"My lord …"
"Take down the assassin!!!"
Everything happened too suddenly. When they came back to their senses, Jiang Ji, who was sitting on the main platform, was already lying in a pool of blood. Jiang Ji had already fallen into a pool of blood.
The assassin student did not have time to do anything else. The war horse under him suffered a heavy blow and kept neighing in pain. Before the student could do anything, someone grabbed the horse's neck and leaped up. With a sweep, the student fell off the horse's back, causing him to see stars.
"Dislocate his jaw and break his limbs. Don't let him die!" Jiang Nongqin did not even look at the assassin. She grabbed him by the neck and threw him to her trusted assistant general and soldiers. Her expression was as fierce as a Rakshasa's. She quickly ordered, "Gather all the generals to seal off the drill ground and camp. From now on, not even a fly is allowed to fly out. Whoever dares to disobey will be killed on the spot! Do you hear me!!! "
"Yes, my lord!"
Jiang Nongqin was shocked and angry. She acted swiftly and decisively. She directly sent soldiers to surround the audience and students in the drill ground.
The students were so frightened by this turn of events that their legs turned to jelly. Their faces were as pale as if they were painted with a thick layer of white paint. Their minds were empty and they almost forgot how to think. In contrast, the reactions of the scholars, noblewomen, scholars, and officials were relatively calm.
However, everyone had different thoughts. Their expressions and reactions were slightly different too.
Some were worried about Jiang Ji. Would Ji die because of this? Some were worried about whether they would be implicated. Some were worried about the safety of their families … Today, everyone present was in trouble. Jiang Ji? It was fine if Ji Wuji died, but if anything happened …
Everyone's faces were pale.
The Duke of Lanting was assassinated in public. The world was probably going to change.
These people either stood up or sat on the spot. They looked nervous but did not dare to act rashly. They were afraid that they would misunderstand and be stabbed to death by the group of soldiers who were eyeing them fiercely. Only Jiang Ji's important official was not worried. Ji Yi's important official did not have any concerns. Wei Ci even ran over with his bare feet. The gravel on the drill ground piercing his soles could not hide the piercing pain in his left chest. His mind was blank. His body followed its instinct to go to Jiang Ji. Ji.
"Doctor!!!"
"Where is the doctor!!!"
Wei Ci carefully helped her up but did not dare to make any big movements. He was afraid that the arrows that pierced her flesh would cause her a second injury.
Following Wei Ci's movements, everyone saw Jiang Wan. Ji Yunshu's clothes on her left chest and shoulder were dyed red by the blood. Her right hand was holding the arrow, and her palm was soaked in blood. The blood flowed down her arm and dyed her sleeves the same color. When everyone saw this, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Not to mention the location of the wound, just the amount of blood showed that her injury was not light.
Wei Ci felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. At this moment, his mood was actually the same as when he first heard His Majesty riding a dragon from the sky in his previous life.
At that moment, the beating heart in his left chest seemed to be frozen and sealed, and a chill spread throughout his entire body …
"Why isn't the doctor here yet …"
In his previous life, he had died of old age, but this life was different.
How could he accept such an accident happening to her?
Today was the equestrian archery assessment. In order to prevent any accidents, the best doctors in the military camp and the city were all on standby.
Never in a million years would he have thought that the one in trouble wasn't a student, but the Duke of Lanting!
Jiang Nongqin captured the assassin. She still could not believe that the student could actually hurt her god-like lord.
How could that be?
Jiang Nongqin's expression looked calm, but her chest was churning with the urge to kill.
However, she was still rational. She knew that she could not kill the assassin yet. They still needed to interrogate the assassin and follow this clue to catch the real culprit.
Hmph …
When the real culprit surfaced, she would definitely tear the person into pieces.
Jiang Nongqin personally led the soldiers to surround the main platform. She was afraid that the assassin had accomplices. The students of the Golden Scale Academy, especially the first batch of students, were all orphans of the fallen soldiers, except for a few students who came from aristocratic families. Their lord had nurtured them for more than ten years, but now there was an assassin. Who knew if there were accomplices of the assassin among the soldiers in the military camp?
Now, apart from the lord, everyone present was a suspect for Jiang Nongqin.
Not long after, a few doctors rushed over with medical kits.
From their disordered breathing, it could be seen that they had also rushed over as fast as they could.
After passing through the human wall, the doctors put down the medical kit with a thud and gestured for Wei Ci to put Jiang Wan down. Jiang Wan was put down.
At this time, Lv Zheng, who had been the background for a long time, said, "Get a screen to surround this place."
Kang Xintong, who came with Lv Zheng as his adopted daughter, stood outside the human wall. Her status was not high enough and the situation was serious. She could not get close. She could only stand on the spot and clench her fingers anxiously. She secretly prayed that the Lord of Lanting would turn misfortune into blessing and that nothing would happen to him.
Not only were the people on the drill ground worried, but the salted fish in the live streaming room was also frightened.
They were watching Jiang Wan. For so many years, they had seen her kill anyone who stood in her way. She was the epitome of Long Aotian.
A person who dared to charge alone with thousands of men and horses could not dodge the three arrows shot by the assassin?
The bullet screen changed from the original flirtatious comments to cheers and prayers.
Only one bullet screen was different. That salted fish was Weibo's programmer. He prayed together with the server.
Just as he sent this bullet screen, WeChat and QQ's work group exploded. The department management specially called him to work overtime.
Salted fish, the programmer, was speechless.
The streamer was shot by an arrow, and the Weibo server was paralyzed in the next second.
Sigh …
Rubbing his cold forehead, the programmer held a cigarette in his mouth. His expression was one of the vicissitudes of life.
Before working overtime, the programmer posted his indignation on his WeChat Moments.
[Assassinated? Hehe, if she really was assassinated, the national football team would not only win the World Cup, but it would also win it for a hundred years!]
The existence of the live streaming room was too special. People in related industries were highly enthusiastic about the live streaming room. Many scientists had even set up research projects, hoping to draw inspiration from it and vigorously develop artificial intelligence and cross-dimensional technology.
The programmer was no exception. According to their research on the live streaming room, the live streaming room had a certain relationship with Jiang Wan. It was like the parasitic relationship between the system and the host in the system novel. If the host's life was in danger, it was impossible for the live streaming room to be quiet.
However, this was not something that every salted fish knew.
When they saw Jiang Wan. She was covered in blood and motionless, they felt like their brains were about to explode.
On the other side, under Lu Zheng's reminder, the soldiers took out folding screens and linen to create an area for the doctors to check on the injuries.
Feng Zhen and the others retreated, but their eyes were still on Jiang Wan. In Jiang Wan's direction.
They looked calm, but their palms were wet with sticky sweat.
Their lord had been assassinated in front of their eyes.
Thinking of this, Feng Zhen's mood was like Jiang Nongqin's. His chest was filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, he heard someone gossiping.
They thought their voices were low, but the drill ground was silent. Even the lowest voice sounded noisy.
The person said to his friend, "The Duke of Lanting was assassinated. It's fine if she can survive this, but if she can't … She has no children. The one who will ascend the throne in the future will either be her concubine brother, Liu Zhao, or someone from the Liu family."
Another person said, "The Duke of Lanting is now in his twenties. Girls of the same age can already have children, but she … Could it be that she was born with some hidden disease and can't bear children? It's a pity that her reputation was ruined by an assassination. Her hard-earned foundation has been taken advantage of by her concubine brother. "
Now that the distinction between the legal wife and the concubine was clear, the scholars valued the legal wife more. The concubine was just a little higher than the servants in the manor.
"Yes, the Duke of Lanting is successful and a legal wife, but she has no children. In the end, she has to be taken advantage of by a concubine …"
If the Duke of Lanting passed away, wouldn't the people in the afterlife be angry and come back to life?
"That Wei Zixiao just said 'save the emperor', didn't he? Heh, he didn't ascend the throne when he was alive. If he can be conferred the title of great ancestor after his death, he can barely use the words' save the emperor ', "the person said in a low voice. "Liu Xi has never hidden his ambition. She even dared to accept 'surpassing the emperor' …"
Hearing this, Feng Zhen was so angry that he pulled out the sword at his waist and wanted to settle the score.
At this time, they were still saying such sarcastic words to sow discord. Did these two people want to die?
However, someone moved much faster than him. Before Feng Zhen could go over, the two people had already been kicked in the head.
"Arrest these two people and detain them for interrogation!"
The person who spoke was an angry Liu Zhao. No one knew when this brat had run over from the other side of the seats.
Feng Zhen suppressed the surging anger in his heart and took a deep breath to calm himself down. He didn't want to lose control and vent his anger on Liu Zhao.
At the same time, the heavily injured Jiang Ji opened his eyes. However, Ji opened her eyes and raised her hand to push away the doctor's action.
She used Wei Ci's strength to lean in his arms. She pulled out the arrow that was deeply embedded in her shoulder with a little force with her right hand.
"I'm fine."
The doctors, Wei Ci, and Jiang Nongqin looked at the blood flowing out of the wound on her shoulder and fell silent.
Wei Ci's hands that were holding her arms tightened slightly. He ground his teeth hard as if he was holding back something.
The doctor saw Jiang? Ji woke up and pulled out the arrow herself. She was in a daze.
Jiang? Ji didn't see Wei Ci's expression and looked up at the other person.
"Nongqin."
Jiang Nongqin didn't have time to think about what had happened. She only knew that her lord was fine. That was enough.
"I'm here."
"Later, you and Zixiao will continue to preside over the assessment and comfort the students. Don't let this affect their results."
Jiang? Ji had her own plans, but she didn't want to affect the students' results. This assessment had a great impact on their futures.
Jiang Nongqin didn't agree immediately. Instead, she looked at Jiang Ji awkwardly. Ji Yunshu's lips moved, but no words came out.
After a while, she bowed her head and cupped her fists, saying hoarsely, "This general obeys."
As he spoke, the doctor took out a hemostatic powder and sprinkled it on Jiang Xiang. The wound on Ji's shoulder — was the arrow aimed at Jiang? Ji's heart came, but Jiang? Ji was not a vegetarian. She easily avoided the vital parts, but in order to make it look like she was seriously injured, she purposely made the wound bigger and let the blood flow out. It looked very scary. In fact, as long as the bleeding was stopped and the wound was bandaged, it would be fine.
Wei Ci glanced at the arrowhead, then looked at Jiang Yu. For the first time ever, the back of Ji Yunshu's head disobeyed the order.
"Forgive me for not being able to comply with the Lord's orders."
His voice sounded dry and hard, as if he were choking something in his throat.
However, Jiang Nongqin could see that Wei Ci's eyes were bloodshot.
Ginger? Ji did not make things difficult for him. "Then, Zi Shi and Nongqin will be in charge here. I'll hide my injuries for now. "
"Is this intentional, my lord?"
Jiang Nongqin asked the question in her heart. At the same time, she felt an indescribable anger.
Which villain was worth the Lord hurting herself to plot against?
Who was worthy!!!
Jiang? Ji said, "It's just a chess piece."
Although she said that, the pain in her arm still made her frown slightly.
Wei Ci became even quieter after hearing this. He only held Jiang Xiang in his hand. He just held Jiang Xiang's arm and loosened his grip.
Jiang Nongqin did not ask anymore. She trusted Jiang Xiang wholeheartedly.
Jiang Xiang? Ji's injury was not fatal, but she was a little dizzy after losing so much blood. She leaned back and nestled in Wei Ci's arms.
"Zixiao, carry me back."
No one knew what was going on in his mind.
He felt a long-lost familiarity from the Lord.
This familiarity was no different from Her Majesty in his previous life.
In a trance, Wei Ci saw the shadow of Her Majesty in his previous life. Even the scheming smile on her lips and the coldness in her eyes were exactly the same. Every time this happened, Wei Ci always felt that the person in front of him did not belong to the secular world. Her body was in the secular world, but her heart was out of it. She looked at everyone coldly, as if she was watching ants fight. Her eyes were full of contempt, mocking how naive and ridiculous the scheming of the people was.
Wei Ci said, "Yes."
The screen was removed. Jiang Xiang left the drill ground under the protection of the guards. Jiang Nongqin stayed behind to deal with the aftermath.
When everyone heard that the assessment would continue, their faces were as colorful as a palette that had been overturned.
The life and death of the main character was unknown. How could they have the mood to watch the assessment?
However, Jiang Nongqin said, "My lord is highly skilled in martial arts. The thief only suffered superficial injuries. After being bandaged by the doctor, he is fine."
Everyone was speechless.
If he was really fine, why did he leave in a coma?
The wound was on the left side of his chest. No matter how they looked at it, he did not look fine, let alone a superficial injury.
Jiang Nongqin saw that she could not reason with him, so she used force to threaten him.
This trick worked. The drill ground quietened down in an instant.
Jiang Nongqin calmed the remaining examinees with a cold expression, indicating for them to continue with the assessment.
The assassination of the Duke of Lanting was a big deal. These students had been protected by the academy for many years. They had not experienced the hardships of the wind and rain, so their hearts were not strong enough.
Therefore, few of the remaining 20 students performed normally. However, their foundation was still there, and their scores were not bad.
When the examiner announced the new round of scores, not many students cared about this. They were all concerned about Jiang Xiang. Ji and a few clever students turned their eyes to Feng Zhen, Feng Jin, and the others, hoping to infer from their expressions that Jiang Xiang was Ji. Ji's specific situation.
"Will the Duke of Lanting be fine?"
Sun Lan's tone was a little weak.
Feng Yi said with certainty, "The Duke of Lanting will be fine."
The two of them were no longer interning in the military camp. They were only students who had not graduated from the Golden Scale Academy. They could not be called Jiang Xiang.
"Do your part well." Feng Yi added, "Father and the others have not panicked yet. How can we panic?"
In reality, Feng Yi was not sure what to say.
His eyesight was excellent. He could see where the arrow was pierced. Even if it was not the center of the chest, it was not far away.
The heart, brain, and throat were the three fatal points of the human body.
The heart was fragile. Even a graze could kill. Little did he know that the arrow was indeed aimed at the heart, but at the last moment, Jiang Xiang grabbed it with her right hand. She even fiercely stabbed the arrowhead into her left shoulder to create the illusion that the wound was on her chest.
"Zixiao … it hurts …"
Jiang Xiang? Ji hummed softly. There was a rare hint of coquettishness in her tone.
Wei Ci did not answer and asked him to make a special appointment for Jiang Yan. Ji's trusted physician came over to clean her wound.
The arrow was specially used by the soldiers in the military camp. The arrowhead had a special structure. When it was pierced into the flesh and pulled out, it could hook out the skin and flesh.
Wei Ci was more worried about the filth on the arrowhead. It would be troublesome if it caused the sequelae of high fever and pus.
History told him that many famous generals died like this. They did not die on the battlefield, but from the filth on their wounds.
The sequelae he mentioned was called tetanus _ (: з) ∠) _ in the salted fish dimension.
The physician bowed and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry to have offended you."
After that, he took out a clean pair of scissors and cut off Jiang Xiang's sleeve and shoulder. After saying that, he took out a clean pair of scissors and cut off Jiang Xiang's sleeve and shoulder.
Seeing the wound clearly, the physician gasped.
Jiang Xiang? Ji leaned against the table and sat up. She bent her legs and said lazily, "I haven't even cried out in pain. What's with that look?"
The physician was speechless.
She didn't cry out in pain?
Then who was the one who shouted "Zixiao, it hurts!"?
Her wound was already blooming, yet she was still so stubborn. I didn't expect her to be such a person.
The physician used his excellent medical skills to help Jiang Xiang. Ji cleaned and stitched up the wound. After giving a few reminders, she left.
Wei Ci was not a soft-hearted person, but Jiang Yusheng was not a soft-hearted person. But Jiang Xiang was a surprise to him.
Seeing the bloody wound, all emotions disappeared. Only worry and heartache were left.
"The assassins this time — do you know who sent them, my lord?"
The students of the Golden Scale Academy, except for a few, were the orphans of soldiers who had died in battle. It was equivalent to the lord raising them … Who would have thought that there would be a traitor among them? Who would actually wait for an opportunity to assassinate Jiang during such an important assessment? Ji?
"Zixiao, this is not important."
Wei Ci's heart thumped. He had a vague ominous premonition.
Was this targeting Jiang Xiang? Who was the mastermind behind Ji's assassination was actually not important?
Could it be …
"Zixiao, when we were not paying attention, the Golden Scale Academy became a chess piece in the struggle between the various forces." Ji said, "Students of commoner origin still have a shallow foundation. I don't blame them. They are too insignificant and have no right to control themselves. "
Wei Ci understood after thinking for a while.
Jiang Xiang? Ji asked again, "Do you know who the force behind the assassination of my students is?"
Wei Ci did not know, "Please enlighten me, my lord."
Jiang Xiang? Ji laughed softly, "It's the Liu family."
Wei Ci was speechless, "The Liu family?"
"Yes, the Liu family." Jiang Xiang smiled lazily. Ji Yunshu smiled lazily. "If news of the assassination were to spread, the Liu family would probably panic."
Panic?
Why would it be 'panic too'?
Unless —
Thinking of his lord's bad temper, Wei Ci suddenly understood.
"The Liu family didn't order the student to assassinate?"
Jiang Xiang? Ji said, "Zixiao is smart. This student is a pawn they bribed. I don't know when he will come in handy."
Wei Ci frowned.
Since the lord said so, it could be seen that this pawn was a hidden pawn for the Liu family. It would not be moved easily.
"Then who could it be? Who would use the eyes and ears that the Liu family secretly controls to assassinate the lord and kill with a borrowed knife … "
Before he finished speaking, Wei Ci suddenly choked. His eyes met Jiang Xiang's. Ji's eyes.
At that moment, her smile was like a flower.
