When the gunfire stopped, the air was filled with the smell of burning gunpowder.

When Shen Yuexi fell down, she covered her lower abdomen with her hands in time.Even though her elbow hurt so much, she couldn't care less, grabbed Xiao Zhuo's chest with her backhand, and asked eagerly: "Husband, are you hurt, are you hurt?"

Everyone was suddenly attacked, and the first thing she reacted to was not herself, but Xiao Zhuo who was blocking her.

Xiao Zhuo patted the back of her hand and said: "It's okay." Then he stood up, drew out his long sword and jumped into the nearby bushes.

Hiding behind the dense bushes next to the road, more than a dozen gunmen were busy charging their muskets.Seeing Xiao Zhuo rushing over, they panicked.Some people were slow to react, and while backing away, they took the cleaning rod and stabbed the gunpowder cartridge into the smoking gun barrel. Xiao Zhuo rushed to the front and slashed down with his sword, and that person was immediately punished.

Seeing the companion's end, the people nearby also knew that the muskets were useless because they had no time to reload the ammunition, so they threw away the muskets one after another, pulled out the swords at their waists and rushed towards Xiao Zhuo shouting.

Xiao Zhuo held his long sword and was about to confront the enemy, Xiao Beiheng also passed through the bushes, kicked up a kick, and kicked the enemy rushing from Xiao Zhuo's left into a somersault, the Yan Que sword pierced down into the man's chest, saying: " Brother, are you not injured?"

"It's nothing," Xiao Zhuo said with a cold light in his eyes, his long sword swept across, cutting down the enemies rushing from the right, and said to Xiao Beiheng, "Leave one."

The two of them ran into the flock of sheep like tigers behind the bushes, blood spattered everywhere the sword light passed, and screamed again and again.Shen Yuexi could hear clearly on the road, and knew that these enemies could be easily dealt with by the martial arts of the two, so she quickly got up, ran to Su Mo, and knelt down on her knees to help Su Mo up.

"Sister and sister, are you alright?" She yelled, checking Su Mo's chest back and forth for marks of bullets.

Su Mo opened her eyes, her face turned pale, her body trembled slightly, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, my leg... hurts so much."

Shen Yuexi was startled, looked at Su Mo's legs, and saw a bullet hit Su Mo's left thigh, and the blood was quickly staining her pants red.

"Sister-in-law, you were shot in the leg. But don't be afraid, my sister-in-law is here, I'll help you stop the bleeding first."

She has experienced a lot, and she will not panic anymore. First, observe the bleeding speed of Su Mo's wound, then pull out the dagger from Su Mo's waist, cut a long strip of cloth on her clothes, and tie it tightly around Su Mo. the base of the thigh.Doing so can delay bleeding.

"Anywhere else hurts?" she asked.

"My back hurts too," Su Mo forced a smile, "It's like someone punched me hard."

Shen Yuexi stretched out her hand to touch Su Mo's back, and sure enough, she felt a hot iron lump on the back of her chest, she pulled it off and put it in front of Su Mo's eyes, saying, "Look here, it didn't hit it."

"Sister-in-law's bulletproof vest...it's so powerful, it can really block musket bullets," Su Mo held Shen Yuexi's blood-stained hand, "It's a pity that there are no bulletproof pants."

Shen Yuexi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she threw away the bullet, and said: "My brother and sister, you have been shot, and you still have the mind to joke."

After she interrogated Jiao Yong and encountered a musket, she made a pistol for self-defense, but felt that it was not safe, so she asked Da Xiong to make four more body armor, which really came in handy here.Ancient muskets are not very penetrating, but if there is no body armor, Su Mo must be dead.

But when she thought about the incident, Pei Jingyun's men knew that Xiao Beiheng and Su Mo were here, but they still shot.Does the other party no longer have scruples?In this way, it would be very difficult for them to rely on Xiao Beiheng and Su Mo's cover to meet Pei Jingyun.

She was thinking, the battle behind the bushes had ended, Xiao Zhuo pushed away the bushes first, while Xiao Beiheng pulled a gunman by the back of his neck, put the sword on his neck and pushed out.

"Fortunately wearing the bulletproof vest given by my sister-in-law..."

Xiao Beiheng was only halfway through his speech when his eyes fell on Su Mo's blood-stained leg, and he couldn't help exclaiming, dragging the man to the front, and said, "Did Momo get shot?"

Su Mo gave him a white look, as if she blamed him for leaving too quickly, and said: "I can't die, my sister-in-law has already bandaged me."

Xiao Beiheng's face twitched, he turned around and exerted force on his wrist, which pressed the man to his knees, and raised the Yanque sword to chop down.Xiao Zhuo grasped his wrist and said: "Brother, keep him and I have something to ask."

Xiao Beiheng was so angry that he pushed the shooter to the ground, and said, "Whatever big brother asks you, you answer."

The gunman raised his head and smiled and said, "You don't need to ask, I'll tell you now. The master asked us to come. She said that she has given the young master and young lady many chances, but you still choose to betray her, so kill them together."

Xiao Beiheng said angrily, "What did you say?"

The gunman didn't answer but just sneered, his eyes turned white after a while, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground without breath.

Xiao Zhuo stepped forward and opened the gunman's mouth, looked at it, and said, "There is poison in his mouth."

Xiao Beiheng stood at the same spot in a daze, and said, "Mother... unexpectedly even wants to kill me and Momo."

Shen Yuexi said: "Brother, don't be in a daze. My brother and sister have been shot, and this is only to stop the bleeding temporarily. You must seek medical treatment immediately."

Xiao Beiheng handed the Yan Que Sword to Xiao Zhuo, picked up Su Mo and looked around, saying, "But where is the doctor?"

Xiao Zhuo said: "There are so many people living on this island, some people will definitely get sick. Naturally, a doctor is also needed, and it should be in the city."

Shen Yuexi looked at the city not far away, the gate was open, and inside was a bluestone-paved avenue, which stretched forward, with various shops on both sides of the road, and the lantern signboards looked good.But just can't see any pedestrians.Compared with the houses halfway up the mountain, the whole city seems to be deserted, which is a bit weird.

There was a trace of anxiety in her heart, and she held Xiao Zhuo's arm and asked, "Husband, why is there no one in this city?"

Xiao Zhuo said: "Siblings are injured, let's go into the city to see, the Queen of Xiliang and sister should be in the city too."

Su Mo said: "Sister-in-law, my father must also be in the city, let's go in quickly."

Seeing that everyone insisted on entering the city, Shen Yuexi followed Xiao Zhuo and walked forward.When they walked to the city gate, Liuli's cry suddenly sounded on the city wall, "Yuexi, good luck."

Shen Yuexi looked up, and then saw the parrot Liuli standing on the top of the wall and screaming.She was ambushed by muskets just now, and she didn't care about Liuli, and she didn't know where the bird flew, so it turned out to be hiding here.

She raised her hand and called: "Liuli, come down."

Liu Li yelled loudly, spread her wings and flew into the sky as if frightened, and two feathers floated down.Then a row of heads and a row of muskets popped up on the city wall, and hundreds of muskets were aimed at them.

A muscular old man stretched out half of his body from the top of the wall and said, "Don't move, or I'll let the soldiers shoot."

Shen Yuexi was stupid now.The opponent was standing on the city wall, Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Beiheng couldn't rush to kill them no matter how powerful they were.These hundreds of muskets fired at the same time, even if the body armor could block the bullets, one hit to the head would be the end.

Xiao Zhuo also seemed to know that the situation was not good, so he handed the two swords to his left hand, raised his head and said to the old man: "I am Xiao Zhuo, may I ask the old man's name?"

The old man chuckled and said, "I know you, and I know Shen Yuexi. You don't know me, but you have fought me several times."

Shen Yuexi said: "How many times have you fought against each other?" She thought quickly in her mind, and when she saw the strong muscles of the old man's arms, she suddenly understood, and shouted: "You are a descendant of Master Xu who made the black light armor."

The old man's face was bright, and he said: "Exactly, old man Xu Yan."

Xiao Beiheng interjected: "Xu Yan, you are also ordered by your mother to intercept us?"

Xu Yan smiled and said: "That's natural. You guys can pass through many barriers and come to the gate of Guiyun City, that's enough. But the old man obeyed the master's order to kill you here, so don't think about any tricks." .”

Seeing the blood oozing from Su Mo's leg, Xiao Beiheng felt anxious and angry, and shouted, "Since you want to kill him, what are you talking about here?"

Xu Yan said: "Young master, you have repeatedly disobeyed the master's orders. The master has already said that he regards you as an enemy. The reason why the old man didn't let his subordinates shoot is not because of you."

Shen Yuexi said: "Mr. Xu, since you don't shoot, can you let us enter the city? My brother and sister were shot in the leg, and the blood is bleeding, we need to find a doctor for treatment."

"Doctor? The doctor is in the medical clinic in the city," Xu Yan said, "But the master said that you are not allowed to enter the city."

Shen Yuexi said: "This is strange. You don't intend to shoot, and you don't allow us to enter the city?"

"Old man, tell the truth. I am very interested in the Liannu you made," Xu Yan raised the Liannu in his hand, "Did you really make this Liannu?"

As a master blacksmith, he loves all kinds of ironware the most in his life. After getting the crossbow made by Shen Yuexi, he likes it no matter what he thinks. Unfortunately, he has an agreement with Pei Jingyun that he cannot leave the island for the rest of his life.

Now that he finally saw Shen Yuexi in person, he was so happy that he had long forgotten Pei Jingyun's order. Although he verbally said that he wanted to kill these people, he couldn't bear it at all. He wanted to share his forging experience with Shen Yuexi first, and ask Doubts in my heart.

Shen Yuexi pondered: "It can be seen that this old man is very obsessed with forging. If he said it wasn't made by me, he would have shot it in disappointment. But if he said it was made by me, he would be lying just by looking at my body. Be careful."

She hastily thought of a reasoning, and said to Xu Yan: "Master Xu, the little girl is a girl, how can she have the strength to forge it. Naturally, there are skilled craftsmen in the forging, and they are all... the elders of the little girl. The structure of this crossbow is made by the little girl... It was designed by the ancestors."

Xu Yan nodded: "That's true. Since ancient times, no woman has been a blacksmith. But you said that this Liannu was designed by your ancestors, which is a big mistake."

After speaking, he took out a book from his pocket and shook it: "As an old man, haven't you read this book?"

Shen Yuexi took a closer look at the title of the book "Tiangong Tale", and couldn't help sighing in her heart.It is not good to lie hastily, it is easy to slip up.If you miss something, you have to continue to tell even bigger lies to make up for it, and the more you tell, the more outrageous it becomes.

"Master Xu, you may not know that this book was originally written by our ancestors."

Xu Yan opened his eyes wide and said, "The author of this book is obviously named Feng, so what does it have to do with your Shen family?"

"It's a long story," Shen Yuexi blushed, bit the bullet and continued, "My grandfather's grandfather and this Mr. Feng are good friends..."

"Your grandfather's grandfather?" Xu Yan frowned and raised his fingers, "Your grandfather is Shen Guogong, and his grandfather was at most a hundred years old. But this book was written 150 years ago, when your grandfather's grandfather was still alive." Not born yet."

Shen Yuexi thought that the habit of lying is really bad, and she can never lie again in the future.Hurt self and others.

Su Mo's leg was bleeding profusely, and she valued Su Mo's life more than hiding the secret of the universal manufacturing machine, so it's better to tell Xu Yan frankly that this is the power of high technology.

Who knows that before she opened her mouth, Xu Yan sneered and said, "I can tell, you girl is full of lies. Presumably this Liannu has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to keep you."

He raised his hand and said, "Aim."

Hearing the order, the muskets on the wall immediately aimed at the four people below the city.
