Chapter 62: Bloody Night
Chapter 62: Bloody Night
The housekeeper was frightened by my eager tone, and couldn't figure out what was going on, so he said, "Masterβthe master should be in the studyβ" Yes, according to my father's habit, after dinner and before going to bed, most of the time I stayed in the study to deal with official business, and I was overwhelmed by fear.
I hurriedly left the housekeeper uncle and wanted to rush in, but he remembered something irrelevant and reminded me: "Miss, there have been people visiting the master for several days in a row, according to the old man, those people are not from Qinzhou." "He is in charge of the affairs of the whole mansion, big and small, and nothing unusual can escape his eyes, and he keeps me on guard because he also smells bad news.
"Thank you, uncle, I'll go to my dad and ask for clarification."
That's right, why did Dad insist on driving me to Qinglu Temple, even if I was extremely reluctant to let him insist on me leaving, it was probably because he didn't want me to meet these people, in other words, Dad must have something big to hide from me, as for Dugu Hao, who didn't report it, I will settle accounts with him later.
I ran in the direction of the study in a hurry, and I didn't even see a subordinate who was keeping vigil along the way, there has never been such a situation in the Qin Mansion for more than ten years, my hunch is even worse, who will it be that my father's ability is not enough to fight? The Qin family's calm and calm eyes are about to be broken.
When I arrived outside the study, I saw a figure reflected by the candlelight in the window, and it was clearly not my father! There's another guy standing on the other side of the house, what are they going to do to my father?
The uneasiness in my heart was very strong, I instantly moved close to the door, pushed the door open without hesitation, and quickly swept my eyes into the room, and when I saw my father, my heart ached, and I almost couldn't stand steadily.
I saw my father leaning on the Taishi chair with his hands covering his heart and gasping for breath, in my eyes, the invincible father who stood up to the sky and the earth, was dying at the moment, a few strands of hair were scattered on the side of his face, and his chest was a hole that was constantly bleeding out, dyed a large area of red clothes, very scary.
When my father saw me breaking in alone, his eyes suddenly lit up, his upper body suddenly stood upright, his other hand clenched into a fist, and he roared with his last breath: "Xi'er, listen to Dad, go quickly." β
After saying a few words, he seemed to have lost his soul and collapsed on the Taishi's chair.
"You are Qin Xi."
I went to look at the two people in the house, one of them was wearing a night robe to cover his face, holding a sword in his right hand, the tip of the sword was still dripping blood, he was the one who stabbed my father. The other person is dressed in exquisite clothes, handsome and deep-eyed, this person is born with the spirit of a king, quite unruly and deep, he is arrogant like a god who rules the life and death of mortals: "You run away now, there is still time, I will spare you from death." β
What a conceited tone, as if I should have knelt in front of him and begged for my life.
If you don't call the doctor to help, your father will die. Thinking that my father is my only relative in this world, I can't stand idly by, I can't exchange my father's life for my reluctance, if I am the only one who lives humbly, what is the point?
Even I didn't realize how horrible the people I was dealing with.
"Who are you?!" I could only try to suppress my fear and trembling.
"You'll find out soon."
I stared at the man with resentment, almost trying to dig a hole in his face.
"You dare to come alone, you still have some courage." He wanted me to die as easily as possible, but he seemed to be happy to see me anxious and tormented: "If you are willing to beg me, I will leave Qin Cheng's life, how about it?" β
I clenched my fists and tried to make my voice sound firm, the daughter of the Qin family would never wag her tail and beg for mercy on the enemy: "I will avenge my father if he dies, as long as I still breathe, I will be punished even if I am far away." β
He smiled weirdly, as if he had heard a funny joke: "Oh? It's up to you? β
He was tired of dealing with me, and said directly to the silent man behind him: "I'll leave it to you here, after dawn, I don't want to hear the news that Qin Cheng is alive." β
He gave a death order to take my father's life. My body trembled uncontrollably under fear and anger. The man walked away, as if he was unimpeded in the Qin Mansion, and he was not afraid of being seen at all, because of his father's acquiescence.
There was a tense atmosphere in the room, the strings in my head seemed to break at any moment, and my breathing could be heard quietly in the air. I couldn't take my eyes off the sword in the man's hand, for fear that the sword would take my father's life in an instant.
After a few blinks of an eye, he quickly struck his father with his sword.
It's so fast, so fast that I don't have time to think about it. With the strength under my feet, my body instinctively swept in my father's direction, just asking God to help me.
"Shhh
He seemed to be surprised that I could block in front of my father for a moment, it was too late to withdraw the sword, he turned his right hand in the lightning, the tip of the sword deviated from the position of the heart and pierced my shoulder, the pain made me a spirit, the man's movements were stagnant, I was unexpected, I took advantage of the gap he was stunned to raise his hand and pull out the sword violently, he took two steps back from the reverse force, raised the sword to block the poisonous needle flying out of my sleeve, the poisonous needle stared at the pillar behind his ear, I had struggled to stand up, holding three poisons in my hand aimed at him: "If you don't want to die, get out of me!" β
Like a little beast on the verge of death and cornered, trying by all means to survive, his shoulders and palms were a terrible red, he was finally shocked by my fierce appearance, afraid of the poisonous needle in my hand, and gave up the assassination.
The man left the study, I didn't dare to relax, ran out of the house and sent a *shooting* signal into the night sky, a shocking red light crossed, from this moment on, Qinzhou entered a state of alert, no one is allowed to enter or leave Qinzhou City without the order of my father and me.
Uncle Butler hurriedly came, he saw Dad was startled at first, and then quickly took out a small bottle from the dark compartment, poured out two heart pills for Dad to take, I and he worked together to place Dad on the couch, and he hurriedly asked the doctor to come over.
I knelt in front of me and stood motionless guarding my father, who had fallen into a coma, and fell into the cold like an ice cellar. There are things that come out of my head, but I can't find a clue.
Dugu Hao and the doctor came at the same time, the doctor hurriedly treated his father, he stood on the side and watched, without half a look of sadness, as if he had already foreseen the tragedy. Obviously, he had reached some kind of deal with his father, and no matter how much he forced him at this time, he would not tell me the truth.
The doctor stopped the bleeding for my father, applied medicine powder, and carefully bandaged my father, and his expression was always solemn. He took up his pen and prescribed the medicine, and instructed the housekeeper to grab the medicine.
"Doctor, tell me the truth, how is my father's injury?" Blood gushing out of such a big blood hole, I can't forget it.
He sighed, and was embarrassed: "The sword centrifugal pulse is only one inch away, but fortunately, the heart protection pill is fed in time, I have done everything I can, if I can't survive tonight, I will not be able to return to the sky." β
The wounds on my body and hands were less painful than one-tenth of what I heard these words, and I didn't even have the strength to cry, and the doctor was so focused on dealing with my father's injuries that he noticed the blood marks on my blood-stained shoulders and palms, and my face was so pale that there was no blood, it was excessive blood loss, and he was so shocked that he changed his tone: "Miss, you are injured!" β
I don't know why he was so surprised to see me injured, Dugu Hao's face changed, and he hurriedly squatted down to check my injury, his eyes fell on my shoulders and palms, and his eyes were dyed with pain: "Why don't you say anything after such a serious injury?" β
He turned to the doctor and said sharply: "Quickly clean her wound and apply medicine." β
I was already angry with him, he was obviously in the Qin Mansion, my father was in danger, he was in danger and he didn't come to the rescue, who was he acting at this time, I coldly brushed his hand away: "The housework of the Qin Mansion, it is not the turn of Young Master Dugu to bother." The door is there, get out of here! β
I had a grudge in my heart, and it was hard to hear him, and his hand froze in mid-air, and he stopped talking, and finally left.
Uncle Housekeeper called the maid to take off my shirt for me, and when I drugged my shoulder, my eyes were so painful that I bit my lip to prevent myself from crying out. I have never been so seriously injured when I am so big, the maid tears rippled, crying made me feel even more sad, in the past I accidentally cut my fingers, I can still shout for a while, now in just one hour, I have experienced life and death, but I can't cry.
After bandaging the wound, I changed into a set of clean clothes and went to my father's side to guard, I have instructed the housekeeper to transfer the dead to guard the Qin Mansion all night, in case the killer I forced back from returning, all I can do is to guard my father and guard the Qin Mansion.
After settling everything, I was finally left alone in the room with my father, I looked at my father's weak face, held his calloused big hand, and couldn't stop the tears from falling. Where I can't see, how many secrets is my dad hiding? He supported Qinzhou City alone, how much did he carry for my carefreeness? How important is it that deserves his life to give up resistance? When he made this choice, did he ever wonder how his only daughter would accept his death?
What makes me even more uncomfortable is that my father sent me far away, if Dugu Hao hadn't brought me back in advance, would he have asked me to stay in Qinglu Temple stupidly, and only rush back to mourn when I heard the news of my father's death?
There is no moon tonight, but the entire Qin Mansion is brightly lit, I am ready to fight to the death, even if I lose my life, I must not let my father die so inexplicably. Outside the door were guarded, and I still didn't let up. I remember how fast the killer's sword was, and I got lucky enough to fight him off, and if he returned, I couldn't be sure I would have luck.
The only three remaining flying needles were not quenched, only the first needle that *shot* happened to be infected with venom, it turned out that I was almost attacked by a poisonous snake before, I kept an eye and asked Dugu Hao to help me prepare a hidden weapon in case of emergency, I didn't think it would come in handy so soon.
If it weren't for my instincts, I would have almost never seen my dad again, and the thought of it makes my heart ache. I never felt that time was so difficult, and after another hour with my eyes wide open, my father's body began to heat up, as the doctor said. I ordered the maid to make a basin of cold water, put a damp cloth soaked in water on my father's forehead, and change it from time to time, so as not to burn my father's brain if the high fever does not go away.
The night was extraordinarily long. Every once in a while I would probe my father's breath with my hand, for fear that I would lose him. At the dawn of the sky, my spirit was close to collapse, that person did not return to kill again, the Qin Mansion was safe and sound, and my father was still alive.
Qi Ao rushed back, and before he had time to take off the cloak on his body, my nose was inexplicably sour when I saw him, and two lines of tears couldn't help but flow down. If my father will protect me, how can he affect the apprentice he has raised for many years? He must have arranged other errands for Qi Ao to keep him away.
"I'm sorry I'm late." He held me tightly in his arms, panting heavily.
My tense body suddenly relaxed, my vision gradually blurred, and I passed out in his arms.
