Having Xuan Tianming test the arrow was Feng Yu Heng's greatest guarantee that her method was correct. She had to let everyone know that the method she was teaching was correct. Only when people completely believed in it could they avoid the greatest sacrifice.
She nodded to Xuan Tianming, and the two did not waste any time. Xuan Tianming immediately dismounted and began to run forward. He ran back and forth and even began to draw circles.
Feng Yu Heng pulled out a bow and arrow from her sleeve, automatically ignoring the twitching lips of the people who saw her pull out such a large bow. She nocked an arrow and drew the bow. Taking a deep breath, she took aim in the direction that Xuan Tianming was running.
Everyone held their breaths. Feng Yu Heng demonstrated the tracking arrow. Although they had seen it before at the military camp, every time they saw it, they would be as shocked as the first time. Tracking, chasing after a running target, allowing the arrow to adjust its trajectory. It sounded very strange, but there were people that were able to do it. In the past, they believed that this move from Qian Zhou's divine archery skill would be enough to kill these hidden guards that were proud of their movement skills. Now, however, they had Princess Ji An. Not only did she also know how to use tracking arrows, she could even teach them how to avoid tracking arrows!
Dashun's hidden guards felt a surge of energy in their hearts. If they were able to learn this move, the bastards of Qian Zhou would definitely have them pay a bloody price for the harm that they had done to them in the past!
Feng Yu Heng's bow was already fully drawn, and Xuan Tianming began to run even faster. In fact, he had already used qinggong. His body began to soar, and he began to flee into the distance! At the same time, the sound of the bow being drawn could be heard. Feng Yu Heng released the bowstring, and the arrow flew through the air, creating a resonance in the air.
Everyone's eyes widened as they watched nervously. They saw the arrow fly in a curve in the direction of Xuan Tianming's escape. It closed in on him step by step. Wherever Xuan Tianming ran, it would chase after him. Regardless of whether it was a detour or a loop, the arrow seemed to have eyes as it chased after him relentlessly.
Finally, the arrow came within 30 paces. Xuan Tian Ming's ears twitched slightly, as he accurately calculated the distance. His body that had been moving quickly suddenly stopped. Like a statue, he did not move at all.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, and some of them even covered their hearts with their hands. This kind of nervousness was even more intense than when a great disaster was about to befall them. The arrow was very close. If Xuan Tianming couldn't dodge it, then he would definitely be hit. They almost didn't dare to imagine how the Northwest Barracks would continue if their commander was hit by the tracking arrow again.
But at this moment, the arrow that was originally heading straight for Xuan Tianming, after he stabilized his body, ran a dozen steps forward and quickly slowed down. Finally, he landed on the ground about ten steps away.
The Homing Arrow missed.
Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a breath once more, as they all looked at Feng Yu Heng. While they were shocked, they also sighed in admiration.
On the other side, Xuan Tianming had already retrieved the arrow from the ground. Waving it around, he loudly said: "Did you all see what I just did?"
The hidden guards all nodded and said in unison: "We watched carefully!"
"Un." Xuan Tianming said: "Now, I has personally tested the method of dodging. Reality has proven that it is completely feasible. This means that from this day forward, Qian Zhou's divine archery team will no longer be a threat to us." He paused for a moment and looked at the expressions of the hidden guards, saying: "This time, we were also guessing that the brothers ahead had most likely run into people from Qian Zhou. Right now, there is no time to lose. We must quickly catch up."
After he finished speaking, he mounted his horse and wanted to call for everyone to continue forward; however, at this time, he heard the sound of hooves coming from the forest. It was not fast, and the hooves were still a bit chaotic. It was approaching from the direction where Xuan Tianming had just tested his sword, and it carried the smell of blood.
Ban Zou's figure moved, as he went ahead to investigate. When he returned, he was carrying an unconscious person on his back. Behind him was a lame horse.
Everyone was stunned and gathered around to take a look. Upon seeing this, they could not help but be shocked! It turned out that the injured person had been pierced through the chest by an arrow. They could even see the tip of the arrow. Blood covered the back of the horse, but it was not red. Instead, it was black.
One of the secret guards called out, "This is Old Six!"
Feng Yu Heng did not recognize him. She looked at Xuan Tianming and saw that Xuan Tianming had a frown on his face. He reached out and pressed down on that person's shoulder, gently saying: "Old sixth, wake up."
Ban Zou whispered to her side: "This is his highness' hidden guard. He is one of the ten people responsible for protecting the young master on his way to Xiao Zhou."
Feng Yu Heng's heart skipped a beat. Without another word, she quickly reached out to check that person's pulse, but she found that his pulse was so weak that it was almost non-existent. He was already no different from a dead person. She then looked at the arrow wound in his chest. Black blood continued to flow out. It was clear that the arrow was poisoned.
Xuan Tianming asked her: "Can you save him?"
Feng Yu Heng's brow furrowed, only saying: "I'll try." Then she reached into her sleeve and quickly pulled out a pair of surgical gloves. After putting them on, she pressed down on the wound. With this press, even more black blood flowed out. The injured person's nerves twitched, but he still did not wake up. She helplessly said to Xuan Tianming: "I can perform surgery to pull out the arrow and stop the bleeding, but I can't cure the poison."
Feng Yu Heng felt particularly powerless at this moment. China's five thousand years of wisdom had not been used on the right path, but instead used a lot of crooked methods. She had the most advanced medical equipment, so internal and external injuries were not a problem. However, if she did not have an antidote for this poison, then even if she was Feng Yu Heng from the future, she would still be helpless.
"Princess, is there really no way to save him?" A hidden guard who was familiar with old sixth couldn't help but ask.
Feng Yu Heng also had no other choice. She could only tell the truth: "Everything else is easy, but this poison … … has already entered his heart."
Everyone sighed. They could all see that this person's injuries were very serious. Not to mention the black blood flowing out, even the skin around his neck had changed color. It was clear that the poison had already entered his heart. A small foreign country like Qian Zhou was most proficient in using poisons. Also, their place was quite North, and there were snowy mountains everywhere. The people of Dashun were completely unable to understand what sort of poison could be created in the snowy mountains. Princess Ji 'an had said that being able to cure the arrow was already a miracle. To have her cure a poison that had already entered his heart, even a deity would not be able to do it.
Everyone looked at old sixth, who had already fallen into a deep coma and was on the verge of dying. Their hearts were filled with an indescribable sadness, but they were all trained hidden guards. From the first day that they became hidden guards, they understood what their mission was. They lived for their master and died for their master. They could not even blink. Life and death were already common occurrences for them. The sadness that had appeared in an instant quickly disappeared. Someone said: "For him to run back with this kind of injury, there must be some news that he wishes to bring back."
Xuan Tianming nodded. After thinking a little, he asked Feng Yu Heng: "Is there a way to temporarily wake him up?"
Feng Yu Heng thought a little then said: "There is a way, but his injuries are too serious. After this method is used, I fear that it will lose its effect and he will immediately die."
"Use it!" Xuan Tianming did not hesitate in the slightest, but his gaze towards old sixth was filled with endless heartache. "We will remember this debt. There will come a day when we will go and collect the debt from the creditor!"
Feng Yu Heng did not hesitate any longer. Reaching into her sleeve, she quickly pulled out a syringe. While operating, she explained to everyone: "This is a cardiac stimulant. It can temporarily wake up a person on the verge of death, but the duration is very short. Once the effect wears off, the person will immediately die." As she spoke, the needle had already pierced into old sixth's muscles and slowly began to inject the medicine.
Not long after, the syringe of medicine was completely injected. After waiting for a while, the originally unconscious person suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng in disbelief, his eyes filled with confusion.
Feng Yu Heng took the initiative to speak: "You are called old sixth right? When we found you, you were unconscious on the back of a horse. The horse was running in the direction of the capital. Your injuries were too serious, so I could only temporarily use medicine to forcibly wake you up. However, this medicine has a fatal side effect, which is that its effect is very short. Once it loses its effect, you … … "
"You're going to die soon, right?" Old sixth had already woken up and immediately shook his head, "It's fine. This subordinate rushed back with heavy injuries for the sake of being able to meet up with masters. I will keep this short. The group escorting the Feng family's young master was attacked. The enemy was from Qian Zhou. They were skilled with arrows, and their arrows were strange. They were the same as the arrows that had shot his Highness. Ten of our hidden guards were all hit by the arrows. The other nine died on the spot. I was lucky and still had a single breath left. After those people left, I rode on their unwanted horses and returned to report. The Feng family's young master was taken away by those people. They went … went North. "
When he spoke to this point, his eyes suddenly widened. The immense pain in his body was something that he could not endure. His eyes bulged, and it was as though they would immediately explode.
Feng Yu Heng grabbed his hand and loudly said: "Old sixth, thank you. Thank you to everyone. Don't worry. Ten lives, I, Feng Yu Heng, will definitely make up for every single one of them! "
She could feel the trembling of Yu Fa's hand. That person's eyes gradually revealed his reluctance to part. He swept his gaze over the people surrounding him and used the last of his strength to say, "Brothers … are still here, in front!" In the end, he passed away heavily.
For a while, the atmosphere became extremely tense. Even Xuan Tianming's eyes were red. His anger could not be hidden.
Feng Yu Heng forced herself to calm down first. She then quickly began to take care of the corpse. While wiping away the blood on the corpse, she said: "Everyone, immediately begin digging a hole. We cannot allow our brothers' corpses to be left in the wilderness."
Everyone heard the order and immediately began digging. Feng Yu Heng was very professional at taking care of the corpse. She even pulled out the arrow in the chest. But after pulling out the arrow, she did not throw it away. Instead, she put it back into her space. Huang Quan asked: "Young miss, what are you keeping that arrow for?"
She gave a cold snort and said: "I'll keep it. When I meet my enemy one day, I'll return it to him!"
When she spoke, her voice was mournful. A great hatred filled the mountain forest and infected everyone around her. The hidden guards were no longer surprised by her continuously taking things out of her sleeves. Everyone was waiting for the day when they could take revenge for their ten dead brothers.
Finally, the hole was dug. Feng Yu Heng took out a white cloth from her space and wrapped it around the corpse. Xuan Tianming personally carried it into the burial hole and then filled it with dirt. Ban Zou found a piece of wood. Xuan Tianming carved that person's name with his dagger and inserted it into the dirt.
Everyone bowed deeply towards the lone grave in the wilderness and then mounted their horses. Xuan Tianming pointed forward and said: "There are still nine brothers waiting for us. After burying them, we'll go get revenge!"
