Chapter 49: The Attack (Part II)
Zhu Xiaobao looked a little sluggishly at Steward Gu who was busy helping Lu Tong pull out the arrow, he was injured by the sword, it was actually very painful, not that he could pull the arrow off immediately, the arrow had a barb, and the flesh on both sides of the wound must be cut off before the arrow was raised, otherwise a large piece of flesh and skin would be torn off! Therefore, the process of pulling out the arrow is also another process of menstrual injury, and there is no anesthetic during this period, at most a lot of alcohol, to numb your pain to the greatest extent!
Although Zhu Xiaobao also knows some medical knowledge, he doesn't know how to do it, and now he doesn't have the guts! can only take out a face towel to help Lu Tong wipe the cold sweat on his forehead! Because it was so painful, Lu Tong's forehead was already full of cold sweat! But when Lu Tong saw Zhu Xiaobao wiping his sweat for himself, he actually closed his eyes very shyly, after all, she is now with her back exposed, and it will be even more embarrassing to pull out the arrow on her thigh later!
But Zhu Xiaobao has no other thoughts at all now, there is blood everywhere, how can he have other thoughts, he is thinking about what to do for these female guards!
……
Wu Yue ran all the way with the people and horses, alarming the entire imperial city, Wu Yue didn't care about these at all, she just wanted to hurry up and save people. I arrived at the scene of the incident in a quarter of an hour, and saw the bodies of two female guards along the way! They were all shot with arrows in their bodies. But there was also an accident, that Lu Fang did not die, but the war horse was shot, she was thrown out, fell into a mud pond, broke two ribs, and fainted! Although it was very embarrassing, there were no serious injuries!
rushed to the location of Wu Lijia's team, the situation in front of him was very bad, there were several female guards lying on the ground, two of the four carriages were also burned, and Wu Lijia was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but she was very strong and broke the arrow from the wound! Only keep the arrow in her shoulder, otherwise her movement will be very inconvenient! This is also a more experienced practice!
By this time, the attackers had all withdrawn! This is also the same as what Chief Wu estimated, the other party will definitely not wait! Now that the goal has been achieved, of course it is withdrawn!
"Sister Lijia! It's all my fault, I should go to Qingliangshan with you! Wu Yue jumped off the horse, hugged Wu Lijia and cried!
"It's not your fault! If you go along, you'll do the same! The other party is targeting our Nineteenth Princess's Mansion! It's a pity that in the end, I couldn't save those two carriages! Wu Lijia patted Wu Yue and comforted.
It turned out that the other party saw that Lu Tong broke through and went out for help, and at the same time he couldn't effectively shoot these female guards, so he turned his target to the four carriages! Switched to four carriages with rockets, the remaining forty guards, they couldn't take care of the four carriages at all, they could only guard two nearby, and the remaining two carriages were set on fire, and the horses were also shot to death, and the tea leaves inside were flammable, so it didn't take long for them to become a raging fire! The scent of jasmine flowers was also in the air! It turned out that one of the wagons was loaded with freshly picked jasmine!
But the billowing smoke also provided Wu Lijia and them with some help, but the other party couldn't see them clearly! Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Lijia and the others also launched several counterattacks and shot several people on the other side! The change in the situation made the other party withdraw quickly!
Wu Yue led people to quickly extinguish the fire and save people, and at the same time sent sharp soldiers around to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on the second time! All this was done very decently, Mr. Wu nodded, his daughter is still a little talented in this regard, and she is not blindly impulsive!
What is surprising is that in a burned carriage, the goods that were pressed under it were not damaged, it turned out that the jasmine was freshly picked and the humidity was very high, so it was not burned! All that burned was a layer stacked on top!
In this attack, six female guards were killed and eleven were injured, not counting those who were slightly injured! burned two carriages, the damage was not very large, but it also made Wu Yue annoyed, because those female guards were the greatest wealth of the princess's mansion!
……
In the Seventh Princess's mansion, Duanmuqi is reporting to the Seventh Princess, and the Seventh Princess is still nibbling on pickled pepper phoenix claws! While listening, he was gnawing, and he interjected and asked, "You mean, those people are the people of the fourteenth sister?" ”
"That's right! Judging by the news that came back from the eyeliner I planted in the fourteenth princess, it should be the fourteenth princess! Last night, two coffins were transported out of the Fourteenth Princess's Mansion, and one of the guards next to the Fourteenth Princess was also injured! It's an arrow wound! "It turns out that the Seventh Princess has not been idle all these years, and as early as a few years ago, she sent a lot of people to sneak into the major royal mansions, or major families, to find out all kinds of information! It's equivalent to an undercover agent now! The fourteenth princess is the best arrangement, because she has to update the noodles she raises from time to time, and Duanmuqi's subordinates have been replaced by three, and there is no way that the fourteenth princess will be updated after a few months! So Duanmuqi had no choice but to follow the update! So I know every move of the fourteenth princess very well! Even the fourteenth princess has hemorrhoids on her buttocks, Duanmu Qi knows it clearly!
"Oh? This is not the idea of the sixth brother, right? Fourteenth sister, is this going to be Xiyuan City? The seventh princess stopped eating chicken feet and asked with a frown.
"Huh! She can be regarded as self-aware, knowing that she has no drama, so she simply sent someone to attack the nineteenth princess, which can be regarded as venting her personal anger! It is estimated that His Royal Highness Sixth has no hope for his younger sister, if she goes to Xiyuan City, I estimate that she will not live for more than three months! Duanmuqi said with a smile.
"Hmmm! Nineteen Sister's subordinates can be regarded as having some abilities! But this kind of small scene can't show the real strength! The seventh princess said with some disdain, she had commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, and she had seen a lot of that kind of huge scene, so she didn't pay attention to this kind of small-scale battle at all!
"But we should have made our decisions earlier! You've been in the Imperial City for almost a month! "Duanmu Qi reminded the Seventh Princess a little bit!
"I know! You think I'm having fun, huh? I'm looking for money, and the things in the hands of the nineteenth sister are very profitable! Besides, you promised to help me make a ceiling fan, have you thought about the toilet, don't you can't make it then! I'll let you climb up to the roof and fan me!! The Seventh Princess said a little threateningly, of course it was just a joke between them.
"Huh! Just a little bit of detail! Old decay will definitely be solved! Duanmuqi nodded a little distressed, as a staff member, he still had to do these things!
"Alas! It's time to settle the matter of Xiyuan City as soon as possible, Zhao Meng has a lot of expenses every month! There are still so many warships to be repaired and updated, and the soldiers' weapons, armor, and war horses don't cost anything! "The Seventh Princess is also a little troubled, three million troops, and the daily expenses are tens of thousands of taels of gold! Of course, many things are not calculated in gold, those local tyrants and landlords and major families, basically use all kinds of materials to pay off taxes, grain, cloth, firewood, ironware, etc., so just from the gold and silver payments in Shanghai can not be seen so terrifying! But the Seventh Princess knew that money was far from enough! Once the world is really in chaos, the amount of money to be used will be doubled!
"But now Xia Zixiu, the son of Xia Zhongkun, the Duke of Fuguo, is going to succeed as the city lord of Xiyuan City, which is very difficult! I don't know what the princess has to do? Duanmu Qi frowned a little, this was something he and the Seventh Princess hadn't expected, what was originally relatively easy, but now it has become very complicated! Xia Zhongkun is the city lord who was killed! His son now wants to inherit the position of Xiyuan City Lord, which is very justifiable, and even the Seventh Princess is not easy to object! That's why Duanmuqi asked.
"What's that? Since Lao Tzu can't do it, the son can't do it? Why can't I send someone to assist him? "The seventh princess is very thoughtful, she wants the nineteenth princess and Xia Zixiu to guard Xiyuan City together, one is the other, anyway, she doesn't expect the nineteenth princess to really do anything!
"Princess Mingjian!" Duanmu Qi bowed and said, the idea of the seventh princess in this regard is still very unique, and it makes the originally complicated things simpler, as for how the nineteenth princess and Xia Zixiu get along, it is none of her business!
……
There are six coffins in the Nineteenth Princess's Mansion, which are used to house the six female guards who died in battle, and they must be sent back to Qingliang Mountain! So now the atmosphere in the Nineteenth Princess's Mansion is very depressing, and there are not even people who speak loudly!
The eleven female guards who were injured had basically been dealt with, and only one was disabled and could no longer stay in the escort team! The remaining ten people are fine, they are all traumatic!
Wu Yue was going to set off today, firstly, to transport the six coffins back, and secondly, to escort the tea back again. In addition, there is a task, that is, to recruit another 200 guards, this time there is no limit to men and women, and now they have begun to slowly increase their strength!
This attack also made the nineteenth princess see her own shortcomings, not only the guards around her are not enough, but also the emergency medicine cotton cloth in the house is insufficient, especially the cotton cloth, which must be scalded and disinfected with boiling water before it can be used, but then it is not enough at all, the cotton cloth that was originally soaked in water is greatly reduced in water absorption, plus more than a dozen wounded people at once, so in the end it was very embarrassing, fortunately there is Zhu Xiaobao's toilet paper, used to wipe and clean, but it is very convenient, throw it away after use, and there is no need to wash and scald it again, I didn't expect Zhu Xiaobao's toilet paper to be so useful! The nineteenth princess took out all the toilet paper she had there. Even the toilet paper from Zhu Xiaobao was requisitioned, leaving a knife for Zhu Xiaobao!
Zhu Xiaobao didn't care, he was now hurrying to make another batch, those female guards were really pitiful! Zhu Xiaobao felt very sorry for them, so this time he consciously went back to work! But Zhu Xiaobao is also very touched, what should he do, he can't imagine that the crisis will come so quickly, if he goes to Xiyuan City with him, if he encounters an attack on the way, he has no ability to protect himself, and he can't do any martial arts! It's no fun thing to be fed through!
Zhu Xiaobao was counting with his fingers: iodine wine, cotton wool, anesthetics, scalpels, shadowless lamps, gauze, bandages...... So much fucking stuff, can I figure it out?
