Xie Ming

Chapter 533: Injured
A sudden change caused new branches to grow!
Xiao Lang, on his side, reunited with Qin Jing and fled to the back corridor, dodging the thief's flying arrows.

But over there, Ma Weimin was being targeted by the killer as expected.

The door was broken with a clang, and the old man Ma came out from the inner room with four or five thieves.

Before the other person could react, a cold arrow suddenly came!
Fortunately, Ma Weimin was lucky enough to dodge the first round of hidden shots.

Afterwards, seeing that the unlucky thief under him had many holes in his body caused by arrows, Ma Weimin cursed inwardly and quickly picked up a dead man and hung him on his back.

whoosh-

Whoosh, whoosh.
The hidden arrow attacked again, heading straight for Ma Weimin!
At this moment, Xiao Lang and Qin Jing had arrived not far away.

Ping Pong

There were the sounds of a few swords sweeping across and feather arrows being chopped to pieces.

"Old horse!"

"Don't make a fucking fool of yourself!"

"Follow me quickly!"

At the same time, Xiao Jingchuan hurried up to Ma Weimin and blocked a few arrows for him. He then grabbed Ma's arm and tried to pull him to hide behind the side corridor, where the arrows would hit him in a blind spot, and then talk about the rest.

But what Xiao Lang was not prepared for was
The hidden arrow was deflected, but the enemy below was pretending to be dead and was actually difficult to defend against.

Just wait for Xiao Jingchuan to step forward and grab the old horse.

Suddenly!
Just when he was about to kill the thief who was pierced through the chest by a hidden arrow, he suddenly attacked again!
He chopped down Xiao Lang's face with a knife!
"General, be careful!"

In the dim light, Gu Changting, who was fighting on the roof, glanced at the situation in the courtyard and saw that Xiao Lang was in danger. As the distance was far away, he could do nothing and could only shout to warn him.

Upon hearing this, Xiao reacted in a flash.

He quickly parried with his sword.

However, the chopping knife had such powerful force and strength that it was a desperate struggle.

Xiao Jingchuan found it difficult to fully compete for a while.

The downward force was just as powerful, brushing past the horizontal blade of the Xiao Dao, producing sparks, and then continuing to press down.

Xiao Lang raised his arm high and blocked the attack with his sword, but he was not careful and the inertia was unable to stop, so the enemy thief chopped him on his left arm.

Immediately, the sleeves were torn, the red flesh inside turned inside out, and a column of blood gushed out!

"what--"

"Go, Duke!"

Seeing the crisis suddenly occur, Qin Jing, who was standing beside him, came to his senses and also went crazy. With one blow of his knife, he chopped off the head of the thief who had tried to assassinate him.

He was afraid that there would be more attacks from hidden arrows, so he hurriedly pushed Xiao and Ma and quickly hid under the other corridor.

At this moment, the situation of the roof is also thrilling.

Gu Changting led the best fighters in the team and helped me clean up the main house and kill the thieves.

Thinking of the safety of General Xiao in the corridor, he rushed there anxiously. Without delay, he jumped over the walls to the left and right. Regardless of the fact that the enemy situation was unclear in the dark moon, he rushed forward recklessly and attacked fiercely. After a few breaths, he was fighting a life-and-death battle with the group that had just shot and injured people.

On the rooftop, shouts and cries of fierce fighting continued.

The rubble was unstable and was trampled upon, causing it to fall along the eaves and onto the courtyard, breaking into pieces.

From time to time, one could see people who had been hit and died, falling to the ground one after another.

At this moment, Xiao Jingchuan turned around and leaned against the pillar, covering his knife-injured arm with his hand.

Just as he was about to speak, he instructed Qin Jing on some follow-up matters.

But suddenly!
A whistle sounded at the corner gate of the courtyard.

Soon after, the cavalry from the side yard came to support, and the situation was finally reversed.

If you look closely, you can also see that at this moment, Mei Gongheng has finally come to help with the government servants and servants.

Judging from the situation, this sneak attack has come to an end.

A few moments!

Just when the courtyard of the Third Hall of Zhenjiang Prefecture was filled with a large number of troops that suddenly poured in, Gu Changting, leading the team from the eaves, had already wiped out most of the remaining bandits.

"Come, someone come!"

"Quick! Come up to the room!"

"Where did these thieves come from? Catch them all for me!"

The prefect Mei Gongheng made some hindsight remarks and shouted them out.

However, the yamen runners were weak in their own skills, and it was just a lot of noise but little action. As for the support, it depends on the soldiers in Xiao Jun's own team.

These veterans can easily climb over walls and grab tiles.

There were a few teams with good skills who climbed up the wall without being asked to help the deputy general Chang Ting.

"Oh, this, this"

"What are you talking about? How could it be like this?"

"The Duke——"

"My lord!"

"Outside, the situation outside has been controlled!"

"Be still, oh, be still!"

"Once the thieves are completely eliminated, it won't be too late for the Duke to show up again. Ah, it won't be too late."

Mei Gongheng's duties were insignificant, but his worldly-wise and flattering skills were still there.

What's the point of being incompetent at the moment? Not only am I unable to defeat the enemy, but I also never forget to flatter my superiors.

I saw this fellow bowing and being supported by several clerks standing beside him, looking confused and panic-stricken, and hurried to the front door of the house.

I saw that the door was half open, so I reached out my hand, but before it even touched it, I quickly withdrew my hand.

This fellow and the other two or three clerks in front of him were looking at each other, fearing that Xiao was in the inner room with Mei Niang and could not leave yet.

If you rush in rashly and then encounter disgust, that would not be good!
So, in the awkward hesitation, a few people squatted at the wall, guarded the door, and laughed and talked about these things, which was really ridiculous.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, suddenly!
creak-

The door opens!
Inside, Mei Niang appeared in front of everyone with her clothes on.

So Zhou's clerks went up with lanterns to look.

She had a cold face, frowned, and then gave Mei Gongheng a cold look.

He didn't say much, just stared at them with resentment, as if the two of them really had some hidden agenda that they couldn't say in front of others.

Seeing this, Mei Gongheng was also stunned.

"Uh, you"

"What about him?" Magistrate Mei was in the midst of a chaos and had no time to discuss other matters, so Qing hurriedly asked.

"It didn't work, so I left!"

"How should I know where I went?!"

Mei Niang was not in a good mood and grumbled back.

"Hey you!"

"You little slut, good-for-nothing!"

"You, okay, you can do it, wait, after this matter is over, I will deal with you!"

Mei Gongheng lowered his voice and uttered a very obscure and vicious curse, but now it can be seen that his face is filled with remorse.

If this guy really has nothing to do with this ambush, then he may have other tricks in his plan.

Bang!

This gave Magistrate Mei a shock!
The door of the main house was then slammed shut by Mei Niang from the inner room.

Obviously, this lady was really angry.

Mei Gongheng was speechless in response, and he himself was also filled with anger.

But what time is it now?
The situation in the courtyard was tense, so he didn't have the time to worry about these things.

Just when he was hesitating, angry and at a loss.

Suddenly, from the corridor not far away, Xiao called out again.

"Mei Gongheng, Magistrate Mei!"

"What are you doing?"

"I, Xiao, am over here. You've found the wrong door and are crying at the wrong grave!"

Xiao Lang's face was pale now, and his left arm was oozing with blood, which had dyed most of his arm red, and his hand was also covered in blood.

Qin Jing was standing by and tore off a piece of cloth from the edge of his clothes to bandage the wound and stop the bleeding.
