The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 159 Siege and Killing

Jian Yue smiled and said: "As long as there are no accidents, the poison in his body will be cleared in three days."

Doctor Mao and his apprentice stayed in the mansion for three days. When they left, the masked man had the strength to speak again and the color of his nails had returned to normal.

Ji Yunzhong personally escorted her to the door and told Jian Yue: "You have worked hard these three days. Go back and have a good rest. The thank-you gift will be sent to you later."

Jian Yue waved her hand.

She didn't care whether it was polite or not, she was just afraid that the masked man would kill people to silence them.

During these three days, although no one told her the identity of the masked man, she could guess a little from Ji Yunzhong's attitude.

The person who could make Ji Yunzhong, a prince, treat him with respect was either the crown prince or the one sitting on the dragon throne. However, judging by his pulse and skin, the crown prince was most likely the one.

After returning to Yue's house, Jian Yue took a bath and had a comfortable sleep.

She was under great mental stress during these three days. She had to observe the patient's condition at all times at night and could not close her eyes for a moment. She was really exhausted.

Doctor Mao went to talk to Yun Zhonghe.

When Yun Zhonghe heard the name uttered by Doctor Mao, his face changed drastically and he was speechless for a long time.

The fate of people is really amazing. Back then, he was implicated in that incident and had to leave his hometown, suffering from the hardships of wandering outside. Unexpectedly, ten years later, his disciple cured the poison for that person.

Yun Zhonghe was in a complicated and mixed mood.

Jian Yue slept until the next morning and woke up feeling energetic. After eating her not-so-early breakfast, she went into the pharmacy for a walk.

The cheap pills in the pharmacy were still not in demand. The wine shop was doing a booming business, and every time the wine was brewed, it was not enough to sell. The Wen family wine shop was squeezed out and had not been open for a long time.

Jian Yue didn't believe that the Wen family was willing to withdraw from the huge market of Yanling Prefecture. Who knows what big tricks they were planning behind the scenes!

A sneeze!

Jian Yue sneezed unexpectedly.

The breeze outside was chilly. Jian Yue subconsciously looked up at the sky. It was gloomy and looked like it was going to rain.

"This winter is unusual, there may be heavy snow." Yun Zhonghe appeared behind her at some point.

Jian Yue was surprised: "Master, did you predict this from observing the celestial phenomena? There will be a snowstorm?"

Yun Zhonghe nodded.

Jian Yue looked solemn: "Master should remind my father and let him take precautions early. Otherwise, it is the poor people who will suffer."

"That's what I meant. Come with me!"

Yun Zhonghe rode in one carriage, Fu Yun and Jian Yue rode in another, Yuan Jiu and Yuan Shi drove the carriages, and they drove towards the government office.

The carriage came to a narrow section of the road and suddenly stopped. Yuan Jiu, who was walking in front, came over to report: "Girl, there are two carriages that have collided in front. They are arguing and blocking the road."

Fu Yun said, "I'll go down and take a look." She jumped off the carriage and walked to the front of it. The two parties that had hit the carriage were arguing and pushing each other. One of them was beaten so badly that he ran away with his head in his hands, and ran towards Fu Yun.

"Help! Someone's been beaten to death!" the man shouted as he ran.

A group of people were chasing after him.

Fu Yun narrowed his eyes, suddenly drew out his sword, and shouted: "Turn the carriage around, go!"

But their carriage was too close to the road ahead, and they had no time to turn around. Moreover, Jian Yue heard the noise from behind in the carriage, and they were surrounded by people blocking the way from both sides.

"Protect my master." Jian Yue ordered Yuan Jiu and Yuan Shi. She put on her quiver, took her bow and arrows and got out of the carriage.

She and Fuyun had never used their bows and arrows in actual combat since they were made. Today, they finally had a chance to use them.

Fu Yun has already started a fight with a group of people.

"She is Jian Zhaodi. Whoever kills her will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver." A rough voice sounded.

Jian Yue looked in the direction of the voice and saw Niu Biao waving a big knife, masked and shouting, rushing towards her.

dross!

Do you think that no one knows who you are if you cover your face?

Jian Yue could still remember his voice.

Jian Yue quickly pulled out an arrow, bent the bow, and shot at Niu Biao.

Niu Biao was a soldier, and he rolled on the ground to avoid Jian Yue's arrow. But the man behind him was not so lucky, and was hit in the chest, falling to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Jian Yue's arrows were all smeared with poison, so no matter where they hit, the target would immediately lose its combat effectiveness.

Whoosh whoosh!

Without waiting for Niu Biao to get up, Jian Yue shot three arrows in a row, but missed him, but three of Niu Biao's accomplices fell again.

Surrounded by a group of people, Fu Yun raised his hand and sprinkled a circle of powder, then leaped into the air, stepped on people's heads and rushed out of the encirclement. He quickly sent out a distress signal flare.

The flare was made by Jian Yue, and it was much more advanced than the one Fu Yun used before.

Because the flare made by Jian Yue not only releases smoke, but also makes a loud noise.

With a loud "bang", a sharp whistle opened up a field of colorful fireworks.

Yuan Jiu and Yuan Shi were protecting Yun Zhonghe's carriage, fearing that someone might attack him. But Yun Zhonghe in the carriage was calm and not in a hurry at all.

Before leaving, he carefully looked at Jian Yue's face and found that she would not suffer any bloody disaster. Therefore, this siege would be safe.

This was indeed the case. There happened to be a team of yamen runners patrolling the street next door. They were very curious when they saw the fireworks in the sky, so they ran to this street and arrived right after Fu Wu and Fu Liu who came to rescue them.

The yamen runner recognized Jian Yue at a glance.

What a joke! If I don't get to know the mansion lord's daughter secretly, what if I bump into her?

The yamen runners joined the rescue effort.

In fact, half of the assassins at the scene had already fallen, most of them were knocked out by the powder.

Niu Biao never dreamed that this country girl not only knew archery, but also martial arts. Although her martial arts skills were not very good, like a beginner, her body movements were light and flexible. Even if he used all his strength and wielded his sword vigorously, he couldn't touch a corner of her clothes.

Niu Biao was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.

He risked everything today just to die with Jian Yue. If he couldn't kill this little bitch, what was the point of his death?

Niu Biao chased Jian Yue and fought. Unfortunately, once Fu Wu and Fu Liu and the yamen runners joined in, his side was defeated even faster. Seeing that the situation was not good, he wanted to escape. How could Jian Yue let him escape? With one arrow, Niu Biao fell.

Four or five of the people who surrounded and killed them escaped, and the rest were either captured, knocked out, or killed.

A yamen runner quickly went to the government office to report the news.

Yuanjiu and Yuanshi were injured.

The two horses were frightened, and the two men were afraid of hurting Yun Zhonghe in the carriage, so they tried their best to control the horses and were dragged and injured by the horses.

Jian Yue checked their injuries and gave them simple bandages.

After half an hour, Yan Xiuyuan came on horseback with fifty yamen runners. He looked anxious and almost fell down when he got off the horse. Fortunately, Yan Wu was quick to help him up.

"Yue'er, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Jian Yue saw that his concerned expression did not seem fake, so she shook her head and said, "No one is hurt."

Yan Xiuyuan obviously...
