Chapter Seventy-Five: Who is the Shadow Guard?
Han Yi is a good hunter and is extremely sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment. Although he was a subordinate, the Xu family treated him with courtesy, and Qian Feng valued his loyalty, so he let him rest in this courtyard.www.biquge.info
When Qiu Jin and the others entered the courtyard, they startled Han Yi. Countless dark nights in the deep mountains and old forests have trained Han Yi's extraordinary eyesight. With the help of the moonlight, the movements of the two are delicate. He observed for a moment, and saw that the two of them were sneakily casting smoke, and knew that it was not a good way. Quietly bent their bows and arrows in the room, and when the two of them withdrew from the other room, they were quietly discussing with their backs to him. Suddenly opened the door, aimed at one of them, and with a "buzz", the arrow was off the string.
Qiu Jin and the others never thought that they would be attacked by bows and arrows here. The feather arrow is extremely fast, and it goes straight to the enemy. And Qiu Jin is worthy of being an expert in using knives, listening to the wind to distinguish the position, reflexively holding the knife to block, "ding" the ground, the arrow bounced out, obliquely into the soil.
Before the two could react, the second arrow broke through the air and shot straight at Wang Wenbin's heart. Wang Wenbin flashed sharply, only to hear a "poof", the feather arrow shot into his left shoulder, with his body fell forward, touching the front door panel and making a "bang" sound, in this quiet night, it was heard far away. Wang Wenbin's heart is so dangerous, this arrow is fast and ruthless, if it is shot, he will be killed immediately.
Qiu Jin was shocked and angry, helped Wang Wenbin, kicked the door open, turned over and hid in the corner by the door. There were three people sleeping in this room, who had been smoked by them and were in a coma.
It's too late and that's fast, it's just a snap of a finger.
Seeing this, Shadow Wind no longer hid, dodged into the courtyard, and drank: "Who is coming? At this time, the situation reversed, and it became Han Yi and Ying Feng in the light, and Qiu Jin in the dark. Rushing in is obviously not a good idea. Shadow Wind pretended not to know, and saw how the two of them responded. After all, Wang Wenbin was injured, and they couldn't afford it.
Qiu Jin helped Wang Wenbin cover his wound, put his index finger and middle finger together with his right hand, and quickly clicked a few acupuncture points on his back and chest to stop the bleeding. The arrow was very powerful, from the back to the front shoulder, revealing a small tip in front of Wang Wenbin, and he was in a cold sweat.
Wang Wenbin's face was pale, he grabbed Qiu Jin's hand tightly, and said, "That archery man is probably the shadow guard." The person in the courtyard is Qian Feng's long-term follower, I have seen him in Yangzhou City, and he has been following Qian Feng, and his martial arts are not weak. You help me cut off the shaft of the arrow, I will go and lead the long follower, you take advantage of Qian Feng's arrival, quickly knock down the man who shot the arrow, and take away the evidence. ”
Qiu Jin looked hesitant, although he was ruthless, he was not ruthless. worked with Wang Wenbin to do things for the palace, and when they encountered things, they all relied on Wang Wenbin's advice and accomplished several major things, and the two gradually gained a firm foothold in the palace. has been side by side for many years, and there is a bit of life and death friendship. Qiu Jin's arrow wound is not light, in this case, to lure away the long follower, I am afraid that there will be no return.
Wang Wenbin hurriedly said: "Speed! When Qian Feng comes out, everything will be suspended." ”
Qiu Jin gritted his teeth, the scar on the side of his face twitched with his expression, and his hand rose and fell, cutting off the arrow shaft behind Wang Wenbin. Wang Wenbin snorted, felt out the gold sore medicine and sprinkled it on the wound, and said bitterly: "Don't worry, I only injured my left shoulder, and it doesn't affect my body." I led the entourage to the backyard, and he must have some scruples, and I would take advantage of the chaos to escape. ”
looked up at Qiu Jin's eyes and said, "Our lives are in your hands." ”
Qiu Jin nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely live up to my trust and get back the evidence." As he spoke, he quickly tore the sheet into several strips and tied Wang Wenbin's left shoulder wound.
The two glanced at each other, and Wang Wenbin raised his voice and said: "This brother, my two brothers are under the gate of West Dongting Mountain, passing through Chuzhou, and some of them are borrowing some property. Why bother to force each other so much?" There are many bandits on Taihu Lake, and West Dongting Mountain is one of the seventy-two cottages in Taihu Lake.
Shadow Wind was secretly amused when he heard it, since neither side wanted to reveal their identities, they might as well play this scene. Signaling Han Yi with his eyes, he was on guard, and he said: "Look at Your Excellency's methods, it's not just as simple as borrowing property. ”
Wang Wenbin nodded towards Qiu Jin and said softly, "We act at the same time." I'll go out through the back window, and you go and pester the man who shoots the arrow. After saying that, he raised his voice and laughed: "Brother Tai Gaojian." I heard that there was a little lady in the Qian Mansion today, and I wanted to steal incense and jade. ”
Wang Wenbin laughed loudly as he spoke, endured the pain in his left shoulder, and broke out of the window. Tap your feet and run straight to the backyard.
At the same time as he broke the window, Qiu Jin rushed out of the room with a big knife in his hand. In order to prevent hidden arrows, the big knife dance is so bad that the water cannot be splashed.
When Ying Feng heard Wang Wenbin's words, although he knew that he was hiding people's eyes, he saw him go straight to the backyard, worried about Xu Wan's real safety, and was anxious.
Han Yi didn't know what to do, thinking that it was Jiangyang thieves who came at the women and children of the Xu family. Han Yi has been with Ying Feng for the past few days, but he only knows that this person is taciturn, and his martial arts far surpass his own. But seeing that Qian Feng trusted him so much, he must be an extremely reliable person. He is just a hunter, and he doesn't know these high-level kung fu, and he can only stop that person when he goes to the backyard. Hurriedly said: "I'm here to block it, you go to protect the Xu family." ”
At the critical moment, Shadow Wind nodded and said, "You block it first." He followed Wang Wenbin away. He knew in his heart that although Han Yi's bow and arrow were good, his close-quarters martial arts were far inferior to Qiu Jin. But this is Qian Feng's courtyard, and people will arrive one after another, and Han Yi's life should be safe.
Qiu Jin didn't pay any attention to Ying Feng's departure, he only had Han Yi in his eyes. With Wang Wenbin's words in front, he wholeheartedly believed that Han Yi was the shadow guard who had been hidden for a long time. In addition, Han Yi injured Wang Wenbin as soon as he made a move, and he used all his energy to treat him as a big enemy, and he didn't dare to venture easily.
Han Yi had arrows in his pocket, seeing that the sword was bright but not panicking, he knew that delaying time was beneficial to him. Retreat into the room and defend with arrows.
The backyard of the Qian Mansion was still immersed in sleep at this time, like an unguarded child.
Xu Wanzhen never recovered because of the cold, drank more tea, woke up on the fifth watch, and went to the clean room behind the bed to clean her hands. She was used to being independent alone in her previous life, and when she arrived in the Gaomang Dynasty, she was not used to being served by someone. When she was in Suzhou, she never wanted a maid to serve at night. It was only on the ship, with limited cabins, that Sang Zi rested in the room outside her house.
When he arrived at the Qian Mansion, the courtyard was spacious, so Xu Wanzhen sent Sang Zi down to rest, and now he doesn't alarm others when he gets up at night. After cleaning her hands, Xu Wanzhen was half-lying on the bed, stroking the white jade bracelet on her wrist with her hand, thinking about its origin, and she felt sleepy.
Xu Wanzhen simply got up, put on her coat, and lit the candle. Sitting at the table, the candle flame was lit, and the silver threads swimming in the white jade bracelet were observed.
Wang Wenbin came to the backyard, looked at the structure of the house, and went straight to the middle of the house. Although the mansions of the Gaomang Dynasty are different in the construction of gardens, there are certain rules for the construction of houses, and the houses where the masters live can be known at a glance.
Shadow Wind followed, and if he wanted to intercept him as soon as possible, it was best not to alarm everyone in the Xu family.
Looking at the heavy houses in the backyard, Wang Wenbin paused for a moment, where should he go? Zhengjue was at a loss, and suddenly saw a candle in a room in front of him, like a bean. I am very happy in my heart, there must be a woman in this room, and if she is held hostage, the danger can be solved.
Shadow Wind chased after him, and he didn't care about hiding his tracks. The force under his feet shot into the house with a "boom".
Ying Feng saw it from a distance, and the door was rushed open by Wang Wenbin, and Xu Wanzhen raised a surprised jade face under the lamp. There was a "thump" in his heart, like a stone pressed to his chest.
The last thing he wanted to see happened.
