Chapter 506: Attacked on the way
After saying a word, a group of people made an oath here to work together to protect the safety of the eighth prince.
Knowing that the matter was not done, the third prince was furious: "What a waste, after following me for so long, I can't even play with the low-level Shengdou people."
This plan is considered to be useless, and there must be vigilance on the Yuzhou side, and it is impossible to force it, especially at this moment.
After his father made it clear that he wanted to make him the crown prince, all forces must have been eyeing him, and if he made a mistake, it would become a reason for impeachment, and the old horsemen would definitely hold on to him, and it would become more difficult to ascend to the crown prince's throne.
"Forget about this for the time being, warn the group of people below, let them control their hands, don't do things they shouldn't do, if they implicate me, I will let them taste what it means to not survive and die."
After this period of time when the limelight is tight, the three princes will not care what they want to do, after all, only subordinates will make money, and he, the person behind him, can live comfortably.
When the Tianshuo Kingdom was turbulent, Zhao Mocheng and Yun Xiaoshuang had already explained all the affairs of the Nanmo Kingdom and were ready to set off for back.
"It's really a pity for my unformed foreign trade business, I don't know when I can come again."
This trip to the modern and proper public money travel, not only can you eat and drink for free, but also appreciate the local customs, this time to follow Zhao Mocheng to the south of the country, really let her have a lot of gains.
It's just that some brilliant business ideas have been interrupted before they can be implemented.
Looking at her sad appearance, Zhao Mocheng couldn't cry or laugh: "How can you be so pessimistic as you say, this marriage is a signal of friendship between the two countries, and trade exchanges will be more frequent in the future." You are going to go north and south to develop your business, and you will definitely have the opportunity to come again. ”
Yun Xiaoshuang pretended to be deep and said, "You don't understand!" What she is worried about is not that she will not have the opportunity to come to Nanmo again, but that she will definitely spend a lot of money next time, which is all her hard-earned money.
Zhao Mocheng, a stinky man, didn't understand what she meant at all.
"Forget it, we'll talk about the business in the future, are the things we want to bring back to Tianshuo ready?"
The nature of the merchant prompted Yun Xiaoshuang not to miss any opportunity to make money, and the convoy that returned this time was loaded not only with things rewarded by the old emperor of Nanmo Kingdom, but also with special goods that Yun Xiaoshuang had purchased from everywhere.
When it is pulled to the territory of Tianshuo Country and sold along the way, it must be able to make a lot of money. It's fun to think about.
Zhao Mocheng nodded and said: "This is natural, put your heart in your stomach, I don't miss any of your things."
Speaking of which, the reason why the two of them left in such a hurry was because they had been away for a long time, and the eighth prince had no big help in the court at all, and if something unexpected happened, they would be completely out of reach.
I only hope that they are worried about the sky, and that nothing major will happen in the DPRK and China.
All the way to the border of Tianshuo Kingdom, the group was relieved, there were so many valuable goods in the car, they were most afraid of being targeted by bandits, and now it seems that they are too worried.
Who would have thought that not long after his breath was relieved, a burst of wind would hit straight towards the carriage where Zhao Mocheng was.
"Enemy attack, pay attention to protect the master!" A group of guards were stunned, if something happened to Zhao Mocheng, they would be to blame.
Fortunately, Zhao Mocheng in the carriage had a strong sense of crisis, and tilted his head slightly when he didn't see obvious danger, so that he successfully avoided the danger that was close to him.
Such a sudden change scared Yun Xiaoshuang out of a cold sweat, especially after seeing the arrow coated with poison, the feeling of fear reached its peak.
Zhao Mocheng's face was also ugly, he never expected that such a bad thing would happen when he was about to approach the border of Tianshuo.
He immediately said up: "I'm fine, you have to be careful." If possible, keep your mouth alive. ”
He wanted to see who would dare to do that when he was under the emperor's command.
Too bold, or a dog jumping off the wall?
Worried that getting out of the carriage would cause unnecessary trouble to this group of guards, Zhao Mocheng endured it and did not move, but the situation outside was still not optimistic.
He could clearly see that the people who came to ambush were well-trained, and had murderous intentions, and the tricks they used were deadly.
Yun Xiaoshuang was very panicked, with ten thousand regrets in her heart, she had known that she would hire more people with silver, and she could earn more money if the silver was gone, and if the people were gone, there would be nothing.
Yun Xiaoshuang couldn't bear the panic and didn't make a sound to disturb Zhao Mocheng, in her opinion, this man should have a plan in his heart, and he just hopes to get out of this sea of fire as soon as possible.
But what she didn't notice was that Zhao Mocheng's face had already become solemn when he looked outside the carriage.
The few remaining guards gradually showed their decline, and while surrounding Zhao Mocheng for protection, they spoke: "Please master and lady go first, and our palace will be behind."
Everyone here understands that this parting may be a farewell.
Zhao Mocheng's face was calm, but his heart had long been overwhelmed by boundless remorse, because of his incompetence, so many innocent people lost their lives.
The situation became more and more urgent, and the black-clothed man who came to ambush approached them for a while, and even Yun Xiaoshuang was covered with abrasions because of the constant dodging.
If it drags on like this, it will definitely be the end of the whole army, Zhao Mocheng made a decision, pulled the injured horse hard, and left with Yun Xiaoshuang first.
The men in black are targeting them, and perhaps after they leave, the guards will have a chance to survive.
The scene in front of him became more and more blurred, Zhao Mocheng knew that it was going to be bad, but there was no difference on his face.
If he fell now, Yun Xiaoshuang, the woman, was afraid that she would cry to death, and forcibly held on until the horse had no strength and the man in black did not catch up again.
Yun Xiaoshuang immediately sensed that something was wrong with him, and said anxiously: "How are you?" Is it hurt? ”
Before Zhao Mocheng could speak, she was examined by her over and over again, and found a long arrow scratch mark behind his right arm, which had been blackened around it, which was obviously a symptom of poisoning.
Yun Xiaoshuang's tears were about to flow down, she was distressed and anxious, where was she going to find medicine in this barren mountain range.
Zhao Mocheng smiled, as if the person whose life was hanging by a thread was not him, and patiently said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, it's not like heaven and man are separated forever now." Instead of panicking, why don't you help me see if there is any chance of being saved? ”
In the past, Yun Xiaoshuang would definitely teach him to be a man immediately, but now, Zhao Mocheng's joke almost calmed her anxious mood immediately, and she began to think about what to do next.
"We can't go on like this, we have to find a place to settle down as soon as possible, walking around for a long time will only make the poison spread faster."
She is a doctor, but she is not so miraculous that she can see the composition of the toxin at a glance, she needs a little time, and the only thing she can do now is to try to slow down the spread of the poison.
Zhao Mocheng did not have the slightest objection to what Yun Xiaoshuang said, after all, Yun Xiaoshuang was proficient in medical skills, and this must be the best choice at present.
Yun Xiaoshuang pushed Zhao Mocheng into a mountain near the border, the terrain here is complicated, and it will be difficult for those black-clothed people to find it for a while, which is conducive to Zhao Mocheng's recovery and convenient for her to find some simple herbs.
The two traveled all the way to the bottom of the mountain and finally found a dilapidated thatched hut at the bottom of the mountain.
Yun Xiaoshuang looked happy, it's good to have someone, the two of them are finally saved. She quickly walked to the grass hut and knocked on the door: "May I ask anyone?"
After a while, an extraordinarily thin boy poked his head out and looked at them with a wary look in his eyes: "Who are you?"
Yun Xiaoshuang took the initiative to squat down and said in a soft voice: "Little brother, we have no malicious intentions. This is my husband who was injured, we were originally a merchant who bought goods from Nanmo, but we met robbers on the way, and even my husband was poisoned and injured, we really have nowhere to go, I wonder if you can take us in for a while, and we can pay you money according to the number of days. ”
Maybe the expression on Yun Xiaoshuang's face was too sincere, or maybe it was because he had the same experience before, the little boy quickly let down his guard and welcomed the two people in.
When I arrived at the house, Yun Xiaoshuang found that the facilities inside were simple and excessive, and there were traces of the little boy's life everywhere, and it seemed that there were no adults.
After all, this is the boy's privacy, and when they met for the first time, Yun Xiaoshuang didn't take the liberty of asking.
She took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the little boy, "Can you please help us boil some hot water?"
Zhao Mocheng's injuries need to be dealt with immediately, and now it is inconvenient for her to go out at this sensitive moment, so she has to ask the little boy for help in many things.
The little boy looked cowardly, but he didn't expect it to be a twisted character, and after taking Yun Xiaoshuang's silver in his hand, he immediately went out.
After a while, there was a puff of smoke wafting from the courtyard, and then the little boy staggered towards her with a copper kettle.
Yun Xiaoshuang was very sad, but now she didn't have time to think about it so much, she began to concentrate on cleaning Zhao Mocheng's wounds.
After squeezing out a large amount of poisonous blood, Zhao Mocheng's pulse began to become stable, and he should not worry about his life in a short period of time.
Despite this, the toxins must be removed as soon as possible so that the impact on the body can be minimized, and they can return to Tianshuo as soon as possible to understand the situation.
She sensitively sensed that this assassination was by no means simple, and she was afraid that it was really like Zhao Mocheng was worried, and Tianshuo was about to change.
Yun Xiaoshuang was worried, and the little boy's expression also became nervous, thinking that Zhao Mocheng was hopeless.
A little emotion flashed in the little boy's eyes, and he comforted him very clumsily: "Don't be sad, even if he dies, he will be by your side where you can't see it."
A good word of comfort, he said it as a ghost story, thinking about that scene, I feel panicked.
Yun Xiaoshuang couldn't cry or laugh, touched his head and said, "Where did you see that he was hopeless?" He's fine, I'm just thinking about something else. ”
