Without the servant leading them, s.h.i.+ Qingxue and s.h.i.+ Yuechu spent much time finding the backyard.
But the backyard was quiet. There were two people on the ground, and a strong b.l.o.o.d.y smell permeated in the backyard.
"Sis, sister..." s.h.i.+ Yuechu was almost scared into tears, and she grabbed s.h.i.+ Qingxue's hand, trembling, to stop her from going forward, "Let's go back!"
There were dead people. She didn't want to be here!
s.h.i.+ Qingxue refused to leave, and stabilized s.h.i.+ Yuechu's hand, "Don't be afraid. Let me go there and see what happened. You stay here first."
She walked there cautiously and observed the environment. Neither of them was breathing, but their blood was warm. So they should be dead just a moment ago.
s.h.i.+ Qingxue carefully observed the direction of the blood stains, she picked up the quiver on the ground and stood up to go out, "I'll go around to the alley behind. You wait for me here."
"Sister, don't go! I'm scared!" s.h.i.+ Yuechu hurriedly grabbed her and refused to let her go, "There, there are dead people. Aren't you afraid? Let's not play any more! Let's just go back!"
She was a lady raised in the boudoir anyway. Even though she looked bold in normal days, she would still be scared when someone was really dead.
s.h.i.+ Qingxue still looked calm on her face and comforted her, "When I was young and the s.h.i.+ Army stayed in the capital city, my grandpa and father both took me into the military camp, and they even sieged the bandits, which was much more horrible than this. But I'm safe! So don't be afraid, and just stay here. It will be okay soon."
s.h.i.+ Yuechu still wouldn't like to let go of her, and cried aggrieved, "Then you stay to accompany me! Or we can go get help from others together! We are both weak girls. If there is really an a.s.sa.s.sination, we can do nothing to help. So let's not mess it up!"
At this time, she could still calmly a.n.a.lyze their roles. s.h.i.+ Yuechu didn't seem that useless!
s.h.i.+ Qingxue thought, "If she were alone, she would definitely go forward to see it, but now there was s.h.i.+ Yuechu with her. She brought her out, and what if something really happened to her, she couldn't take the responsibility for the result."
After thinking about it, she had to nod, "Well, let's go to the officer first..."
Just then, the sound of a metal collision came from a distance. It was very weak, but it was still captured by s.h.i.+ Qingxue.
Her look became serious, she couldn't care so much. She said in a low voice, "Don't move. I'll come back soon after I take a look."
s.h.i.+ Yuechu looked at the back of s.h.i.+ Qingxue who left quickly, her spine became cold for a while, especially when she felt the freezing wind coming behind her. She was horrified and trembled, and hurriedly chased after her.
"Sister, wait for me. I'll go with you!"
The alley behind was much more noisy than the backyard.
A group of men in black and a group of men in casual clothes fought extremely fiercely with swords and knives. And the three men whom s.h.i.+ Qingxue saw in the private room were in the group of men in black.
And their goal, the Crown Prince Mo Junyu, was covering his left shoulder and leaning against the wall, his face was pale. Black poisonous blood flowed out of the wound and stained the clothes in front of his chest, which looked horrible.
There was a person blocking in front of him. When he saw anyone trying to breaking through the siege, he waved his hand out, and those in black were suddenly frightened and retreated again.
"Wow, that's awesome!" At the beginning s.h.i.+ Yuechu was so afraid that she covered her eyes and didn't dare to watch. After seeing this scene, she was completely shocked.
However, s.h.i.+ Qingxue frowned deeply, because she recognized that the person blocking in front of Mo Junyu was Shen Luo, who was supposed to be in the house of the s.h.i.+ Family.
How did the two of them appear together?
But the situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to think more about it. Three men in black rushed and stabbed towards Mo Junyu regardless of their lives. Although Shen Luo stopped two of them, there was still a man attacking Mo Junyu from the back.
"Be careful!" s.h.i.+ Qingxue instinctively lifted her arrow and drew her bow, and shot the arrow without thinking.
The sharp arrow moved away from the string so quickly that everyone had not reacted yet, and there was a screech.
The sharp arrow shot through the man's right wrist, and the man in black couldn't even hold the sword and fell to the ground.
All people were stunned, since they didn't expect this sudden arrow. Shen Luo reacted the fastest, and he waved at the man in black moaning on the ground and ended his life.
Three of them were resolved all at once, but Shen Luo didn't feel relieved at all, instead he was afraid. G.o.d! Why did he maybe, probably, or definitely see s.h.i.+ Qingxue here?
This was not a joke. All the a.s.sa.s.sins were fighting regardless of their lives, only to take Mo Junyu's life. The situation was extremely critical. s.h.i.+ Qingxue, as a weak girl, broke in. Wouldn't it kill him?
If something happened to s.h.i.+ Qingxue, Mo Junyang would peel his skin off!
How much Shen Luo wished he had seen an illusion? However, this illusion didn't only pierce the a.s.sa.s.sin near Mo Junyu with an arrow, but she also shot three arrows and pierced their right wrists. If those men stood together, the points where the arrows pierced on the wrists might be the same.
Later, the "illusion" even ran all the way to them. She first glared at Shen Luo and then asked, "What happened to Your Highness?"
Mo Junyu's consciousness has fallen into a semi-faint state, he could barely saw the person in front of him. But he couldn't make a sound.
Shen Luo had to answer on his behalf, "The poison has not yet been urged out, then he is trapped again. I temporarily made him take the detoxification pill, but he should be checked carefully after we escape from this danger."
s.h.i.+ Qingxue smiled, "Since so, then we should talk about it after we escape!"
She deliberately emphasized the words "talk about it", which suddenly made Shen Luo raised gooseb.u.mps. He wanted to explain, but s.h.i.+ Qingxue pulled out a sharp arrow and blocked in front of them, so Shen Luo could only shut up in fear.
Even though s.h.i.+ Qingxue was able to shoot with great precision, she couldn't resist their attacking regardless of their own lives, let alone...
The arrows would run out!
s.h.i.+ Qingxue originally picked up other's arrows, and there were not many left. She shot several arrows constantly, and at this moment, she only had one last arrow in her hand. What should she do?
"Do you only have these useless cowards? It's been so long. Why hasn't anyone gone to find help?"
After s.h.i.+ Qingxue was forced to shoot the last arrow, she had no other choice!
She wasn't good at short-distance fight at all. If someone stabbed her again, she could only hide.
Not knowing if anyone could see through her mind, next moment, another sword stabbed towards her face.
She hid subconsciously, but the sword seemed to have its own consciousness and still came for her as if it wouldn't let her go.
"Sister!"
"s.h.i.+ Qingxue!"
Everyone yelled in unison, when s.h.i.+ Qingxue closed her eyes, she felt a little depressed. Well, even if I was reborn, I still couldn't stop myself from minding others' business. This time I made myself killed again!
However, the expected pain did not occur, but it was quiet around her and even the sound of fighting disappeared.
s.h.i.+ Qingxue opened her eyes, and then she was stunned. After a while, she murmured, "Mo Junyang."
In this afternoon with the sunset, in the environment where a thick b.l.o.o.d.y smell rushed into her nose, the severe cold wind was blowing. Mo Junyang was wearing a black coat and standing in front of s.h.i.+ Qingxue with a sharp sword in his hand. He looked cold. With the blood on his sword, he looked even more murderous.
He was like the G.o.d of War, and was unstoppable.
s.h.i.+ Qingxue wasn't back to consciousness for a long time. Mo Junyang frowned, "Are you injured?"
s.h.i.+ Qingxue shook her head in surprise.
Mo Junyang checked again and made sure that Qingxue was really not injured. Then he turned to look at the a.s.sa.s.sins who were still resisting.
His eyes became cold instantly, "Kill!"
One word, like the call of G.o.d of Death, straightforwardly sentenced the a.s.sa.s.sins to death.
The guards who were guarding them received the order, all of them changed their looks, and stepped forward with intentions to kill.
After a short time, the a.s.sa.s.sins lay on the ground messily.
"Junyang, leave one alive!" Shen Luo knew that Mo Junyang cared about nothing when he was ferocious, so he quickly reminded him.
If all of them were killed, how would they investigate?
But with his words, those a.s.sa.s.sins knew that the mission had failed and there was no chance to escape, they began to attack like suicide in attempt not to be caught alive.
Mo Junyang didn't seem to notice the current situation, he just stared at s.h.i.+ Qingxue closely, as if she would run away once he didn't look at her.
s.h.i.+ Qingxue felt uncomfortable and pulled the corner of her clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Dr. Shen is talking to you. Why don't you answer him?"
Mo Junyang then raised his eyes and squinted at the last man in black who was still standing. When he saw that he was preparing to draw his sword and suicide, he instantly flipped a golden nubble.
The man in black couldn't move. Let alone suicide, he couldn't even blink his eyes.
He looked up at Mo Junyu, who was unconscious, he frowned and asked, "Is he still not detoxified?"
Shen Luo said in his heart, "Do I have time?"
However, in addition to s.h.i.+ Qingxue, there was still another person who saw what had happened. That was s.h.i.+ Yuechu, who was looking at him excitedly at this moment. He didn't dare to talk casually, and could only glance at her.
He wanted to remind Mo Junyang that there was still an outsider here, but Mo Junyang didn't respond. However, s.h.i.+ Yuechu looked excited and came forward saying, "Are you Dr. Shen in the house of the s.h.i.+ Family? I heard of you from others before. You only waved you sleeve and killed so many people just now. You are really powerful!"
Fine, Dr. Shen accidentally had a little admirer.
s.h.i.+ Yuechu kept talking excitedly and didn't stop. Her eyes were blinking. She made Shen Luo had no chance to explain, even when he wanted to.
Mo Junyang thought she was annoying and flipped another golden nubble.
This time it was more straightforward. s.h.i.+ Yuechu fell asleep right away.
Shen Luo stared at him, "..."
Mo Junyang, you were so rough. Did your s.h.i.+ Qingxue know about that?
Absolutely, s.h.i.+ Qingxue also glared at him. But before she spoke, Mo Junyang gave her a glance again, "I haven't talked about what happened just now with you. You stay there."
s.h.i.+ Qingxue, "..."
What happened?
Wasn't it just that she didn't estimate her ability and showed up to be the hero and almost killed herself?
s.h.i.+ Qingxue was frightened in one second, and obediently lowered her head, not saying anything.
Then Mo Junyang asked Shen Luo again, "Haven't I asked you to detoxify him today? Why is he still poisoned and even injured?"
Shen Luo also felt wronged, and said helplessly, "I don't want this to happen either! The poison of His Highness was a bit complicated, and I didn't expect it before I came here. I was planning to write and fill the prescription for him. But this attack happened as soon as we went out of the backyard.
Speaking of which, you should take the blame! If it weren't for you..."
Shen Luo shut his mouth with Mo Junyang's stare, but s.h.i.+ Qingxue seemed to have captured some information and asked immediately, "Why would the Crown Prince get poisoned? Why is he hiding it? What is going on?"
