The mountain forest is not quiet on a summer night, and all kinds of insects and birds are chirping.

Even if you are accustomed to this noise, there will be occasional sudden and harsh screams that disturb your sleep.

The venue for the meal was given to Zhu Liqing and a few of them, but because of the cloudless sky, they didn't even ask for a tent, just three mosquito nets and three mats.

Zhou Bei and they were more prepared, the two slept in the carriage, he slept in the car, and there was a small fan to blow the air.

Because he will witness another life in his dreams, he has always had good sleep quality.

In the dream, Qiu Liang attended a wedding on this day, and he drove a luxury car to help a friend marry.

The wedding in that world was very crude compared to the Ming Dynasty, and after cultural castration, many traditions have disappeared.

And it has also been influenced by the Western world, nondescript.

Unlike the world in which he lives, Daming is the most developed country, and the remaining forty-two small countries are all learning from Daming.

But for Zhou Bei, that kind of wedding is new.

The master of ceremonies was flirting with the newlyweds, and Zhou Bei was awakened by a piercing gunshot.

His consciousness was withdrawn from the dream, returned to reality, and felt Xu Gongcheng's push. "In Heng, there is an accident."

Zhou Bei came to his senses and saw Xu Gongcheng holding a gun in his hand and looking around.

The moonlight is like water, and the surrounding mountains and forests are full of shadows, but the shadows of activity can still be seen in the distance.

At this time, another gunshot rang out, and Zhou Bei immediately began to put on his shoes. "Take care to protect yourself."

After two gunshots, all three people who woke up heard screams. Someone else is calling him: "Zhou Zaiheng......"

Xu Gongcheng, who was looking outside the car, turned around and said, "It's Zhu Liqing and their ......."

Zhou Bei put on his shoes, picked up the rifle leaning against him, checked the seven-round magazine, and reloaded it. "I hear you."

On the other side of the car, Hou Guiqiang said: "There were only two gunshots, not like an attack, but not like an accident." If it's an attack......"

A heavy burst of gunfire interrupted his words, and the two quickly found cover and guarded each side.

Zhou Bei also got out of the car at once and squatted beside the car, and the lush weeds on both sides gave them the best protection.

At this time, I heard Qian Kun's voice again. "Zhou Zaiheng, come and help ......"

Along with his shouts, two more gunshots rang out.

Zhou Bei didn't think much about it, and crawled towards the open space where he was eating. "You two guard both sides, don't let people copy the back road, leave the front to me."

He looked down on Zhu Liqing no matter how much he looked down on, the other party was also a prince and sister-in-law, and if there was an accident, he couldn't get out of it.

It only took more than ten seconds to come to the open space for dinner at night, and I could see three mattresses still spread on the ground, and the sheets were messy, but there was no one in sight.

When I looked closely, I found that the three of them were crawling in the gutter. "Has anyone been hurt?"

Qian Kun's voice came. "The third master was shot."

At this moment, another gunshot was heard in the woods, but the point of the bullet was not felt.

Zhou Bei was slightly surprised and looked into the forest.

Then, he felt a heavy shock in his left arm, and his body tilted, barely standing.

Raising his eyes, Qian Kun raised his gun and aimed it at him, and shouted: "You dare to attack the third master!" ”

I haven't felt pain in my left shoulder yet, I'm just unconscious. Zhou Bei looked at Zhu Liqing who was lying in the ravine, then looked at the angry Qian Kun, and the vigilant guard Yuan Sheng, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He had realized that he had fallen into a trap, and he thought that the other party might attack him, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually attack him.

Xu Gongcheng's voice came from behind. "What's the situation!"

The pain in his left shoulder began, and Zhou Bei shouted, "Don't come here, don't shoot." ”

Yuan Sheng ran in front of Zhou Bei, snatched the rifle from his hand vigorously, and threw a depleted rifle in front of Zhou Bei.

He didn't dare to look at Zhou Bei, so he hid behind Qian Kun and helped Zhu Liqing bandage his wounds.

Although he couldn't see clearly, he could see the black shadow on his chest, which should be bloodstained and soaked his clothes.

Zhou Bei stared at Qian Kun for a moment, and then looked at Zhu Liqing. "Is it worth it?"

Zhu Liqing didn't reply, and seemed to have passed out.

Qian Kun didn't pay attention to Zhou Bei, but shouted loudly: "Hurry up and call the doctor over there in the camp......

The pain in his left shoulder made Zhou Beiqiang endure the pain, turned around and shouted: "Success, Guiqiang, don't be guarded." Go and call someone, the third prince and I are both injured. ”

Xu Gongcheng was still a little confused about the situation and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Zhou Bei smiled bitterly: "I implicated the two of you." ”

Hou Guiqiang has always been engaged in gray occupations, and he has seen dark things more thoroughly, and when he came to a few people, he understood most of them.

He forced himself not to shoot at the other man and sighed. "It's a big deal this time."

After all, Zhu Liqing is a clan, they have no real power, but their social status is too high.

If you kill each other, the three people on your own side will definitely not survive.

The Ming Dynasty occupies almost the whole world, and the rest of the countries are also trying to survive under the wings of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no good end to fleeing anywhere.

Now that the other party is attacking himself and blaming himself, it shows that he must ask for something, and there is still room for negotiation.

Qian Kun's muzzle shifted from Zhou Bei to Hou Guiqiang, and sighed: "Don't blame us, we don't have a choice." ”

Zhou Bei twitched in pain. "It's worth ...... Is it? ”

Qian Kun was silent for a long time before replying: "As long as the third master does not die, it is worth it to be the son of the world." ”

Xu Gongcheng was stunned for a long time, and it seemed that he hadn't figured it out yet.

Qian Kun didn't instruct him, but said to Yuan Sheng, who was bandaging Zhu Liqing: "How is the third master?" ”

Yuan Sheng said: "I avoided the internal organs, and I can't die for the time being." ”

"You go and call someone, and it's enough for me here."

Zhou Bei was a little dizzy, and the pain in his left shoulder also made him unable to concentrate, so he simply sat on the ground. "Guiqiang, I was shot in the left shoulder, help me stop the bleeding."

Qian Kun's muzzle was pointed at Hou Guiqiang, and he said to Zhou Bei: "I won't let you die, but you pick up the gun first and leave your fingerprints." ”

Xu Gongcheng shouted after realizing it: "You are actually yin! ”

Qian Kun's gun was aimed at him and said, "Don't get excited, I don't want to kill anyone, don't force me to kill." ”

Zhou Bei smiled bitterly and said: "We are not damaged at all, so we can prove that it is the sneak attack, otherwise how can there be a reason that the sneak attack has heavy casualties, but only one person was injured when it was attacked." ”

Qian Kun nodded and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the fear that the situation would be uncontrollable, even you and I wouldn't want to be hurt." ”

Zhou Bei picked up the empty gun, pinched it in his hand a few times, and then threw it away. "Okay, right?"

Under the moonlight, Qian Kun nodded. "Hou Zhuangshi, bandage the little brother in Zaiheng, we have prepared wound medicine and gauze."

Yuan Sheng handed over a roll of gauze, as well as a pack of gold sore medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs, and he didn't dare to look at a few people, so he ran quickly to the parking spot.

Hou Guiqiang took the medicine, and Xu Gongcheng lit a torch for illumination.

At this time, the wound on the shoulder began to ache sharply, and Hou Guiqiang checked the wound and said: "The bullet is still in the body, and the left shoulder bone is a little cracked, so the problem is not big." Is it to stop the bleeding first, or to dig out the bullets? ”

"Let's stop the bleeding first, the doctor will come in a while, there is equipment, and there will be no infection." Zhou Bei took a deep breath and said with some guilt: "I'm sorry for implicating you." ”

Hou Guiqiang glanced at Qian Kun with a wry smile and sighed: "The matter has come out, just remember to compensate me." ”

"Rest assured...... Damn, tap ......"

At this time, Zhu Li came to his senses, and under the light of the torches, he was confused for more than ten seconds before his eyes were focused. "Cold ......"

Qian Kun didn't care about Zhou Bei and the others, so he directly dropped the gun, pulled a sheet on the mat, and covered Zhu Liqing's body.

"Third master, hold on, Yuan Sheng has already called a doctor."

Zhu Liqing snorted, slowly twisted his head, and then focused on Zhou Bei's face.

His expression was calm, and he was silent for a long time, and his lips trembled a few times before he spoke. "I'm sorry ......"

"Is it worth it just for these patents?"

"Not only patents, but also Youwei ......" Zhu Liqing trembled all over, and said tremblingly: "She has a purity that is rare in the clan, and such a wife is more and more valued by people like us who are deep-minded." I...... Didn't want to ...... her Let it be given to you. ”

Zhou Bei's eyes deepened, thinking of Zhu Lihua's change in attitude, and asked, "You have found a good ally, but you should have paid a great price to satisfy Niangniang's greed, right?" ”

Zhu Liqing didn't answer directly, he withdrew his gaze and lay there flat, looking up at the sky. "For me, yes...... It's worth it. ”

The two never talked again, but everyone knew very well that Zhu Liqing was gambling with his own life, and Zhou Bei would definitely not satisfy him if he didn't take off a layer of skin this time.

Zhou Bei glanced at Xu Gongcheng and Hou Guiqiang, and said, "Fang Cai's gunfire is not limited to this place, they should also have accomplices......"

Qian Kun interrupted Zhou Bei's words and said: "Except for the shot taken by the third master, the other gunshots were fired at the sky, and the bullet casings were also picked up. And the shot that the third master received was also fired from a distance of more than ten meters, and Yuan Sheng was a famous sharpshooter. ”

"Yes!" Zhou Bei laughed self-deprecatingly. "How can there be obvious loopholes in the traps that have been deliberately laid for me. What's more, no one will believe that Niang Niang has formed an alliance with you. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to get together with you in the wilderness......"

Seeing Zhu Liqing lying there half-dead, Zhou Bei said in a deep voice: "But I won't give you Youwei easily, and you can't give her happiness." ”

Zhu Liqing whispered dreamily: "I will...... Be good to her, as long as you ...... If I don't see her, she will be slowly influenced by me. ”

Zhou Bei wanted to say that he was dreaming, but he didn't have confidence.

Youwei has been protected too well since she was a child, and her personality is too weak.

Even though she has a strong love for herself, it is difficult to resist the pressure of her family.

Now that she has been framed, Zhu Lihua will definitely force Youwei to choose Zhu Liqing at the cost of her own exoneration.

And Youwei may think that she is helping herself, and choose to sacrifice herself.
