Chapter 6: The Assassination of the Bamboo Forest (1)
A trace of surprise crossed Yin Jiuyue's eyes, she thought that these assassins sent by Xiao Yu would accidentally injure other female relatives in the chaos, but she didn't expect that she would be found by them when she walked here. It seems that Xiao Yu has really put a lot of effort into making her die.
She stood coldly, her eyes quickly scanning around, roughly judging the number of stabbing guests nearby. "Bamboo branches, Xiangqiao, you take the others to run over there first, quick!" Yin Jiuyue ordered the frightened maid beside her.
Zhuzhi was so frightened that his body trembled, but his mouth was still loyal: "The slave and maid don't leave!" Slaves and maids must stay with the county lord!" Xiangqiao on the side also responded again and again, and there was a feeling that he was going to die with the assassin.
When Yin Jiuyue heard this, a warmth surged in her heart, but the expression on her face was still extremely cold, "What are you doing staying here?" Escort Yin can protect me, you will only get in the way here, don't leave quickly!"
When the maids heard this, they hesitantly turned around and ran in one direction, and the bamboo branches were left the latest, but in the end they were ruthlessly driven away by Yin Jiuyue.
The Assassins' goal was only to kill the eldest lady of Prince Yin's Mansion and the people who prevented them from carrying out the assassination, and they did not care about those who fled, allowing them to slip under their noses.
The assassin at the head covered his face with a black veil, revealing two eyes with a chill, and said, "County Lord, you really make it easy for us to find." Someone has paid a lot of money for your life, don't come to us when you get to the Netherworld. As he spoke, he laughed twice, pulled out the long sword that was dangling at his waist, and stabbed straight at the sword. Then, all the men in black were dispatched, their bodies were ghostly, and the black shadows were chaotic, and Yin Mingtai held a sword in one hand to protect her firmly behind her. This scene gradually coincided with the time when she was in prison in her previous life, and Yin Mingtai also protected her like this, so that she would not be harmed.
Thinking like this, Yin Jiuyue picked up a long sword that fell at her feet, shook off the mottled blood stains on it, she and Yin Mingtai back to back, hooked the corners of her lips, recalled the swordsmanship that her father had taught her, and quickly grabbed the loophole of one of them, and stabbed out with a sword, just sealing her throat.
Yin Mingtai looked at her in surprise, and the girl also happened to look at him, their eyes facing each other, and their minds seemed to be together at this moment.
The two worked together seamlessly, and after the tea, only the man who led the original large number of assassins remained. The man was covered in sword wounds from Yin Mingtai's slash, and he had no strength to resist. Yin Jiuyue put the sword across the man's neck, and his tone was like three feet of ice, "Who are you?" Who sent you?"
Although she had long known that this was Xiao Yu's conspiracy, and she had long known that she was now in a swamp and in danger, Yin Mingtai had obviously not noticed the emperor's intentions.
She wanted to take this opportunity to make Yin Mingtai wary and suspicious.
At this moment, the man in black suddenly waved his hand, and a poisonous dart attacked Yin Jiuyue, so fast that she didn't have time to dodge.
said that it was too late, and Yin Mingtai on one side surrounded her body, only to hear a "poof" sound, and the dart was driven into his back. Yin Mingtai snorted, turned around, and slashed off the man's right arm with a sword.
The man didn't feel pain, he looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and then said madly: "He can't live, he will be broken by our intestines, and he will definitely die in less than three days!"
"There is no cure for this poison."
"Hahahaha......"
The laughter was interrupted suddenly, and the man's only remaining hand covered the cut throat, and blood foamed from his mouth continuously, until he died, the man's eyes were wide open, as if he was unwilling to die, and as if he was frightened.
"Mingtai! Mingtai!" Yin Jiuyue helped the man sit down, anxious. The pain and remorse of the man's death in her previous life resurfaced, and her heart was full of fear and fear.
Yin Mingtai's face gradually turned pale, and he gritted his teeth to let Yin Jiuyue pull out the dart that was deep in the flesh and blood on his back. The blood from the wound turned dark red, even black.
Yin Jiuyue's heart froze, and the calmness on her face was also broken.
And at this moment, the maids who should have left all turned back.
When Zhuzhi saw Yin Mingtai, who was pale, and Yin Jiuyue, who was full of panic, she was relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward, and when she saw the blackened wound on Yin Mingtai's back, she couldn't help but gasp.
"Don't worry, county lord, we will send the Yin escort down the mountain immediately! It's just a small injury, Yin Escort will be fine with such a strong martial arts!" Zhu Zhi instructed the two strong little guys, firmly set up Yin Mingtai's body, and hurried down the mountain.
The mountain rain gradually stopped, and Yin Jiuyue slowly regained her composure, she pursed her lips, her pretty face was as cold as frost, and she could no longer see a trace of smile.
Until they reached the bottom of the mountain, the bottom of the mountain was also in chaos. A disheveled lady held a bloodied and silent girl in her arms, her face was very bad, her eyes were red, and she was supported by several other ladies so that she would not faint to the ground. Yin Jiuyue faintly heard a few ladies whispering and discussing.
"Alas, it's pitiful, where did this good assassin come from?"
"A good girl's home is gone."
Yin Jiuyue's heart turned, and she roughly guessed that the assassin had mistakenly taken this innocent girl for her assassination, and later found that her appearance did not match, so she left the mountains to find her traces. Xiao Yu failed to assassinate her but caused another life, she is still a young lady from a big family in Beijing, this matter is full of holes, it is impossible to hide it for a long time, the emperor can know that this time she will have to shed her skin if she does not die!
Walking in front of her sedan chair, she noticed that the sedan chair of Empress Xiao Xiang and several concubines had already left, saying that she was frightened and fainted.
Yin Jiuyue got on the sedan chair and let Yin Mingtai gently lean against the sedan wall, while carefully wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, while urging the sedan chair man to go quickly.
As soon as she returned to the imperial city, she instructed her servants to let them go to the imperial doctor. After arriving at the Showa Palace, Xia He, who was guarding the palace, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and at this moment, the imperial doctor also hurried over.
Yin Mingtai was lying on the bed, the wound on his back was already black and purple, and black blood flowed out at the slightest touch. The imperial physician carefully checked the pulse, made a cut under the wound, and put a lot of blood. The poisoned blood carried a fishy smell, and Yin Jiuyue's face turned pale when she sniffed it. Seeing this, the imperial doctor hurriedly persuaded her to leave and go back to her room to rest, but she shook her head and stared at the unconscious Yin Mingtai tightly, with a pair of eyes full of determination.
However, Yin Mingtai's injuries did not improve, and the imperial doctor couldn't help but sweat coldly as he watched Yin Jiuyue's face get colder and colder.
