Tangled

The next day.

The golden morning glow appeared on the top of the mountain, and the soft and warm sunlight reflected the corpses all over the ground, but it could no longer warm their bodies and minds.

Looking down from the sky, the entire dense forest seemed to have been torn open a big hole, the ground was stained red with bright red blood, and countless birds and beasts hovered around, waiting for everyone to disperse and feast on it.

Gu Tingshu stood among the corpses, supporting his exhausted body with his long sword.

Seeing that the battle was over, the slow iron cavalry who came to support retreated silently, leaving only dozens of people in embarrassment lying on the ground panting.

This battle lasted all night, although there were casualties, but fortunately the result was as they wished in their hearts.

Shen Qiqi came out from behind the tree, coughed twice, stood and watched for a long time, then brushed off Mu Chengze's hand, stepped over the corpse, and approached the blood-stained person step by step.

Her body was extremely weak, and she would cough up some blood after walking a few steps, but she had already expended all her strength in just a few dozen steps.

After finally walking in front of Gu Tingshu, seeing his slashed face, she tilted her head and smiled heartlessly.

"Nowadays, my cousin is uglier than me."

Although she had some injuries, after being drenched by the rain, most of the blood on her clothes had gone, and she looked clean.

But he was different, the clothes on his body could no longer see the original color, and the blood was spread layer by layer, and the bloody smell on his body was overwhelming.

The poison had just been cured, and his body was still injured. After fighting all night, Gu Tingshu's sword hand was trembling.

Hearing Shen Qiqi's voice, he just raised his eyes to look at her.

Shen Qiqi pursed her lips and smiled, but before she could stop her smile, she coughed a few more times.

Poisonous blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, but as if she was used to it, she spit it sideways and wiped it clean before turning back.

She stretched out her tightly bound hand, gently placed it on Gu Tingshu's hand holding the sword, and said softly, "Cousin, let's go home."

Her words were still so soft, she was obviously weak to the point of collapse, but there was still a faint smile on her face.

The fingertips covering the back of the hand were cold, like a person lying on the ground without any warmth.

Gu Tingshu moved, and put his forehead against her forehead, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Aren't you afraid?"

When she saw her once, she was afraid of it for ten years. Now that she has grown up, she has grown a lot of courage, and dared to step on the corpses all over the ground.

"My cousin is here, don't be afraid."

Seeing the wound he suffered in order to kill a blood, how could she be afraid.

"Just don't be afraid."

Gu Tingshu straightened up, picked her up with one hand and pulled out the sword in the other, and walked towards Lang Shiqi who was sitting paralyzed by the side.

"Show her."

Just as Lang Shiqi was going to check on Mu Chengze's injuries, when he saw Gu Tingshu coming over, he clasped his fists and saluted and looked at Mu Chengze.

Seeing Mu Chengze waving his hand to indicate that he was fine, he stretched out his hand to catch Shen Qiqi's pulse.

Before he could diagnose anything, Shen Qiqi spat out another mouthful of blood, then leaned against Gu Tingshu and closed her eyes to catch her breath.

The pitch-black blood had a strong fishy smell, and Lang Shiqi hurriedly took out a bottle of concoction and handed it to Gu Tingshu.

"Master Hou feeds the medicine to the girl first."

As he spoke, he started his pulse again. After a few breaths, his expression became more and more serious. He glanced at Shen Qiqi who was taking a sip of medicine, and took two steps back.

"Master Hou, the poisonous gas has entered the girl's body, and she has taken too many detoxification pills in the past few days. day."

Three days is already too much, if the poisonous blood can't be stopped, I'm afraid that after tonight, the girl will lose blood and die.

"What medicine can cure it?"

Mu Chengze walked over, seeing that Shen Qiqi was getting weaker, he hurriedly asked.

"Baidu Pill can detoxify the poisonous gas in the girl's body, but the Baidu Pill is too strong. With the girl's current state, I'm afraid she can't bear it."

There were four hundred poison pills in total, two of which were eaten by them, and the other two were in the palace.

Nowadays, it is impossible to care whether the body can bear it or not, it is true to get it first.

"Immediately send a letter to the emperor, asking him to send the imperial physician to escort the pills out of the city, and we will go back immediately."

When the iron cavalry left behind, there were many thousand-mile horses left behind, and now they just hurried back.

"The journey is long, and it will be bumpy soon. This subordinate will give the girl the needle first, and protect her heart veins first. Your Highness and Lord Hou should also bandage them first."

Following Wolf Shiqi's gesture, Gu Tingshu put Shen Qiqi down, raised his hand to stop Eleven's approaching hand, took the medicine powder and bandaged it himself.

Wolf Seventeen applied more than a dozen needles on Shen Qiqi's body, seeing that she was breathing easier, he was relieved when he pulled out the needles.

"Master Hou, the girl has stabilized a little now, she has fallen asleep now, Master Hou must always pay attention not to let the girl choke."

Gu Tingshu responded in a low voice, and left the others to deal with the wounds, then he hugged Shen Qiqi and rode away.

Mu Chengze wanted to keep up, but the wound from the arrow was torn apart during the fight, and now he couldn't bear the bumps even more.

He stayed behind and was escorted by a few still-moving guards from Eleven and Lang.

"Your Highness, this place is not safe, you should stay here and let Lang Wu take people back."

The bloody smell was still all over the sky, and the wild beasts around were staring at him. If His Highness was injured again, he would really die.

"We will go back after we pack up, you don't have to worry, the rebels have been wiped out, there will be no danger here."

They escaped a lot of rebels, but the general situation is gone, and they can't do anything.

Having just gone through a fierce battle, those rebels who fled will indeed not turn their heads back.

Lang Yi thought about it, and seeing Mu Chengze's sullen face, he hurriedly took orders to leave.

The horses left behind by the iron cavalry were all good horses, and even with two people sitting on them, their speed did not decrease in the slightest.

Gu Tingshu tied Shen Qiqi upside down in front of him with a rope, covered her with a cloak over his head, and lashed the whip.

It was already extremely uncomfortable, but now being thrown up and down again, the skin on the heel of the leg that had just scabbed was broken again, the pain caused Shen Qiqi to struggle to wake up.

With the movement of the horse, his forehead hit his hard chest, and it turned red in a short while.

Shen Qiqi stretched out her hand to gently wrap around Gu Tingshu's waist, and pressed her forehead against his chest to stabilize herself.

The sound of the wind whistled past his ears, and the cloak was completely attached to his back, so he knew how fast the speed was without asking.

Shen Qiqi wanted to say that there is no need to be so anxious, but when she opened her mouth, another mouthful of blood gushed out, soaking the chest that had already been covered with layers.

After coughing a few times, Shen Qiqi panted heavily, and tapped lightly with the hand behind Gu Tingshu's waist.

"Cousin, if I die, can you send me back to Jiangzhou?"

She had forgotten what Jiangzhou looked like, and if she really died, she wanted to go back and have a look.

Kyoto is too cold, she has had enough of living here, and she doesn't want to be buried here after death.

"To shut up."

"You're not going to die."

"If you want to go back to Jiangzhou, you can walk back by yourself."

His tone was unusually emotional, and he was no longer as cold as before. Shen Qiqi tried her best to pull the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that had disappeared before she was noticed.
