Chapter 7: The Arrow
It was still nearly two months away from Xingxing, and Willow sent Jiuli to rush to Long City with a team of vanguards day and night. First, it is to secretly inquire about the news; Second, it is to rescue the Queen Mother as soon as possible when Longcheng changes.
In the bumpy carriage, Xiahou Ying covered her abdomen with a pale face, looking pitiful.
"Have you taken the medicine prescribed to you by the military doctor, why hasn't there been any improvement at all now?" Wei Luo took off Xiahou Ying's veil and asked with concern.
"Your Majesty...... The concubine's face was still covered. Xiahou Ying covered her cheeks with her veil again, glanced at me casually, and said, "I have used all the medicines for external and internal use, but the wound has been very painful." ”
"Your face is that Doctor Han moved his hands and feet during the healing, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Zhao." Vero caught the hatred in her eyes and explained.
Xiahou Ying was stunned, and then her eyes moved back and forth between me and Wei Luo. Seeing her frowning slightly, she obviously didn't quite believe Willow's words.
"When you get to Xingxing, ask a doctor with medical skills to take a closer look at you." After speaking, Willow lowered his head and spread out the book in his hand and continued to read.
Tang Huan and Mrs. Mu Hibiscus who were traveling with me knew how to use medicine, but if I didn't open my mouth, they would naturally not treat Xiahou Ying.
Day and night, I lifted the heavy curtain and looked out of the twilight window, vaguely feeling a little familiar.
Willow followed my gaze and said, "It's time to Fengcheng." ”
"Fengcheng...... By the way, I always forgot to ask, last time Xiao Ran said that all the people who captured He'er died outside Fengcheng, how did Jiuli survive? I asked Willow, a little confused.
He took my hand holding the curtain into his palm, the curtain fell, and the dim light swept over his narrow eyes, he looked sideways slightly, and then said softly, "I'll tell you later." ”
I didn't really understand what I couldn't say about this, my eyes swept over Xiahou Ying, and I instantly understood something......
At that moment, the carriage shook suddenly, and the neighing of horses was heard outside.
Willow raised his hand and pushed the car door, only to see a black and oppressive figure in front of him, and the silver steel knives reflected the red light of the setting sun, which was particularly dazzling.
The leader of the Yijun army unsheathed his sword and shouted: "Protect your lord!" ”
"Lou Jun?" I looked at Willow suspiciously. Xindao, the speed of this Mu Xian's counterattack is too fast, right?
Wei Luo closed the car door and shook his head, "No, it may be the remnant of the former Xiao Kingdom, after all, I have taken the Xiao Kingdom for too short a time, and I haven't fully controlled it." ”
Hearing Willow say this, the names of Ji Chang and Riemann Dance instantly flashed in my mind.
Now that we are under attack, it seems that we may not be safe anymore.
As the fighting outside the carriage intensified, I sat uneasy in the carriage, once again determined to stay away from these strife.
It's just that after these things are over, will Willow go with me to the end of the world?
"Don't worry, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here, and there are just some small minions in front of you." Seeing that I was tightened, Willow comforted me softly.
He held his cold hand and said, "I'm not worried, I just don't like to fight and war." ”
Willow nodded, and said no more.
Xiahou Ying's gaze stopped at the hand I was holding Wei Luo, snorted lightly, and sneered: "It's ridiculous that the killer of the dignified Ji'an Hall said that he doesn't like to see fights. ”
"Although Sister Tassel is a killer, she is kind-hearted, what's so funny about not being able to bear to watch the fight?" Ni Meng was very unconvinced.
"You cheap hoof, you dare to talk to this palace like this, sure enough, what kind of master has what kind of subordinate!" Xiahou Ying touched her long nails, raised her eyebrows, and said angrily.
Ni Meng's little face was flushed with anger, and she didn't dare to continue to talk back, so she could only look at me aggrievedly.
I touched my sleeve and saw a few silver needles coated with boiling blood.
With a wave of his hand, he threw out a silver needle and pierced it directly into Xiahou Ying's arm, only to hear a sharp wail. I frowned slightly, and chuckled: "The queen is full of confidence, presumably the injury should be almost haode, right?" ”
Mud Meng covered her mouth and giggled.
Xiahou Ying pressed her arm, her face was painful, and she looked at Wei Luo sadly: "Your Excellency, ......"
Willow shook his head helplessly, stroked my long hair dotingly, and said softly: "Don't be petty, give her the antidote." ”
I lowered my head and flipped it in my sleeve, touched it in my arms for a while, and said with an innocent face: "I didn't bring this antidote...... However, it is only a poison scattered by boiling blood, and it cannot kill people. ”
"She's injured, don't toss her anymore, if you don't have an antidote, Tang Huan should always have it, right?" Without waiting for my answer, Willow pushed the door and got out of the carriage.
An arrow feather grazed his forehead, shaved off a few long hairs, and flew backwards with a whistling eye.
I hurriedly pulled the mud away from her, but Xiahou Ying was injured and poisoned by the boiling blood, so it was difficult to move, and she was about to be shot by an arrow, so I closed my eyes and dodged in front of her.
The muffled sound of the arrow entering the flesh, the sharp pain in the heart.
Pain, pain, pain......
I must have water in my head, weishenme is going to block this arrow for her? It fucking hurts!
Tightly grasped the placket, looked down at the arrow feather that did not enter the chest, and said in his heart, even if he wanted to block it just now, he should turn his back to block it! It's so embarrassing to get an arrow in such a place......
Vero's eyes split, the white squirrel fanning the whirring wind, and she hurried closer, and her short body took me into her arms.
"I don't want to die ......"
Willow raised his hand to wipe away the tears and snot on my face, and said softly, "I won't let you die." ”
I wanted to say something more, but when I opened my mouth, I vomited a mouthful of blood.
Willow's eyes were stained with a layer of red mist, and he turned to Ni Meng and said, "Go and ask Mrs. Hibiscus to come over." ”
Mrs. Hibiscus is good at poison and medicine, and she is superb in medical skills, thinking of this, my hanging heart finally let go. Angry, he said to Vero: "I'll sleep first...... Remember when she pulled out her arrow...... Give me some anesthetics first...... I'm afraid of pain......"
Willow looked crying and laughing, but hugged my arm tightly: "Don't sleep yet, there is definitely no way to pull out the arrow here, we have to find a safe place." ”
Xiahou Ying has been stunned in place, I don't know if she was scared and lost her soul, or if she was thinking about me trying to save her.
Although I tried to keep my eyes open, I finally fell asleep groggily.
……
When I opened my eyes, I was lying on a heavily curtained shelf bed, and Willow was sitting on the edge of the bed, his bloodshot eyes looking at me tenderly.
"She's awake." Willow's face was overjoyed, and he turned his head behind him.
Then I saw Mrs. Hibiscus standing behind the curtains, and she hurried to the bedside, reached out to catch my pulse, and after a moment said to Vero, "I know that she is afraid of pain, so she uses more anesthetics, and now that she is awake, she is fine." ”
Wei Luo breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at me with a smile, and said, "If you are afraid of pain, why do you want to block this arrow for Xiahou Ying?" ”
I rolled my eyes at him and pouted, "Don't mention it, I knew it hurts so much, I wouldn't have stopped it!" ”
