A few big men are just gangsters, and they often get together to drink and gamble. I heard that there is a new bookshop opened on this street, and the shopkeeper there is a rare beauty.

So, a few people went to the teahouse opposite for a few days and found that there was really a beautiful woman. She must not have been married yet. There were no men around her, just a few boys following her. It was not enough.

fear.

They put a drug in the tea they brought to the boy and knocked him down.

A few big men were very self-aware and knew that such powerful ladies should not be offended, so they drove them all away.

Moreover, the appearance of the shopkeeper's wife in front of me is better than that of ten famous ladies.

Someone quietly closed the doors and windows, the light in the room instantly dimmed, and the dangerous atmosphere continued to spread.

Le Rui glanced at the ugly men opposite who were licking their lips and swallowing saliva. She looked down and neatly arranged the drafts on the table one by one with a calm expression.

"Boss, boss, she doesn't seem to be afraid of us."

Normally, if a woman is surrounded by several men like this, she will be so frightened that she screams. She is the first to be so calm, which makes people feel a bit weird.

The big man standing at the front said disdainfully: "It's just a bluff. This little lady is quite smart. I like it. When I am satisfied enough, you can come on again, do you hear me?"

"Hey, okay, hehe..."

A few people didn't dare to disobey him and stood still, smiling so much that they were trying to please him.

With a malicious smile on his face, the big man was about to open his arms and hug the beauty to satisfy his lust.

Le Rui picked up a bench and smashed it into the big man's face.

The big man immediately lay on the ground with his head dizzy, and there were red marks on his face from being hit by the bench.

When several other people saw this, they immediately rushed forward and surrounded her.

At the same time, a carriage drove slowly outside the bookstore, and the people sitting in the car opened the curtain and looked over.

Every time An Ruozhi passes by here, he will habitually look inside.

From this angle, he could always see her sitting there writing a storybook. He always looked at her for a while before leaving.

The carriage he was riding in was also very inconspicuous and usually did not attract too much attention. Le Rui never knew that he was here.

An Zhiruo's current status is not that he cannot ride in a magnificent carriage, let alone wear silk and satin, but that he has been accustomed to a poor life since he was a child, and his style of dealing with things is also very low-key.

In today's bookstore, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and the boy fell to the ground. It was obvious that something had happened.

An Zhiruo's face tightened, and he immediately jumped down from the carriage, raised his foot and kicked the door hard. When he saw that it didn't work, he quickly hit it with his shoulder.

He didn't know martial arts, but now he was trying his best to save people. The groom also came to help, and the two of them knocked down the door together.

"Le Rui! Le Rui!"

An Zhiruo rushed in in a hurry and paused slightly when he saw this situation.

Several tall men surrounding Le Rui in the room, including her, all looked over. An Zhiruo looked like a little chicken against their backdrop.

However, no one expected that this little chicken was not afraid at all and actually rushed over like a whirlwind and quickly hit the chin of one of the tall men with his head.

"Get out of my way!"

"ah--"

The tall man screamed in pain and fell to the side. He held his chin that was knocked crooked, pointed at An Zhiruo opposite him, and mumbled something that no one understood.

But what he expressed was obviously to let An Ruozhi be beaten to death.

An Zhiruo endured the severe pain in his head and successfully came to Le Rui, protecting her behind him, "Le Rui, don't be afraid."

Le Rui looked at him blankly for a long time before saying, "How do you know my name?"

It seemed like she had never told him her name.

An Zhiruo didn't hear her words. All his attention was focused on the strong men opposite, with gloomy faces.

"My official is An Zhiruo, the fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry. If I make any mistake, His Majesty will make the decision for me. Who of you dares to touch me?"

He uses his status to oppress people, and it seems he doesn't even know how to write the word "fear".

However, Le Rui knew that she looked down and saw that the hand holding her arm was trembling uncontrollably.

A person's body language can best reflect a person's psychological activities. He can bluff people on the surface, but he doesn't know how scared he is in his heart.

Several strong men looked at each other, and when they saw that he was dressed like a civilian, they knew he was lying, so they didn't care, raised their fists and swung at him.

An Zhiruo was panicked, but he did not let go of Le Rui. Instead, he turned around and hugged her, using his back as a shield. He closed his eyes tightly in fear.

"Don't, don't be afraid, Le Rui, don't, I will protect you, don't be afraid..."

Le Rui: "..."

Who is afraid?

She stayed in his warm embrace and couldn't help but feel her ears heat up. She caught a glimpse of someone rushing over from the corner of her eye, and her eyes instantly became extremely cold.

Le Rui pushed him away and threw the bench in her hand, which happened to swell the man's fist.

People around her swarmed her, and she dodged sideways. Her movements and body shape were very smooth, and she raised her foot to directly kick a man over.

The bench is also versatile in the hand. You can hit your head, face, stomach, or butt.

It looked like Le Rui's body skills were well practiced. This time, he bullied many with a small amount, and several people in the room fell down.

Some people covered their faces that were red after being hit, and some people covered their stomachs that were kicked, and they all let out a wailing sound.

An Zhiruo was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth.

She, she, she...she is so amazing!

Le Rui put down the bench with a cold face, grabbed An Zhiruo's hand and walked out.

An Zhiruo walked behind her like a little daughter-in-law, asking in a low voice: "Where are we... going?"

"Of course I should go back to the palace and talk to His Majesty and the Queen about this matter."

After sitting in the carriage, An Zhiruo endured it, but finally couldn't hold it back and praised: "Your skills are so good, but I... I am a little bit speechless."

He smiled bitterly, secretly despising himself for being such a manly man, but he almost pissed himself at the critical moment, and instead needed the protection of a woman.

He is really useless.

Le Rui said: "I learned this from fighting with people in the past. If you spend all day in books and don't know this, it is normal. There is no need to belittle yourself."

An Zhiruo looked at her seriously, then immediately looked away, the corners of his lips slightly curved.

Strangely, after being comforted by her in this way, the feeling of self-ashaming disappeared.

"By the way, you just said you fight. Are there people fighting and causing trouble in brothels?"

An Zhiruo sounded concerned and wanted to know more about her.
