Chapter Thirty-Eight: Desperate Killing
"Remember what I told you last night, if you can survive today, then the imperial city will already be under your feet."
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Zhan Xiao waved his sword to block the oncoming arrows, turned his head and said to me, "Little girl, don't let down your bold words last night!" โ
Girl? Such an intimate title, it seems that yesterday's drink was really worth it!
I was slightly stunned and proud in the carriage, but it seemed that an arrow had been shot outside the carriage, and not a single arrow had come in.
When I came back to my senses, I slapped my head violently, I was a pig's head, I actually forgot about the assassination!
Quickly pulled out the arrow nailed to the carriage, held it in his hand, and quietly lifted a little curtain to look out.
The battle situation outside was a bit tragic, and the people who came this time seemed to be more than just a group of people, and the target was not only concentrated on Zhan Xu's side but also on Tang Zhaoyu's carriage.
It seems that there are those who rush to the treasure, and there are those who rush to fight Xu.
Tang Zhaoyu's carriage kept shooting out hidden weapons, and she was alone in the carriage, and she didn't know if she could hold it.
If she reveals too much, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhan Xu will not be suspicious of her, and if she reveals too little, she is afraid that she will not be able to withstand the attacks of these assassins.
Can't let her die!
I pulled up my dress, cut off the skirt with an arrow, so that I could get out of the car, and counted the self-defense weapons that Tang Zhaoyu had made for myself in my arms during this time, and got out of the car while I was in chaos.
The guards who fought with people along the way, when they saw me, they would cover me slightly, I still hid my martial arts and hidden weapons, stumbling, crawling, and rolling back to my carriage when the blind cat hit the dead mouse.
Tang Zhaoyu was not in the car, I was really worried!
Now it's okay, she's already hiding, and I'm running here to die.
The louder the fighting outside, the more panicked I became.
There was a little Zhan Xiao behind me just now to cover me, and there was no danger for me to run over so recklessly, but I didn't know anything outside the car at this moment, and I was in a dilemma for a while hiding in the car.
Just when I was hesitating, the curtain was lifted: "Go!" โ
It's Zhan Xu who is here.
I pretended to hesitate for a moment before handing it to him, and he pulled me down and took me to the side of the horse, and the movements were crisp and neat.
Since ancient times, heroes saving beauty have been a good story~
It's a pity that my current identity is your sister, and it is impossible to have any beautiful thoughts about you.
Looking at the battle situation again, Zhan Xiao has long since disappeared, Tang Zhaoyu is nowhere to be seen, and the guards guarding us have suffered heavy casualties, which is really bad.
The rest of the men were divided into three teams, one team broke off, one team led the enemy away, and the other team escorted us.
Zhan Xu took me all the way to ride the horse, the long sword in his hand slanted back, constantly picking off the arrows shot from a distance.
The arrows and swords clashed, and there was a loud sound.
I heard him snort in front, and a momentum from his body hit me, as if I had been hit by an arrow, and I was about to look back late when I heard his voice in my ears: "Don't look, can you ride a horse?" โ
I shook my head, "No, but I have a secret weapon." โ
I poked my head sideways from his arms and looked behind me.
There were a dozen men chasing us behind, and there were archers hiding in the shadows in the distance.
But it doesn't matter, I have enough arrows in my arms!
I tried to twist my body back, stretched out my hand to wrap my arms around Zhan Xu's neck, and leaned up: "You concentrate on riding, I'll come later." โ
On the line of life and death, without waiting for Zhan Xu's reaction, another arrow came from behind, and I hurriedly protected Zhan Xu's head and pressed down: "Hurry up"
Zhan Xu snorted again, as if he had pulled the wound.
I mounted my crossbow, aimed the arrow in the direction it was coming from, and fired a wave of swift fire.
Although my skills are not good, I am a repeater, and the rows of arrows shot past me can be regarded as completely disrupting their rhythm.
After shooting the arrow in our arms, we finally distanced ourselves from the people behind us.
Zhan Xu's head rested heavily on my shoulder, and the guards in front of him led us back to a dilapidated courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhan Xu fell off the horse, and the guards behind rushed forward to help him up, and I quickly jumped off the horse to check on his injuries.
"Why is it so badly injured?"
One of the guards replied: "This assassination, our people did not detect it, they planned carefully, and they were extremely ruthless, and they came up with a ruthless move, and the move was fatal."
I closed his clothes, let two men carry him into the house, and had the rest of the people and casualties counted.
The man who responded looked at me, and then at Zhan Xu.
Zhan Xu nodded weakly but still majestically: "If I am unconscious, you will listen to Jinse's arrangement." Violators, kill! โ
The guards who received Zhan Xu's order, after hesitating at first, knelt down firmly and responded: "Subordinates receive orders!" โ
I couldn't help but feel a sense of fox and tiger power in my heart.
Soon Zhan Xu was settled in the house.
The guards counted outside and made slight corrections, and I helped Zhan Xu check his wounds inside the broken house.
"Why are the people who came this time so powerful?"
"The closer you get to the imperial city, the more dangerous it is, and there is more than one person who doesn't want you and me to return to Beijing."
Zhan Xu had no blood on his face because he had left too much blood.
"Are you afraid?" I looked at him with a smile.
To tell the truth, looking at Zhan Xusheng carefully, he is very good-looking, not Chu Xiong's good-looking, but heroic and good-looking, he is not like the restraint and forbearance of me on weekdays, he is as powerful as a tiger on the battlefield.
He looked up at me and smiled: "You're not afraid, what am I afraid of?" โ
I knew he wasn't looking at me, he was watching Shengge.
But I am also a little proud in my heart, and I am as brave as Shengge now.
Zhan Xu's injuries were not light, a huge wound on his back, and his arms and necks were also injured, but the most dangerous thing was the arrow on his back near his shoulder, which seemed to be poisonous.
I pressed his shoulders to divert his attention: "The third brother is in such a good shape, I want to come and practice very hard..."
Zhan Xu blushed, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What nonsense are you talking about..."
I took advantage of this opportunity to pull out the arrow, and he was unguarded and hissed in pain.
"You endure it, it's poisonous."
I leaned over to suck his poison out, but he raised his hand to stop me: "Are you in danger of sucking this poison?" โ
I don't know if it's dangerous to help him take drugs, but if you don't give him drugs, he's definitely in danger.
"No, it's not particularly toxic."
Zhan Xu stared at me with a look of disbelief.
I flipped my fingers, and a silver needle in my palm pierced his neck, and he fainted.
The guards outside came in to tell the count, and when they saw me stabbing his master in the neck, they drew their sword and put it against my neck.
"Strong, keep your hands! He's fainted now, are you going to listen to me? โ
"You!"
The guard looked at me hatefully.
I plunged the silver needle into it a little more: "It's just anesthetic, if you want to save him, go out and guard." โ
The wind was blowing outside, the wind was terrible, and the killing machine in the house was even worse than just now.
"Let the people outside stay in the park and hide in ambush. The lightly wounded went one mile outside, the uninjured went five miles, and one person was ambushed in all directions. โ
He took out a few secret whistles from his arms: "If there is an abnormality, blow the whistle as a trumpet." โ
The man hesitated for a moment, took the whistle in my hand, and withdrew: "If there is something to Your Highness, I will let you be buried with you." โ
Zhan Xu's people are very loyal.
Tsk...
