316 Encountering an Assassin
Song Yaoguang was seriously injured and fainted while lying on the ground. Que Du and Gao Wu were not seriously injured. Bai En, Bai Xi and others all had wounds of varying depths scratched by arrows on their arms.
Yun Yige's hair was messy, and she was holding the assassin's sword in her hand. The sword was dripping with blood. She was hit by the sword on her right shoulder. After throwing away the sword in her hand, she and Zhu'er half leaned on the broken carriage, with a sore forehead. Breaking into a cold sweat.
"Yun Yi Ge, who did you offend?" Que Du collapsed on the ground tiredly, leaning his upper body against the tree trunk. It was obvious that the main target of this group was Yun Yi Ge.
"It's me who has caused everyone trouble." Yun Yige looked at the injured friends and secret guards, and realized that Xuan Ming had secretly sent people to protect her safety along the way, and Yuze's skills were obviously extraordinary.
Anger burned in her eyes, who wanted to kill her?Everyone was hurt.
She pressed the wound on her right shoulder with her hand, climbed to the medicine box, took out the powder and applied medicine to everyone.
"Princess, let me do it." Bai En helped her sit down and took out different medicines from the medicine box to clean everyone's wounds according to her instructions. Gao Wu also followed Que Du's instructions to help.
After the wound was taken care of, Quedu, who had always presented himself as a noble prince, was now in a state of disarray. He looked at the dilapidated carriage and the frightened horses, and secretly thought that he would not be able to leave Yuze today and would have to buy another horse and prepare. The carriage is on its way again.
"Let's go and find a house nearby." Quedu patted the dust on his body, but the dirt on his sleeves couldn't be removed, so he kicked the tree trunk irritably.
This kick was filled with anger and was very forceful, causing the yellow fruit bamboo knots on the tree to fall to the ground.
"Ah!" He exclaimed when the fruit hurt his head.
Yunyi Ge was hesitant. If she moved into a nearby village, she was worried that assassins would come and bring disaster to the innocent villagers.
"Don't worry, at least there won't be any more assassins coming today." Que Du said, seeing the worry on her face.
Yunyige gave him a questioning look.
"The assassins who came today are from a well-known organization in the world. Do you know how much it costs to hire them? Even the richest master can't stand such a fire. Moreover, the secret guards following you are not jealous. , come to think of it, I have already fought with several waves of assassins."
Que Du pulled off the mask of the assassin who was lying in a pool of blood, and then took a look at the collar of his clothes. He saw the tattoos on it. These gangs charge a high price. After the mission failed, the news spread quickly, so naturally no more lives would be lost. Come to your door.
"Hey, did you drop the fruit?"
While several people were talking, a rough old man strode out angrily, glanced at the smashed fruit on the ground distressedly, pointed at Quedu's nose and cursed: "You bastard, do you know, these dozen The fruit can be sold for half a tael of silver! Our whole family is just waiting to use this money to buy food!"
The old man held a dry cigarette in his hand. He wore a straw hat on his head. He had dark skin and red cheeks. He looked lethargic. There was some stubble on the corners of his mouth and a pair of brown eyes sunk deeply into the eye sockets.
While he was cursing vigorously, Quedu suddenly felt pain in his right shoulder. He turned around and saw a seven or eight-year-old boy with two missing front teeth holding a slingshot to hit him. The boy was furious when he saw that he had been hit. He laughed "hehehe" again.
Just because this man kicked a tree, he won't be able to eat candied haws this year.Damn that stinky man!
"You bad old man, who are you calling a little brat? This is..." Gao Wu covered the knife on his butt and glared at the rough old man, unwilling to show weakness.
Que Du grabbed him and spoke nicely to the old man: "We will pay you for the fruit. If it is convenient at home, can you stay with us for one night? There is no inn nearby."
Several of them were injured and needed to find a place to have a good meal and rest.
Seeing that the old man was full of vigilance, Que Du continued: "The price is negotiable. We will definitely not live in vain. We will leave at dawn after we buy the horses and carriages."
Que was planning his journey. When he came out of the capital, he had already written to Yaowang Valley. Yaowang Valley had already sent someone to pick them up. When they left Yuze and passed Quanzhou, they should be able to meet the Yaowang Valley faction. The people who came gathered together.
"Seriously? Okay, come in with me! Liu Guan'er, put away your slingshot. If you hurt someone, I can't even afford to sell you!" The old man hesitated for a moment. Hearing that they were offering money, he weighed it. Deciding to let them live in his home, he glared at the little boy, raised his hand and slapped the little boy on the butt.
A group of people walked into the house. The house was not big, and the walls were probably blackened by smoke. There was a brown wooden table and a few benches in the center. Straw hats were hung on the walls. Several people came in, and the house looked... A little crowded.
"Hey, are we having guests?"
Liu Guan'er's mother, Xue, is of medium height, slightly fat, fair skin, slightly squinted eyes, and very kind.The silver hair on his head is half covered, and he is wearing gray and white coarse cloth clothes. He is very clean and tidy.When he smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed signs of age.
When she saw Yun Yige, her eyes lit up. She rubbed her hands on her clothes and wiped off the dust on Yun Yige's face: "This girl is so handsome! I have never seen such a handsome woman in my life." Girl!"
"Sorry to bother you." Yun Yige smiled at her. Zhu'er, Bai En and Bai Xi helped pour tea. She looked at the interaction between them and guessed that Liu Guan'er was their son, and perhaps he came from old age.
Que Du glanced at Gao Wu, who took out some broken silver and put it on the table: "This is money for buying vegetables and meat!"
Mrs. Xue said that she had given her too much, and the old man winked at him, warned her not to say anything she shouldn't, and put all the broken silver into his pocket.
Dried sweet potatoes, chili peppers, and dried corn are neatly stacked on the window frames and eaves.After Xue was busy for a while, he brought over sesame-flavored sesame seed cakes, stir-fried sweet potato roots, jade bamboo shoots and bracken, and a large bowl of fragrant corn soup.
"I'll go clean up the backyard in a while."
After everyone thanked them, they sat around drinking hot soup and eating cakes. Gao Wu muttered why there was not even a piece of meat. .
The last time they ate meat was a pheasant that the old man caught from the mountain last year.
Que was surprised. The nobles in the capital only ate large amounts of fish and meat, and threw away a whole chicken if they couldn't finish it. However, the villages and towns adjacent to the capital even stopped supplying rice and noodles.
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
Yun Yige also fell into deep thought. In places where there were disasters, the court allocated disaster relief funds. If the money was not put into practice, whose pocket did it go to?
……
On the other side, in the big house in the capital.
After Chu Wenrui received the news, she opened the note excitedly.
