Chapter Seventy-Four: Night Attack
The fierce man smirked and struck in the direction of the emperor, and even though he was cut all over his body by the soldiers who were blocking him, he didn't stop his steps—
The blade in the former's hand was tightly gripped and pierced into the skin of his palm, and he seemed to be unaware, and only the emperor was in his scarlet eyes......
The man's fleshy arms were bruised, and he stabbed at the emperor with a blood-stained blade—
The emperor was so frightened by the sudden change that his face turned pale, and he stood motionless.
Xie Lingxu's heart tightened, and he was in a groove...... The emperor is scared silly......
didn't know what he thought, Xie Lingxu stepped forward one step at a time, and pulled the stiff emperor to his side...... Between the lightning and flint, the barbarian's sharp blade quickly grazed Xie Lingxu's forearm, opening an extremely deep opening......
A few seconds later, the stinging sensation of the wound stabbed, Xie Lingxu was a little dizzy, and saw that the man in front of him was cut off by Youwang Shengsheng's left arm, and immediately fell to the ground on his back and blood foamed - biting his tongue and killing himself.
Xie Lingxu was supported by the emperor, and turned his face to see the latter's flustered look:
"Spirit, how are you?"
Xie Lingxu helped the emperor's hand and endured the increasingly clear pain:
"Nothing."
It's not the first time that labor and management have been cut, and they're all used to it-
Feeling that there seemed to be some apology in the emperor's eyes, Xie Lingxu thought: In fact, I don't know why I helped him suffer this knife just now, maybe I think that if this knife is cut on the emperor's body, it is estimated that it will not be just a small injury of bloodshed.
A tingling sensation struck him unexpectedly, and Xie Lingxu frowned...... Damn, I knew that it hurt so much, so I wouldn't help the emperor block the knife-
King You's face was as pale as frost, he stepped over the corpse of the barbarian, and went straight to the front of Lingxu, his lips were closed, he looked down at the former's arm dripping with blood, and then turned around and spoke:
"Doctor, why don't you get out and take her to heal!"
The imperial doctor holding the medicine box was stared at by King You's cold eyes and didn't dare to raise his head, and helped Xie Lingxu to say resignedly:
"Girl, please come with me."
On the way to the wounded ward by the imperial doctor, Xie Lingxu pondered a question in his heart: the blade in the hands of the barbarian...... How did it come out of nowhere?
Sitting on the wooden chair, the imperial doctor in front of him was dispensing himself with some medicine, Xie Lingxu lay down his bleeding arm, and supported his head with the other hand, thinking that fortunately, the blade used by the barbarians to assassinate the emperor was not poisoned, otherwise he would have to die heroically -
Turning his face to see that the imperial doctor who was possessing him to apply medicine to the wound on his arm was nervous, and he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat, Xie Lingxu couldn't help frowning......
Damn it...... Again—
Xie Lingxu grabbed the medicine bottle on the side of his hand and smashed it at the imperial doctor in front of him, but was narrowly avoided by the latter...... Xie Lingxu shook off the potion on the wound and said coldly:
"Poison my wounds, who are you?"
The man in his early fifties in front of him looked at a loss and said in a panic:
"Someone is trying to harm you, I'm ...... I can't help it. Before he finished speaking, he took out a short sword from his arms and stabbed straight at Xie Lingxu......
Groove ...... It's endless!
Sideways to dodge the former's sword, Xie Lingxu gritted his teeth, the wound on his arm was pulled to a little stinging, and the air was surging with a murderous machine-
The conjured reckless sword was held in the palm of his hand, and he was still somewhat sure of dealing with a mere imperial doctor.
Swallowing his saliva, looking at the hideous-looking man in front of him approaching little by little, Xie Lingxu moved, his eyes were like knives......
It's just that the former's face stopped abruptly less than a foot away from him, and he saw a sharp dagger go straight through the side of Xie Lingxu's eyes, cutting off the former's head alive......
The man's head was in a different place in an instant, and he saw that blood was overflowing from the broken neck in an instant, and his bloody head rolled down to Xie Lingxu's feet......
Groove ...... It's so bloody, isn't it-
The corners of Xie Lingxu's mouth twitched. Hearing a sound behind him, he saw King You frowning and stepping forward quickly, glancing at the round head on the ground, and the blood stains dripping all over the ground, raising his eyes to look at Xie Lingxu's inexplicable expression, and said with an apologetic expression:
"I'm sorry."
Xie Lingxu smiled awkwardly:
"Ah...... Thank you to King You, come to the rescue. ”
King You didn't say a word, looked down at Xie Lingxu's arm that was still dripping blood, and took out a clean scarf from his arms-
Speaking of this Bai Juan scarf, why does it feel a little familiar inexplicably......
Just thinking about it, unexpectedly, the king of You didn't say a word to support Xie Lingxu's injured arm, and the former found out what medicine was in the bottles and cans on the side, so Bai Juan medicated himself and bandaged it-
King You's tone was indifferent: "I know some medical skills." ”
Xie Lingxu wanted to say that in fact, I would too, so there was no need to bother, but looking at the former's focused look, he looked awkwardly to the side and did not speak.
The air was quiet and a little weird, and Xie Lingxu coughed dryly and asked:
"You must have searched the barbarian when he was imprisoned, right? Then where did the blade that he just assassinated the emperor come from? Don't...... Is there really a spy? ”
King You was burying his head in medicine for Xie Lingxu, and when he heard this, he looked up at the person in front of him, and immediately lowered his gaze:
"I found a wound on his chest that was not caused by the execution, it was a deep wound that had been torn after scabbing."
Xie Lingxu nodded slightly:
"I see, it seems that this is a deliberate attempt to make the Underworld Army suspicious, but...... In this way, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to you to justify yourself to everyone. ”
Xie Lingxu secretly thought: The blade that came out of thin air in the barbarian's hand was probably directly embedded in the skin on his chest before the incident, so it was not found out by the person who searched his body. At the time of the incident, the man tore his skin alive, took the sharp blade out of his chest, and used it as a hidden weapon for assassination......
Groove ...... It hurts to think about it, and Xie Lingxu also admires that person's perseverance and courage.
King You: "It's really not easy to prove this, it seems that this person conspired with our army privately to have the opportunity and the weapon to assassinate the emperor." ”
"Actually, there are other people behind the trouble." Xie Lingxu didn't know why he picked up King You's words, and raised his eyes to briefly glance at the latter......
King You tied the last corner of the scarf on Xie Lingxu's arm, turned his back and said in a cold voice:
"The human heart is sinister, since you insist on taking risks, then be careful yourself, don't ...... Always hurt. ”
The former walked out of the doorway, and Xie Lingxu held the bandaged wound on his arm and let out a deep sigh......
It was late at night when he returned to the emperor's side, and when he saw Xie Lingxu who opened the door tent, the emperor's uneasy expression quickly calmed down.
"How's it going?"
Xie Lingxu looked indifferent and breezy, and said that it was nothing, but he didn't know that his face was pale and scary-
Looking at the emperor's incomprehensible expression, Xie Lingxu couldn't help frowning slightly. The former seemed to be entangled for a moment, and it took a lot of effort before he spoke:
"You don't have to ......"
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
The emperor didn't finish his words, but he heard a deafening roar around him-
Xie Lingxu was stunned - he was suddenly swept through his whole body by uneasy emotions.
subconsciously grabbed the emperor's wrist, and immediately saw a cold arrow with a dazzling flame suddenly penetrate the camp tent on his side, narrowly slashing across Xie Lingxu's cheek......
Sneak attack......
Xie Lingxu dragged the emperor and ran out, only to see that outside the tent was dust and sand all over the sky, and the armor-piercing arrows with flames flying in the air were lined up, and the orange fireworks in the dark sky were slowly attacking, and there was a posture that was about to engulf everything......
The intruding enemy army and the surrounding Underworld army fought fiercely, and the chaotic scene came from all around with a violent noise, and I felt that my ears were full of the roars of warriors and the sound of weapons intersecting—
A sense of panic and helplessness instantly surged into his heart, Xie Lingxu clenched the emperor's sleeve and tore his throat and shouted:
"Beware of ...... Arrows"
Seeing that the emperor narrowly brushed a few menacing arrows, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat,
"Your Majesty, let's go ...... now" Before the words fell, a long knife was caught off guard in front of Xie Lingxu, and he dodged sideways, Xie Lingxu subconsciously pulled the emperor behind him, only to see that there was a burly plagiarism man in front of him......
Clutching the reckless sword in his hand, Xie Lingxu whispered in the emperor's ear:
"Go find the King of You—"
The emperor looked back at the former's cold gaze and was a little at a loss:
"Spiritual ......"
The man's sharp long knife was about to come forward, Xie Lingxu pushed the emperor's shoulder, shouted: "Hurry up and ...... go" and immediately picked up the former's heavy knife......
Xie Lingxu struggled with the powerful man in front of him for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the emperor running away, gradually disappearing by the chaotic scene. The injured forearm began to ache faintly, Xie Lingxu looked down at the blood-soaked white scarf on the wound, and couldn't help but grit his teeth......
I saw that the man in front of me suddenly died.
"Xiao Jie—"
Xiao Qixin, who arrived in time, understood the man in front of Lingxu from behind, stepped forward and asked:
"We have been attacked by the enemy, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, Xiaojie, please come with me."
Xie Lingxu followed Xiao Qixin, thinking: I hope that nothing is wrong with the emperor, but I hope he can find King You and settle himself well......
The fierce fighting continued for an hour, and the two sides were deadlocked, except for the increasing number of casualties.
In the interval of killing, Xie Lingxu asked Xiao Qixin on the side:
"Who's fighting us?"
Xiao Qixin: "Of course it's barbarians, those old thieves like the tactic of stealing chickens and dogs the most like night raids. ”
Xie Lingxu wiped the blood foam splashed in the corner of his eyes:
"Barbarians? Haven't we yet reached the northern frontier? ”
Xiao Qixin: "Maybe the barbarians can't hold it anymore and will send troops directly." ”
Xie Lingxu turned around neatly, dodged the sharp arrows that swirled in front of him, and raised his eyes to see that the surrounding enemy troops seemed to have received some instructions, and they retreated.
The sudden truce between the two sides made Xie Lingxu faintly feel a little puzzled...... Looking at the distance in the distance, a lot of people gathered seemed to be happening. Seeing more and more people rushing forward, and seeing the stern side face of King You from a distance, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but feel inexplicably uneasy......
