The bearded man and two other people kept an eye on his situation. Even though Uncle Jiang was powerless to resist, they did not dare to relax at all. Years of military service had made their senses extremely sharp. The man in front of them was the second son of the Duke, whose status was extremely noble, and there could be no mistakes.
But at this moment, Uncle Jiang, who seemed to have no ability to resist, suddenly jumped up, leaped into the air, and in the blink of an eye, he had already engaged Xu Ying.
Although Xu Ying had also practiced martial arts since childhood, he was no match for Uncle Jiang, who was well-trained and had even accumulated military merits. After just a few moves, he was hit by Uncle Jiang. He could not hold the long sword in his hand, and the long sword fell to the ground. His wrist was numb and was still shaking unconsciously, and he could not continue for a while.
The bearded man immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed over to take Uncle Jiang's move. The other two also rushed over and protected Xu Ying behind them.
Xu Ying finally had time to catch his breath. He covered his still trembling right hand and looked at Uncle Jiang and the bearded man fighting not far away with hatred, shouting, "Kill him!"
It's late at night and there's no one around here, and it's in the wilderness. What would it matter even if I killed these people
As for the fact that they came down from Baihe Temple in full view of everyone, so what
His father and brother have plenty of ways to cover it up for him. As long as there is no evidence, even the Song family will have to suffer the loss and admit defeat, not to mention that the Song family's background is not clean!
But even though the bearded man was very brave, Uncle Jiang was still able to hold on tenaciously. It was unclear who was the winner between the two of them. Xu Ying's eyes turned red as she watched, and she couldn't help but urging the two people around her to go and help the bearded man.
The two men were hesitant, so Xu Ying shouted a few words at them, then slowly got off the horse, fumbled in the backpack on the horse's back for a while, and pulled out a crossbow arrow hidden in it.
This was a gift given to him by Duke Cheng on his birthday.
It’s something from the Shenjiying.
He now held it in his hand and pointed it at Uncle Jiang, but the person he was thinking of was Song Heng.
His mind moved as he pressed the mechanism, and the crossbow arrow shot out.
An arrow hit Uncle Jiang's left shoulder, and he fell down. His horse immediately let out a long cry towards the sky.
Xu Ying was so overjoyed that he ran over without thinking, pushed aside the bearded man, squatted down and searched Uncle Jiang who had been restrained. Finally, he felt a hard object from his arms. He immediately turned the thing out and found that it was a six-inch square box with a lock on it. It looked very delicate.
This thing...
His heart was beating fast. He reached out and fiddled with the lock a few times, but the lock was not locked!
What's going on
He subconsciously pulled out the lock, opened the box with a snap, and then was stunned.
Inside was not the top-secret letter as imagined, nor was it a jade pendant with a dragon pattern or a token of identity that could be proved. It was just a small porcelain bottle.
What is this
Before he could react, there was a sound of breaking air passing by his ears. Before he could react, he felt a sudden pain in his chest. The huge force made him fall backwards. He looked down in disbelief and saw a feather arrow stuck in his chest.
At this moment, he heard the sound of horse hooves and shouts. Enduring the severe pain, he saw the person clearly. His eyes widened instantly and he spat out the name viciously: "Song Heng!"
Song Heng! It turned out to be Song Heng!
He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then a bloody taste rose in his throat, making him want to retch uncontrollably.
At this time, the stunned bearded man and others finally reacted, shouted, and rushed forward to cover Xu Ying's wound.
But the arrow had already penetrated his body, and he did not dare to make a decision for a moment. At the critical moment, he just relied on his experience to cut off a part of the arrow handle and wanted to escape with Xu Ying.
But before they could do anything, a team of Jinyiwei led by Song Heng had already arrived in front of them in a menacing manner.
At this point, how could the bearded man not guess that he had fallen into someone's trap
He felt bitter in his mouth. He saw that the people around Song Heng had already dismounted and helped Uncle Jiang up, but Song Heng was walking towards them. He was so frightened that his heart felt like it was going to jump out of his chest. He could only stand in front of Xu Ying and stop Song Heng with a stiff upper lip: "We are..."
Song Heng didn't even look at them. The strong and slender Jinyiwei around him pounced on the bearded man and his men.
The bearded man was shocked, and he immediately realized that they were attacking the guards of the Song family. If Song Heng wanted, he could treat them as assassins and execute them on the spot.
I really got fooled!
The bearded man was extremely depressed, but as things had come to this point, he had no time to think about it. If he delayed any further, those Jinyiwei would definitely kill them all.
But if we reveal his identity, Song Heng is not the only one in Jinyiwei who can cover up everything...
The bearded man was moved and shouted: "We are..."
Before he could finish his words, Chen Dong, who was in front of him, had already raised his sword and unsheathed it when he was completely unprepared. He chopped off his head with swift movements.
Almost at the same time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard not far away. Lai Weiqi also came galloping with a group of people. Seeing the scene in front of him, his face suddenly turned pale. When his eyes fell on Xu Ying in the distance, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he shouted angrily: "Song Heng, what did you do!?"
Song Heng was checking Uncle Jiang's injuries. Hearing this, he looked up at Lai Weiqi.
The two people's eyes met, one was dark like a bottomless ancient well, the other was like a erupting volcano.
After a short confrontation, Lai Weiqi asked again coldly: "Song Heng, are you crazy? How dare you allow your subordinates to kill people? Do you dare to do that even though you know their identities?!"
Xu Ying, lying on the ground, was breathing weakly. He struggled to open his heavy eyes. When he saw Lai Weiqi, his eyes brightened, but he immediately vomited blood.
Lai Weiqi noticed it immediately and felt a pang in his heart.
Xu Ying is the son of Duke Cheng, and has a noble status. If something happens...
He looked at Song Heng angrily and asked, "He is the son of Duke Cheng, and you actually attacked him?! What is your intention?!"
Song Heng was a little confused. He turned his head to look at Xu Ying, and slowly helped Uncle Jiang, who was injured by the arrow, to stand up. He said coldly, "So what?"
So what? !
Lai Weiqi was so angry that he almost laughed. He sneered, "Even if you are a deputy of the Jinyiwei, the person in front of you is the son of a first-class duke. You committed a murder without any reason. Do you know what the crime is?!"
