On the third day of the road, Cheng Zheng and his party had to pass through Fengping County, and Cheng Zheng had chosen an open road as much as possible. The water and trees here are vast and the jungle is dense, so I am afraid that there will be people hiding in the forest to do evil. Cheng Zheng ordered people to pay close attention, and he did not dare to slack off by the carriage at all times. Yishan asked him to get in the car and talk to him, but he also politely refused.

Sure enough, as he expected, when he passed through the depths of the woods, he saw a group of men in black coming quickly with knives.

"There's an assassin, Miss Protection!"

"Miss, please don't come out." Cheng Zheng drew his long sword and didn't dare to fight forward, so he had to defend the carriage with Jin Feng on the left and right. The men in black were menacing and well-trained, and the local officers and soldiers who came to escort the princess were either killed in one or two moves, or fled in the wilderness, they were on errands in the county every day, where had they seen such a fierce scene. At present, the only people who can compete with the men in black are the elite soldiers recruited all the way from the capital. Cheng Zheng arranged for people to protect him secretly early in the morning, and now the rescuers are surrounded from the outside, and he and Jinfeng and others are fighting inside, attacking inside and outside, and the situation is not bad. Although the sword light and sword shadow ping pong, it is also under Cheng Zheng's control.

Cheng Zheng was swinging his sword below, but he saw a man in black flying to the top of the carriage, and Cheng Zheng also jumped up. Cheng Zheng has his own skills, and of course self-protection is not a problem. However, he had to take care of the princess in the car, and he was also afraid of making moves, and it took a lot of money to make a few moves. At this time, the man in black below had obviously weakened, and the man in black on the roof of the car no longer fell in love with the battle, and withdrew.

Before he could say a word, he saw countless arrows shooting towards the carriage like raindrops under the fire. It turned out that the man in black was not retreating, but changing tactics. The carriage caught fire and began to burn, and the horses galloped away like frightened, and a frightened cry for help came from inside the carriage. Cheng Zheng chased after the horse, and the rest of the people had no intention of fighting, so they took the opportunity to get out and chase the princess. The carriage was already on fire, and the wind caused by the running burned more and more violently. A few steps away from the carriage, Cheng Zheng jumped up from his horse and jumped onto the carriage. The smoke and flames in the car were mixed, and Yishan panicked, shouting and coughing. "Miss, Miss!" Cheng Zheng picked up Yishan and jumped out, rolled on the ground a few times, and finally stopped. Cheng Zheng didn't dare to delay, got up immediately, and asked eagerly, "Miss, how are you?" ”

Yishan was speechless with fear, she lived a peaceful first half of her life, she had never seen such a fierce and vicious scene, and it was rare not to faint now. Cheng Zheng was not allowed to stay longer, the man in black had already followed closely, Cheng Zheng clenched his sword hard, and now he had to fight hard. Cheng Zheng held Yishan in one hand and protected her behind him, while guarding against the black-clothed man in front of him, he could only try to defend as much as possible at the moment. Cheng Zheng is also a person who has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, and his state of mind of not being afraid of danger has already been cultivated, but Yishan is trembling and trembling in the back, and he is very uneasy. Dozens of black-clothed men who attacked surrounded Cheng Zheng, and Cheng Zheng suffered from the enemy on his back and was difficult to care about. At this moment, Jin Feng led his subordinates to rush, and those black-clothed people couldn't withstand a few blows before they all fell to the ground.

However, the fight is not over. Another group of men in black armed with bows and arrows were waiting for them. With the wave of the hand of the middle person, the sharp arrow suddenly flew. Cheng Zheng protected Yishan at the rear, and the fast-flying sword in his hand was like a shield, and none of the enemy's arrows could shoot in. Cheng Zheng's remaining generals at the moment are all elite, and there is still a way to resist this scene. The arrow array attacked for a moment, but failed to make the slightest progress, and the man in black was forced to stop. Throw down your bow and arrows, take out your sword and run for hand-to-hand combat. At this moment, there were only one or twenty people left in Cheng Zheng's team, but there were dozens of people in black. The man in black who was still fighting with Cheng Zheng on the roof of the carriage fell behind Cheng Zheng again, drew his sword and pointed directly at Cheng Zheng, Cheng Zheng swept the tip of his sword, picked the sword of the man in black, and the two sides advanced and retreated, evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish between them. And Jin Feng wanted to help Cheng Zheng, but he was helplessly separated by a few black-clothed people on the periphery, and he couldn't reach it.

After the fight, both sides were tired, but they didn't dare to slack off. Cheng Zheng protected Yishan behind him, and his range of movement was obviously limited, while the man in black who fought with him advanced and retreated freely. Cheng Zheng attacked the man in black, and the man in black retreated again and again.

"Stand still." Cheng Zheng said to Yishan, taking the opportunity to kick the sword of the deceased on the ground, catching it with his left hand, and waiting for the man in black to attack again. The man in black stepped back and landed on the ground, adjusted slightly, and immediately rose to the ground. Cheng Zheng, who was still passive just now, held the dual swords at the moment, and turned to an advantage, while the man in black wanted to break the double swords, but it was difficult, and he lost the other. Cheng Zheng entangled with the man in black with one hand, and attacked violently with the other, stabbing the man in black's heart. The man in black couldn't retreat, his body was slightly on one side, although he didn't stab the vital point, but Cheng Zheng shot fiercely, and he must have been injured a lot. When Cheng Zheng stabbed the man in black, the man in black held back the severe pain, did not pause, and hurriedly picked the sword in Cheng Zheng's other hand and threw it towards Yishan. Cheng Zheng couldn't take back the sword on the man in black, hurriedly withdrew, and rushed towards Yishan, the sword thrown by the man in black passed past Cheng Zheng's ears, which was thrilling. Frightened, Cheng Zheng rushed too fast, his center of gravity was unstable, and he hugged Yishan and fell to the ground at the same time. The man in black threw the sword in his hand at Cheng Zheng, and then drew the sword on his body and threw it again. At this moment, Cheng Zheng didn't have any weapons in his hand, so he had to resist with his bare hands, and swept away a sword with a wave of his arm, who wanted to follow closely behind, Cheng Zheng couldn't dodge, and the sword stabbed directly on the back of Cheng Zheng's right hand.

Cheng Zheng didn't have time to think about it, he pulled out the sword inserted in his right hand with his left hand, and the blood flowed, and he was bloody and confused. Yishan had never seen such a cruel sight, her head was blank, she collapsed to her side, her body trembling and she didn't even have the strength to get up. Cheng Zheng held the sword and stood up, a wound on the back of his hand was clearly visible like a canyon, and the blood gushing out of the wound dripped down the sword like a stream on the ground, his eyes were cold and cold, ready to fight again. And the sword in the man in black is not light, seeing that Cheng Zheng's right hand is injured, the man in black wants to fight his body again and does not allow it, so he is unwilling and has to leave helplessly. At this time, the remaining ten or so men in black saw that the boss was injured and retreated, and they all stopped fighting and took the opportunity to retreat.

Seeing that the enemy had all retreated, and after a while, there was indeed no sound Cheng Zheng lost the sword in his hand, on the one hand, the wound of holding the sword was even more cracked, and the blood was not stopping, on the other hand, it was really unbearable. Cheng Zheng ignored his injuries and helped Yishan up, "Has Miss ever been injured?" ”

"Your hands?" Yishan was very worried, "Your hand hurts." ”

"I'm fine, Miss is fine."

Yishan said anxiously, "Why are you okay, your hand has been bleeding." ”

Cheng Zheng held back the pain and took a deep breath, "Miss, don't worry too much, a little injury to a person who practices martial arts is nothing." Jinfeng, how are you? ”

Jin Feng glanced at the wound on his arm, which was not deep, and replied, "It's okay to be a subordinate. ”

Cheng Zheng asked, "Do these men in black have any clues left?" ”

"The subordinates have just checked, and they are all clean, and there is nothing that can prove the origin of their identity."

"They also came prepared, and if they dropped a clue lightly, they might not be able to believe it. It's not a good place to stay for long, so let's find a place to stay before it gets dark. "Cheng Zheng glanced around, and saw that the remaining dozen or so subordinates were all injured, this jungle is dense and uninhabited, and it is indeed not a place to heal, so let's hurry as much as possible." The carriage has been destroyed, and now the aggrieved lady has to ride a horse. ”

Yishan said timidly, "I, I can't ride a horse." ”

Some of the officers and men fled, some were killed and wounded, and the rest of the horses were sufficient. Jin Feng led the horse over, Cheng Zheng helped Yishan to go up first, and then he went up, and the two of them rode together, "Miss sit firmly." Jinfeng, get some people with mobility problems on the horse, and we rush to the next stop. ”

Cheng Zheng held the reins of the horse and grabbed Yishan, waiting for everyone to get on the horse and set off together. On the way, Yishan took out a handkerchief and wrapped it in Cheng Zheng's hand and gently tied the knot.

In about an hour, we arrived at a small town. The jungle in Fengping County is rich and sparsely populated, and it will take many miles to get to the next place, and the sky is getting dark, so you can only stay here. Finding an inn, Jin Feng went in and took out a gold ingot, "Clean up a few upper rooms and come out, and send someone to invite all your famous doctors here." "The shopkeeper seldom saw such a generous person, and when he saw that a group of them were all armed with swords, the shopkeeper looked frightened, and quickly ordered the men to do it.

The shopkeeper collected the money and really did things neatly, Cheng Zheng had just sat down, and the shopkeeper ran from upstairs with a cigarette, "The room is cleaned up, please come with me, uncles." ”

Cheng Zheng got up, the shopkeeper led the way, and Cheng Zheng led everyone to arrange their own rooms. Yishan was worried about Cheng Zheng's wounds and insisted on refusing to leave. Jinfeng was only injured in the arm, and his movement was quite convenient. Cheng Zheng whispered a few words to Jinfeng, and Jinfeng nodded and left.

Xiao Er sent a pot of tea and put it on the table in Cheng Zheng's room, "The guest officer has worked hard all the way, let's drink some tea first." And Cheng Zheng didn't pay attention.

Soon, several doctors came, and Cheng Zheng just asked them to wait.

After about two cups of tea, Jin Feng came back, just nodded to Cheng Zheng and didn't say anything. Cheng Zheng remained silent, picked up the teapot with his left hand and got two cups of water, one was placed in front of Yishan, and the other was drunk by himself, I still overestimated you after all.

Jin Feng walked up to the doctors waiting on the side, "Please leave the two doctors to treat my son's injuries, and the others will come with me." ”

The doctors, one old and one young, stayed. The old doctor carefully untied the silk handkerchief on Cheng Zheng's hand, and the flesh was blurred, and it was difficult to distinguish the wound. Yishan was blindfolded in fright and turned her head away.

"Zhen'er, go get a basin of hot water and a clean handkerchief." The old doctor commanded.

"Yes, Dad." The young doctor went quickly.

The old doctor took a handkerchief and wiped the blood on Cheng Zheng's hands with hot water, Cheng Zheng frowned and endured nothing. A handkerchief had been dyed red for a while, and the young doctor named Zhen'er hurriedly handed over a clean handkerchief, replaced the dirty one and washed it in the basin. Several times like this, the water in the basin is scarlet and bottomless. When Jin Feng returned after arranging for other doctors, he smelled the sweet and greasy smell in the room, and his brows furrowed. Zhen'er instructed Xiao Er to change a basin of water. After cleaning, the wound was clearly visible, and the bones were deeply visible, and the old doctor was not afraid, and after a moment of inspection, he finally spoke, "Childe's wound is not light." ”

Before Cheng Zheng could speak, Yishan became anxious, "What?" Is it very strict? ”

The old doctor sighed, "If you hurt your muscles and bones, even if the wound recovers in the future, there will be hidden dangers in Childe's hand." ”

Jin Feng asked worriedly, "How can you be so strict?" "This hall is the main general, the powerful side, if you can't hold a sword in your hand in the future, how can you survive.

The old doctor said, "Now let's hurry up and take the medicine." Childe has to bear with it. ”

Cheng Zheng nodded, closed his lips tightly and said nothing. The father and son cooperated with each other to sprinkle gold creation medicine and bandage it, Cheng Zheng was already sweating profusely in pain, and his face was pale. Yishan wiped Cheng Zheng's sweat with her sleeve, distressed and scared.

"Childe's hands should be rested, and he can't dance with knives and guns anymore for the time being." The old doctor is old, has a lot of experience, and speaks with a serious heart, calm and powerful.

Cheng Zheng nodded, "Dr. Lao is diagnosing the injuries of my subordinates." ”

"Okay, please take a seat."

After Jinfeng sat down, the old doctor tore open his sleeve, also cleaned the bloodstains, and after checking it, he said, "This son's injury is much lighter, and the scar can be recovered if it falls off, and it is no big problem." Cheng Zheng relaxed a lot when he heard this. After a short while, Jinfeng's wound was wrapped.

"I'm going to give the two sons some medicine to help the wounds heal sooner. Come with me, really. The old doctor was calm, seeing that they were holding swords and swords, he did not panic in the slightest, and was considerate, but he didn't ask a word.

"Okay." The young doctor stepped over the medicine box and went out with the old man.

"Thank you." Jin Feng sent them out of the room and instructed Xiao Er to bring food into a few rooms.

Yishan wiped Cheng Zheng's cold sweat and comforted, "Don't worry, I heard that the doctors with the highest medical skills are all in the palace." When you go back, they will surely heal you. Don't listen to the nonsense of these young people who have never seen the world. ”

When eating, Yishan took the initiative to pick up the dishes and chopsticks to feed Cheng Zheng, which made Cheng Zheng very embarrassed. "Miss, this is not very good, how can the subordinates work on Miss Jade's hand."

Yishan was unruly and said calmly, "What's wrong?" You are saving my wounds. Now that you've injured your right hand, how can you eat? The doctor also said that you should recuperate, if you do it yourself, the wound will open and repeat, but when will it heal? I will feed you as a reward for saving my life. ”

Cheng Zheng excused himself, "It is the duty of my subordinates to protect Miss, and I don't dare to think that Miss will repay me." ”

"I'm just going to repay it, you still don't accept it, do you dare to accept it?"

"This ...... Miss ......"

"Call me a Shan."

At this moment, Cheng Zheng actually remembered Yilin, facing the same face as Yilin every day, he actually remembered Yilin at this moment. Then the one who had nothing to say to Cheng Zheng was watching the chapter at this time, or discussing political affairs, or looking into the distance at the palace gate?

Yishan picked up the dish and handed it to Cheng Zheng's mouth, "Open your mouth." ”

Cheng Zheng still didn't feel comfortable, "This, this makes people see that it's not good." ”

"Who can see it, now it's just the two of us in the house, if you don't say it, I won't say who knows, and I don't care what someone says, you are a big man, you are not afraid of thousands of troops, afraid of this? Don't talk nonsense, eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while. ”

Cheng Zheng had no choice but to eat. After only eating half a bowl of rice, Cheng Zheng said yes. Yishan said again, forcing Cheng Zheng to eat two bowls. After the meal, Yishan packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went out, and told Cheng Zheng to recuperate.

Cheng Zheng was sitting alone in the room, and Jin Feng knocked on the door, "Young master." ”

"Come in."

Jin Feng closed the door, "Young Master finished eating?" ”

Cheng Zheng gave him a blank look, "You talk nonsense again." ”

Jin Feng pretended to be innocent, "Young Master, what are you doing." The subordinates cared about the young master, but the young master said that I was talking nonsense, what is the reason? ”

Cheng Zheng was helpless and silent, and Jin Feng opened his mouth to ask the right thing: "Will the young master rest here tomorrow or be in a hurry?" ”

"Their leader has been seriously wounded, and he will not come back anytime soon. After this Fengping County, the road ahead is flat and open, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and it is not easy for them to kill. The rest of us have our own casualties, but they are all masters. Not to mention that the trip must not be delayed, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time in this place. ”

Jin Feng reminded, "In this way, I'm afraid that two or three people will be seriously injured and won't be able to keep up with the team." ”

Cheng Zheng nodded, "Let them recuperate here, and then leave when they are better." ”

"Why is the young master so suspicious today, even the dark man can't believe it." Jin Feng knew that this journey had already let the dark people investigate along the way, and if there was a situation, the dark people would tell each other, if there was no news, it would be fine, and Cheng Zheng could act with confidence. And today, I had to meet with the dark man to confirm that I would let my guard down. This is why, when the shopkeeper led him into the door, Cheng Zheng did not invite Yishan to go in as usual, but when the doctor came, he only asked them to wait, and he did not move the tea from Xiao Er's end at first.

Cheng Zheng explained, "It's not that I can't trust my dark people, it's that I overestimated those men in black. Since they came prepared, they must have thought that we were injured in the jungle and would come here to heal, and if it were you, don't you think it would be more effective to ambush here? ”

Jin Feng disagreed, "If there is really an ambush, the dark man will tell him in the morning." ”

Cheng Zhengfu asked, "What if the dark man is also ambushed?" ”

"This, the young master is too worried. The dark man is very hidden, and it is not something that they can find out in three or two days. ”

"If they fail to ambush and are killed by the dark, it is reasonable. But they didn't want to ambush at all, what could be the reason? ”

Jinfeng analyzed, "The subordinates believe that the first possibility is that they are not manpowered, and it is more promising to disperse their forces than to concentrate on fighting to the death." The second possibility is that they are very familiar with the young master, and they know that the young master has secret people to protect him all the way, and the ambush will not succeed easily. There is another possibility, they are afraid that they will affect the people or the young lady, and it is not as convenient to fight in ambush here as outside, and it is inevitable that there will be accidental injuries. ”

Cheng Zheng agreed, "Fighting with them today, although they are fierce, they don't seem to have the intention of harming Miss." ”

"The young master is strict in precautions, even if they intend to, they must pass the young master's level first."

"It's also a possibility. The arrows were not poisonous, which shows that they were afraid of injuring the young lady, which coincided with the situation back then. Seventeen years ago, Miss was robbed on the way back to Dazhao from Xichi, when Miss was still a one-year-old baby, and it was easy to kill Miss if she wanted to. But then Miss appeared in Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, which shows that no matter then or today, their purpose is not to take Miss's life. ”

"The young master suspects that it is the same person as this time?" Jinfeng questioned.

"Just a speculation. If so, they don't care about harming Miss, they just blindly obstruct Miss from returning to the palace, what do they want? ”

Jin Feng sighed, "The mystery of the year was unsolved, and now there is another one." ”

"Well, let's track it down slowly in the future. I'm tired today, so let's go back and rest early. ”

After the catastrophe, the night was safe. Early the next morning, Jinfeng bought a carriage, and before he set off, he saw the doctor named Zhen'er running from yesterday, "Fortunately, I caught up." Zhen'er took out a box, "Here are some medicines and ribbons, my father ordered me to give them to Childe." My father said that the wound of the son is too deep, and if it is not good to give birth, I am afraid that it will be difficult to adjust with the best medicine in the future. ”

"Thank you, doctor, and thank you for me, old man."

As Cheng Zheng thought, it was very calm along the way. Every day, Yishan personally changes the medicine for Cheng Zheng, telling jokes or telling funny stories about her childhood to make him happy, and she doesn't feel bored all the way.
