Chapter 21: Where to Hurt

"Catch the assassins! Catch the assassins! ”

"Quick! Come on! ”

"The Assassin should have come in this direction."

Dense and hurried footsteps hurried away with dazzling torches.

In the dark and moonless night, when the courtyard behind the back was quiet again, the dense grass was windless and automatic, revealing a pair of unusually vigilant eyes between the swaying.

The man, huddled in the grass, let out a gasp that was more violent than the other.

He looked around vigilantly, covering his injured abdomen with one hand and moving forward a little bit with the other.

Although he was injured, his movements were not slow, and under the cover of the night, his body moved behind the rockery in the courtyard.

But before he could make any more stops, he heard someone rushing towards the courtyard.

"Quick, this way."

The masked man's burning gaze gradually darkened little by little, and he struggled to sit up, he could clearly feel that the wound had begun to crack due to the violent movements, and blood continued to gush out.

The thick smell of blood wafted out little by little.

The masked man reached out and rubbed his blood-stained palm on the placket of his shirt, and then took out a dagger between his sleeves and placed it horizontally on his chest, adjusting its position.

"Steward!"

The commotion of the crowd was slightly flustered, and the masked man calmed down and faintly heard their conversation.

"Look, here."

The leading man waved his hand, and the group of guards who followed behind him were silent, and after looking at each other, they cautiously followed behind the man and followed.

The man's broad palm touched the handle of the long knife hanging from his waist and slowly pulled it out.

The shiny blade flickered against the torch.

The man screamed, and suddenly slashed towards the gap in the rockery.

But the imaginary sound of the hilt striking did not appear, and the man was slightly stunned to realize that his long knife was caught between the gaps.

It took a lot of effort to pull it out.

"Steward Li, look." Someone squatted down, touched some bright red on a protruding stone, held it up in front of the man, and said in a deep voice. "It's blood."

Steward Li put away the long knife, his eyes flickered, and he ordered in a deep voice. "The thief is wounded, and he will not be able to run far."

"Give me a closer look."

"Yes!"

.....

"Master." The door was slammed hard, and Yun Zhen, who was originally discussing something with Qi Shenghua in a low voice, rolled up the object that was similar to kraft paper on the tabletop into her arms, her eyes flashed, and she listened for a moment.

"Who."

Qi Shenghua walked out from behind the table, holding a candle in his hand, and asked in a deep voice.

"Master."

At this moment, Yun Zhen heard it, so anxious, it was Liuli?

Yun Hao walked quickly to the door and pulled the door open.

As soon as the door opened, Yun Hao smelled a strong smell of blood, and she paused slightly.

Then I saw a black shadow quickly planted in.

The glass figure that was originally leaning on the door of the room was crooked, and she fell into it, if she was alone, I am afraid it would not be like this.

She was still carrying a person on her body, so she was caught off guard, and Bai Qi, who didn't stand firm, but fortunately came out from behind her, took a hand and scooped up the man who was covered in blood and had less air in and more out of breath.

Yun Zhen took a step back, because the lights were dim, she didn't see clearly who was the one who was resisted by Liuli, she could only roughly see that it was a man.

"Glass?"

Liuli, for no reason, won't bring such a person back, this person's identity?

"Xiao Jiu?"

Seeing that Yun Zhen had already guessed the identity of this man, Liuli hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Yun Hao with her blood-stained hand. "Master, master, save Xiao Jiu."

Although Yun Zhen has thousands of speculations and questions in her heart, she wants to ask where this glass came from to save people.

But looking at Xiao Jiu's bleeding amount, I'm afraid it won't last long.

Yun Zhen turned around, Qi Shenghua had already walked closer with a candle at this moment, she took advantage of the firelight, Xiao Jiu's eyes were fast, and she turned around, and ordered Liuli to seal a few big holes for him before she grabbed his veins.

After a moment, Yun Zhen groaned. "Quick, put him on the bed."

Bai Qi, who was holding Xiao Jiu, subconsciously glanced back at Qi Shenghua, and saw Qi Shenghua nodding his head, so he did this.

Xiao Jiu's abdomen was hit by a penetrating arrow, not deep but the angle was very tricky and ruthless, so the amount of bleeding was so unusual, Yun Zhen sat on the edge of the bed and diagnosed him again.

The person who started this attack is very tricky with arrows, and generally speaking, the abdomen is injured, and it will not bleed into this way anyway.

Where was Xiao Jiu injured?

Yun Zhen's eyes flickered, and this thought just circled around in her mind, and then left it behind.

Qi Shenghua saw that Yun Zhen had already started to remove the arrows for Xiao Jiu, and knew that he couldn't help much at the moment.

Holding the candle flame, he turned his eyes to the blood on the ground, which had been delaying its entry.

"White deeds."

Bai Qi's figure moved slightly, and between the candle flame jumps, he moved to Qi Shenghua's side. "Master."

"Go clean up."

Qi Shenghua frowned, turned his head to look at the anxious glass like ants on a hot pot, his eyes blinked slightly, the corners of his lips overflowed with a sigh, and he waved his hand. "If you can't dispose of it, delay it a little longer, and then I'll be in control."

"Yes."

Concern is chaos, and Bai Qi probably understands what Qi Shenghuaqiao means when he looks at Liuli.

When the bloodstains in the room were cleaned up, the injuries on Xiao Jiu's body were almost disposed of.

Yun Zhen wiped the sweat from the corner of her forehead, threw the bloody arrow in her hand aside, and then raised her eyes to look around the room.

"Ruri, do you know what mistakes you made today?"

Liuli saw Yun Zhen treat Xiao Jiu's wound with her own eyes, and applied it with good gold sore medicine, Xiao Jiu's pale complexion was slightly relieved, and Liuli was relieved, and at this moment, when she heard Yun Zhen ask such a question, her face suddenly turned pale.

Kneeling at Yun Zhen's feet, he said in a deep voice. "Subordinates know their mistakes."

Qi Shenghua looked at Yun Zhen's bloody fingertips, frowned slightly, and took out a snow-white silk handkerchief from his arms to wipe off the blood on Yun Zhen's fingertips.

Yun Zhen only glanced at him with his eyes, and let him go.

"Hmph." Yun Zhen looked at the top of Liuli's head, and finally only snorted softly and said coldly. "Don't take it as an example."

"You have to remember, this is not Ling Guo after all, something went wrong, even I can't protect you."

Liuli lowered her eyes and answered in a deep voice.

Yun Zhen didn't want to say more, after all, she knew very well what kind of character Liuli was in her heart.

After all, this person is not a sage, who can be without fault?

Just mention a few words, Yun Zhen turned her eyes to look at Xiao Jiu, who was lying motionless on her side.

Xiao Jiu portrays a very ordinary face, there is no delicacy to be seen, but a look that can be perfectly integrated with it when thrown into the crowd.

"Anyway, where did you find Xiao Jiu?"

Liuli's body straightened slightly. "The subordinates were ordered to investigate the Anrui Palace, and when they heard that there was an occasional movement tonight, they thought about it, and went in to take a look, but they might as well have inadvertently discovered Xiao Jiu."

"In other words, you didn't listen to the order and entered the Anrui Palace?"

Yun Zhen's face fell silent, half of her cheeks were hidden in the night, and others couldn't tell what her expression was.

Liuli was silent, thinking that she didn't feel that she was at fault, after all, if she hadn't left her post without permission, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hit Xiao Jiu tonight.

If something goes wrong with Xiao Jiu, how will she be right about him in the future?

Although Liuli didn't say it explicitly, she was all over her body to express her resistance, Yun Zhen's eyes deepened, but in the end she didn't say anything.

The confrontation between the two was so obvious that Qi Shenghua let go of his hand, slowly straightened up, turned to open the window, and glanced at Liuli meaningfully.

Liuli and Qi Shenghua glanced at each other, lowered their eyes and continued in a low voice. "When the subordinates found out about Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu was already injured."

"The subordinates first left their posts without permission, and then they were flustered and did not observe their back roads, adding mistakes to mistakes, and hoping that the master would punish them."

"Being able to survive today is all the work of the three princes." Yun Zhen paused, and then said. "If it's another day, you'll put yourself in danger so easily, and pick out the others first."

"Don't try to save people, but affect others."

Liuli's breath stagnated, and after a long time, she heard her speak. "Yes."

Yun Zhen pondered for a moment, and glanced at Qi Shenghua. "Although you are safe, you can't generalize in the end."

"If you are a little careless, it will be difficult to deal with you."

Even if Yun Zhen didn't say it, Qi Shenghua probably understood what Yun Zhen meant, and waved his hand. "It doesn't matter, as long as I'm on this day, others won't dare to make a mistake."

Qi Shenghua's eyes wandered around the man lying on the bed, and then smiled slightly. "It's not very difficult to delay for a while, but in the end, I have to wronged him."

"Shiso."

"Master." Zi Su was the woman who changed Yun Zhen's appearance like this, seeing Yun Zhen turn her gaze over, Zi Su smiled slightly and nodded slightly at Yun Zhen.

Zi Su was obviously prepared, holding a box in his hand, standing in front of the bed, and carefully observing Xiao Jiu's appearance.

"Are you sure?"

Hearing Qi Shenghua's question, Zi Su raised his eyes but looked in the direction of Yun Zhen, his eyes turned around on Yun Zhen's face, took out some bottles and cans from the box, and said with a bold smile. "It's not that difficult."

"It's just that I'm going to wronged the county lord."

Yun Zhen was slightly stunned, and was still very puzzled in her heart, so she only saw that under the smearing of Zisu's skillful hands, the face above her appeared on the body of Xiao Jiu.

"After all, those people know that you are the servant girl by my side." Qi Shenghua's voice seemed to have a little smile in it.

Since the first two days of the fight, the county lord of Chenghuan was frightened on the horse, and Qi Shenghua ignored her, but came to appease himself, and made the county lord of Chenghuan angry half to death at the same time.

The name of her maidservant has also spread, and now the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty know more or less that the third prince of Changchu is followed by a very favored maid.

If someone breaks in, this face lying on Qi Shenghua's bed really won't make people suspicious.

Qi Shenghua's eyes were dyed with a smile, he glanced at the sky outside, and said in a deep voice. "How long will it take him to come to his senses?"

Yun Zhen took a look at the situation, what she used for Xiao Jiu was the most precious gold sore medicine.

"Approximately, it will take three or four hours."
