35, block the arrow

In the Cheng'en Mansion, Xiao Zheng was half-lying on a chair, lazily basking in the sun.

Holding a book in his hand, he seemed to be working hard, and when he looked closely, there was a letter of paper in the middle of the book.

He flipped a page and looked at a page of paperwork, "You said she was the Megatron Jinwuwei school field yesterday?" I also asked the commander of the horse for something? ”

"Yes." The blazing face behind him replied flatly.

Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows, "It's a pity." ”

"What a pity?" Bai Zhuo asked.

Xiao Zheng put down the book in his hand, looked at the tea cup on the small table on the side, took it over, and said,

"It's not a pity that I didn't see the little prince of Zhenbei show his might."

Bai Zhuo looked incredulous, and pierced him mercilessly, "Shizi, my subordinates think it's a pity that you didn't see the excitement of the little prince." ”

Xiao Zheng glanced at him, grabbed the peanut on the side and threw it over, "What nonsense is telling the truth." ”

Bai Zhuo caught the peanut precisely and threw it into his mouth.

Xiao Zheng was not annoyed, stood up, dusted off his robe, and stretched his hands again, "The sky is so good, it's not bad to go for a walk outside the city." ”

Bai Zhuo stood aside and rolled his eyes, he really wanted to come out of it, just now he asked them to move chairs, and the little red clay stove came out, but now it has changed again.

The master's orders could not be disobeyed, and he went down to prepare with white burning.

Not long after, Xiao Zheng went out of the city with a few guards, and told the eldest princess of Shuyang that he was going to hunt outside the city.

The eldest princess of Shuyang has always doted on Xiao Zheng, and he will agree to whatever he wants to do, as long as he doesn't let himself get hurt.

I heard that he went hunting, but he just asked him to bring enough men.

It was Xiao Zheng who said that he was going to give her a white fox skin and coax the eldest princess of Shuyang to be happy.

Xu Han went from being on duty every three days to being on duty every day, but he was able to go home at night, Xu Mian said in the morning that he had caught the person who not only pawned Xu Xuan's short sword, but also the person who lost the jade pendant to Yu Dongping.

Although she was anxious and wanted to know what was going on, she had to be on duty during the day, so she patiently went to Jin Wuwei, and the people sent from above were familiar with Jin Wuwei's various processes, as well as various regulations.

The day passed quickly, and after the ya, Xu Han took Xu Mian and Wei Ting straight to Wusan'an.

The master in the Wusan'an was waiting at the door early, Xu Han took Xu Mian in, and Wei Ting stayed outside.

Wei Ting had no objection to such a distribution, he only came to Xu Han's side the next day, and it was too normal not to be trusted.

He leaned against the gate of the nunnery with his bow and arrows on his back, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Inside, Xu Mian took Xu Han to meet the gambler.

Xu Han's punishment was useless, so the gambler recruited everything.

He is a good gambler, and if he has money, he will lose all his money, and that day he was also lucky, lost all his money, and borrowed fifty taels from the gambling house.

If the money in the gambling house is not returned in time, it will be pressed on his back like a mountain, so that he will not be able to breathe.

He has a small courtyard in the East Market, which he rents to his sister and brother to live in, and in order to repay the money of the gambling house, he thinks about selling the small courtyard.

But that small courtyard is his last asset, and if it is really sold, he will not even have a place to live.

Just when he was at a loss, someone found him and asked him to go to Baode Hall to help pawn the things, and the matter ended up giving him a large sum of silver.

But a trip to the pawn shop can have a large sum of silver, why not the gambler, so he went to the pawn shop, according to the man's request, as long as the ticket is used, not silver.

In fact, the pawn ticket for the dagger is still in the hands of the gambler, who had come to him after the pawn, but now months have passed, and he has not come back to him.

As for the jade pendant, the gambler thought for a long time before he thought that he had come over to someone else at that time, and he didn't know which one was wronged.

However, he remembered that he was a very beautiful man, with a mole in the corner of his eye, and the man seemed to be a little lost at that time, so when he walked away, he did not see the man react.

But he still put the jade pendant in his hand for a while before daring to take it out and use it, just in case.

It was also lost that day, so he would give the jade pendant to Yu Dongping as collateral.

A man with a beautiful appearance and a mole in the corner of his eye, the first thing that came to Xu Han's mind was Xiao Zheng's face.

"When did you get from a passerby?" Xu Han asked.

The man thought for a moment, "It must have been three or four years ago, and it was in the winter." ”

Something flashed in Xu Han's mind, and he couldn't grasp it quickly.

She sneered, "I didn't expect you to cover it for a long time." ”

Three or four years is such a long time, where do they go to find people?

Xu Han asked someone to bring a pen and paper over, and asked the gambler to recall the face of the passer-by at that time.

But too much time has passed, and the gambler can't remember it, so he can only think about it roughly, and then let Xu Han draw it.

The eyebrows of the people above

Xu Han folded the portrait and put it in his arms, "You can describe the person who asked you to go to the pawn shop at that time, and try to think about what characteristics he has." ”

The gambler nodded again and again, and spoke of the face of the man who had come to him to pawn.

In the end, Xu Han stopped his pen and looked at the paper, it was just an ordinary person's face, no matter how ordinary it was, the kind that could not be found in the crowd.

Originally, she thought that she could ask a lot of useful information about this gambler, but what she got today was only a corner of the matter, and there were still a lot of inside information waiting for her to investigate.

It was almost dark outside, and Xu Mian reminded Xu Han on the side that it was time to go back, otherwise the princess would have to ask.

In desperation, Xu Han asked the master of Wusanan to be optimistic about the gambler, and he couldn't let him escape, nor could he let others know that the gambler was in Wusanan.

The master of Wusan'an had the help of Xu Xuan in the past, and knew that Xu Han was Xu Xuan's younger brother, so he gave her a lot of convenience.

On the carriage back to the city, Xu Mian saw that Xu Han was a little sullen, and looked at her carefully, "Lord Wang, today is not a day job, at least I know the portrait of the person who pawned the dashizi's short sword." ”

Xu Han nodded, she was unhappy that she didn't understand how the matter of Yu Pei was connected with Xiao Zheng, and it was a few years ago.

If you count it, it should be the time when she took the wind cold medicine and entered the Yellow Spring.

But how did Mi'er's jade pendant get to him?

Where is Mi'er now? Still alive?

Xu Han's heart was like a knife, but he couldn't say anything, and he didn't know who to talk to.

Seeing Xu Mian's cautious face, Xu Han eased his mood, his heart softened, and said,

"Yes, the death of the eldest brother, the Bai clan and the Shao clan are responsible, but the person who pawned the short sword, whether he is behind the scenes or not, as long as he is found, he should be able to know who is responsible for the rest."

While the two were talking, the carriage turned a corner and stopped suddenly.

Xu Mian stepped forward and asked, "Wei Ting, what's wrong?" ”

Wei Ting and the coachman sat on the wheels outside.

"Lord, a tree has fallen in the middle of the road."

The coachman reported that the mouth of the tree was two feet thick and long, and the branches were luxuriant, just enough to block the carriage in the middle of the road.

It's strange to say, when I first came to Musan-an, there was no such big tree on the road, why did I come back and stop on the road like this?

He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Lord Wang, I untied the horse's harness, tied the tree and told the horse to pull the tree apart." ”

The coachman was about to get out of the carriage, when Wei Ting, who was sitting on the side, suddenly grabbed him, glanced around, and said in a deep voice,

"Hurry up and turn around, hurry, get out!"

Speaking of the word withdrawal, the coachman also became alert, and immediately raised his horsewhip, the carriage turned around, and at the same time a hook was thrown out of the bushes and pierced into the coachman's chest, and suddenly blood was like a little plum blossom, splashing on Wei Ting's body and the cotton curtain on the door.

"Lord Wang, there is an enemy attack!"

The coachman's loud warning before he died, with his flesh and blood, tried to turn the front of the car over, and a masked man with a sword came out from the other side, trying to stab at the coachman, but was blocked by Wei Ting.

Wei Ting whipped the horsewhip from the coachman's hand, whipped the man in the face fiercely, and then said loudly,

"Lord Wang, there is danger!"

Xu Han's hairs all over her body stood up, and she pulled Xu Mian into the corner and motioned for him to hide.

Xu Mian refused, "Lord Wang, no matter how small you can do some fist and foot kung fu, you can also defeat a few enemies." ”

Xu Han's eyes kept staring out of the car through the curtain, and when she saw Wei Ting throw the whip out, she took out the long sword placed in the dark compartment and kicked the car door.

The masked man broke the whip that Wei Ting threw over, and after Xu Han's vigorous figure passed out, before he could see it clearly, another vigorous figure appeared in the car.

Without waiting for the masked man to see clearly, she snatched the sword from the masked man's hand with one move, and slashed the masked man's neck with a backhand slash.

She jumped out of the carriage and said to Xu Mian without looking back, "Ah Mian, you pull Uncle Fu outside in and take him to avoid inside." ”

Wei Ting was dealing with another masked man, and Xu Han broke the thin iron chain on the coachman Uncle Fu with his backhand.

Injured in the abdomen, Uncle Fu's breathing was heavy like a broken bellows, but Xu Han was surprisingly calm, she took Uncle Fu's collar, sent him to the door of the car, and let Xu Mian pull him in.

Inside, Xu Mian dragged Uncle Fu into the carriage without a door, looked at the situation outside, gritted his teeth, first felt the gold sore medicine under the stool and sprinkled it on Uncle Fu's wound, then settled him, and jumped out of the carriage with a sword.

Outside, a few more masked people jumped out, at this moment the sky has darkened, those vicious hooks are constantly thrown out, Xu Han pursed his lips tightly, and seriously dodged those hooks.

She hooked the horse harness with one foot and leaned sideways, the long sword in her hand pulled a sword flower, around the iron hook, and the sword snatched from the other hand slashed, only to dodge this killing move.

Over there, Wei Ting dealt with a masked man and took a breath, "Little Lord, where did you provoke these outlaws?" Looks like we have to fight today. ”

This road is not an official road, but a small road to Musan-an, and no one else will pass by, so you won't find that there is a fight here, let alone be a helper or report to the official.

Even if Xu Mian has already sent a distress signal, it will take a long time for the reinforcements from the palace to arrive here, and they can only collect their bodies at that time.

The sky was dark, although there were three of them, but there were more people on the other side, and they didn't know how many killers there were in the shadows, how many killing moves, as soon as those vicious iron hooks were thrown out, the person was a skin, even flesh and bones, and the pain of death was terrible.

She didn't need to look at Uncle Fu in the carriage to be sure that Uncle Fu must be dead at this moment.

Xu Han's gaze was very calm, carefully watching the slight movement in the bushes, and saw at least three or four people.

She was sure once again that there were hidden spies in ambush in the palace, and that only a few people knew that she was coming to Wushu Nunnery today.

These killers have actually been ambushed here for a long time, just waiting for the best time to strike.

She didn't speak, just glanced at Wei Ting, and Xu Mian, maybe the three of them will be dead here today, but it's a pity that she has just made a grand wish, even if she messes up the world, she will avenge the Huo family.

She smiled bitterly and said to Xu Mian and Wei Ting, "You two go, what they want to deal with is me, especially Wei Ting, you are implicated by me." ”

Wei Ting's muscles tightened, the sword in his hand propped up on the wheel, and snorted coldly,

"Want to leave now? It's late, even if you let me go, I believe that the mice on the other side will not agree. ”

His tongue was as vicious and cruel as his own, and as soon as he spoke, an iron hook was thrown at him in the shadows.

Xu Han took this opportunity to suddenly push the horse next to her, and the horse seemed to know what she was going to do, and the hooves lifted lightly, and slowly turned back.

As soon as the horse moved, two masked men sprang out from behind the bushes, burly and tall, but their steps were as light as apes, and they did not use iron hooks, but swung their swords at Xu Han to slash at him.

Xu Mian stepped forward and blocked one person's attack first, and Xu Han's long sword was against the long sword of another masked man.

For a while, everything was quiet, only the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, and only the sound of the sword clashing.

In this life, although Xu Han has learned martial arts, she is not exquisite, and when she is so fatal, she can't use it at all, she uses the swordsmanship of the Huo family to kill the enemy in the past, and there is no extra flowery, just to kill.

Soon she solved a masked man, and went to give the masked man Xu Mian who was barely coping with next, so that Xu Mian could take a breath.

However, the enemy did not let her go, and two more masked men came out from behind the bushes.

The kung fu of these masked people is not weak, if they rush up, Xu Han and they will have a hard time coping with it.

But those people were like cats and mice, going out in batches, not giving them time to breathe.

It wasn't until the three of them worked together to kill a dozen masked men that the other side stopped slightly.

But Xu Han and they didn't slack off, it wasn't that the enemy had been killed, but that they were also calm, maybe brewing bigger killing moves.

Wei Ting's bow and arrow would be useless, he held the blood-dripping long sword, and gasped a little, "I'm really wronged, I was aggrieved enough that I didn't die on the battlefield with Huo Jiajun, but I didn't expect to die in the hands of these Xiaoxiao today." ”

Xu Han's eyes gathered behind the bushes, and he said casually, "You were from the Huo family army back then?" Under whose battalion. ”

Wei Ting's eyes dimmed, with some sadness on his body, as if he was missing, "Huo Sanshao's subordinates...... He ......"

He didn't say any more, he wanted to stay in Huo's army at the beginning, but Commander Ma and General Huo wanted him to leave, even Huo Sanshao couldn't keep him.

Huo Sanshao, that is the third brother, no wonder Wei Ting's archery skills are so good, even her archery skills are also taught by the third brother.

She was just about to speak, when suddenly a flying knife flew from the diagonal direction, and the target of that flying knife was not Xu Han.

It pulled sideways and cut off one side of the horse's harness, and the originally clever horse, perhaps stimulated by the sword light, neighed and galloped backwards.

Xu Han, who was originally standing on the side of the carriage, was brought to the ground by the horse's actions, and seeing that the wheel was about to be pressed over, Xu Han turned over, grabbed the rungs under the wheel, and followed the carriage forward.

Wei Ting and Xu Mian chased after them, and they wanted to pull the carriage, but it was too late, so they could only watch the carriage move forward at a high speed.

The horses ran faster and faster, and one side of the carriage without the control of the horse harness rushed forward by inertia, but this road was just a mountain road not one zhang wide, and there were many curves.

The carriage was very fast, and not long after it came out, she let go of her hand and got out from under it, and before she could stand firmly, the carriage had already crashed against the mountain wall with a loud sound.

Two masked people jumped down from the mountain, it seemed that they were a group of those people just now, they saw Xu Mian and rushed towards her, Xu Han faced him, the three of them were entangled together, Xu Han did not retreat.

This time, they didn't use the wheel to fight, and two masked people jumped down the mountain, and the four of them attacked Xu Han together, with a murderous move, to kill Xu Han.

Xu Mian and Wei Ting hadn't caught up yet, one against four, and they were four people who were not weak in kung fu, and Xu Han began to struggle a little.

There was a whistle on the mountain, and two masked people continued, one against six, Xu Han gritted his teeth tightly, these people wanted her to die, but she didn't die.

Xu Mian and Wei Ting will definitely catch up, as long as they wait for the two of them to come, her danger will be lifted.

Her right arm was covered in blood, and she had just been accidentally slashed, but the other party also had an arm cut off by her.

However, she was also forced to the other side of the mountain road by the other party, and there is a mountain stream at the bottom of the mountain, and if she accidentally falls, she will be crushed.

At the end of the road where the carriage overturned, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and Xu Han didn't know whether it was friend or foe.

Her speed has slowed down, and if it were an enemy, she really wouldn't have the slightest chance of surviving today.

Luckily, the person who came was familiar.

"Shizi, there seems to be a sound of a fight ahead, my subordinates go over and take a look." It was a somewhat familiar male voice, and Xu Han no longer had the extra energy to tell who it was.

I only heard another lazy voice sound, "Don't look at it, there is a mark on the carriage, it is the carriage of the Zhenbei Palace." ”

In the end, the lazy voice became cold, and then several figures rushed quickly.

Then the pressure on Xu Han's side was much lighter, and everyone was taken over by a few figures.

"Little prince, why did you become so embarrassed?" Xiao Zheng watched everyone fight with his hands on the side.

Xu Han didn't say a word, just cared about fighting with the two masked men in front of him.

After Xiao Zheng came over, her moves quietly changed, from the Huo family's swordsmanship to the swordsmanship that Xu Han had learned before.

Of course, these could not withstand the masked man's attack, and she was once again forced to the edge of the cliff.

Xiao Zheng's face changed slightly, and he leaned over and stopped the two people.

"Xiao Shizi, this is none of your business, we don't want to be an enemy of the Xiao family, and ask Shizi to step aside." One of the masked men had a low voice, like the voice of a duck male, and advised Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng chuckled, "It looks like it should be an acquaintance, since you don't want to be an enemy of the Xiao family, then please leave consciously." ”

The masked man kept his hands on his hand, "The order we received is not this, so, forgive me, if the prince does not leave and hurts you, don't blame us." ”

Xiao Zheng seemed to sigh slightly, his face sank, the momentum on his body completely changed, and his whole body was gloomy, which made people feel frightened.

"Since you don't want to retreat, let's come and see who is better."

The two men in black who were besieging each other paused, glanced at each other, stepped back a distance, and one of them put his hand to his mouth and whistled.

At the same time, two arrows were shot down from the mountain, heading straight at Xu Han, the arrows came quickly, Xiao Zheng only had time to block one, and the other, he directly blocked it with his body.

Xu Han was stunned by this change!

She couldn't have imagined that Xiao Zheng would block the arrow with his body, obviously they were only a few sides apart, and the two were not happy.

Last time, she almost injured his body, so that his wife's lower body happiness was gone.

How could this not surprise her!

She hugged Xiao Zheng, who was about to fall, and the masked men were determined to kill her, and seeing that neither arrow hurt her, they shot down several more arrows.

Xiao Zheng's bodyguard Bai Zhuo saw Xiao Zheng hit an arrow, and immediately said loudly, "Protect the prince ......"

He and the other guards rushed at Xiao Zheng, blocking the arrows and blocking the way of the men's attack on the two of them.

Xu Han hugged Xiao Zheng, both of them had blood on their bodies, Xu Han's blood was his own and someone else's, and Xiao Zheng's body was his own blood after being shot.

The bodies of the two were close together, the blood on their bodies was stained with each other, Xiao Zheng's originally red face, as if splashed with water, became pale, and the color of his lips slowly became transparent.

Xu Han bit his lip tightly, trembled, took out the wound medicine from his arms with trembling hands, and sprinkled it on Xiao Zheng's wound with shaking hands.

"Do you hurt? Bear with me, I'll help you pull out the arrow, okay? ”

She was very afraid, afraid that Xiao Zheng would bleed too much, and afraid that Xiao Zheng would never get up if he fell down, just like those fathers and brothers in her dreams.

Xiao Zheng's thick eyebrows were like ink, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he asked coldly, "You came here, who knows?" ”

Xu Han didn't answer, "You don't have to worry about this." ”

She couldn't be sure who it was now, and she even wondered if her father, King Zhenbei, was going to put her to death.

Yesterday, she told the king of Zhenbei what she found, and early this morning, Xu Mian found someone and sent it to Wusang.

Then came the interception.

Even if what the gambler said was true, if there was no Xiao Zheng, then she would be dead today, even if she knew?

She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and stopped talking.

She took advantage of the faint light to carefully look at the wounds on Xiao Zheng's body, the wound medicine was useless, and the bleeding couldn't be stopped at all.

She gritted her teeth, turned sideways, lifted the corner of her robe, tore off a large piece of cloth, spread it on the ground, and pulled the hairpin tied to the top of her head, and her waist-length hair flew down like a waterfall.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Zheng asked.

Xu Han picked up the long sword on the side and put it on his long black hair, and said while cutting,

"There is no way to stop the bleeding from your wound, the ashes of the fever have the effect of stopping the bleeding, there is not so much wound medicine on the battlefield, and the hair of the dead will be robbed, just because the gray hair may save people's lives."

In Xiao Zheng's stunned gaze, Xu Han cut off his hair and put it on the cloth.

"You bear with it, I'll help you pull out the arrow, and then use the wound medicine and hair ash to help you stop the bleeding, so that you can last until you go back to the city to find a doctor......"
