Chapter 68, An Arrow
More and more guards rushed to the North Courtyard and began to fight back against the assassins in black.
The number of assassins in black has always been limited, and gradually they are out of reach. In particular, there are many heroes recommended by various counties at the scene, which is an enemy. There was also a brave and almost ferocious figure like Wen Chou, and many black assassins who had just killed on the terrace were forced back to the corner of the courtyard in a blink of an eye.
As for the arched assassin who was still crouching on the wall of the courtyard, he did not dare to release arrows because his companions were entangled with the guards.
In the end, only the black arrow girl, who is skilled and bold, even if her companion is close to the enemy, she can still be accurate and not mistakenly injured.
Soon, the government soldiers who came from the subsequent increase also had bows and arrows. Although they were below and did not have any advantage in the terrain, but Fortunately, the thief on the courtyard wall was clear at a glance and completely reduced to a lively target. However, these assassins still have no intention of retreating and continue to resist without fear of life and death.
Zu Zhao broke the arrow on his shoulder and saw that the situation in the North Courtyard was almost under control. He immediately turned around and ran to the stone pavilion in the south. Although the appearance of the government guard repelled most of the assassins in black and eliminated the crisis in the North Court, since it was the Taishou's instructions, he still went to Shiting to have a look anyway. Three steps and two steps, jumped onto the corridor leading to the stone pavilion and ran all the way.
Three or five figures were tilted on the corridor, and blood splashed everywhere. Some people were still twitching when they were hit by arrows, while others fell into the pool of blood and remained motionless. Most of these casualties were the attendants of the Taishou Mansion, both men and women, and even a few maids who had accompanied the eunuch's daughter before. The more he walked, the more he felt that the situation was not good. Then he only cared about receiving the enemy in the north courtyard. He didn't know when an assassin would circle around Shiting.
He ran up the steps in front of the stone pavilion and lifted the collapsed mantle. Zu Zhao saw a person behind the stone table of the stone pavilion. He didn't care about anything else and hurried forward to check, but saw that the man was indeed the girl who played the piano before.
Oh no! He sighed secretly and hurried to check the injury.
The girl was stabbed in the back, and a thin and soft Lingluo cut a cut from her back. In addition to the blood constantly overflowing from the wound, she could also see the white and pink skin like snow.
He tried to test the girl's breath, but luckily he was still breathing.
"Girl, girl." Zu Zhao hurriedly called twice.
The girl trembled slightly, and her long eyelashes opened.
Zu Zhao casually removed the mantle and helped the girl tie the wound. If these injuries were himself, he might be able to survive, but after all, the other party is just a weak woman. At present, she can only be sent to a safe place for treatment as soon as possible. He adjusted the girl's body position, exerted his arms and picked her up directly. In order not to touch the wound on his back, he could only hold the girl's front in his arms as much as possible and inadvertently put it together with the girl's tender chest.
Just as I was about to turn around and walk to the bottom of the stone pavilion, I didn't know that it was not over yet. There was a shout from the north courtyard:
"Quickly, catch the assassin!"
"She, she can fly! She can fly!"
"Idiot, that's a sleeve arrow tied with a rope sleeve. Chase her quickly and don't let her run away.
The noise did not go far away, but became closer and closer to Shiting.
Zu Zhao couldn't help but look back and suddenly found that a dark shadow was flying out of the north courtyard. The shadow held a rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was embedded in a beam of the south courtyard wall by an arrow and jumped on the wall. The stone pavilion is only about ten steps away from the courtyard wall, which is very close, but the person who came was the black arrow girl.
The black arrow girl stood on the wall of the courtyard. She ignored the guard in the backyard and stared at Zu Zhao angrily.
Zu Zhaoyu frowned and was very suspicious. The female thief didn't want to escape and dared to go deep into Shiting. What did she want to do? Should she continue to chase and kill Liu Taishou?
However, unexpectedly, the black arrow girl scolded Zu Zhao in a delicate voice: "You little thief, I'm going to teach you a lesson today to see if you dare to mind your own business."
Zu Zhao was shocked. It turned out that the other party was not going to chase and kill Liu Taishou, but pointed directly at himself!
Without waiting for a reaction, the black arrow girl quickly opened the arrow, almost without aiming, and shot an arrow directly at Zu Zhao.
The two sides gathered so close that Zu Zhao still held another girl in his arms. Not to mention that he could quickly avoid it, he could not even twist his body easily. The black arrow came instantly, and he could only lower his posture as much as possible to avoid the accidental injury of the girl in his arms. I know that every arrow of the black arrow girl will only shoot at the fatal point, and I'm afraid that this time it will really be difficult to escape.
The shoulder socket drilled my heart, and my whole body was almost paralyzed for a long time.
Zu Zhao was forced to take a few steps back by the impact of this arrow. He was originally hit by an arrow in his left arm, and now he was also hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, which can be said to be an injury. The arm softened, and the girl in her arms was about to fall to the ground. He could only concentrate his whole body on his right hand and slide it directly to the girl's waist to hold it.
Although he was hit by this arrow, he was surprised. With the arrow method of the black arrow girl, it is as easy to take his life with one arrow from such a close distance as searching for a pocket. Why did he just shoot into the shoulder socket?
On the wall of the courtyard, the black arrow girl spoke again, sounding like a nightingale, smooth and cold: "Seeing that you are young, I will only give you a lesson today. If you help Zhou again, I will kill you."
After saying that, she pulled up the rope she had been holding in her hand, skillfully tied it to a feather arrow, and shot northwest.
After the feather arrow was embedded in a corner wall in the northwest, the girl jumped as light as a swallow, and easily flew to the west courtyard. The fire in the West Courtyard is still the same, and her phantom-like body soon disappeared after the thick smoke.
Zu Zhaoqiang endured the sharp pain in his shoulder, and his forehead was sweating like beans. He looked at the place where the black arrow girl disappeared, and for a moment, he was really full of mixed feelings. He could imagine that if the black arrow girl was the same as the black arrow thief who begged the thief that night, the other party obviously did not recognize him. After all, he did not recognize the handyman girl with an injured cheek at the beginning, otherwise would he show mercy?
However, the black arrow girl did not shoot herself, which also made Zu Zhao change some of the other party's impression.
It is understandable that the other party only hates a certain group of people. This group of people are the upper class of society.
Although Zu Zhao is the son of the same family, he also does not like the privileged class of pedantic, corruption, corruption, fish and the people. It is not only the government, but also those big landlords and rich people who monopolize agriculture and commerce and maliciously exploit and deduct workers. Even if Zujiazhuang has more or less such characteristics, once he inherits the family business, it will definitely be improved.
"Alas, really, a character, female thief."
Zu Zhao muttered to himself and then tried to continue to hold the girl in his arms, but his shoulder was really weak for a while.
After waiting for a moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the rear corridor. Before long, Li Xin's shout came: "Brother? Brother Zu is over there. Go and have a look.
Li Xin took two guards up the steps and came to Zu Zhao's side. He saw the arrow wound on Zu Zhao's body and the girl in his arms. He immediately guessed what had happened. He quickly took the girl from the other party's hand and asked in a loud voice, "Brother, how is your injury? Is it okay?"
Zu Zhao used to hold a sense of vitality in order to prevent the girl from falling to the ground. Now he was relieved and took a long breath. He nodded slowly and said helplessly, "Unfortunately, the female thief shot another arrow, but fortunately, she can hold on. This is Liu Taishou's daughter. Brother Li must send her to a safe place for treatment first.
Li Xin hurriedly turned around and greeted the guard to send the girl away, and then asked, "Lieutenant Wen is gathering people to hunt down the assassin Yu Party. Brother Tian and I will go together to assist."
Zu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go with you."
Li Xin was ashamed. He looked at Zu Zhao's left arm and looked at another arrow on his left arm that had not been pulled out.
Zu Zhao gritted his teeth, broke the feather arrow on his left shoulder and shoulder, and said seriously, "A seven-foot man can't even hold on this small injury. Isn't it a joke to spread it? It's all skin injury, and the muscles and bones are unharmed.
Li Xin is not a mother-in-law. Hearing Zu Zhao say this, he didn't persuade him much and said quickly, "That's good. Go together."
After saying that, he helped Zu Zhao and went to the north courtyard together.
