Chapter 219 Late arrival
These were all gangsters who came from the underworld. They were of different heights, weights and bodies. There was no strict organization, and they would not work together. Some of them even saw so many deaths that they knew they were no match for their opponent and planned to sneak away, but were stabbed from behind by their own people.
Blood was everywhere. Zhao Fangyu was in a daze from the fever in the carriage. He had no idea of the danger outside. He even held Chunshao's hand and said, "Tell mother not to worry. Zhou Qinghe didn't bully me."
Chun Shao had a sad face, gritted her teeth to steady her trembling voice, and tried her best to speak calmly: "I have already told the Madam, how is the princess, can she stand up and walk?"
Zhao Fangyu obediently tried it, only to feel her limbs were extremely heavy, but she could still stand by herself. However, just as she stood up, the carriage shook violently, and several people inside stumbled!
Zhao Fangyu was originally top-heavy, and he bumped into the edge of the table with a thud! He immediately covered his head and cried out, and Chunshao and the others had to send one of them to hug Zhao Fangyu, while the other two little girls used the table to hold the car door tightly, their faces pale with fear.
This knock seemed to bring some clarity to Zhao Fangyu. She woke up briefly, but her vision was blurry.
"Why don't you light the lamp?"
Chunshao noticed that Zhao Fangyu seemed to have come back to his senses, and hurriedly said that the carriage had been attacked, and the driver and horses had all been killed or injured, with only one hanging wall outside to resist.
Zhao Fangyu nodded, and when he saw that the doors and windows were closed, he knew that the emergency device that was installed when the carriage was built had been activated.
Such an iron-clad carriage is not new. The only thing Zhao Fangyu did was to install a layer of poison sacs on the edge of the carriage roof. The poison sacs are filled with poison powder mixed with chili powder, which can cause breathing difficulties and stinging in the throat. If someone dares to go beyond the limit, the chili powder can also make people unable to open their eyes.
Zhao Fangyu slowly took out two sleeve arrows from the innermost secret compartment, put one on himself, and handed one to the maids. There were also two daggers, so he had exactly four complete weapons.
Zhao Fangyu plucked a hairpin from his head and held it in his hand. Although he was a man who could not even hold many daggers steadily, he felt terrifyingly confident.
"If you can come back alive, I will grant each of you a wish."
Chunshao was both afraid and happy, and quickly grabbed a dagger in her hand.
She doesn't know how to use the sleeve arrow, and it's just a lump of iron at the critical moment, and is far less useful than this dagger.
The poison sac is disposable and is the carriage's only means of attack. After the killers found out that the poison sac was abandoned, they wanted to rush in and eat the women alive without hesitation!
The overhang seemed to be entangled by people, but there were only a few weak women in the carriage, who were powerless, so there was no need to make a fuss. A group of people went up to entangle the overhang, and three or five of them attacked the carriage. The long swords chopped on the carriage, and were deeply embedded in the wooden boards. Finally, they were blocked by the iron wall inside.
This is not an iron cage, but a real iron lump with no blind spots in all directions. Because it is too airtight, even Zhao Fangyu feels a little breathless.
The assassin outside seemed to be disgusted that these people couldn't even get into the carriage, and he cursed in a rural accent. An angry roar came from the carriage: "Fuck you, you piece of pure iron, come here if you can!"
The man didn't reply and he was killed by the cliff.
The curtain of Zhao Fangyu's carriage was lifted, revealing an iron wall that was integrated with the carriage! The lower end of the iron wall was jagged and interlocked with the base. If you want to lift this piece of iron plate, you can only find a mountain axe to chop it bit by bit!
When the maids heard that the killer outside could not get in, they all laughed silently for a moment. This feeling of having their lives protected was more pleasing than any gold, silver or treasure.
Three men jumped up and down, trying to rush in. Some climbed onto the roof of the carriage, some poked at the windows, and one resentful man was so angry that he wanted to overturn the carriage!
If they couldn't kill Zhao Fangyu, they would at least throw him to death. This method was obviously more reliable than breaking through the iron wall. The wheels were broken in a few strokes. The three men stood on one side of the carriage and kicked it over with a bang!
Zhao Fangyu and the others were like hamsters on a wheel. The girls were turning around in the carriage, but they only remembered to protect Zhao Fangyu in the center. They hugged Zhao Fangyu tightly, one by one, to prevent him from getting bumped or banged again!
Soon Zhao Fangyu smelled the scent of blood.
But in the dim light, Zhao Fangyu only heard a suppressed sob, and she didn't even know whose blood it was.
The sounds of fighting continued, and the houses around kept their doors tightly shut, not daring to open them.
The person on Xuanbi's body was fighting outside, and he had already attracted most of their firepower.
As the carriage became more sleepy, the small table that people used to lean on comfortably, the secret compartment for food, and the kettle and teacups filled with tea now became hidden dangers of injury.
Zhao Fangyu stretched out his hand to feel who was injured, and his fingertips were scratched by the rolling porcelain pieces.
"Wrap your wrists and neck properly! Don't let the porcelain pieces cut you!"
Zhao Fangyu silently calculated the time. It had only been half a cup of tea since the attack. Even if the people from the Military Department arrived, this amount of time would not be enough.
But the next second, someone shouted, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Fangyu was surprised, but the noise outside did soon subside. Xuanbi exchanged a few words with the people outside, and then came over and gently knocked on the door of the carriage that was scarred by the slashing: "Princess, I will lift the carriage up, you all sit down."
Soon, Zhao Fangyu felt dizzy again, and the carriage was turned over.
Chun Shao opened the mechanism and bowed to Zhao Fangyu: "We have encountered the help of the Jinyiwei. Princess, please be patient. I have sent a message to the palace. I think someone will come soon."
Speak of the devil, here comes the devil. With a burst of chaotic horse hooves clattering, dozens of black-clad armored guards surrounded Zhou Qinghe and came.
Zhao Fangyu stretched out his hand weakly from the carriage. His fingers were thin and pale, with tiny scars on them.
She was still running a fever, and several maids were supporting her from behind, and there was also a waiter outside the door waiting to support her.
The ground was covered with blood and broken corpses, and in the distance there was a horse that had been shot like a hedgehog and a coachman who had been shot through the heart by an arrow.
Arrows, weapons, broken limbs and arms were scattered all over the ground, and internal organs were exposed. The smell was complex and unpleasant.
Zhao Fangyu finally smelled the fresh air, but the high fever made her reaction much slower than usual.
When Zhou Qinghe arrived, he saw Zhao Fangyu, who looked like he had survived a calamity.
She was so thin that she seemed like she could be blown away by the wind. The cloak she was wearing was stained with blood, and there was a big wound on her forehead...
His eyes were dim and he was unsteady on his feet...
Zhao Fangyu turned around and called out to the people in the carriage to come out, but suddenly someone hugged him!
A faint smell of medicine came, and Zhao Fangyu looked at the man's hand and already knew who the person was.
