Chapter 86 Don’t be afraid, Yue’er, I’m here
"Second Miss, follow me. There are ambushes everywhere on the main road. Let's go this way."
When Ruofeng and Su Yue were still some distance away from the foot of Yuanyin Temple, they abandoned their horses and started walking on the mountain road.
Previously, I took advantage of the enemy's inattention to snatch a horse and break out of the encirclement. Now, I can no longer take that road.
"Ruofeng, how long will it take?" Su Yue looked up at the sky, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Ruofeng was stunned. When did this Second Miss Su know her name?
"My dear Second Miss, the situation was urgent at the time. The guards in the palace tried their best to block the enemy's attack, but the Third Prince was still stabbed several times. I risked my life to take the Third Prince out through the back door of the wing."
Ruofeng paused, and glanced around with eagle-like eyes, quickly thinking of the cave where he had hidden the third prince.
"But I am incompetent. I alone cannot bring the Third Prince out safely, and the Third Prince is seriously injured. I can only ask the Second Miss to take the risk and go in."
"It doesn't matter. I'm glad you thought of me first."
Su Yue nodded slightly and saw Ruofeng waving his right hand continuously. The back of his arm was stained with blood due to the violent movement.
Finally, they stopped at the entrance of a very hidden cave.
"The third prince is inside, let's go in." Ruofeng sighed. Fortunately, he had a good sense of direction, as he almost took the wrong road several times.
"Quick, search everywhere. The Second and Third Princes have escaped. We will be embarrassed if we don't find them!"
Just as the two were about to go in, several noisy noises suddenly came from the distance. Obviously, the enemy had not left.
"Second Miss, the Third Prince is in your care. I will go and lead them away." Ruofeng's face changed, and he picked up the knife in his hand and prepared to leave.
“Here, these medicines will be useful to you, get rid of them as soon as possible and apply medicine yourself.
If you can't get rid of them, try to delay them as much as possible. My father should be here soon with reinforcements. Be careful, the Third Prince is waiting for you. ”
Su Yue gave a few instructions solemnly and handed a few packets of medicine to Ruofeng.
Ruofeng took the medicine, nodded, and the next moment rushed towards the voice.
"There's movement over there, go check it out." As Ruofeng disappeared, the enemy's excited voice was heard not far away, and then nothing could be heard.
Su Yue suppressed his worried expression, took a long breath, pushed aside the dead grass beside the cave, carefully crawled in, and then meticulously restored the weeds to their original position as much as possible.
Because it was still dark and the cave was very deep, Su Yue couldn't see clearly and could only grope forward carefully.
"Ruofeng, is that you?" A familiar male voice came from not far away, with a hint of vigilance.
"It's me, the Third Prince. How do you feel now?" Su Yue asked anxiously, not even noticing the trembling in her voice.
"Ruofeng, he said he was going to find reinforcements, but why did he bring you along? Isn't this dragging you into danger too?"
Shangguan Nanxing's angry tone was accusatory, and he even coughed a few times. Su Yue felt a lump in her throat for no reason.
She followed the sound, quickened her pace and rushed forward, but she stepped on a stone and slipped, falling to the ground.
"What's wrong with Yue'er?" Hearing the wrong voice, Shangguan Nanxing, who was sitting down to rest, stood up with difficulty and moved towards Su Yue.
"I'm fine, it's okay, you're injured, don't move, I'll be there soon."
Although Su Yue's fall was not serious, her previous foot injury was aggravated. Regardless of the piercing pain, she quickly got up and groped forward.
Just like that, Su Yue, in panic, threw herself into a warm embrace. The familiar scent filled her nose, and her face suddenly turned red.
"Yuer, are you hurt?" Shangguan Nanxing pulled Su Yue away and asked worriedly.
Because the two were very close, they could vaguely see each other's faces, but Su Yue's face was as red as a monkey's butt, so Shangguan Nanxing didn't notice it because of the darkness.
"I... I'm fine." Su Yue subconsciously patted her face. When she felt the cold hands, she calmed down a little.
"I'm glad you're okay, cough cough cough..." Shangguan Nanxing let out a long sigh and started coughing again.
"Third Prince, what's wrong with you?" Hearing Shangguan Nanxing coughing, Su Yue hurriedly went over to help him pat his back to help him breathe smoothly. However, as soon as she touched his back, she was stunned by the sticky feeling of her hands.
"I'm fine, just a minor injury." Shangguan Nanxing subconsciously dodged Su Yue's hand. The wound on his back split open when he coughed and naturally bled.
"I brought medicine, I'll help you..." Su Yue was just about to say that she would help with the medicine when she heard a man's voice coming from the direction she came from.
"There is a cave here. Let's go in and take a look. Maybe they are hiding here."
Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing's expressions changed. It seemed that this place was not safe anymore.
"Yuer, let's continue going inside. This cave seems quite long." Shangguan Nanxing took Su Yue's hand and walked inside.
Su Yue followed Shangguan Nanxing's footsteps in a daze. Her hands were cold enough, but she didn't expect that his hands were even colder than hers.
"Hurry, there is blood here, let's hurry." The enemy's surprised voice came from behind. Su Yue turned around and seemed to see a hazy firelight at the end of the long cave.
"Brother Nanxing, you..." Su Yue turned around and saw Shangguan Nanxing seemed to be taking off his clothes in the dim light. She was so shocked that she didn't even notice that she had changed her words.
"Don't panic, Yue'er. My clothes are dripping with blood. This will only expose our whereabouts." After saying that, Shangguan Nanxing threw the clothes he took off aside.
"Yuer, do you have any medicine to stop bleeding?" Shangguan Nanxing asked softly in the direction of Su Yue.
Su Yue quickly took out a few packets of medicine. Shangguan Nanxing saw it and shook his head: "Too little, let's keep this medicine until we are safe again."
After saying that, he grabbed a few handfuls of dust from the ground and rubbed it on the bleeding area. The dust directly absorbed the blood and stuck to the clothes.
"Brother Nanxing, you are crazy. Your wound..."
Su Yue was shocked. Although she knew that dust could absorb blood and thus temporarily stop the bleeding, it was not conducive to the healing of the wound.
"Yuer, there is no other way. The situation is urgent and we don't have time. Come with me."
Then Shangguan Nanxing wrung his clothes hard again, and a lot of blood came out as he squeezed hard. Then he pulled Su Yue and continued to rush into the cave.
"The bloodstains have disappeared here, and there are clothes left. He must have heard our conversation. Let's chase him. He's not far away!"
Hearing a voice behind him, Su Yue felt flustered.
"Don't be afraid, Yue'er, I'm here." Shangguan Nanxing felt the softness in his hand trembling, and he held it tightly and comforted her.
