Chapter 199 Shouldn't be dead
As the Tenth Master approached, he heard these words and instantly forgot all his previous annoyances. "Great! I've been wanting to go hunting for a while now." The first time they'd set out, the two brothers had intended to go hunting, but they'd been tied up by their fourth brother. Then they'd encountered a pack of wolves, and then things kept happening one after another, completely extinguishing any desire to go hunting. Now that things were a bit more peaceful, they could finally go for a good time.
Jiu Ye only said, "If you hunt a rabbit, send it to Xiao Si's wife. The spicy rabbit meat she made is so delicious that I can't forget the taste even now."
When the Fourth Master heard the two of them say this, he also had some ideas.
When I asked the guards to go hunting two days ago, I heard them say that they had seen a white fox.
If I hunt a white fox, I can make her a hand warmer cover. Yesterday I saw that her hand warmer cover was already worn out. It looked so pitiful. She was so old but she was reluctant to replace it.
The Fourth Master was thinking about something and unconsciously walked to the small path. He subconsciously frowned and looked around, but he didn't see anything.
The Fourth Master shook his head. Could it be that he had been too tense recently? Seeing that this place was suitable for assassination, he became inexplicably tense.
Given the current situation in Jinyang, who would have the time and energy to do this?
Just as the Fourth Master was shaking his head and laughing, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound.
"Fourth brother! Be careful!"
"master!"
People rushed towards the fourth brother from all directions, but they were still far away from him.
The long arrow broke through the air.
The Fourth Master felt a chill in his heart and subconsciously turned sideways, but was unable to avoid it.
At the critical moment, his wrist subconsciously blocked his chest...
Bang...
The sharp arrow was blocked by the Fourth Master's arm.
With a snap, the black barbed arrow fell on the compacted snow, shook twice, and then became quiet.
The Fourth Master looked carefully and saw that the tip of the sword was dark and eerie. It was obviously a poisonous arrow that wanted to kill him with one blow!
The Fourth Master didn't bother to think about how he blocked the short arrow. He just gave orders with a stern look in his eyes: "Northwest direction, chase."
As he spoke, he drew his bow and shot an arrow at a white figure in the distance.
He squinted his eyes, looked around, and shot the second arrow.
"Fourth brother! Are you okay?" Jiu Ye was very fast. He picked up the short arrow through the handkerchief, his face looking extremely ugly.
The Fourth Master stretched his arms and said, "It's okay."
Jiu Ye handed the arrow to Buyu and said, "Go back and have the imperial physician take a good look at it."
"Who is so cruel?" Master Shi frowned tightly, "He wants to kill Fourth Brother!"
Everyone around gasped.
As they were talking, Buyan and a guard each brought two men in white clothes and approached them.
"Master, the man has been caught."
The two men in front of him both looked to be in their thirties. One of them was hit by an arrow in the left shoulder, and the other was stabbed in the leg. Both of their white clothes were stained with blood.
To prevent the two from committing suicide, Bu Yan removed their jaws.
"Master, you haven't shaved your head yet." As soon as these words came out, not only the Fourth Master, but also the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master looked unhappy.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were only two types of people who did not shave their heads.
One is a woman, and the other is the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty.
The Qing dynasty had been relatively stable in recent years, with few reports of rebellion. Unexpectedly, these rebels had become active again, even daring to assassinate the current emperor's son. Everyone's expression was solemn.
The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Take them back and send people to seal off the area. There must be more than just two people."
......
When Wenjiu got the news that the Fourth Master had been assassinated, he was making canned food with Xiaojin in the space.
A batch of fruits came down, but we couldn't finish them and couldn't take them away, so we thought of making some canned food and jam to store them.
In addition, there were two jars of wine in total, which were all given to Doctor Liu. Wen Jiu's own stomach was still craving for more wine, so he fermented a few more jars.
"What did you say?" Wenjiu accidentally dropped the peach in his hand and stared at Xiaojin.
"Master, judging from the fluctuations in the spiritual weapon just now, the Fourth Master has been attacked." Xiao Jin frowned and said, "After an offensive spiritual weapon recognizes its master, it will automatically activate the protection function when it is under serious threat. I sensed that the protection function has been activated."
Wangcai was wagging his tail and eating a peach on the ground. These days, whenever Wenjiu and Wangcai were together, he'd often throw him into the space. Now, it seemed as if Wenjiu had raised him even bigger, his fur a shiny black, making him look even more terrifying.
However, at this moment, it stuck out its tongue to look at the warm wine, circled around her, and even rubbed against the corner of her skirt. Its former majestic appearance was long gone.
On normal days, Wenjiu would have given it more bones to eat, but now he couldn't care less about it. He just stared at Xiaojin and asked, "Is Fourth Master in trouble? Can you confirm that he's safe?"
Xiao Jin said: "The Fourth Master should not be dead."
Warming wine: "......"
Xiao Jin quickly explained, "Yes, I can confirm that the owner of the spiritual weapon is still alive. As for whether he is injured or not, I don't know."
Wenjiu could no longer sit still in the space, so he came out.
Dashao is almost recovered now. He came to serve you this morning. When he saw that Wen Jiu was awake, he immediately brought him a cup of tea.
"Girl, have a drink of water."
"Go and ask where the Fourth Master is now?" Wenjiu took the water and took a sip.
Dashao nodded, went out immediately, and came back after a while.
"Miss, Eunuch Su said that the prince has gone out of town to see a patient."
Wen Jiu was a little worried, so he put on his cloak and went out. He ran into Liu Fu Doctor and Liu Taiyi.
"How are you, young lady?" They both clasped their fists together.
"Are the two doctors well? This is..." Wen Jiu asked with a smile. He and the Fourth Master lived in this room. The Fourth Master was usually not here during the day. I guess they came to look for him.
"This...Miss, to be honest, I am really at my wit's end, so I thought of coming to you for advice." Doctor Liu said with some embarrassment.
Wen Jiu was surprised: "What happened?" But his heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened to the Fourth Master?
After thinking about it, she gave a negative answer. If the Fourth Master was really injured, the two imperial physicians would not be so calm and composed. Besides, she was not a doctor, so it was useless to ask her.
The doctor from the Liu Mansion continued, "It's about Liu Yu."
Wen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then listened to the doctor from the Liu Mansion say, "Young lady, you also know the importance of Liu Yu. Before returning to the capital, he must not get into any trouble. The prince entrusted Liu Yu's health to me. But there have been some problems recently.
Liu Yu isn't trying to commit suicide, but he's having trouble eating. He'd eat the food sent to him earlier, but he'd vomit it out after a while. He's getting weaker and weaker. The imperial physician and I have tried a few different prescriptions, but with little effect. We've even had the kitchen send him a few different meals, but that hasn't helped. That's why I'm here to ask if you have any advice..."
