Chapter 141 I Have Paid Back What I Owe You
Because of the alcohol, Su Muge began to feel dizzy.
Xia Houmo’s aura was so strong that she couldn’t ignore it.
Before the marriage, she had known she would have to go through such an experience. She was not pedantic after all. Moreover, she didn’t hate Xia Houmo. So she could just take it as a special service!
But at that moment, her heartbeat couldn’t help but accelerate.
“No, no… you, go slow…”
Xia Houmo watched her closed eyes, blushed face, and rosy lips. He thought she would resist, but she only said “go slow”!
He slightly loosed his hands with a pair of dim eyes.
After a while, Su Muge found Xia Houmo had stopped and opened her eyes.
When she met his dark eyes, she immediately closed her eyes in fear!
Suddenly, with a bang, Su Muge was stunned and opened her eyes. At the next moment, she felt the scene flashing by and three cold arrows flying towards her.
Xia Houmo grabbed her by her clothes to ward off the arrows for him.
The speed of the three arrows was extremely fast, and Su Muge could only see a flash.
Xia Houmo had sensed that the arrows were flying towards him before he lifted her from the bed to ward off the arrows for him!
In an instant, Su Muge only felt her whole body frozen.
She didn’t expect that Xia Houmo didn’t care about her life or death at all!
As the arrows flying towards her, the aura grew stronger and stronger.
Su Muge closed her eyes unwillingly. But just as she closed her eyes, she was pulled behind his body by Xia Houmo.
Su Muge looked at him in shock.
According to their current position, no matter how skilled Xia Houmo was, it was impossible to avoid all the three arrows.
Su Muge grabbed Xia Houmo’s robe tightly with her eyes turning red. When the arrows were only one inch away from him, she suddenly pulled him aside and warded off the arrows in front of him.
“Xia Houmo, what I owe you, I have paid it back!”
“Ah!”
Su Muge’s pupils were dilated instantly, which was reflected in Xia Houmo’s stunned and complicated eyes.
Xia Houmo hugged her and watched her collapse in his arms.
“Su Muge!” His trembling roar shocked everyone outside.
“a.s.sa.s.sins! Protect the King of Jin!”
Xia Houmo exerted his internal force out of the window.
The dark shadow outside the window was startled, but it was too late for him to escape.
Attacked by the strong force, he instantly felt a burst of blood in his throat.
“Oh!”
“Hurry up, the a.s.sa.s.sins are over there!” Donglin and others carried their swords and stepped forward to chase the shadow.
“Your Royal Highness, are you okay?” Zuoqiu broke in with the imperial guards.
“Let Guima come and see me immediately! Hurry up!”
The bed curtain had blocked their sight. Hearing the order, Zuoqiu dared not to delay and immediately went to find Guima.
Xia Houmo looked at Su Muge, who was completely fainted in his arms. One of the golden arrows had almost inserted half of its length into her back. The three golden arrows came too fast for him to escape completely since their position was too restrictive.
But he could have escaped two arrows and weakened the third one.
But he had never thought that Su Muge would suddenly ward off the arrows for him!
Xia Houmo hit at the key acupuncture points on Su Muge’s body to prevent excessive bleeding.
There was only one a.s.sa.s.sin, so the guests in the front yard were not disturbed.
Donglin, who went chasing the a.s.sa.s.sin, returned with a sullen face.
“Your Royal Highness, I’m incompetent. I failed to catch the a.s.sa.s.sin.”
Xia Houmo stood in the room with his hands on his back. The air in the room was even colder than outside.
“Jinling Arrow, Fengtian!”
Donglin was stunned. “Fengtian, one of the top three killers of the Chu who can shoot three arrows at a time without a failure!?”
“No matter who he is, I’ll take his head back by myself!”
“I can’t even enjoy your wedding feast? Is the King of Jin impotent? How could he ask me to come over at this time?!”
Just as Guima was taken to the door by Zuoqiu, he was pulled into the room instantly.
“Xia Houmo, be gentle! I specially bought this robe for your wedding!” Guima was pulled so hard that he almost spit out the wine he drank!
“Let her wake up unscathed!”
Xia Houmo looked at Guima with red eyes. Guima was greatly scared, put on a serious look, and looked down. Su Muge was lying on the bed, with a dazzling golden arrow in her back near her heart!
“If you want me to save her, release me!”
Xia Houmo let him go.
Guima straightened up his collar and stepped forward to check Su Muge’s chest.
“Hurry up, go to get my medical kit.”
Zuoqiu turned around and went out.
“If this arrow were a little bit deflected, you would have to bury her now!”
The golden arrow was only an inch away from Su Muge’s heart. Fortunately, Su Muge had tilted her body when warding off the arrow; otherwise; she would be dead now.
When Xia Houmo thought about the moment when the golden arrow pierced into Su Muge’s body, he felt his heart trembling slightly.
“I want her to live unscathed!”
Guima gave him an angry look. “Put up or shut up!”
“Doctor Gui, here is your medical kit.”
Zuoqiu brought the medical kit into the room in time.
“I don’t know if this arrow is poisonous, so I have to pull it out immediately.” Guima checked Su Muge’s breath and pulse, which were very weak. He didn’t know if she could bear it when he pulled out the arrow.
“Bring me my scissors.”
Just as Zuoqiu was about to hand him the scissors, it was taken over by Xia Houmo. He put the scissors on the fire for disinfection.
“What can I do?”
“Cut off all the clothes around the arrow. I’ll pull out the arrow in a moment.”
Xia Houmo glanced back, and Zuoqiu and others knowingly retreated.
The golden arrow had inserted too deep into her body. According to the thickness of Su Muge’s body, it had almost impaled her body. Moreover, there were barbs on the arrow. If it was pulled out directly, the damage to Su Muge would be great.
“I have to use a scalpel.”
“There are ten barbs on Jinling Arrow!” Xia Houmo’s words were almost squeezed out from his throat!
“Ten! The killer was so cruel!”
Guima had been interacting with Xia Houmo for so many years, so he was quite experienced with injuries of arrows and swords.
Although it was very tricky, it was not hard for him.
“Clink”
The arrow was finally taken out, and it had been dark outside.
Just as Guima was about to dress Su Muge’s wound, Xia Houmo had already taken the medicine and pushed him aside.
“Go to prescribe.”
Guima pouted; he would love to give way to him!
Guima took the broken Jinling Arrow out of the room.
Xia Houmo and the unconscious Su Muge were left alone in the room.
He gently spilled the medicine on her wound and carefully bandaged her wound.
After that, he helped her change a clean coat.
When Su Muge appeared naked in front of him, he revealed no emotion in his eyes.
With his rough fingertips rubbing her pale face gently, his eyes were filled with treasuring and pampering that he had never noticed.
“Su Muge, what you owe me, you have to pay it back with the rest of your life!”
…
Su Muge only felt that the pain in her body made it difficult for her to breathe.
She panted heavily and looked around with her eyes wide open.
Her view gradually became clearer, and everything was so familiar to her.
“Dr. Su, what time is it? Why haven’t you gone home yet? You’ve been working so hard all day that it’s difficult for you to get married!” Her a.s.sistant little Bo, in a white lab robe, laughed and teased her.
She was the youngest doctor in the inst.i.tute and had the most research results. Apart from going home for sleep, she had spent almost all her time in the inst.i.tute and the clinic.
“I’ll go back later.” Su Muge answered unconsciously as usual.
“Our hardworking doctor, I’ll go back first. Don’t eat fast food anymore. Take good care of yourself.”
“Okay.”
Su Muge stood in the empty inst.i.tute, always feeling that everything in front of her was visional.
“I knew you were here and you would have some fast food for dinner.”
Hearing the hearty voice behind, Su Muge looked back and saw the handsome Ye Lan walk in with a lunch box.
Ye Lan put the lunch box on the table. “I have stewed corn and rib soup and your favorite fried pork belly for you. How about it? Am I considerate to you? Why don’t you cherish such a handsome gentleman like me?!”
Su Muge opened the lunch box, and a scent of ribs came out.
In the past two years in the inst.i.tute, almost all the food she had eaten was made by Ye Lan.
Ye Lan was her college cla.s.smate, but he joined the army when he was in college. And they had less contact. However, after he found out that she was working in the inst.i.tute, he would come to see her as long as he was free.
Su Muge put a rib into her mouth. “I haven’t tasted it for so long.”
“Didn’t I bring it to you last week? If you want to eat it every day, I’ll think of a way to deliver it to you every day.”
Su Muge wanted to reach out to pinch herself to see if this was a dream or reality. But she was suddenly a little afraid that this was a dream or that her time travel was a dream.
Just as Su Muge was puzzled, the scene in front of her suddenly changed. In front of her were a jungle and a towering cliff.
“They are over there. Don’t run!”
“Susu, come this way!”
Su Muge was suddenly caught by her wrist. Seeing Ye Lan with blood on his face, Su Muge suddenly came to her sense.
Now … they were being hunted down by drug traffickers!
To save her, Ye Lan fell down the cliff with her!
“No, Ye Lan, don’t care about me! Their goal is me! Run!”
Ye Lan grasped her hand tightly.
“No, Susu, I’ll never leave you alone.”
“Neither of you can run! Shoot!”
With a bang, Su Muge and Ye Lan jumped off the cliff…
