() Only then did Zhong Jinwei remember that there was an arrow in his chest, but other than a slight pain in his chest, he had no other feeling, so that he even forgot about the arrow in his chest.
So, he lowered his head, held the arrow shaft with one hand, and then stretched his other hand into his arms to touch the wound.
He touched it and secretly said, "God bless you." It turned out that the arrow hit the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" given by Archie, and happened to break the book, and then was blocked by the thick clothes.
No skin was hurt at all.
Yan Yingyuan and Ye Bushou both looked at Zhong Jinwei nervously, fearing something unexpected would happen.
Over there, Gu Baichuan had bandaged his wound, and with Ye Bushou's support, he also came over to see Zhong Jinwei's injury.
Because Gu Baichuan's wound was not bandaged in time, he bled too much. When he returned to the official road just now, it was Ye Bushou who helped him to prevent him from falling off the horse. He was at the end of his strength.
Now after bandaging, the injury has been stabilized, but the body is still very weak.
Zhong Jinwei immediately took out the hand that was in his arms, then pressed the bag on his chest, pulled out the arrow with a strong hand with the hand holding the arrow shaft.
The arrow was shining brightly, and it was the most vicious Mitsubishi arrow. It turned out that the leader of the horse thieves, Mo Da, used a relatively rare Mitsubishi arrow in order to kill him with one blow.
It's just that fate is not as good as fate. Zhong Jinwei cherished Archie's affection for him and saved him.
Everyone understood the cause and effect, and secretly said that Zhong Jinwei's fate was great.
Zhong Jinwei unwrapped the package, took out the book, looked at it carefully, then wrapped it together with Yan Yingyuan's arrowhead and tied it to his body again. He wanted to keep these two things as a souvenir. They contained feelings and lessons.
Be sure to keep it in mind.
After finishing his work, he turned sideways and faced Gu Baichuan, who was pale and supported by Ye Bushou. He was speechless for a while. After a while, he clasped his hands and bowed to Gu Baichuan, saying: "I regret that I shouldn't have listened."
Thanks to your kind words, otherwise we wouldn’t be in such an embarrassing situation and almost risked everyone’s lives. I will definitely learn a lesson!”
Gu Baichuan saw Zhong Jinwei apologizing to him. This was something he had never seen before. It would be nice if the other targets of protection didn't shout about the lack of protection.
Gu Baichuan felt that Zhong Jinwei valued him. He almost paid his own life for the young master, but it was still worth it.
"Young Master has made a serious statement. It is my duty to protect you."
Yan Yingyuan looked at his unique brother-in-law and nodded appreciatively. Although he was a bit stubborn and his equestrian skills were extremely poor, he could correct his mistakes and correct them, and he could also be courteous to the corporal. He would definitely have a brighter future than just being an earl.
After Zhong Jinwei apologized, he thought of Wang Peng again and couldn't help but said: "I wonder if Wang Peng can escape danger."
Gu Baichuan knew Wang Peng well. After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "Don't worry, sir, the number of people chasing the horse-watching thieves should not be too many to deal with him. Even if he can't be beaten, he should be able to run away."
"
Zhong Jinwei nodded, hoping that would be the case. Otherwise, Wang Peng was the one who died in vain because of his carelessness, and that was his own fault.
After all, he was worried about Wang Peng, so Zhong Jinwei asked: "Can you still ride horses? If possible, we can move forward slowly so that we can know Wang Peng's safety earlier."
Gu Baichuan's injury was the most serious, but it was only due to excessive bleeding and the injury was on his arm. Now that he has stopped the bleeding and has some energy, he can ride without any serious problems.
So, the five people started to walk forward slowly on horseback.
Without much effort, the Yebushou who were chasing the horse thieves came back with five heads in their hands.
Zhong Jinwei looked at the human heads still dripping blood in their hands, and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. But he also knew that vomiting was not good, so he endured it. In this ancient time, human heads would probably only be seen in the future.
More, you have to get used to it.
One of them, Ye Bushou, reported to Zhong Jinwei: "The supervisor, the horse thieves escaped in two groups. The five horse thieves who were chased by my subordinates were all killed by us. The other group of horse thieves have fled without a trace."
Zhong Jinwei nodded and reluctantly said "ok".
Gu Baichuan originally wanted these people to track down the escaped horse thieves and see how many of them could be caught alive. These people were obviously coming for Zhong Jinwei, so they had to be caught and questioned.
But I am afraid that if there are other horse thieves ambushing nearby, several of them have lost their combat effectiveness. If Ye Bushou and others are not around, the young master will be in danger again. For now, the safety of the young master is still the most important thing, so I can only go back and trace these people.
The horse was stolen.
They walked slowly along the way, seeing traces of the previous battles along the way, knowing how thrilling it was. They stayed there for several nights, and began to admire the abilities of Gu Baichuan and Yan Yingyuan, especially Yan Yingyuan, who had dealt with many of them one by one.
Judging from his skills, I am afraid that he is a person who has been in battle for a long time, and this is the level.
Finally, Hu Hao took Wang Peng back along the original route to join them. Hu Hao met Wang Peng halfway. Wang Peng saw Hu Hao and knew that the young master was safe, so he felt relieved and stopped running in a hurry.
Hu Hao is here.
Zhong Jinwei and his party were very happy to see that Hu Hao was fine. After the battle, Gu Baichuan and Yan Yingyuan were injured on their side, Zhong Jinwei was frightened, and Wang Peng was fine.
As for the horse thieves, there are currently twenty corpses counted, of which Yan Yingyuan alone killed nine, and Wang Peng also killed four.
Gu Baichuan himself was unable to investigate, so he asked Wang Peng, "Have you found any clues about who wants to kill the young master?"
The time was too short, and they were only focused on fighting. It couldn't be seen from the appearance, and there were few words. Wang Peng shook his head and said: "You can't see it yet."
After hearing this, Yan Yingyuan said: "One of them, a thin and short man, once asked for an additional two thousand taels to buy the heads of the supervisors. He was probably hiring murderers to kill people." At this time, he already knew that Zhong Jinwei was still the supervisor of King Qin's army.
In front of us, it’s hard to call Zhong Jinwei brother-in-law directly.
Gu Baichuan also heard it, nodded, thought for a while, and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master, if we don't find out who killed you, I'm afraid you will be in danger in the future. I want to report it to the factory owner immediately.
Your Majesty, please investigate this matter strictly."
When it comes to his own safety, Zhong Jinwei will certainly not be generous and nod his head.
So, Gu Baichuan turned to Wang Peng, who was walking with him, and said, "You must rush to the capital immediately and report to the factory master what happened here."
Wang Peng cupped his fists and said, "I obey."
Then he said goodbye and left. Anyway, there were captured horses, one man and two horses, galloping away.
It was only then that Gu Baichuan greeted Hu Hao. However, he was the stall owner of Dongchang, while Hu Hao was just a frontier soldier who had not collected the flag all night. There was a big difference in status, so he just said a shallow thank you.
Zhong Jinwei did not have so many hierarchical concepts in his heart. He expressed his thanks again and again, and then asked about the movements of the Jianlu. He secretly estimated that it was consistent with history. They were raging in the northeast of the capital. It seems that the main force of the Jianlu was in Chongzhen in the third year of the Chongzhen Period.
Out of customs in early February.
The imperial court is now unable to drive them away, but it is only causing suffering to the people there.
We really need to build a strong army, and we happened to have the elites of the Ming army around us, so Zhong Jinwei started chatting with them. If we can understand more about the situation below, we might be able to encounter fewer problems in the future military reform.
To the point of resistance.
Zhong Jinwei saw that this Ye Bu Shuan didn't seem to have any firearms, which seemed different from what he had in mind. So, he asked: "How is the current firearms situation? Don't you have any?"
Hu Hao was curious about why Zhong Jinwei asked this question, so he replied: "My subordinates are equipped with more firearms, but the firearms used by our cavalry are not as powerful as bows and arrows, so we don't like to use them."
"Why?" Zhong Jinwei was a little curious.
"Firearms have a short range, are loud, cannot fire continuously, and may cause accidents. For our cavalry that does not collect at night, we would rather use bows and arrows."
"An accident?"
Hu Hao looked at Zhong Jinwei. He didn't know whether he was pretending to be stupid or he really didn't know. However, he didn't dare to question Zhong Jinwei. After all, the level difference was too big. He replied politely: "It may explode."
After saying this, Zhong Jinwei knew that he had never mentioned the ordnance to the emperor, and he would have to talk about it this time when he went back.
Besides, the group of horse thieves who escaped waited until they reached a safe place, found a shelter from the wind, and dismounted their horses, cursing and resting.
Liang Biao also dismounted and rested, knowing that the mission had failed. Now he was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath.
