king and his guard

Chapter 20 The Arrow

The leading officer rode a fine horse and held a steel whip, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Highness, don't come here unharmed! I don't want to meet here today, brothers have been looking for you so hard!"

Wu Shuanghu stood in front of Xue Ai, stretched out her hand and stretched out her waist, a cold light radiated from her waist, a sharp sword was tightly clenched in her hand, at the same time, Ying Xue cried out in surprise behind her, the door had been knocked down, dozens Officers and soldiers filed out.

The officer on the horseback sneered: "Xue Ai, you're going to die anyway, why don't you be more courteous and capture him obediently, so that my lord can leave you with a whole body!"

Wu Shuang said angrily: "Bold!" With a flick of his sword, he flew straight to the officer's face.

The officer turned sideways in amazement, and suddenly felt a burst of cold and numbness on his arm, with blood gushing out, followed by excruciating pain.

The officer shouted angrily, and all the soldiers around him came rushing in, and suddenly there were swords and swords, and there were killing sounds everywhere.

Wu Shuang's sword is like a blue dragon soaring to the sky, he is dressed in white and wanders among the crowd, the sword light is cold and sharp, blood shadows are flowing, and he has killed several people in a short time.

While protecting the child, Xue Ai dodged along with Wu Shuang's figure.

The officer behind him gave an order, and the rest of the soldiers attacked.

Yingxue was already anxious, no matter how good Wu Shuang's swordsmanship was, she would be outnumbered in the end. Just when she was at a loss, she saw Qiao Wu rushing over.

Yingxue suddenly became suspicious. Apart from Shopkeeper Cai and her father, Qiao Wu was the only one who had seen Xue Ai. Could it be that he reported to the government?

Immediately, anger came from his heart, and he stared and asked: "Qiao Wu! Is it Brother Wu Shuang who you reported?!"

Qiao Wu's eyes were red, he grabbed her and said, "Yingxue, follow me!"

Yingxue said decisively: "At worst, I will die, even if I die, I will not go with you!"

Qiao Wu was stunned for a moment, opening his mouth and not knowing what to say. Yingxue gave him a disgusted look. Looking back, she suddenly saw the officer holding a steel knife and slashing at Wu Shuang's back. Still overwhelmed.

Yingxue didn't have time to think about it, she flew up, hugged the officer's leg tightly, and shouted: "Brother!"

When Wu Shuang suddenly looked back, the officer's blade had been deeply embedded in Yingxue's head, Yingxue's eyes were wide open, and blood flowed all over her face in an instant.

The officer kicked her away, and at the same time, the child in Xue Ai's arms wailed loudly.

Wu Shuang yelled and handed out the sharp sword, followed by the sword, as fast as lightning, raised the sword and dropped it, the officer who was originally a whole person was split in half, and his internal organs scattered all over the ground.

Everyone was horrified, Qiao Wu rushed to Yingxue's side, hugged her in his arms, wept bitterly, pointed at the officers and soldiers and cursed: "I would rather not have that thousand hectares of land and ten thousand taels of gold, as long as you don't kill her!" That's fine, but now you're killing her, I'm going to fight with you!"

Abandoning Yingxue, picking up the knife on the ground, and suddenly pounced on the officers and soldiers, yelling all the way, slashing left and right, like a mad tiger, but suddenly raised his arms high and stopped above his head, Wu Shuang's sword light was faint After falling down, Qiao Wu's body was already full of steel knives, and he fell to the ground in an instant, and after a while, he lost his breath.

Seeing that Wu Shuang was difficult to deal with, the officer on horseback gave an order: "Fire the arrows and shoot them to death!"

All the officers and soldiers drew their bows one after another, and suddenly the rain of arrows was woven like a net and shot through the air. Wu Shuang protected Xue Ai, the sharp sword in his hand was flying, the sword light protected the body, his eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and an arrow was firmly held by him Catch it, and suddenly swung his wrist backwards, and then he heard the officer scream and fell off the horse.

All the officers and soldiers retreated one after another and kept shooting arrows. In the rain of arrows, an arrow suddenly shot directly in front of Xue Ai. The arrow came so fast that before Xue Ai could react, he suddenly felt a strong impact, and he couldn't help but go forward. After taking two big steps back, the child in his arms fell silent with a whoosh.

But at this moment the situation does not allow anyone to hesitate, Wu Shuang pulled Xue Ai and said: "Xiao Ai get on the horse!"

The two of them flew up and rode away.The soldiers pursued closely, Wu Shuang sat behind Xue Ai, held the rein with both hands, and wrapped his arms tightly around him, while he leaned back in Wu Shuang's arms, closed his eyes, thinking about Zhen Bo, Ying Xue , and Qiao Wu, life and death are only at the fingertips.

In the ears are Wu Shuang's rapid breathing, and the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air.

Suddenly, Xue Ai felt Wu Shuang's body pressing down on her!He lay on his back, his breathing was already extremely short.

Looking back, he saw that his face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down the corners of his forehead.Xue Ai asked in shock: "What's wrong with you?!"

Wu Shuang squeezed out four words with difficulty: "I, Zhong, Arrow, Got..."

There was a buzzing in Xue Ai's head, tears came out of her eyes, and she asked anxiously: "Wu Shuang, do you want to be okay?"

Wu Shuang rode his horse and galloped, and said: "It's okay...it doesn't matter." He reluctantly turned his head, and the pursuers had already disappeared.

After walking for a while, I crossed the shallow river on the opposite side, and not far away was a low mountain. Although the mountain was not high, it was very steep, and there were lush trees all over the mountain.

Wu Shuang reined in the reins, and the two jumped off their horses, only to see Wu Shuang's face was terrifyingly white, the arrow behind his back was deeply embedded in his shoulder, his white clothes had long since been dyed blood red, the arrow It was like shooting on Xue Ai's body, it hurt like gouging out the heart.

Wu Shuang gritted his teeth and said: "Before the pursuers arrive, let's go up the mountain quickly, and we will be fine after crossing this mountain."

Xue Ai held the child in one hand, and supported Wu Shuang in the other. The two walked up the winding stone path. The journey was too difficult. Seeing that Wu Shuang was on the verge of falling due to exhaustion, she still gritted her teeth and held on.

Xue Ai couldn't help but said: "Sit down and rest for a while, your current appearance is really worrying!"

Wu Shuang nodded, sat down on a big rock, and asked, "How is the child?"

Xue Ai said in a tearful voice, "The child is dead..."

Wu Shuang didn't speak, just closed his eyes and sighed softly. After a long time, he walked up to Xue Ai, stretched out his hand and pulled out the sharp arrow on the child's back, and said, "Bury it."

Xue Ai tearfully said: "He died for me, if it wasn't for him, I would have been hit by this arrow..."

Wu Shuangdao: "Xiao Ai is the real king, it is his honor that Jing'er can die for you."

Xue Ai smiled wryly: "The real king? I would rather not be the one who killed so many people for me alone!"

Wu Shuang said: "Don't you want these people to die in vain? You didn't kill them. The real murderers who killed them are Empress An and your father!"

Xue Ai didn't speak, and hurriedly buried the child's body in the grass, crying, "Uncle swears to God, I will never let you die in vain!"

Wu Shuang urged: "Xiao Ai, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's quickly find a safe place and pull out the arrow."

As soon as the words fell, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from a distance, hearing the sound there were many people coming, Xue Ai said anxiously: "Wu Shuang, I'm carrying you behind my back!"

Wu Shuang gritted his teeth and said, "No need! I can still do it!"
