Chapter 149: Rain of Arrows at Midnight
Zhuo Yu's arrival made Jun Huolan and Mo Yunzhu smile. They looked at Zhuo Yu as if he were a treasure, which made Zhuo Yu feel that their eyes were too passionate and a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Zhuo, I'm so glad you can come." Mo Yunzhu said with a smile.
"You also brought some wine. Looks like we can get drunk tonight." Jun Huolan also smiled. He always thought that Zhuo Yu was a good person.
Lan Yan smiled and said, "Why did you come only now? If you didn't come, I would have to go see you tonight, otherwise I would be afraid that something might happen to you."
"You come so late, you should drink three cups of wine first!" Ji Xingyun immediately encouraged.
Seeing everyone's welcoming eyes, Zhuo Yu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and then started clinking glasses and drinking.
For the rest of the time, everyone talked, played cards and drank until the New Year's Eve party was over.
Mo Yunzhu asked Jun Huolan to rest early, after all, he still needed to take good care of his body.
Lan Yan and Ji Xingyun were both drunk and staggering, so the guards sent them home. Although they were told that they could stay in the palace, they were afraid that their families would worry.
Zhuo Yu also drank a lot, but he was very sober. He stood at the door and watched Mo Yunzhu arrange carriages to send Lan Yan and Ji Xingyun back. She turned her head and looked at Zhuo Yu.
"I, I didn't come here in a carriage. I walked back." Zhuo Yu was a little embarrassed. After drinking, he felt that Mo Yunzhu became even more beautiful.
"Mr. Zhuo. I have a carriage. I'll take you back first and then I'll go back." Mo Yunzhu naturally had something to say to him.
"Ah, no, no, it's okay for me, a grown man, to go back alone. You guys should go back and rest early." Zhuo Yu was startled and quickly waved his hand and left.
"Mr. Zhuo, I have something to tell you." Mo Yunzhu said immediately.
Zhuo Yu was stunned. When he turned around and saw that she was serious, he could only nod and get on the carriage of General Mo Yunzhu's mansion.
"Well, I'll take you home, and then I'll go back by myself when you get home." Zhuo Yu said immediately.
Mo Yunzhu couldn't persuade him and had to agree.
Yuan Qing drove the carriage and Chang Teng sat on the handlebars.
Inside the carriage, Mo Yunzhu, wearing a large cloak, looked at Zhuo Yu who was sitting opposite her.
Since the interior of the car was dark, it wasn't too embarrassing.
"Miss Mo, what do you want to tell me?" Zhuo Yu's heart beat faster, not knowing what Mo Yunzhu wanted to say to him.
"Thank you for not holding King Lan accountable." Mo Yunzhu smiled. "Back then, he had no choice but to steal the herbs in Chen State."
Zhuo Yu was stunned and looked up at him. With his inner strength, he could see Mo Yunzhu clearly in the dark, let alone when the distance was so close.
"Is that all?" Zhuo Yu thought it wouldn't be such a small matter that he had to talk about it so late.
Mo Yunzhu took a deep breath and was about to pull the blood jade from her neck when Chang Teng outside suddenly shouted, "Be careful!"
The sound of an arrow breaking through the air came to his ears, and the horse was startled and turned upside down.
The carriage was about to overturn. Zhuo Yu grabbed Mo Yunzhu's arm and blasted the side box of the carriage open with one palm, taking Mo Yunzhu with him and flying out.
As soon as he flew out of the carriage, the carriage overturned and countless arrows did not stop.
In order to protect Mo Yunzhu, Zhuo Yu shot arrows at the two of them as soon as he came out.
His internal force exploded, suddenly carrying Mo Yunzhu upwards to dodge.
Zhuo Yu suddenly groaned, and when Mo Yunzhu heard the sound, she knew that Zhuo Yu had been hit by an arrow.
The next second, Zhuo Yu threw her under the eaves.
"Go!" At the same time he swung his sword and the man fell down. Arrows were flying around him, but fortunately they were all blocked by his sword.
As soon as Mo Yunzhu was thrown down, she immediately rolled down to relieve the force of the fall. Seeing the rain of arrows all over her head, her face became extremely cold.
On New Year's Eve, just after midnight, some people wanted her to die.
But now I think I was targeted early this morning and was ambushed on the way back to the General's Mansion.
It was said to be slow, but in fact it was fast, the arrow was already heading towards Mo Yunzhu.
"Be careful!" Zhuo Yu was trapped with an arrow stuck in the side of his thigh.
Chang Teng knocked Yuan Qing down and escaped from the carriage, otherwise Yuan Qing would have become a hedgehog.
The horse turned into a hedgehog and fell to the ground after running a short distance.
Judging from the number of arrows, Mo Yunzhu felt that there were at least thirty assassins.
Chang Teng rushed over with a sword, but the distance was a bit far, so he naturally couldn't save Mo Yunzhu.
Zhuo Yu saw a sharp arrow flying towards Mo Yunzhu's head. He was furious and screamed in panic, ignoring any defense and rushing towards Mo Yunzhu.
At the critical moment, Mo Yunzhu used the soft whip at her waist to create a protective wall in front of her.
Several arrows were shot away and Mo Yunzhu retreated under the eaves.
"Don't worry about me! Protect yourself!" At the same time, Mo Yunzhu saw the two people rushing over and ignored the arrows shot at them, and she was so scared that she screamed.
Zhuo Yu's eyes suddenly changed when Mo Yunzhu danced with the silver whip, but he didn't have time to think about it because he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder again.
If he hadn't saved Mo Yunzhu, he wouldn't have been hit by the arrow. He groaned in pain again, then cut off his own arrows and rushed to the roof.
Soon there was a scream, and the man in black rolled down from the roof and died instantly.
Chang Teng immediately flew up and chased after several men in black.
Mo Yunzhu couldn't fly to the roof. She was standing in the dark and heard a voice saying "retreat". Then she heard countless footsteps and they quickly disappeared.
"Mr. Zhuo!" Chang Teng called out from the roof.
Mo Yunzhu rushed out and asked anxiously, "Chang Teng, how is Master Zhuo?"
Chang Teng carried Zhuo Yu down. Zhuo Yu was covered in blood, but still conscious.
"Stop the bleeding first!" Mo Yunzhu immediately took out a silver needle and inserted it into the places where Zhuo Yu was stabbed by two arrows to stop the bleeding.
Zhuo Yu stared at Mo Yunzhu, making Mo Yunzhu feel a little guilty.
"You, you are a female thief." Zhuo Yu said slowly, it was an affirmative sentence.
"Don't talk yet, find a place to pull out the arrow." Mo Yunzhu frowned.
When Zhuo Yu saw that she did not deny it, he knew he was right and slowly closed his eyes.
The carriage was scrapped, and this place was closer to Prince Lan's Palace, so Mo Yunzhu decided to go back to Prince Lan's Palace.
Jun Huolan had just fallen asleep when he heard some noise outside.
He immediately got out of bed and ran out, and saw Zhuo Yu covered in blood and Mo Yunzhu with messy hair.
"Put the person on the bed, prepare hot water, white wine, scissors, and a medicine box..." Mo Yunzhu gave the orders quickly.
"Yun Zhu, what happened?" Jun Huolan saw Zhuo Yu's pale and handsome face and the arrows on his body, and was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"We were ambushed on the way back by at least thirty archers. He saved me. I'm really glad he got on the carriage this time."
Mo Yunzhu felt very guilty. She wished she had told Zhuo Yu earlier that she could protect herself, otherwise he would not risk his life to protect her.
"He's lost so much blood. I'll transfer some of my internal energy to him first." Jun Huolan said quickly.
"Don't waste time while your body is getting better." Mo Yunzhu quickly stopped him.
Hao Jiang immediately rushed over and started transferring his internal energy to Zhuo Yu to ensure that his body temperature did not drop. He couldn't let the prince transfer his internal energy to him.
