Chapter 2616 What are you thinking about when life and death are at stake?
Each step seemed to be stepping on her heart.
Xue Yun opened his eyes wide and whispered, "You——"
The rain, and the hot tears welling up from her heart, suddenly filled her eyes, and then silently mixed with the cold raindrops that fell, making her vision clear again for a moment.
It became clear immediately.
The person who came over was Zhu Feng.
“……!”
At this moment, she was completely dazed. She even forgot to struggle or call for help. She just froze there, staring stupidly at the person in front of her.
After an unknown amount of time, she said in a hoarse voice, "You—?"
Zhu Feng frowned and glanced at her. Seeing her bewildered expression, he didn't say much. He just turned his head and ordered the personal guards who followed him: "Bring the rope."
"yes!"
Almost the same as the last time, when Zhu Feng rushed to Bailong City to meet the envoy of the Parthian Empire, he met Xue Yun who was stuck in the mud on the road. He also grabbed one end of the rope and threw the other end over.
The rope fell right in front of Xue Yun.
The stirred mud splashed on her face, but Xue Yun was still lying on the ground in a daze, as if in a trance.
Zhu Feng frowned: "Hurry and grab the rope!"
“……?”
Hearing his low voice, Xue Yun was stunned again. He looked up at him again and seemed to come back to his senses.
He stretched out his trembling hands and grabbed the rope.
Zhu Feng pulled back hard, and the rope was pulled out of her hand.
Zhu Feng's brows were furrowed.
The people around couldn't help but feel puzzled. Everyone could see that Xue Yun was distracted, but it was already a matter of life and death. The quagmire had already swallowed her chest. If she sank a little deeper, even the Golden Immortal could not save her!
Everyone also said: "Doctor Xue, please pay attention!"
"Yeah, just hold on tight!"
Xue Yun looked up at them, then looked at Zhu Feng, whose eyes were clearly filled with anger.
He immediately said, "Yes, yes."
Then she struggled to stretch out her arms and grabbed the rope on the ground. At this time, she was really weak and had no extra strength left. She simply wrapped the rope around her arms several times, and finally tied a knot in her palm, then gritted her teeth and pulled it tight.
Zhu Feng finally let out a deep breath and said, "Pay attention!"
After saying that, he pulled the rope back with force.
Suddenly, most of Xue Yun's body was pulled out of the mud.
Once someone is freed, they subconsciously struggle, but Zhu Feng, with his sharp eyesight, immediately yells, "Lie down and don't move!"
“……!”
Xue Yun trembled again and immediately fell to the ground, not moving at all.
Zhu Feng then grabbed the rope and pulled it back little by little, finally pulling her out of the quagmire and onto the hard ground.
Just as Xue Yun was supporting herself with her trembling arms and slowly trying to stand up, she heard a sharp neigh from behind her. She turned around and saw that it was her horse, which had been completely swallowed up by the mire.
Xue Yun suddenly froze.
There were many complicated emotions flashing in her eyes. She turned her head slowly, but did not look at Zhu Feng immediately. Instead, she stood there blankly for a long time before she walked stiffly to Zhu Feng step by step and saluted him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng looked down at her.
It's almost the same as last time.
Her face was pale and she looked dazed, especially her eyes, which flickered, and he didn't know what she was thinking. He could even feel that when he saved her just now, her soul seemed to be floating outside her body.
What else can a person think about when his life is at stake?
But he didn't ask.
He just said, "It's okay now."
Xue Yun lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Your humble servant, your humble servant, deserves to die."
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while and said calmly, "That's good to know."
Xue Yun shuddered for a moment, then continued, "But your humble servant, your humble servant still hopes, I hope that the emperor will let you return home."
“…”
"I really, really—"
She wanted to say something, but at this moment, her tongue was stiff and her body seemed not to belong to her. The heavy pressure and fatigue of the past few days finally overwhelmed her.
The faint light in her eyes was extinguished in an instant like a candle in the wind.
Suddenly, he fell backward like a puppet without its strings.
Zhu Feng caught her.
Feeling that the soft body in his arms was so thin that it was unbearable, and even though it was unconscious, it was still trembling slightly. Zhu Feng couldn't help but frown.
He picked her up.
Turning around, he said, "Go back!"
Everyone immediately said, "Yes!"

The same heavy rain also hit Nan Yan's carriage.
She sat in the carriage, surrounded by this noisy sound, and couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. Ruoshui, who was finally traveling with her, kept nagging: "Your Highness, you really don't care about your body at all."
“…”
"It's raining so hard and it's so cold, and the queen has just recovered from her illness."
“…”
"What if I fall ill again?"
Nan Yan glanced at her impatiently and said, "Can't you say something nice? You're always sick in front of me. Are you really hoping that I'll get sick?"
"Ah? No."
Ruoshui quickly shut her mouth.
Nan Yan lifted the curtain again and peeked out. She was surrounded by the imperial guards led by Ying Shao, protecting her as she moved forward. Although she knew their pace wasn't slow, they were still moving in the pouring rain, so no matter how fast they went, there was a limit to how fast they could go.
Nan Yan asked, "Master Ying, how long will it take us to catch up?"
Ying Shao was riding a horse with a conical hat on his head. When he heard the imperial concubine's question, he immediately rode his horse parallel to the carriage.
He said in a deep voice: "According to the current pace, even if we go faster, it will take at least another night."
Nan Yan said, "Faster."
Ying Shao said, "I understand. But the rain is too heavy, and there will be muddy swamps on the grassland. I also have to consider your Majesty's safety."
Nan Yan was about to say something when suddenly, a sound was heard from the vast rain.
To be precise, it was the sound of horses galloping, pulling the carriage forward.
On this grassland, besides them, are there other people driving horse-drawn carriages?
Nan Yan immediately lifted the curtain further and stuck her head out to look.
Not only was she curious, but the personal soldiers around her also perked up and looked at the direction where the sound came from with great vigilance. After all, Guanxi was indeed not peaceful and the danger might come from somewhere.
As everyone watched, they saw a carriage driving out from the rain.
The carriage was still some distance away from them, and they couldn't see the people on it clearly. They could only barely see that three horses were pulling the carriage in parallel, and the speed was very fast.
Everyone was very alert, fearing that there might be some danger.
But the carriage didn't even stop, it quickly overtook them and sped away.
Only the coachman seemed to turn around and look at them.
