When the attack happened, Qian Ning was still thinking about some things in his mind. Several subordinates behind him kept a distance of four or five steps from him.
They walked out of the city to the Weiwei University Hall, which was only five or six miles away. On this road, there were originally some lonely roads, but because of the existence of the Weiwei University Hall, they gradually became more prosperous. It can be said that they were in
This place that was least likely to be attacked was attacked. If Qian Ning hadn't thought about the place where his heart was happy and looked around, maybe when this round of arrow rain came, he would have followed several subordinates behind him.
Likewise, he was lying motionless on the ground covered with arrows.
This is a loess road that is neither long nor short. On both sides of the dirt road, many simple houses have been built, just like a small market. At this moment, the market is in chaos, and everyone is confused because of
This sudden change caused people to shout loudly and run here and there. The market, which had been extremely lively just a moment ago, became empty almost in the blink of an eye. There was no one left, leaving only fruits and vegetables all over the floor.
And a mess of discarded baskets and so on.
Qian Ning was leaning closely behind a thick meat table. On his shoulder, an iron arrow as long as a chopstick almost penetrated his shoulder blade.
This is an iron arrow shot by a powerful crossbow machine! Qian Ning saw through the origin of this iron arrow almost at a glance. When the machine's spring sounded, he subconsciously dodged behind the fat butcher next to him. At the moment, this
The butcher was already lying next to him with a pair of dead fish eyes.
He quietly poked his head out and looked towards the opposite room. With a "click" sound, a crossbow arrow flew over almost close to his nose and pierced deeply into his ear, which he used as a cover.
superior.
No shouting was made, and no one came out. It seemed that the other party had no intention of communicating with him, just as if they wanted to take his life.
He put his hand into his arms, and a handgun appeared in his hand. This handgun was only a foot long, much lighter than the arm-length handguns of Shenjiying. This was Qian Wubing's handgun from Fujian.
The gift brought to him, the Xiuchun knife originally worn by his side, was lying quietly in the middle of the dirt road. He did not want to risk being shot into a hedgehog to pick up his knife.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't know why you want my life. However, if you are hiding in the house, you can't kill me. If you are a hero, come here and take my life!"
Qian Ning shouted loudly. Although the fire gun in his hand was very powerful, it could only be fired once. It was not an ordinary trouble to fire it again and reload it. He was not a reckless person, but he thought he might not be able to survive today.
This was a hurdle. If he didn't have someone to support him before he died, he would really be reluctant to do so.
There was still no sound from the house across the road.
After a while, Qian Ning stuck his head out again. This time, there was no crossbow arrow flying close to his nose. However, he did not dare to take it lightly. In just a short while, the opponent had enough time to reload the crossbow machine.
He struggled to pull the dead butcher's hand out of his body from the ground. Then, he raised the butcher's hand and stretched out the covered meat case and shook it, but there was still no movement.
Qian Ning shrank back, gasping for air, and stopped making any move.
The other party was very cautious and patient. They were waiting for him to show up. He must not be fooled by them! Qian Ning glanced at it and saw a boning knife not far away. He hooked the knife over with his foot and put it on his
In his hand, he then used his uninjured right hand to tightly grasp the gun in his hand. He planned to keep fighting with the opponent until the other party couldn't help but come out to check.
Time passed slowly. Qian Ning felt that the left side of his body was a little numb. He didn't know whether it was due to excessive blood loss or because the crossbow arrows were poisonous. His eyelids began to feel heavy.
There was a noise in the distance. A group of official officers holding iron rulers and waist knives came over from the other side of the road. He seemed to hear the official officers shouting to embolden themselves: "Where are the thieves who attacked the official officers? Where are they? Hurry up."
Hurry up and be captured, the emperor's feet are not a place where thieves like you are rampant!"
In a daze, he saw a group of official officers coming in front of him, and in the room opposite, some official officers seemed to be breaking in. The people around him were talking about something, but he couldn't hear clearly.
, with all his strength, he took out the waist card in his hand, then tilted his head, unable to hold on any longer, he fainted and fell asleep!
It was as if he had had a long dream. In the dream, there were people talking, moving around, and even shouting something loudly. He could feel all these happening around him, but he just couldn't open his eyes.
…
"Okay, Qian Qianhu is fine!" A thin old man washed his blood-stained hands in the basin brought over, then took the handed towel and dried his hands:
"It's not a powerful poison. Using such crossbow arrows to kill people and smearing poison on the arrows is something that only people who are unsure of their archery skills would do. It's just some intoxicating drugs that disturb people's minds!
"
Qian Wubing nodded. The old man was Doctor Qi from Fusi in Beizhen. This month, it was the second time he came to Qian Mansion. The first time was because of Mu Siniang's injury.
"However, Qian Qianhu's left arm may not be very strong in the future. The arrow went directly through the shoulder blade. At least 50% of the effort in Qian Qianhu's left arm was wasted!" Qi Langzhong shook his head: "Qian Qianhu
Sir, I have tried my best!"
Qian Wubing's face was livid, he forced a smile, and ordered Doctor Qi to be sent out.
"Tell me when he wakes up!" Looking around at the people in the room, he pointed slightly outside: "Let's go out and talk!"
In the flower hall, Mu Tianqiu, Mu Siniang, and the Yan family brothers all had calm faces, looking at Qian Wubing surrounded by them.
Mu Tianqiu was the first to speak: "The people who attacked Qian Ning left no trace except for the crossbow arrows. The owner of the house where they were ambushing them was found to be dead when the officer entered.
And two hours ago, neighbors saw this family hawking outside!"
"So, this is not like a premeditated attack, but more like a sudden one!"
Qian Wubing turned to look at the Yan family brothers, and Yan Qi immediately said: "The origin of the crossbow arrows will not be found out for a while, but there are not many powerful crossbow machines equipped with this kind of crossbow arrows in the Beijing camp. This kind of crossbow
Machines are rare even in the military, and even less common among civilians!"
"Keep checking!"
Qian Wubing said coldly, and looked at Mu Siniang, who seemed to be in a state of wandering mind, not knowing what to think. Feeling her gaze, Mu Siniang raised her head and said in a daze: "Why don't they
Kill him!"
Qian Wubing was slightly moved in his heart. Yes, given the situation at that time, the attackers could kill Qian Ning at most with one more casualty. Why did they want to leave him alive?
"Also, this crossbow arrow is extremely powerful and is very useful for killing people. These people go out of their way to put some poison on the arrow. This is also very suspicious!" Mu Tianqiu added on the side, Mu Si
After my mother said this, she lowered her head again, not knowing what to think.
Qian Wubing thought deeply, "Unless...unless..."
"Unless they want to capture Qian Ning alive!" Yan Jiu suddenly said.
"Capture Qian Ning alive!" Qian Wubing nodded. Jiang Bin said that only the dead can keep secrets. As long as the living person is alive, there are really not many secrets that can be kept under torture. The other party wants to capture Qian Ning alive.
, must also want to know the secret in Qian Ning's heart. Maybe the arrow on Qian Ning's shoulder was not caused by the other party losing his aim, but because the other party did it intentionally.
"We won't know the specific situation until Qian Ning wakes up!" Qian Wubing shook his head: "I always feel that this matter is somewhat related to what Siniang did. If this is Zhang Yong's
The counterattack, this counterattack, is too slow!"
"Sir, are you going to start a full-scale war with Xichang?" Yan Jiu asked. In his heart, the assassination of Qianhu, the Jinyiwei of Nanya, was a naked slap in the face of people like himself. At this time, he must not show weakness.
.
"It may not be related to Xichang!" Qian Wubing slowly shook his head: "The people Siniang killed last time were the people of the Three Thousand Battalion who took care of the funeral, and the people of Xichang didn't even have their heads.
Risk it!"
Mu Tianqiu also shook his head: "I don't agree with a full-scale war with Xichang. The only one you control now is Nanya, and you don't completely control Jinyiwei. Even if you still have some power outside Beijing, the power outside Beijing is still there.
In this kind of fight, it’s useless at all!”
He shook his head: "We have no chance of winning in a private fight. If it is a public fight, the final result of this factory guard battle will be the result of His Majesty's decision. It will not do us any good!"
The room fell silent. The Yan brothers looked at Mu Tianqiu, and Mu Tianqiu looked at Qian Wubing, both waiting for Qian Wubing to make a decision.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Qian Wubing's serious face: "I think someone is anxious about this matter. Qian Ning must have grasped what made the other party so anxious and even played such a stupid chess game. Everyone
Everyone is staring at Zhang Yong and Xichang. Maybe this matter really has nothing to do with Xichang!"
He looked at his close subordinates and said with a smile: "If Zhang Yong wants to take revenge, even if he doesn't take action against me, any one of you may become a target, but the other party chose Qian Ning."
, and they don’t plan to take Qian Ning’s life yet, do you think this is normal?”
"Sir, we have to do something!" Yan Qi was steady. Seeing that Qian Wubing was worried, he couldn't help but ask.
"No, we won't do anything!" Qian Wubing laughed, "When the knife is not cutting, it is much scarier than when it is cutting!"
