Chapter 21: Assassin Encounter

"Catch the assassins! Catch the assassins! "There was a commotion from the palace in the distance.

"Assassins? It seems that the defense of the palace is not very good. Qin Zixin hurriedly moved the candle to the head of the bed and closed the door of the room.

β€œbiedong!” A cold voice came from behind him, and a sword glowing with cold light rested on Qin Zixin's neck.

"This hero, the little woman will never look back, but you must take the sword in your hand, the little woman can't die now."

Qin Zixin turned his back to the human, is his luck so bad? Assassins can also be encountered?

The long sword suddenly fell to the ground, and Qin Zixin turned around to see that the assassin had fallen to the ground, the silver mask on his face was not covered by the black cloth, and a white feather arrow was stuck in his back.

"Are you alright? This wound is poisonous. ”

Qin Zixin took the candle and looked at it carefully, only to see that the feather arrow was inserted very deeply, and he touched his clothes with his hand, and the blood on his fingers was black and purple, which was very similar to the last time when the lotus seed was poisoned.

"I can't die yet, I really didn't expect to meet you here, it seems that God is not kind to me." The man replied weakly.

"Quick, you go over there, and you guys come with me." The noise outside was getting closer.

"It's good that the assassin is you, otherwise my life would have been lost."

Qin Zixin dragged the man to the bed, trying to avoid the feather arrow on his back, Qin Zixin covered him with a quilt and blew out the candle.

"Quick, open the door!" The people outside the door unlocked the lock on the gate of the meditation courtyard and rushed in.

"Open the door!" Qin Zixin saw that the visitor began to tap on the door of the inner courtyard, so she slowly got up, messed up her hair, and opened the door.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for, big night?" Qin Zixin asked with a big yawn.

"You search separately. Girl, have you ever seen a man in black? The chief of the guard commanded his men and began to search the courtyard.

"No, I'm a palace maid who was punished to the meditation courtyard to think, and the outside door has been locked, so I haven't seen anyone come in." Qin Zixin silently blocked the door.

"Commander Hui Wang, no. Not here. "The scattered guards searched the entire courtyard.

"Let's take a look around the house." Wang Yu ordered again.

"Wait, I remember! Just now I heard a knock on the door in a daze, and then there was no movement. Qin Zixin called out to a few guards who walked to the center of the room.

"In that case, we don't have to waste time here, we need to catch up with the Assassins as quickly as possible. The girl was disturbed and took her leave. Let's go. ”

When Wang Yu heard this, he quickly led the guards away.

"It's so dangerous, you wait a minute, I'll secretly help you find a doctor." Qin Zixin put the candle back on the head of the bed.

"Girl, if you don't want to die, don't go out. By the way, do you have scissors here? ”

The man looked at Qin Zixin, who was looking for the doctor, and said, this is the palace, so he will definitely die.

"Also, even if you tell the doctor, it's not reliable. In the case of scissors, there is. ”

Qin Zi said incomprehensibly, could it be said that he would not be able to heal his injuries by himself?

"Then bother the girl, and cut my clothes with scissors." The man smiled weakly, and she still did.

"Okay, Haode."

Qin Zixin took out the scissors from the drawer and cut the clothes on the man's back.

"There's a dagger in my shoes, take it out, cut the wound of the poisoned arrow, pull it out."

The man moved his left foot slightly.

"I, I'm not a doctor, easily pull out the arrow, maybe you'll die!"

Qin Zixin couldn't believe his ears, he actually asked himself to help him pull out the arrow.

"If I don't pull out the arrow, I'll die. My life is now in your hands, do you dare? The man gritted his teeth.

"As long as you dare, I dare!"

Qin Zixin took the dagger in his hand and moved the candle closer, Qin Zixin put the dagger on the candle to sterilize it repeatedly.

"If it hurts, just bite the pillow and don't scream."

Qin Zixin looked at the man in front of him and said silently, silently cheering himself up, Qin Zixin cut the place where the poisonous arrow pierced.

"You're going to be poisoned!"

The man felt a softness in his back, and then saw Qin Zixin spitting black and purple blood on the ground one after another.

"Save people to the end, you can rest assured, my body is invulnerable, not to mention that you have saved me many times."

After the poisoned arrow was pulled out, Qin Zixin lay on the man's back and sucked out the poisonous blood.

After treating the wound, the man fell asleep, and in order not to arouse suspicion, Qin Zixin did not go to the stove in the side room of the meditation courtyard to boil water, but wiped the floor with cold water.

"Why haven't you woken up yet?" It was noon, but there was no sign of waking up.

"I have a fever, how is this good?"

Qin Zixin tried the man's forehead with his hand, only to find that it was very hot and covered with warm sweat.

"Ice water, yes, ice water."

Qin Zixin ran to the well in the backyard, fetched a bucket of water, divided half a basin and brought it to the house, Qin Zixin soaked it with the sweat towel she carried with her, and then wrung it out and tied it to the forehead of the man who was sleeping on his stomach.
