Chapter 314: Drag the person back with one hand?
Chapter 314: Drag the person back with one hand?
Tang Yuhuai calmly pulled the reins and dodged to the right, but the horse's speed was not as fast as the arrow. The tip of the arrow brushed Tang Yuhuai's left hand, cutting a hole in his armor and blood quickly oozing out.
Qi Jianshu has amazing arm strength. An ordinary arrow in his hand can actually cut through armor. It can be seen that Qi Jianshu has practiced sword skills a lot in private.
"Tang Yuhuai, how is your injury?" Chu Xi frowned, glanced at Tang Yuhuai's arm, and subconsciously raised his tone.
"Don't worry about it." Tang Yuhuai felt the pain in his left arm, but he did not hesitate or pause at all.
"This little injury is nothing."
Compared to Qi Jianshu who was chasing him relentlessly, Tang Yuhuai really didn't take this minor injury seriously.
Chu Xi nodded.
She understood what Tang Yuhuai meant. Compared to the wound on her arm, Qi Jianshu, who might shoot another arrow at any time from behind, was obviously more troublesome.
Chu Xi lowered his eyes and glanced at his chest.
She was not sure whether Qi Jianshu was pursuing her relentlessly for revenge. If that was the case, he was most likely targeting her!
Tang Yuhuai, who was sitting behind her, was purely implicated by her, and was hit by the arrow innocently.
"How about we switch positions?" Chu Xi thought about it. Rather than exposing her identity, she didn't want to implicate innocent people.
Tang Yuhuai knew what Chu Xi meant, he chuckled and said in a relaxed tone, "Are you looking down on me?"
Chu Xi knew that Tang Yuhuai was interrupting on purpose and didn't want to really switch places with him. "No, I just don't want Qi Jianshu to vent his hatred for me on you."
When she threw the sword, her original intention was to injure Qi Jianshu and buy Shi Zheng time and opportunity to escape.
But no one expected that what happened later would completely exceed her expectations.
Jian Qi died while blocking the sword for Qi Jianshu. Qi Jianshu was filled with hatred and threw the spear in his hand, aiming it at Shi Zheng's back and shooting it through his body.
It seems like no one won this round, both sides lost one person, and it's a draw.
Judging from this incident, Shi Zheng’s death was also indirectly related to himself. Chu Xi did not want Tang Yuhuai to follow in Shi Zheng’s footsteps.
So, she didn't give Tang Yuhuai another chance to refuse. She turned sideways, put her hand on Tang Yuhuai's uninjured right shoulder, and decisively somersaulted to sit behind him.
Tang Yuhuai was stunned. Qi Bai's move was obviously beyond his expectations.
But before he could move, a slender white hand rested on his right shoulder and pressed down, "Don't move. If you move again, we might both fall down together."
"But..." There is danger behind, and there is Qi Jianshu. Who knows when an arrow will be shot at him.
Tang Yuhuai did not hide his worries, "You threw your sword away, and now you don't even have a weapon in your hand. How are you going to deal with the cold arrows behind you?"
Chu Xi decisively pulled out the sword that Tang Yuhuai had tied to his waist, "Isn't this good?"
Tang Yuhuai opened his mouth, obviously not expecting Qi Bai to do this, and his reaction was quite quick.
Chu Xifei turned around, put his back against Tang Yuhuai's back, took off a wristband from his wrist, and tied his waist and Tang Yuhuai's waist together.
Her eyes fell on the back where another arrow was nocked. The arrow flew off the string and hit Qi Jianshu's face again. Then she raised the sword to block the incoming arrows.
"There's no need to change positions. I can handle it." Tang Yuhuai felt the touch of Qi Bai's back against his, and he felt an indescribable numbness in his heart.
With pursuers behind him, even if Tang Yuhuai felt something strange, he didn't have time to investigate it carefully.
He quickly looked away, "As you said, Qi Jianshu hates you now and will never do this to you..."
Show mercy.
How could Chu Xi not know? It was precisely because he knew that he could not implicate innocent people anymore.
She sighed softly, and faced the three arrows shot by Qi Jianshu at once, and quickly opened them with skillful movements, "Your hand is injured. If you get hurt again, I will feel guilty. If you don't want me to feel guilty, don't fight with me for a seat in the back."
"Sit tight." Tang Yuhuai is an excellent rider and is better than Chu Xi in this respect.
In order to save time and prevent these Western Chu soldiers from entering the city, he deliberately sped up and rode in a straight line.
Although the curve does make it more difficult for Qi Jianshu to hit the target, it will affect the speed.
Maybe Qi Jianshu could catch up with him if we delay for a long time.
The only thing he could gamble on was that Qi Bai could handle it, and he had to race against time.
Tang Yuhuai rode his horse along the edge of the city gate and entered the main gate, but Qi Jianshu stopped decisively when Tang Yuhuai's horse was less than one meter away from the city gate.
If he chases further inside, he may be able to rush in.
But when they really rushed into the city gate, the other party immediately bolted it and locked it.
Then he would be the one who offered himself to you.
It makes it convenient for Chu Jiang and his men to close the door and beat the dog.
No matter how fast the Western Chu soldiers behind him ran, they could not catch up with Qi Jianshu on horseback.
Qi Jianshu stopped his horse and raised his hand. Following his gesture, hundreds of well-trained Western Chu soldiers behind him stopped in their tracks.
He only glanced at the city wall quickly, his expression changed immediately, and he raised his voice, "Retreat!"
Along with his voice, arrows also flew down from the city wall.
If Qi Jianshu hadn't been so eager for revenge and blinded by hatred, he would have kept chasing until he reached the city gate.
Otherwise, with his keen sense, he would never have reacted until he reached the city gate.
As soon as Qi Jianshu finished speaking, all the soldiers realized something was wrong and turned around and ran away.
Even so, it was still a step slow.
Hundreds of arrows were shot down from the city wall. The Western Chu soldiers who were eager to chase and kill Chu Xi and Tang Yuhuai did not bring any shields. Facing the flying arrows, they could only passively take the beating.
There was a city gate across from us, and there were constant wailing sounds outside the gate.
Chu Xi untied the wristbands tied around his and Tang Yuhuai's waists, tied them up again, and jumped off the horse.
Bian Hangqing's eyes were red and he was crying silently. Facing the soldier who was carrying him on a stretcher to the inn for medicine, he shouted without thinking, "Get out! Get out!"
Han Yaojun didn't say anything, just looked at Bian Hangqing in silence.
Chu Xi squatted down silently, "Sorry."
Apart from these two words, she didn't know what else she could say.
Ultimately, she was too confident and thought she could definitely save both of them.
But in reality, is there anything absolute?
Even God can be powerless sometimes, right?
Bian Hangqing didn't know whether he didn't recognize Chu Jiang's voice or he was simply venting his anger and didn't want to pay attention to anyone.
He still only had one cold roar, "Get out!"
Chu Xi sat on the ground, not caring about the injuries on his body. His eyes, which always had a light that seemed never to go out, were dimmed.
One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of hundreds of soldiers. So... that's how it is.
Tang Yuhuai really couldn't stand such a depressing atmosphere.
"Have you made enough noise? You want to take Shi Zheng back, but how are you going to bring him back in your current state?"
"Have you limped over there and then dragged the person back with one hand?"
