After Zhang Dashou gave the order, he turned his head and saw a bamboo arrow galloping towards him. There was flame on the arrow, which scared him so much that he shouted loudly.

Hu Cheng was more alert than Zhang Dashou. Just when Zhang Dashou screamed, he had already turned over and dismounted.

The bamboo arrows rushed past his cheeks. He shouted loudly as he ran towards the carriage:

"Protect Doctor Li! Protect Doctor Li!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

In the blink of an eye, the rocket was like a locust, shooting from three different directions, front, left and right.

Only then did Zhang Dashou feel scared and then turned around and fell off the horse to avoid the goal being too high and too obvious.

"Protect, protect Doctor Li! Protect Doctor Li!"

In desperation, if Hu Cheng's shouting was not echoing in Zhang Dashou's ears, he almost shouted loudly, "Protect the manuscript of Compendium of Materia Medica".

Just as Hu Cheng turned over and fell off the horse and shouted "Protect Doctor Li", Gu Qingyun had already pulled out his big knife and rode his horse to Li Shizhen's carriage.

Click!

He raised his sword and quickly slashed a rocket flying towards the carriage with his eyes and hands.

"Don't panic, everyone!"

"Protect Doctor Li!"

As the leader of this Jinyiwei, Gu Qingyun took the lead and protected the carriage.

After all, they were carefully selected Jinyiwei. They quickly gathered towards the carriage and surrounded it in a sarcasm.

Unlike Zhang Dashou, no one of the more than 20 Jinyiwei dismounted.

Hu Cheng had already gotten into the carriage, not because he was so scared, but because he was worried about the safety of Li Shizhen and the manuscript of "Compendium of Materia Medica".

"Sir Hu, what's wrong with it outside?" Li Shizhen and Li Jianyuan asked anxiously.

"Someone fired an arrow and robbed the manuscript. If a thief comes to snatch the manuscript in a while, we will proceed as planned and we must ensure that the person and the manuscript are absolutely safe."

Hu Cheng calmly instructed that Li Shizhen's men and the manuscripts of "Compendium of Materia Medica", and that he would not be able to submit a job when he returned to Beijing.

He always keeps this in mind.

Li Shizhen and Li Jianyuan and his son nodded.

Li Shizhen also gave an anxious instructor: "Mr. Hu, manuscripts are more important than people."

The implication is that he can be denied his life, but the manuscript of "Compendium of Materia Medica" cannot be lost.

Hu Cheng had no intention of debating at this time, so he quickly jumped off the carriage, and his feet were not yet on the ground, and a rocket flew over.

In the middle of the car curtain.

The curtains caught fire.

The coachman was so scared that he screamed, "My mother, those dog thieves are so bold. Isn't the emperor in the car sacrifice that he wants to invite?"

Little do I know that this is the reason.

Fortunately, the Jinyiwei was very powerful, and they all looked at death and protected the carriage with great confidence, but they were unable to shoot down all the rockets shot from all three directions at the same time.

Seeing that the car curtain was on fire, Hu Cheng tore his sleeves apart, then wrapped his hands and pulled the rocket down with the burning curtain.

Zhang Dashou hid behind the carriage, and his face was pale. When did he encounter such a scene? I wonder why these people came.

It was the first time Hu Cheng met in his life, but he had "Compendium of Materia Medica" in his heart, so he showed courage as if he was protecting his calf.

The Rockets are still speeding around.

But there is no one.

Look at this situation, there are people who have been ambushed in front of the road and on both sides of the left and right.

"You gang of lifeless dog thieves have the ability to come out and fight to the death with you!"

Gu Qingyun was immediately raising his sword and was not afraid of danger, but no one paid attention to him at all.

Suddenly I heard a neighing horse.

It turned out that a horse was caught in an arrow.

The horse is already afraid of fire. Once it is frightened, it will jump around and it will be impossible to control it.

Then another roar was heard.

"No, they shoot horses."

The Rockets no longer aimed at the Jinyiwei people or flew over their heads, but instead sank the horse, as if they understood the principle of "shooting people first".

The horse was frightened and neighed continuously. The Jinyiwei was powerless, and the scene was in chaos for a while.

The two horses that Hu Cheng and Zhang Dashou rode long ago didn't know where they were galloping.

Seeing that sitting like this and only knowing how to defend is not a solution. Gu Qingyun made a quick decision, raised his sword in his hand and directed it, raising his arms and shouting:

"You five rushed to the left, you five rushed to the right, you five followed me and rushed forward, and the rest protected Doctor Li in the same place. If the protection is not strong, we will only die when we return to Beijing. Do you understand? Bounce it for me-"

Gu Qingyun rushed forward with the first sword.

Instead of being passively defending, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

Other Jinyiwei also understood this truth instantly.

"Run!"

"Run!"

"Run!"

They rushed in three directions, six in front, five in left and right, and the remaining nine were in place.

Hu Qingyun's decision was bold and could be said to be a desperate bet.

But there is no choice.

I don’t know what the other party is, nor how many people the other party has come.

The road was densely filled with burning bamboo arrows.

The sky is clear and the temperature is already high.

As a result, it was even more intense and it felt like it was immediately roasted.

A total of sixteen Jinyiwei rushed out, but in the blink of an eye, some were caught in the horse.

But at this time, even if there are swords and seas of fire in front of you, you have to rush forward and not retreat.

Zhang Dashou slipped to Hu Cheng and asked tremblingly, "What should I do now? There are many people on the other side, why don't we retreat the same way?"

Hu Cheng shook his head: "Since you are targeted, you can't solve the problem even if you retreat."

"Then aren't we waiting for someone to slaughter here?"

"Let's see the situation first." Hu Cheng said, "It doesn't matter if we die. The key is to ensure the safety of the manuscript of "Compendium of Materia Medica" and Dr. Li."

Zhang Dashou didn't dare to say anything, thinking about how much hatred those people had? What is the difference between being anxious and jumping over the wall? Will there be a good life in the future?

Although the Jinyiwei suffered casualties, it rushed up regardless of life and death, and it still played a certain role. The rocket gradually weakened until it stopped.

Hu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Dashou and the coachman also climbed out from behind the car.

However, the Jinyiwei rushed out suffered heavy casualties, six died on the spot, almost all of them were injured.

Gu Qingyun was shot in each of his thighs and arms, but fortunately he had no worries about his life.

The people who were ambushing also retreated.

There is no movement anyway.

Because they don’t know where the other party came from, Gu Qingyun and the others were weak and dared not track them. After all, protecting Li Shizhen and "Compendium of Materia Medica" was their task, so it would be nice not to do them at this time.

Gu Qingyun led the injured Jinyiwei back to the carriage, which was already in chaos.

"We cannot continue to rush to the nearest government office."

"Okay!" Hu Cheng nodded and agreed.

"Where did those dog thieves come from? Why didn't Gu Baihu catch one or two of them back for interrogation?"

Zhang Dashou showed off his mightyness at this time.

Gu Qingyun didn't say anything.

Hu Cheng said angrily: "Eunuch Zhang, why don't you arrest me?"

"I?"

"Check it out and find the nearest government office!"

"Come on, hurry up, pack up, pack up." Zhang Dashou raised his back and shouted loudly.

"Sergeant Hu Zuoyuan, I think these dog thieves must have not gone far, I'm afraid we'll see them." Gu Qingyun said worriedly again, "We must leave here as soon as possible to find shelter and can no longer withstand the attack."
