Children of Loulan

Chapter 444 Pulling out the arrow?

At this time, dozens of people escorted the prince and the seriously injured Bai Xi out of the encirclement like a gust of wind. Seeing the critical situation, Bayer wanted to stay with Mo Ming to cover the retreat, but Mo Ming mercilessly scolded her to quickly follow the prince and retreat together.

Bayer looked at Mo Ming deeply, only to see that Mo Ming had a determined look on his face, with no intention of backing down. She could only shout helplessly, "Husband, be careful!" Then, she had to rush out of the encirclement with the prince!

On the other side, the leader of the Seven Stars Pavilion was extremely anxious when he saw this. He made a quick decision and rushed out to stop the prince. However, Mo Ming entangled him like a ghost, making it impossible for him to escape.

The leader of the Seven Stars Pavilion was furious and shouted at the top of his voice: "Go and stop the prince, we must not let him get away, kill him immediately!" Before he finished speaking, several figures responded and flew up like arrows, rushing straight in the direction where the prince fled!

Although Bai Xi was being carried by several people, his ears were not idle. The footsteps of the assassins behind him made him anxious. He endured the severe pain in his body and said with difficulty: "Quick, put... me down, you... cover His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's retreat!"

However, Keremu refused without hesitation: "Impossible, if you want to go, let's go together. I will never abandon you!" His voice was firm and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

Although Bai Xi was deeply moved, he knew that now was not the time to be moved. He endured the severe pain in his body and said word by word with difficulty: "Your Highness, I...I will be a burden...to you!"

However, before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of fierce fighting behind him. Bai Xi's heart sank, he knew that the pursuers were catching up. At this moment, he was extremely anxious, annoyed that because of his injuries, he was not only unable to protect His Highness, but also became a burden to them.

Bai Xi spurted out another mouthful of blood in a hurry. Baier was heartbroken when she saw her brother-in-law's serious injury. Tears flowed out like a flood. But she did not stop, but followed Bai Xi closely and ran desperately.

However, the assassins were extremely fast and killed all the guards behind them in a blink of an eye. Seeing the assassins rushing towards them like hungry tigers, Bayer raised his sword without hesitation, ready to fight to the death.

At this critical moment, suddenly, a sharp arrow came through the air like lightning and shot straight at the killer in front. The killer reacted quickly and dodged the arrow by moving sideways nimbly.

Bayer looked in the direction where the arrow came from, and saw General An leading the soldiers of the Xijiao Camp galloping towards him not far away, obviously coming to rescue him.

General An suddenly put down the longbow in his hand, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Everyone listen up, capture all these assassins for me!" His voice was like thunder, deafening.

Following his roar, the countless soldiers who were already ready to go seemed to have their fighting spirit ignited. They roared in unison, and then like a group of ferocious beasts, they all grasped their weapons and pounced on the killers.

Seeing this, General An dismounted without hesitation, and then walked hurriedly to Keremu with big strides. He knelt on one knee, respectfully saluted with a standard military salute, and said loudly: "I am late in coming to your rescue, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

However, before Keremu could respond, Baier rushed forward like an arrow. She asked anxiously, "General An, did you bring a military doctor? His Highness and Lord Baixi are both injured!"

Upon hearing this, Ankar quickly replied, "I brought it!" Then, he turned to the crowd behind him and shouted, "Military doctor, come quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, several middle-aged men carrying medicine boxes ran out from the crowd as fast as the wind.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Keremu shouted loudly without hesitation: "My injury is not serious, don't worry, the most urgent thing is to check on Baixi's condition first, his injury is extremely serious!"

Despite the Crown Prince's statement, the military doctors were not stupid and knew what was more serious. So, two of them quickly moved to Keremu's side to check his pulse, while the rest rushed to Baixi without stopping to carefully check his injuries.

Seeing that there was no danger here, Ankar thought for a while and decided to leave behind a thousand elite soldiers to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others. After making all the arrangements, he immediately jumped on his horse and galloped towards the palace like an arrow.

The reason was simple, because he heard that the Seven Stars Pavilion had come out in full force this time, targeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In this case, there might still be remnants of the Seven Stars Pavilion still resisting in the palace. In order to ensure that nothing could go wrong, he had to rush there and catch all the assassins in one fell swoop!

At this moment, Bai Xi had been carefully placed on the ground, his body slightly leaning against a soldier, looking extremely weak. The military doctors quickly gathered around him, took his pulse in turn, and then carefully examined the arrow in his chest.

Bayer, who was standing nearby, was extremely anxious. She stared at the military doctors intently. Seeing that they seemed to be communicating with each other through their eyes, she could no longer suppress her anxiety and blurted out, "What's the situation? When can this arrow be removed?"

Keremu was also seriously injured, with two knife wounds on his body, almost deep enough to see the bone, and blood gushing out of the wounds. Fortunately, these wounds did not injure vital parts, but due to excessive blood loss, his face looked a little pale.

The military doctors were busy stitching up Keremu's wound. He endured the severe pain from the stitching, but his eyes were always fixed on Baixi. He saw that several military doctors remained silent about Bayer's question, and he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

So Keremu called the military doctors to his side and asked in a low but dignified voice: "What is the situation? Tell me the truth!"

One of the military doctors looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment, but finally answered respectfully: "Your Highness, Lord Baixi's injury is very grim. The arrow must not be removed easily!"

Hearing this, Keremu frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Why can't it be pulled out? His heart is not injured!"

The military doctor quickly explained: "Your Highness, although Lord Baixi's heart was not damaged, the arrow hit his lungs and went straight through them. If the arrow is pulled out rashly, Lord Baixi will surely die from excessive blood loss."

Keremu frowned tightly, with obvious anxiety on his face. He asked with a slightly trembling voice: "What should we do? We can't just leave the arrow unpulled!"

However, facing Keremu's question, the military doctors all lowered their heads at the same time, as if they were having a hard time speaking. After a while, one of the military doctors finally mustered up the courage and said truthfully: "Your Highness, Lord Baixi has vomited blood twice, which means that his lungs have been severely damaged. Whether the arrow is pulled out or not, I'm afraid..."
