A piece of blood oozed from his white clothes, and Gong Wanran coughed up a mouthful of blood, only to see that the flying arrow was pierced into Gong Huiran's right chest. It turned out that at the moment when Zhang Xun was about to be hit by an arrow, Gong Huiran suddenly blocked in front of Zhang Xun and blocked the arrow for him.

"And then...... Brother Xiao Ran ......" Zhang Xun was panicked and lost, and his mouth was full of words.

"Don't worry, it's fine...... Ahem......" responded weakly.

Seeing this, Ji Zheng was immediately furious, he picked up a short sword on the ground and threw it at Shuangdao, Shuangdao hurriedly waved his knife to block, taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Zheng suddenly jumped to the side of the previous assassin, pulled out the blazing sword from his corpse, and then stabbed at Shuangdao, Shuangdao didn't have time to react, dodged a little late, and was scratched by Ji Zheng in the abdomen.

Then the two continued to fight, but this time Ji Zheng seemed to be a different person, his move was fatal, and he forced the double knife to be unable to parry in only five rounds.

The double knife jumped to the eaves, Ji Zheng followed, the two fought on the roof for a few rounds, the double knife was scratched by Ji Zheng again and again, just when Ji Zheng grabbed a flaw and was about to kill it, the double knife suddenly sprinkled a handful of powder at Ji Zheng.

Ji Zheng's eyes were fascinated by the powder, and his eyes were in severe pain, and he accidentally fell from the roof. Ji Zheng thought that his death was coming, but the double knife took this opportunity to disappear on the eaves.

After a while, the sharp pain in Ji Zheng's eyes gradually disappeared, and he hurriedly ran to his senior brother to check the injury.

Seeing that Zhang Xun was holding Gong Hui Ran to stop the bleeding for him, Ji Zheng said angrily: "Damn, that assassin actually sprinkled powder!" This is too inferior! Alas! I'm just close to killing him! ”

Zhang Xun didn't care about inquiring about the battle situation, but was anxious to help the public deal with his wounds.

Ji Zheng squatted down and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Gonghui?" ”

"It's fine...... Ahem......"

"And said it's okay! You are not allowed to speak! Zhang Xun frowned, staring worriedly at the pale face.

Gong Wanran apologized slightly, patted Zhang Xun's hand gently, and signaled him not to worry too much.

"Hurry up and take care of the wound." Ji Zheng said that, and called the medical team to send a stretcher.

Zhang Xun and Ji Zheng carefully carried Gong Huiran onto a stretcher and hurriedly sent him to Mr. Yan's house for treatment. As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, Shuang Di ran over, and when she saw Gong Wanran's blood-stained chest, tears suddenly flowed out. She clutched the edge of the stretcher and followed it closely.

"Brother Gonghui...... Brother Gonghui ......"

Gong Wan opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at Frost, wanted to say something but couldn't speak, he was sent into the room for treatment, and Frost was guarding outside the house every inch.

Shuang Di tried her best to keep her crying voice low, maybe she was afraid that Gong Wanran would be worried, or maybe she was even more afraid that Gong Wanran would have any accidents.

Zhang Xun squatted down and comforted: "Xiaoshuang, don't cry, Brother Xiaoran will be fine, that arrow didn't hurt the vital point, as long as you pull out the arrow and cultivate for a while, you can get better." ”

Shuang Di raised her head and looked at Zhang Xun in disbelief, she was silent for a while, but then lowered her head and cried silently.

"Let Frost cry for a while, it will be better to cry, we have to go and see, there is still a lot to do outside." Ji Zheng said to Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun nodded, gently touched Shuangdi's head, and then went out with Ji Zheng. When the two came to the courtyard, they found that the village road had become a purgatory on earth, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the villagers were lying next to the corpses of their relatives and weeping bitterly, and the crying resounded in the sky.

The two stood on the side of the road, at a loss.

Ji Zheng had imagined such a scene, but what he never expected was that this mountain of blood corpses did not appear on the battlefield, but in this small village that should have been calm and peaceful. Ji Zheng couldn't help but wonder if the killing of the villagers could have originated from his bold words?

Such a scene also brought a great impact to Zhang Xun, but there are more things lingering in his mind, what will happen to Gong Wanran's injury? How should the aftermath be carried out? What to do with captured captives? Will the escape of the twin blades attract more reinforcements? Zhang Xun couldn't sort out the context, but only felt a strong sense of unease and helplessness.

No way! You have to stand up yourself! Zhang Xun knew that there might be a bigger crisis lurking in the future, and during this period of public injury, he must take responsibility, and he must immediately organize his thoughts and start preparing and planning.

"Let's go to the elders now and discuss how to deal with the aftermath." Zhang Xun looked ahead, his expression determined.

"Okay, the elders should be in the council hall."

The two came to the council hall, and sure enough, the elders were there, and Mr. Juan was also among them.

After a salute, everyone sat down in the lobby, but there was no one to say a word for a long time.

Mr. Juan glanced at Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun nodded slightly, then straightened up, and saluted everyone again: "Elders, in tonight's battle, we have captured sixteen Yin soldiers, killed eighteen of its reinforcements, and captured four people, but our losses are also very painful, the villagers were killed in the battle, more than 20 were injured, and my brother Gong Huiran was also seriously injured. We have done a good job in the face of these professional assassins, and the brave men who died to protect the village deserve to be remembered forever for future generations. ”

"Why are you doing this, didn't you say that you won't fight! My grandson, such a good boy, is now beheaded, this! It's all your fault! An elder couldn't control his emotions, and suddenly stood up and pointed at Zhang Xun and scolded.

Zhang Xun looked sad and lamented: "Old man, we are also very sad, these strong men are like my brothers, I want to protect them, and I want to protect the village!" But sacrifice is always inevitable to protect the village, and at this point, we can only remember their heroic spirits. ”

"Woo...... Grandchild...... You pay back my grandson! The elder sat down on the ground and wept bitterly, and the other elders shook their heads and sighed.

"Old man...... ...... also mourning on the festival," Zhang Xun bowed deeply to the weeping elders.

"It's your fault! If it weren't for the three of you outsiders, how could we have suffered this great sin! The elder wept bitterly and pointed at Zhang Xun with his hand resentfully.

Zhang Xun had nothing to say, so he could only bow deeply to everyone again with Ji Zheng.

"Woo...... The grandson ...... "The elder still wept bitterly.

After a long time, the old man's mood calmed down a little, and Mr. Juan stood up and saluted everyone, and then said: "The three gentlemen are the apprentices of my old friends, and they came here to find the old man to settle down, and they have nothing to do with the other people in the village. Without them, we would have fought to defend the village, but at that time, I don't know how many people would have died, and I am afraid that even our old bones would have been killed by the Assassins. ”

Mr. Yan looked around at everyone and saw that a few elders nodded in agreement, so he continued: "Besides, today's matter was also decided by all of you here, and since everyone had no objections at that time, then we must also bear the corresponding price today." ”

Hearing this, although the elders couldn't help sighing, they nodded one after another, and Mr. Juan continued: "Although I have a son, but I am thousands of miles away, I am afraid it will be difficult to see each other again, only one granddaughter, young and weak, just like everyone here, if it is to protect the children and grandchildren, the old man is willing to die without a place to be buried!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xun and Ji Zheng stood up again and bowed deeply to the elders.

After a short silence, Mr. Yan asked Zhang Xun, "How to deal with the current plan?" ”

Zhang Xun looked at Mr. Juan and was very grateful in his heart, for him, in the absence of the public, how to face these elders, how to face the villagers who lost their relatives, is the most difficult level, just now thanks to Mr. Juan to break the siege, otherwise I really don't know what to do.

"Elders, the two of us are in the same sad mood as everyone else at this time, but there is still a lot of work to be done at the moment, and we must hurry up, otherwise we will only encounter an even greater disaster."

"Sir, please." Mr. Juan nodded to Zhang Xun.

"First of all, the Assassins have not been completely extinguished, and I fear that they will not give up, and it is very likely that they will fight back again, and we will not be able to organize resistance, so we must immediately go to the government for help. Second, we need to organize more villagers to participate in the treatment of the wounded. Thirdly, the corpses must be disposed of as soon as possible to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic. Finally, I also asked the elders to help take care of the aftermath and arrange for the condolences and bereavement of the relatives of the deceased. ”

Mr. Juan nodded and said: "What Mr. Zhang said is very true, now he must immediately send someone to the government for help, but the people in the village can't cope with the affairs of the government, and Mr. Gonghui is seriously injured, Mr. Zhang has to coordinate the affairs of the village, huh...... Who should I send? ”

The elders, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all focused on Ji Zheng.

"Political aspirations." Ji Zheng stepped forward and said.

Mr. Juan nodded, "This is not too far from the county seat of Changyi County, if you hurry up, you can reach it in one day and one night, Mr. Ji!" The lives of the whole village will be entrusted to you! ”

"It will live up to expectations! Leave immediately, but you'll need a guide. ”

"Wintertooth can go with you."

"Besides, red mouth and white teeth may not be convincing."

"Okay, I'll engrave the letter slip, and you transfer the letter to the county order - Li Zida is."

"Good!"

Ji Zheng immediately got up and prepared to leave.

Zhang Xun put his hand on Ji Zheng's back and said in a low voice: "Xiao Ji, you must be careful on the road." ”

"I see, don't worry. But here, things are more tricky, so you must be cautious. ”

"Well, I'll take notice."

"Take care of my brother."

"Hmm." Zhang Xun nodded vigorously.

Subsequently, Ji Zheng took the letter and left the village overnight with Dongya to seek assistance from the Changyi County Government.
