Xu Yuanqing's injury improved a lot. He was beaten to death by the county government officer. After Manager Song invited a doctor for treatment, he was able to walk around in a few days.
The courtyard is not big, and Xu Yuanqing is used to going out of the courtyard for activities, usually accompanied by members of the Li family. This is the order given by Li Qinzai.
After knowing that Zhao Shiyun might have an interest in Xu Yuanqing, Li Qinzai kept an eye on it and asked Bu Qu to stay with Xu Yuanqing at home.
It wasn't that he had a deep friendship with Xu Yuanqing. Li Qinzai just felt that since he had intervened, he couldn't let Xu Yuanqing die inexplicably in Zhuangzi, otherwise it would be a slap in the face.
The sun is dim and the wind is freezing.
Xu Yuanqing walked out of the door with a somewhat lame leg. Behind him were two tribesmen, neither far nor close to him.
The expressions of the two Bubu were very indifferent and they had no communication with Xu Yuanqing.
To them, Xu Yuanqing was just a mission given by the Fifth Young Master. They were responsible for Xu Yuanqing's safety. If someone wanted to assassinate him, the two subordinates would protect him.
Apart from this, the two subordinates had no other emotional exchanges with Xu Yuanqing, and even looked at his back with a hint of disdain.
The troops heard from team leader Liu Asi that Xu Yuanqing was wrongly accused, and the Fifth Young Master decided to stand up for him. Before that, the Fifth Young Master was unwilling to come forward, but for some reason he was dragged into the water by Xu Yuanqing.
Li Qinzai was very kind to the Buqus. He thought of them when he was eating and drinking, and he never forgot to give them a share.
Gradually, the Buqus, like Liu Asi, have become unswervingly loyal to Li Qinzai. The British man is a hero, and his grandchildren have not fallen short of his ambitions. There are successors to the Li family, and it is also true for the Buqus.
Good thing.
So for Xu Yuanqing, the guy who dragged Fifth Young Master into trouble and caused trouble for the Li family, even though the tribesmen were ordered to protect him, they still felt very disdain for Xu Yuanqing in their hearts.
A seven-foot-tall man is hiding in his arms. He complains about grievances and takes revenge. Why drag my five young men into the water for nothing? It’s not the husband’s doing.
Xu Yuanqing was walking alone in front, as if he could foresee the looks coming from behind, but Xu Yuanqing could only smile bitterly.
His parents were murdered, and the murderer was so powerful that he was just a weakling in front of the judges. His fate should have been handed down, but when he met Li Qinzai, his life took a turn for the worse.
This was not a life-saving straw, but a piece of driftwood lying across the water. Xu Yuanqing didn't care about anything and could only hug the driftwood tightly.
It is the only hope to avenge the murder of his parents. Xu Yuanqing does not care about his future life, whether he is alive or dead, or how others despise him.
He just wants revenge and will do whatever it takes to get revenge.
The future? There was no future in his life. He didn't even dare to think about whether he would still be interested in living after his parents' vengeance was avenged.
The three of them walked in the village one behind the other. Xu Yuanqing felt depressed and walked further and further away without realizing it.
When they were about to reach the entrance of the village, the two subordinates behind them couldn't help but remind them: "Master Xu, the Fifth Young Master has said that you'd better not leave Zhuangzi, as there will be danger."
Xu Yuanqing paused, turned around and said with a wry smile: "Two heroes, please forgive me. It was Xu who caused trouble. Let's go back now."
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Cui Jie and Qiao'er walking hand in hand not far away.
Cui Jie's other hand was holding a bamboo basket, Qiao'er had a bright smile on her face, but Cui Jie's footsteps were a little hurried. Qiao'er was led by her and staggered several times, but Cui Jie
Still ignoring it, his steps became faster and faster.
Xu Yuanqing and the two Buqu stopped.
Xu Yuanqing was not very familiar with Cui Jie, but of course he knew Qiao'er. When he was recuperating in another hospital a few days ago, Qiao'er saw that he was in pain after taking medicine, so he kindly gave him a few pieces of candy.
Seeing Qiao'er, Xu Yuanqing smiled sincerely, and was about to go up to meet him, but saw Cui Jie holding him with a pale face and fear in her eyes.
Qiao'er on the side was staggered by her, but Qiao'er didn't blame her. After seeing Xu Yuanqing not far away, Qiao'er raised her hands happily: "Uncle Xu, there is fish to eat today. Auntie caught a big fish."
.”
When Qiao'er shouted, Cui Jie came back to her senses. After seeing the two men from the Li Family Courtyard, she couldn't help but became anxious and shouted: "Two brave men, pick up Qiao'er quickly!"
The two buddies were stunned for a moment, then realized something was wrong and hurried forward.
At this moment, two figures suddenly emerged from the bushes half a man tall by the roadside, and two rays of snow-white swords struck directly towards Xu Yuanqing.
The incident happened suddenly, and the two tribesmen were shocked, but they still ran towards Cui Jie and Qiao'er without hesitation.
At this moment, the two tribes had quickly made their choice.
If Xu Yuanqing is killed, he will be derelict in his duties. He will have nothing to say if he is punished.
But Qiao'er is the son of Wu Shaolang, and nothing can happen to him! If you have to choose between Xu Yuanqing and Qiao'er to protect, the choice of the two tribes must be Qiao'er.
In a flash of lightning, two Buqus ran to Cui Jie and Qiao'er, and then drew their swords out of their sheaths. One of them took out a bamboo whistle from his chest, brought it to his mouth and blew it vigorously.
Sharp and mournful whistles resounded inside and outside Zhuangzi. At the same time, two tribesmen moved quickly, one blocking in front of Cui Jie and Qiao'er, and the other blocking behind them.
"Stay where you are and wait for help!" one of the soldiers shouted sternly.
This is also the safest decision, because I don’t know if there are any other ambushes on this rural road from the village entrance to Zhuangzi. The bamboo whistle just blew, and Liu Asi and the others from the other courtyard will come to support soon. As long as they persist for a moment, they will
Can turn danger into safety.
Cui Jie was so frightened that her face turned pale, and Qiao'er was also stunned. She looked at Xu Yuanqing in front of him, who was besieged by two assassins, with a bewildered face.
The two assassins did not say a word from the time they showed up to the time of the assassination. Their target was very clear, and that was Xu Yuanqing. Every move they made went straight to his vital points, and they obviously had no intention of leaving him alive.
The two tribes still protected Cui Jie and Qiao'er, and watched helplessly as Xu Yuanqing was besieged, but they still did not move.
Yes, they failed in their duty to protect Xu Yuanqing, and they had also made up their mind to give up on Xu Yuanqing.
At this moment, their only thought was to protect Qiao'er.
Xu Yuanqing was seriously injured and had not recovered. He dodged left and right during the siege of the two assassins. He could not avoid it in the sword light. Soon he was slashed several times, and blood flowed out from the wounds. He still gritted his teeth and held the knife in his hand.
Jumping around in the light, struggling to survive.
Not far away, Cui Jie and Qiao'er were not safe under the protection of the two tribesmen.
While she was concentrating on waiting for reinforcements, two figures suddenly appeared behind Cui Jie, also without saying a word, and slashed at the two tribesmen fiercely with the light of their swords.
The two tribesmen were shocked, and at that moment they were extremely grateful for their decision.
"Kill!" The two tribesmen shouted in unison, and took out their steel knives to catch the assassin's knife.
The two assassins who besieged Xu Yuanqing, plus the two assassins who besieged the tribe, there were four assassins who showed up at this time.
Cui Jie's pretty face turned pale. She didn't know how to deal with this situation, but she also knew at this moment who was the one who needed protection the most.
"Qiao'er, come here and hug Auntie, hurry up!" Cui Jie said with a rare stern tone.
Qiao'er was frightened and hugged Cui Jie's neck without hesitation.
Cui Jie held him tightly in her arms, turned around and squatted down, turning her back to the assassin. Qiao'er was completely protected in her arms.
"Qiao'er, you, remember, no matter what happens, don't struggle or leave my arms, do you understand?" Cui Jie warned in a tearful tone.
