Chapter 146 Brother Jingchen, hurry up!
Before Lu Xinnian could react, the candle in her hand was thrown away.
With a clang, the candle went out.
Blinding light leaked out from the cracks in the boulder, and a figure stood in front of her, blocking the glare.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The sound of an arrow piercing the air rang out, and with a "thud," a hidden arrow struck Xu Yiyan instantly!
"Hmm!"
Xu Yiyan lost his footing and fell straight down.
"Miss Lu, quick, hide! Zhao Zhao will be here soon!"
He stretched out his hands and braced himself against the stone walls of the dark passage, barely managing to steady himself.
Lu Xinnian quickly got up, turned around and ran away.
Xu Yiyan's arm was numb on one side, but he gritted his teeth and stood in the dark passage.
Those above heard the noise and knew that the two people in the dark room were still alive.
He drew his sword and charged down!
Seeing this, Xu Yiyan's hands, which were bracing against the stone wall, immediately showed prominent veins!
Just then, Lu Xinnian rushed up, holding a chair from the darkroom and shouting "Ya!"
"Master Xu, cough cough! Move aside!"
Lu Xinnian was choked by the thick smoke, but she didn't stop moving at all.
Xu Yiyan was startled, dodged to the side, and hurriedly took the chair from her hands.
"Miss Lu, let me handle this!"
He steadied the chair with one hand, braced himself with half of his body, and slammed upwards!
The guards were caught off guard by their sudden appearance and were caught off guard, their arms caught by the chair legs!
"Clang!"
The knife fell from his hand, and he was almost knocked down on the stairs!
But the guards knew martial arts, while Xu Yiyan and his companion knew none of them.
He gripped the chair leg with his backhand, assumed a horse stance, and stood firmly in place!
Xu Yiyan, with strength he didn't know he came from, slammed hard into the chair!
Fresh blood seeped from the wound, dripping down his arm!
Upon seeing this, the guards above drew their swords and went down!
The blade gleamed coldly, and Lu Xinnian was startled.
Ignoring the difference between men and women, she immediately hugged Xu Yiyan tightly from behind!
"Pfft!"
The sword pierced Lu Xinnian's arm, and blood gushed out immediately!
"Miss Lu!"
The two men were unarmed and injured, yet they still held on tightly to the chair.
In the narrow, dark passage, this solid wood chair became their lifesaver!
"roar!"
The roar of a tiger came from above, but the two guards made no attempt to flee.
Their mission is to ensure that the two people in front of them die here!
Ignoring his companion, the guard kicked out hard, sending both his companion and Xu Yiyan crashing down the stairs!
"ah!"
The three of them tumbled down together, and the guard thrust his sword forward, determined to take their lives!
"roar!"
In a flash, the tiger leaped into the cave and bit the guard's shoulder!
"Ahhh—"
Suddenly, the guards' shrill screams echoed from the secret passage!
The situation below was unclear, and Yun Zhao dared not go down to cause trouble, so he could only stand up there anxiously.
"Xiaoqing, hurry and save my third uncle! Uncle, Sister Lu, don't be afraid! Zhaozhao is here!"
Yun Zhao released the little green snake and shouted inside.
The three men were dazed and confused after the fall. When the other guard got up, he saw a huge tiger biting his companion's shoulder!
"Quickly, kill them..."
The companion was being torn apart by the tiger, making faint sounds.
The guards, disregarding the need to save anyone, grabbed their companion's sword and charged towards Lu Xinnian, who was closest to them!
"hiss!"
The guard felt a sharp pain in his wrist and flung the object in his hand away!
He threw the thing onto the tiger, where it hung directly.
When he tried to lift his sword again, his arm gradually stiffened!
That's a poisonous snake?!
There are poisonous snakes in this dark room?!
Soon, he felt himself becoming short of breath.
He tried to gasp for breath, but instead inhaled the thick smoke from the fire he had just set!
"Cough cough cough!"
Amidst the thick smoke and toxins, he quickly ran out of breath and collapsed to the ground, struggling in agony!
Wei Jingchen and the officials arrived, and Yun Zhao burst into tears.
She handed him the damp handkerchief in her hand: "Brother Jingchen, hurry up."
My uncle and Sister Lu are trapped downstairs by the assassins! Hua Hua and Xiao Qing are rescuing them!
"Don't go down! The rest of you, come with me to rescue them!"
Wei Jingchen took the handkerchief, gave a few instructions, and then quickly led his men downstairs.
By this time, thick smoke had filled the sealed room, and people could only be vaguely seen.
He covered his nose with a handkerchief and called out, "Third Master Xu, Miss Lu!"
"Cough cough cough, here!"
Xu Yiyan had injured his leg and could only help Lu Xinnian up with difficulty, coughing as he spoke.
"Hua Hua, come up here!"
Wei Jingchen went down, and since the tiger was down there, it was easy for it to accidentally hurt its own people, so Yun Zhao quickly called the tiger back up.
A moment later, a huge tiger leaped out of the secret passage, carrying a person in its jaws!
"Hey, Huahua, who did you bite?"
The man was blackened by the smoke, making it impossible to tell who he was, but he was dressed in the clothes of an official.
The tiger was biting his shoulder tightly, drawing blood, and his arm was almost torn off his body!
Yun Zhao was terrified and hurriedly stepped forward to make the tiger release its grip.
The tiger reluctantly opened its mouth, and the man fell to the ground as if dead, motionless.
"Not one of our own, right?"
"Waaah!"
The tiger responded, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, all thanks to Huahua!"
"Hiss~"
On the tiger's head, blackened by smoke, a small snake covered in ash poked its head out in dissatisfaction.
"Oh my, Xiaoqing, why are you so tanned? Are you alright?"
Yun Zhao quickly took out a water pouch from the small pocket on his chest and used the spiritual spring water to wash Xiao Qing's body.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Xiaoqing was thrown out and almost died from the fall, which made her furious.
"Really? Thank goodness Hua Hua caught you! Wow, our Hua Hua is amazing!"
Yun Zhao wiped away his tears and, with a sob in his voice, comforted the tiger and the snake.
When Wei Jingchen came up from the dark room, he saw Yun Zhao with a dirty little face, giving a bath to the green snake coiled on the tiger's head.
The tiger, covered in black ash, sat on the ground with a look of disgust.
Clear water flowed down from its head, leaving several streaks on the dark tiger's face.
"Pfft!"
One of the officials couldn't help but laugh.
This immediately attracted the attention of a man, a tiger, and a snake, which made him feel a chill run down his spine.
"Third Uncle!"
When Yun Zhao saw Xu Yiyan being carried up, he was so frightened that he ran away!
Wei Jingchen scooped her up by the waist, and looking at her face covered in grime like a cat's, he couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Don't rush,
The fire is too intense here; Hua Hua and Xiao Qing will frighten people if they stay here. Please take them to the west wing.
Your uncle and Miss Lu are both injured. I've had them sent over there; you should go and help them get treatment!
"Okay! Flower, quick, let's go!"
Yun Zhao struggled frantically, and Wei Jingchen gently patted the top of her head, comforting her, "Don't be afraid, I've roughly examined their injuries, and they're not in any life-threatening danger."
Wei Jingchen then placed her on the tiger's back and gently comforted her, "I will have Lu Xun guard the door, so you can focus on saving people."
His voice was gentle, and somehow, Yun Zhao's panicked heart gradually calmed down.
She nodded emphatically: "Yes, thank you, Brother Jingchen! Huahua, let's go!"
