Chapter 1322: Assassinated and Escaped
The arrow came hard and accurately, shooting directly at Zanxiruo's head, but Zanxiruo happened to bend down slightly, and the fatal arrow grazed his scalp.
Zan Xiruo was suddenly frightened, and his first reaction was to pull his entourage over and block him in front of him.
One arrow missed, and there was a second.
The second arrow soon followed, still aimed at Zansilor, and this one came from outside the door and went straight to Zansilor's chest.
Fortunately, Zan Xiruo reacted quickly, and immediately pulled the entourage in front of him, and the retinue was hit by an arrow with a muffled snort.
"There are assassins!" Zan Xiruo yelled.
After yelling, Zan Xiruo turned around and ran upstairs.
As soon as he ran two steps, Zan Xiruo stopped, and he suddenly remembered that there was a Li Jungong beside him, this county prince was a very important minister of the Tang Dynasty, if he had an accident today, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo would not be certain.
So Zan Xiruo gritted his teeth, turned around and returned to Li Qinzai's side, grabbed his arm, and the two ran upstairs together.
Li Qinzai was obviously drunk, his body was swaying, his mind was a little unconscious, he was holding his arms by Zanxiruo, but his whole body was soft, and Zanxiruo had made a lot of effort, but it seemed to be carrying a pile of mud.
From the first arrow being fired, to the second arrow hitting Zan's entourage, and then to Zanxiruo's escape upstairs with Li Qinzai on his back, it's a long story, but what happened was only between lightning and flint.
It wasn't until Zan Xiruo's entourage fell from the arrow that the guests and girls of the Qinglou noticed it, and suddenly a burst of screams broke out, and people fled in all directions with their heads in their hands.
At this time, the Li family's subordinates, who had been guarding the door, also heard the movement, and Feng Su led the subordinates to rush into the Qinglou.
Zan Xiruo was carrying Li Qinzai at this time, and ran upstairs with difficulty.
Li Qinzai was so drunk that the whole person seemed to be unconscious, and he was at the mercy of Zanxiruo.
Zanziruo gritted his teeth and used all the strength of his life to flee and look back in panic, trying to find the Assassin's trace.
At this time, the third arrow finally came as promised.
How many assassins there were, Zan Xiruo didn't know, but it was certain that somewhere outside the Qinglou lurked the opponent's archer, and it was a marksman.
The third arrow was also very clever, it was shot through the gap in the window lattice of the green building, and this arrow still went straight to the vital point of Zanxiruo's body.
Zanziruo may also have a bit of a kung fu himself, he has been waiting for the Assassin's third arrow, and he knows how to protect himself.
While dragging Li Qinzai to escape for his life, he also used the railings, tables and chairs around him as cover, and kept shaking his body, so that the opponent's marksman could not determine the target.
So, although the Assassin's third arrow went straight to his neck, it hit the wooden railing leading from the Qinglou to the pavilion on the second floor.
The arrow missed again.
If you can be sure now, the person the other party wants to kill is himself.
The target of the three arrows in a row is him, so the key now is to save his life and save his own life.
The Li Jungong beside him, who couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed, didn't seem to be in danger, Zan Xiruo hesitated for a moment, and suddenly made a decision.
He is not familiar with Li Qinzai, he is not even a friend, and he almost quarreled just now, but at this moment, when his life is at stake, he is on Datang's own territory, and he seems to have no obligation to continue to protect him.
So Zan Xiruo made a quick decision, immediately threw down Li Qinzai, and fled upstairs alone.
He ran a few steps, but suddenly heard a whooshing sound, and he subconsciously squatted down when his scalp was numb, but he didn't feel any pain on his body, but heard Li Qinzai, who collapsed at the top of the stairs, let out a terrible scream.
Zan Xiruo's heart was shocked, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Finished! As soon as he left Li Jungong, he was hit by an arrow. This is serious, and I am afraid that I will not be able to escape accountability.
At this time, there was chaos downstairs, people scrambled to flee the door, and the Li family and the retinue brought by Zanxiruo were also trying to rush into the green building.
However, there were too many people who escaped, like a torrent, and the Li family and the Tubo entourage who were rushing into the Qinglou were struggling against the current under the impact of the torrent.
In the crowd fleeing for their lives, a figure suddenly shot up, covered with a black scarf, pulled out the dagger in his arms, and rushed towards the stairs.
At the moment when Zanxiruo fled for his life, when he looked back in a panic, he happened to see the figure, and saw him with a black scarf masked, holding a dagger in his hand and rushing towards the stairs.
I didn't have time to think about what happened to Li Jungong, who had just been hit by an arrow at the staircase, and if he knew that no one could take care of anyone at this moment, he would save his life first.
The last image Zan Xiruo saw was the assassin raising the dagger in his hand and stabbing it towards Li Qinzai.
Zanxiruo couldn't care about the next thing, turned around and rushed upstairs, opened a pavilion casually, there was a window in the pavilion, Zanxiruo opened the window and turned over, grabbed the window frame with both hands, and looked downstairs in the night.
The floor is not high, but if you jump down, you will be injured somewhat, Zan Xiruo turned his head to look behind him, listening to the footsteps of the assassin going upstairs, and then looked at the people downstairs who had just escaped from the green building, as well as the many troops and followers who rushed towards the building.
Gritting his teeth, he jumped down from the upstairs.
With his feet on the ground, Zan Xiruo only felt the pain in his ankles and knees, and subconsciously looked at the window lattice upstairs, and found that a figure flashed on the window lattice, as if he was thinking about whether to jump down and continue the pursuit.
Zansiruo immediately screamed: "I'm here, Zanxiruo is here, protect me!" ”
The Tubo entourage who was rushing downstairs heard his voice and immediately turned around and rushed towards him.
The assassin at the upstairs window saw that someone was protecting Zanxiruo, and knew that the general situation was gone, so his figure flashed, and the window was no longer visible.
Zanxiruo was surrounded by his entourage, looked around with a pale face, didn't care about the injuries of his legs and feet, and said in a trembling voice: "Quick, go and protect Li Jungong!" ”
The last picture that came into view just now was the assassin holding a dagger and stabbing at Li Qinzai, and he didn't know whether Li Jungong was alive or dead at this moment.
If something happens to Li Qinzai, the consequences will be serious, not just a personal matter, it will definitely rise to the level of the two countries of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
At this time, the people in the Qinglou had almost fled, and the Li family had successfully rushed in.
Zanxiruo endured the pain in his legs and feet, and did not dare to ask about Li Qinzai's life and death, hearing that the team surnamed Feng in the Qinglou was roaring, and urging the tribe to go to the doctor immediately to save his life, Zanxiruo's heart trembled, and the painful legs and feet became more and more paralyzed.
"Go, go and ask...... What happened to Li Jungong. Zan Xiruo said in a trembling voice.
A Tubo entourage immediately ran into the Qinglou, and not long after, the entourage hurriedly returned, but there was a five-finger print on his face, obviously he had just been slapped by the Li family.
The entourage said aggrievedly: "Minister, the assassin has fled, Li Jungong was stabbed, he was hit by an arrow in the leg, he was stabbed in the abdomen, and the staircase was covered with blood...... blamed the prime minister for leaving Li Jungong to run for his life alone and slapped the villain. ”
