Chapter 98 Assassination Attack Hits the Brink of Death
Awu pulled Yunsi towards herself, and using the momentum of the overturned carriage, the two of them leaped out of the opening in the carriage like cats, landing steadily on the ground.
Fang Yi also leaped into the air, drawing his long sword, a flash of cold light protecting the two of them.
Before they could even get their footing, a second wave of arrows arrived.
As dusk fell, they arrived with a chilling metallic sheen, their force several times greater than before.
Awu reacted extremely quickly, her hands like iron clamps, precisely intercepting the two arrows aimed at Yun Si's face.
The moment the arrow entered her palm, she twisted her wrist bone sharply, breaking the arrow shaft in two.
"Fang Yi, take my sister away!"
Awu roared and threw the broken arrow into the shadows with her backhand, while simultaneously kicking away another arrow.
Fang Yi swung his knife to parry, and with a few crisp clangs, sparks flew everywhere.
The arrow was incredibly powerful, making his hand go numb.
Before he could catch his breath, several more arrows came flying in quick succession, their arrowheads aimed directly at Yun Si.
Fang Yi gritted his teeth and held his sword in front of him to protect him, but his opponent possessed profound internal strength and his arrows were as fast as lightning.
In just three rounds, the long sword in his hand snapped in two with a "crack".
Immediately afterwards, two more arrows shot out, this time clearly aimed at Fang Yi.
Fang Yi was now unarmed; one of the two arrows struck his shoulder blade, and the other struck his abdomen.
He groaned and fell to his knees, his clothes instantly stained with blood, and he was powerless to resist.
"Fang Yi!"
At this moment, Yun Si felt extreme self-loathing.
Not strong enough to protect others, and even a burden to them.
The rain of arrows grew denser, and Awu used both hands and feet, deflecting one with her left arm and kicking another away with her right foot.
Her palms were cut by arrows and bleeding, but she dared not relax for a moment.
Soon, he had a large handful of broken arrow shafts in his hand.
This can't go on; they'll only be able to passively take the beatings.
"Sister, hide."
Awu pulled Yunsi along and ran deeper into the alley.
The three people on the roof frowned.
"Why is he so hard to kill?"
"No, my view is blocked, I can't see clearly."
"That little girl is too fast, what a pity."
"Stop talking nonsense. What if they run away? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
The group talked in hushed tones as they quickly caught up.
He looked relaxed and at ease, as if he were just doing something ordinary, without any hint of assassination.
However, the three of them couldn't help but get a little anxious as they kept missing their target.
Why is it so difficult to kill a weak woman?
"It's that little girl next to her who's difficult to deal with. She doesn't even have a weapon. I almost got killed by her just now."
The man's tone was incredulous.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in from behind.
"The boss is here!"
"Boss, are you going to do it yourself?"
The man who came next did not speak, but simply drew his bow and aimed at the target.
Based on their speed and direction of movement, the brain quickly calculates the distance and error.
put!
With a whoosh.
The sound of an arrow piercing flesh could be heard.
"Did it hit?"
"As expected of the boss!"
"Let me fire a few more arrows."
In the alley, Yun Si was pierced by an arrow near her heart, and blood was gushing out.
Ah Wu's pupils emitted a green light, her eyes were terrifying.
"elder sister!"
She screamed in terror, seeing the blood on Yun Si's chest, and panicked terribly: "Sister, don't die, don't scare A-Wu!"
“A-Wu”.
Yun Si was numb with pain, her consciousness gradually becoming hazy: "Go, you should go quickly."
Before she could finish speaking, two more arrows came flying at her, but A-Wu didn't dodge them; they both pierced her body.
"A-Wu!"
As soon as Yun Si opened her mouth, a large amount of blood gushed out.
Then, she fainted.
"elder sister!"
Ah Wu felt a helplessness, self-blame, and anger she had never experienced before.
She pulled the arrow out of her body, blood splattering everywhere, and then with all her might, shot it at the people on the roof.
Those people never expected that even though Ah Wu was so badly injured, she still had the strength to fight back, and that her attacks were both fast and accurate.
Two arrows were fired; one grazed the man in black's face, instantly disfiguring him.
The other one was inserted into the hair of the man in black next to him.
That shape looked particularly comical.
Although I wasn't injured, it was an absolute disgrace.
"You brat..."
"Stop cursing, the boss has already left. Hurry up and catch up to go back and report."
When A-Wu turned around to look at them, the last person who had followed them had already gone far away, so she didn't see who it was.
She had never met any of these three people before.
"elder sister!"
Awu wanted to rush up and kill them, but Yunsi's condition was urgent and could not be delayed. Ignoring her own injuries, she picked up Yunsi and ran quickly into the mansion.
Fang Yi also weakly got up and walked back with difficulty.
All three were injured, but Yun Si's injury was the most fatal.
Awu carried Yunsi back to the palace. Both of them were covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
Upon entering the Prince's mansion, the people inside were terrified by what they saw.
The servants quickly went to inform Granny Qian and Eunuch Decai, and then sent someone to the palace to inform Doctor Ji and His Highness.
Inside Qiwu Garden, the lights were on full display.
A large group of people were guarding the door to Yun Si's room.
Ah Wu was covered in blood, but she refused to leave his side.
Yun Si lay on the bed, lifeless.
If it weren't for the slight, almost imperceptible rise and fall of her chest, she would be no different from a dead person.
Upon receiving the news, Dr. Ji and Qin Ye rushed back as quickly as possible.
Seeing the scene before him, Qin Ye almost lost his balance. He walked from the door to the bedside, a distance of just a few steps, but it took him all his strength to reach Yun Si's side.
"Treat her!"
Qin Ye's voice was low and hoarse. The previous sentence was spoken in such a light tone that it seemed as if he was worried about frightening Yun Si.
But then, he couldn't help but shout in a trembling voice, "Quickly stop the bleeding!"
Dr. Ji was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward.
After checking it, he felt a chill run down his spine.
The princess is probably... powerless to reverse the situation.
This arrow grazed her heart, piercing her entire body and causing her to bleed so much. If the arrow isn't pulled out, she can hold on for a little while longer, but once the arrow is pulled out, she will surely die instantly.
But Dr. Ji dared not speak of such a cruel outcome.
What are you still standing there for?
Qin Ye's eyes were bloodshot, and he tried his best to control the emotions in his eyes. His voice was calm: "Treat her, give her the medicine, quickly!"
"Your Highness..."
Doctor Ji's hands and feet were ice cold. He took out some hemostatic medicine from his medicine box and, with trembling hands, haphazardly sprinkled it on Yun Si's wound.
Suddenly, he noticed that the blood was the wrong color.
"It's poison!"
He was terrified.
Given the current situation, is there any need to poison them?
Is this because they're afraid the princess isn't completely dead?
Qin Ye felt a wave of dizziness, his chest heaved with blood and qi, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Highness!"
"I'm fine. Show her the medicine. She can't die, Dr. Ji. You have to save her! You must save her!"
Qin Ye knelt in front of the bed, his face and eyes filled with fear and panic.
He felt like he had experienced this feeling before.
All he knew was that he couldn't... couldn't lose Yun Si again.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has already..."
"No, she won't die, save her!"
"…good."
Doctor Ji couldn't bear to say anything more, thinking he might as well try anything, so he fed Yun Si all the medicine that could heal her wounds.
Lanxin and Lu Yu cried their eyes out, while Awu stood motionless by the bed like a wooden statue.
It's all her fault.
She's useless!
She failed to protect her sister!
"A-Wu?"
Only then did Doctor Ji notice that A-Wu also had two bloody holes on her body.
"Quickly, take some hemostatic medicine too, and let me take a look at your injury."
"Need not."
A-Wu took a step back and refused, saying, "If my sister can't be saved, I'll die too."
"What are you saying?"
Doctor Ji sighed, "The princess is a lucky person and will be fine. If you don't treat her, and she recovers but you die, she will be heartbroken."
Ah Wu's eyes darted around, and suddenly she thought of something, exclaiming, "I have a way!"
