The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad
Chapter 386 City Opening
Zhang Qingxiang was only an official in charge of criminal cases in the county town. What right did he have to order the opening and closing of the city gates?
Tang Zhongbai frowned and shouted with a gloomy face: "I'll say it again, I'm the second son of the Tang family, open the door quickly, I want to go into the city to rescue my father. If something happens to Lord Tang, can you bear the responsibility?"
The officer on the tower was shaken by his words, staring at him in deep thought, not daring to make a decision. While he was hesitating, an unfamiliar officer in black clothes ran up to him and whispered something in his ear.
The official's face suddenly darkened, and he pointed at Tang Zhongbai and shouted, "You ignorant young man, you dare to pretend to be the son of the governor. You are so bold. Come on, shoot the arrows."
A row of archers suddenly appeared on the city gate, aiming at the two people below the city. The bows and arrows flew straight towards the two people.
The two men jumped off their horses, drove away the horses, one wielded a sword and the other wielded a whip, and dozens of arrows did not hurt the two men at all.
The black-robed officer sneered and waved his hand, arrows rained down, and he attacked the two men again.
There was no pause in the attack this time, as bullets were fired one after another, with the intention of killing the two men.
At this time, the strong wind came into play. Some arrows were blown off course, giving the two men a moment's respite.
"Change rockets."
As soon as the black-robed official gave the order, dozens of pottery jars fell to the ground at the feet of the two men with a "bang bang bang bang". The jars broke as soon as they hit the ground, and black liquid flowed out.
“It’s tung oil.”
The two men retreated step by step, but could not avoid the direction where the tung oil was flowing.
In an instant, broken pottery jars fell all around them, and the leaked tung oil flowed on the ground, forming small streams.
In a hurry, the two men wanted to retreat from the city gate. Unfortunately, they were a step too late. As soon as the sound of the pottery jars stopped breaking, arrows with flaming balls came down like meteors, and sparks ignited around them in an instant.
The sparks were blown by the wind and formed a sea of fire that enveloped the two of them like a whirlwind.
The fire was raging, and the rain of arrows from the tower did not stop. Tang Zhongbai was extremely anxious, and saw sparks on Jiang Muxia's clothes. He did not care about his own safety, and while blocking the sharp arrows from above, he tried his best to push her to the small area under the city gate that could be temporarily covered.
"Zhong Bai..." Jiang Muxia was pushed out by him unexpectedly. When she turned around to pull him back, a burst of fire suddenly shot up between the two of them, and her body flew out.
"Live well..." Tang Zhongbai fell to the ground with an arrow in his foot. He decided to face death.
"No..." Jiang Muxia reacted and swung the whip over the flames. The tip of the whip wrapped around Tang Zhongbai's arm. She shouted and used both hands to pull it back.
With a "click", Tang Zhongbai grunted through his teeth and quickly slid under the eaves of the city gate.
His clothes were stained with tung oil and quickly burned. When he reached Jiang Muxia, he turned into a fireball.
"Take off your clothes, take off your clothes quickly..." Jiang Muxia ignored the burning heat and started to take off his clothes.
In a panic, Tang Zhongbai cooperated with her, pulled out the arrow on his leg, untied the belt with both hands, and in an instant only left the thin clothes.
The burning clothes were finally taken off and Jiang Muxia kicked the fire away.
Tang Zhongbai was panting like a cow, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
"I'm sorry, I dislocated your arm. Just bear with it for a moment, I'll reconnect it for you." She picked up his left arm and lifted it up suddenly, and there was another "click".
She turned around to look at Tang Zhongbai again. His lower lip was bitten with blood marks and his face was pale.
Seeing her eyes full of tears and looking at him distressedly, he quickly put on a smile and said, "It doesn't hurt much."
Jiang Muxia untied her cloak and wrapped it around him. Both of them were dirty and smelled bad, as if they had just crawled out of a mud pit.
The two smiled at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, having finally escaped danger.
Tang Zhongbai's face changed, and he felt as if his right leg was being bitten by thousands of ants. After the numbness and soreness, pain came.
His face was pale, his body curled up into a ball, and he gritted his teeth and refused to cry out in pain.
Seeing this, Jiang Muxia hurriedly tore open his trouser leg, revealing a black and purple wound from the arrow.
"The arrow is poisonous, these beasts..." Jiang Muxia was so angry that her teeth were itching. With trembling hands, she took out a small white porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out a few red pills and stuffed them into his mouth.
"This is the Hundred Poison Pills Uncle Zhang Yi gave me. Swallow it quickly." She threw away the porcelain bottle and hugged him in her arms.
The rain of arrows had stopped long ago, and she could clearly hear the sound of chaotic footsteps walking down the city wall.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, her voice so soft that water could drip out, "Zhong Bai, we are dead this time. But, I am so lucky to die with you!"
She clenched his hand, tears falling from the corners of her eyes. She felt her heart sink as she listened to the chaotic footsteps getting closer and closer.
If she had any regrets, it was not marrying him sooner and becoming his true wife.
Tang Zhongbai had already fallen into a semi-comatose state. Her words came into his ears vaguely. He subconsciously held her hand tightly and said intermittently like a dream: "I finally found you. I have... a... lifelong... regret. This time... I will never... let go of your hand again..."
After saying this, he fell into a coma completely.
The chaotic footsteps had reached the city gate. There was a loud "clang" as the bolt fell to the ground. The city gate would open in the next moment, and those people would rush out. No matter what, the two of them would not live until dawn.
She had a dagger in her hand, with blood stains on it.
She smiled bitterly, "You've helped me so many times, can you help me one last time?"
She was determined not to fall into the hands of these people and be tortured to death. Even if she died, she would die with dignity. She killed Tang Zhongbai first and then committed suicide.
The city gate was finally opened. She raised her dagger and stabbed Tang Zhongbai, shouting, "I won't let you succeed. Zhongbai, I will die with you."
When the tip of her knife was about to touch his heart, a scream exploded in her ear, causing her to withdraw her hand. She raised her eyes to look at the person who came, and her hand loosened, the dagger fell to the ground, and her tears flowed down.
"Young Master..., Miss Jiang, stop it." It was Tang Si who brought people to rescue them.
"Hurry up and save him, he's been poisoned."
"Someone, quickly send the young master to the Laiju Tavern."
Tang Zhongbai was put on a carriage and driven quickly into the city.
As soon as he left, Jiang Muxia relaxed all over and thought of the culprit who had caused them to get into trouble, the official in black.
She wants to settle accounts with him.
"Where is the black-robed officer on the city wall?" Her eyes were cold and she clenched the whip in her hand again.
"He was executed on the spot, and the officials who followed his orders were also beheaded for colluding with the rebels."
Jiang Muxia was stunned, "You killed them all?"
Tang Zhongbai was poisoned, and he had to ask them for an antidote. Now that everyone was dead, what should Tang Zhongbai do?
"Don't worry, Miss Jiang. We have the antidote. I asked the person who sent you to the wine shop to have the doctor examine it before I dared to give it to you."
Jiang Muxia breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
"Go home."
There is still a bloody battle waiting for them in the Tang Mansion.
