Chapter 326: The Afterhand
There were only three Gao Yong in the clearing.
The only one of the three people who was still standing was Zhou An, Gao Yong was sitting on the ground, and Cao Yi was lying down, covered in blood and looking very bad.
Shangguan Li gave Tianquan a puzzled look: This is called safe and sound?
The latter nodded firmly.
For them, not dying, not missing arms and legs is not a big deal.
"County Lord, look at him."
Zhou An obviously didn't believe Cao Yi at all before, but now he is in a hurry.
Shangguan Li glanced behind him, Tianquan nodded, and turned his head to block the door. Tianquan's people have been withdrawn, but he still has the duty to protect Shangguan Li.
She walked up to Cao Yi and took a look, except that she was stabbed in the waist and the bleeding was a little serious.
"Aren't you a doctor? I won't look at it myself. ”
Zhou An's hands trembled and he didn't speak.
Shangguan Li looked at his pale face and reacted.
In this world, such a wound is basically equivalent to a death sentence. The main thing is that they do not stop the bleeding in time and have no concept of wound infection.
"The county lord doesn't have to blame him."
The thighs didn't know who had a mouth.
"This Brother Cao Yi blocked the knife to save me, Zhou An must have been frightened. How, he, is he still saved? ”
Shangguan Li was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that he would sacrifice himself to save people if he rebelled so thoroughly.
She took out a special anti-inflammatory drug from the bag around her waist, since she last took the loss of wound infection, she has not been idle in the past few days, although she can't make a special medicine like modern times, but as long as you are careful when using it, the effect is almost the same.
She helped clean the wound, applied medicine, and then pulled out a clean strip of cloth and threw it to Zhou An, who was stunned.
"Bandage the whole thing, you come."
After speaking, he temporarily handed over the sick number to him and walked to Tianquan's side by himself.
"They didn't chase after them."
Knowing what she was going to ask, Tianquan took a step forward and said.
"I guess I heard the signal too, so I retreated for the time being."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ship appeared in the field of vision of several people, medium in size, although not as big as a blackbird, but there were officers and soldiers standing on the bow of the boat, full of deterrence.
The man standing at the front quickly saw them and beckoned from afar. I shouted something, it was too far away to hear clearly.
Gao Yong didn't have the strength to reply to him, but several people present breathed a sigh of relief.
It's kind of safe.
"Then I'll go first, the county lord can remember to help me keep my identity secret. Otherwise, when you go back, you have to be skinned off by the prince. ”
Tianquan lowered his voice.
Shangguan Li gave him a blank look.
"Got it, mother-in-law. But where are you going? ”
Tianquan raised his hand and tapped on the plank in front of the hallway.
After a while, Shangguan Li heard a few rhythmic echoes coming from inside.
Tianquan smiled slightly when he heard this.
"The killers are gone, let's go from the deck."
After saying that, he got into the hallway and prepared to leave. But before he took two steps, he was grabbed by Shangguan Li's arm, and he was so strong that he almost knocked him to the ground.
"You said they all withdrew?"
Tianquan, who was about to complain, nodded subconsciously when he heard this question.
"yes."
Shangguan Li frowned.
"How long have we been here from the hallway? Even if those people heard the signal and immediately withdrew, this would have been withdrawn too quickly, right? It's still some distance from the shore, could it be that they all jumped into the water? ”
Tianquan was stunned for a moment, and he also reacted wrong.
"Unless they leave immediately after seeing us go, it will definitely be too late."
"I guess I saw this unexpected variable, so I was a little cautious, right?"
Tianquan can only think of this explanation for the time being.
Shangguan Li nodded.
"Possibly."
But she didn't let go of Tianquan's arm, but said leisurely.
"And what if they didn't plan to chase us in the first place? Tell your people to hurry up and find out what's on this ship, quick. ”
Tianquan also reacted.
"Is the county lord saying they may have tampered with the ship?"
He stood up straight, his fingers lightly clasped on the plank, which was their unique way of communicating.
Shangguan Li's voice didn't stop, and she pinched her chin.
"Knowing that I'm here, it probably won't be poison or insects. A little more straightforward......"
"Gunpowder!"
Tianquan's expression froze, and two simple syllables were quickly knocked down.
"You wait for the news first, and I'll go tell Gao Yong about it. If you're lucky, you'll lose a boat. ”
Shangguan Li patted him on the shoulder, and then came to Gao Yong and the three to tell her guess.
After Gao Yong and Zhou An listened, their faces didn't look good.
"It's better not to let the guards come over now."
Shangguan Li gave his own suggestions.
"But if they don't come, what will happen to the Lord and Cao Yi?"
Zhou An had just bandaged Cao Yi's wound and looked anxious.
didn't wait for Shangguan Li to speak, but Gao Yong said.
"The county lord is right, if this speculation is true, what if these thieves will set fire as soon as they come? Losing so many lives for a few people! ”
He spoke violently, with a majesty that others could not resist.
"Now wait for the county lord's people to find out the situation......"
"County Lord!"
Tianquan suddenly called her, and Shangguan Li turned his head to look at him and saw him nodding solemnly.
What this action meant, everyone present instantly guessed.
Shangguan Li said.
"How to deal with this side will be handed over to you first, Lord Gao, I have to go over and see the situation."
Gao Yong nodded.
"Go ahead, the county lord, we'll take care of ourselves."
Shangguan Li didn't talk nonsense, and came to Tianquan's side in a few steps.
"The gunpowder is at the bottom of the ship, and there is fire oil in those cargo rooms, and it only takes a fiery arrow to set this ship on fire, and in less than a moment, the ship will turn to ashes."
When encountering this kind of thing, Tianquan behaved quite calmly.
He gave orders to his men with a plank as he walked quickly.
"It's hard for people to go up to the place where the gunpowder is hidden, we use spiced rats to poke it out, and it will take a lot of time to get rid of it, but I think the other party may not give us this opportunity."
Shangguan Li listened calmly.
"Let your people get back, their attention is not on you, it should be easier for you to get off the boat."
Tianquan glanced at her in surprise when he heard this.
"But you're ...... the county lord."
"It's the same now when there are many people and few people."
Shangguan Li interrupted him.
"And aren't you still there? Now that you're with us, it's probably not so easy to get out. ”
Tianquan thought about it, this is the truth.
He hesitated, but gave the order to retreat.
