Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 48: Mutual Protection (2)
The masked man drew out his long sword and dialed Diao Ling, Yun Jin's eyes were uncertain, Shui Jing rushed up to Cheng Guan, put an arm around Cheng Guan's shoulder, "How is it? How is it hurt?" arrow.

Cheng Guan shook his head, with tears in his eyes, he didn't expect Song Qingtong to come to rescue him.

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and several tall trees fell down, and the guards hiding in the branches and shooting arrows fell to the ground with the fallen trees, and Song Qingtong froze. Surprised, gunpowder was buried here in advance!Gunpowder in this era?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, two masked men picked up Faluan and ran towards the woods to the east.

Chu Tianmo flickered, and followed closely. Song Qingtong glanced at Cheng Guan, and saw a few bloodstains on his face, presumably he was accidentally injured by random arrows, and Dong Fei also had arrow wounds on his arm. Quickly ordered Jin Yiwei: "Escort Master Dong and A Guan back to the palace to heal their wounds." He pointed his toes to the ground and chased to the east. Shui Jing Yunjin followed Song Qingtong, Chi Xiao Zhanlu and a group of Jin Yiwei followed closely.

After a while, the road became more and more difficult to walk, and there were many thorns. Here was a gentle slope. The guard ran forward and raised a knife to cut off the thorns. A forest appeared in front of him. The masked man jumped in, and Chu Tianmo also plundered into the woods.

Song Qingtong and others also entered one after another, and suddenly heard a sharp whistle from the forest, and then, arrows were fired from the branches and leaves, and Chu Tianmo said in a low voice: "Protect the emperor!"

Everyone rushed forward to call Diao Ling. Although Song Qingtong was light and agile, his movements were a little rusty. Fortunately, he was at the back and there were not many flying arrows here.

Shui Jing flicked his whisk to block Song Qingtong, while Yun Jin stood beside her, took a look at the rather chaotic situation, and pulled Song Qingtong up, "Your Majesty, let's go!"

Song Qingtong was in the middle of a fight, but unexpectedly, an irresistible force brought her body up by Yun Jin. Song Qingtong was startled, but she couldn't tell that Yun Jin was very strong. Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Bad news!
Shui Jing happened to look this way, and saw a flying arrow with the sound of the wind, shooting straight at Song Qingtong from behind, Shui Jing's soul almost didn't fly out, opened his mouth, and the voice was stuck in his throat.

Yun Jinyin held the silver dart tightly in her sleeve, glanced at the direction of the water mirror from the corner of her eye, and quickly retracted the dart. Song Qingtong wanted to dodge it, but with her skill, she might not be able to dodge it, but it's a pity that Yun Jin Without giving her a chance, he raised his hand to wrap her in his arms, turned around at the same time, only heard a "poof", and the flying arrow shot Yun Jin.

The familiar timeless smell lingered in his nostrils, Song Qingtong laid his head on Yun Jin's chest, and immediately smelled a strong smell of blood, he was shot by an arrow!Hurrying to support Yun Jin, he looked over, the handle of the arrow flashed with a cold light, and the other end sank near Yun Jin's left shoulder blade, the blood stained the white clothes red!
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, the flying arrows in the forest stopped firing, and everyone's eyes were focused on Song Qingtong and Yun Jin.

Chu Tianmo flew over and saw that Song Qingtong was unharmed, so he let go of his heart and raised his hand to support Yun Jin. Fortunately, the injury was not serious.Shui Jing hugged Song Qingtong into her arms, her heart was beating irregularly, at this time Shui Jing only felt a wave of fear, and said next time she would not be allowed to come to such a dangerous place.

Song Qingtong let Shui Jing hug her tightly, feeling regretful in her heart, she could have dodged that arrow just now, and a master like her had to block the arrow with someone with a little knowledge of martial arts.
After a while without seeing Shui Jing let go, Song Qingtong said softly, "Shui Jing, look at Man Qing's injuries."

Shui Jing's body froze slightly. If possible, he hoped that he was the one who blocked the arrow for her just now. He glanced at Yun Jin who was standing silently with his arms on his back. His long eyelashes drooped, and there was no trace of pain from injury on his face. Slowly let go of Song Qingtong, stepped forward, "Mr. Hua Gui, I will stop the bleeding for you." He saved Tongtong, he must be magnanimous.

On the other side, Chu Tianmo glanced at the forest with a sharp gaze, and ordered Jin Yiwei: "Follow the Li Gong rebellious party!" Jin Yiwei got the order, and rushed into the dense forest in black.

Song Qingtong gently supported Yun Jin, let him lean on her shoulder, turned her face and said, "Manqing, it hurts, bear with it."

Shui Jing held the arrow handle, and pulled out the sharp arrow cleanly, blood spurted out, and the blood splashed on Shui Jing's face, Shui Jing just frowned slightly, and immediately sprinkled the special golden sore medicine prepared in advance on the wound At the place where the bleeding stopped quickly, Song Qingtong tore the hem of his clothes into cloth strips, and carefully wrapped it up for Yun Jin. Shui Jing looked at it, feeling a burst of envy again, maybe it was more than just envy, but he didn't want to go. Thinking deeply, maybe he just needs a while to get used to it.

Song Qingtong finished bandaging Yun Jin, took off the cloak she was wearing, put it on Yun Jin's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Manqing, I will send someone to take you back to the palace first, and I will go and see you when I finish my work here. you."

Yun Jin nodded and said yes, lowered her eyelids, glanced at the clothes on her shoulders, her nose smelled a clean and pleasant smell, her long eyes sparkled with stars, Song Qingtong ordered Chi Xiao and Zhan Lu to prepare a carriage and send Yun Jin off Back to the palace, Chi Xiao Zhanlu looked at each other, they wanted to stay and protect the emperor.

Song Qingtong smiled: "I have Xiangfu and Shui Jing by my side, so there will be no danger. You escort Mr. Huagui carefully, and the carriage should drive slowly." Easy to handle.

Chi Xiaozhanlu supported Yun Jin from left to right, Yun Jin took two steps, then suddenly stopped and turned around, just about to open his lips, but saw Shui Jing took off his robe and put it on for Song Qingtong, He swallowed all the words on his lips, turned and left.

Song Qingtong recalled the explosion just now, glanced at Chu Tianmo, and asked, "Father Xiang, how about the casualties of the guards?"

Chu Tianmo didn't expect Song Qingtong to ask this, he was taken aback for a moment, and called the captain of the guard to ask.

The chief guard reported: "Five people from the Royal Forest Army were killed and 17 people were seriously injured. The accompanying military doctors are treating them."

"If the military doctors are not enough, pass on my oral order and bring them back to the palace to be treated by the imperial doctor."

Song Qingtong ordered, in fact, Chu Tianmo could have waited for Chengguan to safely withdraw from the forest, and then assembled Jin Yiwei to go in and round up. Chu Tianmo was indeed loyal, but sometimes reckless for the sake of victory. If Dong Fei hadn't tried his best to protect Chengguan, She couldn't imagine what the consequences would be like.
