Chapter 151: Life hangs by a thread
The small bow was so delicately crafted that it was almost the size of half a palm, so that even if it was exposed, it was rarely noticed because of its small design.
That person seemed to do this kind of thing often, so when the arrow on his wrist was aimed at Chu Xingyue, his expression was still calm, as if the person who was about to be shot by him was not a person, but an ordinary chicken, duck, fish and goose.
Chu Xingyue stood on the conspicuous steps, still speaking comforting words, not aware of the approaching danger at all.
And Yunxiao and the sergeants of the Gyeonggi camp who were guarding her didn't notice anything wrong in the slightest, until a cold dark light finally shot out of the bow and crossbow.
With a 'whoosh', it flew straight towards Chu Xingyue's neck.
Before Chu Xingyue could react, she only heard an exclamation from the clouds in her ears, and then she felt an arm suddenly coming from her side, blocking her waist and about to take her away.
The speed of the arrows that flew was too fast, even if Yunxiao had already brought Chu Xingyue with the fastest speed, but at the last moment, her shoulder was still pierced by the arrow.
Chu Xingyue only felt a burst of pain coming from her heart, and before she could let out a painful snort, a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth.
Everyone didn't expect such a thrilling thing to happen suddenly at this time, the air fell into a short period of condensation, and then, I don't know who suddenly let out a piercing scream, everyone recovered from the shock, and suddenly, the front yard immediately became a mess.
Yunxiao hugged Chu Xingyue, who had been paralyzed by the arrow in his body, and his eyes were almost torn apart with anger, only to see him roar angrily and shout to the soldiers beside him, "Close the gate, you are not allowed to let anyone here." ”
The people of the Gyeonggi camp had already taken action, and watching Princess Ling being assassinated under their heavy protection was also the greatest humiliation and provocation for them.
Therefore, almost instantly, the people of the Gyeonggi camp surrounded the chaotic victims.
Some timid victims had never encountered such a situation, and they had long been frightened and confused, and when they saw that they were surrounded by officers and soldiers, they thought that they were going to die, and they wanted to leave the post house impulsively.
For a while, the relations between the military and the people, which had finally eased down, became tense again, and the people of the Gyeonggi battalion were obviously no longer polite to these disaster victims, and as long as they dared to make trouble, they dared to greet these unarmed disaster victims with the broad knives in their hands.
In a matter of moments, several victims were lowered to the ground by the sergeants, and a faint smell of blood was in the air.
Chu Xingyue only felt that half of her arms seemed to have been removed, and the pain on her shoulders was extremely torturous, spreading from the wound to the limbs, and in the end, she felt that even her brain was in pain.
However, although the pain in her body was unbearable, her spirit could barely support it, and she saw the victims who were in chaos because of her injuries, and she saw the soldiers of the Gyeonggi battalion draw their broadswords and show their fierce side to the weak people.
She is afraid that innocent people will be affected because of her injuries, so she wants the real culprit behind the scenes to get away with it and get what she wants.
Therefore, she tried her best to endure the pain of fainting in pain, grabbed Yunxiao's arm hard, supported her eyelids that were about to droop, and explained, "Don't hurt innocent people." ”
At this time, Yunxiao almost turned into a wolf dog that protected the master, and he couldn't wait to tear everyone present clean.
Seeing that Chu Xingyue was still telling him these irrelevant things at this moment, he showed his untamed side in front of her for the first time, "The prince explained, told his subordinates to protect the princess and your safety, but if someone wants to find death, then I will fulfill him." ”
Seeing the murderous fierceness in Yunxiao's eyes, Chu Xingyue looked worriedly at the victims who were surrounded in the middle of the courtyard by the sergeants holding sharp weapons, she knew very well that for the superiors, killing a few people under anger was not a big problem at all.
Even, maybe because of her accident, the people present will not return, thinking that there may be a river of blood here because of her, Chu Xingyue can't sit idly by.
Looking at the scrawny victims who were driven to the center of the courtyard like livestock, and looking at their eyes full of fear and fear, Chu Xingyue thought of the promise he had made to them just now.
One second, she promised them that they would return home, but the next second, the situation took a turn for the worse, and their lives were threatened; The situation in front of her was like a slap in Chu Xingyue's face, making her almost shameless to face those pitiful and frightened eyes.
No! She can't watch Yunxiao and the people of Gyeonggi Daying treat the innocent people here as perpetrators, let alone let them do irreparable wrongs.
Thinking of this, Chu Xingyue looked at Yunxiao's angry eyes again, and there was compelling pressure in her tone, "Yunxiao, this princess, as Princess Ling, orders you not to hurt anyone here until the matter is investigated; Aren't you unable to explain to Zhao Ling? Okay, now this princess will help you find out the real culprit and let you explain to Zhao Ling. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Xingyue closed her eyes.
Silently chanted in his heart: Heavenly Eye! Open!
In an instant, the courtyard full of hundreds of people was in full view of her.
The expressions on everyone's faces, the eye contact, and the movements between raising hands and feet were all exposed under her nose.
Her keen gaze swept over everyone's faces with precision, and finally, she identified the three people who behaved the most strangely and told them to the clouds.
"There are three men in gray coarse linen shirts in the left rear of the crowd, you can have someone arrest them."
Yunxiao looked at her in surprise when she heard Chu Xingyue's words, and then suddenly thought of what the prince had said to him, and immediately understood everything.
It seems that the princess has opened the eyes of heaven and has identified the murderer, and at the moment, although it is very important to capture the murderer, her life and safety are the top priority.
Looking at Chu Xingyue's worried eyes, Yunxiao closed his eyes fiercely, and finally agreed under Chu Xingyue's ardent expectations, "My subordinates promised the princess that they would not hurt the people here, and I ask the princess to forgive me, and my subordinates will take you back to investigate the injury." ”
Finally getting the answer he wanted from Yunxiao, Chu Xingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After the hanging heart was finally put down, Chu Xingyue felt the pain from the wound, and in an instant, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and even his delicate body couldn't help but tremble.
Looking at Chu Xingyue, whose face suddenly became extremely ugly, Chun Xing had already cried in fright.
Yunxiao also shouted at his side with an ugly face, "Go find the doctor." ”
Then, picking up Chu Xingyue, whose breath had become extremely unstable, ran quickly towards the backyard.
After Chu Xingyue was placed on the bed, because she couldn't bear the pain from the wound, she vomited out a mouthful of black blood from her mouth again.
Looking at the black viscous blood, Yunxiao's face had already changed, he was a person who practiced martial arts, and he naturally knew that if it was a simple wound, it would not make the injured person vomit blood of this color; Now Chu Xingyue's breath was sluggish in just a few breaths, and even his eyes appeared to be sluggish.
As you can imagine, this injury must be extremely dangerous.
Thinking of a terrifying possibility, Yunxiao couldn't care about anything at the moment, and asked Chun Xing to help Chu Xingyue and remove the clothes from her shoulders.
Seeing that the skin on his shoulders that was as white as snow was showing black and purple at the moment, Rao was used to seeing all kinds of wind and rain in the sky, and he couldn't help but turn white.
Chun Xing had never seen such a dangerous wound, and tears of fright couldn't stop falling out of her eyes, and she asked Yunxiao with a trembling voice, "Why is Miss's wound so terrifying?" Why has the skin changed color here? Yunxiao, you are well-informed, do you know what is going on? ”
Yunxiao's face was also shocked after seeing Chu Xingyue's wound, and his soul drifted away a lot, at this moment, he really felt like falling into an ice cave, and even his fingers were cold.
After a while, he muttered his voice, and said weakly, "It's poison, and the arrow is poisonous." ”
"What? How so? ”
Chun Xing felt that her whole person had softened, if she hadn't had to help Chu Xingyue, who had already entered a coma in her arms, she would probably really fall to the ground, and she didn't know what to do.
After a brief panic, Yunxiao ran to the door again, shouting at the people waiting outside, "Where's the doctor?" Why haven't you come yet?! ”
"It's coming, it's coming! The doctor is here! ”
At this moment, I saw Han Fang, the prefect of Yuezhou, rushing to hear the news, and behind him, he was followed by a white-haired old man, the old man was dressed in cloth, although he was dressed simply, his eyes were bright, and he looked at the appearance of a folk doctor.
Han Fang ran out of breath, and looked at Yunxiao, who was eroded with restless breath all over his body, and did not dare to slack off, so he quickly introduced the old man and said: "Yun Gongzi, this is the most respected Zhou Lao in our Yuezhou, and his skill of Qihuang is comparable to that of the imperial doctor in the palace. ”
Yunxiao hugged his fist gratefully at Han Fang, and didn't care about other red tape at the moment, leading Zhou Lao towards the room, and at the same time explaining Chu Xingyue's situation.
"My princess was hit by a short arrow, and I thought that the injury was only on the shoulder, but I didn't expect that the thief had poisoned the short arrow; At present, the princess has fallen into a coma, and she has vomited several mouthfuls of black blood before she falls into a coma; The princess is valued by the prince of my family, if something happens in Yuezhou, with the character of the prince of my family, she will never stop if she does not turn the world upside down; I also ask Zhou Lao to go all out to save the life of my princess, Yunxiao is here to thank you a thousand times. ”
Zhou Lao listened carefully to Yunxiao's explanation, and after hearing that the injured person was poisoned by arrow, his eyes narrowed, and his mood became heavy.
You must know that the most taboo thing for this murderer is to use poison, because if poison is used, it must be a deadly poison that seals the throat when you see blood.
Listening to Yunxiao say so much about the princess's situation, it is not difficult to guess that the situation is already very critical and her life is hanging by a thread.
