Life hangs by a thread
The arrows of the Assassin's bow were like embroidery needles, and they shot straight at me without pause. With my eyes closed, the arrow was blocked by Changji's swing and fell to the ground, and I was secretly relieved.
We're defenseless now, and we're facing a couple of big men with sharp blades.
As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, and heroes don't suffer immediate losses.
After thinking about it again and again, I had to persuade him: "Forget it, we don't have any weapons, so if we can't fight, let's run."
Changji sighed, pushed me behind the stone pillar and hid, and rushed up with one arrow of his own arrow, fighting the others.
Changji's arm was strong, and he slashed towards the neck of one of the men in black, but the assassin couldn't dodge it and was pinned by Changji's neck.
Changji snatched the sword from his hand and sealed his throat with a sword.
As I clapped my hands, another group of black-clad assassins escaped, and the pedestrians panicked and fled left and right, and shouts were heard everywhere.
Changji and the assassins were fighting and fighting, and I couldn't help, so I had to call for help: "Come on!" There are assassins! Catch the assassins! ”
Failing to call a helper, he did attract the attention of the Assassins. They seemed to see me, raised their swords, and swarmed at me.
Changji kicked over the temporary wooden arch on the side of the street, temporarily blocking this catastrophe, I was still in a daze, Changji had dragged me to gallop, leaping east and west. We mixed in the crowd and ran quickly towards the broken bridge, and in the process of running, the lantern in my hand was accidentally squeezed out, and I was trampled by the people who ran in a panic. I didn't have time to care, and I clutched the mask in my hand. I thought that as long as I crossed the bridge, it would be the county yamen, and at that time, Changji and I would be safe.
Because the push and shoved the lampstand and set fire to a series of stalls, the fire quickly expanded, burning most of the street.
The Assassins slashed along the way, the screams of the people drowned out the fireworks, and I looked back to see that Suzaku Street was already bleeding and blazing. The cries of children are very small in the noisy environment.
I didn't have time to cross the bridge before I was stopped by an assassin descending from the sky......
In addition to the screams of the tourists, the roars of the assassins, and the cries of children, I could hear the silver bells ringing in the midst of the light. The bell was getting closer and closer, buzzing through my cochlea, but I didn't know which direction it was coming from, and it made me feel uneasy and my head cracked.
I squatted down in pain and hugged my head, and I took time out of my busy schedule to worry about me, and he asked anxiously: "Missing, what's wrong with you." On the other hand, he was busy fending off the assassins.
I couldn't speak, I struggled to look up at him, it was so dark that I couldn't see his face clearly.
"Changji, I have a headache again."
"Don't be afraid, follow me."
He bent over to help me, and as he clasped his hands, he was attacked by an assassin behind him, slitting my wrist and his wrist.
Changji was furious, and turning back was a sword. The moment the sword was drawn from the assassin's chest, it brought out steaming blood, splashing my face, and the blood flowed down my right cheek and into my neck, wet, slippery, and unusually uncomfortable.
I was so frightened and frightened that I opened my mouth slightly, and I burst into my mouth a few drops.
I let out an "ahh The man fell right in front of me, staring at him as if his eyes were dead, and the blood slowly flowed from under him, wetting a large patch.
Changji crossed his eyebrows and looked coldly, glanced at the crowd, squatted down again, raised his sleeve to wipe my face, his voice was hoarse, and said softly: "I'm sorry I scared you."
I shook my head in a daze and said no.
His eyes were bloodshot, his face was pale, and his whole body was full of an unconcealable aura of murder.
I looked at his bleeding hands, and I was so distressed that I was about to cry, and I endured my headache and desperately tore off a piece of my skirt to bandage him. But the Assassin, who was pressing forward step by step, didn't give us time at all.
I exclaimed, "Changji, be careful behind you."
The two assassins raised their swords and slashed, and Changji reflexively pushed me away, and immediately got up, raised their swords and killed both of them.
He pinched his eyebrows, then wrapped the cloth around his wrist indiscriminately, and said coldly with his sword, "Who sent you here!"
No one made a sound, probably for fear of being recognized.
Changji had his back to me, and I couldn't see his expression, but I could see his hand holding the sword shaking slightly.
He suddenly roared: "If you don't say it, then you all have to die today!"
With that, he stepped forward again and fought against him.
…………
……
I was unscathed by Changji's protection, but he was badly injured. The eerie silver bells gradually disappeared, and the headache eased slightly.
When the night guards on duty finally heard the news, the assassins had almost been killed by Changji, and this group of wine bags and rice bags were purely here to pick up ready-made.
Changji's eyes were red, but he also held back his anger to leave a living question. He forced himself forward, and the remaining two assassins saw that the opportunity was not good, and before they could capture them alive, they immediately killed themselves with swords.
The sword fell to the ground, and the "clang" was deafening.
Changji was physically exhausted at the moment, his face was terrifyingly pale, and his lips were purple. Seeing that he was about to go limp, I scrambled to my feet, and he was half-on his knees with his sword. I hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and he looked back to see that I was relieved and rested his head on my shoulder.
I wiped the sweat beads on his forehead for him in distress, and hugged him tightly, I didn't dare to cry, for fear that tears would drop on his wounds.
"Changji...... How much it hurts to be so badly injured. ”
Half of his body was covered in blood, and blood was gushing out of the place where the arrow had hit.
"Changji ......" I helped him and covered his wounds with my hands, and under the light, the back of my hands was covered with his blood.
His mouth was purple, and his eyes were unfocused. My heart tightened, and the secret channel was not good.
Could it be that arrows are poisonous?
I was anxious and afraid, desperately calling the forbidden army who was looking for a living mouth: "Come on, send him to the doctor, hurry!"
I squatted on the ground and tried to hold back my cry: "Changji, Changji, how are you?"
He shook his head, too weak to do anything, but he was still asking me, "You're not hurt, are you?" It's good if you don't have it......"
Before I finished a sentence, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the blood splashed on my cloak, and I immediately cried out and called his name in tears: "Changji!"
He was still a little sober, and when he saw that I was crying miserably, he was amused and helpless: "I still ...... Not dead yet...... You cry so badly, how much does it hurt me...... It's okay, I won't ......" Before he could finish speaking, he fainted.
I sent Changji back to the Yonghe Palace, and I hurried into the inner room with my grief to inform Anping and Yonghe King Changji of their injuries.
But King Yonghe is still in the palace to deal with government affairs, and only Anping is in the palace.
When she saw that I was covered in blood and embarrassed, she was stunned and lost her mind. Hurriedly asked me what happened, I didn't have time to explain the detailed process of the matter, I only picked the most critical one, and said in a thick cry: "Anping Niangniang, Changji is injured, quickly send someone to invite the imperial doctor, go and ask the imperial doctor."
An Ping was stunned for a moment, paused, and immediately sent the servants in the palace to ask for a doctor.
After the people left, An Ping grabbed my hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Where is Changji, take me to see it."
…………
My hands and feet were weak, and I tried to contain the fear in my heart.
……
After about half an hour, the servant led Imperial Physician Chen and Imperial Physician Mo to hurry over. When Imperial Physician Chen saw the drowsy Changji on the bed, he gasped when he detected the injury. Doctor Mo calmed down, approached quickly, and gently ripped off the placket of Changji's clothes. He looked up at me, and respectfully invited me to wait outside, saying that he was afraid that he would frighten me when he dealt with the terrible bloody wounds.
I sneered and categorically refused: "I'm not afraid, if you deal with yours, I promise not to disturb you." I was watching him, and I had to watch him wake up before leaving. ”
Imperial Physician Chen arched his hand and said: "The princess is a woman, how can she see that the man is shirtless, or please move the lotus step."
An Ping also said: "Lacking, you haven't left the cabinet yet, it's really out of place here."
"When do you still care about these false courtesies, I won't leave. Ask the Imperial Doctor to quickly clean the wound for Changji. ”
I stubbornly wanted to stay here, but at first, Imperial Physician Chen was not allowed, but when he saw my tough attitude, Imperial Physician Mo was moved, so he had to persuade him to let me stay here.
An Ping's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he patted my back gently, obviously he was very sad, and he was still comforting me softly: "It's okay, Changji has been in good health since he was a child, and this injury will kill him."
I nodded heavily, confident that he would be fine. The clothes were peeled away, revealing a long chest, and the flesh was blurred. Looking downstream, his arms and wrists were dark red and dazzling, and there were shocking bloody wounds. I was dumbfounded, and my heart was so distressed. An Ping turned his head and sobbed sadly. I stood at the head of the bed, only feeling that my legs and feet were weak and cold, but I was still pretending to be calm, and I watched the imperial doctor treat Changji's wounds.
I don't know how long it took for the blood at the long wound to barely stop.
——
Changji was injured this time, although he was glad that the arrow was not poisonous and could not hurt him, but it was still not to be underestimated.
Because of excessive bleeding, he fell asleep for two days and two nights, and there was no sign of waking up. An Pingyi and I are inseparable, and we always stay by his side.
I looked at his dark sleeping face, feeling guilty and distressed, and secretly cried several times when there was no one around. Even though An Ping doesn't blame me, I still feel that this matter has a lot to do with me, and Changji's injury is mostly caused by me. Those assassins, they must have been sent by Yuan Qi to kill me, and it was I who caused Changji to kill him.
If I hadn't been separated and Changji came looking for me, I wouldn't have encountered this unfortunate thing. If I hadn't insisted on refusing to leave, and had to stay to watch some midnight fireworks, he wouldn't have been stabbed by the assassins to protect me, and he wouldn't be lying here dead now.
Thinking about this makes me feel even more ashamed.
On the fourth day, the wound on Changji's chest worsened, and the high fever did not stop, and the imperial doctor came seven or eight times, and all kinds of prescriptions were exhausted, but he could not wake him up.
On the fifth day, he still didn't wake up, I began to panic, and Anping also panicked, blocking all the people who wanted to come to visit Changji, leaving me to stay by Changji's side all the time. During the period when Changji was in a coma, Nandi came twice, Qin Luoxue and Tao Ruo also came four or five times, but Baili Yuan and Meng Jie were never seen. I heard that Baili was suddenly sent by the Southern Emperor to Pizhou for disaster relief three days ago, and took Meng Jie with him when he left.
This is really a coincidence, but there is no Meng Jie, if Meng Jie is here, he will definitely be able to heal Changji.
Seeing that Changji was about to be unable to support it, Anping Niangniang and King Yonghe had no choice but to personally beg Emperor Nan to order him to recall Meng Jie.
