing an unexpected crisis, Claudia, who was full of excitement and curiosity about going out before, became a lot calmer.

After successfully arriving at Da Vinci's studio, Lu Xiao knocked on the door politely.

"crunch"

As the door opened, a young man with a mustache poked his head out from the door.

When he saw Lu Xiao's foreign face, which was obviously different from that of Europeans, the young man wearing a red artist's soft hat showed doubts and curiosity.

"Who are you, do we have an appointment to meet?"

Lu Xiao smiled politely at the other party: "Mr. Leonardo da Vinci, my name is Lu Xiao, the messenger of Mrs. Maria Auditore, and this is Mrs. Maria's daughter, Claudia."

Da Vinci looked surprised, and hurriedly invited two distinguished guests to enter: "Please come in, please come in, please wait a moment, I will frame the painting."
