Chapter 1727 A Broken Hand
She didn't look up, but at this moment, she felt the familiar body temperature and the smell of that person.
"emperor……"
She quickly reached out and grabbed the hand that was protecting her. The rough palm, the strong arm, everything was so familiar. Just when she was terrified and thought she was about to lose everything, he appeared again.
Nan Yan only felt a burning sensation in her eyes, and something surged up from her heart, almost bursting out of her eyes.
She looked up.
Tears blurred her vision, but she could still see the face clearly.
"emperor……"
The person standing in front of her was Zhu Feng.
Perhaps because he had just returned from outside, he looked dusty and exhausted, with snow foam on his head and shoulders, and his nose was red from the cold, and even—
I don’t know if it was because he saw that my eyes were red, but his eyes also turned red.
It felt like something was burning in my eyes.
Nan Yan heard his hoarse voice.
"Nan Yan..."
When she heard his voice, Nan Yan almost burst into tears.
But she gritted her teeth and endured it, even showing a relieved smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Your Majesty, you are back. I'm glad you are safe and sound."
“…”
For some reason, Zhu Feng did not answer her.
After hearing Nan Yan's words, his expression seemed even more embarrassed.
After a long silence, he said softly, "I am back, but safe—"
“……?”
Nan Yan looked at him in a daze.
I don't quite understand what he meant by the unfinished sentence.
He's back, but what's wrong? Is there still something not "peaceful"?
At this time, Nan Yan finally calmed down a little and suddenly remembered the blood on the snow.
He looked Zhu Feng up and down again.
His whole body was intact and not injured at all.
That blood is—
She suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhu Feng with wide eyes. Then she heard him say in a low voice, "It's my fault."
“…”
"I didn't take good care of him."
“…”
Nan Yan's breath was choked.
Zhu Feng slowly turned sideways, and saw that behind him, the people who had been surrounding the bed had all moved away when they saw the imperial concubine arrive. On the large bed lay a person, pale and unconscious.
"Yiyou?!"
Nan Yan recognized him at a glance, it was Gu Yiyou!
What's wrong with him?
Seeing Gu Yiyou covered in blood, Nan Yan felt cold all over and ran over in a hurry.
Zhu Feng followed closely behind her, not forgetting to stretch out a hand to protect her. When he ran to the bed, he saw Gu Yiyou covered in wounds, his clothes stained with blood, and even the original color could not be seen.
How could this happen? How could he be so badly injured?
Could it be that he had followed them into that path to attack Thermidor?
But if that was the case, why were Ying Shao, Zhu Feng, and Yang Dai all safe and sound, while he was the only one who was injured so seriously?
More importantly, Nan Yan saw that he held his hands tightly in his arms, as if he was holding something important and would never let go. Even Wang Baizhi, who was guarding the bedside, couldn't pull his hands over to take his pulse.
"What happened to him?"
Nan Yan asked anxiously: "Everything was fine, how could it be——"
Zhu Feng looked at her and was speechless.
Yang Dai stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I failed to protect Master Gu."
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly, what happened to Yiyou?"
Yang Dai lowered her head and said, "At three quarters past the hour of the twilight hour, I led my men into the path that Master Gu and Master Tong had discovered. It was indeed a deep valley that led to the depths of the Hot Moon Bend, so we went in."
“…”
"We walked very carefully along the way. To avoid being discovered by the bandits inside, we didn't even dare to light torches."
“…”
"However, just as we reached an extremely narrow intersection, barely wide enough for one person to pass, I suddenly realized something was amiss. Based on our previous assumptions about the terrain, that place was very close to the interior of the Thermidor Crescent, and even closer to the bandits' lair. Yet, we couldn't hear a single sound."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan held her breath.
It seemed that at this moment, the scene also appeared in front of her eyes. In the dark valley, she couldn't see her hand in front of her face. She originally thought that she was gradually approaching the lair of the Hot Moon Bandits, but she found that it was so quiet here that she couldn't even hear the wind.
Yang Dai said, "At that time, I sensed something was amiss, so I asked the brothers to stop and listen carefully to what was going on inside."
“…”
"And at that moment, Master Gu suddenly appeared!"
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
She asked hurriedly: "How did he appear?"
Yang Dai said, "He, he jumped down from a cliff, yelling for us to retreat quickly because there was an ambush. And just as he appeared, an ambush appeared in the valley ahead."
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
At this time, Yang Dai couldn't help but shiver.
Recalling that moment, he and his soldiers had almost one foot in the grave. If they moved a little further, they would be completely exposed to the ambushing archers.
Even though they did not walk into the ambush circle, when Gu Yiyou appeared and they reacted and retreated hurriedly, the ambushers immediately attacked them.
Arrows shot down like raindrops.
Fortunately, the distance was still far, and the arrow that hit his back did not penetrate his armor, but it was still a heavy blow. I'm afraid that there are large bruises on his body under the armor.
However, Gu Yiyou, a flesh and blood person, suddenly appeared like this and undoubtedly became the target of those people.
If he hadn't appeared...
If it weren't for him...
He simply couldn't imagine it.
At this moment, Wang Baizhi, who had been busy beside Gu Yiyou, said softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Master Gu suffered some arrow wounds. I have treated them. Fortunately, there is no damage to his internal organs. However, I am unable to move Master Gu's hand, so I cannot help him feel his pulse."
Nan Yan looked again and found that there was a shackle on one of Gu Yiyou's wrists!
What's going on?
Zhu Fengxian said to the people beside him, "Go up and help Doctor Wang."
"yes."
Two lieutenants came up hurriedly, grabbed Gu Yiyou's hands and pulled hard. The two men were also martial artists and were extremely strong, but it took them a lot of effort to finally pull Gu Yiyou's hands away.
As soon as he pulled it open, something fell out of his arms.
Nan Yan went forward and took a look, and was immediately frightened and screamed.
"ah!"
What fell from Gu Yiyou's hand was actually a broken hand!
