The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 637: Poisoned
In mid-air, seeing this situation, they both took a breath, and then suddenly exhaled, causing their bodies to involuntarily fall downwards.
Although the archers had arrows on their bows, they did not shoot; they were mainly there to intimidate and prevent any escape.
After all, the Duke and his wife, along with the Princely Heir, were also below, and shooting arrows could easily lead to accidental injuries.
Upon seeing the two land, Jiang Zhongxing and Lady Wu moved in to fight again.
He didn’t order the guards to move forward; their sole task was to firmly protect Jiang Youzhi.
Nor did he call the soldiers forward; they just needed to block the exits.
After all, the soldiers were not skilled enough; they’d just get in the way, obstructing his movements.
Seeing that there was no escape today, the Lingnan Sibling Duo’s desperate situation instead ignited a fierce survival instinct.
They both simultaneously adopted a life-risking approach, willing to trade injury for injury, hoping to seize the opportunity to take a hostage, thus having a slight chance to escape. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
In no time, the Lingnan Sibling Duo was covered in multiple wounds from swords and blades.
They both gritted their teeth, holding on firmly.
After fighting for quite some time, Jiang Zhongxing became impatient, also worried about Lady Wu getting hurt. He wanted to end the fight quickly, so he thrust his sword towards his brother’s chest and abdomen. The brother, already injured, moved sluggishly and couldn’t dodge in time, and the long sword pierced into his abdomen.
But just at that moment, the brother, who had been stabbed by the sword, found a sudden surge of strength and swung his sword hard at Jiang Zhongxing.
Jiang Zhongxing’s sword was still embedded in his stomach; he had no weapon in hand to block the attack, so he rapidly retreated to evade.
The sword slashed diagonally past Jiang Zhongxing’s side, cutting into his arm.
The older brother, upon seeing this, cried out in pain, "Second Brother!"
Lady Wu seized the chance, slashing at his neck.
With a forceful pull, blood spurted from the older brother’s neck.
The brothers fell one after the other slowly.
Lady Wu sheathed her blade, frowning as she looked at Jiang Zhongxing, "Are you hurt?"
She hadn’t clearly seen during the fight.
Jiang Zhongxing waved his hand, "It’s nothing, just a superficial wound."
Lady Wu insisted, "Let me see."
Jiang Zhongxing extended his arm, and Lady Wu was startled to find the skin around the wound faintly darkening!
"Poisoned!" she exclaimed.
At this moment, Jiang Youzhi strode over, frowning as he said, "Search their bodies for any antidote."
The two guards quickly finished searching, shaking their heads. Apart from a few bits of silver, they found nothing on them.
"Father, hurry, get on the carriage and head back to the mansion!"
Jiang Zhongxing hadn’t expected the sword to be poisoned. Once on the carriage, Jiang Youzhi immediately took out a bandage and tied it around Jiang Zhongxing’s arm.
Jiao Jiao mentioned that this could at least partially block the blood flow, preventing the toxin from spreading too quickly.
After tying the bandage, Jiang Youzhi suddenly remembered and shouted outside, "Keep them alive, ask them what kind of—" poison it is.
The last word stuck in his throat, as he saw two soldiers extracting their long knives from the bodies of the Lingnan Sibling Duo.
If they hadn’t delivered the finishing blow, there might have been a breath of life left, but now there’s no hope at all.
The carriage turned around and headed towards the Duke Mansion.
Jiang Youzhi tore open his father’s sleeve, pressing to squeeze the black blood from the wound.
Lady Wu held Jiang Zhongxing’s uninjured arm, staring at his face without blinking, on the verge of tears.
Jiang Zhongxing, still in the mood to joke, said, "I’ve never seen you shed a tear for me before; this wound today makes it all worth it."
Lady Wu wanted to hit him but couldn’t bring herself to do it, so she urged the coachman, "Faster!"
