Chapter 65: Making it clear A critical moment
.
Xie Sui sat in the carriage holding Wu Chun, Li Chang led a group of guards to get out of the carriage to hunt and kill. Swords flashed and arrows flew like meteors. There were several wolves howling and screaming.
The guards formed a circle outside the carriage. After a while, they killed two wolves, but this was not the end.
More wolves slowly emerged from the darkness, one, five, seven... There was actually a pack of wolves lurking in the dark!
Wu Chun pinched Xie Sui's sleeves tighter with his fingertips.
Xie Sui narrowed his eyes slightly, his sight wandering over the wolf pack, and whispered in Wu Chun's ear: "Don't be afraid, it's not that there is no countermeasure. This wolf is afraid of fire, and its weakness is in the eyes." He raised his voice and said to Li Chang: "Rocket, eyes!"
Li Chang understood instantly, escorted the princess back to the palace, and made full preparations. With a command, the arrow flew out of the bow as the wolf pack flew over. The saltpeter powder on the arrow head ignited in the air, and the sparks spread like flowers, piercing straight into a wolf's eye!
The wolf was enraged and howled, and the wolf pack attacked even more fiercely. For a while, there was a melee between humans and wolves, and sparks and blood splashed everywhere!
Wu Chun peeked out from under the cover of Xie Sui's sleeves. Her eyes were full of flames. She had to squint. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and gently pulled his collar, "Xie Sui."
"Yeah." Xie Sui lowered his head. His lips had turned pale as paper without knowing when. "Don't be afraid."
She even felt his body trembling.
He was afraid of fire.
After Xie Sui comforted her, his eyes were fixed on the outside again.
A black shadow passed by and jumped nimbly in the gap of the firelight. It was in the direction of their carriage!
Xie Sui's eyes turned cold, like jade washed by water. He made a decision in an instant and jumped off the carriage with Wu Chun in his arms. Just as the golden boots stepped on the ground, the black wolf rushed into the carriage, biting the wooden board with its fangs, splashing wood chips.
The sawdust fell on Xie Sui's sleeve and was bounced away.
Xie Sui put down his hand, took out the dagger from his sleeve, looked into the wolf's scarlet greedy eyes, and said to Wu Chun: "Don't move around casually. If I fail to protect you well and a wolf attacks you, use your poison powder."
Wu Chun always carries poison powder with her. She nodded.
Xie Sui fought with the wolf.
Wu Chun's heart beat rapidly, her lungs felt cold, and she dared not blink. She didn't want Xie Sui to get into trouble, both from the perspective of the relationship between the two countries and from a personal perspective. Even
if she didn't like him, she didn't want him to get hurt. As
she was thinking this in her heart, a wolf pounced on her from behind!
Wu Chun threw poison powder with her backhand, and the wolf was slowed down for a moment. It whimpered in pain and anger, stared at Wu Chun fiercely, and rushed towards her. Wu Chun picked up the fallen wooden planks from the carriage to block it. The extremely sharp fangs pierced through the wooden planks and knocked Wu Chun down, only a few centimeters away from her neck!
Everything stopped.
The only thing in the world was the fangs that magnified and slowed down in front of her.
In fact, she had some regrets in her life. After all, she did not live longer than her previous life, and she did not realize the free life of traveling between mountains and rivers. The only satisfaction is that she doesn't hate Xie Sui so much, and doesn't have to die with hatred. She also killed Shen Heng, overthrew the Yue clan, and avenged herself and her relatives in the previous life...
"Puff."
What came before the fangs was the warmth in front of her eyes. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you
. The wolf's blood splashed all over her eyes.
She closed her eyes, and it was dark. She was lifted up by the shoulders and held in her arms. She rolled on the ground for several circles, and the world was spinning.
Her eyes were sore and she couldn't open them.
But she thought she didn't have to open them.
The embrace that held her was too familiar.
"We are in the grass now. There are no wolves here. The people in southern Xinjiang have almost killed all the wolves. We just need to wait a little longer." His breathing was rapid and he was sweating. It seemed that the heat was blowing on his face through the fabric. He leaned sideways to hold her so that he could observe the situation outside the grass.
A drop of sweat mixed with blood rolled down from Xie Sui's Adam's apple and dripped onto Wu Chun's face.
Wu Chun tried to blink, and in the faint scarlet vision, she could see a bloody hole on Xie Sui's shoulder. The dark red blood was slowly seeping through his clothes.
She couldn't help but curl up, perhaps because she was still frightened, or perhaps because she was disturbed by his shocking wound.
"Clean up the mess, count the bodies! The wounded go to the last carriage to get medicine..." Li Chang's voice came faintly.
"Let's go." Xie Sui stood up with Wu Chun. Their carriage was no longer usable. 40% of the carriages in the group were broken. They couldn't squeeze in, so they could only stop temporarily to rest and repair the carriages. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you.
Wu Chun and Xie Sui settled down in a cave not far away, and there were soldiers guarding outside.
The cave was dark, and a fire was lit. The shadows of the two people danced on the stone wall, like lingering wind.
The straw under Wu Chun was laid by the soldiers. Xie Sui took a look, frowned, took off her coat, folded it up, and laid another layer of straw, so that his blood would not get on her and she could sit more comfortably.
"Xie Sui..."
"Hmm?" He looked down at her.
Wu Chun hooked his belt, but he grabbed her hand. She raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes dark as the abyss, "What?"

. He was obviously injured, and she wanted to check his injuries, but his grip made it seem like she was going to do something.
Fingers pulled out from his sweaty palm in a panic. "Let me see your wound."
Xie Sui said nothing, brushed her hand away, and scanned Wu Chun's body first. Seeing that she was not injured, he asked the people outside to bring clean water and cloth so that she could wash her eyes. It was not until there was no blood on her face and hands, and she was as white as snow, that he felt his pain.
Xie Sui looked at her shoulder, unbuttoned her clothes, and revealed the bloodstains on her upper body.
The blood and flesh were messy. Wu Chun called for medicine. Someone wanted to help Xie Sui apply medicine, but Wu Chun refused and asked him to be responsible for the placement of the injured, and he applied medicine to Xie Sui himself.
It should be to save her from the wolf bite. If it is not treated in time, it may become inflamed and infected.
Wu Chun's technique was swift, and she treated his wounds thoroughly in a few strokes. While she was doing it, Xie Sui kept staring at her.
She looked worried, her eyes anxious, and she was very serious about her work, so she didn't notice his gaze, and her cold fingers gently stroked his body.
Itchy.
His Adam's apple moved a few times, and he looked away.
Wu Chun heaved a sigh of relief after packing up.
Xie Sui asked, "Are you worried about me?"
He thought she would say something like "not at all, just to repay the life-saving favor" to distance herself from him, but she didn't.
She said, "It would be a bit self-deception to say I'm not worried, but... I'm worried about you, not because I like you so much."
This was actually expected.
Xie Sui smiled self-deprecatingly, "You were frightened, go to bed early tonight."
He planned to sleep against the stone wall, and she lay down too. The cave was quiet for a while, and only the sparks and his heavy breathing could be heard.
"Xie Sui!" Wu Chun suddenly called him loudly.
There were little sparks reflected in her eyes, jumping in her eyes like stars falling into the world. She looked at him seriously, "You came thousands of miles to southern Xinjiang to fight against the Xiyou people, and used your body to protect me from the wolf attack. If I didn't mean much to you, you wouldn't do such a thing. We have known each other in two lifetimes, and I understand you."
Wu Chun took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and his words trembled slightly, "Let me ask you, how much do you love me?"
Xie Sui's heartbeat paused for a second.
