Chapter 1368 Jin Wuzhu pulls out the arrow and eats his eye!
"My eyes! My eyes!"
Jin Wuzhu covered his eyes, blood flowing continuously from between his fingers; he was clearly in a terrible state.
Behind him, He Mu was also clutching his buttocks. Injuring one's buttocks while a warhorse is running is extremely painful; every jolt causes a sharp pain.
"Your Highness, rest assured, we, we've held them off, we're safe now."
He Mu turned his head to look behind him, and saw that Yue Fei's figure was swallowed up by the guards, which reassured him a lot.
Very good, Yue Fei didn't catch up.
"Hemu, how are you?"
Although Jin Wuzhu's eyes were in excruciating pain just now, he managed to withstand the intense pain and recover through sheer willpower!
"Your Highness, rest assured, I am fine. It's just that I was hit in the buttock by an arrow."
He Mu said that the arrow hit the wrong spot, and he probably wouldn't be able to sit or lie down for a while.
"These thieves are truly despicable! Once I find out who they are, I, Wanyan Zongbi, will fight them to the death for the rest of my life!"
With his only remaining left eye, Jin Wuzhu stared intently at the people behind him, vowing to etch the images of those thieves into his heart!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you injured?"
Despite his own pain, Hemu showed concern for Jin Wuzhu.
There was no other way; he had already invested all his wealth in Jin Wuzhu's cause. If anything happened to Jin Wuzhu, he would suffer a huge loss!
"I'm fine! It's just an eye, I can afford to lose it!"
Jin Wuzhu was also a ruthless man. After thinking for a moment, he asked Hemu.
"Hemu, do you know Xiahou Dun from the late Han Dynasty?"
"I am naturally familiar with Xiahou Yuanrang, a famous general of Cao Wei. During the battle of Yanzhou, his left eye was injured by a stray arrow. Although he only had one eye afterward, he was still a famous general of Cao Wei!"
As He Mu spoke, he looked at Jin Wuzhu. Indeed, now that Jin Wuzhu had lost his right eye, he did look somewhat like Xiahou Dun.
"That's right! If he can become a famous general with a single glance, then I can too!"
Jin Wuzhu seemed to be encouraging himself. After he finished speaking, he grabbed the arrow with his backhand and pulled hard. With a spurt of blood, the arrow was actually pulled out!
"Ho! Ho!..."
He Mu dared not imagine how painful it would be to be pulled out like this. He only saw that Jin Wuzhu, who was usually as imposing as a mountain, was now clenching his fists tightly, with veins bulging on his face and letting out a low growl. He was obviously trying to suppress the pain in his body!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, why, why are you doing this!"
He Mu was terrified. "No way, are all the Jurchens this brave? Pulling them up alive?!"
"Ho, ho..."
Jin Wuzhu was still panting heavily, and his face had turned much paler. His empty eye sockets had become bloody holes, and blood was still flowing out!
"Your Highness, quick, stop the bleeding!"
He Mu was terrified. "No, you're not just drawing blood like this! You'll die here in a minute!"
He quickly tore off a corner of his clothes and handed it to Jin Wuzhu to help him stop the bleeding.
Meanwhile, the guards who rushed over saw Jin Wuzhu in this state and hurriedly searched their bodies for herbs. Although the Jin people's medical skills were not as good as those of the Han people, they still had herbs to stop bleeding!
"Listen up, all of you!"
As Jin Wuzhu watched as more and more guards surrounded him, he suddenly raised his voice!
"These scoundrels are shameless, resorting to underhanded tactics. I was caught off guard and fell into their trap!"
"But! How could the warriors of my Great Jin Dynasty retreat because of injury? We Jin people are eagles! Even without an eye, we can still soar through the heavens!"
"Those benevolent people in the south always say, 'The essence of one's father and the blood of one's mother are invaluable!' Today, I, the king, will show them what it truly means to be invaluable!"
After saying this, Jin Wuzhu, in front of a group of guards, decisively stuffed the eyeball from the arrow into his mouth and ate it like a skewer! (Note: Historical books do not mention how Xiahou Dun dealt with the eye, but the Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes him pulling out the arrow and eating the eyeball.)
"Hey..."
This ruthless scene made He Mu want to vomit on the spot, but when he thought that the person who did this was Jin Wuzhu, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and swallowed back the discomfort!
"Fourth Prince! Fourth Prince! Fourth Prince!"
However, upon witnessing this scene with Jin Wuzhu, the other guards suddenly became incredibly excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline! They waved their weapons and cheered loudly for Jin Wuzhu!
"Hoo!!"
Jin Wuzhu, having swallowed his own eyeball, raised the arrow in his hand high in response to the guards around him.
"Men, assemble! We're going back! Kill those people!"
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
……
It has to be said that Jin Wuzhu really had a knack for gaining prestige in the army. Look how well he played this trick, which excited many people!
"Warriors of the Great Jin! Follow me and charge back!"
Meng An, one of the guards, gathered a group of men and immediately turned around and charged back towards Yue Fei's side!
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Seeing that someone had charged back, Jin Wuzhu finally couldn't hold on any longer. His body went limp, and he collapsed onto Hemu behind him.
"Help me up, help me up, give me a hand!"
Jin Wuzhu's voice was trembling. He Mu looked at him and saw that Jin Wuzhu's face was as pale as paper; he was indeed about to collapse.
"Medicine! Bring me the medicine!"
Hemu quickly ordered someone to bring medicine and pressed firmly against Jin Wuzhu's eye sockets! He kept praying in his heart:
Don't die! You absolutely mustn't die!
……
"kill!"
At this moment, Yue Fei was still fighting among the crowd. Of course, he was still thinking about the person he had shot with an arrow.
"Damn it, where is that person?"
Yue Fei's spear pierced through another Jin soldier, but he still couldn't see the man who had been hit by the arrow, because more Jin soldiers were rushing towards him!
"It's him! Kill him! Avenge the Fourth Prince!"
"Avenge the Fourth Prince!"
……
"The Fourth Prince?"
Yue Fei silently memorized the name. It seemed the person he had shot was of quite high status, a fourth prince. He would definitely ask him his name later.
"kill!"
The Jin army's Meng'an turned and charged towards Yue Fei. Yue Fei grabbed his spear, drew his bow again, and fired two arrows with a swift motion!
"what!!"
With one bow and two arrows, swift as lightning, both arrows pierced directly into the eyes of the Jin soldier Meng'an!
Meng An felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, followed by excruciating pain. He instinctively tried to scream, but Yue Fei's spear pierced his throat!
"Brother! I'm coming!"
Yang Zaixing was covered in blood. He charged in from behind, with Xue Lihua's head hanging from the neck of his warhorse, a truly horrifying sight.
"Zai Xing, are you tired?"
"Brother! This is nothing!!"
"Alright! You go ahead and lead the charge, break through those people, and keep moving forward!"
When Yue Fei saw Yang Zaixing arrive, he immediately appointed him as the vanguard of the army again!
"it is good!"
Yang Zaixing roared and charged back to the front of the column, his iron spear sweeping out, sending one Jin man after another flying! Wherever his warhorse went, the terrified Jin men scattered in all directions!
Tonight, he and Yue Fei are the Jurchens' nightmare!
