MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1040 near death

   Chapter 1040 Nearly Survived

  The weather is gradually entering autumn.

   On a secret path in Suizhou, a group of more than a dozen people rode their horses wildly.

   Each of the dozen or so people had some wounds on their bodies. The black-faced man still had half a feather arrow left in his ribs, but it was obvious that he had been injured for a long time and no longer bleeds.

   There were more than a dozen people, and there was a child in the middle. The child was about ten years old. His small face was already pale.

   The black-faced brawny man in the lead, after looking left and right, gritted his teeth and said, "This is Suizhou, and further west is Xiangyang City. After passing Xiangyang, we will soon be able to reach Ankang. When we reach the territory of Ankang House, we are safe!"

   This group of people used to be Shen Gang and the sixth prince and others.

They took a huge risk and took the sixth prince out of the Shaoxing mansion. However, it was impossible to do such a thing quietly. Not long after they left the Shaoxing mansion, they were discovered by the Xie family, and they chased after them. Came up, all the way from Shaoxing Mansion to Suizhou!

   In the second half of the escape, the plum blossom guards of the imperial court also participated. They rode behind Shen Gang and others, causing great trouble to Shen Gang.

   Along the way, in order to protect the sixth prince, at least dozens of people from Anbu died, and almost all of them were "old people" who had worked in Anbu for several years or even more than ten years, and everyone was precious and unusual.

   Moreover, these Yulin guards seem to have received some order, completely disregarding the life of the sixth prince, and even a crossbow arrow flew past the sixth prince's cheek!

   That arrow was a little over half an inch, this late emperor's son-in-law would die immediately!

Fortunately, Shen Gang and others were quite experienced. After sacrificing dozens of people, they took the sixth prince to Suizhou. At this time, there were only a dozen people left in their party, and almost everyone was injured, among them Shen. He was the most seriously injured just now. A crossbow arrow pierced into his flesh nearly an inch under his ribs, and his bones were also injured, but he was only able to support himself.

   As long as the crossbow arrow on his body is drawn, he will immediately lie on the ground, unable to move!

   Zhao Yi also fled with them. He was walking beside Shen Gang at the moment. A small piece of flesh was scraped off by a crossbow arrow on his calf, but the injury was not too serious and could barely support him.

   He and Shen Gang walked side by side, lowered his voice, and asked, "Uncle Shen, didn't you ask your foster father for help in Shaoxing? Why did you come all the way to Suizhou, and your foster father still..."

  Shen Gang said solemnly while riding a horse: "The Marquis's power is limited to Ankang. There is also a Xiangyang between Ankang and Suizhou. It is not easy for the forces in the southwest to reach Suizhou."

   He had just finished speaking when he heard a roar of "咻", and a crossbow arrow shot from behind, but it didn't hit anyone, and went straight to the big tree beside it.

  Shen Gang and Zhao Yi, their expressions changed at the same time.

  This is a bow and crossbow only in the imperial imperial army, and Meihuawei is also equipped. Obviously, Meihuawei, who chased them for nearly a thousand miles, caught up again.

  The Xie Clan of Shanyin is the first of a scholarly family, and the family members in the family do not have much fighting power. In fact, the casualties along the way of Anbu, including the injuries on their dozen people, are almost all thanks to Meihuawei!

After the first roar of arrows, a dozen more roars came one after another. Although most of them were shot on trees, one or two people were still hit by arrows. Among the dozen people, two more fell from their horses. Go down and fall into the dust.

After so many years, Shen Gang was used to seeing the wind and rain, so he immediately made a decision, turned his head to look at Zhao Yi, and said solemnly: "Zhao Gongzi, you take the Sixth Highness and continue to go west, the rest of us stay in the Queen! "

  Although Zhao Yi is precocious, he is still a fifteen-year-old boy after all. Under such circumstances, he suddenly panicked.

   "Uncle Shen, I..."

   "Stop talking nonsense!"

  Shen Gang said in a low voice: "After dawdling for a while, we will all die here. It doesn't matter if we die. If the sixth prince also dies here, all our brothers will die in vain along the way!"

   Zhao Yi nodded in despair, took the fainted sixth prince from Anbu and put it in front of him, then he shook the reins vigorously and ran towards the west.

  The two young men ran all the way for about half a column of incense. Zhao Yi lost his strength and his eyes were a little blurry, but he heard a familiar voice.

   "Protect these two children."

   After hearing this voice, Zhao Yi's eyes darkened and he fainted.

Li Xin looked at Zhao Yi, who had fainted in front of him. He didn't have time to check carefully. He gave a low drink to the hundreds of knights behind him, and said, "Shen Gang is still behind, leaving twenty people here to watch these two. Child, the rest of the people go with me to meet up!"

   These four or five hundred cavalry are the personal guard battalion established by Li Xin using the Yulin Guard of the year as a template. They are his personal soldiers. Hearing this, they immediately shouted in unison, "Yes!"

   Four or five hundred people, along this path, ran towards the direction of Shen Gang.

   This rather remote trail was stained with a lot of blood.

  …………

   When Zhao Yi woke up again, it was the afternoon of the next day. He was lying in a carriage, and the carriage was walking on a narrow path, swaying forward.

   Li Xin, dressed in black, sat quietly beside him.

   Zhao Yi hurriedly struggled to sit up, bowed his head and said, "Foster father."

   "And lie down and rest."

  Li Xin was relieved when he saw that he had woken up, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

   "You were slightly injured and lost your strength again. You need to rest for a few days. Fortunately, you are fine. If you have any problems, I really can't explain it to Brother You'an."

   Zhao Yi moved his body, only to feel pain all over his body, he endured the pain and asked, "Godfather, Uncle Shen... how's it going?"

   "He was seriously injured."

   The smile on Li Xin's face disappeared, and he frowned: "He has three arrow wounds on his body, maybe he can save his life, but at least he has to take care of it for a few years."

   Hearing that Shen Gang was not dead, Zhao Yi heaved a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "What about the sixth prince?"

"he's good."

  Li Xin was expressionless: "I have killed dozens of people in Anbu. He only hurt his face. If I knew today, I wouldn't let you go to Shanyin."

Zhao Yi bowed his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect the imperial court's plum blossom guards to be so powerful, we have been very careful to hide our whereabouts along the way, but they were bitten by them like a gangrene, it wasn't the time when the godfather came, we It is estimated that none of these people will survive.”

   "I came too late."

Li Xin frowned slightly and said, "I want to bypass Xiangyang and come to Suizhou, there is a lot of trouble, I asked the Southwest Army to send troops to support and attract Xiangyang's attention, and then I was able to rush to Suizhou to meet you, otherwise I would not As for how it is now.”

   Having said that, Li Xin reached out and patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder.

   "You're awake, then I'm relieved. We're on our way back to the southwest now. You can rest easy and don't think about anything else."

   Zhao Yi nodded and asked, "Godfather, that sixth prince..."

  Li Xin had already lifted the curtain of the carriage, he looked back at Zhao Yi, and said, "You guys did a good job."

   "He is of great use to the Southwest."
