Chapter 72: Encounter with robbers

Xu Jiao watched Zhao Yin rush into the battle circle, turned over and dismounted, and rushed all the way to Xu Wenyang's side, and her heart suddenly let go.

Over there, as soon as Zhao Yingang approached Xu Wenyang, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Wenyang said: "The one who grabbed the medicine, we just came back and ran into it, and we have been fighting for more than half an hour." ”

"Whose people?"

"It seems that they came down from Guangwu Mountain, but they didn't report to their homes, and they came up and said they wanted this batch of medicinal materials."

Zhao Yin nodded: "It should be the bandits on the mountain, it seems that there are people on the mountain who have the epidemic, and now there is a shortage of medicinal materials in Wuyuan, and they can't buy it if they have money, so they will naturally think of coming over and robbing it." ”

"This medicine is to save the lives of the people in the city, and they cannot be robbed of it." Xu Wenyang stood in front of the medicine cart and said firmly.

Zhao Yin nodded: "After a while, this king and Zhang Yue will drag them, and you take two small soldiers to hurry up with the medicine cart." ”

Xu Wenyang hurriedly pulled Zhao Yin, who rushed forward: "Lord Wang, no." ”

Zhao Yin stopped and looked back at him: "What better way do you have?" ”

Xu Wenyang shook his head: "No." ”

Zhao Yin shook him off: "Then look for what I say to do!" ”

Xu Wenyang hurriedly beckoned a few soldiers to give orders for a while, and hurriedly drove away while Zhao Yin and Zhang Yue joined forces to open the gap.

Xu Jiao hugged the trunk of the tree and looked frightened, suddenly felt panicked on her waist, reached out and touched the belt, it was a thin bamboo tube, and she was strange in her heart, and suddenly remembered that in Guangwu Mountain before, Zhao Yin had lit such a bamboo tube to release a signal.

Hurriedly opened the bamboo tube and took a look, and sure enough, there was a lead exposed.

But...... Xu Jiao was embarrassed, she didn't have a fire fold, how to release the signal?

Xu Jiao, who was worried, saw that the herbal medicine cart that rushed out was getting closer and closer to her, and she was almost under the tree where she was hiding, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she jumped into the car.

Fortunately, there were enough herbs in the car, and she was not damaged in the slightest.

The little soldier driving the car heard a strange noise, turned around and met Xu Jiao with a pair of big eyes, and instantly shouted: "Who are you?" ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at it one after another.

Xu Wenyang escorted the car at the end, and naturally saw Xu Jiao jumping from the tree to the car, but the speed was too fast, and he hadn't seen the person clearly.

At this time, he looked at it, and suddenly became angry, and stepped forward to pull Xu Jiao up and cover his face and roared: "Why did you run out!" I don't know the danger! ”

Xu Jiao hurriedly took out a signal tube and handed it to him: "Hurry up, give me a fire fold." ”

Xu Wenyang saw that there was a small mark belonging to the Nine Kings on the bamboo tube, and he hurriedly took out a fire fold and blew it: "The prince came with you?" ”

Xu Jiao put the lead on the fire fold and lit it, only said "um", and the signal flew to the sky with a "boom".

As soon as the Nine Kings saw that the signal had been released, they said loudly: "Brothers, hold on for a while, the people brought by this king are at the gate of the city, and they will come soon when they see the signal." ”

As soon as the other party heard this, the leader looked at him, and everyone fought and retreated, and quickly threw off Zhao Yin and the others and ran into the mountains.

Speaking of Xu Jiao's side, she escorted the car with Xu Wenyang's side, however, as soon as she left the foot of Huagai Mountain, a group of masked people rushed out in front of her, all holding steel knives, looking fierce and vicious.

Xu Jiao stepped back: "Why don't these bandits give up, they don't give up!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Jiao felt a cold light flash in front of her, and a steel knife slashed towards her.

She flashed to the side, straightened up and kicked the man, and she kicked him in the wrist, and the steel knife fell to the ground.

Xu Jiao picked up the other party's steel knife and slashed it: "Let you cut me!" Let you cut me! ”

Xu Jiao was angry, and her skills were not bad, but she cut it like this, and she forced the other party to retreat again and again.

After slashing four or five times, Xu Jiao saw that she didn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes, threw the steel knife, and rushed over directly to fight in close combat.

Hand-to-hand combat is Xu Jiao's strength, after all, this is what his father taught.

After a few rounds, Xu Jiao twisted the opponent's arm back, and stepped on it with her foot with her face on the ground: "Say!" Who sent you? How did you get the news? ”

The man called out: "I said, I said, it was Lord Liu, Lord Liu sent us, the girl tapped lightly, it was Lord Liu who asked us to bring back a doctor in the city who can cure the epidemic." ”

"Liu Han? Where did he go? What's the matter with you guys grabbing medicine? Xu Jiao asked.

The man said, "We didn't, didn't take the medicine?" We only started when we saw Dr. Liu. ”

"Doctor Liu? Where is it? ”

The man was restrained by him, and gestured with his eyes, "Isn't it over there?" Although he wore the clothes of a small soldier, Dr. Liu had been in the city for many years, and we all knew him. ”

Xu Jiao noticed that Dr. Liu was also in the queue to deliver the medicine.

Xu Wenyang said: "I am afraid that they will be deceived if they don't understand medicine, so I asked Dr. Liu to pretend to be with him." ”

Xu Jiao lifted the man up, and saw that the people on the other side were almost restrained, and were a little puzzled: "Why are these people so bad?" ”

Zhao Yin just arrived and said: "They are not a wave, although those before are not sure that they are bandits sent by Guangwu Mountain, they are by no means good stubble, these straw bales should not be lying, they are Liu Hanyang's family soldiers." ”

Xu Jiao threw away the "straw bag" in her hand: "What about Liu Han?" ”

"Lord Liu? No, not here. ”

Xu Jiao's temper kicked over: "I know he's not here, so where is he?" ”

The "straw bag" said with a bitter face: "No, I don't know, Lord Liu didn't take us with him when he left, it was the housekeeper of Liu's Mansion who was contacting us." ”

"Forget it, hurry back to the city, the people are still waiting for medicine." Zhao Yin said.

Xu Wenyang asked people to tie up this group of "straw bales" and bring them back to the city to make plans.

Xu Jiao climbed back onto the cart that bundled the medicine and prepared to leave.

Just as she was sitting down, she inadvertently looked into the distance, and at this glance, she saw a row of bodies leaning out from behind the col in the distance, and they were stretching their bows and arrows in the direction of their side.

Xu Jiao hurriedly jumped out of the car and shouted: "Hide quickly, there is danger!" ”

However, as the saying goes: it's easy to dodge an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a dark arrow! The opponent's arrow was fast and accurate, and when it flew from the air, the soldiers on horseback had no time to dodge, and were quickly shot to the ground.

At this time, Zhao Yin was riding on horseback with his back to the back, and being dressed in white was also an obvious target.

Zhao Yin had the honor of dodging two or three cold arrows, however, the fourth, fifth, and sixth ...... It's still shooting back.

Zhao Yin turned over vigorously and hid on the side of the horse.

However, the horse was startled by the sudden rush of arrows, and jumped to his feet, kicking his hooves wildly, making it difficult for him to hide.

The rain of arrows fell densely from the sky, and Xu Jiao was stuffed under the board car by Xu Wenyang and did not dare to move. She saw Zhao Yin being kicked to the ground by the frightened horse, and couldn't stay any longer, so she climbed out from under the cart and ran over to pull him.

When Zhao Yin was kicked over, he had already skillfully dissolved the force of the fall, but the hip bone kicked by the horse's hooves was in unbearable pain, and he was sluggish for a while.

The arrows rained down, and everyone scattered to dodge, but Xu Jiao crawled towards Zhao Yin on the ground.

Zhao Yin turned his head and saw her crawling towards him, and his heart was quite shocked, if he brought his relatives with him today, whether it was Zhao An or Liu Yu, he would definitely protect himself like this. But the child in front of him, who looks delicate and weak, and whose body is not half as long as himself, will actually protect himself by name!

Zhao Yin suddenly felt a little ironic, but he was deeply touched.

Seeing a sharp arrow falling straight down on her, he struggled to turn over and rush towards her: "Who let you out?" ”

However, at this time, Xu Jiao's back was like having eyes, and she suddenly got up and rushed towards him.

Zhao Yin's hanging heart just fell, but he didn't feel right, in order to dodge the arrow, he pounced on his shoulder, and the villain took a breath and didn't move!

Xu Wenyang's exclamation came from over there: "Jiaojiao! ”

Then, he saw Xu Wenyang rushing over to this side regardless of life or death from the gap, and Zhao Yin hurriedly pushed her to the side: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xu Jiao was pushed by him, and took another breath: "It hurts!" ”

"Where does it hurt?" He asked.

Xu Jiao frowned: "On the back." ”

Zhao Yin pulled her back to his side, stretched out his head to look, and saw that a short arrow on her left shoulder was deep into the flesh and skin, leaving only a small half of the arrow feather outside. Immediately reacted, her pounce just now was not to dodge the arrow, but to block the arrow for herself!

Xu Wenyang rushed over: "You are stupid! ”

Xu Jiao struggled to squeeze out a smile: "I'm smart." ”

At this time, Zhao Yin had already recovered a little, and the two men got up to protect her in the middle and hide behind the cart.

At this moment, a group of men and horses approached in the distance, holding shields.

Zhao Yin glanced at it: "Zhao An has arrived, we are safe." ”

Xu Jiao's back hurt badly, and she complained angrily: "It's too slow!" ”

Zhao Yin: "It's not your father's fault, the north city gate was guarded too tightly by him, Zhao Anding thought that he couldn't get out of here, and he didn't know which city gate to bypass?" ”

As he spoke, he bent down and hugged her: "Don't worry, I just watched it, I didn't shoot the vital point, and I can't die." ”

When Xu Jiao heard this, she felt that this guy was too cold, and hurriedly exclaimed: "Pain, pain, pain!" It hurts to death! ”

Zhao Yin hurriedly relaxed his movements: "Okay, okay, I'll be careful." ”

Xu Wenyang leaned over and stretched out his hand to him: "Lord Wang, give it to me." ”

Zhao Yin turned around directly and turned his back to Xu Wenyang: "You take someone back to decoct the medicine, and I will take her back to the official post." As he spoke, he took Zhao An's horse, held Xu Jiao with one hand, and jumped on the back of the horse with the pull ring, Xu Jiao sat on the horse's back and leaned on his arms facing him.

After Xu Wenyang also led people into the city, the wave of cold arrows had long been driven into the old forest by the people led by Zhao An.

Zhao An felt that there was no need to continue chasing, and returned to the city with the team.

Besides, Zhao Yin, all the way non-stop, when he arrived at the official post, he hugged Xu Jiao and went upstairs in one breath, and called Huang Rong and Huang Xinglin as if he was urging.

Xu Jiao was put on the bed by him.

Huang Rong was really shocked when she first entered the house: "How did this happen, didn't you go to pick up Lord Xu?" ”

Zhao Yin instructed Dong'er to prepare water and clean clothes, and urged Huang Rong: "Treat it quickly, she is in pain!" ”

Huang Rong rolled her eyes: "It's naturally painful, it's okay, you can insert an arrow in your back and try it." ”
