Chapter 2167: Night Attack
After observing for the past few days, they knew that Hongtian would return home by this road every night, and he would not bring any guards with him, so it was the most suitable time to start.
Hongyang didn't have the weapons in his hand, and it was obviously impossible to block these five people with just one arrow, so he looked for an opportunity to escape while fighting. Helplessly, these people guarded very strictly, and did not give him a chance to escape at all, but added several wounds to his body, and warm blood continued to ooze from the wounds, making Hongday's movements gradually slow down, and there were a few more wounds on his body.
When the Dark Guard's knife left a deep invisible scar on Hongday's back, Hongsun finally couldn't stand anymore and fell to the ground, but he still held the blood-stained arrow tightly in his hand, even if he couldn't hurt anyone anymore, he wouldn't let go.
At this moment, there was a flickering fire and noisy footsteps not far away, and the five secret guards knew that it must be Shuntianfu who got the news and rushed here, and they had to leave quickly.
One of the dark guards raised the knife in his hand, intending to kill Hongyang, who was still breathing, but as soon as the knife was about to fall, there was a strong collision, and Shengsheng knocked his knife out, and before he could take a closer look, the footsteps had already come closer, which meant that they had no chance to kill Hongyang again, but Hongyang was so seriously injured, even if he didn't make up for it, he might not be able to survive, so after some weighing, the dark guards chose to leave and did not confront the servants of Shuntianfu.
After receiving the report that something had happened here, the one who brought someone over was Zhang Peng, the head catcher of Shuntianfu, who saw the flash of the blade just now, and immediately made a decision, throwing the scabbard in his hand, so that the secret guard missed.
"Chase, chase me quickly, don't let those people run away." After directing a part of the messengers to chase in the direction of the secret guard's escape, Zhang Peng helped up Hongday, who was twitching on the ground, although he was just a small headcatcher, he had the honor to see Hongday, and immediately recognized Hongday, his whole body tensed up, and he said in a trembling voice: "Quick!" Carry it back to the yamen quickly, and be careful not to aggravate the injury. Also, go and get me the best doctor in the capital right away. ”
The messenger poked his head over and looked at it and said, "Headcatcher, it's so late, where can we go to find the doctor?" Looking at this person, it looks like he is about to die, and I'm afraid it's useless to find a doctor. ”
Zhang Peng glared at him viciously and said, "Do you know who this is, this is Lord Baylor, the fifth Baylor of the dynasty, do you want to seek death when you say this!" ”
Hearing this, the officer quickly shrunk his neck, and didn't dare to say a word, and the next moment, Zhang Peng's roar came from his ears, "If you don't hurry up and ask for a doctor, even if you drag it, you have to drag it for me." ”
The messenger did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed to ask for a doctor, and Hongshi was also carefully taken back to Shuntianfu, Zhang Peng told Shuntianfu Yin about this, and Fuyin immediately rushed over, guarding Hongtian's bedside and did not dare to leave.
Soon after, the doctor was dragged to Shuntianfu, facing Hongtian's injury, he frowned greatly, so many wounds, so much blood in his body was lost, if the bleeding could not be stopped in time, the weak breath would be broken at any time.
The other wounds were fine, but the wound on Hongday's back was too deep to stop the bleeding quickly, and after applying a thick layer of medicine, blood continued to seep out.
The doctor frowned at this, and arched his hand towards Shuntianfu Yin: "My lord, this person is so seriously injured, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ......."
Before he finished speaking, Shuntian Mansion Yin had already covered his mouth and said: "Doctor, no matter what method you use, you must save Lord Belle's life, if he has three longs and two shorts, you and this official will die, understand?" ”
The doctor was at a loss and said, "But...... This wound is so deep, the villain really can't stop the bleeding! ”
"Don't tell this to the official, the palace is not interested in listening, in short, no matter what you do, you must stop the bleeding and survive tonight, and when it dawns tomorrow, the official will play the emperor's favor and ask the imperial doctor to come to treat it, and then there will be nothing for you, understand?"
The doctor wiped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, the villain will do his best." After realizing that he had no way out, he smeared the entire bottle of medicine on Hongyang's wound, and then wrapped it tightly with gauze, trying to tighten the wound as much as possible, delaying the flow of blood, as long as the blood can be coagulated, Hongday's life will hopefully be saved.
In addition, he ordered someone to quickly decoction the medicine, forcibly poured it, and then pricked the acupuncture points with silver needles, and finally made Hongday's blood gradually stop, but the situation was still not optimistic, and the breath was faint several times as if it was about to be broken.
This night was as long as a year for Shuntianfu Yin and the doctor, and Shuntianfu Yin went to wait outside the palace gate earlier, and as soon as it opened, he invited someone to the Yangxin Hall to spread the word, saying that there was something important about Wubeile to meet the saint.
Yinzhen was washing under the service of Sixi, and heard that it was related to Hongtian, and immediately ordered Shuntianfu Yin to enter the Yangxin Palace to meet him, and when Shuntianfu Yin told Hongtian that Hongday's life was in danger, Yinzhen almost fainted, and after reluctantly calming down, he ordered Xiaowu to quickly let the imperial doctor go to Shuntianfu, and went to the palace to invite Imperial Doctor Xu to also come, and he must save Hongtian's life.
After Xiao Wu stepped back, Yin Zhen stroked his forehead and sat down and asked Shuntian Mansion Yin, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Do you know who assassinated Brother Wu?" ”
Shuntianfu Yin said with shame on his face: "When I returned to the emperor's words, I heard Zhang Peng, the head catcher who went there at that time, say that it was a group of people in black, but unfortunately he couldn't catch it." ”
"Block the city gates, you must catch them!" Yin Zhen gritted his teeth and said, before the secret dove sneaked into the palace, and now there is a man in black who stabbed Hongday, he suspects that there is a connection between the two, it is likely that Hongshi instigated, but Hongshi already intends to provoke a war between the two countries, what else is he doing to kill Hongday, is it to vent his anger?
Either way, until the assassins are caught, these are speculations that cannot be proven.
Yin Zhen endured the worries in his heart and went to the early court, and then didn't tell anyone, and went directly to Shuntian Mansion with Sixi, thanks to a period of recuperation in the Old Summer Palace, his body was much better, otherwise there would be no way to leave the Forbidden City.
When Yinzhen arrived over there, Rong Yuan was administering needles to Hongtian, and several imperial doctors gathered together to consider the prescription, with Hongzhen's extremely weak body now, the medicine that was too strong could never be used, and it was really difficult for them to maintain a certain effect while reducing the power of the medicine.
After Yinzhen entered, without waiting for them to salute, he asked eagerly, "How is the situation?" But is it safe? ”
"Emperor Qi, Imperial Physician Xu is still administering needles to Lord Beile, but ...... The situation of Lord Belle is not optimistic. "When they arrived here today, Hongday's face showed a bloodless pale, and his snort seemed to be nothing, they didn't dare to do anything at that time, until Rong Yuan came over, he was the main needle, and the others discussed the prescription and tried to use the mildest medicine to treat Hongday.
