Chapter 198 He is a civil servant, not a doctor
"It's you again." The sword in Chu Xi's hand was stained with blood, but a lot of it was washed away by the rain. As for herself, she didn't even bother to put on her straw raincoat, as her clothes had already been soaked by the rain.
The twenty or so people on the opposite side were obviously the best of the best. Although four of them had been killed and the rest were injured to varying degrees, it was not easy to get rid of them in a short period of time.
"It seems that the Seventh Prince really doesn't want Your Highness and I to return to the capital."
"It's not the first time that Old Seven has tried to kill me."
"Nalan's sword is the sharpest in the seventh prince's hand..." Chu Xi had to parry the sword moves from all sides while also paying attention to answer Zhou Yichen's words.
If he could break this sword... from the Seventh Prince, or get them out of the Seventh Prince's team, it would definitely be a good thing for Zhou Yichen.
"Of course. Old Seven spent a lot of effort to hold the Nalan sword in his own hands."
Zhou Yichen was not surprised at all. Although there was no member of the Nalan clan among the people they captured, Qi Bai also said that among the assassins they had fought a few days ago, some of them had skills that were very similar to those of the Nalan clan.
The assassins sent by the Seventh Prince have assassinated twice, each time there were seven or eight people, and...there were always two or three members of the Nalan clan among them.
Three people were killed, and one escaped, quickly hiding among the crowd.
There are too many people living in the mountains, and they are facing a flood. Everyone is in a bad mood. If they knew there were assassins among them at this time.
I am afraid that panic will occur before we even start to find the members of the Nalan clan hiding inside.
Therefore, Chu Xi did not send anyone to investigate the escaped member of the Nalan clan.
They would come to assassinate at night, sometimes two or three groups would come in one night. Chu Xi had become accustomed to it now.
The young man had an elegant face and a slender figure. If it weren't for the blood-stained sword in his hand, he would have certainly been a sight to behold.
However, Nalan did not dare to look down on the young man in front of him just because of his outstanding appearance. After all, this Prince Chu had ruined their plans several times and rescued Zhou Yichen.
The assassins who came to assassinate tonight seemed... all of them were from the Nalan family. This meant that they felt that time was running out, so the mission was urgent and they had no choice but to give it a try.
Chu Xi inherited the swordsmanship from her grandfather. The old marquis was once his disciple. His master was also a great master, but he did not like to accept many disciples, nor did he like fame and fortune, so he lived in seclusion.
Later, the old marquis followed the late emperor in conquering the world, and his already superb swordsmanship was put into practice on the battlefield. He constantly revised the deficiencies in his sword moves, and his sword reached a point where it was so sharp that blood would be stained as soon as it was unsheathed.
Chu Xi, who had received all the true teachings, might have had some habits of the gentleman sword in the past. Even in a fight, he would not take someone's life easily.
But after escaping death several times, the sword in her hand is no longer a weapon to protect herself, but a sharp weapon that must be stained with blood.
Especially in the battles with the Nalan clan, Chu Xi made remarkable progress. After each battle, she would sum up her experience and correct her shortcomings.
Chu Xi is Zhou Yichen's study partner. Chu Xi accompanies him in both civil and military studies. If we were to say who knows Chu Qibai's sword moves best, it must be Zhou Yichen.
While dealing with the assassinations of the surrounding assassins, Zhou Yichen glanced at Qi Bai's sword moves and found that Qi Bai's sword moves were becoming more and more fierce.
Chu Xi knocked one of the men's sword away with his sword, dodged the sneak attack from behind by moving sideways, and at the same time kicked the figure approaching from behind.
Her movements were so fast that it was almost impossible to see them clearly.
When I looked more clearly, I saw that two people were already injured, one with a scratch on the arm and the other with a scratch on the chest.
The Nalan clan treated themselves as cruelly and ruthlessly as they treated their enemies. They did not care about the pain in their bodies. Years of training and assassinations had made them accustomed to pain.
Not to mention scratches on their arms and chests, even if their hands and feet were broken and their meridians were severed, they would not cry out.
After spending a full two hours, Chu Xi, whose arm was also scratched three times, and a group of guards finally captured all the Nalan people who had failed to escape.
Under the dedicated protection of Chu Xi and a group of guards, Zhou Yichen did not suffer any injuries; however, he was exhausted and weak, and his hand holding the sword was shaking slightly.
Chu Xi was injured three times, twice while trying to protect Zhou Yichen and had no time to take care of himself, and once while trying to save other people.
Among the personal guards brought by Zhou Yichen, eight died and ten were injured. Chu Er and his men arrived in time, but many people were also injured and died.
"Qibai, your hand..." Zhou Yichen didn't care about the fact that he had won. He anxiously grabbed Chu Xi's wrist and lifted it up very gently, trying to take a closer look.
"Your Highness, I'm fine." Chu Xi shook his head and turned to Chu Er, "Take out all the poison they have hidden behind their teeth, and never give them the chance to commit suicide."
Chuuji nodded without hesitation.
"Also, step up patrols. This is their last chance. A counterattack could happen at any time. They may not necessarily target me and Your Highness. Other civilians may also be their targets!"
Chu Xi never felt that the only dangerous people were the Seventh and Eighth Prince's men, and the poisonous snakes lurking in deeper places, eyeing them covetously.
Chuuji obeyed respectfully, "Yes."
It was obvious that no matter what order Chu Xi gave, Chu Er never questioned or hesitated, he would just obey.
This is the minimum quality a guard should have, especially since Chu Er has been growing up with Chu Xi, and obeying orders has become a habit ingrained in his bones.
Zhou Yichen was also soaked. He cared more about Chu Xi's wound than the culprits behind the incident.
"We've finished taking care of it. Let's go back to the tent. Your wound can't be exposed to the rain. It will be very troublesome if it gets infected."
"Okay." Chu Xi really didn't plan to continue staying out in the rain. The sticky feeling was very uncomfortable.
-
Return to the tent.
When Rong Qingzhu saw the wound on Chu Xi's arm, he was so shocked that he almost forgot to speak.
"Your wound is still bleeding." He instinctively grabbed Chu Xi's hand, as if he wanted to treat the wound, but because he was not familiar with it, he really didn't know where to start.
"Can you?" Chu Xi raised his eyebrows with a smile. Instead of directly rejecting Rong Qingzhu, he pushed the question back to him.
Rong Qingzhu, “…” This is a good question.
He is a civil servant, not a royal physician.
This...is definitely not his forte.
"...Go get a doctor." Zhou Yichen heard the conversation between the two, walked behind, and instructed the guards standing outside.
Chu Xi casually put the sword aside, and then sat down on the ground where he slept. The ground was still stained with blood and rain. The scabbard had been thrown into the tent long ago and was not taken out at all.
Rong Qingzhu was stunned at first when he looked at the blood-stained sword, and then asked softly, "Have you dealt with the situation outside?"
