Chapter 26: And the Black Hand?
"What? is... It's an adult!" the surrounding soldiers were stunned and at a loss.
Zhou Hu immediately turned around and said, "Surround him!"
"Doctor Du, don't be complacent, I'll come back!" 'Doctor Du' returned to the voice of Steward Zhu.
Steward Zhu threw out a smoke ball, and a large amount of white smoke scattered.
Seeing this, Zhou Hu slapped out a palm, causing a strong air convection and blowing away the smoke.
But there has been no trace of Steward Zhu.
At this time, Du Yi said loudly, "He may be among you, pay attention to the surroundings!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier armed with a bow and arrow on the beam of the room fled outside.
"Don't try to escape!" Zhou Hu immediately followed.
And the soldiers in the courtyard also rushed out, leaving only a small team to protect Doctor Du.
The old dragon was among them, he scratched his head and said to Doctor Du in shame.
"Great. My lord, I'm sorry, are you alright?"
Doctor Du shook his head and said, "It's okay, you people are just deceived by him, and I don't blame you." ā
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Yi's legs were unsteady and he fell to the ground, and the soldiers around him immediately stepped forward to help him up.
"Old Dragon, where is the little man, call him here and fetch arrows for me. ā
There was still an arrow stuck in Dr. Du's chest, and although the blood was gone, it looked really terrifying.
The old dragon immediately ran out, and Doctor Du asked the soldier to let go of his hand and sit cross-legged on the ground.
It's really not appropriate for him to make a big move now.
After a while, the old dragon took Xiao Tian to the courtyard.
Xiao Tian was startled when he saw Doctor Du's injury, the position of the bow and arrow was not far from the heart, and he could ..... if he was not careful.
"Xiao Tian, don't panic, I sealed my acupoints and meridians, you just have to take the arrow. ā
Xiao Tian came to the back of Doctor Du, put down the medicine box, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "My lord, pulling out the arrow will cause heavy bleeding, and you can't control it if you seal the acupoint." ā
"So you have to be fast, I estimate that you only have about a minute, how did you treat such injuries in the army before?"
"With... With a red-hot blade..... Direct... Hemostasis. ā
ā....... Yes, it's brutal but it works. ā
"But adults ......"
"No, I won't last long, so come on. ā
Xiao Tian is also well aware of Dr. Du's current situation, and time is the most precious thing now.
No more procrastination.
Oda immediately took out an oil lamp and two knives from the medicine box, and burned the knives to iron red.
Xiao Tian said to the old dragon, "The adult needs your help on his chest, remember to be fast!"
"Huh? Iā" The old dragon was frightened
Before Lao Long finished speaking, Xiao Tian took out scissors and cut Doctor Du's clothes.
"I'm clumsy, you still find someone else. The old dragon was holding a red-hot knife, and he had a feeling that he didn't know where to start.
"Don't be verbose, you didn't have such a mother-in-law before. Oda said angrily.
The old dragon roared past 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart, he was slashing at the adults just now, and now he asked me to use the iron red knife to help stop the bleeding, if the adults have three long and two short, isn't he guilty of adding to sin?
The old dragon secretly scolded Xiao Tian hundreds of times in his heart.
But Oda won't take care of the old dragon's mood.
He grasped the tail of the arrow in his palm, and then pulled it out, pulling the whole arrow out completely.
The blade was directly printed on Du Yi's skin, and the old dragon moved quite quickly.
A scorching sound rang out.
Doctor Du clenched his teeth, and bean-sized droplets of sweat rolled down his cheeks and dripped on the back of his hand.
"Alright, old dragon let go!" Oda shouted.
The two of them let go of the knife at the same time, and when they separated, they took a piece of charred black human skin and attached it to the knife.
Finally, he couldn't help but scream, and then fainted in pain and fell to the ground.
"My lord!?" the old dragon was shocked, threw down the knife, and helped Doctor Du up.
"I'm fine. A faint voice came from Doctor Du's mouth.
Xiao Tian examined Doctor Du's wound and said, "My lord, the bleeding has stopped, but there is still a lot of bruise in the body, and the wound has not healed, so you still need to recuperate." ā
"That's right, wait for Xiao Tian to help get some medicine and come back. ā
Doctor Du took a deep breath and seemed to be a little more energetic.
"I can't let my parents know about this, lest they worry and say that I have a cold, you know?"
"Yes, I'll keep the soldiers shut. The old dragon answered.
Doctor Du nodded, turned around and went back to the room.
The wound on his chest ached, and Dr. Du soon fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Du Yi was in a daze and heard someone calling him.
"My lord, my lord, get up and take my medicine. ā
It's Oda.
Du Yi got up, and the tingling pain in his chest made him take a breath of cold air.
"Don't worry, sir. Xiao Tian picked up Doctor Du, brought the medicine bowl, and brought it to Doctor Du's mouth.
The bitter taste swirled in Dr. Du's mouth, and Dr. Du held back his nausea and drank it all in a few spurts.
When Xiao Tian put the bowl down, Doctor Du found that Zhou Hu was sitting on one side of the room.
"My lord, let him slip away. Zhou Hu was a little embarrassed, he was not effective in protecting the master, and he let the criminals escape.
It's a shame.
Doctor Du frowned, he didn't expect that as soon as he woke up, Zhou Hu would bring him such bad news.
"Steward Zhu's ability to change his appearance is very powerful, if he disguises himself as our acquaintance and waits for the opportunity to move, the threat is too great. ā
Doctor Du couldn't help but worry about his parents and sister, they had only been in Mucheng for a few days, and they were not familiar with the surroundings, which was a good target for Steward Zhu.
"Don't worry, sir, although I didn't catch him, I left my mark on him when he escaped, and I could sense him as soon as he appeared five hundred meters around me. ā
After hearing the news, Dr. Du let go of his worries a little.
At this time, Zhou Hu said again, "This person's style is very similar to the Thousand-Faced Star Monarch who made trouble in the capital three years ago, and I suspect that he is the Thousand-Faced Star Monarch." ā
"Thousand-faced Star Monarch?" Doctor Du wondered.
"Oh, my lord shouldn't know this name, this matter is a scandal in the Qin State. ā
Zhou Hu paused and continued.
"Three years ago, there was a theft in the imperial city, although it was only jewelry and some money, but it also attracted the attention of the emperor. ā
So the Praetorian Guards began to search the Imperial City, but found nothing. ā
After that, the Praetorian Guards actually began to have cases of losing weapons and armor, and every time a weapon was lost, it would appear on the main hall of the early dynasty the next day, which made the emperor lose face. ā
"Because each weapon is engraved with the traces of a five-pointed star, the nickname of the Thousand-Faced Star Monarch has spread. ā
Zhou Hu said this and stopped.
Doctor Du asked curiously, "And then?"
Zhou Hu smiled bitterly, "The thousand-faced star monarch disappeared later, and there was no news of him later, so the emperor gave up." ā
"Tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards in the palace haven't caught him?"
Zhou Hu shook his head, "I was not in the Imperial City at that time, and the specific situation was also told to me by others, and now it seems that it is because his disguise technique is too powerful." ā
Doctor Du lay on the bed and sighed.
"Hearing you say this, he should be a cautious person, if he doesn't show up himself, it will be difficult to catch him. ā
Zhou Hu shrugged helplessly and said, "Hong Python was captured by me and locked in the dungeon. ā
"He's just an outcast, it's useless. ā
"That's... My lord, what do we do next?"
ā.......... Let's wait and see what happens, just keep an eye on Wang Hai and the Yong Chamber of Commerce. ā
And in the Drunken Immortal Building, a rough-looking man came to the front desk and threw down a few pieces of broken gold.
"Come to a room and serve some food. ā
"Okay. The receptionist quickly put away the gold and led the rough man to a room on the second floor.
The man locked the doors and windows, then took off the mask on his face, revealing the appearance of Steward Zhu.
"The Drunken Immortal Building is full of people, and it's best to hide here. ā
He muttered to himself and poured a cup of tea as he spoke.
But as soon as the words fell, another person's voice came from the room.
"The Thousand-Faced Star Monarch's disguise technique is good, but it's a pity that his strength is too weak, otherwise I really don't want to kill you. ā
"Who!" Steward Zhu jumped up from his chair in fright.
Looking around the room, there was no sign of it.
"Haha, you don't have to look at it, with your strength, it's impossible to find me. ā
Steward Zhu only felt a chill behind him, and then he hit the wall in front of him and broke a few teeth.
"Who are you?" said Steward Zhu angrily.
The man was dressed in black, wrapped all over his body, only his head was exposed, his skin and bones were like a skinny appearance, and his eyes were deep in his sockets, and his scarlet eyes swirled in them.
"You don't deserve to know my name, you go to the City Lord's Mansion early tomorrow morning, lure Doctor Du out, and kill you if you don't do me." ā
"You kill me, Doctor Du has Zhou Hu by his side, and I will also fall into the net if I go. ā
"Aha, it's up to you whether you go or not. ā
The man laughed, revealing two rows of extremely sharp teeth, which looked really scary.
"If you get hit by my broken ice bone palm, you will freeze into an iceman in less than half a day, and even if I cut off your limbs and empty your stomach, you won't die, how about it?
Steward Zhu shuddered, and obviously felt that his body was trembling slightly, and his limbs were cold.
"Of course, if you help me do things, I will naturally give you an antidote, and then you go away and fly high, or continue to disguise yourself as your city lord, I won't care, I just need Doctor Du. ā
The man took out a white pill and placed it on the table.
"This pill can relieve the toxins in your body, and the effect of the medicine is one day, and it depends on how you perform tomorrow whether you are willing to die or live. ā
The man turned and turned into countless black shards and disappeared into the night through the window.
Steward Zhu got up tremblingly, and in less than a few minutes, he was already so cold that his teeth were fighting up and down.
"Doctor Du, it seems that God is helping me. ā
Steward Zhu picked up the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
The cold disappeared in an instant.
There were three knocks on the door, which startled Steward Zhu.
But outside the door came the voice of a child.
"Guest, you want a meal. ā
Steward Zhu opened the door, took the food, bowls and chopsticks, ate a few bites randomly, and fell asleep on the bed.
The night passed quickly.
