Although the words are simple, they make sense.
"Oh? Brother Lin really has the duty of a subject. What reward do you want for your contribution this time?" Xiao Huang was sure that his plan could be concealed from Chen Tang and Yun Hui, but he was not sure that he could conceal it from the man in front of him.
He had never met such a person before. Just by looking at each other, it was as if he had seen his inner thoughts revealed in front of others.
Regardless of whether this person is useful or not, such a person cannot be kept!
"What's going on?"
"Ah!! What are you doing?!"
"Catch him!"
While they were greeting each other, something unexpected happened to the escorted assassins. The escorted people fell to the ground one after another, and only the leader took the opportunity to break free and rushed over, pulling out the guard's knife.
Everything happened in an instant. Everyone thought that the assassin was going for Xiao Huang. The guards went to protect him, but the knife turned and stabbed Lin Su who was standing aside.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Xiao Huang's lips curled up. Lin Su glanced at him and looked sideways at the blade that was so close. Although the blade was fast and his internal force was strong, it was not a big deal for him at the moment.
What really surprised Lin Su was not the blade, but the figure that suddenly blocked his way.
His body staggered as he was attacked, and Chen Tang's arms tightened suddenly. A strong and bloody smell filled his nose.
Peacock, who always loved beauty and feared pain, looked up even though his face turned pale, and said, "Why don't you hide?!"
He forgot.
Lin Su pulled him away from his body and supported him, then faced the assassin who had attacked again with one hand after missing the target with his first strike. He dodged the blade sideways and disarmed the assassin with just one move.
The knife flew out of his hand, but Lin Su threw it directly to another place where people were watching the show.
Xiao Huang was originally annoyed when he saw Chen Tang risking his life to help block the knife, but he was caught off guard when he saw the tip of the knife pointing directly at his chest. If it pierced his chest, he would not be able to survive even if he had several lives.
He can't die!
Ordinary people may not have the ability to avoid danger in a crisis, but Xiao Huang is able to pull the person next to him to help him block the knife. No matter who it is, dying for him is worth it.
But the figure stood in front of him, and when the knife went straight through the figure's shoulder blade, Xiao Huang met Yun Hui's extremely stunned face.
The shock and strangeness in that look pierced his chest.
He swallowed his saliva for a rare moment and suddenly looked at the man who had already stepped on the assassin, only to receive a look filled with coldness and malice.
Lin Su's foot was enough to sever the assassin's meridians. He rarely got angry, but today he felt a surge of rage for some reason.
All life is precious. From conception to birth to growth, it takes countless efforts and hard work. Lin Su cherishes life, so his hands are rarely stained with blood, but this does not mean that he will not kill.
The assassin still had a breath left and could no longer get up. Lin Su picked up Chen Tang, cleared the table next to him and let him lie on it.
"Lin Su, am I going to die?" Chen Tang's breathing was a little weak, but he was still talking.
The injury on his back could not be seen through his clothes, but blood was already dripping down his back from the hem of his clothes. Such a large amount of blood must have injured the aorta. Lin Su's most serious estimate was that his spine was injured.
The clothes at the back were torn apart, the golden thread broke into pieces, and the usually fair back was now a blood-red, terrifying sight. Lin Su checked it and breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that the spine was not injured. He took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "Don't talk. You'll be fine as long as I'm here."
"Well... I believe you." Chen Tang felt a little drowsy with the pill in his mouth, but he was instantly awakened by the sudden stimulating feeling in his mouth. He could only feel an extremely stimulating taste between his mouth and nose. "Pah, pah, what is this?! It hurts!!! What are you doing!"
"Don't move if you don't want to have a scar on your back." Lin Su applied the ointment produced by the system to him. Otherwise, with the medicine of this era, he would not be able to save this man's life even if he tried his best.
After all, it is impossible to just stop the bleeding and perform blood transfusion with current technology.
If you spend star coins, you will naturally get good medicine. The ointment is a little irritating when it stops bleeding, but it is very effective. The wound that was almost gushing out blood slowly stopped bleeding. It just takes some time to fully heal.
He tore off Chen Tang's snow-white undergarment again and bandaged his wound. This set of clothes worth a thousand taels was completely ruined. Although Chen Tang regained consciousness, the fatigue caused by excessive blood loss did not ease. But even though his mind was still a little dizzy, he could still see the scene on Xiao Huang's side.
Although it was just a glimpse just now, he also saw the scene of Xiao Huang pulling Yun Hui to block the knife.
"Zi Yu, Zi Yu... call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician quickly!" Xiao Huang shouted while holding Yun Zi Yu.
The guards hurriedly carried the assassin leader and the corpses away. Someone hurriedly responded and went to call the imperial physician. Xiao Huang lowered his head to check Yun Hui's injuries, but felt his struggle.
Yun Hui's right shoulder was covered in blood, staining his snow-white clothes even more frighteningly than the one in Chentang. Although he was in so much pain that he wanted to die, what was more terrifying than death was the person in front of him.
He had never thought that someone would risk his life to protect him, let alone think that someone who had just risked his life to protect him would use him to block a knife in the blink of an eye.
"Zi Yu, listen to my explanation." Xiao Huang's mind was buzzing. Everything now was beyond his expectations, but the more it was at this time, the more he couldn't say the wrong thing.
He was able to make such a plan because he cared about Yun Hui. Everything had been going smoothly before, except just now.
"I was confused. I thought it was someone else. If I had remembered it was you, I wouldn't have done that," Xiao Huang explained anxiously. "Zi Yu, you saw it too. If I hadn't pulled someone else away at that moment, I would have died. The knife was thrown by Lin Su. He wanted me dead. Zi Yu, I just acted on instinct."
Yun Ziyu looked at him with an increasingly unfamiliar gaze. If Xiao Huang hadn't said that and had simply apologized, Yun Ziyu might have continued to be his friend, because it was understandable for people to protect themselves in a life-threatening situation. But it was him and someone else who was taking the blame...
This man treated human life with horrible contempt. Yun Hui had died once and had seen how treacherous people were, but he had never doubted Xiao Huang before, simply because he was also a legitimate son and he was also in trouble. He thought they shared the same suffering and would be able to empathize and understand each other. Even just now, he had intended to block the knife for him and repay the life-saving grace with gratitude, but who would have thought that someone else would have gotten there first.
Now it seems that he really doesn't know this person very well.
"Thank you for your explanation, Your Highness. Brother Lin, please give me some medicine." Yun Hui looked at Lin Su who had already bandaged Chen Tang. Even though it was this man who threw the knife just now, he could understand that he was so anxious and distressed about Shen Tang that he didn't see the direction clearly.
