After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

"Who are you? We are officials appointed by the imperial court, and we are ordered to escort these people to exile. Are you going to go against the imperial court now?!" One of the officers had a look of fear and anger on his face. He roared loudly, and his voice echoed in the night sky, which was particularly harsh.

Lu Zhenting stood opposite him with a sneer on his face. He glanced at the Lu family members who were firmly protected in the back, and looked at the scars on their bodies, and an indescribable anger surged in his heart. These people dared to treat his family like this, which was simply unforgivable.

He spoke calmly, his voice revealing an unquestionable firmness and indifference: "You don't need to know our identities, you just need to know that tonight is the day you die!"

After saying that, he moved and quickly approached the roaring officer. His eyes flashed with a cold light, as if he wanted to freeze all the vitality of the other party in this cold night.

The sword in Lu Zhenting's hand flashed with cold light, and every swing was accompanied by a sharp airflow. He was agile and his movements were swift, like a cheetah shuttling through the dark night.

The soldier's heart tightened when he saw this. He felt the powerful aura emanating from Lu Zhenting and knew that he was no match for him, but he couldn't just surrender like that. He was going to die anyway, so he might as well give it a try.

Lu Zhenting suddenly jumped up, and his broadsword drew a graceful arc in the air, going straight to the top of a soldier's head. The soldier raised his weapon in fear to resist, but the angry Lu Zhenting's broadsword easily split his weapon like tofu and chopped directly to his head.

"Ah!" A scream was heard, and the soldier's head was separated from his neck, with blood splattering everywhere.

"Puff", the soldier's head rolled to the ground, blood spurting out. His body fell weakly, his eyes wide open, as if still telling of his unwillingness and fear.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers around retreated in horror, all frightened by the bloody scene.

Lu Zhenting, Xu Qingqing and their group did not give them a chance to breathe.

The entire battlefield was like a sea of ​​fire, the flames illuminating everyone's face, making their expressions even more ferocious. Shouts, screams, and the sound of weapons colliding intertwined together, forming a tragic war song.

Soon, under the fierce attack led by Lu Zhenting, these officers and soldiers fell to the ground one by one, and their blood dyed the surrounding ground red.

Lu Zhenting and Xu Qingqing stood in the center of the battlefield like two gods of war, emitting a cold aura.

The fifty people who were accompanying them were all injured to varying degrees. After Xu Qingqing had them simply bandaged, she began to instruct everyone to clean up the scene.

Lu Zhenting turned and walked towards the Lu family.

The Lu family looked at Lu Zhenting walking towards them, with complex emotions flashing in their eyes.

An elderly man from the Lu family stood up tremblingly. His face was full of traces of time, but his eyes still sparkled with determination.

His voice was trembling a little: "Zhenting, it's great that you are still alive... It's good to be alive..." As he said that, the old man stretched out his trembling hand towards Lu Zhenting, and Lu Zhenting also bent down to cooperate and put his face close to the old man's hand.

"Grandpa, I'm fine." Lu Zhenting said softly. Although his voice was calm, there was a glimmer of tears in his eyes.

Yes, how could it be okay? Disappointment and frustration with the court hung over his heart like a shadow. His former faith and loyalty seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the cruel reality.

But he knew that he was shouldering the hope and future of his family, and he could not fall down or retreat.

Lu Zhenting's wife and children also came forward impatiently. Mrs. Lu's eyes were sparkling with tears, and she held Lu Zhenting's hands tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that he would disappear again.

"Zhen Ting, you're finally back!" The lady's voice was choked with sobs, and her face was full of worry and longing.

These days, she had been worried about the safety of her husband and her entire family. Now that she saw that he was safe and her family had been rescued by him in time and no irreparable harm had been caused, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

The children of the Lu family also excitedly surrounded Lu Zhenting, their little faces filled with joy and pride.

"Dad, you are so awesome!"

"Amazing!"

Lu Zhenting smiled and touched the children's heads, his heart filled with tenderness and warmth.

When Xu Qingqing came over, she happened to see this family reunion, it was such a warm scene, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should go up and disturb them.

Lu Zhenting heard footsteps behind him and turned around to see Xu Qingqing, who was holding a lot of things: "Sect Master Xu."

Seeing that she was discovered, Xu Qingqing walked towards the Lu family with some easily digestible food and bandage medicine in her hands.

Gently putting down the food and medicine in her hands, Xu Qingqing swept her eyes across the faces of the Lu family. She felt a little sad when she saw their thin and haggard faces and exhausted eyes.

She gently said to the Lu family, "General Lu, and everyone else, these are some easily digestible food and medicine for bandaging. Use them first, and tell me if they are not enough."

"Thank you, Sect Master Xu." Lu Zhenting took out the food and distributed it to everyone.

Xu Qingqing smiled slightly, picked up the herbs and bandages, and began to bandage the wounds of the injured Lu family members. Her movements were gentle and skillful, making the Lu family feel the long-lost warmth and care.

"Master Xu, thank you so much." Madam Lu's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs, "We always believed that the court would protect us, but this time... this time we are really disappointed."

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Don't be sad. We can't change the court's affairs for the time being, but we can change ourselves. As long as we unite as one and support each other, we will be able to get through this difficult time."

The rest of the Lu family members were also filled with gratitude when they saw this scene. They knew that they were able to escape this time thanks to the help of Xu Qingqing and her group. Otherwise, Lu Zhenting alone would not be able to defeat four people.

When the Lu family was almost done, Xu Qingqing went back to take a look at the disguised scene.

The bodies of the escorting officers and soldiers left at the scene were like a time bomb, which could attract the court's pursuit and revenge at any time. Therefore, she had to act cautiously to ensure the safety of everyone.

Under the cover of night, everyone is still busy.

They used the surrounding trees and terrain to skillfully create illusions. They moved the bodies of officers and soldiers one by one, placed them in a relatively open area, and adjusted their postures to make them look like they were fighting a group of wild beasts.
