Chapter 361 I'll Take You Home
Huo Zheng grabbed Liu Yan's arm and pulled him up from the edge of the cliff.
"Liu Yan!"
Huo Yanran was still in shock. She didn't care about the rules between the princess and the bride's escort. She rushed forward and hugged Liu Yan, "Are you okay?"
Liu Yan was suddenly hugged and his body was obviously a little stiff, but his first reaction was not to ask Huo Yanran to let him go. Instead, he put his right hand, which was rubbed bloody from climbing on the vines, behind his back to prevent the princess from seeing it.
"What are you hiding?" Huo Yanran noticed his little action and immediately grabbed his right hand which was hidden behind his back and took it out to look at it. "How is your hand? Let me see."
As Huo Yanran spoke, she saw that Liu Yan's hands, once as white as jade, were now worn and bruised. Even in the darkness of the night, she could see that his palms were already a bloody mess...
Liu Yan wanted to pull his hand back, but Huo Yanran held his wrist tightly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw tears in the princess' eyes, and tears immediately fell.
Liu Yan suddenly became a little nervous, "I'm fine, Princess... don't cry."
Huo Yanran was bumped around by the man in black in the float today, making her look miserable and almost losing her life several times. She couldn't hold back any more and tears fell one after another.
"Princess……"
Liu Yan suddenly panicked and wanted to raise his hand to wipe the princess' tears, but his hands were covered in blood, even his sleeves were stained with blood, so he really couldn't touch the princess's face.
It was the second half of the night, and the mountains and rivers were shrouded in darkness. The secret guards who had followed Huo Zheng to rescue the princess stopped their horses at the edge of the cliff. Seeing the scene before them, they all looked up at the sky or turned their heads to look elsewhere.
Seeing this, Huo Zheng suddenly felt that it was rather unnecessary for him to be standing here. However, Huo Yanran only had eyes for Liu Yan and was crying. As her brother, it was not appropriate for him to speak suddenly at this time. So he put his sword back into his sleeve, walked to the side, turned his back to them, and looked into the distance.
The valley in the distance, which was originally a scene of fighting, gradually became silent, and the fire gradually lit up. It was the secret guards he brought with him who rescued the wedding party from Daxing and the envoys from Beili and others, and rested on the spot.
The envoys from Beili were eager to return home, and the pace of the wedding procession was much faster than originally expected. Huo Zheng and Chunzhi led their men on a long journey for several days, but when they sneaked into the territory of Beili, they were still dozens of miles behind the wedding procession.
It was too late to set up an ambush in advance and wait for an opportunity to snatch the bride. Huo Zheng could only gallop to catch up with the wedding party. As soon as he caught up, he found that the wedding party in front had been ambushed in the valley. The Beili people rushed forward desperately to fight head-on with the people ambushing in the dark, while the Daxing people retreated and split into two groups.
The scene was in chaos. Huo Zheng led his men into the mess, but they couldn't find any trace of Huo Yanran anywhere. Both she and the float were gone.
Fortunately, there were secret agents who had been hiding in the wedding procession for a long time. When they saw the prince and his party coming, they immediately stepped forward to report. Just now, a man in black suddenly appeared and claimed to be sent by the King of Chang'an to pick up the princess. Fortunately, the princess was smart and immediately recognized the other party's identity. When the other party saw that he could not deceive the princess, he immediately changed to kidnapping. Lord Liu just chased after him.
The secret agent told Huo Zheng what had just happened and pointed out the direction. Huo Zheng led a dozen secret guards to chase after them, leaving most of them behind to clean up those who were ambushing in the dark.
The Beili envoy and the general who escorted the princess out of the border were not pushovers. They were just caught off guard by the ambush at the beginning. With the help of the secret guards who were good at dealing with assassinations, the situation was quickly reversed.
I just don't know how many of them are left alive.
Huo Zheng was thinking about this when he suddenly heard Huo Yanran behind him call out, "Seventh Brother."
The little princess finally remembered her seventh brother.
Huo Zheng turned around and looked before he could say anything. "Seventh Brother, did you bring any medicine? Give me a bottle quickly."
Huo Zheng paused and ordered the secret guard beside him, "Bring the medicine."
The secret guard came forward and took out two bottles of medicine and a white cloth and handed them to the princess.
"Your hand is badly injured. You must apply medicine immediately. Sit down quickly."
Huo Yanran took a bottle of medicine from the secret guard and said to Liu Yan.
There are many big rocks on the side that are perfect for sitting.
"I can do it myself."
However, Liu Yan didn't want the princess to do these things. Her eyes should be on beautiful things, not his bloody hands.
The princess was a little anxious. "You don't want me to help you apply the medicine. Do you want to trouble my seventh brother to do it for you personally?"
Huo Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. "Lord Liu injured his hand so badly in order to save my sister. It's only natural for me to apply medicine and bandage the wound for you."
Huo Yanran originally said this to prevent Liu Yan from rejecting her, but before Liu Tanhua could even say anything, Seventh Brother interrupted her.
The little princess turned around and glared at Huo Zheng.
Huo Zheng pretended not to notice and said, "It's just that I haven't taken care of others before. If Lord Liu wants to change the candidate, you can tell everyone here."
"Seventh Brother!" Huo Yanran couldn't help but shout at him.
Huo Zheng asked knowingly, "I'm standing right here, why are you shouting so loudly?"
Huo Yanran didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Just at this moment, a carriage came galloping out of the night and stopped a few steps away.
Chunzhi lifted the car curtain and looked towards the edge of the cliff, and saw Huo Yanran, who looked disheveled.
The little princess's hair was disheveled, the phoenix crown on her head had long since disappeared, and her wedding dress was tattered. The night was dark, with only moonlight shining on the world.
But Chunzhi recognized it as Huo Yanran at a glance.
"Yanran!"
Chunzhi called out to her and immediately walked out of the carriage, jumped off, ran quickly towards Huo Yanran, and hugged her, "I'm glad you're okay. I just saw the wedding procession was ambushed, and the flower carriage and the princess disappeared. I was scared to death!"
“Sister-in-law…”
When Huo Yanran saw Chunzhi suddenly appear here, she felt like she was dreaming for a moment and couldn't believe it was real.
It was already a surprise that Seventh Brother suddenly arrived and rescued her and Liu Yan from the cliff. Huo Yanran didn't expect that her sister-in-law would also come.
When Huo Yanran saw her sister-in-law running thousands of miles to Xizhou at night for her seventh brother, she was filled with emotion and thought that it would be great if one day someone would run thousands of miles for her.
As a result, her sister-in-law came for her so quickly.
Huo Yanran's tears, which had just stopped, began to fall again, and she cried, "Sister-in-law, why are you so kind?"
"Silly girl, why are you crying?" Chunzhi had a lot to say to Yanran, but now that she really saw her, she just felt sorry for Yanran's escape from death. She took a handkerchief and gently wiped away the little princess's tears, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to take you home."
