After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow flew over with a "whoosh".

Burch drew his sword and knocked the arrow away.

Arrows flew continuously from the back of the house.

The guards on both sides of the carriage quickly drew their swords to fight.

"Guard the carriage!"

Four or five guards surrounded the carriage tightly, constantly blocking the incoming arrows with their swords.

The other side has too many people!

Birch frowned tightly, gradually feeling overwhelmed.

Suddenly, the two guards next to the carriage were unfortunately hit by arrows. As soon as they fell down, four or five long arrows broke through the window and shot into the carriage.

A muffled groan was heard from inside the carriage as if someone had been hit by an arrow.

"Your Highness!"

Birch was horrified. He didn't care about anything else and rushed into the carriage.

"Your Highness! How are you, Your Highness?"

came his panicked voice from inside the carriage.

When the remaining guards heard that Xiao Yujing was shot by an arrow, they were furious and rushed forward to fight with the people hiding behind the house.

But the other party's target seems to be just Xiao Yujing.

When they saw that Xiao Yujing was hit by an arrow, they no longer wanted to fight, but simply put away their bows and arrows and ran away.

The guards wanted to chase him again, and Burch shouted to them:

"Stop chasing! Send His Highness back for treatment!"

"Yes!"

Everyone hurriedly drove the carriage back.

Zhang Huaiyun was still checking the previous accounts in the room.

The magistrate of Qingze County embezzled not only the disaster relief funds this time, but also all kinds of subsidies previously issued by the imperial court.

Once he has verified the accounts, he will hand over the evidence to the Inspectorate.

Zhang Huaiyun was watching attentively when he suddenly heard a commotion in the yard.

He frowned slightly, stood up and walked out.

As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw Xiao Yujing covered in blood being carried in by the guards.

Zhang Huaiyun was terrified.

"Your Highness!"

He ran over with a pale face, and followed the guards to carry Xiao Yujing into the room and put him on the bed.

Xiao Yujing was lying quietly on the bed at this time, his body stained with blood and his pale face lifeless.

Looking at His Highness like this, Zhang Huaiyun's legs went weak for a moment.

"What happened to your Highness?!"

Burch's voice trembled, "We were ambushed on the road just now, and His Highness was unfortunately shot by an arrow..."

"I, I'll go find a doctor!" Zhang Huaiyun hurried out.

Burch quickly grabbed him and said, "Master Xiao Zhang, we have sent people to look for the doctor. It is very dangerous outside now. Please don't run around."

Zhang Huaiyun's body couldn't stop shaking, "Then, what can I do... I have to do something..."

We can't let His Highness keep bleeding like this...

"Lord Xiao Zhang, I'll take care of everything here. Don't worry too much. His Highness will be fine." Burch said, suppressing his heartache.

Zhang Huaiyun nodded hesitantly.

Burch looked at the guards beside him and said, "Go to Kyoto immediately and invite Doctor Chen as quickly as possible. Go!"

"Yes!" The guard immediately ran out the door.

At this time, a guard came hurriedly with an old man.

"Boss, the doctor is here!"

"Yeah." Burch quickly made way and let the doctor help with the treatment.

Zhang Huaiyun stood aside, waiting for the doctor's diagnosis.

But Birch pulled him out of the room.

"Guard Birch, what are you doing..." Zhang Huaiyun asked in confusion.

Birch looked at the empty courtyard and let out a deep breath.

"Master Xiao Zhang, next we need you to go and comfort the people at the disaster relief site on behalf of His Highness."

"I?"

Zhang Huaiyun was puzzled. His Highness was injured, so why was he going to the disaster relief site?

"Your Highness does not want to break his promise to the people of Qingze County." said Birch.

"But His Highness..."

"The more this is the case, the more Master Xiao Zhang should go to the disaster relief site."

Birch looked at him seriously.

"This way, the people will know that His Highness was attacked by an assassin and was seriously injured."

Zhang Huaiyun understood.

His Highness is diligent in his work and cares about the people. Now he has been suddenly attacked. If he does not go forward to explain, he is afraid that he will be used by people with ulterior motives to slander His Highness for being unfair in treating the people.

"Guard Birch, I understand. I will go to the disaster relief site right away and convey Your Highness' concern for the people." Zhang Huaiyun said solemnly.

Of course, there were more than one reason why Burch asked him to go, but it was not convenient for him to explain to Zhang Huaiyun now. He knew that the group of black-clad assassins were targeting the prince, so Zhang Huaiyun would not be attacked again if he went again.

However, to be on the safe side, he still appointed a few guards to escort Zhang Huaiyun.

Zhang Huaiyun packed up quickly, went out, and got on the carriage to the last disaster relief site.

Burch walked into the room with a complicated expression and saw that the doctor had already taken his pulse.

He stepped forward quickly and held the doctor's hand tightly.

"Doctor, how is His Highness...?"

The doctor picked up a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his hands, then sighed helplessly.

"Your Highness has lost too much blood, I'm afraid..."

Burch's heart tightened, "Is there no way?"

"I can only prescribe a medicine to temporarily keep your Highness alive, but you should invite the imperial physician as soon as possible, otherwise after tonight, even the gods will be powerless..."

The doctor was also very heartbroken.

How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who loves the people so much, encounter such a terrible thing?

The doctor took out a pen and paper from the medicine box, wrote a prescription and gave it to Burch.

"Go get the medicine quickly. It will be even more disadvantageous to His Highness if you are late."

"Thank you, doctor." Burch took the prescription and ran out quickly.

The doctor let out a long sigh, packed up his things, and walked out the door carrying his medicine box.

He had not walked far when an arm suddenly stretched out from the path next to him and pulled him over.

Before the doctor could react, a big knife was placed on his neck.

His legs went weak instantly.

"Great, great hero, please spare my life..."

"I'm just a doctor...my life is worthless..."

The person behind him turned a deaf ear and spoke in a cold voice:

"Let me ask you, was the patient you went to see just now Crown Prince Xiao Yujing?!"

The doctor trembled with fear.

How could he address His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by his name?

"me......"

"Say!"

The knife on the neck moved closer.

"I said it, I said it!"

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

The doctor spoke tremblingly.

The person behind him seemed to chuckle.

"So what's his current situation? Is he still alive?"

The doctor swallowed and said, "Your Highness is not feeling well now. If...if we can't save him tonight, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Stop hesitating and tell me!"

"I'm afraid his life may be in danger!" the doctor said quickly.

The person behind him snorted coldly.

He looked at the trembling person in front of him, smiled contemptuously, and chopped the other person's neck with a knife.

The doctor fainted instantly.

The man put away his sword and rushed towards the disaster relief site, where he met his accomplice on the way.

"How is it? Is it done?" he asked quickly.

The other person smiled strangely, "It's done. The man surnamed Zhang just went to the disaster relief site and said that Xiao Yujing was seriously injured and couldn't come to visit the people for the time being."

"It's the same here. The doctor said that Xiao Yujing will have a hard time making it through the night."

"Great! Go and report to the master!"

"it is good!"

The two of them ran quickly towards Kyoto.
