Chapter 104 Bamboo Horse
When the curtain was about to fall, the two met with Chun Yan and others, and the sounds of wild animals came out from the forest under the dark night.

A dozen fire sticks were stuck in the snowdrift.

Several people raised their horses and disappeared into the night with bows and arrows.

There are dangers in night hunting, but for this group, those dangers are not to be feared.

Lyuzig was building a fire where he was, and in the stillness of the night he heard the horses scatter.

The fresh fish was slowly grilled by him over the fire.

Gu Mingzhu rode his horse and walked at night, looking at the forest in the dark. Night hunting has poor eyesight, so he relies on his hearing.

She was only seventeen, and she was very interested in hunting, and she hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, so her interest was high.

After coming to a place and stopping, she heard slight noises around her, curled her lips, and took an arrow.

The arrow is on the string.

Gu Mingzhu was catching prey in the dark night, her eyes were focused, and after a while, the arrow left the string.

The sound of a shot.

Gu Mingzhu got off her horse, rushed to the haystack, and quickly picked up a wild rabbit.

Half an hour later, several people returned home and gathered around the fire.

Liuzige divided the grilled fish and asked, "Where is the master?"

"Should be on the way back."

The few people were not worried, Gu Mingzhu's skills were not inferior to them, and he didn't go deep into the mountains, so he couldn't meet fierce beasts.

After a while, Xu Jue also came back. He put down his prey, looked around, and said, "Where's your lady?"

Yueyan stood up and said, "I'll go look for it."

Several people had to get up, Xu Jue said: "The others just wait here."

She got on the horse, turned the horse's head with Xu Jue, and the two of them hid in the night.

"Miss..." Yueyan called out loudly, and flew down to a high place.

It was pitch black all around, and the sound was drawn into the darkness without echo.

Xu Jue's eyes sank, he looked into the distance, and said after a while: "Search separately, if you find it, send me a signal."

Yueyan nodded, and the two scattered in the night.

Yueyan called her loudly while walking: "Miss..."
-
Gu Mingzhu struggled to pull out her foot in the snow, heard Yueyan's voice, and raised her voice to respond: "I am..."

As soon as the words came out, there was a dull pain in her throat. Gu Mingzhu frowned involuntarily, coughed twice to relieve the pain, and cursed in a low voice in the dark: "This bastard!"

She was dragging a black fox in her hand, and she ran a long way just now to chase it. The snow was deeper, and it took time to walk in the direction of the horse.

Gu Mingzhu saw her horse not far away, patted the snow on her body, picked up the black fox and walked, but before she got close, suddenly the sound of dead branches breaking in the dark night was particularly waking in this silent night.

Gu Mingzhu stopped in her tracks, her eyes followed, and suddenly a sharp blade struck in the darkness.

As soon as Gu Mingzhu flashed, she rolled on the snow and was about to get on her horse.

The man saw through her intentions and rushed towards her like a rabbit. Gu Mingzhu had no choice but to dodge, and the two began to fight in the dark.

She didn't have a weapon in her hand, and the man in front of her was not weak in martial arts. After a few moves, she touched the sword on the horse, drew it out, raised it to meet him, and the man quickly became weak.

She picked several places, and the man stepped back one after another, and was forced to lean against a tree trunk. Just as Gu Mingzhu was about to strike, a black shadow suddenly rushed behind him.

She didn't notice it for a while, and was thrown straight at her. She jumped up and kicked the tree, and pressed her hard into the snow.

The man let out a muffled hum in the darkness, and this muffled sound was mixed with other pains.

Gu Mingzhu immediately guessed that the person behind him was injured, and it was not serious.

She didn't show mercy, and raised her elbow to strike. The man reacted quickly and dodged, while the man in front of him came with a sword.

Enemy on the back!

Gu Mingzhu was dragged by him and rolled on the spot. She didn't expect that there was a pit next to it, but it was only covered with a layer of snow.

Hurriedly humming without even humming, the two rolled into the pit together.

The man groaned and fell silent.

Gu Mingzhu pushed the man away, kicked him, and then he heard muffled voices all over again, thinking that the injuries on his body were not serious, Gu Mingzhu reached out and took out the fire pocket, and illuminated the circle with the faint light of the fire.

The pit looked quite deep, and it would be difficult to get up without a rope. She was thinking of a way, when a woman's anxious voice came from above: "Are you alright?"

Gu Mingzhu suddenly had an idea.

She kicked the man: "Let her pull me up, and I will spare your life."

In the darkness, the man snorted coldly, but did not answer.

"Miss..." Yueyan's voice came from afar.

Gu Mingzhu raised her eyebrows: "Did you hear that? The one who was looking for me, her martial arts are much better than mine, and the one above you can't beat her, maybe she only sees my horse and doesn't see me. The little girl's neck was twisted."

The woman at the pit mouth hurriedly said after hearing her words: "You...don't touch him, I'll pull you up!"

She ran away for a while, and soon came back with the dead vines, and threw the vines down under the cold moonlight, saying: "You bring him up!"

Gu Mingzhu thought for a while, wrapped the vines around the man, and then flew on the vines.

She patted the snow on her body, wrapped her cloak tightly and went to look for the black fox. After picking up the black fox, she was about to mount the horse when the woman behind her also pulled her up.

"Are you ok?"

Gu Mingzhu got on the horse, and was about to leave when the horse was about to leave. Suddenly, a sharp arrow came in front of him, and it went straight to the people behind him.

Gu Mingzhu's complexion changed slightly, she jumped up, raised her sword and knocked down the arrow, and she also fell to the ground.

Yue Yan stood on the horse, holding the bow, his face turned cold: "Miss."

Gu Mingzhu said: "It's just someone who wants to snatch the horse, let them live."

She got back on the horse and was about to pull the rope when the woman suddenly knelt heavily in front of Gu Mingzhu's horse and kept kowtowing: "Miss! Kind lady, please save him! Help him! Miss... Please just he!"

She buried her head deeply in the snow, and after three or two strokes, her forehead was already flushed.

Xu Jue had already arrived after receiving Yueyan's signal, so he drove forward, looked him over and over, and said, "Is there any injury?"

Gu Mingzhu shook her head, she looked at the people on the ground, thought for a while, and said, "Come with us."

"Thank you miss, thank you miss!" The woman kowtowed gratefully.

There are only three horses, the two of them must ride together, Gu Mingzhu took the initiative to give way to the horse, and was about to get on his horse with Xu Jue's hand, when the woman on the ground whispered: "Wu Yue... Wu Yue, Hold on, it's saved."

Gu Mingzhu froze and turned her head to look.

Immediately, the two also got off their horses.

The man was lying on the ground half dead.

She walked a few steps quickly, took the towel, and approached the person's face, revealing a bloodless face.

Gu Mingzhu couldn't believe it: "Ah Yue?"

The faint flames reflected the faces of the two of them, Wu Yue opened his eyes with difficulty, recognized the person in front of him in a trance, fell into a coma before speaking.

Gu Mingzhu's heart sank, she stretched out her hand to check his breath, then helped him onto the horse, then got on the horse, glanced at the dazed woman on the ground, and said, "Yueyan, take her back."
-
An hour later, the doctor in the mansion cleaned up the wound on Wu Yue's body, and poured a decoction, so that bloodless face became a little angry.

Gu Mingzhu sat beside the bed, staring at the person on the bed for a while.

Yueyan came in and reported back: "Miss, she won't say anything."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Put people down first, and send people to guard them."

"Yes." Yueyan glanced at Wu Yue who was on the bed, and backed out.

There are many wounds on his body, not ordinary wounds, but whips and brand marks of torture, new and old, looking extremely frightening, and even his face has unfaded whip marks.

Gu Mingzhu lightly stroked the whip wound on her face, with ice scum in her eyes.

This kind of injury must be only in the military camp, who is it?

Who dares to torture him like this!

Before dawn, the person on the bed woke up from the darkness.

The person next to the bed woke up immediately, Gu Mingzhu's voice was hoarse, with surprise: "Are you awake?"

Wu Yue got used to the light for a while, and saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, blinked and said, "Gu Mingzhu."

Gu Mingzhu smiled and said, "I still recognize me, so it seems I'm fine."

Wu Yue said weakly: "I didn't expect to let you see a joke in this place. You will have to laugh at me in the future."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Young Master Wu has a lot of face, this has fallen into my hands, so why don't you laugh at me severely."

Wu Yue smiled, struggling to get up, Gu Mingzhu hurried to help him, just at this time, someone opened the door and entered, carrying food.

Seeing such a scene as soon as Xu Jue entered the door, she frowned slightly, and quickly relaxed, saying, "Are you awake? Just in time for some breakfast."

Gu Mingzhu took a look, then quickly looked away, and carefully supported the person.

Wu Yue said: "It's just right, I'm a little hungry too."

He smiled at Xu Jue and said, "Thank you."

Gu Mingzhu brought a bowl of minced meat porridge and handed it to him, Wu Yue reached out to take it, with a distorted expression on his face.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Forget it, I'll feed you."

She took a sip, blew, and carefully moved to Wu Yue's mouth: "Master, open your mouth."

Wu Yue smiled, unable to argue with her, she opened her mouth as she said.

After a few moments, Wu Yue took the time to say: "It's worth dying to have you, Gu Mingzhu, serve you like this once in this life."

Xu Jue's eyes flickered slightly.

Gu Mingzhu gave a chuckle, shook her head, and said, "That's all I can do? When you get well, I'll cook for your aunt."

Wu Yue drank the last sip with her hand, then frowned and said, "Are you cooking? Are you going to poison me to death?"

Gu Mingzhu put away the bowls and chopsticks: "Yes, I will save you first, and then poison you to death."

Wu Yue smiled sadly, pretending to be surprised: "It really is the most poisonous woman's heart..."

The two laughed at the same time.

Gu Mingzhu stopped laughing and said, "You take a good rest."

Wu Yue nodded: "You go."

Gu Mingzhu walked out the door of the wing room. She hadn't slept almost all night. She suddenly saw light, closed her eyes, and was immediately supported by someone. Xu Jue supported her from behind and said, "Go back to the room and sleep."

Gu Mingzhu said: "I don't feel sleepy."

Xu Jue picked her up involuntarily, and Gu Mingzhu lifted her feet off the ground, feeling drowsy for a while, she leaned against his arms, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Xu Jue carried him back to the room, took off his cloak, Gu Mingzhu glanced at the desk, and said to Xu Jue, "Did you sleep last night?"

Xu Jue didn't speak.

Gu Mingzhu understood him, and if he didn't speak, it was mostly acquiescing.

She said, "Is the business done?"

Xu Jue said: "The more important things have been dealt with."

Gu Mingzhu praised: "It's amazing."

She rolled into the quilt, scattered her hair accessories, and said: "It's so cold, sleep with me for a while, they can laugh if they want to."

Xu Jue sat by the bed.

Seeing that he was still, Gu Mingzhu stretched out her hand to reach him: "Why don't you sleep? I can't sleep well by myself. You can accompany me for a while."

Xu Jue was dragged down by her, Gu Mingzhu found a comfortable position by herself, hugged him and fell asleep after a while.

Xu Jue watched for a while, the woman's face was seldom tired, and her face was still a little pale. He pulled up the quilt, and just about to get up, Gu Mingzhu's hand chased after him.

Xu Jue sighed secretly: This person...

Gu Mingzhu frowned: "Ah Yue..."

His face froze and he froze for a long time.
-
When I woke up, it was still daytime, and the house was quiet.

Gu Mingzhu called someone to pass the dishes, ate a little, then went to the wing.

Huanhuan stood guard, and when she saw Gu Mingzhu, she bowed her knees and saluted: "Miss."

Gu Mingzhu heard the silence in the room, and asked, "Is anyone awake?"

"I drank the medicine and fell asleep just now, and the doctor also came to change the wound medicine."

Gu Mingzhu nodded and walked in.

Wu Yue woke up when it was getting dark, Gu Mingzhu was reading a book by the window, when she heard the movement of the person on the bed, she leaned closer: "Ah Yue?"

He didn't wake up, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and his expression was in pain: "No...don't...don't..."

Gu Mingzhu hurried to shake his hand: "Ah Yue? Ah Yue?"

That hand held her tightly, causing her pain, as if trying to drag her into that dream.

It's a nightmare.

Gu Mingzhu called him eagerly: "Ah Yue, wake up, I'm here! Wake up!"

The palm of his hand was tightly grasped by him, bleeding out, Gu Mingzhu still didn't realize it: "Wake up quickly..."

Suddenly his hand was caught away, Xu Jue came in at some unknown time, and forcefully opened Wu Yue's hand, a little sternly: "Don't you know it hurts?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "It's just a minor injury."

Xu Jue's eyes darkened.

Wu Yue's expression became more and more painful, and his whole body was almost soaked in sweat: "Don't...don't..."

Gu Mingzhu felt a deep pain in his heart. He was usually in high spirits. He didn't know what stimulated him to become like this. He leaned over and said softly, "Ah Yue? Ah Yue, wake up! It's a dream! It's just a dream That’s all, you wake up and let’s go to the horse race together! We’ll catch birds, fight… we can do whatever, wake up!”

"Ah Yue!" Gu Mingzhu tugged at his hand.

The person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, with panic in his eyes, gasping for air, his eyes gradually focused on the person in front of him: "...Pearl?"

Gu Mingzhu said, "It's me."

Wu Yue's mind relaxed, and he saw that he was holding her hand tightly, let go, felt something was wrong, pinched her palm again, frowned and said, "Did I do it?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "You messed up, have you figured out how to compensate me?"

Wu Yue looked at it for a while, raised his sleeve to wipe the blood from his palm, and said, "What do you want?"

"I want you to get well soon."

"Tch." Wu Yue smiled, let go of her hand, and said, "I thought you wanted me to promise you with your body."

Gu Mingzhu said: "You are good at talking, come on, your clothes are all soaked, I will send someone in to change your clothes, you should take medicine."

Wu Yue let her arrange, lay quietly on the bed, looked at the person who had not spoken for a long time, and said, "This is?"

Wu Yue wanted to ask yesterday, but at that time he was too weak to care, and today he saw someone again.

His appearance and temperament did not look like ordinary people.

Gu Mingzhu said: "I haven't introduced you yet, but this is Xu Jue."

Wu Yue was taken aback: "Xu Jue?"

Gu Mingzhu smiled and said, "It's Xu Jue. Didn't you tell me before I went to Kyushu that you wanted to see what the world-famous Xu Shizi looks like? Well, the man is right in front of your eyes now."

Wu Yue opened his mouth, his eyes were shocked: "I... damn it!"
