After half a cup of tea, the bleeding of Chu Xuan's ankle wound finally stopped. Lu Yanluo then sat on the ground exhausted and breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Xuan was still burning, and due to excessive blood loss, he quickly weakened, but he still insisted, "A Luo, hurry up and leave. This is enemy territory, they will search here soon, leave quickly."

Lu Yanluo stood up, took one of Chu Xuan's arms, and pulled him up with great effort, and replied firmly: "I won't leave. I finally found you, I have to take you back with me."

With the support of Lu Yanluo, Chu Xuan managed to take a few steps, but the injury on his ankle was too severe. Every step was accompanied by heart-wrenching pain. His body tilted, and the two of them fell to the ground in an instant.

Lu Yanluo climbed up and took Chu Xuan's hand again, wanting to help her up, but Chu Xuan used all his strength to pull her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"A Luo, that's enough. Please listen to me." Chu Xuan felt his body temperature gradually disappearing and spoke slowly, "We are married and in love. A Luo, marrying you is the luckiest thing in my life. In the first half of my life, I only wanted to clear my mother's grievances and tried my best to get back what I deserved. Now that I think about it, you are the only one I desire the most. I really want to be with you forever."

Since they met, one thing after another unfolded like a picture scroll. Chu Xuan held the person in his arms, feeling unwilling: "In the past, I did many wrong things and made you unhappy. Will you... forgive me?"

Lu Yanluo sniffed lightly and raised her hand to wipe away her tears: "It's not that easy to forgive you. I tell you, if you die, I will never forgive you in this life!"

[Big fool, I just want you to be alive. As long as you can be alive, nothing else matters.]

Chu Xuan felt mixed emotions of sadness and joy, and hugged the person tightly in his arms.

Just as the two were talking, bursts of hurried horse hooves sounds were heard.

Lu Yanluo stood up cautiously and hid behind the bushes to check. It was the enemy.

I'm afraid they have also received the news that Chu is missing and are searching for him everywhere.

Lu Yanluo turned around and looked at the weak Chu Xuan. He was too badly injured and could not walk anymore.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yanluo made a prompt decision and dragged Chu Xuan to the dense grass nearby: "Wait here, don't make any noise. Sister Cheng and Wen Jie must have come out to look for us by now. You must wait until they come over."

Chu Xuan was already very weak at this moment, but he understood what Lu Yanluo was planning. She wanted to lead the pursuers away and leave him a way out.

Chu Xuan shook his head slowly. He didn't want Lu Yanluo to take risks for him.

After taking a last look at Chu Xuan, Lu Yanluo quickly stood up and mounted her horse.

"drive!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, the sound of horse hooves rang out quickly and then suddenly faded away.

"There! Chase her! Don't let her get away!"

In the bushes, Chu Xuan used all his strength and raised his hand, but Lu Yanluo had already gone away.

Lu Yanluo was speeding all the way, but not aimlessly. She was now heading towards Xuzhou. Zhongzhou was only three days' journey away from Xuzhou. If she could reach Xuzhou smoothly, she could join forces with the Xuzhou garrison to fight back and kill this group of people.

However, man proposes, God disposes. The warhorse under Lu Yanluo had already been injured on the battlefield, and now it had been carrying Lu Yanluo for a day and a night, but it died on the road.

Behind her, the pursuers were getting closer and closer, and Lu Yanluo had no way to escape.

Just when Lu Yanluo thought that she would die here this time, an arrow flew straight towards the enemy from behind and hit them.

Lu Yanluo turned around in surprise and saw a group of people with flags bearing the Chinese character "Xu" running towards them at high speed. Leading them was a young general holding a bow in his hand.

The arrow just now was obviously shot from his hand.

Xu is the garrison of Xuzhou!

The pursuing soldiers, numbering no more than a hundred men, were surrounded by the Xuzhou garrison and wiped out in an instant.

The leading general dismounted his horse and said, "I am Prince Su Chuchen. Why was the young lady chased here by the enemy?"

Lu Yanluo remembered Prince Su Chuchen, the emperor’s youngest son.

Before going on the expedition, Chu Xuan had talked about his younger brother. Although Chu Chen was a prince, he was not favored by the emperor at all because of his mother's low status. He grew up following Chu Xuan and liked to stick to Chu Xuan since he was a child. To Chu Xuan, he was the only one among many brothers who was close to him, and his fief was in Xuzhou.

Knowing who the person in front of her was, Lu Yanluo was not vague and went straight to the point: "I am Princess Ye, Lu Yanluo, and I followed my prince to the northern border. Now that my prince is in trouble, I ask Prince Su to lend a hand!"

"What happened to my brother?" As expected, Chu Chen became anxious as soon as he heard that Chu Xuan was in trouble.

"The situation is urgent. Let's talk about it on the way. Please give me a horse, Your Majesty. I have to rush back to Zhongzhou immediately."

Chu Xuan was seriously injured, and Lu Yanluo was really worried.

Chu Chen originally came to help Chu Xuan. Upon hearing this, he did not hesitate and immediately followed Lu Yanluo straight to Zhongzhou.

On the other side, Cheng Ruoxue and Wen Jie split into two groups to search for Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo.

Wen Jie followed the horseshoe prints on the grass to find where Chu Xuan was, and suddenly discovered a bloodstain. Wen Jie acted decisively and took his men to flatten all the grass within a five-mile radius, and finally found the dying Chu Xuan.

When Lu Yanluo returned to Zhongzhou, two days had passed. Chu Xuan's condition had stabilized. Lu Yanluo slowly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally gotten through this difficult time.

Although Chu Xuan's foot injury did not damage his tendons and veins, he still needed recuperation. Fortunately, Dongchen, taking into account the 50,000 garrison troops Chu Chen brought from Xuzhou, did not dare to start a war, which gave Chu Xuan a chance to recuperate.

During this period of time, Lu Yanluo was not idle. She developed a simple version based on modern tear gas, filling it with chili powder. At the same time, she collected black beans, which were horses' favorite food, in the city.

Half a month later, the enemy attacked the city again. Lu Yanluo assigned the Shenji Camp where Wen Jie was to lead a team. One man carried a bag of black beans and sneaked into the battlefield during the chaos. He then sprinkled the black beans at the enemy's feet. As a result, the horses were so busy eating the black beans that they completely forgot about the formation, causing chaos on the enemy's right wing.

Then they took a simple tear gas bomb filled with chili powder and blew it directly into the enemy camp with the help of the north wind. Everyone saw a blood-red color in front of their eyes and could not open their eyes no matter what.

Chu Xuan took advantage of the chaos and led his men directly into the enemy's territory, where he personally killed the Fourth Prince on the battlefield.

After this battle, Dongchen suffered heavy losses and proposed peace talks with Tianji.

But Chu Xuan refused to give up. He, Cheng Ruoxue and Wen Jie divided their troops into three groups and chased and intercepted the Dongchen army all the way. Not only did they recapture the two cities that had been lost before, they also headed straight for the Dongchen Imperial Court.

Half a month later, the soldiers of Tianji, led by Chu Xuan, successfully attacked the capital of Dongchen Kingdom and destroyed the Dongchen Kingdom, which had been eyeing them for many years.
