Chapter 1169 Doubts about Gengzi Volume
Having made so many preparations, she didn’t expect that this kind of thing would happen to her. Feng Ziying couldn’t help but sigh secretly when she was hit by an arrow from the sky and fell off her horse.
As a time traveler, the most important thing is of course his own life, so Feng Ziying paid special attention to his own safety from the time he went to Jiangnan.
If he spared no effort to find guards to protect himself when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, it was because his strategy of opening up the sea would harm the interests of some forces in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, Lin Ruhai's status as a salt patrol censor itself was a high-risk position, and there would inevitably be risks if he got involved. Fish plague, so this kind of preparation makes sense.
But when he decided to go to Yongping Prefecture to serve as the magistrate, he even formed a large **** team, including his own family members, which seemed to be a bit of a fuss.
Although Zhu Zhiren also said to be careful when sailing a thousand-year ship, Feng Ziying knew that many people disagreed in their hearts. Not to mention you, a small fifth-grade magistrate, even among the fourth-grade prefects, no one seems to be as aggressive as herself. look.
Although there are one or two guards around the ministers in Beijing, they are not up to the level of him. According to Feng Ziying's own evaluation, his security force is almost as good as that of the cabinet ministers.
Of course, the protection force of the generals in the army is another matter. After all, they have been fighting the enemy at the border for a long time, and once they are killed by snipers, it will have a great impact on the entire military town. Therefore, like the general soldiers of Jiubian Military Town, The guards around the governors are very strong.
Sometimes Feng Ziying herself felt that she was a little too suspicious or made a fuss. Even though she had touched the interests of some people, the murder of officials was a huge event in the Zhou Dynasty. Not only the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment had to intervene, but It is the duty of the Imperial Guard to get to the bottom of this case and the case will never be closed.
Those who dare to assassinate officials are almost always subject to the heinous crime of confiscating their families and exterminating their clans. Under such circumstances, no one will do such a thing easily unless absolutely necessary.
But today he finally understood that since time travelers have countless benefits and have the aura of the protagonist, they will naturally bear corresponding risks, and finally realized it.
The severe tearing pain in his shoulder made him almost squeeze out tears, but when he fell from the horse, his right hand also pulled out the narrow-edged knife at his waist. He needed to be prepared for a fatal blow if necessary. .
He didn’t believe that the other party was over with just one arrow. Since he dared to attempt an assassination, there would definitely be follow-up killing moves, but Third Sister You and the other three guards would not turn a blind eye.
The moment he fell from his horse and landed on the ground, he was a little confused. Under the huge impact of the arrow, he fell heavily to the ground, making him dizzy. At this time, he also wanted to thank Sanjie You for helping him before setting off. Prepare.
Thin round steel sheets were decorated on several key and easily attacked parts of his chest, vest, shoulders, lower abdomen, and legs. This carefully ground steel sheet was a product of the iron-making workshop. The weight is very light, and it is about the size of a palm, but it cannot protect the whole body.
Feng Ziying has always felt that this is a kind of psychological comfort. It is hard to say how effective it will be on the battlefield or in a surprise attack.
But now Feng Ziying realizes that this kind of thing is really indispensable sometimes, especially when traveling in the wild, and when encountering long-distance shooting, the effect is immediately apparent.
The arrow cluster broke through the steel piece and embedded itself in Feng Ziying's shoulder. Although the severe pain made him almost faint, he could still feel that the shoulder armor steel piece played a great buffering role.
The opponent's arrow pierced his shoulder not too deeply, probably only about an inch. Without the protection of this layer of steel armor, this extremely ferocious arrow could easily penetrate his shoulder blade and tear it apart. The bones, tendons and flesh of the entire shoulder.
When they saw Feng Ziying's guards rushing towards the siege, the two assassins knew that the best opportunity had been lost, and it was even difficult for them to escape now.
The ghost woman with the weird black scimitar had reached an advanced level of strength and skill in swordsmanship, and she suppressed the sword-wielding assassin firmly, making it difficult for him to escape.
Seeing the Jiao Jiao who was as anxious as pear blossoms in the rain, the nervousness and fear in the gray-blue eyes made the entire pupils seem to dilate. He supported himself with one hand, and waved the sword with the other hand, while Zuo Liangyu He flexibly pulled the horse over to block Feng Ziying and Third Sister You. At least the huge body of the horse could cover the opponent's arrow attacks to a certain extent.
"My lord, my lord, are you okay?" Sanjie You was really frightened out of her mind. This was the first time she had experienced such a dangerous situation. Compared with the head-on fight at the top of Ganzhou City, it was completely different. Two concepts.
"It's okay, it's not a big problem. Oops, this shoulder..." Feng Ziying bared her teeth and saw that Busia Mara had completely taken control of the situation, and the other two people had also locked their opponents firmly, and one person was on guard with a sword, where the arrow was coming. The hillside was also filled with sword aura, and it was obvious that someone was fighting. Feng Ziying knew that the problem was probably not serious.
The next scene was as expected. While receiving the bandage from Third Sister You, Feng Ziying's face, which was slightly pale due to blood loss, was also a little gloomy.
The entire river bank was in chaos. The refugees didn't know what was happening and were running away in all directions. This also gave the attackers a good chance to escape. However, Busia Mara still killed the attacker with the assistance of two guards. A sword-wielding assassin, and the swordsman jumped into the river to escape under the protection of the sword-wielding assassin's desperate sacrifice.
As for the two archer assassins, according to what the guard of the Su family in front of him said, they were supported by someone. While chasing the two archers, he was ambushed again by the opponent's crossbowmen. In addition, there were too many refugees and the situation was chaotic, so Failed to succeed.
"Master Feng, Ji is ashamed. He had discovered that these two people were acting suspiciously in Fengrun, but at that time he did not realize that these two people would assassinate you. He just thought that these two people might have some conspiracy. So I wanted to see what these two people wanted to do, but I didn't expect that I lost track of these two people on Yutian Road. After searching for a while and wasting time, I found out that the two wanted to assassinate you, so I didn't have time to warn you, so I had to go ahead. Killed the two, but it was already a step too late..."
Hideji Yoshida looked apologetic and apologized with his hands clasped in fists.
Feng Ziying waved his hand. Naturally, he would not believe what this person said, but it did not seem like he was also part of an assassination group.
If they are really a group, the other party can completely hide and not show up. Knowing that showing up at this time will easily arouse suspicion, but still coming out, it shows that the other party is not worried about his subsequent investigation.
"It's nothing. Feng is very lucky. This little trick can't kill Feng. But Feng is also curious about who is so hostile to Feng. I also encountered this in Jiangnan, well, and in Ganzhou. This happened almost once, and I didn’t even understand. What on earth did I do that was so outrageous that it would arouse the dissatisfaction of so many ghosts and monsters, and I had to put Feng to death?” Feng Ziying said happily: “It seems that I am indeed You have to check it carefully, otherwise you will be hit by an arrow this time, and it may not be so simple next time."
However, Zuo Liangyu did not let him go easily. He pressed the knife with one hand and said calmly: "Brother, you said you found those two suspicious people in Fengrun. Why didn't you report them to the official?"
"Sir, I am also a Jianghu person. Although I am now working as a guard with the Su family, I still don't want to deal with people in the government. The Su family has traveled from Jiangnan to the capital and is famous all over the world. I have seen many Xiaoxiao who are secretly watching. Many, if she reported her to the official every time and caused a lot of trouble, then the Su family would probably have fired me long ago, and she would simply stop working."
Hideji Yoshida was also prepared and was not afraid at all.
"Before, I wasn't sure whether these two people came for Mr. Feng or the Su family. In Ji's opinion, they probably came for the Su family, because Ji had encountered this situation several times in Jiangnan. , there are always some wishful thinking people who want to do that dirty and debauchery, and Ji is thinking that Mr. Feng is a member of the government, how can he have anything to do with these people from the rivers and lakes, and it is well known that the people do not fight with the officials. , who dares to stroke the tiger's beard? That's why Ji will hang on from a distance to see what these two people want to do. Who would have thought that they would suddenly attack at the Guhe Ferry..."
Zuo Liangyu's eyes were shining brightly, and he had been looking at Yoshida Hideji, but Yoshida Hideji behaved calmly and generously, and in the end Zuo Liangyu just snorted and said nothing more.
Feng Ziying was also observing the extraordinary man in front of her. She wrapped the wound on her shoulder tightly and asked Sister You to hold it carefully for her.
It's really surprising that the personal bodyguard of a famous Jiangnan prostitute has such a high standard, but you can't say anything about it. It's true that some people just hide in the city, and it's hard to say anything about such people in the rivers and lakes, but he always I feel that this person is less like a pure martial artist, and has more of a special flavor.
"Anyway, I still have to thank Mr. Ji. If Mr. Ji hadn't restrained him in time, I'm afraid we would still have to bear a lot of pressure." Feng Ziying smiled faintly, reluctantly raised her hand and said, "If there is any need in the future, Feng helped me, so feel free to speak up.”
"Yoshi is ashamed. I didn't help much in the first place, and almost endangered your safety. Fortunately, Yoshi and the heavens are kind. If such a situation happens next time, Yoshi will not dare to be careless again." Yoshida Hideji quickly returned the gift.
