【128】Return to the island
The suddenness of the assassination made Lai Yueqi nervous, and although she didn't scream, she grabbed Xiao Shizhu's arm and didn't let go. His fingertips pressed his sleeves and sank into Xiao Shizhu's flesh, making him suddenly feel a burst of pain in his hands, and he secretly gasped a few breaths of cold air to relieve the pain.
After all, Xiao Shizhu had also been on the battlefield several times, and he was completely unimpressed by this kind of small scene; in line with the principle of watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, he actually looked at the sword light and sword shadow that flashed like a flash of lightning not far away, and at the same time said loudly and sarcastically to the people in black: "Hey, brothers! Yes, it's those guys who wear black and don't slip away, I don't understand, why do you all have to wear black clothes to commit assassinations?
He was not idle while talking, his eyes looked at these black-clothed people carefully, but after seeing that in addition to fearlessness in their eyes, only death remained, Xiao Shizhu suddenly knew that they were all dead soldiers, and there was no capture alive at all.
"Okay, let's not talk about wearing black, this may be your fixed professional attire!" After saying this, Xiao Shizhu felt that it was not enough, and shouted to them again: "But you said that if you want to carry out assassination, can't you be quiet? Make such a big move, you are all deaf or blind when we are all deaf or blind." ”。
A fierce ridicule, not only did not make the people in black feel guilty, but made them crazy, the knife danced faster and faster, the knife flashed, the blade was still sharp, and the murderous spirit was infinite.
This is exactly the effect that Xiao Shizhu wants, which makes them feel upset. Don't look at them getting braver and braver, but their moves are a little chaotic, and in a matter of moments, two of the three or five men in black have died under the swords of the guards.
But what Xiao Shizhu didn't calculate was that he shouted before he landed, and from the Fusang Divine Wood Forest on both sides, four or five black-clothed people who had already been ambushed rushed out. For a time, the two sides were evenly matched.
"Tactics of adding fuel are taboo for soldiers!" Xiao Shizhu was not frightened when he saw it, but laughed and said to the guards around him who were engrossed in guarding: "You don't have to protect me." Go up to a few to support them, and all the traitors will be killed!"
Under the collision of weapons, there was a clang. Several men in black gradually lost their defeat and were hacked to death by the combined efforts of the guards. The two sides should have been evenly matched, but in an instant, they became Xiao Shizhu's ghost soldiers, completely overpowering the man in black.
At this time, a man in black saw that the situation was not good, jumped back, jumped out of the encirclement of the guards, threw away the single knife in his hand, took out a short bow from behind his waist, drew another arrow, mounted the bow and began to shoot the guards.
The next second, only a "whoosh" sound was heard, and one of the guards fell to the ground. Xiao Shizhu's soldiers were stunned for a moment and then exploded, and a few of them immediately killed the black-clothed man with the bow.
This can expose the flaws in the encirclement.
One of the black-clothed men spotted a gap, and after blocking the head stab of the guard besieging him with a backhand, he jumped up with his breath, the tip of the knife pointed straight in front of him, and with a gust of cold light and strong wind, he rushed towards Xiao Shizhu's side.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the black-clothed man with the bow, and the black-clothed man who pounced on Xiao Shizhu suddenly attacked, so that everyone couldn't react at the first time. When everyone came back to their senses, the man in black had landed a few feet away from Xiao Shizhu's body, and without hesitation, he swirled the knife in his hand and handed it forward at the same time.
In the cold light, Xiao Shizhu, who was sharp-eyed, immediately saw the trajectory of the knife, not towards him, but towards Lai Yueqi.
In addition to being stunned, seeing that the blade that shone with blue light was getting closer and closer, Xiao Shizhu stood in front of Lai Yueqi without hesitation. He clearly saw that the mirror-like knife body reflected a smug face in the cold air, which was the man in black.
The next second later, in Lai Yueqi's screams of closing her eyes, blood splattered three feet.
Vajra struggled forward, grabbing the blade of the single knife so that it could not go any further. And the two guards who stayed by Xiao Shizhu's side had no hesitation to stab the blades in their hands into the armpits of the black-clothed man. The moon-destroying sword on Xiao Shizhu's waist was naturally out of its sheath, and the cold light flashed away, and the tip of the sword pierced directly into the heart of the man in black.
The pain made cold sweat break out on his forehead, and he raised his head panting, but saw that the single knife in his hand did not hit the target, and the tip of the half-foot knife stabbed Xiao Shizhu's left collarbone.
As the guards turned their swords, the man in black fell to the ground with his head tilted to the sky, and the resentment in his eyes did not dissipate until a second before it turned to dust.
Not far away, his comrades were also wiped out by the guards one after another at this time.
King Kong glanced at the blood flowing from his palm, and after seeing that it was a little purple, he widened his eyes and said weakly: "The knife is ...... Toxic?". As soon as the words landed, his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground limply.
"Quick, go to the city and ask Xia Xing to send a doctor and bring the antidote. Xiao Shizhu ignored the burning pain of his wound, leaned down, took King Kong's hand and began to take his pulse. This trick was taught to him by Hu Hui, who knew a little about medical skills, and he wanted to just learn to play, but he didn't want it to come in handy today.
But after seeing that although King Kong's pulse was gradually weakening, he still had a pulse, and he suddenly felt that there was still hope and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Engong, are you okay?" Seeing that the front of his clothes was also bright red, Lai Yueqi was also shocked, anxious and afraid, and hurriedly squatted down beside Xiao Shizhu, helpless and tearful, and his hands trembled slightly to check the wounds on his body.
How did she know that Xiao Shizhu had a chaotic Xuanli body, and the wound had begun to heal slowly when the knife was pulled out; as for the poison soaked in the knife, although a lot of it entered the body, it was also dissolved by the Xuanli one by one, so Xiao Shizhu was only a little bleeding and pale, but there were no uncomfortable symptoms such as dilated pupils or difficulty breathing.
"It's fine. After Xiao Shizhu replied casually, he looked at the fainted King Kong and pondered. Those black-clothed men were obviously aimed at Lai Yueqi, and they were planned and organized, but who revealed Lai Yueqi's whereabouts? He didn't know and couldn't figure it out.
He suspected that King Kong would not change, but if it was King Kong, he would not have to do anything here. When fishing, you are in the middle of the barren mountains and mountains, and it is the best place to start, and the success rate is also the highest. But Lai Yueqi went to the woods several times without permission and came back intact, which dispelled his worries and suspicions.
So he dispelled his suspicions about King Kong, and hurriedly urged the soldiers: "Go and see if there is an antidote in the clothes left by the people in black, and I will deal with him urgently." ”。 Without hesitation, he tore off a strip of cloth from his sleeve, tightened the wrist of King Kong's injured hand, and began to suck King Kong's blood with his mouth against the wound......
* Xiao Shizhu, who was wearing his upper body, sat cross-legged on the bed, Lai Yueqi was doing her best to wrap a bandage for him, and asked softly: "Are you comfortable?" After speaking, he sniffed suddenly, and quietly wept again. The injury was on Xiao Shizhu's body, but it hurt in her heart.
"It's fine. Xiao Shizhu replied disappreciatively.
At this moment, King Kong was walking in front of the house, and when he saw Lai Yueqi changing the dressing for Xiao Shizhu, who was on his upper body*, he hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands and said repeatedly: "I didn't see anything." Then he turned and left.
"Come back. Xiao Shizhu shouted loudly and said, "What are you running? ”。
"No, hehe. King Kong sneered, turned around and stood behind the door, and said with a smirk: "I saw that you were not wearing clothes, and I thought you wanted that?"
"What?" Xiao Shizhu glared at him, and asked angrily, "Is the injury on your hand better?"
"Thanks to you, the poison is gone, and the wounds are healing. King Kong raised his hand to look at the bandage on his hand and smirked again.
At this time, Xia Xing also happened to come to the house, and after bowing to Xiao Shizhu, he said: "General, assassinate Lai ......", she suddenly paused in the middle of speaking, and after watching Lai Yueqi want to speak for a while, she said a little reluctantly: "The ghost who assassinated Mrs. Lai has been investigated." ”。 It's not that she doesn't like Lai Yueqi, it's just that she, who is loyal to her ghost mother, can't accept the fact that Xiao Shizhu wants Lai Yueqi to be a side room for a while.
As soon as he mentioned this matter, Xiao Shizhu was furious, not that it was not entirely that the ghost dared to assassinate him and was angry, but that a few days ago, he saw that Heilong County was stable, and he saw the assassination incident in a few days. He glared at Xia Xing angrily and asked, "What the hell did you do?"
"The local martial arts family Nangong family. Xia Xing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "General, every knife will leave a mark of a craftsman; The minister went to the workshop, and after the shopkeeper saw the knives, he said that these knives were made for the Nangong family. ”。
"The Nangong family is a local martial arts powerhouse, and has always lived on Black Dragon Island. After thinking about it, Xia Xing added: "After hundreds of years, there are now more than 100 shops and more than 300 disciples under his name. ”。
"Okay, it's another strong party!" Xiao Shizhu sneered, slapped the bed panel suddenly, and asked: "Continue to follow this clue to find out the real murderer behind the scenes, and ask why they assassinated the moon girl." If this matter is the mastermind of the Nangong family, all the disciples' families will not leave any of the Fa, and all property will be confiscated. ”。
"No!" Xia Xing was about to leave, Xiao Shizhu got up suddenly, and said: "Inform the counties, counties, and villages of the ghost mother country, from now on, craftsmen who are not weapons supervisors are not allowed to privately make knives, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons. Those who dare to disobey will not be tolerated. Whoever makes a sword or weapon privately shall be fined ten taels of silver and imprisoned for five years, and those who use two swords will be doubled, and so on. ”。
"No. Xia Xing replied and retreated.
As soon as she went out on the front foot, a herald on the back foot entered the house and said, "General, my lord has sent a message, please return to the island quickly." ”。
