Chapter 238 Catching up
Alin raised the sword in his hand, intending to fight them directly if the situation turned out badly. No matter what, even if he had to sacrifice his life, he would protect Miss Song and save the young master!
"Miss Song, can you ride a horse?"
Song Ci was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood what he meant and nodded: "I will."
Ah Lin smiled. "That's good. If things get bad later, I'll stop them. You just go ahead. Go straight ahead, and then when you see an alley, turn left. Go through it and you'll reach the place where the young master is temporarily hiding. I think... the young master will be very happy to see you."
His last words were so soft that before Song Ci could hear them clearly, Alin had already moved. He stepped on the horse's back and pushed hard, and rushed out like a sword. One of the two foreigners was kicked to the ground by the huge impact, and the other picked up his weapon and started fighting.
Song Ci tightened the reins and frowned.
Alin was quite good at martial arts. After a few rounds, he was able to fight the two foreigners on equal terms and even had the upper hand. However, Song Ci could see clearly that the two men were using roundabout tactics. Knowing that they couldn't kill Alin immediately, they used aggressive moves to consume his strength. If the winner couldn't be determined quickly, Alin would be in danger if this continued.
"Hurry up and leave!"
Similarly, Alin, who was in the battle, was more aware of this situation. He roared at the two of them to leave quickly.
"Miss!" Tian'er urged.
Song Ci pursed her lips and stared at the fight between the few people. A Lin's physical strength was consumed very quickly and he was about to give up.
"Swoosh!" The sound of breaking wind.
"Ah! Shit!"
"Wow Darcy@!#@!#!@#!!"
“Swish, swish, swish.”
There was a continuous sound of breaking wind in the distance. Song Ci looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Lei Zi and Shitou.
The two men, along with the people behind them, each armed with a slingshot and loaded with stones, launched a continuous barrage at the foreigners. The stones inflicted immense pain on the two men, leaving them with bruises and swelling. One of them was hit in the eye, which was already swollen and blurry, and his attack became disorganized.
"Miss Song, we are here to help you!"
"Why are you back?" Song Ci asked in surprise. According to the time they separated, Lei Zi and Shi Tou should be halfway back to where they came from.
Why did you come back suddenly?
"We are here to help you!" Shi Tou laughed, "If you die, how can I get married in the future?" Shi Tou grinned.
Lei Zi looked focused. He picked up a weapon that fell on the ground and went forward to help A Lin. He took the time to look at Song Ci gently and said, "Go quickly. If you don't leave, what's the point of us being here? Go and do what you want to do." After he said that, he threw himself into the battle with full concentration.
Seeing that with their joining, the situation of the battle had turned around in an instant, Song Ci turned his horse around with peace of mind.
Without even turning back, he said, "Be sure to be safe!"
Lei Zi twitched the corner of his mouth, said nothing, and just hit harder.
The two of them galloped all the way according to the position that Alin said. Song Ci was a good horse rider, but he was just a savvy one and was not very skilled. After being bumped around a few times on the horse, he finally found the trick to sit still.
Her delicate hands became bloody and mangled by the friction of the reins, and her legs also felt severe pain from the friction. She couldn't help but groan, causing Tian'er to look at her.
"Miss, are you okay?"
"fine."
It had just rained, and the road was slippery, splashing water wherever the horse's hooves stepped.
There were no lights in the distance, and running on the deserted streets looked like a huge mouth that wanted to swallow everything.
"It's almost here."
The pain made Song Ci dizzy and the blood seeping from her palms made the reins slippery and difficult to hold. In order to avoid falling, she wrapped the reins around her wrists several times and finally managed to stabilize her body.
When they arrived at the place, Song Ci could hardly stand after getting off the horse, and his face turned pale.
Tian'er came to support her, but she refused, "Hurry up, go in, I'm afraid it's too late. I can still hold on, saving people is more important."
According to the trap they set, Pei Ji was the most important link. If he died, the plan would fail.
The consequences are unimaginable!
Tian'er went forward and knocked on the door. The courtyard was quiet. She lowered her voice and said, "Alin asked us to come."
Finally, there were some noises in the courtyard. The door opened a crack, and a pair of eyes stared at them intently. Seeing that it was the two girls, they frowned and asked, "Why did A-Lin ask you to come?"
"If you don't want Pei Ji to die, open the door for me now. It will be too late if you delay any longer."
"You're a doctor!"
"yes."
"I'll open the door for you right now."
As he spoke, three sounds were heard from inside the door. First, there was the sound of steel rubbing against each other, and then there was the sound of two wooden sticks being pulled away. The door was triple-protected.
"Miss, please come this way. General Pei...he is unconscious now."
As he spoke, Song Ci behind him paused, then began to run forward, "Hurry and lead the way."
Seeing her urgency, the person leading the way did not dare to be careless. He ran forward with the two of them at full speed.
Suddenly many generals came and asked, "Why are there two girls?"
"It's the doctor, summoned by A-Lin, to treat Master Pei!"
"Master Pei is saved!"
"Sir Pei is such a good man, he shouldn't die!"
People were talking all the way, and Song Ci was brought into a room. There was a pungent smell of medicine in the room. She smelled the same medicinal herbs that she had used to control the poison for Pei Ji before.
It has become so thick that it cannot be controlled. I think the situation has reached its worst point.
Under the thick curtains, a slender jade-like, almost transparent hand was placed on the edge of the bed, with thin knuckles. Song Ci's eyes were sore and tears almost rolled down.
When she finally saw the person lying on the bed, Tian'er gasped, "This..."
"Master Pei would have collapsed long ago and was injured. If it weren't for us, he, he..."
The guide couldn't continue speaking. His voice was choked with sobs and he almost cried. A seven-foot-tall man actually covered his face and cried bitterly.
Song Ci took a breath, her eyes cold, "Hurry up and ask someone to prepare some hot water! Is there any wine?"
"Wine, there's still some! But why use wine?"
"Put the dagger on the fire and bring some wine. I need to remove the rotten flesh from his body."
As soon as she entered the house, she caught a faint whiff of decay. As she got closer, she realized it was coming from Pei Ji. She suspected he was in need of medicine, and since he'd been poisoned, his wounds had probably rotted and started to stink. Even if the poison was cured, he wouldn't survive if the rotten flesh wasn't removed.
