Chapter 158: Desperate Arrow
This is in Nanchuan City, which is guarded by Meng Fu, the daughter of the Mongolian family, who would come late at night - so mysteriously and secretly, he does not declare his identity, but still knocks on the door directly so openly?
Luo Liyao frowned and wanted to get up, but was held down by Ye Luoqing.
She looked at Ye Luoqing, Ye Luoqing shook his head slightly, stretched out his index finger, and made a silent gesture towards her.
Luo Liyao understood, wrapped the fur on her body tightly, and tried her best to reduce her breathing sound, reducing her sense of existence.
"Your Highness has already slept, so let's come back tomorrow if there's something-"
After Ye Luoqing shouted loudly again, his body silently gradually approached the door, squinting his eyes, as if he was thinking about guessing the identity of the person by the door.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"
The man was unmoved, still knocking on the door without answering.
Ye Luoqing frowned, made a "careful" mouth gesture to Luo Liyao, and slowly stretched out his hand towards the door latch.
Luo Liyao quietly took out the dagger that she had been carrying with her, the cold touch of the jade was as cold as the cold wind in the night, and she was so awake that she kept imagining everything that might happen next.
Ye Luoqing's hand had already touched the latch of the door, and she could already sense the strength of the person knocking on the door from the vibration of the door.
The regular knocking on the door continued.
Luo Liyao clenched the dagger, looked at Ye Luoqing with some inquiring eyes, and nodded.
"Boom!!"
Ye Luoqing did not hesitate, and picked up the latch of the door with great speed, and pushed the door out, making a muffled sound - they didn't know whether the person who knocked on the door was good or bad, and what the intention was, so Ye Luoqing directly pushed the door out, trying to knock the person out a few steps directly.
For a moment, the door opened wide.
The knocking on the door stopped abruptly.
It was an ugly hour, the night was boundless in the distance, and the candlelight on the castle tower was clearly visible in the distance—but there was no one in sight.
At this time, Ye Luoqing and Luo Liyao had only one question in their hearts: Where did the person who just knocked on the door go?
Listening to the voice just now, Ye Luoqing obviously knocked him out, and they should be able to see the shadow of the man sitting on the ground—but no, nothing.
Luo Liyao slowly stood up, moved her limbs, which were a little frozen from sitting for a long time, and wanted to walk towards the door where Ye Luoqing was.
However, as soon as she took a step, she was instantly knocked to the ground by Ye Luoqing's hard pounce back.
Luo Liyao's body pressed against Ye Luoqing's warm body, and her back hit the hard and cold ground, and the pain instantly relieved the stiffness caused by the cold.
Luo Liyao subconsciously exclaimed in surprise: "Ahhh ”
Ye Luoqing didn't speak, but reacted very quickly and covered her mouth to prevent her from making a sound, grabbed her waist with one hand, and directly took her up from the ground and pushed her to the corner.
At the same time, a feather arrow broke through the wind, shot straight through the window, and drove into the place where Luo Liyao had just fallen.
Luo Liyao's eyes widened, she didn't care about the fact that they hadn't closed the door yet, and the whole person instantly sank into the palpitations of the rest of her life after the catastrophe.
If it weren't for Ye Luoqing's quick reaction just now, the bodies of the two of them would have been directly pierced by that feather arrow—she would have died on the spot.
Luo Liyao looked at the feather arrows that had all sunk into the ground, and there was no joy of escaping death.
"It's too late to explain Your Highness, hide!" Ye Luoqing whispered, and easily knocked down the shelf with the white porcelain bottle on the side, and the sound of the porcelain bottle breaking instantly pierced the silent night sky.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Luoqing kicked the brazier to the sky, and suddenly the firelight disappeared, and the room was pitch black - but the feather arrow flying outside the window was not affected in the slightest, shattering the palm-sized white porcelain shard on the ground and nailing it straight into the ground.
Ye Luoqing's face became even more solemn.
Luo Liyao bit her lower lip, tried her best to lighten her breathing, silently approached the corner of the wall, and reached out to hold the tassel that was hanging down from her head, and quickly took it off.
The person who shot the arrow couldn't see their location, but he could judge by the sound - whether it was Luo Liyao's cry of pain just now, or the sound of the white porcelain bottle shattering after the brazier was extinguished, it was a direct confirmation of this.
Luo Liyao didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so she also took off the step shake that might make a "clanging" sound when her head collided.
Ye Luoqing pressed her whole body against the wall, right next to the shelf that she had just pushed down, and observed the two feather arrows that were nailed into the ground by the little moonlight that seeped in from outside the door.
The body of the arrow is straight and translucent, the feathers of the arrow are extremely bright red, and the white porcelain fragments that have been touched by the arrow are lightly filled with a few points of smoke.
"Poison on the arrow."
Ye Luoqing once again mouthed towards Luo Liyao.
Luo Liyao nodded lightly, indicating that she understood what she meant, and asked her what to do with her eyes.
Before Ye Luoqing could respond, there was another knock on the door that was wide open, but it was much weaker than before.
Luo Liyao was instantly terrified - there was an archer outside the window who could hear the position, and the person by the door just now was only briefly knocked by Ye Luoqing's push on the door, and after running away, he came back again.
And where she was, not far from the door.
Ye Luoqing must be on guard against the poisoned arrows shot by the archers outside the window, if she comes to save her
There is a high chance that the poison will be picked up on the arrows...... If by then, Ye Luoqing has no combat effectiveness, and both of them will be in a catastrophe!
Therefore, the best way is for Luo Liyao to deal with this person at the door by herself.
Luo Liyao carefully unsheathed the dagger in her hand silently and hid it under her sleeve to prevent its flickering cold light from being exposed.
Ye Luoqing glanced at the closed window that had been shot out of two holes, and slowly leaned towards the door, trying his best to control himself from making a sound.
If you want to escape the archer's attack, and inform the others as soon as possible...... Obviously, it's better to start by the door.
No matter who the person by the door was, he could be knocked out because of Ye Luoqing's push on the door, no matter how he thought about it, the archer outside the window who could hear and distinguish the position was much more terrifying.
Luo Liyao and Ye Luoqing thought of this, so they silently leaned towards the door.
Almost to the door frame, Luo Liyao stared at the ground tightly - it was a figure that looked a little tall, looking at the location, this person was behind the door closest to him!
"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"
The door that had been slammed was nothing more than wooden, and it trembled under the man's constant knocking.
Trembling together, there was also the heartbeat that Luo Liyao had already mentioned in her throat.
Luo Liyao wrapped the tassel around her left wrist a few times, turned her sharp head outward, and clenched the dagger under the sleeve of her right hand, ready to repeat her old trick, pushing the door violently like Ye Luoqing had just done, knocking the man to the ground.
But just as she stretched out her hand, the sound of feather arrows breaking through the wind hit again!
Ye Luoqing immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately rushed to the door, pulling Luo Liyao away from the door frame.
"Poof!" It is the sound of a sharp weapon entering the human body.
"Hmm!" It was the muffled snort of the man's injury, it seemed that the pain came suddenly and violently, and he only had time to subconsciously squeeze such a sound out of his nasal cavity.
"Click!" It was the sound of the feather arrow being driven into the wooden door, and the wood was overwhelmed and slightly cracked.
This time, the feather arrow did not shoot into the house, and it was not aimed at either Luo Liyao or Ye Luoqing, but an arrow hit the person behind the door!
What's going on?
Luo Liyao suddenly stood still, turned her head to look at Ye Luoqing, but saw the same surprise in her eyes as herself-
They all seem to be wrong.
From the beginning, they thought that the outsiders were in league with the archers outside the window, one knocked on the door to get their attention, and the other waited for an opportunity to judge their location and shoot arrows to hunt.
However, the third arrow shot by the archer hit the man who had just knocked on the door...... Listen to the sound, like
I still nailed him to the door.
If they could, the archers would not hesitate to take their lives, there is no doubt about it. But what about the knockers? The whole time, he just knocked on the door, and then came back and knocked on the door after being knocked out, and he didn't make a sound at all.
What was that man for?
Ye Luoqing didn't know, and Luo Liyao hadn't figured it out either—they didn't dare to rush to check on that person's situation, because they didn't know when the archer's fourth arrow was coming.
Now, they could only hope that others would find out about the anomaly sooner.
"Your Highness! Predecessor! Fortunately, it didn't take long for Tang Haoqi's voice to come from not far outside the door, followed by some chaotic footsteps, "Ahhh Your Highness! Predecessor! Are you alright? ”
Immediately afterwards, there was the voice of Tianji: "Master! If you're not dead, just say it! ”
Ye Luoqing instantly relaxed, knowing that everyone had discovered something strange and came to support, so he replied to them: "We're fine." ”
Then, Ye Luoqing helped Luo Liyao, who was still a little weak-legged, and walked out slowly-it was indeed Tang Haoqi and Tianji outside the door, followed by a group of defenders, and Meng Bi was checking the person's situation by the door.
"Your Highness." Seeing her come out, Meng Wei saluted, "Are you okay?" ”
Luo Liyao shook her head slightly, looked at the scene behind the door, and couldn't help but feel shocked all over her body - a feather arrow pierced the man's chest straight from behind, nailing him straight to the door, and the blood slowly flowed down with the lines on the door, and it had gathered into a big pool under him.
"Look at this man's dress...... It is a majestic silver horse. Luo Liyao couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach, and looked at the person's outfit with some surprise - silver armor and black robe, with a gold and jade crown, it was obviously the costume of Weiyan's army exclusive to the royal family.
Meng Bi nodded and frowned, "Yes, the minister has already sent someone to strengthen the guards on the city tower." ”
"He ......"
"Princess...... Is it a princess? ”
Luo Liyao was about to open her mouth to ask if this person was still saved, but she saw that the person was slowly struggling, his helmet slammed against the door and made a muffled sound, and he kept calling "princess" in his mouth.
Although the voice was faint, it was clearly heard by everyone in the silent night.
Luo Liyao slowly approached the person with the help of Ye Luoqing's strength, and the pungent bloody aura made her unconsciously hold her breath, but she was still approaching - she had an intuition that this person's appearance here could never be accidental, and what he said was likely to be an opportunity for her to touch the truth!
Under the "princess...... helmet, the man's eyes were closed, as if his speech at this time was just his instinct, "Be careful...... Princess...... Be careful with the ......"
