Chapter 297 Liao Zhiyi was injured
"Did you find it?"
In the carriage, Li Wei anxiously asked the guards outside.
The guard shook his head.
"Princess, Liao Zhiyi might have left because of something urgent?" the palace maid beside her advised.
"Impossible!" Li Wei shook her head. "Even though I only spent a short time with him, I know he wouldn't just leave without saying goodbye. Besides, he has no relatives or friends in Shengjing City. Where else could he go?"
Liao Zhiyi had been missing for two days. Li Wei didn't know about it at first, but when Skinny Monkey came looking for her the next day, she realized that Liao Zhiyi hadn't returned all night. So she brought Skinny Monkey down the mountain to look for him.
But the people sent to look for him went to Su Ji and came back to say that the person had never returned since he left.
"Princess, the city has been in turmoil these past few days. Duke Xie's mansion and Prince Heng's mansion are searching the streets for someone. They say Young Master Xie and two young princes are missing. Could this be related to Liao Zhiyi?"
The palace maid guessed.
"That's why I asked you to find it quickly because I was afraid of this."
Liao Zhiyi is a refugee taken in by the Huguo Temple. If she is really related to Young Master Xie and the two young princes, she and the eldest sister will probably be in trouble.
As they were talking, they heard the guards outside the carriage jogging towards them.
"Princess, there's a sound of fighting in the alley ahead. I saw a group of people from Duke Xie's residence rushing over."
"You guys should go and have a look too."
"Yes!"
Still feeling uneasy, Li Wei asked someone to drive a carriage to catch up.
As soon as I entered the alley, I heard a childish voice screaming:
"Brother-in-law, did you see that just now? Did you see it? I chopped one off!"
"Cut! Chop your sister!"
The man slapped Xie An in the face, snatched the bloody machete from his hand and threw it aside.
"You're still laughing! If this brave man hadn't helped you just now, you would have been dead! You've only learned martial arts from a master for a few days, but you don't know how high the heavens are. I hope your mother-in-law won't punish you when you go back!"
Xie An hugged the man and begged:
"Brother-in-law, dear brother-in-law, please don't tell my mother. Otherwise, my legs will be in danger. If you promise me a secret, I won't tell my sister. Your private money is under the soy sauce jar in the back garden... Ugh!"
Xie An had his mouth covered by the man's hand.
All the Xie family members present pretended not to hear and continued doing what they were doing.
This is a grocery store, located in a quiet alley. Normally, it's not busy, but tonight it's brightly lit.
There were many corpses lying all over the shop, and bloodstains extended from the yard into the house. There was a big dark hole on the floor behind the counter, and no one knew where it led to. A cold breeze blew in, carrying a strong smell of blood and rushing straight up.
"Sir, there are eight in the yard and four in the underground dark room. They are all dead."
While reporting, the servant of the Xie family secretly glanced at Liao Zhiyi, who was covered in blood in the yard like a killer.
Each of these corpses had been fatally stabbed, and as if to avoid a complete death, each had a knife cut across the neck. The scene was extremely bloody.
For those who had seen the corpse at the scene, seeing Liao Zhiyi was like seeing a ghost.
"You are a brave man, you saved my little boy and the two young princes. The Xie family will definitely reward you handsomely."
Xie An's brother-in-law bowed and thanked him.
In their opinion, Xie An and the young prince must have offended someone, and they were safe thanks to Liao Zhiyi's rescue.
Liao Zhiyi was speechless.
But thinking that it was better to have more trouble than less, he acquiesced. At this moment, he heard a clear and beautiful shout from outside.
"Liao Zhiyi!"
Everyone turned around and saw the ninth princess Li Wei.
Li Wei heard everything clearly outside and knew that the criminals had kidnapped the young master of the Xie family and the two young princes, and it was Liao Zhiyi who bravely rescued them. She finally felt relieved.
But when he saw Liao Zhiyi covered in blood, he couldn't help but frown.
"I didn't expect that you are so good at Kung Fu?"
Liao Zhiyi was a little anxious and hurriedly explained, "Princess, it's not that I intentionally concealed it. It's really... I, I, I have my own difficulties. I'm sorry."
"Alright, I didn't say I'm going to hold you responsible. As long as you're okay, I'm glad you're okay. You can explain it later."
"Thank you, Princess. Princess, did you come here specifically to see me?"
Looking at the deep night, Liao Zhiyi felt inexplicably touched that the princess, who was of such noble status, had come out to look for him.
"You think too much."
Li Wei was stunned.
Why did she come looking for him specifically? She was just worried that his affairs would involve Jishitang.
"Ah? Oh!"
Liao Zhiyi shook his head. What was he thinking? The person in front of him was a princess. How could she come out to look for a lowly person like him?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel depressed again.
"If your clothes are torn, bring them to the backyard and ask Auntie to mend them for you," Li Wei added.
"Ok!"
Liao Zhiyi looked down and saw that the front of his clothes had been torn at some point. There was a knife wound on his chest, and the flesh was rolled up and bleeding. Next to the wound, an inky black eagle was swooping down majestically, mixed with the color of blood, looking both fierce and seductive.
He hurriedly pulled up his torn clothes to cover himself.
In the house opposite the grocery store, behind the second-floor window, Tan Tai Ting had been silently watching every move opposite.
"What a bunch of losers! You can't even kill a pariah and three kids!"
"Mr. Liao, I'll personally give you a ride!"
Tan Tai Ting picked up the bow and arrow, aimed at Liao Zhiyi who was not far away on the opposite side, and slowly tightened the bowstring.
Liao Zhiyi was still mirthfully happy when he heard a puff of air piercing through the darkness. Almost instinctively, he pressed Li Wei's head against his chest and slid around.
An arrow narrowly missed his ear.
"Princess...hmm!"
He dodged the first arrow, but not the second. Liao Zhiyi felt a heat on his back; he had been hit by an arrow in the back of his heart. He frowned, enduring the severe pain, and rolled on the ground with Li Wei in his arms. He picked up the knife on the ground and threw it towards the direction of the arrow.
A muffled groan came from the building opposite.
The guards of the Xie family also reacted and rushed over to break in.
The knife that Liao Zhiyi swung hit Tan Taiting right in the chest. He vomited blood and glared at the Xie family members who rushed in with dissatisfaction. His hands and feet were twisted and tied up.
"Liao Zhiyi, what are you doing!"
Li Wei was tormented by Liao Zhiyi's chest. She struggled to raise her head from Liao Zhiyi's chest, her face flushed and she said angrily.
But when he looked up, he saw blood oozing from the corner of Liao Zhiyi's mouth, and he smiled miserably.
"Fortunately, you're fine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a thud.
……
Princess House.
Palace maids came out of the room in waves, carrying basins of blood.
Li Wei stood at the door, her face pale.
Just now in the grocery store, everything happened so fast that she didn't even realize what had happened. Her mind was buzzing, and all she could think of was Liao Zhiyi's strong body hugging her and pressing her against his hot and wounded chest.
The hot touch made her brain pause for a moment.
She was about to rebuke him when Liao Zhiyi collapsed in front of her.
There was an arrow stuck in his back.
"Princess, wipe your face."
The maid handed over a hot handkerchief.
Li Wei's face was still stained with the blood from Liao Zhiyi's chest.
"How is he?"
Li Wei didn't bother to wipe her face. Her mind was full of Liao Zhiyi blocking the arrow for her and falling down covered in blood.
The palace maid sighed and reached out to gently wipe the blood off Li Wei's face.
"Princess, the imperial physician is treating her inside. Liao...he saved the princess, so he will be fine."
"I hope so."
Li Wei still has a lot to ask him!
For example, who is he?
For example, why would someone want to kill him!
The door opened and the imperial physician came out.
"Princess, this warrior has an arrow in his back. For anyone else, they could just remove the arrow and heal the wound. But this warrior was born with his heart on the right side."
"The heart is on the right side?" Li Wei subconsciously covered her heart.
"Exactly. He had a sword wound on his left chest, piercing his heart. But because his heart is naturally on the right side, he escaped. But this time, the arrow missed his heart by only half an inch... Princess, I've done my best to treat him. Whether he lives or dies is up to fate."
The imperial physician left with his medical box.
Li Wei felt extremely heavy-hearted.
As a princess, she had been the center of attention since she was young. But all her good luck seemed to have been used up in her youth.
She was abandoned by Tan Tai Ting, deceived into marriage by Pei Yan, left behind during the chaos of the Mid-Autumn Festival night, and after finally getting pregnant, Pei Yan locked her up in Fangfei Garden like a dog.
She had never felt so cherished.
And a man who was almost a stranger.
This feeling is so strange!
She rushed into the courtyard, slapped the dying Tan Tai Ting loudly, and then shouted angrily:
"Tan Tai Ting! What are you crazy about?"
Dan Tai Ting was lying on the ground with a knife stuck in his chest, spitting out blood. When he saw Li Wei rushing out, he squirmed a little and said:
"Princess, save me!"
