Chapter 43: Assassination on the Road
"Awu, get in the carriage!" Yi Si had already drawn his sword while speaking. He also had selfish motives and someone he wanted to protect.
A man in black emerged from the woods and leaped onto the carriage.
Yi Si stood in front of the carriage and thrust his sword forward. A man in black fell to the ground, and others rushed forward to fight.
"Master! Their martial arts skills are not low!" Yi Si shouted loudly into the car, reminding Xie Jingyu,
At this time, Awu in the car was already scared out of his wits. He had never seen anything like this before. Long swords kept stabbing in from the top and sides of the car. Xie Jingyu protected Wei Qingcheng and Awu and dodged them.
"Walk!"
Being too passive in the car, Xie Jingyu protected the master and servant and hurriedly got out of the car. Without a weak spot, Yi Si dragged his long sword and swung quickly in the air, killing them with every blow.
The men in black were caught off guard and dispersed in twos and threes, attacking Wei Qingcheng and the others again.
Xie Jingyu flew forward, grabbed the black-clothed man's neck with his big hand, pressed it to the side fiercely, and stabbed the short knife into his chest. The black-clothed man died instantly.
The others took a few steps back, terrified by Xie Jingyu's strength.
Yi Si dealt with the few in front of him and ran to support Xie Jingyu. The two of them attacked the man in black from the front and back.
The remaining men in black saw that the situation was not right and stabbed themselves in the neck with their knives.
"B4, leave him alive!"
Before they could stop them, the men in black had already fallen to the ground one after another. When Yi Si went to check, they were all dead.
"Jingyu! Are you not hurt?" Wei Qingcheng was so frightened just now, and he couldn't help, so he could only hide and not hold them back.
"It's okay," Xie Jingyu habitually stroked Wei Qingcheng's head, raised his hand and saw that it was covered in blood, so he put it down again, thinking it would scare him...
Wei Qingcheng noticed the inconsistency in his movements, pulled out the clean silk from her arms, took up Xie Jingyu's bloody hand, and wiped it gently bit by bit, as if she was afraid of hurting him.
"Your Majesty, we found the token," Yi Si searched the body and found a token, and handed it to Xie Jingyu.
"It's the Jinyiwei, it's him," the word "Chen" was engraved on the token. It was the order from the leader of the Jinyiwei. He was the only one in the whole Longyuan who could dispatch the Jinyiwei.
"Heh," Xie Jingyu laughed sarcastically. This man didn't even bother to hide his feelings now. The so-called deep love between father and son was really a joke. His son, who had lived like a pig and a dog since childhood, naturally couldn't compare to that position.
The hand holding the token trembled. This was the last time. I let you go for the last time. I would just repay your kindness...
"No need to check, bury the body in the woods and continue on our way."
He gave an order to Yi Si, and before Wei Qingcheng could wipe his bloody hands clean, they were held back. Blood and sweat stuck to their palms, staining the white hands brightly.
"Yi Si, let me help you!" Seeing Yi Si busy dragging the corpse, A Wu bravely went to help.
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Awu," Yisi turned around and smiled at him.
So weird! Why are you dragging the corpse while smiling so brightly!
Ah Wu also dragged a man in black by the leg into the woods, but he couldn't move him after pulling for a long time.
"Brother Awu, you should hold him under the armpits like I did, so it will be easier to exert force,"
Ah Wu imitated his movements and dragged himself along, staggeringly following Yi Si into the woods. He did not dare to go in alone.
"Brother Awu, can you drag it now? My method works, right?"
Yi Si quickly dug a big pit and threw the body into it.
"Bury it quickly, stop talking nonsense!" Awu pretended to be fierce, with his hands on his hips, directing Yisi to bury the body. Really, seeing that he was tired alone, I wanted to help him, not to see him show off his skills in dragging corpses,
There was nothing to brag about in such a thing. He would rather never bury anyone in his life. But the way Yi Si protected him was still quite handsome.
After this incident, Yi Si became even more alert, fearing that someone would intercept him on the road again.
Ah Wu did not dare to take a nap, because once he fell asleep he would dream about those dead people.
There was no inn nearby, so the four of them ate some dry food. At night, Xie Jingyu and Yi Si took turns to keep watch, and they spent the night in the carriage.
When it was a little brighter, he drove the carriage again and started on his journey. There were several holes in the top of the carriage, so it was leaking air.
Wei Qingcheng had a slight fever from the wind, and he dazedly hugged Xie Jingyu's waist. The sunlight shone in through the gap, and was reflected on his flushed cheeks.
Muttering: "Jingyu... don't be afraid..."
Xie Jingyu touched his forehead. Even when he fell asleep, he was still thinking about comforting himself. He was really lovable.
Feeling comforted on her forehead, Wei Qingcheng rubbed his big palm.
"My Lord, we are entering the city!"
Awu called to the inside of the carriage and pulled Yisi's clothes to let him watch the sunrise.
"Well, find an inn,"
Xie Jingyu lifted him from his lap, hugged him and patted his back: "Get off the car, Qingqing, if you don't wake up, I will carry you down."
"Um... No, I'll go by myself," Wei Qingcheng rubbed her eyes, feeling sore, her legs and waist were uncomfortable, and her feet were a little swollen.
The carriage stopped at a well-decorated inn with a plaque that read "Heaven on Earth".
Xie Jingyu asked Yi Si to go get the doctor, while A Wu rode his horse to the backyard.
"Sir! Would you like to stay overnight or have a meal?" The child came to greet him enthusiastically.
Xie Jingyu took out some silver from his belt and said to the boy, "Go to the third room upstairs. The hot water will come soon. We will have lunch at noon."
The child took them to the front desk and handed them three wooden signs.
With a standard smile on his face, he said, "Okay, the third, fourth, and fifth rooms on the right side of the upper floor are all ready for you!"
"You can take a shower later, and then have a good sleep," Wei Qingcheng walked to the corner of the stairs, and seeing that there was no one around, she hugged Xie Jingyu's arm and hummed to him.
"Wait a minute before going to sleep. Yi Si has gone to ask the doctor to come in. Wait until he comes to see you before going to sleep, okay?" Xie Jingyu put his arm around his waist and pushed the door open with one hand.
"Okay, then I'll take a bath first. My husband, please wash me and serve me. I'm so tired..."
Xie Jingyu saw that he was being lazy, so he sat on the bed with his arms around him and pinched his soft waist: "Do you really want me to wash?"
Wei Qingcheng hit him twice, her sleepy eyes almost closed: "Oh, it's just a simple wash, I'm really tired, can you wash it for me?"
Xie Jingyu heard the person delivering hot water coming outside the door and said hello.
Then he let Wei Qingcheng lean on the couch: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I'll wash you, and I'll serve you!"
I searched for some clean clothes in the packages they brought, and waited until the water delivery person left.
After removing the screen, he threw the soap nuts into the water and rubbed them. Bubbles appeared in the water, and he threw a few Chinese medicines into the water. He placed the comb on the partition.
After everything was ready, he took the confused person in his arms and walked to the bathtub.
