Chapter 286 Dispute
Facing the sudden arrival of the officers and soldiers, Si Qi looked solemn. He knew that although he was a martial arts expert, he could not resist the pursuit of the imperial court. Moreover, he had his own mission to complete and could not stay here to protect Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran.
"You hide first, I will deal with them." Si Qi said to Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran.
Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran were fully aware of their current situation, so they followed Si Qi's arrangements and hid in the dark room of the cabin.
Si Qi stood alone in front of the hut, facing the officers and soldiers. He held a long sword, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew that he had to fight for a chance for Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran to escape.
A fierce battle was inevitable. With his superb martial arts and extraordinary wisdom, Si Qi fought a desperate battle with the officers and soldiers. He kept repelling the attacks of the officers and soldiers, while also looking for opportunities to break through.
However, there were many soldiers and reinforcements were coming in continuously. Although Si Qi was extremely brave, he gradually felt that he was unable to do anything. He knew that he could not fall down like this, otherwise Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran would be in danger.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the dark room of the hut. It turned out that Lu Zhiran accidentally triggered the mechanism while hiding from the soldiers and was injured by the hidden weapon in the dark room.
Fu Yuzhang was extremely anxious when he heard Lu Zhiran's exclamation. He knew that he couldn't just sit there and watch. So, he rushed out of the dark room without hesitation and fought side by side with Si Qi.
With the two of them working together, the soldiers' offensive was immediately suppressed. However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the soldiers and headed straight for Fu Yuzhang. That person was Mu Qizong's subordinate - an assassin with great martial arts skills.
Seeing this, Si Qi immediately swung his sword to meet him. However, the assassin's martial arts were equally strong, and the two fought hard for a while. Fu Yuzhang took the opportunity to rescue the injured Lu Zhiran and brought her back to the dark room.
In the dark room, Fu Yuzhang treated Lu Zhiran's wound and comforted her not to be afraid. He knew that he had to be strong at this moment to protect himself and Lu Zhiran.
The battle outside was still going on. The fight between Siqi and the assassin had reached a fever pitch. The two of them fought back and forth, their swords flying everywhere, and every clash seemed to tear the air apart.
However, as time passed, Siqi's physical strength gradually depleted. He knew that he couldn't continue to waste his energy like this. So, he used up his last bit of strength and swung out his strongest sword.
With a loud "bang", the sword energy collided with the assassin's weapon, making a deafening sound. The assassin was knocked back by the sword energy, and Siqi was also seriously injured by this full-strength attack.
"Hurry up!" Si Qi struggled and shouted to Fu Yuzhang, "I'll hold them back, you guys hurry up!"
Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran were filled with gratitude and reluctance when they heard this. They knew that Si Qi did this to save them. So, they rushed out of the hut without hesitation and disappeared into the night...
After Fu Yuzhang recuperated in Siqi's hut for a while, the fire in his heart was ignited again. He was unwilling to be hunted and hide in this kind of life, so he decided to join the army and take this opportunity to rebel for himself and regain the glory of his family. However, when he expressed this idea to Lu Zhiran, she strongly opposed it.
"Yuzhang, you can't go!" Lu Zhiran anxiously grabbed Fu Yuzhang's hand, his eyes full of worry, "It's too dangerous for you to do this. If you fail, we will face even greater difficulties."
Fu Yuzhang's eyes flashed with determination. He broke free from Lu Zhiran's hand and said firmly, "Zhiran, I can't keep running away like this. I must fight to get the rights and dignity we deserve. I can't let the glory of my family end with me."
"But Yuzhang, have you considered the consequences?" Lu Zhiran's voice trembled, "If you fail, we may lose everything, even our lives. I can't watch you take risks."
"Zhiran, I know you are worried about me." Fu Yuzhang gently stroked Lu Zhiran's face, but his tone was still firm, "But this is what I have to do. I can't let you live this kind of displaced life with me. I want to give you a stable and dignified future."
The argument between the two became more and more intense, and their emotions gradually got out of control. Lu Zhiran burst into tears, and she could not accept Fu Yuzhang's decision, while Fu Yuzhang insisted on his beliefs and determination.
"Yu Zhang, you are too impulsive! You can't just think about yourself, you have to think about me too!" Lu Zhiran finally couldn't help crying out loud.
Seeing Lu Zhiran so sad, Fu Yuzhang felt a pang in his heart. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then whispered to comfort him: "Zhiran, I know you are worried about me. But please believe me, I will be careful. I will fight for our future and will not put myself in danger easily."
Lu Zhiran looked at Fu Yuzhang's determined eyes. Although she was still worried, she knew that she couldn't change his decision. She wiped away the tears from her eyes, hugged Fu Yuzhang tightly, and said in a choked voice: "No matter where you go, I will wait for you. But please be careful and protect yourself."
Fu Yuzhang hugged Lu Zhiran tightly, his heart filled with gratitude and warmth. He knew that he could not live up to Lu Zhiran's expectations and trust, and he must fight hard for their future.
Fu Yuzhang was fully aware of his responsibilities and mission. He promised firmly, "Zhiran, I promise you that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will walk carefully, not only for the honor of the family, but also for our future."
In the following days, Fu Yuzhang began to prepare for joining the army. He secretly trained his martial arts, learned tactics and military strategies, and also secretly collected information about the court and the army to make adequate preparations for future actions.
Lu Zhiran silently supported Fu Yuzhang. Although she was worried, she also understood that this was the path Fu Yuzhang had to take. She began to prepare a bag for Fu Yuzhang, sorting his clothes and necessities in an orderly manner, and also prepared some dry food and medicine for him in case of emergency.
On the eve of Fu Yuzhang's departure, the two sat in front of the window of the cabin, looking at the starry sky outside the window, their hearts filled with reluctance and expectation. Fu Yuzhang held Lu Zhiran's hand tightly and said affectionately: "Zhiran, when I come back, I will give you a brand new future."
Tears flashed in Lu Zhiran's eyes. She smiled and nodded, saying, "I believe you, Yuzhang. You must be careful. I will always be here waiting for you."
