With all the generals dead, the Beiliang soldiers ran even faster.
With the sound of clashing swords gone, the sound of tearing silk in the shadows became even more pronounced.
The ground was covered with swarms of poisonous insects, forcing the Chiyu Army to retreat repeatedly. As if on command, the surviving insects all crawled toward Su Luo and Nangong Chiyu.
The horses beneath them were already stiff and unable to move. If they were to be eaten by these insects, the two of them would not be able to escape either.
"Your Highness, please be careful..."
Chi Yi and his group were also blocked by poisonous insects. In the darkness, by the light of the fire, they could vaguely see that the prince and princess were trapped.
At first, Su Luo and Nangong Chiyu used guns to shoot at the poisonous insects, but the horses were stiff and couldn't run, and if they got too close, she couldn't shoot them with her hands.
The gunshots were loud, but these poisonous insects were attacking them in a well-organized manner, clearly indicating that someone was secretly controlling them.
Su Luo gestured for Nangong Chiyu behind her to stop firing. Given the current situation, they wouldn't be able to eliminate all the poisonous insects.
"Nangong Chiyu, listen quietly, is there any other sound here?"
Besides the rustling of poisonous insects, there seemed to be a faint, penetrating sound among them.
Nangong Chiyu nodded to Su Luo, indicating that he had heard it as well.
Using the sound to pinpoint the location, Su Luo fired repeatedly into the darkness. She didn't know if the person in the shadows had been hit, but the sound of tearing cloth clearly increased significantly.
"Luo Luo, it's too late. I'll carry you away from here, let's go..."
The poisonous insects have already crawled up the horse's limbs, and the horse will soon be unable to withstand it.
Only if he carries Su Luo away can she survive. Otherwise, if she is bitten by a poisonous insect, she will first stiffen, then her blood will stop circulating, and her body will rot.
Su Luo kept firing her gun until the sound disappeared.
It was too late for them to escape. Nangong Chiyu, covered in blood, forcibly picked her up.
The moment Su Luo jumped off the horse, she noticed that the spot where Nangong Chiyu was about to land was full of poisonous insects.
If he were bitten by a poisonous insect, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Without hesitation, Su Luo focused her mind and brought Nangong Chiyu into her space.
Nangong Chiyu felt a flash before his eyes, and he and Luo Luo found themselves in another space.
There is land here, as well as several chests of gold and silver jewelry, and piles of rice weighing tens of thousands of dan (a unit of weight).
There was a shelf behind him, with books and herbs on it.
And some bottles and jars, things he had never seen before.
Then, on the shelves behind, there were many guns that looked like the ones he was holding.
Before he could examine the area closely, he looked down and saw that there were no poisonous insects where he was standing.
The unease and anxiety in my heart finally subsided.
This was the first time Su Luo had brought a living person into her space.
The existence of this space is too incredible; she hasn't even figured out how to explain it to Nangong Chiyu yet.
However, none of that matters. What matters is that Nangong Chiyu was not bitten by the poisonous insects and he is still alive.
For Su Luo, this was already a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.
"Put me down, it's safe here."
If Su Luo doesn't speak, Nangong Chiyu will continue to hold her.
Nangong Chiyu looked down at the person in his arms. From what Su Luo said, he realized that she knew where they were.
Even after putting Su Luo down, Nangong Chiyu remained on high alert.
"Sit down first, take off your outer robe, and I'll treat your wound."
He watched as Su Luo skillfully took out medicine, sewing needles and thread, and transparent bottles that he had never seen before from the shelf.
Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Su Luo placed the first-aid kit next to him, her hands still busy, and said to him.
"I will tell you everything here once your wounds are healed. This is my last secret to you."
Nangong Chiyu nodded. He was utterly puzzled by the sudden appearance of this space, but he still chose to trust Su Luo.
As Nangong Chiyu turned his head, he looked up and saw Chi Yi and the others through the mist.
The poisonous insects outside were mostly dead. Chi Yi led his men to clean up the battlefield and called out loudly, searching for him and Su Luo.
This means that they are still in Beichuan City, and this space is not his illusion, because the pain he felt when Su Luo cleaned his wounds was real.
"Luo Luo, can't Chi Yi and the others see us?"
Su Luo followed his gaze to the outside, and then nodded.
"You can't see it, but Chi Yi is outside. You can focus on healing."
Suppressing his curiosity, Nangong Chiyu turned his gaze to Su Luohou and never looked away.
It took Su Luo about two hours to treat all the wounds, big and small, on his body.
Finally, she even put him on an IV drip of anti-inflammatory medicine. She used any medicine that could help Nangong Chiyu's injuries heal faster.
Since he had even brought the space with him, Su Luo naturally didn't need to hold back on these potions.
After everything was settled, Su Luo took a chair and sat down next to Nangong Chiyu.
Just as Nangong Chiyu was about to ask them where they were, he saw Chi Yi and the others outside.
They were still cleaning up the battlefield. It couldn't have taken this long to clear the dead bodies on the ground. He clearly remembered that Su Luo had been treating his wounds for two hours.
"Luo Luo, Chi Yi and the others..."
Seeing him frown, Su Luo guessed his question.
"Are you saying that Chi Yi is inefficient?"
Nangong Chiyu didn't answer, but he was indeed puzzled. Chi Yi had followed her for so many years, it was impossible that he couldn't even do the most basic task of cleaning up the battlefield, after all, they had done it many times before.
Su Luo was quite nervous. After all, if she were to tell Nangong Chiyu the secret of this space, she would inevitably be unable to hide the fact that she was not the real Su Luo.
She wasn't the person the Chen family bought, and she didn't know what they would face once Nangong Chiyu found out.
“Nangong Chiyu, you’ve misunderstood Chi Yi. This place we’re in is my personal space. Time inside is different from time outside.”
Two hours have passed here, while only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has elapsed outside. That's why you see that Chi Yi and the others haven't changed much since then.
There was no darkness in the space. Su Luo looked into Nangong Chiyu's eyes, which were narrow like an eagle's, and were filled with disbelief and incomprehension.
He had never heard of or seen anything like a personal space. Su Luo suddenly told him that this place was so big, with land for planting, and said it was her personal space.
Neither ancient books nor legends record that a person has a space that they can enter and exit at will, unless it is a god or a forest spirit in mythology.
"Luo Luo, are you... really my Luo Luo?"
Su Luo didn't know what he meant, but she still told Nangong Chiyu the truth.
"I...I am not actually Su Luo. The real Su Luo died long ago."
