Chapter 38 I'm the one who's seeking my own death
"Sister, is this your first time going to the royal city?" the little girl asked curiously in the carriage.
"Yes, it's your first time there, how did you know?" Fu Ya asked curiously.
“Because people who have been to the royal city generally call it the Wolf City.” The little girl explained.
"You are quite smart!" Fu Ya praised with a smile.
"Miss, what are you doing in the royal city?"
"I just happened to be passing by and wanted to take a good look around. Little sister, is there any place you think is worth recommending?"
Along the way, the group did not encounter any troubles. Fu Ya chatted a lot with the young woman and girl in the carriage. She learned a lot about the situation in the royal city and also found out that the young woman and girl in front of her were sister-in-law and sister-in-law.
This also made Fu Ya suddenly realize. She felt strange at first, why the young woman was only in her early twenties, but her daughter was so big.
After crossing the last mountain, Lu Kai immediately drove the carriage forward at an accelerated speed. The magnificent royal city in the distance appeared in everyone's sight and continued to expand.
Then a burst of dense horse hoof sounds rang out again, but this time it came from the front. A cavalry team of a hundred people was seen galloping towards them.
The cavalry stopped when they were almost in front of Lu Kai and his group.
"Greetings, Princess!" The leading man got off the carriage and saluted, "Your Majesty saw that the Princess had not returned yet, so he sent us here to pick her up!"
"Thank you for your hard work, get up!" The voice of a beautiful woman rang out in the car.
At this time, Fuya and Lukai realized that the person they rescued was actually the princess of the Itachisia Kingdom. They were both stunned.
Because the two generations of kings of Itachisia have a deep connection with their family, even Olin and the current king Russell are brothers.
It turns out that this is to save one's own people. Is it appropriate to ask for money at this time?
Thinking of this, Lu Kai and Fu Ya couldn't help but look at each other. They saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Was the money just gone like that?
At this moment, a man riding a horse behind the carriage rushed towards the cavalry. It was the guard who was taught a lesson by Lu Kai before.
When the guard walked up to the cavalry captain, he suddenly pointed at Fuya and Luke who were driving the carriage and shouted, "Lan Ning, quickly capture those two bandits. They colluded with the bandits and almost killed the princess and the little princess. He also kidnapped the princess and the little princess to coerce the king."
This sudden scene immediately alerted the cavalrymen, and they all drew their weapons and rushed forward to rescue the emperor.
Fu Ya in the carriage was immediately furious. She hadn't even had the chance to recognize her relatives, but now she was framed as a bad person.
A smile suddenly appeared on Lu Kai's lips, and he disappeared in the carriage.
When he appeared again, he was already in front of the guard who looked like he had succeeded in his evil plan. Lu Kai raised his sword and cut the guard's arms and hands in half with one stroke.
Under the influence of the sword energy, the guard's severed upper body began to float upwards. All this happened so quickly that the guard had no time to react and didn't even feel the pain.
Lu Kai stabbed him in the chest again, pinning him to the void, and said coldly: "Who gave you the courage?"
The guard only then felt the excruciating pain of losing his lower body and hands. He was about to scream reflexively, but the knife in his chest made him unable to make any sound. Only blood continued to flow out of his mouth.
The guard could clearly feel his life slipping away quickly. He looked at Lu Kai with eyes filled with endless fear and regret. He finally knew what kind of person he had encountered.
But it was too late. In just three seconds, the guard completely lost consciousness and said goodbye to this world.
On the way back, the guard kept staring at Lu Kai's back with a bad look in his eyes, which was full of cold murderous intent. Although Lu Kai did not see it, he could feel it clearly even without using his Observation Haki.
Lu Kai actually didn't care about this, he was just furious.
But this guard should never have looked so vicious when he glanced at Fu Ya, which made Lu Kai unable to bear it for a moment.
If Fu Ya had not told Lu Kai to "get the money first", Lu Kai would have wanted to kill the guard long ago.
I didn't expect this guy to run up and die at this time. I don't know where he got the courage from.
Seeing that the guard who complained was killed by Lu Kai, the cavalrymen reacted immediately and rushed towards Lu Kai with weapons in hand.
"Stop it!" An angry shout came from the carriage. All the cavalry stopped and looked towards the carriage.
The princess walked down with a strong anger on her face. She never dreamed that her guards would suddenly do this. She was immediately furious.
"Little sister, little brother, we are really sorry for you. We have been so kind to you, but you still suffered so much." The princess immediately bowed and apologized to Fu Ya and Lu Kai respectively. "Please give me a chance to make amends. I would like to invite you to the palace as a guest."
At this moment, all the cavalry were confused, not knowing what was going on. Weren't these two people criminals? Why did the princess apologize to him, show him such a great courtesy, and invite Lu Kai to the palace as a guest?
"No need!" Lu Kai put the knife back into the sheath at his waist, glanced around coldly, and refused directly.
Then Lu Kai ignored everyone's gazes, led two horses, walked to Fu Ya and said, "Sister, I want to destroy the lair of those bandits."
Upon hearing this, Fu Ya jumped onto one of the horses and said to Lu Kai with a smile, "What are you waiting for?"
Naturally, Fu Ya fully supports what Lu Kai wants to do.
Anyway, they were too embarrassed to ask for money now. Besides, after what happened just now, they had no intention of recognizing their relationship, so naturally they prioritized satisfying Lu Kai's ideas.
Moreover, although they did not get any money from the princess, as bandits they should have quite a bit of money. The tacit brother and sister knew each other's thoughts without even saying a word. After all, they had done a lot of such things recently.
In the past three months, the two of them have been robbing many other thieves, but as people who like to give away money, they have already given the money they earned to people in need.
Lu Kai also immediately mounted his horse, turned his horse around and was about to leave.
"Little sister!"
"Little brother!"
Two voices sounded almost at the same time, one from the princess and the other from the little princess.
Fuya glanced at them and said with a smile: "You are safe, but I suggest you investigate that guy carefully."
After saying this, the two of them drove their horses directly, without looking back, and galloped in the direction they had just come from.
"I haven't repaid their kindness yet." Looking at the backs of the two men riding away, the princess said with some regret.
There is a valley south of Bantou Mountain. In the middle of the valley there is a flat land on which a village was built that could accommodate more than 300 people.
"Say it again?" In the hall of the village, a man with a cold look stared at the person kneeling in front of him and asked angrily.
"Looking back, the two groups of people we just sent out are...all dead!" said the kneeling man in a trembling voice.
The bandit leader clenched his fists, exuding a strong murderous intent, and roared, "Useless, find out who did it immediately."
"Don't check, I did it!"
A voice suddenly came from the air, directly taking over the words of the bandit leader. At the same time, a figure suddenly appeared outside the hall.
