Backhand

When both of them thought of this, Baili Hongyuan immediately turned his horse around.

If he was alone, he would not be afraid of fighting with many people from the West Wind Guard, but he is now with Qin Yousi.

He was a man who originally had no weaknesses, but now he has someone he must protect, so he can't take any risks!

Sure enough, after just a few steps, a large net fell from the sky. Baili Hongyuan picked up Qin Yousi, lightly tapped the horse's back, and flew to the side, landing steadily in the woods beside the road.

A group of men in black appeared on the forest path. Their crossbows, spears, swords, and long, medium and short range weapons were arranged very reasonably. It was obvious at a glance that they were well-trained people.

Baili Hongyuan placed Qin Yousi next to the big tree behind him and said calmly, "Sit still and don't move."

Qin Yousi knew how good his kung fu was, so she just needed to take care of herself.

The men in black moved quickly, firing the first round of arrows in an instant, followed by the spearmen approaching.

Baili Hongyuan took out his long sword. His sword moves were powerful and the impenetrable sword energy blocked the dense arrows. The man in black was forced to retreat again and again by his sword moves.

He was fighting one against ten, and men in black were constantly injured and fell to the ground, but there were always people to replace them. For a while, the situation was deadlocked.

Qin Yousi was worried. If Baili Hongyuan was alone, he would have broken out of the formation long ago. But because of her, he couldn't retreat or escape, so he could only fight against the black-clothed men's continuous attacks. Sooner or later, he would be trapped and killed.

The leader of the men in black also saw it, but his men had suffered heavy losses, and the assassination was not a long-lasting battle.

So, he untied the silk bag around his waist, took out two black balls and threw them out. In an instant, a cloud of smoke and flying rocks exploded on the left and back sides of Baili Hongyuan.

"□□! Sir, retreat quickly!" Qin Yousi shouted fearfully.

Baili Hongyuan no longer wanted to fight, so he retreated behind a tree, carried Qin Yousi on his back, and turned around to retreat into the woods.

□□ was allocated by the Ministry of War to the border defense forces for use on the battlefield, but Marquis Xichang dared to use it for his own personal use!

It is obvious that Xifengwei came here with the determination to take Baili Hongyuan's life, otherwise when he returns to the capital, all the evidence against Marquis Xichang will fall into his hands!

Qin Yousi leaned on Baili Hongyuan's shoulder and kept looking around.

The man in black was chasing her relentlessly. What was worse was that she felt something warm in her hand. Baili Hongyuan was injured by the gunpowder explosion, and his shoulders, back and waist were bleeding!

Qin Yousi no longer hesitated, took out a flare from his arms and shot it into the air.

The whistling arrow exploded in the night sky, shaped like a cold moon hanging high in the sky.

Qin Yousi whispered in Baili Hongyuan's ear, "Go toward the waterway."

Baili Hongyuan adjusted his route without hesitation.

The two men rushed all the way, and saw that the man in black was about to catch up, when suddenly a melodious whistle made by blowing bamboo leaves came from the woods.

Qin Yousi was overjoyed, put two fingers to his lips and whistled in response.

"It's Yue'er!" A man exclaimed in the woods. Although the voice was not loud, it could be heard from far away, which showed the profound internal strength of the person who spoke.

Qin Yousi followed the direction of the voice and shouted, "You are so slow, save me!"

Another dashing female voice echoed, laughing heartily, "How could I have waited until this day for you to ask for help? How bizarre! Let me see who has driven you to this point!"

As he spoke, two figures, one in red and one in white, flew out from the darkness of the forest, quickly rushed into the battle and stopped the pursuing men in black, and the situation was reversed in an instant.

Seeing that there were experts helping them, Xifengwei knew that they would fail today and planned to retreat.

Qin Yousi said: "Can't let him go!"

The woman in red was not having enough fun fighting, so upon hearing this, she immediately started fighting, but the man in black committed suicide one after another.

All those who came were death warriors.

The woman in red said disappointedly, "With just these few people, can they force you to ask for help?"

As he spoke, he returned to Qin Yousi and looked at the weak girl being carried by the tall man.

The man in white also came over, looked at her intently, and said to the woman in red in confusion: "Huh? It looks like Yue'er, but it's not Yue'er."

Qin Yousi met their inquiring gazes and said, "Sister Liuguang, Brother Fuying, I've been poisoned, so you don't recognize me?"

The man in white asked in surprise, "Are you really He Yue?"

These two people are siblings. The woman in red is called Liuguang, the eldest daughter of the Oujiang Boat Gang; the man in white is called Fuying, the young master of the Oujiang Boat Gang.

When they were young, their family suffered a misfortune and the boat gang's followers rebelled and killed their grandfather.

Liuguang fled with Fuying and met Heyue who was traveling with Taoist Xiwei to study. When he was dying, he was saved by them.

At that time, Qin Yousi was a small poison doctor in Liuquan Temple. His medical skills could bring people back to life, and his poison could make people die.

The brother and sister took refuge in Liuquan Temple for half a year, until their father regained control of the boat gang and came to take them back.

After that, the three of them kept in touch until five years ago, when He Yue suddenly disappeared.

They searched for Shangliuquan Monastery but could find neither Heyue nor Xiwei. Until a few days ago, they suddenly received a letter from Heyue, asking them to come to Yangcheng for help.

When old friends made an appointment, they naturally went, but they hadn't seen each other for several years. Although they looked similar, they could not see any trace of He Yue's former spiritedness in this frail girl, and they did not dare to recognize her for a moment.

Qin Yousi smiled at Fuying and said, "Of course it's me. You still owe me a boatload of Ou wine. You don't want to default on your debt, do you?"

"Ha," Fuying shook his head and said, "You, you, a person who is used to using poison, how did you get yourself into this state?"

"It's a long story..." Qin Yousi was concerned about Baili Hongyuan's injury and wanted to deal with it first before reminiscing with them.

Baili Hongyuan happened to say to the siblings at this moment, "Thank you both for your help, but the mountain wind is so cold that she can't handle it. Let's find a safe place and talk."

Qin Yousi couldn't help but look at him deeply. He was injured and still thinking about her illness.

After Xin Chen dealt with the bandits who besieged the inn, he also noticed Qin Yousi's signal flare. The people from the Supervisory Office quickly gathered together and chose a safe place to set up camp and deploy security.

Baili Hongyuan took the lead in putting Qin Yousi into a tent. Qin Yousi said anxiously, "Sir, your injuries need to be treated as soon as possible. If any debris or stones pierce your body, it might cause other illnesses."

Baili Hongyuan didn't want to trouble her, so he said, "I'll let the secret guards handle it. You can catch up with your friends."

Liuguang and Fuying were extremely concerned about Qin Yousi's situation, especially Liuguang, who was naturally loud and talkative. If they ignored her for a while, her problems would pile up. For a moment, Qin Yousi couldn't spare the energy to care about Baili Hongyuan.

The brother and sister from the boat gang originally only knew He Yue, and did not know Qin Yousi, let alone the affairs of the Qin family.

Qin Yousi simply said that her secular identity was the sixth mother of the Sang family. She was seriously ill due to poisoning due to the disputes in the harem and had been receiving treatment for the past few years. He simply concealed the previous events and focused on the revenge in Yangzhou.

Liuguang and Fuying are both children of the world. When they heard what the Sang family had done, they were filled with righteous indignation and felt very sorry for her experience.

The three of them talked for a while. Fuying saw that Qin Yousi was not in good spirits, so he forcibly took Liuguang away to let Qin Yousi rest.

As soon as the brother and sister came out of the tent, they met Taoist Xiwei who was returning from Liuquan Temple to get medicine.

When Liuguang and Fuying saw Taoist Xiwei, they jumped up to him and called out in unison, "Master Xiwei!"

Xiwei asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Liuguang couldn't wait to say, "We received Heyue's message three days ago and immediately rushed to Yangcheng. We saw Heyue's distress signal on the way here. We just saved her, and she's become so weak now. Master Xiwei, please accept me as your disciple instead!"

Xiwei tapped Liuguang's forehead and said, "Heyue taught you for me, so you might as well call her Master. Now that she's in such trouble, instead of feeling sorry for her, you come to steal her Mastership. You two are both heartless."

Liuguang said aggrievedly, "I just gave her our family's most precious Eight Treasures Pills. I saved her and you didn't even praise me, Master Xiwei, you are so biased!"

Xiwei shook her head helplessly. These kids used to love to get jealous and play around when they got together. Now it was rare to see some of the liveliness they used to have, which made the sadness in her heart dissipate a little.

Xiwei walked into the tent to visit Qin Yousi. Her face was even paler than when she was unconscious in the carriage because of the bloodletting.

Taoist Xiwei's face turned cold and he scolded, "You are really capable. You have tortured yourself into this state! How many lives do you think you have?"

Qin Yousi smiled bitterly and said, "Disciple knows his mistake..."

Taoist Priest Xiwei looked down at her and said seriously, "Heyue, if you truly know you are wrong, then stop thinking about revenge and follow me back to Liuquan Monastery to cultivate your Dao and nourish your body. The dead are gone, so you should live well to be worthy of your family. Okay?"

Her body could not bear the torment of excessive thoughts, worries and agitated emotions.

Qin Yousi shook his head apologetically: "Master, I live for revenge. Living in this world is meaningless to me. I will only suffer sleepless nights, and I will not be able to face my parents and relatives after I die."

Taoist Xiwei turned his head away and sighed. There was no point in persuading her and it was useless to say more. He could only take care of her as attentively as possible.

"What are you planning to do by calling Liuguang and Fuying here?"

Qin Yousi said, "I didn't know Baili Hongyuan would come in person. I was worried that something might happen to the Sang family, so I asked them to come and provide support. Besides, the Sang family's wealth is so huge, we can't let Xichang Hou and the Yan family take advantage of it."

Qin Yousi had just told the brother and sister about this matter. The Oujiang Boat Gang was very powerful, and it would not be difficult for them to take advantage of the opportunity to swallow up some of the Sang family's assets.

Fuying, believing Heyue was going to reclaim the family property, immediately agreed. As the young master of the Oujiang Boat Gang, he was incredibly popular with the gang and had already taken over most of the gang's affairs in recent years.

Seeing that Qin Yousi had even thought of a backup plan, Xiwei sighed, "How can you expect to get better if you keep worrying so much?"

She took out the tonic she had found from Liuquan Temple and fed it to Qin Yousi. Combined with the medicine Liuguang had given her before, Qin Yousi was almost full from the medicine.

After a night of hard work, everyone gradually settled down to rest.

Qin Yousi was unable to see the specific condition of Baili Hongyuan's injuries, and was still worried, so he dug out some medicines for treating burns and infections and got up to give them to him.

In Baili Hongyuan's tent, Gu Wu was picking out dirt and rock debris from his skin. If these things were not cleaned up, his wounds would not heal.

Because there was only a lantern and the light was dim, the lone wild duck came closer.

When Qin Yousi lifted the curtain and came in, he saw a beautiful woman almost lying on Baili Hongyuan's naked body.

Baili Hongyuan's muscular body was particularly eye-catching under the light, making the scene before him look somewhat enchanting.

Gu Wu was the most secretive secret guard. Qin Yousi had never seen her, and he didn't know that there was a woman among the people Baili Hongyuan brought to Yangcheng.

Qin Yousi was stunned for a moment.

No wonder she was not wanted to deal with it. It turned out that there was another Hongxiu in the tent. She was just worrying too much.

Baili Hongyuan looked up at her and saw that she was standing at the door without coming in. He asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Qin Yousi was at a loss as to what to do. He hurriedly placed the medicine bottle in front of him and said, "I'll give you some medicine."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Baili Hongyuan felt something was amiss and glanced sideways at Gu Wu. Gu Wu also looked embarrassed and whispered, "Superintendent, Miss Sang seems to have misunderstood."

Baili Hongyuan's guess was confirmed, and he immediately put on his coat and chased after him.
