Seeing Xu Sanlang rushing towards the three black-clothed guy s who were holding onto their long blades with no weapons, Cheng Xi was so anxious that her eyes were bloodshot. She forgot to be afraid, and just as she grabbed a bamboo pole at the corner and was about to rush forward to help, she was pulled back by the miserable youth who had brought them so much trouble.
Cheng Xi frowned as she tried her best to shake off the youth's hand. She anxiously and impatiently scolded, "Let go."
The miserable youth's eyes were still looking at Xu Sanlang and the three black-clothed guy's chaotic battle, yet his hands were tightly grabbing onto Cheng Xi. He replied, "With your thin arms and thin legs, not only will you not be able to help him, you will only create trouble for him."
Cheng Xi had also seen the situation where Xu Sanlang was fighting with the three black-clothed guy s, and had easily dodged the longblade black-clothed guy had swung at him. His heart was finally at ease, and as he thought about what the youth who was pulling him had said, it made sense, so he obediently stood by the side of the miserable youth and did not charge forward again.
It was just that when she saw that Xu Sanlang had continuously fought with the three black-clothed guy s and was unable to defeat the three black-clothed guy s in a short while, even if they fought one against three, they would still be evenly matched. After a while, they would be at a disadvantage, so she started to worry again and spoke to the youth beside her, "Hurry up and go report this to the officials."
However, he thought about what would happen if the young man ran away, so he said, "Forget it, take me to the yamen. We'll go report to the officials together."
The miserable youth looked at Cheng Xi, and leisurely replied, "At this time, the yamen is still empty, what officials are you talking about?"
Cheng Xi kicked the youngster beside him in dissatisfaction, and said depressingly, "It's all because of you, you aren't in a hurry at all. Hurry up and think of a way.
"Don't worry. As long as we can hold on for a while, someone will be coming soon."
Cheng Xi asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
The teenager in a sorry state said proudly, "Of course it's my reinforcements that will arrive soon."
While the two of them were talking, they did not notice that a black-clothed guy was unknowingly approaching them.
When the three black-clothed guy s took out their long blades, they were originally determined to win, but suddenly, a tall young man appeared and fought with them barehanded. He was not at a disadvantage at all and wanted to end the battle quickly, but when one of them noticed the little girl and the young man at the side, he had a plan in his heart and planned to unknowingly get close to the little girl and the young man.
When that black-clothed guy's long blade swung towards Cheng Xi and the miserable youth, Xu Sanlang let out a loud shout and took care of himself. That miserable youth retreated rather quickly, but it was a bit too late for Cheng Xi who was standing in front of the miserable youth.
But how could the bamboo pole block the shining long blade? Seeing that the blade was cutting the bamboo pole and was about to land on, Cheng Xi was so shocked that she closed her eyes and sighed in her heart, "This time, it's really over."
Because Cheng Xi used a bamboo pole to block the long blade, it gave Xu Sanlang some time, she was too lazy to pay attention to her own long blade. Taking the chance that the black-clothed guy beside him was paying attention to Cheng Xi's movements, she grabbed the long blade in her hands and swung it towards the arm of the black-clothed guy who was waving the blade towards him. If the black-clothed guy wanted to protect his arm, he had no choice but to withdraw the hand that was wielding the big blade.
In a split-second, black-clothed guy chose to protect his own arm, and swung the long blade aimed at Cheng Xi's face, but in the end, it shifted its position, and that miserable youth also grabbed Cheng Xi who had her eyes closed and retreated just in time. That long blade had just barely brushed past Cheng Xi's arm, causing Xu Sanlang to heave a sigh of relief.
The fact that she did not feel pain, coupled with the pull of a youth, caused Cheng Xi to open her eyes. Realizing that her small life was still there, she heaved a sigh of relief, but seeing that Xu Sanlang's back and arms were bleeding due to injuries, and was currently blocking the attacks of the three black-clothed guy s in front of her in a sorry state, her heart that had just heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the youth was also getting anxious as he muttered, "Why aren't these trash here yet?"
Just as he finished speaking, footsteps and shouts came from an alley not too far away. "Boss, we're here …"
When the black-clothed guy saw the group of people not far away, one of them said angrily, "Withdraw." After that, the three of them quickly ran to the other side of the alley.
When the group of men carrying swords and sticks arrived in front of the youth, the youth wiped away his previous sorry state and shouted arrogantly at them, "A bunch of idiots! Why are you standing here? Hurry up and chase them!"
At this time, a fifteen to sixteen year old pretty girl suddenly appeared and rushed in front of the youth. She had a face full of tears as she touched the youth's body, "Young Master, how are you? Are you injured?"
The youth pushed the woman away in disdain as he glared at her and said, "You're so slow. If you were any slower, your young master would be finished here."
The pretty girl said guiltily, "It's all my fault, young master can punish me."
Cheng Xi, who was at the side, had a face full of worry while supporting Xu Sanlang, who was injured, finally could not resist and spoke coldly, "I say, shouldn't you help me support the injured and go find a doctor?"
The miserable youth finally remembered Cheng Xi, and immediately spoke out, "That's right, our benefactor is injured. All of you, quickly help my benefactor to go to the nearby Wealth Recruitment Workshop, go get a doctor, remember to bring the medicine here."
On the way, the young man seemed to have forgotten that he had just experienced a dangerous battle, and said excitedly: "I am Yu Zhaocai, the boss of the Wealth Recruitment Workshop, what is your surname, my two benefactors?"
Cheng Xi felt that this was strange listening to him, and was too lazy to bother with him. If she had not met him, Xu Sanlang would not have gotten injured, and maybe the two of them would have gone back to the restaurant to sleep.
Due to the injuries on Xu Sanlang's body, he was supported by the subordinates of the young man in a sorry state. He did not say much in the first place, and since he had already gotten used to having Cheng Xi, he did not plan to answer.
The youth rubbed his nose, but did not get angry. He continued to ask, "What is the surname of my two benefactors?"
Cheng Xi snorted in dissatisfaction, and when she heard Cheng Xi's cold snort, she knew that Cheng Xi was angry, and did not intend to bother with Yu Zhaocai, so she could only open her mouth and reply, "Xu Sanlang, my wife, Cheng Xi."
The miserable youth looked at Xu Sanlang with a face of astonishment, then shifted his gaze onto Cheng Xi. The corners of his eyes twitched as he said in a strange tone, "The Brother Xu's taste is really special."
When Cheng Xi heard Yu Zhaocai's tone, she knew that this brat's mind must have thought of them as some sort of messed up relationship. Originally, Cheng Xi was already angry that he had invited some kind of disaster upon them, but after hearing his words, Cheng Xi was even more furious and couldn't help but curse out, "Especially your sister."
Being scolded, Yu Zhaocai scratched his nose awkwardly and replied, "I don't have a sister, but I do have a little brother, and my father stole my life outside."
The corner of Cheng Xi's eyes twitched when she heard this. What kind of person was this?
When they reached the so-called Lucky Workshop, Cheng Xi finally understood that this person was already a mess. This Lucky Workshop was actually a gambling den, and in this era, how many people who opened a gambling den were good people?
No wonder he was so careless after being assassinated. It was probably common for people to meet with such a situation.
Even though it was so late, the gambling house was still bustling with noise and excitement. Most people were paying attention to the table in front of them, so no one noticed the several people who entered the room. This brother was injured? Is young master busy? "
Yu Zhaocai waved his hand, "Hurry up and pack a room for my benefactor to rest."
The manager hastily led the way and went to the back of the gambling den, bringing the few of them to a room. The room was cleaned and pretty well decorated, so Cheng Xi, along with Yu Zhaocai's subordinates, carefully supported Xu Sanlang and laid on the bed.
After that, Cheng Xi waved her hand towards the people in the room, "Don't stay here, go out first, I'll have to trouble this uncle to prepare some hot water."
Yu Zhaocai waved towards his subordinates, "Go out and see why the doctor still hasn't arrived. Yueyue, go and prepare some hot water." He stayed.
Cheng Xi was too lazy to bother with Yu Zhaocai, so she took off her bloody shirt and examined the wounds on Xu Sanlang's back and arms. Only after seeing that they were superficial did she heave a sigh of relief.
The servant girl named Yue Ya'er, moved extremely quickly and quickly ordered the two sweating men to bring in a large pail of hot water. Seeing the corner of Cheng Xi's eyes twitched, not wanting to take a bath, but rather, to bring in such a large pail of hot water, caused her to think of this idea as well.
Cheng Xi asked for more wooden towels and alcohol, and then began to help Xu Sanlang clean his own wounds, and said to Xu Sanlang who was lying on the bed, "Endure it, it's a little painful."
Xu Sanlang nodded lightly. When Cheng Xi used the wine to clean Xu Sanlang's wound, other than his body that had trembled at the beginning, he did not move a muscle afterwards. He was just tossed around by Cheng Xi, he did not even make a sound.
On the other hand, Cheng Xi was sweating profusely, she threw the bloodstained towel in her hand into the basin and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She frowned and asked Yu Zhaocai: "Why is the doctor not here yet?"
Yu Zhaocai, who had been watching from the side, quickly responded, "Soon, they will be here soon. When the doctor is old, he walks slowly, and I've sent people to carry him."
As expected, not long after the doctor was sent in, he was actually carried in. The two big men lifted their feet and a big man behind them helped to carry the medicine box.
As soon as the grey-bearded old doctor was put down, he rubbed his waist and complained, "Oh, my old waist."
When he saw Yu Zhaocai, he opened his eyes widely and said with dissatisfaction, "Aren't you just standing here properly, tormenting me so much in the middle of the night."
Yu Zhaocai pointed to the position on the bed, "It's not that I'm injured, it's my savior. Hey, quickly go and take a look."
