Chapter 172 Arrow Wound
Although Pei Yian's fighting strength had recovered by more than half, it was still a bit difficult for him to deal with so many arrows alone.
Zhou Yayi, who was already safe, soon discovered something unusual. She could hear clanging sounds coming from inside, similar to the sound of swords and arrows falling to the ground. Master Pei had not come out yet, so he must have encountered some difficulties.
Zhou Yayi gritted his teeth and said to himself, he didn't expect to be so unlucky and be discovered, but he couldn't abandon Master Pei and run away. After all, the other party ended up in this state because of them.
What else could he do? They were outnumbered, and the combat power of his subordinates was not high. If they went in, they would die, and he couldn't just watch his men die.
Zhou Yayi looked at the fire starter in his hand. Although this might destroy some evidence, he did not want to put Master Pei in danger.
Anyway, there are quite a few flower lilies collected in that room. It would be better to get rid of all these poisonous things!
So, without any hesitation, Zhou Yayi threw the fire starter in his hand into one of the warehouses.
The wooden house, with the dried hibiscus flowers placed inside, easily caught fire, and the small fire became more and more intense.
Several guards who were originally hiding in the dark with arrows also appeared in the light, holding swords and heading towards the direction where Pei Yian was hiding.
Pei Yian supported his body, holding the sword tightly on the ground with one hand, and seemed to be getting more and more tired. His appearance made everyone misunderstand that he was at the end of his rope. Such a weak-looking person also made everyone relax their vigilance. Since the uninvited guest knew a lot, it was naturally impossible to leave him alive.
The man holding a sword and approaching Pei Yian step by step, his eyes were full of determination. With so many people, they couldn't do anything to a small thief? No one had been able to escape from this mansion!
You bold thief, prepare to die!
At the same time, several guards smelled something unusual in the air and discovered that one of the houses was on fire!
This is outrageous!
If the entire yard was affected, they couldn't even imagine how much damage would be incurred, nor could they imagine what kind of punishment they would receive, which they couldn't afford.
Helplessly, some people saw Pei Yian with no way to retreat and his weak appearance, so they relaxed their guard and ran to put out the fire.
Pei Yian looked up at the surrounding situation and found that half of the people who had surrounded him were gone. He thought that the house that suddenly caught fire was the work of Zhou Yayi.
There was a sharp gleam in his narrow eyes. Just as the other party raised his sword to chop towards him, Pei Yian dodged swiftly and left his original position.
What had been a done deal turned out to be a failure. The man looked very unhappy. Before he could recover, Pei Yian stood beside him like a ghost.
The astonishment and surprise on the man's face ended before it turned into fear, and that ugly expression was frozen there forever.
It happened so fast, in just a moment of breath.
Looking at Pei Yian again, he no longer looked like he was dying...
Everyone realized that this was a trap that lured them into it. They did not dare to be negligent and raised their alertness to the utmost, intending to come together to deal with this outsider.
Pei Yian didn't want to continue to entangle with others, so he sprinkled a handful of medicine powder from his pocket, turned around and planned to jump over the wall to leave.
One of the people who was planning to put out the fire saw Pei Yian trying to escape, so he took an arrow and shot in the direction of Pei Yian.
Pei Yian was not prepared for this arrow. Even if he wanted to dodge, he could only turn sideways. The arrow still inevitably landed on his back.
Even with an arrow feather on his back, he just frowned and jumped over the wall to escape without hesitation.
When Zhou Yayi saw the people coming out, he was relieved. As long as they could come out, he was glad and wanted to take them away from the area immediately.
But he saw Pei Yian was shot by an arrow. He was completely dazed. Before he could say a few words of concern, Pei Yian just said calmly: "Run!"
Now is the best time to escape while everyone is still not reacting. Once caught by those people, they will not leave anyone alive.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yayi also came to his senses. This was not a small matter, but a matter of life and death.
The most important thing right now is to escape, and he hurriedly left the area with his men.
There is a room nearby where he and his men meet. To outsiders, this is just an ordinary courtyard with people living there. Those people are already guilty, so even if they want to search, they dare not make such a big fuss. They are now in a safe area.
Just as Zhou Yayi guessed, the group immediately sent people to chase after Pei Yian after he escaped.
But those people were one step behind after all. When they went out, Pei Yian had disappeared without a trace. Those people looked at each other and went to look for him on every path, but in the end they found nothing.
Hiding and safe, Zhou Yayi finally had time to care about Pei Yian, "Master Pei, are you...are you...okay?"
Everyone present stared at Pei Yian nervously, as if they wanted to see flowers on his face.
Pei Yian shook his head to indicate his answer. This little bit of pain was still bearable for him.
Even this level of injury is still minor.
Although Zhou Yayi really wanted to take people to the clinic to find a doctor, he knew that this was not the right time and he could only wait until daytime when there were more people.
He couldn't just ignore the wound on his body, so Pei Yian had the arrow pulled out of his body and then simply bandaged it with a clean cloth.
After the night passes, dawn comes.
Pei Yian found Old Man Yan with the clues he had found and the wounds on his body.
Seeing this, Old Man Yan immediately stood up and helped Pei Yian treat the wound on his back. At the same time, he couldn't help but say a few words, "You are really not taking care of your body! Don't you know that you have been poisoned before?"
Fortunately, the poison in this guy's body has almost dissipated, and fortunately, there is no poison on the wound, otherwise Old Man Yan couldn't imagine the consequences.
Seeing that the boy didn't take his advice seriously, he sighed helplessly and suddenly thought of another point, "Does Miss Ji know that you are like this?"
After saying this, he really saw a moment of unnaturalness on the other person's face.
Pei Yian didn't want to tell Sui Niang about what he had experienced. Things had already happened and it would only add to his troubles.
Besides, he didn't like the other person's worried look because of him, so he planned to hide it from others.
