Liu Xiu also didn't expect that the other party would have a double ambush. He swung the Chixiao Sword upwards with force, and heard a sound of sand, and the big net falling from the sky was cut open by the sword's edge.
As soon as he broke open the big net above, his feet suddenly felt soft. It turned out that a big net emerged from the soil under his feet and was folded up from the bottom up. Liu Xiu was wrapped up in this big net.
In just an instant, the net wrapped Liu Xiu up in the air. At this time, it was not that easy for Liu Xiu to use the Chixiao Sword to cut the net open, and the other party did not give him this time.
I saw several men in black squatting on the treetops all around. They all held crossbows in their hands. When they saw Liu Xiu was struck and hung in mid-air, these men in black did not hesitate for a moment and aimed at Liu Xiu.
, one after another pulled the hanging knife on the crossbow.
Bang, bang, bang! The sound of the crossbow machine ejecting was loud, and at least seven or eight crossbow arrows were fired at Liu Xiufei. At this critical moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful——"
Following the words, Long Yuan jumped up. In the air, he pushed the tree trunk with one foot, and he jumped up again. When he came to Liu Xiu who was trapped in the net, he held his sword horizontally.
With a wave of sand, the rope above the big net was cut off, and Liu Xiu fell from mid-air.
At this moment, crossbow arrows from all around flew towards him. The crossbow arrows failed to hit Liu Xiu, but some of them hit Long Yuan's back firmly.
Long Yuan groaned, fell from the air, and fell heavily to the ground with a thud.
After missing a hit, the men in black ambushing around him hit the crossbow with arrows again and continued to shoot arrows. At this time, Liu Xiuye had already broken away from the big net. He waved the Chixiao Sword in his hand and shot the arrows flying around him.
All the arrows were deflected.
Then he looked down and saw Long Yuan lying on the ground with his eyes closed tightly. There were three crossbow arrows stuck in his back. What was even more terrifying was that the skin on his body was glowing with a dark blue color.
Oops! The arrow is poisonous! Without thinking, Liu Xiu took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, bit off the lid, and poured the pills inside into Long Yuan's mouth.
This bottle of elixir was an antidote given to him by Pi Tong. It cannot be said to be able to cure all poisons, but at least it can alleviate the onset of toxicity.
The other party seemed to realize that the crossbow arrows could no longer harm Liu Xiu. People jumped down from the tree trunks one after another, holding long swords, and rushed directly towards Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu gritted his teeth and faced him with his sword.
Bang! The sword thrust towards him was deflected, and Liu Xiu struck back with a sword, slashing the opponent's neck.
The man in black hurriedly stepped back, but Liu Xiu came to him in one step, and hit him in the chest with a sword.
The man in black screamed and fell to the ground. At the same time as he fell to the ground, three black shadows jumped out from all around. Three rays of cold light struck from three directions, stabbing Liu Xiu's three vital points. Liu Xiu
He shouted loudly and waved his sword to block.
Ding, ding, ding! In one breath, he blocked all three of the opponent's swords. Three more black shadows jumped out, and the three sharp blades still hit Liu Xiu's vital points.
Liu Xiu lowered his body and rolled back. Seeing this, the six men in black realized that they had an opportunity and swarmed forward. With six long swords, they slashed at Liu Xiu's body.
Liu Xiu took advantage of the rolling inertia and jumped up from the ground. At the same time, he raised the Red Sky Sword upwards. Dang, Dang, Dang! The six falling long swords were all blocked by the Red Xiao Sword. However, it was too powerful.
The pressure also made Liu Xiu sit down on the ground.
One of the men in black flashed his eyes, shook his hand fiercely, and shot a sleeve arrow from his sleeve, aiming straight for Liu Xiu's throat.
Liu Xiu reacted quickly and turned sideways. At the same time, he waved his arm outward, and bang, the crossbow arrow shot out and flew towards the opponent's throat.
The sleeve arrow shot by the man in black flew past the side of Liu Xiu's neck and opened a gash on the side of his neck. The crossbow arrow he fired back hit the opponent's throat. The man's eyes were so wide that he stepped back two feet.
Step forward and fall straight on your back.
But looking at the wound on the side of Liu Xiu's neck, the skin on both sides of the wound turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye. What was flowing out was not red blood, but black blood. Obviously, the opponent's sleeve arrows were also quenched with poison.
Liu Xiu felt that his head was dizzy for a while. At the moment when he was dazed, the other five men in black attacked again and stabbed his chest with five long swords.
But before Liu Xiu could dodge, two people rushed up from behind Liu Xiu. While pulling Liu Xiu away, they launched a counterattack at the man in black with their swords. These two people were Long Zhun and Long Bu.
Liu Xiu sat on the ground and shook his confused head. At this time, everything in his eyes was a double image, and the world was spinning. Look carefully, the blood flowing out of the wound on the side of his neck was getting darker and darker, almost like ink.
generally.
The black blood soaked a large area of his collar. Then, the black color faded away and was replaced by bright red blood. At this time, the blood flowing out from the wound became less, and Liu Xiu's dizziness also increased.
disappear.
Because Liu Xiu had consumed gold liquid, he already had a physique that was invulnerable to all poisons. When he was first poisoned, he did have a poisoning reaction, but his body's detoxification ability was extremely strong, and his body's functions could quickly expel the invading toxins.
Body.
He took a deep breath, and seeing Long Zhun and Long Bo fighting together with the five men in black, he reminded loudly: "Long Zhun, Long Bo, be careful, the assassin's weapons are all quenched with poison!" After speaking, he
When he came to Long Yuan, it only took a while, and Liu Xiu had already fed him the detoxification pill that Pi Tong had personally refined, but Long Yuan's face still turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and his breath was weak.
, almost imperceptible.
Seeing that Long Yuan's life was hanging by a thread, Long Zhun, Long Bo would not be able to capture the other five people in a short while. Even if they captured the other party, it was not certain whether they could force them to hand over the antidote!
Liu Xiu was anxious. After a second thought, he quickly picked up the Chixiao Sword, cut a cut on his wrist, and then pressed the wound on Long Yuan's mouth.
The blood flowed out from the wound and poured into Long Yuan's mouth. Liu Xiu didn't know if this would have any effect. He only knew that his body was not afraid of poison, and perhaps his blood also had the effect of detoxifying.
In order to save Long Yuan, Liu Xiu didn't mind scratching his wrist. What surprised Liu Xiu was that as he fed Long Yuan his blood, Long Yuan began to sweat, and his whole body started to sweat.
Everyone started twitching.
The scary thing is that the sweat flowing out of Long Yuan's body is not transparent, but like black and sticky ink.
In just a short while, a layer of black greasy stain appeared on Long Yuan's skin, exuding a putrid and unpleasant smell.
What made Liu Xiu extremely happy was that the dark green color of Long Yuan's skin was quickly receding, replaced by paleness. When Liu Xiu was treating Long Yuan, a large number of guards also rushed to the scene, joining forces with Long Zhun and Long Bo to besiege the man.
Five men in black.
Liu Xiu shouted loudly: "Don't let anyone escape!" As he spoke, he picked up Long Yuan and ran quickly out of the woods. At the same time, he shouted: "Where is the medical officer? Where is the imperial doctor?"
When the emperor travels, he is naturally accompanied by imperial doctors. Following Liu Xiu's shout, three imperial doctors ran over and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I am... I am here..."
Three imperial doctors came to Liu Xiu and were shocked when they saw Long Yuan being held in Liu Xiu's arms. They couldn't help but exclaimed in their hearts: What is this!
Now Long Yuan has a layer of black stains on his skin. Anyone who sees it will think he is a monster. Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Long Yuan is injured, please treat him quickly!"
The three imperial doctors looked closely and finally recognized Long Yuan. They hurriedly picked up Long Yuan and carried him to a nearby carriage.
At this time, Yin Lihua walked over quickly under the protection of Xu Ying, Xu Ting, and Xu Fei, and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, how is Long Yuan's injury?"
Liu Xiu shook his head. He didn't know if he had helped Long Yuan completely detoxify. Judging from Long Yuan's condition, it seemed that he was getting better.
Yin Lihua noticed the wounds on his neck and wrists and said urgently: "Your Majesty is injured!"
Liu Xiu said disapprovingly: "It's just a minor injury, it doesn't matter, Lihua doesn't have to worry!"
Xuying took out the golden sore medicine, came to Liu Xiu, and applied medicine to his wound. Xuying had just done some simple treatment for Liu Xiu, and the battle in the woods came to an end. Five black-clothed assassins, all
They didn't run away, but similarly, they didn't leave anyone alive, they were all killed.
Three of them died under the swords of Long Zhun and Long Bu, and the other two were injured and captured. However, at the moment of being captured, they both bit the wax pills in their mouths at the same time and died on the spot.
The guards carried the bodies of the men in black out of the woods one after another and arranged them in a row on the ground.
Long Zhun and Long Bu walked up to Liu Xiu with their brows furrowed, stepped in and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, I was unable to leave anyone alive. Please forgive me!"
Liu Xiu waved his hands to them. These assassins gave Liu Xiu a sense of familiarity, and a name naturally flashed in his mind, Si Ah!
Long Zhun asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, how is Long Yuan's injury?"
Liu Xiu said: "The imperial doctor is treating them." Seeing that Long Zhun and Long Bo looked worried, Liu Xiu lowered his head and motioned for them to go and have a look.
Long Zhun and Long Bo saluted together, and then walked quickly towards the carriage not far away.
Xuying walked up to the corpse, lowered his head and took a look. Then he squatted down next to a corpse, grabbed the corpse's back collar, and pulled hard, and a tattoo with the word "two" appeared. He turned around and said
:"His Majesty!"
Liu Xiu came over, lowered his head to look at the tattoo on the back of the corpse's neck, squinted his eyes, and said faintly: "It is indeed a dead soldier of Si'a!"
During the annihilation of Chimei, Fan Chong, Xu Xuan and others all surrendered, except for Mo Yan.
At that time, many Red Eyebrows surrendered soldiers said with certainty that they saw Mo Yan die in the rebel army.
At that time, Liu Xiu didn't believe such an argument. Now that Si'a's dead soldiers appeared again, his original idea was confirmed. Mo Yan was not dead, but escaped with his troops.
Xuying frowned and said, "I wonder where Mo Yan is hiding with these Si'a dead soldiers!"
Liu Xiu suddenly said: "I think he must have found a new owner now!"
"Ah?" Xuying looked at Liu Xiu in surprise.
Liu Xiu asked: "Why did he send dead soldiers to assassinate me again?"
In Liu Xiu's view, Mo Yan would not do meaningless things. He had been inactive for so long, and now he suddenly sent a dead soldier to assassinate him. This can only mean that he has found a new master, and that new master
, must be a person who can compete with himself in the world.
