Chapter 19: Repelling the Assassins

The bright sword blade made a deep mark on the ground next to his thigh, and Ye Ziyi watched it stop next to his calf, holding his breath for a long time, and then slowly spit out.

Seeing that there was an opportunity, Ye Ziyi picked up the lampstand on the ground with shaking hands and climbed up, and slapped the assassin's head with all his might, and heard a muffled 'bang', and the assassin snorted and fell to the ground, but he didn't move.

"Boom!"

The blood-colored lampstand fell to the ground, Ye Ziyi trembled her lips, looked at the man who fell to the ground and twitched, swallowed her saliva, unconsciously took two steps back, sat on the ground with weak legs, staring at the lampstand in a daze.

One of the four assassins was missing, and the pressure on Gongzicheng and the five was much less, Yue Ren and the other two Confucian scholars tried their best to defeat one of the assassins, and the remaining two saw that the situation was not good, and they did not fight with Gongzi Cheng and Xuan, so they found an opportunity to jump into the water, and disappeared after a while.

A vicious fight ended here, except for Gongzi Cheng and Xuan, who were colored, the rest of the people were still fine except for the embarrassment.

"Ah Ye, are you okay? But what's hurting? I'll take a look!" Yue Ren rushed to Ye Ziyi's side first, pulling her up and down for a while, until he repeatedly confirmed that the blood stains on her body were stained with the assassin, and after making sure that Ye Ziyi was fine, he sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You really protect your little brother, I don't know, I think it's your own brother, I also kicked the assassin, why don't you ask me how I hurt?" The Confucian who had just been kicked by the assassin sat on the side of Yue Ren, glanced at him fiercely, and said with a sad face. "It seems that the friendship between you and me is nothing more than that, and it is not worth a single hair of this little brother!"

"Alright, don't talk about it, let's get out of this place first. In addition to Ling, Gongzicheng walked over and beckoned a few people to get up.

"I have your help today, I am grateful!" Gongzi Cheng stood still, and waved towards Yue Ren and others, his tone was very sincere.

"Childe is polite, no need to thank you. Yue Ren and the kicked Confucian priest hurriedly stood up and saluted, but Ye Ziyi, who was still sitting on the ground and had no soul, was stunned.

Glancing at the frightened Ye Ziyi, Gongzi Chengtong and the four of them nodded, and Xu Ling helped them to the place where the boat was tied on the shore.

"Well, get up, come with me. ”

Xuan staggered to Ye Ziyi, patted the top of her hair, knelt in front of her with a little difficulty, and reached out to flick her little face.

"Ahh Seeing Xuan's unhappy face anytime and anywhere, Ye Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief, she pulled the corners of her lips, it was a smile, and seeing that his hair was messy and his face was covered with sweat, she asked. "Are the Assassins caught? ”

"Two died, two escaped, some minor wounds, and there were no problems. Xuan saw that Ye Ziyi was no longer stunned, and hooked the corners of his lips shallowly. "Let's go. ”

"Good. Ye Ziyi nodded, and didn't dare to look at the assassin lying on the ground, so he got up with his head sideways, and saw that Xuan was struggling to get up, so he hurriedly supported him. "What's wrong with you, what's the injury?"

"Skin trauma, no problem. Xuan waved his hand and stood up with a bronze sword, and the Yue people saw Xuan on the side, and hurriedly helped him.

"Are you injured?Why don't you say a word??," Yue Ren looked at Xuan's bloody thighs and couldn't help frowning. "I didn't say anything about the injury, and said that you just wiped your clothes, go for a walk, go to my house, and I'll let the Chinese medicine girl at home take a good look at you. ”

"No need. Xuan was about to excuse himself, but he left with Yue Ren.

Ye Ziyi followed behind the two, nervous and scared, ran two steps to Yueren's side, took his sleeve, pursed his lips, and went to the waterfront.

The boat on the shore had already been cleaned, Gongzi Cheng and Xu Lingzheng, who arrived first, were standing on the shore with a group of Confucian scholars who had not yet made it, and several big men were scattered on the shore of the island with torches, shining directly on the shore as if it were daylight.

Being troubled by this assassin, most of these Confucian scholars were frightened, and some of them even cried softly and fell to the ground, Ye Ziyi's wine strength had not passed, and he felt annoyed to see it, and frowned. "Why don't the Confucian scholars of Daliang have the courage? I cried for this little thing, and I didn't have the backbone of a man at all!"

"What about people, weren't you soft just now?" Yue Ren shook his head, helped Xuan sit on the big stone on the side, pulled Ye Ziyi and said in a low voice. "You drank too much, say a few words, now that you have just arrived in Jiankang, don't act arrogantly, this is not as good as the mountain, be careful not to offend the villain." ”

"It's just that they don't like the eyes, good men, it's okay to protect their family and country, they don't even have the power to deal with it, it's not cool to look at!" Ye Ziyi pursed her lips, and was glared at by Yue Ren, so she had to shut up, turned around and sat next to Xuan, looking at the literati who were still crying and pouting.

Smelling the smell of blood in the air, Ye Ziyi couldn't help but lower her head to look at the wound on Xuan's leg, looking at the blood-soaked trouser leg, her heart couldn't help but tighten, and she hurriedly took out a cloth towel from her sleeve pocket and barely tied it on Xuan's leg.

"There is no doctor here, is the wound deep? I see that it is still bleeding, should you tie it tighter?" Ye Ziyi glanced at Xuan, and saw that his complexion was fine, so he was a little relieved.

"It's okay for me, Childe became a sword for me, and the injury was more serious. Xuan looked at the son who was standing in the distance. "This man, if it weren't for bad luck......"

Xuan didn't say any more, Ye Ziyi looked at his eyes, and saw that among the Confucian scholars with sad faces, Gongzicheng, who was dressed in dark clothes, had an indifferent and arrogant face, standing straight, if it weren't for the fact that his lips were too pale and his face was too pale, he really couldn't see that he was injured.

This person is really strange, he is obviously such a ruthless person, but he looks like a decent gentleman and a hero in front of people, but unfortunately he can't expose his mask, and he should let the world know about the dirty things he did secretly.

"Ziyi, you were cowardly just now, it's really redundant, if you want to take refuge, there is nothing wrong with serving this person as the master. Xuan patted Ye Ziyi's shoulder and said with a smile. "This time, you can be regarded as saving Gongzi Cheng once, and there is still a chance. ”

"Come on, I'm not rare, hey, how did you know my brother? Ye Ziyi didn't want to continue the topic of who to go to, so she pulled La Xuan's sleeve and asked with interest.

"I am an old acquaintance with the Yue people, and a few years ago, I begged him to introduce me to Qu Gong. Xuan smiled, very fascinated. "Qu Gong is knowledgeable and insightful, and he is really a rare sage. ”

Ye Ziyi blinked widely, very curious. "You've seen my brother's master, why didn't you worship him as a teacher?"

"I missed the opportunity back then, and I regretted it for a long time, presumably because I didn't have a master-apprentice relationship, and I haven't seen each other again. Xuan sighed abruptly, looking up at the starry night, his expression seemed to not only have no success in apprenticeship, but also something that made him melancholy.
