Chapter 46: More than half of the dead and wounded
Liu Chu's sentence from the army made the three masked black-clothed men change color at the same time, Ye Xiaoguang and the others also changed their complexion greatly, and it turned out that the people in the army wanted to kill them.
Could it be that Sun Zhenghao's pro-army team was trying to kill them? Or was it instructed by Luo Yongcai, the general of Kyushu?
Liu Chu couldn't figure it out, Sun Zhenghao's pro-army team should not want to kill them, they and Sun Zhenghao had no grudges in the past, and Luo Yongcai, the general of Kyushu, should not either.
A figure appeared in Liu Chu's heart, Mu Qing.
What if Mu Qing instructed Sun Zhenghao to do it? Although Mu Qing's hand could not be inserted in the army, and he could not control a Kyushu general like Luo Yongcai at all, it should still be possible to buy a pro-soldier team with a lot of money.
It may also be his own people sent by Mu Qing.
But now there is no point in investigating who wants to kill them, and the first thing they need to do now is to find a way to escape, and only by staying alive can they continue to have the ability to pursue them.
When many people encounter extreme dangers that may threaten their lives, the first thing they think of is how to resist, and it is right to resist, but they should also consider how to survive, and only by surviving can they think about revenge.
Liu Chu shook his hand, threw out a few darts, and then roared, attack!
Taking advantage of the gap between the three black-clothed personalities blocking the darts, everyone attacked the black-clothed man on the far left at the same time.
Ye Xiaoguang, as the main attacker, stabbed out a volley with a spear momentum, which shocked the black-clothed man's heart, as if he didn't expect Ye Xiaoguang to be able to use the spear before he became a cultivator.
Others acted as auxiliaries, and Monk Zhiyi used the lion's roar of Buddhism to interfere, and Li Baixiao also threw out several incendiary charms in a row, and after these talismans flew out, they circled around the man in black and burned, restricting his movement to a certain extent.
Xie Xianing and Wei Suo also cooperated to suddenly come close to interfere, while Gan Chengyuan and Hao Hongji helped to hold October up, and after tearing the mouth for a while, they rushed out with October.
The man in black was full of momentum, and a layer of momentum formed around him, which meant that Ye Xiaoguang's volley would not be able to pierce his body, but it didn't matter, their purpose was to knock this person away!
The volley arrived, but it failed to knock the man in black on the left as he wished, but it also made his body shake back two steps, leaving a gap in the middle.
"Scatter!" Liu Chu roared, taking the lead, holding the seriously injured Xi Feichen through the gap.
Others also seized this rare opportunity to break through and rushed out one after another.
The other two black-clothed men were stunned, all this happened between the lightning and flint, they didn't react, and when they reacted, Liu Chu and they had already run away.
The three of them glanced at each other, and the faces hidden under each other's scarves were ugly, but they didn't expect that a master who had just entered the realm of transforming gods, plus two masters who were at the peak of the realm of gathering qi, all let the three of them slip away, which made their faces dull, which was really careless.
Fortunately, they still have a backhand arrangement, otherwise this time they would really capsize in the gutter, and they would not be able to explain to the proprietor when they go back, and they would lose their lives.
After Liu Chu and the others rushed out of the house, they all breathed a sigh of relief, just now their lives were really hanging by a thread.
"Quick! Find cover!"
Before Liu Chu could breathe a sigh, he suddenly heard a mechanical sound that clicked, this mechanical sound, he couldn't be more familiar with, Da Wei's standard crossbow arrows!
Liu Chu hid behind the pillar with Xi Feichen in his arms, Ye Xiaoguang and the others also found cover, only to rush out in the end Gan Chengyuan and Hao Hongji, because they were carrying a weak October, so they were half a beat slower, and when the crossbow arrows poured in, more than half of their bodies were exposed.
With two pops, a crossbow arrow pierced Gan Chengyuan's left shoulder, and a crossbow arrow pierced Hao Hongji's calf, and October was pushed behind the pillar by the two of them on the spot without any damage.
The standard crossbow arrows of the Great Wei are divided into two types: five-round and ten-round, the volume of the ten-round is heavy and is generally assembled on the border army defending the city, while the five-shot crossbow arrows are lighter and are assembled on the body of the attacking army.
The appearance of the Great Wei standard crossbow arrows confirmed that these people were people in the army, which made Liu Chu extremely angry, when did the soldiers of the Great Wei become other people's pawns?
Before Gan Chengyuan and Hao Hongji could enter the back of the pillar, the second round of crossbow arrows arrived, and the two of them watched the rain of arrows fall towards them, and the crossbow arrows slowly enlarged in their pupils, originally just a black line, and even the polished lines on the arrows were clearly visible in the back.
The two looked at each other and laughed miserably, did their lives end here?
The two men closed their eyes, waiting for death to come and harvest their lives, but just as the rain of arrows was about to fall on them, an explosion suddenly sounded in front of them, and the rain of arrows was completely destroyed.
The two looked in the direction of Liu Chu, Xi Feichen was standing there weakly with his arm raised, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
October regained some strength and hurriedly pulled the two of them by the hand and pulled them behind the pillar.
"The wound is not deep, thanks to the strength of your two muscles. October checked the injuries of the two people a little, she broke the crossbow arrow, but did not take out the arrow, now there is no treatment condition, once the arrow is taken out, it will be bleeding nonstop, and when she gets through the current difficulties, she will find a place to treat the wound.
"Little calf!" Xi Feichen slammed into his palm, then fainted again and fell into Liu Chu's arms.
"I'll attract the attack in a while, you take the opportunity to escape and run separately, otherwise you will be caught in one net!" Li Baixiao shouted loudly to inform everyone.
"How can you be left alone to attract an attack?
"It's too late, if those three men in black make a move, none of us will be able to escape, and we have to leave here quickly before they fully react yet. ”
After Li Baixiao finished speaking, he ran out directly, shouting at the surrounding eaves: "Grandson, your grandfather and I are here!
Sure enough, all the crossbow arrows were aimed at him at the same time, and the rain of arrows was even more dense than before, and his words seemed to anger the crossbowmen.
"Let's go, don't waste the opportunity that the Baixiao brothers have created for us!" Liu Chu hugged Xi Feichen and left quickly.
October, Gan Chengyuan, and Hao Hongji helped each other to leave.
Ye Xiaoguang, Xie Xianning, Zhiyi Monk and Wei Suo glanced at Li Baixiao, who was surrounded by a rain of arrows, clenched the fists in their hands, and left the scene with anger.
Liu Chu also gritted his teeth and swore in his heart that he would definitely avenge Li Baixiao.
After Liu Chu and the others left, Li Baixiao looked at the rain of arrows in the sky, and shouted in his mouth, Substitute for death!
A red spell appeared, followed by a puff of green smoke, and when the green smoke cleared, the crossbowmen were shocked to find that their crossbow arrows had been shot at a scarecrow!
Li Baixiao was nowhere to be found, and there was only a scarecrow full of crossbow arrows.
The three black-clothed people rushed over at this time, and they didn't see Liu Chu's figure, and their faces suddenly sank like water, and a cold breath was born in their hearts, this mission was not completed, and they were afraid that they would have to shed their skin.
"A few more unconscious ones have been brought under control and killed?" asked one of the men in black, looking at the man in black who was leading in the middle.
"Kill it, bring it back and give it to the proprietor. The black-clothed man at the head nodded expressionlessly.
Three cultivators with good strength were actually run away by a group of martial artists, and they all felt ashamed when they said this!
After chasing out for several miles, the more the old dean thought about it, the more wrong it became, and then his face changed greatly, and his heart was as uncomfortable as eating a dead mouse, as if he had been tricked!
The old dean immediately turned around and rushed back, hoping that Liu Chu and the others would not have an accident, otherwise he would blame himself to death.
At the same time, after Liu Chu and the others broke through, they chose to run separately, for fear of being caught up and wiped out.
Liu Chu didn't dare to stop, and ran until dawn, when he found a hidden grove to stop and rest.
After Liu Chu made a few simple traps, he began to seriously check Xi Feichen's injuries, Xi Feichen was not lightly injured by the three black-clothed people, and forcibly hit a palm Lei Ti Gan Chengyuan and Hao Hongji to relieve the siege, and the injuries in his body were aggravated a few points.
Liu Chu opened Xi Feichen's clothes and found three palm prints on his chest and back, the two palms on his back were fine, but the palm on his chest looked very powerful, and Xi Feichen's sternum may have cracks.
His internal organs should have also suffered a lot of impact, but I hope it didn't cause irreversible damage.
"Don't worry, I can't die, it'll be fine in a few days, you can find a way to go back and contact the old dean, he may also find out that something is wrong, maybe he has come back now, and we will be safe if we find the old dean." ”
Xi Feichen grabbed Liu Chu's hand and didn't let him continue to check, signaling him not to worry about his injuries, the top priority was to find the old dean and then join the others.
"Then you wait for me here, don't run away, I've set a trap around the area, if anyone breaks into this grove, you can get an early warning. Liu Chu explained, gave Xi Feichen a dagger to protect himself, and then turned to leave.
After Liu Chu got up, Xi Feichen stared at the dagger for a while, and then got up with difficulty and left the grove.
Liu Chu carefully observed the surrounding situation along the way, in case he bumped into those people last night, if the old dean returned there and found that they were all gone, I don't know if he would run out to find them, Liu Chu was worried that he would pounce on them.
"Liu Chu!"
Just as Liu Chu was thinking, a slightly surprised voice sounded, Liu Chu looked up and found that it was Wei Suo, but he didn't expect to meet him here.
"What about the others? Did you see that?" asked Liu Chu.
"No, I've been alone since I escaped, I haven't seen anyone else, and I haven't met you until now. Wei Suo shook his head in frustration.
"It's okay, let's go back and have a look first, maybe the old dean will go back, with the old dean here, we will be safe." ”
So, Liu Chu and Wei Suo walked back together, and when they entered the city, the two made a simple disguise, and when they returned to their residence, they saw Luo Yongcai's personal army Zhengsun Zhenghao leading people to guard the door.
"Team Sun, is the old dean inside?" Liu Chu wasn't sure if the people who assassinated them last night were related to Sun Zhenghao, but now in broad daylight, there were people coming and going on the street, even if it was really Sun Zhenghao, he didn't dare to do it to himself on the street, so he went up directly to ask.
"Ah, you're back, where have you been? General Luo is going crazy, and people are being sent all over the world to look for you. Sun Zhenghao exclaimed when he saw Liu Chu and Wei Suo.
"Quick, I'll take you in to see General Luo, and the old dean is also inside. After Sun Zhenghao finished speaking, he directly took Liu Chu and them in.
After entering, Liu Chu saw the old dean and Luo Yongcai with sad faces.
"General, old dean, look who's back!" Sun Zhenghao said with a voice of surprise.
The old dean looked back and found that it was Liu Chu and Wei Suo, and immediately became excited, grabbed the arms of the two, and asked about the whereabouts of the others.
Liu Chu and Wei Suo glanced at each other and shook their heads, they didn't know the whereabouts of the others, they ran separately.
"Did all ten of you run away, what happened last night?" asked the old dean with a nervous expression, and at the same time a little blamed himself, these twenty young people, but the future of Great Wei!
Liu Chu glanced at the corpses wrapped in white cloth on the ground, and fell silent, there were twenty soldiers on duty here that day, and there were thirty corpses on the ground, which means that the ten young people who did not rush out with Liu Chu and them died.
Five days later, Emperor Wei received a secret letter recounting the attack on Liu Chu and their casualties.
The exact number of casualties is uncertain, but based on the 10 bodies found at the scene, it is tentatively estimated that more than half of the casualties were killed or wounded.
The emperor's pupils shrank, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out......
