Chapter 13: Assassination
"So you should marry a girl from the market."
Cheng Shuiyao looked at Xiao Ji's eyes and said very calmly.
Xiao Ji was silent for a long time, and only raised his eyes halfway before he pulled Cheng Shuiyao into his arms.
"Since you want to, I'll support you."
Cheng Shuiyao nodded happily, and was about to find a topic to continue chatting, when she suddenly saw the bright arrow behind Xiao Ji.
How did this assassination come so quickly!
Cheng Shuiyao didn't have time to react, so she could only subconsciously pounce on Xiao Ji.
The sharp arrow grazed Cheng Shuiyao's arm, and then plunged straight into the ground.
If it weren't for the thick clothes worn in winter, I'm afraid Cheng Shuiyao would have to see blood at this moment.
"I'll call the officers and soldiers!" Cheng Shuiyao didn't have time to think so much, she turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Ji.
"Don't alarm too many people, you go and talk to Yang Qi, just give me the arrow."
Xiao Ji's face was solemn, he cautiously glanced at the place where the arrow had just been released, and looked around at everyone who was sleeping in a tangled and whispered.
This is for him, presumably to make him completely die in exile, and has nothing to do with anyone else.
If everyone is killed together in a panic, it will be his sin.
Cheng Shuiyao wanted to say something, but she also knew that the situation was critical, so she quickly went to find Yang Qi.
"No, it's too dangerous, I'll go with him."
Yang Qi heard this, but directly vetoed it, and looked at Cheng Shuiyao's face with a serious expression for the first time.
"Official, who is my husband, I think you know, today's matter is the Xiao family's own business, you can't implicate innocent people, believe him, okay?"
Cheng Shuiyao forced herself to calm down, quickly reasoned with Yang Qi, and forced him to look directly at her.
"That's it, here you go."
Yang Qi was finally defeated, and directly threw the matching sword to Cheng Shuiyao, turning his head away from looking at her
"If we don't come back after tomorrow morning, please take care of my mother-in-law and younger siblings."
Cheng Shuiyao took the sword, was silent for two seconds, and slowly spoke.
Before the words fell, Cheng Shuiyao ran away resolutely and went straight to Xiao Ji.
"You stay here and don't move!"
Xiao Ji was not willing to let Cheng Shuiyao take the risk, took the sword in her hand, and left here in a hurry.
The clothes belt in his hand was pulled suddenly, and Cheng Shuiyao felt a sense of loss in her heart, and she always had an ominous premonition.
Snow, Assassination......
Wrong!
Cheng Shuiyao suddenly remembered the original text, and ran over with her legs unwillingly.
According to the original text, here Xiao Ji will be stabbed in the heart by a sword, and in the end, even if the most precious medicine is used, it is difficult to cure.
This injury is also one of the reasons for Xiao Ji's irritability in the later period.
No, you have to change the trajectory.
Cheng Shuiyao shook her head, threw out the thoughts in her mind, gritted her teeth and went straight to the woods not far away.
It's winter, and the trees are only torso, and there is nothing left to cover themselves.
Cheng Shuiyao held her breath and searched for a long time, and finally found a boulder that she could look at and cover herself.
Suppressing the beating heart, Cheng Shuiyao took a deep breath and quietly poked her head out.
At this time, Xiao Ji had already fought with the killer.
Shuttling between several people, Xiao Ji was at ease and did not fall behind at all.
This was the first time Cheng Shuiyao intuitively saw Xiao Ji make a move, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
I saw Xiao Ji calm and calm, his body standing upright, although he was besieged, he didn't feel anxious at all.
So how did he get hurt?
Cheng Shuiyao frowned and quietly looked around.
An open gun can't hurt him, only a hidden arrow can hurt him!
Observing the surroundings inch by inch, Cheng Shuiyao suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and when she looked closely, she could clearly see that there was a white figure hidden not far away.
Because the clothes are basically the same color as the snow, they are so hidden that you can't see them if you don't look closely.
That's it.
Cheng Shuiyao's face was overjoyed, and seeing Xiao Ji pierce the heart of the person behind him with a sword, he hurriedly spoke.
"Xianggong, dodge the southeast"
At the same time, a feather arrow suddenly pierced the air and flew towards Xiao Ji.
Although he was stunned, Xiao Ji still subconsciously listened to Cheng Shuiyao's words and bent down slightly.
Only the bend was a little smaller, and the arrow flew out of his waist.
At the same time, Xiao Ji threw the sword in his hand with his backhand.
A muffled snort sounded, and there was a blinding red in the snow.
I think it's solved.
Cheng Shuiyao felt a lot more relieved, hurriedly ran to Xiao Ji's side, and looked at Xiao Ji's wound.
The strength of this arrow is extremely strong, and the angle is tricky, because Xiao Ji's clothes are thick enough, he will inevitably be cut out.
"Why are you here!"
Xiao Ji didn't bother to take care of the wound, and looked at Cheng Shuiyao nervously.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm hiding, but it's you, it doesn't matter if this injury is okay!"
Cheng Shuiyao shook her head, hurriedly pulled Xiao Ji's hand away, and looked at his waist.
The fair skin has a little more bright red, which is particularly eye-catching, but fortunately, it is not deep and should heal soon.
"Thanks to you today, but how do you know? I didn't even notice it."
Xiao Ji was still afraid when he remembered the angle of the arrow now.
If it weren't for Cheng Shuiyao's reminder, I'm afraid that even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.
"I just happened to see it."
Cheng Shuiyao frowned subconsciously, reflecting that he knew something was wrong, and hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Can't these corpses just be put here, do we have to find a way to hide them?"
Xiao Ji looked sideways, looked at the corpse in the place, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
"It's all blood, you might be scared, I'll clean it up."
Cheng Shuiyao didn't force it, nodded obediently, indicating that she would stay here honestly.
Now that the danger has been solved, there is no need for her to intervene in the rest of the matter, Xiao Ji has much more experience in this area than herself, and it is useless to go by herself.
Xiao Ji glanced at her again, turned his head and began to bury the body.
Luckily, the snow here is thick enough that it is not difficult to hide a corpse underneath, but there are too many of them, and it is a hassle to move.
Xiao Ji determined Cheng Shuiyao's location from time to time, and then lowered his head again to do what he was doing.
After tossing for half a night, Xiao Ji finished dealing with this side and walked back with Cheng Shuiyao.
"This smell of blood is a bit strong, doesn't it matter?"
Cheng Shuiyao sniffed Xiao Ji's body and was a little suspicious.
If you let Xie Yin know, you may be worried.
"It doesn't matter, I'll just go to the back of the line tomorrow, you go and return the sword to Yang Qi."
Xiao Ji shook his head and stopped when he was still a little away from everyone.
Cheng Shuiyao knew what he was thinking, didn't say anything, and quietly walked to Yang Qi's side.
"Solved?"
Yang Qi opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Shuiyao, who was unscathed, and was a little puzzled
"I underestimated my husband's abilities."
