Chapter 45 Blocking the Knife
The man in black opened his eyes wide and lowered his head, looking at the dagger on his chest in disbelief, then slowly fell down, dying with his eyes open.
Huo Xifei's wildly beating heart slowed down a little. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Yuan Ziyu's arm, and pulled her behind him. With another sword, he killed the man in black who had been stabbed by Yuan Ziyu just now. He turned around and looked Yuan Ziyu up and down. If he hadn't made a quick decision and thrown out the dagger just now, this little girl would have been injured or dead.
"What were you thinking about just now?" Huo Xifei's voice was a little stern. He felt his heart was still beating violently. The thought that Yuan Ziyu might be injured made his chest feel suffocated.
Yuan Ziyou looked at Huo Xifei's angry expression, pursed her lips and looked at him aggrievedly: "I was wrong!"
"You'er, I don't blame you!" Huo Xifei's voice softened. Yuan Ziyu's expression made his heart soften: "I'm just worried about you!"
"Yeah, I know!" Yuan Ziyu smiled at Huo Xifei.
Huo Xifei was distracted by Yuan Ziyou's smile and wanted to reach out and rub Yuan Ziyou's forehead, but in the end, he thought that they were outside and it would be bad to do anything inappropriate, so he instructed: "You go and rest first, I'll help those people!"
As he spoke, he raised his sword and rushed towards the remaining men in black.
"Hey!" Yuan Ziyu also wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Qingying and Qingzhi.
"My second young lady, please don't go. The prince is here. Come and rest. Are you hurt just now?" Qingying and Qingzhi looked Yuan Ziyu up and down again with concern. They only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Yuan Ziyu was not injured.
Thinking of the medicine powder just now, he suddenly became nervous: "Second Miss, that medicine powder..."
"It's okay. The person probably took the wrong thing in a panic. The powder is not poisonous!" Yuan Ziyu said hurriedly.
"That's good!" Qingying and Qingzhi completely relaxed.
Huo Wan also hurried to Yuan Ziyu's side. After making sure she was not injured, she burst into tears and threw herself into Yuan Ziyu's arms: "Sister You, I was scared to death!"
"Okay, okay, I'm fine!" Yuan Ziyou hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry!"
"Yeah!" Huo Wan hiccuped and choked, looking at Yuan Ziyu with her red eyes, which made Yuan Ziyu feel heartbroken.
Yuan Zitong was furious at Yuan Ziyou's safe return. She couldn't understand why Yuan Ziyou had been sprayed with drug powder, but nothing had happened to her at all? She had seen the man in black about to kill her, yet Huo Xifei had saved her!
Thinking of the doting that Huo Xifei had just seen on Yuan Ziyu, Yuan Zitong felt a dull pain in her heart. She tightly grasped Lian Qiao's fingers. Lian Qiao gasped in pain, but dared not cry out in pain because of Yuan Zitong's gloomy expression.
At this time, except for those who were unable to stand up due to weak legs and those civilians who were stabbed to death by the men in black, almost everyone who could run in Chong'an Street had run away.
The fight between Huo Xifei and Xuan Shaoqing was nearing its end. More than ten masked men in black were almost killed, leaving only one survivor who was knocked unconscious by Huo Xifei and dragged in his hand.
"You're really risking your life! Look, look, you're bleeding again!" Ji Huaixuan anxiously looked at Xuan Shaoqing's bloody right shoulder and said, "Hurry back. I'll bandage you up again to stop the bleeding."
Xuan Shaoqing said nonchalantly, "It's nothing serious, just a minor injury!"
"A minor injury?" Ji Huaixuan was furious at Xuan Shaoqing's nonchalant expression. "Who calls a wound from a giant insect a minor injury? Don't you know how serious your injury was?"
"I said I'm fine, so I'm fine..." Xuan Shaoqing's originally calm expression suddenly changed when he looked at Yuan Ziyu: "Be careful!"
A masked man in black suddenly appeared from nowhere, with the dagger in his hand pointing directly at Yuan Ziyu.
Yuan Ziyu's reaction ability was extremely sharp now. He sensed it the moment the black-clothed masked man rushed over, and quickly pushed Huo Wan and Qingying Qingzhi to the side: "Get out of the way!"
Then, he prepared to take out his dagger to fight with the masked man in black.
Yuan Zitong, who was sitting on the ground not far away, saw the masked man in black rushing towards Yuan Ziyu. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly stood up from the ground with strength from nowhere, and rushed towards Yuan Ziyu: "Second sister, be careful!"
I don’t know if it was because my legs were still sore or for some other reason, but I tripped and put my hands on Yuan Ziyu’s back, pushing Yuan Ziyu towards the man in black.
Yuan Ziyu was trying his best to guard against the man in black, but he was not prepared for Yuan Zitong's push and crashed into the dagger in the man's hand!
"Sister You!"
"Second Miss!"
"You'er!"
Several screams rang out from different directions. Qingying, Qingzhi and Huo Wan rushed over hastily. Huo Xifei even dropped the unconscious man in black in his hand and tried his best to hold Yuan Ziyu. However, they were always one step short.
No one noticed the smug sneer on Yuan Zitong's face as he lay on the ground.
Yuan Ziyu looked at the dagger so close to him, and didn't care about tearing Yuan Zitong apart. He just tried to turn his body to the side to protect his vital parts.
The man in black twitched the corners of his mouth cruelly under his veil. The hostage to be exchanged did not need to be intact.
"Puff!" It was the sound of vomiting blood!
Xuan Shaoqing stood in front of Yuan Ziyu and took the knife blow from the man in black. At the same time, he used all his strength and slapped the man in black's chest with a palm, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood!
The man in black was knocked more than a meter away by Xuan Shaoqing's palm, fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood. Knowing that he had lost the initiative, he looked at Xuan Shaoqing and Yuan Ziyu hatefully, held his breath, used the Cloud Ladder to climb onto the roof, and staggered away.
Yuan Ziyou didn't expect that it was Xuan Shaoqing who blocked the knife for him. He hurriedly supported the staggering Xuan Shaoqing and said, "Prince Xuan!"
Xuan Shaoqing turned his head to look at Yuan Ziyu and chuckled: "You really know me!"
Yuan Ziyu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know how to respond for a moment. He just pursed his lips and said, "Thank you!"
"Shaoqing, what happened to you?" Before Xuan Shaoqing could say anything, Ji Huaixuan rushed over. Seeing the dagger stuck in Xuan Shaoqing's left shoulder, he angrily said, "Hurry, I'll take you back! You're seriously injured."
The dagger has pierced a deep hole. We must find a doctor immediately.
"It's okay!" Xuan Shaoqing regained his indifferent expression and let Ji Huaixuan and Yinfeng support him. Only the slight trembling of his eyebrows showed that he was in great pain at this moment.
Huo Xifei also rushed over. Seeing that Yuan Ziyu was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and bowed to Xuan Shaoqing: "Prince Xuan, Huo Xifei owes you a favor, and I will repay you in the future!"
Xuan Shaoqing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where did Master Huo come from?"
"You'er is Huo's fiancée!" Huo Xifei stood beside Yuan Ziyu.
The two men looked at each other silently, but they understood each other's eyes in an instant!
