However, pursuers were closing in.
These assassins are all reckless killing machines.
Jun Chenbi pulled on the reins, embraced Qin Ge from behind, and rode his horse through the dense forest.
About fifteen minutes later, Qin Ge discovered that the tyrant was injured.
Jun Chenbi was shot in the back at some unknown time, the arrow piercing through his shoulder blade and into his chest, causing a pool of blood to flow.
If Qin Ge hadn't discovered it himself, this person probably would have remained silent until his death.
He touched his hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Jun Chenbi leaned most of his weight on Qin Ge, his voice low and weak: "...I'm fine."
"..."
Why is this person trying to be tough?
A strange, inexplicable anger flashed through Qin Ge's mind.
However, he also knew that if things continued like this, Jun Chenbi's body would definitely not be able to hold on.
Having temporarily shaken off the group of assassins, Qin Ge lashed his horse with his whip. The horse, in pain, continued to run forward. The assassins caught up, and he helped Jun Chenbi to the foot of a lush hillside, letting him lean against a tree.
The arrow was a specially made inverted triangle; once it pierced the body, pulling it out would inevitably tear out a large chunk of flesh.
Qin Ge was shocked to discover that the arrowhead was a dark blue color with a cold, gleaming light, clearly indicating that it had been poisoned. Even the blood flowing from the edge of Jun Chenbi's wound was not bright red, but a deep black.
No wonder the tyrant couldn't hold on any longer.
Qin Ge knelt on one knee beside Jun Chenbi, placing one hand on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the arrow is poisoned. The arrow cannot remain in your body for long. I will now begin to remove the arrow for you."
He paused for a moment, then added, "...If Your Majesty is in pain, then bite my hand."
As he spoke, Qin Ge stretched out his left hand.
Jun Chenbi was poisoned, his lips were black, and he had been holding on all the way with a slightly dazed look in his eyes. When he heard Qin Ge's words, he grasped that hand, "No need, pull out the arrow."
Qin Ge lifted the hem of his robe, drew a dagger tucked into the side of his black boots, and, having no strong liquor or fire to sterilize it, simply thrust the arrow through Jun Chenbi's body, severed the arrowhead with the dagger, and then pulled the broken arrow out from Jun Chenbi's back.
As he pulled out the arrow, Jun Chenbi suddenly clenched his other hand into a fist from his sleeve, his long knuckles turning bluish-white as he suppressed his pain.
He never cried out in pain from beginning to end, only letting out a muffled groan.
Qin Ge didn't even realize how much force Jun Chenbi was using to grip her hand.
Is this the forbearance of an emperor?
He sighed, then took out the antidote pills from his body, crushed one and sprinkled it on Jun Chenbi's wound, and held the other to his lips: "Your Majesty, this is the Hundred Flowers Pill, which can cure all poisons."
Jun Chenbi opened his mouth and swallowed.
Qin Ge's brows relaxed slightly. The next second, his ears twitched, and he heard the sound of the assassins returning. It seemed that the assassins had followed the horse tracks, realized they had been tricked, and immediately turned back. The other side probably also guessed that if they didn't have horses and someone was injured, they wouldn't have gone far and would definitely conduct a thorough search of this place.
Qin Ge put on Jun Chenbi's light gold cloak and brushed the lush grass over him to cover his figure.
Just as he was about to get up, Jun Chenbi, who was barely conscious, grabbed his arm: "...What are you going to do?"
"I will draw away the pursuers for His Majesty."
"...I forbid it." Jun Chenbi gripped his hand tightly: "I forbid it, do you hear me?"
"..."
Oh, Qin Ge won't listen to him.
He still has to run away.
Qin Ge gently brushed aside the tyrant's fingers one by one, speaking softly to him as if leaving a will: "Your Majesty, in exchange for my life, will you become a wise ruler in the future?"
