Man Bao and Bai Shan felt that they had been swimming for a long time, so long that the breath in their chests was almost used up, and they were thinking about whether to take out the things to take another breath, when they saw the light...
Then the two struggled to swim upstream, and after the water came out, they couldn't help but open their mouths to breathe, then wiped the water on their faces and looked around, and saw someone murmuring in the distance, "I didn't see anyone—"
There were also people in small boats fetching water around, but they also said they didn't see anyone.
Man Bao and Bai Shan took a closer look, only to realize that they had swam to the center of the lake at some point.
As soon as the two of them emerged in the lake, the person who was looking for them in the boat was the first to see them, and immediately pointed the stick in their hands to the center of the lake, "There are people—"
The people who were searching near the point where they fell into the water immediately swam over to them...
Daji, who was lying on the shore, looked up at them to make sure that they were both fine, and then lay down on the ground again.
Bai Erlang, who emerged from the water, was stunned for a while, then suddenly shouted: "Run, go to the shore by yourself, it will cost a thousand dollars to be rescued..."
This side is a bit far from the center of the lake, but Bai Erlang's voice is not low, Bai Shan and Man Bao who were resting by paddling in the water heard it immediately.
They didn't know the story of Qianjin, but this didn't prevent them from listening to Bai Erlang's words, so they turned around and headed to the shore at Anxiangguo Temple.
But their water skills are there. Even if they can swim well, they can't swim in a boat. They only swim less than a third of the way before they lose their energy, and then they are overtaken by the rowers. Then pull on the boat.
The person who pulled them into the boat also said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, little man and lady, even if we want a bounty, we can't really ask for a thousand pieces of gold. You just need to pay the money."
Those who were still thumping in the water were particularly sorry, they passed by the money.
The boat sent them back to the shore. Feng Zongping, who couldn't swim, stretched out his hand to pull them up, and asked with concern: "Are you all right, where are the two assassins?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao's faces were still pale, and they said, "It's at the bottom of the lake."
The voice was very light, but it made people feel chills.
Bai Erlang also climbed up from the water, sat down beside Daji and said, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive..."
His voice was a little choked, and he didn't know whether it was water or tears on his face, but the circles of his eyes were a little red.
Daji, who was lying on the ground, finally fainted in relief.
Man Bao quickly glanced at everyone, seeing that they all seemed to be injured, and Daji was the most seriously injured, so he squatted down to look at him.
Bai Shan glanced around and saw that there were guards with knives around them, so he couldn't help looking at Feng Zongping.
Feng Zongping said: "It was the people sent by the Jingzhao Mansion and Mr. Tang. Thanks to them, they took down the assassin. Oh, and these common people."
It was only then that Bai Shan discovered that there were several civilians sitting outside the guard circle, they were also wounded, and many people got up from the water, obviously they all went into the water to look for them.
Bai Shan asked Bai Erlang, "What's the matter with the daughter?"
Bai Erlang said: "Yin Yu said, if you save us, you will be rewarded with a hundred gold, and if you go into the water, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and then many people will jump down."
Feng Zongping couldn't help laughing at this moment, and said: "It's a good thing you broke free from the assassin and came up, otherwise we really have to give a thousand gold."
Bai Shan glanced at the people sitting paralyzed on the shore and said: "That being said, there should be more of them. Today's disaster is caused by us. In this way, everyone who goes into the water and rescues us will be given ten gold. Those who are injured will be given ten more gold, and those who have contributed a lot will be given another ten gold."
As soon as these words came out, the participants who were originally sitting on the ground immediately became excited and shouted: "Young gentleman is really grand, why don't we send the gentlemen back, we have a large number of people, forgive those Xiaoxiao I dare not come again."
Bai Shan smiled and said, "Then thank you all."
The captain of the Jingzhao Mansion on the side said displeasedly: "It's fine if we are here, why do you need to send them off?"
Yin Or, who was sitting on the ground, raised his head and said, "Let them give it away, it's always safer if there are more people, and I just took the bounty."
The captain said nothing.
Man Bao has already checked Daji. He is a little seriously injured. Fortunately, the official who came has wound medicine, and he has already been given hemostatic medicine.
She glanced at other people who were also injured and said, "Send it to Jishitang."
The wounded man, who wanted money but didn't want his life, shouted: "It doesn't matter to us, let's send the gentleman and the lady home first."
Man Bao: "...I'm going to see the doctor too."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Changshou: "Please run back to my house and ask my family to send the money to Jishitang, where we will give the bounty."
It is also dangerous to bring so many people home.
Changshou looked at Yin or.
Yin nodded slightly.
So the group moved to Jishitang.
Because there were assassins, the street coming to Xiangguo Temple was blocked. At this time, no entry or no random exit is allowed. Many people are hiding in the shops on both sides, guarded by officers and soldiers every five steps, and they will screen for assassins after they leave.
It's not just because Yin He and Feng Zongping are here, but more importantly, Bai Shan and Zhou Man are here.
The king of Yizhou fled, and he no longer had to hide his inner thoughts, so he killed as soon as he wanted.
But the imperial court will no longer cover up its vigilance, and put the protection of Bai Shan and Zhou Man on the bright side.
Perhaps in the face of national affairs, the emperor didn't care much about the lives and deaths of the two young men, but Old Tang Master said, "This also involves the face of the court. Your Majesty, after both of them are meritorious officials, they exposed the evil deeds of the king of Yizhou. If they are still at the feet of the emperor and let them be killed by the king of Yizhou, it will damage the face of the court and the majesty of your majesty."
Because of this sentence, the emperor even sent out the imperial army.
They arrived at Jishitang unimpeded along the way.
These patients were a bit unusual, and they were considered half of their own people, so the shopkeeper Zheng Da immediately led Dr. Ding and others to jump in line to deal with them.
Daji, Baishan and others were taken to the backyard for treatment, and other passers-by who were injured because of their help lined up in the front hall to see a doctor, but many of them were only wet from the water, so they sat outside the door, twisting their clothes and drying them. sun.
Dr. Ding personally took care of Daji's injuries, and Man Bao helped him.
Daji had many wounds, most of which were sword wounds. Fortunately, none of them were critical, but two wounds were a bit deep.
Doctor Ding cleaned the wound and sewed it up. After the wound was cleaned up, Xiao Shao also boiled the medicine.
Man Bao gave Daji an injection to wake him up, and made him drink the medicine before continuing to faint.
Feng Zongping and the others were also injured, and only Yin was frightened. When he stepped back, he accidentally fell and scratched his skin.
However, Feng Zongping's injuries were not serious. After all, the main force was on Daji's side, so they only dealt with two of them, and there were so many people to help.
After treating everyone's wounds, Bai Erlang stared at Bai Shan and Man Bao, "Why are you still so pale? Are you also injured?"
Man Bao can check himself, and after touching himself, he said: "It's okay, I was beaten a few times, there is no internal bleeding, and there is no broken bone, it's just swelling and pain for a few days."
Bai Shan is a little serious, Doctor Ding said after the examination: "He has to be careful, I prescribed some medicine to stop the bleeding inside, it may hurt his ribs."
