Chapter 1451: Chapter 1451: Reinforcements

The child was hit by two arrows, lost a lot of blood; if we don’t hurry to save her, she probably won’t hold on.

Gu Jinli frowned upon hearing this, wanting to punch Qing Hui a few times, helplessly saying: "Why did you tell me this? If you hadn’t told me, I could have pretended I didn’t know."

But now that I know, what can I do? I can only instruct Erxi: "Go and get Sister Tang here, let Qing Hui have a look at her."

"Yes." You Erxi responded, took a torch, and went ahead to search, bringing Sister Tang back in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Sister Tang was truly miserable; not only was she used as bait by her own mother, she was hit by two arrows, then trampled twice; her exposed wrist was swollen from being trampled, her hand bone should be broken.

"Find an animal skin blanket to spread out, put her on it, I’ll treat her wounds." Gu Jinli rolled up her sleeves, said to Sanqing: "You go back and tell Danian to drive our family’s carriage over, move Huaihua into the carriage for treatment."

Xie Huaihua is a grown girl, the wounds are on her back; to treat them, her clothes have to be taken off, but You Xi and the others are all men, there’s no way they can treat Xie Huaihua here. Otherwise, even if Xie Huaihua’s life is saved, her reputation would be ruined.

"Yes." Sanqing responded, darting out like a wolf, quickly finding Xiao Ji and the others.

On the westward road, it had always been Danian driving the carriage for Gu Jinli, but tonight was dangerous, Danian went to help Daqing fight bandits, so Xiao Ji was driving at this time.

Xiao Ji saw Sanqing and hurriedly asked: "Sanqing, how is the lady?!"

"Sanqing came back?" Nanny Tao heard this and quickly lifted the curtain to ask: "How is the lady? Is she all right?!"

Nanny Tao’s voice changed, the earlier situation was chaotic, and the lady took Erqing and Sanqing to find Lady Xie, saying Lady Xie had been out for too long; if we don’t find her soon, there might be trouble, and Nanny Tao couldn’t hold her back.

"Sister Xiao Ji, Nanny Tao, rest assured, the lady and Lady Xie are fine. Our lady is so capable, she doesn’t need us slaves to protect her; she can slaughter those bandits on her own!" Sanqing spoke with admiration, very impressed by Gu Jinli, and quickly said: "Xie Huaihua is injured, the lady told me to drive over and move Xie Huaihua into the carriage for treatment."

"Huaihua is injured?" Nanny Tao said, quickly letting Sanqing get on, sitting on the front board of the carriage, directing Xiao Ji the way, very soon seeing Gu Jinli.

"Madam!" Nanny Tao saw Gu Jinli, not waiting for the carriage to stop, hurriedly dashed down, examined Gu Jinli, and seeing she was uninjured, finally felt relieved: "Madam... you mustn’t run off like this again."

While Lady Xie’s safety is important, people have their private intentions, and if choosing between the two, Nanny Tao naturally wants Gu Jinli to be safe.

"Nanny, don’t worry, I’m fine. I only dared to rescue Ji Zhenniang because I was confident; we’re all fine, perfectly okay." Gu Jinli spoke, glancing at Xiao Ji, who had rushed over with tear-filled eyes: "You did well tonight, even managed to drive the carriage with Nanny Tao to escape."

Xiao Ji was commended, wiped away her tears, and said: "Madam, me as a slave, I didn’t do enough."

Xiao Ji only realized tonight why Erqing always disliked her, turns out she’s really useless.

After saying that, Xiao Ji immediately went to help Qing Hui move Xie Huaihua.

Ji Zhenniang had fainted, her tongue bitten, and was also moved into the carriage for treatment.

Gu Jinli together with Erqing and Sanqing stripped off Sister Tang’s clothes, pulled out the broken arrow from her body, stopped the bleeding and applied medicine, roughly bandaging the wound before moving her onto the carriage, then turned to You Xi: "There are still bandits on the Daqing side, quickly take the men over to help."

"Yes." You Xi immediately led half the men over to help, leaving the other half to form a large circle, surrounding Gu Jinli and the others to protect them.

"Erxi, take a few people over, dislocate the jaws of the bandits downed by poison, sever their tendons, disable them all."

There are too many bandits, there are not enough ropes, and there’s no time to tie them up now, the fastest way is to sever their tendons, so even if they wake up, they won’t be able to escape.

"Yes." You Erxi immediately took three people to sever the tendons of those men.

When You Erxi and the others returned, Gu Jinli and Qing Hui had already bandaged Xie Huaihua’s and Ji Zhenniang’s wounds, applied medicine.

Gu Jinli stepped out of the carriage, one foot on the horse’s back, then leveraged herself onto the roof, standing on top, looking around the situation.

Behind is pitch black, but the front and both sides are blazing with fire, the sounds of combat constant.

Gu Jinli listened for a while, then spoke to Erqing and You Erxi: "Drive over, advance towards Daqing’s side, kill the bandits encircling them first, gather our forces together, then go support Aunt Niu and them."

Nanny Tao heard this, initially wanting to advise, but considering the situation where the more manpower the better, with manpower scattered, encountering numerous bandits would be more dangerous, she agreed: "Madam, please hurry down, don’t climb too high, there are stray arrows."

"Okay." Gu Jinli responded, flipped down off the roof, sat on the front board of the carriage, pointed ahead: "Go!"

Erqing immediately drove the carriage, while You Erxi led the men to rush towards Daqing’s side.

But You Erxi still left two people, watching those whose hand and foot tendons were severed, once the bandits are repulsed, these are credits, not to be cheaply taken by others.

Not long after Gu Jinli and the others left, from the distant darkness behind a small hill suddenly crawled out a person, this person was Lord Ghost’s subordinate Lu Zi.

Lu Zi crawled like a snake for a while on the ground before standing up, found the horse, and headed to where Lord Ghost was hiding.

Arriving at the spot, Lu Zi informed Lord Ghost of the situation with Gu Jinli.

"What did you say? The Gu Family killed Changwei, and captured Chang Wu alive!" Uncle Dong was shocked, unable to believe what he heard: "Impossible, Changwei’s skills are better than Chang Wu’s, he’s been doing secret work for years, how could he possibly lose to a woman?!"

Boss Bai also couldn’t believe it, looking at Lu Zi and asked: "Is that Gu Family really so formidable?"

Lu Zi didn’t answer them, just respectfully stood in front of Lord Ghost, waiting for Lord Ghost to speak.

Lord Ghost was silent for a moment, then asked: "You said the Gu Family’s knife is really powerful, able to slice through Ding Changwei’s big knife and cut open his throat in one move?"

Lu Zi nodded: "Reporting to Lord Ghost, indeed so. The Gu Family knows martial arts and is very astute; she usually won’t engage directly, but once she acts, it is sure to be a lethal move."

"The knife she uses is also very sharp, different from ordinary knives and swords; after slicing through the big knife, it wasn’t damaged and could continue to injure."

Thinking for a moment, he added: "It seems what Gu Family uses isn’t a knife, but something long, somewhat narrow, not particularly thick, resembling a sword; but swords typically can’t slice through big knives."
