Chapter 57: Assassination
In the moonlight, the arrows were as fast as lightning. As soon as Zong Xiu was knocked down, he heard the muffled sound of 'aggressiveness', and seven or eight sharp arrows shot from strong bows and crossbows were fiercely nailed to the ground.
Yi reacted very quickly, threw away the pipa directly, slapped his left and right hands on his belt at the same time, and pulled out two soft swords with a 'swish'.
"Dare thief, dare to assassinate my son-in-law!"
Yi poured out his apricot eyes with anger, and rushed out with his sword.
Zong Xiu was anxious and shouted, "The girl is back!" Don't be impulsive. ”
"Childe, go and hide in the house, and wait for me to kill the thief!"
Yi poured out a soft voice, and the two soft swords swung rapidly, knocking down the arrows that came again.
Under the moonlight, the red clothes are fluttering, and the sword is like a dragon.
The sword danced faster and faster, and the pace became more and more urgent. When Yi poured out of the small courtyard, he saw a raft moored by the river, on which stood seven or eight black-clothed masked men armed with strong bows and crossbows.
"Thief! Take your life! ”
Yi poured love lotus steps and danced, and rushed towards the riverside quickly.
In the small courtyard, Zong Xiu only felt that his chest was hot and damp, and the smell of blood was pungent. Looking at Jiang Chen again, his brows were furrowed together, and his facial features were hideous and terrifying because of the pain.
On Jiang Chen's left shoulder, half of the jet-black arrow was exposed, and red blood flowed down the arrow.
"Brother Jiang!" Zong Xiu exclaimed, struggled to get up, and dragged Jiang Chen to the house: "Quick, go into the house." ”
Zong Xiu was worried about encountering a stray arrow, so he dragged Jiang Chen to the house to find a place to hide.
Outside the courtyard, the sound of gold and iron colliding was incessant, and it seemed that Yi Chengqing had already exchanged hands with the assassins.
In the sky, the moon hangs high.
On the bank of the Qujiang River, a red shadow flutters like a frightening flood, and seven or eight black shadows are surrounded by vertical and horizontal leaps, sword dancing and dragon.
The killing intent and the river wind rise together, and the sword momentum resonates with the waves.
In the main hall, Zong Xiu dragged Jiang Chen behind the door, looking at the half-cut arrow exposed, he was anxious, except for hurriedly finding a rag to cover the arrow around the arrow to stop the bleeding, he didn't know how to deal with it.
Now in ancient times, once this kind of penetrating wound is not handled well, it is very likely that people will die.
"Brother Jiang, don't sleep, don't sleep!"
Zong Xiu called nervously.
With a large amount of blood lost, Jiang Chen felt a little sleepy, and when he heard the urgent call in his ear, he couldn't help but raise his head and grin.
"My lord, Jiang has a bad life, and it is Jiang's honor to be able to block arrows for adults. If I unfortunately die today, please remember my feelings today and take care of my wife and children in the future. ”
He was a real man, and he was shot through the shoulder, and he didn't even scream in pain.
It's just that this smile is a little hideous.
Zong Xiu's eyes were moist: "It's an honor to fart!" All men are created equal, no one is more noble than whom, you sober me up! If you dare to die, no one will help you take care of your wife and children, hurry up and sober me up! Don't sleep! ”
As a normal person, it was the first time in his life that he was assassinated, and it was impossible to say that he did not panic. Zong Xiu can at least say a full sentence, and his psychological quality is good.
Outside, after a few more screams, the sound of the fight gradually disappeared.
However, after a while, Yi Xiangqing rushed into the house with two swords, and only when he saw that Zong Xiu was intact did he breathe a sigh of relief: "Childe, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, take a look at Brother Jiang."
Seeing that Yi was back, Zong Xiu didn't care about asking about the assassin's situation, and urged Yi to take a look at Jiang Chen's injury.
He is also in a hurry to go to the doctor.
"This is an arrow wound, we must stop the bleeding first."
Yi Qingqing hurried back to his room, but after a while, he brought scissors and two small porcelain bottles, and some yarn silks squatted next to Jiang Chen. She first used scissors to cut through Jiang Chen's shirt on his shoulders, then poured out a yellow-brown medicinal powder from a bottle and carefully smeared it on both sides of his shoulders.
As soon as the powder was sprinkled, the blood was miraculously reduced, although it did not completely stop.
"Don't you have to pull it out?"
Zong Xiu looked at the exposed black arrows and asked nervously.
Yi Qingqing frowned slightly, carefully cut off the arrow feathers with scissors, and then held the arrow blade exposed in front of his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, it may be a little painful, bear with it." ”
"It's okay, when Jiang was fighting back then, what kind of injury did he ...... Hiss ......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Yi poured out a fierce tug, and half of the arrow shaft came out in response, and Jiang Chen was sweating profusely.
The red blood gushed out again, and Yi poured a handful of medicinal powder on the wound: "Childe, help me open that bottle, you will pour it as soon as I let go." ”
Zong Xiu hurriedly opened the porcelain vase and held it on Jiang Chen's shoulder.
Yi Qingqing first let go of the hand covering his back.
"Pour!"
The honey-like potion was poured out of the porcelain bottle and clung tightly to the wound.
Yi took the porcelain vase with his free hand and carefully poured it down the edge of the wound in front of him. Waiting for the viscous ointment to cover the wound, the bleeding was stopped, and the wound was wrapped in a gauze silk.
"Alright."
After Yi poured out his feelings to deal with Jiang Chen's injuries, he didn't say a word superfluously, cleaned up the bloodstained rags on the ground, and brought water to wipe the blood stains on the ground.
Jiang Chengang lost more blood again, and he sat on the ground for a long time and didn't get up.
Zong Xiu felt ashamed, after all, Jiang Chen was injured to save him.
Especially the position where the arrow shot was directly facing his front door, if Jiang Chen hadn't knocked him down, he would have died sooner.
Zong Xiu looked at the sky, carefully helped Jiang Chen up, and said, "Brother Jiang, I'll help you back to the room to rest first, and when my sister-in-law comes tomorrow, I'll send you home to see the doctor." ”
"That'...... Thank you, sir. ”
As soon as the assassination came out, the two of them were scared away from drunkenness, Jiang Chen was injured now, and he couldn't go back when he went home, he grinned and endured the pain, and walked to the bedroom with Zong Xiu's support.
After settling Jiang Chen, Zong Xiu returned to the courtyard again.
Yi Chengqing seemed to have known that Zong Xiu would come out, she was covered in blood, standing under the tree pretty, looking at each other calmly with apricot eyes, her lips moved slightly, with self-blame.
Zong Xiu's face was cold, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious: "What about the assassins? ”
"Kill three, the others run away."
"Is there a corpse left?".
"Fighting by the river, the surviving assassins threw their bodies into the river, and I didn't stop them."
"Whew~"
Zong Xiu let out a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Good guy, I haven't messed with you yet, you guys will mess with me first!" Damn, am I really a bully? Provoke Lao Tzu and blow you all up to the sky. ”
Yi Chengqing looked puzzled and asked curiously, "What exploded into the sky?" ”
Zong Xiu realized that he had said the wrong thing, although he remembered the proportion of earth explosives, but now he must not make that thing casually.
Seeing Yi staring at himself suspiciously, Zong Xiu shook his head and changed the topic: "Girl, it's not early, you go wash up." ”
"I will accompany Childe, although the assassin is killed, he may go and return at any time."
Yi stubbornly stood still in place.
"Childe almost died just now, all because of me, before ensuring Childe's safety, the slave didn't dare to sleep."
“……”
Yes, the slave and the maid are on again.
Zong Xiu had a fire in his heart, and said unhappily: "The assassination has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself." Also, don't open your mouth and be a slave, shut your mouth and be a slave, it's annoying to listen. If you don't want to sleep, talk to me. ”
Yi nodded hurriedly and replied, "What does Childe want to talk about?" ”
Zong Xiu stared at Yi Chengqing up and down.
Although she was wearing a red dress and did not look bloody, the pungent smell of blood could not hide it, it was the blood she had stained when she killed the assassin.
Is it normal for a singer of Qinglou to be outnumbered and come back intact?
Yi was embarrassed by Zong Xiu, his cheeks were crimson, he shrugged his little head, played with the hilt of the sword, and said with a twisted and pinched voice: "What is the son looking at?" ”
Zong Xiu laughed: "It's nothing, look at you so powerful, go out and kill three people for a while, and the other party is still holding a bow and crossbow." This boy is in a good mood, let's talk about your martial arts. ”
