Chapter 187 Nian Xi, I regret it
She was stunned for a few moments before she reacted.
Pei Jian is not dead.
Qin Lang also stood up by holding on to the tree. He had just collapsed due to exhaustion.
His calf was injured and he couldn't use his left leg to walk.
Nian Xi said, "You sit down first, or go to the direction of the carriage, I will bring Pei Jian over."
No one knew if there would be a second wave of assassinations. They no longer had any guards around them, so the wisest thing to do was to leave quickly.
Qin Lang agreed.
Nian Xi quickly walked in the direction of his finger.
If she had seen the corpses all over the ground when she got off the carriage, she would have been so frightened that her legs went weak and she would have fallen down. But now she no longer had the time or mood to feel those panic and fear emotions. She just wanted to find Pei Jian as soon as possible.
I kept moving forward, one step deep and one step shallow, until I heard a faint voice, "Nian Xi..."
Pei Jian was sitting in front of her right, holding a sword in one hand with the tip of the sword hanging down. His face was pale and half of his body was lying in a pool of blood. Nian Xi couldn't tell where he was injured because the sticky blood almost covered all the wounds.
She worked as a helper in the Liuji Hall, and in a situation like this, the most important thing to avoid was losing too much blood. Nian Xi almost subconsciously wanted to pull off the hem of her dress and help him bandage the wound.
But her hands were shaking so much that she had no strength left and could not tear her clothes.
"I'm still alive."
Pei Jian watched her movements quietly. His face was pale and almost lifeless. His eyes were a little distracted, but he was still in the mood to comfort her, "Don't be afraid."
"Nianxi, don't be afraid."
Nian Xi knew that if Pei Jian still had a bit of strength, if he could sit up, if his injuries were not that serious, he would not just sit there.
Pei Yan, you always do more than you say.
He didn't move because he really couldn't move anymore.
Nian Xi quickly wiped away the tears welling up in her eyes.
Crying is the most useless thing at this time.
She used the dagger Pei Jian gave her to tear open his clothes and tied them around his wounds.
The rest of the injuries were minor, with the most severe being the one below the right chest, where the skin and flesh had been exposed and blood was constantly oozing out. If it had been a few inches later, Pei Jian would have already...
But the current situation is also very bad.
Nian Xi pressed the wound under his right chest and wrapped the torn cloth around it. Her light-colored dress was soon stained with blood, and her original color could not be seen.
With the smell of blood filling her nose, Nian Xi said nothing as she tied the cloth strip tightly behind him.
Pei Jian's breathing was heavy. He let Nian Xi do whatever she wanted and was in the mood to joke, "I used to swear to protect you, but I always put you in danger. I'm so sorry."
Nian Xi's nose was sour. Her own clothes were not enough, so she went to a nearby place to get a dagger and tear off the clothes of the person lying on the ground. "You are so talkative now. Stop talking."
Pei Jian wanted to force a laugh, but he had already used up all his strength with every breath, so he couldn't even laugh. "I'm afraid if I don't say it, I'll never have another chance."
"Nianxi, I regret it. I broke my promise and I let you down. I don't want anything anymore. I will go back to our little house. I will never make you angry again. I have actually read the note you wrote..."
He spoke incoherently, all over the place, and every word sounded like he was mad, but every word hit people's hearts, causing heavy pain. So many past memories belonged to Pei Jian and Nian Xi.
Tears welled up in my eyes instantly, blurring my vision once again.
"Shut up!"
She didn't want to hear that.
Nian Xi roared.
She seldom spoke so loudly, which surprised Pei Jian for a moment.
Pei Jian felt his vision blurred, and everything in front of him was doubled. It was as if all the blood had been drained out of him, and he was breathing in less than out. He watched Nian Xi busying herself for him, and his body was in extreme pain, but he lost all feeling.
“You’re so pretty.”
In fact, Nian Xi's head, face and body were all covered with coagulated blood, and she didn't look pretty at all. But Pei Jian seemed to see Nian Xi at that time, in the study room filled with spring light, her eyes filled with happiness and satisfaction, and she smiled at him tenderly.
That’s great, Nianxi.
That was a great time.
Nian Xi bandaged the deeper wounds on his body and wanted to help him to the carriage. Given Pei Jian's current condition, he had to see a doctor as soon as possible.
But she was frail and concerned about Pei Jian's injuries, so she didn't help him up for half a day.
Thanks to Qin Lang who dragged his injured leg over, the two of them supported Pei Jian and worked together to get him to the carriage.
Pei Jian was tall and slender, half a head taller than Qin Lang. When he was helping people get into the carriage, Qin Lang's leg injury worsened, leaving several bloody footprints on the carriage. Nian Xi asked him to get into the carriage as well, and she drove the carriage herself.
Pei Jian's face was pale and he was already in a semi-comatose state.
Now among the two injured soldiers, Nian Xi has become the one who should stand up.
She said to Qin Lang, "Talk to him, don't let him sleep, let's go to the clinic now."
This was not the time to show off, so Qin Lang agreed and asked, "Do you know the way back to the capital?"
"Know."
In the past six months, she has often come to Liujiguan, and she roughly knows how to get to the capital.
Qin Lang sat down with his injured leg, looking at Pei Yan with half-closed eyes, "Pei Yan, you have really made it big now, you must hold on! You are such a hero, which woman would not love you? I tell you, you will live a long life in the future, with children around your knees, don't sleep! Otherwise, your wife and children will all belong to someone else!"
Pei Jian thought Qin Lang was very noisy.
He felt very tired. He wanted to frown and sneer at him, but he just didn't have the strength. Besides, was he lucky enough to have a wife and a child?
"Really?"
"Of course." Qin Lang gritted his teeth and said firmly, "We are now friends who have risked our lives for each other. How can I lie to you?"
Nianxi pulled the reins and could hear the conversation between the two people in the carriage. Tears kept falling, and she didn't care to say anything. She took a deep breath and drove the carriage forward.
When people are in desperate situations, their potential is always unlimited. She had never driven a carriage before, but she actually walked out of this area and saw the city gate. As more and more people came, she knew that they were all saved.
Nian Xi was in a frenzy at the moment, covered in blood. She didn't care about the looks of passers-by and just wanted to send Pei Jian to medical treatment as soon as possible.
However, when approaching the inner city gate, a group of soldiers were blocking there.
Nian Xi has nothing to worry about at this moment. The sky is big, the earth is big, and human life is the most important.
She held the reins tightly, did not slow down, and did not waste time talking to these people. She just wanted to send Pei Jian back to the city as soon as possible. Qin Lang, who was sitting in the carriage, also said to her, "Go ahead."
But it didn't work in the end.
A soldier ran forward and did something unknown. The horse neighed and raised its front hooves. The carriage shook violently and finally stopped at the city gate.
After a while, a man with a clear breeze and bright moon approached from the side.
It was Lu Wensheng.
