Chapter 113: Overboard
On the edge of the stone bridge in front of Zhengyang Gate in the capital, corpses are all over the field, and the blood is like fog.
Ye Qiong took Wang Muqiu by the hand and watched Lu Shaodan's figure shuttle between the assassins, the sword light was like Bai Lian who caused death, and he took a lot of lives in an instant.
Although Lu Shaodan was still decisive when he went under the knife, Ye Qiong was keenly aware that Lu Shaodan's shoulder seemed to be injured, and he used the dexterity of his wrist when he went under the knife, instead of relying on the strength of his shoulder as usual.
Ye Qiong's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but take a step forward, but it was Gu Congyan next to her who grabbed her, so she didn't get closer.
However, the assassin originally came with the will to die, and the assassin who had already been on the bridge didn't care about the life or death of his companions behind him, and rushed towards Ye Qiong and them like crazy.
Gu Congyan flicked the long whip desperately, Ji Qin'er gave up the sleeve arrow, and as soon as she turned around, she pulled out the long knife of the assassin who fell beside her, and fought towards the assassin who rushed forward.
Ye Qiong protected Wang Muqiu, the weakest behind him, tightly grasped the dagger in his hand, and constantly recalled in his heart the memories of the first time he killed in the Xie family's courtyard, and the few tricks he had barely learned with the egret before.
Remember, kick the crotch before plunging the dagger into the Assassin's throat.
Ye Qiong thought silently in her heart, watching an assassin rush in front of her, counting the distance, and raising her foot towards the crotch of the comer.
But Ye Qiong didn't expect that the assassin didn't come to kill people at all, he dodged Ye Qiong's kick in a flash, and wanted to kidnap Wang Muqiu, who looked the weakest behind Ye Qiong.
Ye Qiong instantly discovered the assassin's intentions, ignoring the long knife hanging above his head, he hit the assassin's body headlong, hugged the assassin's wrist holding the long knife tightly, and shouted: "Run!" β
The assassin was furious, the long knife was raised high, and when the sword flashed, it was about to slash at Ye Qiong's body, but a short arrow broke through the air and nailed between the assassin's eyebrows.
Ye Qiong recognized that it was the hand-throwing arrow that Lu Shaodan had been carrying with him.
Wang Muqiu, who had been standing not far away with his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, but in the next moment, he watched the assassin's tall figure fall down with a bang, and he climbed off the bridge with Ye Qiong, who couldn't dodge.
"Ye Qiong-" Wang Muqiu screamed in fright, "What should I do, Ye Qiong has fallen into the water!" β
Ji Qin'er listened to Wang Muqiu's cry and wanted to save people, but the assassin was helpless, and even she was covered with colors, and she was anxious, when she felt a gust of wind blowing around her, and the assassin in front of her had been cut off, and there was blood foaming on his neck.
Ji Qin'er was stunned, Gu Congyan on the side couldn't hold back anymore, and vomited with a wow.
Wang Muqiu stood on the edge of the railing, looking at the black river, anxious. Feeling that someone was coming around him, Wang Muqiu just wanted to ask for help, but he heard a "bang" falling water again.
It was still the first month, the water of the Yuhe River was cold and biting, the water was turbulent, Lu Shaodan kept diving in the black water, and all the regret and frustration turned into anxiety and worry.
Ye Qiong doesn't know how to drain water! If she could, she wouldn't have been pushed into the water by her fourth uncle in her own house and lay down for half a month.
But under the water, there was nothing, Lu Shaodan even found the body of the assassin, but he didn't see any trace of Ye Qiong, until there was a burning suffocation sensation in his chest, and he finally came out of the water unwillingly, and shouted loudly: "Ye Qiong, Ye Qiong-"
The river is vast, and the only thing that responds to him is the river lamp that floats from nowhere.
Lu Shaodan was unwilling, the wind on the river made his face hurt like a knife, he took a deep breath, and was about to dive again, but he heard a faint anxious "Shaodan", and the water flow around him also felt a slight change.
A trace of incredulity and ecstasy flashed in Lu Shaodan's heart, and the man had already swam not far from him, gently lifted him up in the water, and led him to the shore.
The person who came was Ye Qiong.
Sensing Ye Qiong's struggle, Lu Shaodan instantly switched positions with Ye Qiong and lifted her to swim to the shore.
Ye Qiong actually knows how to drink water, but that was in her previous life, after she married into the Korean government, she was almost pushed into the water by Zhang Xudong's concubine and drowned, and then she specially practiced water.
Ye Qiong was about to swim to the shore by herself, but at the moment when she was about to go ashore, she heard Lu Shaodan's shout again.
Ye Qiong knows Lu Shaodan, if he doesn't find himself, Lu Shaodan will always look for it in the icy river water, even if he still has injuries on his body, thinking of this, Ye Qiong can only endure the biting cold and swim back.
"Are you stupid?" Ye Qiong was so angry that she couldn't help but scold, refused Lu Shaodan's help in the water, and stubbornly put her arm under Lu Shaodan's armpit to support him, "Don't you know that you have injuries on your body?" It's the first month, but it's not July or August, do you want your shoulders to be scrapped? Even if I fall overboard, you don't have to come down to find my ...... yourself."
In the end, Ye Qiong's words already had a crying tone.
Lu Shaodan just smiled with relief and didn't speak.
"Ye Qiong-" Not far away, a boat floated over, Ye Qiong hurriedly shouted "help", and the boat immediately sped up a lot and stopped beside the two.
It was Ji Qin'er and Wang Muqiu on the boat, Ji Qin'er was very surprised to see Ye Qiong and Lu Shaodan together, and hurriedly beckoned someone to pull the two up, but Lu Shaodan said: "It's good that Ye Qiong gets on the boat, you just say that if you find her, I won't get on the boat, otherwise, it will hurt her reputation." β
Ji Qin'er and Wang Muqiu were stunned, and Ye Qiong was also stunned, wanting to catch Lu Shaodan, but Lu Shaodan had already gotten into the water, like a fish entering the river and sea, and disappeared in an instant.
Ye Qiong bit her lip, forcing herself not to look back, grabbed Ji Qin'er's outstretched hand, and turned over on the boat.
Wang Muqiu immediately put a thick cloak on Ye Qiong with red eyes, and Ji Qin'er personally brought a bowl of hot water and said, "Let's drink some first, so as to warm up." β
Ye Qiong's face was so pale that she could barely hold the bowl, and it took several sips to relieve her breath and say, "County Lord, how is the situation over there?" β
After this experience, Ji Qin'er and Wang Muqiu both knew the relationship between Ye Qiong and Lu Shaodan, so Ji Qin'er picked up some that could be said and said: "The assassins have been all exterminated or captured, and in this assassination, the casualties of the people are not small, and the specific number of people will wait for the statistics of Jin Wuwei and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not injured, but Gu Congyan's elder brother Gu Congju and Lu Gongzi were both injured, and your brother was also slightly injured. Lu Gongzi's martial arts are excellent, and he has helped His Highness avoid the sneak attacks of the assassins many times......"
Speaking of this, Ji Qin'er smiled, and her face returned to a bit of the innocence that she usually showed outside: "Perhaps, Lu Gongzi can wait for the reward." β
Ye Qiong exhaled a long breath, diverted the topic, and said tentatively with some curiosity: "Speaking of which, the county lord can use a sleeve arrow to make it so good, it is really beyond my expectations." β
In her previous life, Ye Qiong hadn't heard much about Ji Qin'er's martial arts.
A trace of pride appeared on Ji Qin'er's face, and Wang Muqiu explained for her: "After all, the county lord is the orphan of the king of Nanping County, and the county king and the princess have both practiced martial arts, especially the county king, who was famous for galloping in the shopping mall back then. The county lord naturally learned some of it, although he was not proficient, but his self-defense was still enough, but there were few people in the palace who knew about it. β
Ye Qiong was surprised, she didn't expect that the county lord of Nanping, who felt so naΓ―ve and stupid in her previous life, would come into contact again in this life that she realized that she had such a character and such martial arts.
It seems that the memories of the past life cannot be completely relied on!
Thinking of this, Ye Qiong clenched the porcelain bowl in her hand.
At this time in the previous life, there was no movement in the capital. If there is, it will be unprinted after the year.
Thinking of what happened year after this year, Ye Qiong was shocked.
Soon after the release of the seal a year later, it was the follow-up to the soul case, and the house of the late Chunfang University scholar Bian Yuanwei, who taught the prince, found out the letters and seals of the prince's contact with the Shengwang against the party, and then the blood of the auxiliary ministers of the East Palace splashed the court and angrily accused the prince of plotting rebellion......
In the end, the crown prince was abolished and imprisoned in the palace, and the queen died in a hurry.
When Ye Qiong thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
It all started with the Soul Calling Case.
In this life, by preventing the soul-calling case, I cut off the cause of all this. And his own behavior is like a stone falling into the water of a lake, stirring up ripples in circles and circles.
Today's disaster in the capital, so many lives, is it because she changed history?
Ye Qiong shuddered.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Ye Qiong, Ji Qin'er and Wang Muqiu returned to Zhengyang Gate, there were already many Jin Wuwei standing there.
Jin Wuwei is different from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, it is the army directly under Emperor Shunhe, and among them are the most elite soldiers in the entire Daliang, standing there, it is a solemn and solemn iron tower, which makes people fearful.
Ye Qiong had already changed her clothes, only her hair was still wet, and she didn't have time to dry it, so she simply pulled her hair in a bun.
As soon as Ye Qiong arrived, Ye Jin, who had been waiting anxiously, immediately rushed forward, and when he saw Ye Qiong's good complexion, he breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to Ye Qiong: "Little sister, we can't go back for the time being, Jin Wuwei's people want to ask a few words, can you still hold on?" β
Ye Qiong nodded, and Yu Guang saw the prince and Lu Shaodan coming over, and hurriedly motioned Ye Jin to get out of the way, gave a solemn salute to the prince, and was helped up by the female entourage beside the prince.
That woman has seen Ye Qiong, and she is the palace maid in charge of the queen's palace, Jin Se. Jin Se had already heard that someone had reported Ye Qiong's deeds, and he had a good impression of Ye Qiong, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Miss Ye is also a hero today, so there is no need to be so polite." β
Ye Qiong thanked him, and his eyes brushed lightly with Lu Shaodan. Seeing that Lu Shaodan had also changed his clothes, and the injuries on his body seemed to have been treated, Ye Qiong was a little relieved.
Ye Jin paid attention to Ye Qiong's gaze and whispered, "...... I never knew that Shaodan's skills were so good. How much did he hide from me? β
Ye Qiong sighed in her heart.
It seems that my brother has also noticed the abnormality of Lu Shaodan.
Ye Jin was hesitating how to persuade Ye Qiong to stay away from Lu Shaodan, when several people heard the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of iron armor colliding, Ye Qiong's heart tightened again, and Lu Shaodan also sank his gaze.
The sound of horses' hooves stopped, and the commander of Jin Wuwei, dressed in iron armor, turned over and dismounted, half-knelt in front of the prince, and said, "The minister is late for help, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." β
The prince calmly said goodbye, and the commander of Jin Wuwei straightened up, but at that moment, when his eyes inadvertently glanced at the person behind the prince, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and he couldn't help muttering: "Five, fifth brother, ......"
Everyone present was stunned, and when they looked at the gaze of the commander of Jin Wuwei, they saw a handsome young man.
His posture is loose, even if his sideburns are slightly wet and his body is injured, it is still difficult to hide the nobility around him. The young man's gaze was calm, like an unpredictable lake.
The people present were all twelve or thirteen-year-old boys and girls, and they didn't know the past of Daliang Capital. And people like Jin Wuwei and female officials who have lived in the capital for a long time will remember that more than ten years ago in the capital, there was a brilliant young man, despite his disability, he still has a unique appearance.
Lu Shaodan looked at the commander of Jin Wuwei, the second uncle of his blood relationship, Lu Jiancheng, and said lightly: "Dare to ask this general, do you know my father Lu Moxuan?" β
