Chapter 1003: The Dead
The man in black was killed and retreated, but the guards around Li Xiu also suffered heavy casualties, when he was chased and killed just now, the guards around him fell a lot, and when he fled to the square, there were only dozens of guards left to protect each other, but now there are only a dozen who can stand, and the rest are either lying on the ground with blood all over their bodies, or they are seriously injured and let out a weak moan.
Seeing the tragic situation of these guards, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a secret hatred in his heart, these guards were all old people who had followed him for many years, but he didn't expect to end up like this, which also made him even more resentful of these black-clothed people, and immediately stepped forward to come to those black-clothed people who were arrested.
I saw that these people were not only dressed in black, but also covered their faces with black scarves, and they knew that they were afraid that people would recognize their appearances without asking, which made Li Xiu snort coldly: "Hidden head and tail, today I want to see who you are?" ”
However, when Li Xiu reached out to tear off the black scarf on the face of the man in black, he suddenly found that something was wrong, because after these men in black were arrested, they sat on the ground one by one, without struggling or making a sound, like a dead man, which made him can't help but scream "not good" in his heart, and tear off the black scarf on the other party's face with his hand, only to find that the man in black had a blue face, disgusting white foam flowing from the corners of his mouth, and he had died of poison.
"Oh no, get their jaws off!" Seeing this situation, Xiang Shanzhi next to him also shouted and ordered at the moment, he was born as a bandit before, and he was very clear about this method of going down the three ways.
Although Xiang Shanzhi's reaction was fast, it was still too late, and when Li Xiu tore off the face toils of all the people in black, he found that these people in black were either out of breath, or they only had one breath left, and it was impossible to save them.
Seeing this, Xiang Shanzhi also roared angrily, and then used a knife to pry open the mouth of a man in black, and picked out a thin casing from it, and then said helplessly: "This is a poison made of sheep intestines, which can be hidden in the mouth in advance, and the casing will be bitten when you use it, it is filled with strong poison, there is no cure at all, generally only the dead will use this kind of thing!" ”
"They really think of me when they used the dead!" Li Xiu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, those families really valued themselves, and even let him enjoy the same treatment as Li Shimin, the last time Li Shimin was assassinated, he encountered this kind of dead soldier, and he couldn't even find evidence in advance.
However, when he said this, Li Xiu suddenly thought that he had fled all the way before, and there were also many people in black who were cut down on the road, and there may have been people who were injured but not dead, which made him also mentally shocked: "Brother Xiang, you send someone to look for us along the way we escaped, there may be people in black who are alive, I need the confessions of these people, as long as they are alive, I have a way to pry their mouths open!" ”
Li Xiu remembered the countless tortures in history, especially in later generations, there were many torture methods against spies, even an iron man couldn't stand it, of course, if it wasn't for this kind of thing, he wouldn't be willing to use these methods, but since those families have torn their faces, then don't blame him for being polite.
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Xiang Shanzhi immediately agreed, and then personally led people to find a living mouth, among which two guards with relatively minor injuries also followed him, until this time, Li Xiu relaxed, and then felt a tingling pain in the wound on his arm, but fortunately, the arrow was not poisonous, and the blood that flowed out was also normal.
However, although the wound on Li Xiu's arm was long, it was not deep, he found the wound medicine and bandaged it, and then began to help treat the wounded, after all, he still has some research in first aid, especially some guards are very seriously injured, if they are not treated in time, they are likely to lose their lives.
Just when Li Xiu was bandaging the wounded, he suddenly heard a noise in the southeast, and then a cavalry rushed from the darkness, at first Li Xiu was startled, thinking that there was another man in black to kill, but when this cavalry came closer, Li Xiu found that the person led by her was actually Princess Pingyang, and the cavalry behind her was the guard of the house.
"Lady, why are you here?" Li Xiu saw Princess Pingyang arrive with the guards in the mansion, and couldn't help but ask with wide eyes and surprise, after all, he had just escaped from danger, and he didn't have time to report to the mansion, so Princess Pingyang shouldn't know about his distress, right?
"Husband, you're hurt!" However, Princess Pingyang noticed the wound on Li Xiu's arm for the first time at this time, and immediately flew off the horse and asked with concern, and at the same time, she also noticed the injured guards, and asked with annoyance, "What the hell is going on, could it be that someone attacked you, husband?" ”
"My injuries are fine, just a little bruising, but how do you know I'm here?" Li Xiu asked again at this time.
"I have been restless since the husband left, I always feel that something is going to happen, when I used to fight, I will also have such a feeling when I encounter danger, although it is mysterious and mysterious, but it has saved my life several times, tonight this dangerous feeling is coming again, I am worried that the husband is in danger, so I brought the guards in the house to chase over, and I saw the lights here in Wuzhizhuang on the road, so I came to check, and the husband was really here." Princess Pingyang explained.
"I see." Li Xiu couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard this, this should be the intuition of the legendary woman, right?
"Husband, you haven't told me who attacked you?" At this moment, I saw Princess Pingyang ask again.
"Although there is no evidence for this, it should be inseparable from the family...... Li Xiu naturally had nothing to hide from Princess Pingyang, and immediately told the cause of the incident.
In addition, there was a fire in the printing office tonight, and he was ambushed halfway, which was obviously calculated by the family a long time ago, and even Li Shimin and Li Xiu's reactions were calculated, I have to say that it was very clever, and Li Xiu really fell into the plan, if he hadn't listened to Princess Pingyang and brought some more guards, I'm afraid he would have been lying in wait now.
Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a chill, this time the danger was even more dangerous than the last time he was held hostage by Wang Junkuo, after all, Wang Junkuo's main purpose at that time was to escape for his life, killing him was just to kill him, and the main purpose of the family this time was to kill him.
"What a group of daring families!" After listening to Li Xiu's words, Princess Pingyang's delicate face showed an incomparably murderous aura, and after speaking, she turned her head and came to her horse, and then flew on the horse again.
"Lady, what are you going to do?" Seeing the appearance of Princess Pingyang, Li Xiu couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly asked.
