Chapter 16: A Bolt from the Clear
"By your last name, by my name."
After listening to the story, Xu Miaojin's tears fell and she repeated this sentence three times.
Women, after all, are emotional animals.
Even a strange woman like Xu Miaojin who has a bookish spirit in her belly is no exception.
The two stood side by side on the riverside, under a large willow.
The slender weeping willows fluttered in the wind, and the sunset in the west burned red for more than a day.
"Miss Miaojin, do you believe in love at first sight?"
Zhu Xiongying looked at the remnant sun.
"I..."
Xu Miaojin was silent.
"I don't know."
She has always been very resistant to men and women, especially marriage.
The main reason for this is that her second sister and third sister, although they are all married to princesses, they seem to have unlimited scenery, but in fact, their married life is extremely tormenting, which makes Xu Miaojin hate political marriage even more
And with her identity as Xu Da's daughter, if she wants to get married, it can only be a political marriage.
So she would rather be alone all her life than accept political arrangements, she does not accept that fate.
'It was love at first sight... Do I deserve it? ’
"I believe it."
"Right now."
A sudden sentence woke up Xu Miaojin violently, and subconsciously looked at Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Xiongying also turned his head to look at Xu Miaojin, and the two looked at each other.
At this moment, Xu Miaojin's heart trembled violently, and she could feel her heartbeat accelerating.
Feeling like never before...
Electricity flickered between the eyes, and even the air was a little sweeter.
One leans over, the other tiptoes.
The cheeks of the two of them are getting closer and closer, and they can even feel the heat of each other's breath.
'Success came so suddenly! ’
Zhu Xiongying was ecstatic in his heart, it would be better to save that dose of fierce medicine, after all, it was troublesome.
'No... I can't hurt him. ’
Xu Miaojin is struggling inwardly, she knows that she and the person in front of her who doesn't even have fame have no future.
However, the distance is still getting closer.
Woohoo!
At the moment when the two were about to touch their lips and teeth, the sound of breaking wind sounded.
Almost without hesitation, Zhu Xiongying hugged Xu Miaojin, flashed sideways, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows fell on the big willow tree.
How can you shoot without giving an order?!
'Assassin'.
The next moment, Zhu Xiongying realized that something was wrong.
He originally thought that this was the person he arranged for the hero to save the beauty, but now it seems that it is not.
Careless, calculated.
In order not to arouse Xu Miaojin's suspicion, Zhu Xiongying did not arrange guards.
Xu Miaojin also frowned.
Her first thought was that this must be directed at herself, after all, she is Xu Da's daughter, and she is the little sister of today's Wei Guogong, as long as she catches her, she will seize the political authority, and in order to threaten Xu Huizu, she will be able to achieve many ulterior secrets.
"You go."
Xu Miaojin wanted to push Zhu Xiongying away.
However, Zhu Xiongying's solid arms locked her firmly in her arms, and the man's unique breath invaded her nose, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush red.
'Xu Miaojin, at this time, you are still thinking nonsense...'
'We must not drag down Lu Gongzi! ’
Just as Xu Miaojin wanted to say something, more than a dozen black-clothed killers had already jumped out from all over the house and went straight to Zhu Xiongying behind the big willow tree to kill.
'Twelve, goose feather knives, short crossbows. ’
Zhu Xiongying swept over the twelve black-clothed killers, with a coldness in his eyes.
The Yanling knife is a Ming saber.
And the short crossbow is equipped only by the army.
The Ming Dynasty was extremely strict in its control over armaments, and any weapon was recorded, unless it was made privately.
Those who have the ability and ability to privately build weapons are only those vassal kings who hold military power.
'Yuqing Shiqing, the true Fu sue the alliance, push the two Qi, and mix one into a true. Five thunders and five thunders, Huang Ning in a hurry, changes in the mist, roaring lightning and thunder, hearing the breath is coming, the sound of the sun is fast, the wolf Luo is frustrated, the meow is Lu, the chun suppresses the brakes, and the urgency is like a law. ’
Silently reciting in his heart, he saw Master Zhu holding Xu Miaojin with one hand, and pinning out the seal with the other hand behind his waist.
In an instant, a thundercloud appeared in the sky ten feet above.
Bang!
There was a loud bang.
Nine thunderbolts pierced the sky and descended, exploding around the entire willow tree in a circle, and the smoke and dust rolled up in an instant.
The twelve killers were all stunned, and they really hadn't seen such a thing as a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"Don't let people run!"
led to a reminder, and the others reacted and rushed forward one after another.
But when they washed away the smoke and dust, they found that the people under the willow trees had already disappeared without a trace.
An hour later.
At this hour, the thunderbolt of the sunny day has spread all over Yingtianfu, and everything is said...
Some say that it is the heavens punish the crime, some say that there is a great grievance in the world, and some say that this is a warning from God to the Ming Dynasty, indicating that a catastrophe is coming...
Even the imperial court was alarmed, and the six ministries held emergency meetings one after another.
The celestial masters of Qin Tianjian were even more busy, and various analyses and speculations continued.
And as night fell, in the inner city, an ordinary firewood room in the Yuelao Temple.
A man and a woman leaned against a stack of wood.
"You're hurt."
"Does it hurt..."
Xu Miaojin looked at the pale man in front of her, her heart was full of guilt, in her opinion, it was all because of herself.
"I'm going to get a doctor!"
Xu Miaojin was just about to get up, but was pulled by Zhu Xiongying.
"This is the inner city, and there is a curfew at night."
Xu Miaojin turned over and squatted down, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly tore open the hem of her skirt indiscriminately to bandage the wound on the man's shoulder.
When bandaging, blood seeps through the skirt veil.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
Tears were already in the eyes, and pearly tears oozed from the corners of the eyes.
After all, Xu Miaojin was only an eighteen-year-old girl at this time, and she was far from reaching the transcendent world of the 'Answer to the Book of the Yongle Emperor' in the original historical trajectory.
"I don't blame you."
Zhu Xiongying 'endured' the pain, smiled, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Xu Miaojin's cheeks.
'Mission 4: Countdown to 00:30:59'
Time is running out.
Zhu Xiongying thought about it, he couldn't delay it any longer, he had to fight quickly, otherwise he would be sorry for this opening on his shoulder.
The next moment, he coughed violently, and his face changed even more rapidly.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Miaojin saw that Zhu Xiongying was coughing so badly, and immediately panicked.
After stabilizing his mind, he looked at it again, and found that this Lu Ziqiao and Lu Gongzi were already almost unconscious, his lips were white, and his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat.
"Lu Gongzi, Lu Gongzi..."
"Water..."
Zhu Xiongying's voice was vague and weak.
Xu Miaojin hurriedly reacted and took out the carved jade bottle he brought with him, which was not water, but some flower tea, which was a small habit of Xu Miaojin.
Put the mouth of the bottle on Zhu Xiongying's mouth, tried to pour it, and found that it was useless, how much to pour and how much to leak.
Xu Miaojin has read some medical books and knows that injured people are most afraid of dehydration.
Gritting your teeth...
Xu Miaojin raised her head and took a sip of flower tea, and then slowly approached Zhu Xiongying......
