She endured the pain and continued running forward, trying to find Qi Guze.
However, her actions had already attracted the attention of the guards, who quickly gave chase in Xu Yuehuai's direction.
Who is it?
"How dare you trespass into the General's Mansion!"
Just as Xu Yuehuai was about to be caught up by the guards, a figure rushed out from the shadows—it was Qi Guze.
Xu Yuehuai thought it was an enemy and was about to fight back when she saw that familiar face, so she immediately put away her weapon.
How did you know I was here?
"Come with me!"
Qi Guze didn't answer. He grabbed Xu Yuehuai and led her into his courtyard. Once inside, Qi Guze quickly closed the doors and windows.
Seeing the wounds on Xu Yuehuai's body, Qi Guze felt particularly distressed and guilty.
He immediately took out his first-aid kit and bandaged Xu Yuehuai's wound.
His movements were gentle yet swift, his eyes filled with worry and concern. As he bandaged the wound, he scolded, "How could you be so careless? Why did you come to such a dangerous place?"
Xu Yuehuai looked at him, gently took his hand, and said, "Aze, I thought you had gotten into trouble like last time. I was so worried about you! Of course, I wanted to see you as soon as possible and check on you!"
"What exactly happened back then?"
"And who is that woman next to you?"
Qi Guze looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He sighed and said, "You know, some things aren't as simple as you think."
Xu Yuehua nodded, her eyes gleaming with determination. She said, "Whatever the truth behind it, I want to know."
Qi Guze looked at her, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. He said, "Alright, then I'll tell you!"
In the dimly lit room, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze sat side by side, and they began to discuss the hidden truths.
Every word and every sentence is full of profound meaning, as if revealing a huge mystery.
Qi Guze's eyes were filled with seriousness and depth as he explained every detail and every clue in detail.
Xu Yuehuai listened intently, her eyes sparkling with wisdom. She nodded occasionally and frowned sometimes, as if digesting the information.
The details of the battle were analyzed one by one, and every action and every decision was re-examined. Qi Guze described the scene in detail, his expression tense and focused, as if he had returned to that fierce battle.
Xu Yuehua listened attentively, her heart filled with shock and admiration. She saw Qi Guze's courage and wisdom, as well as his sense of responsibility and commitment.
It turns out that Qi Guze was secretly captured by the people of Dongsang Kingdom while trying to save the people who were controlled by an evil organization.
The woman was Song Luo, the surviving daughter of Emperor Song, and one of the people who captured him!
Tie Xiong and the others were taken away together, and their whereabouts are now unknown!
...
The conversation echoed in the silence, Xu Yuehuai's brows furrowed, her eyes filled with doubt and worry.
Qi Guze, on the other hand, appeared calm and composed, his gaze deep and penetrating, as if he could see through everything.
"Didn't Dong Sang intend to get along with our Great Zhou? Why did they suddenly attack you?" Xu Yuehuai's voice was filled with confusion and anger.
Qi Guze shook his head slightly, his voice calm and firm: "I suspect it is related to the prophecy made by the Grand Preceptor of Wuling Kingdom."
Xu Yuehuai was taken aback, the mysterious figure and the unsettling prophecy flashing through her mind.
Is it possible that someone doesn't want the war to end and wants to use this prophecy for something else?
As the two were deep in thought, a guard's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Lord Qi, have you seen someone break in here?"
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai exchanged a glance, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes.
Xu Yuehuai then hid in the cabinet next to her and concealed herself.
Qi Guze quickly walked to the door, and as he opened it, his hand reached for the sword at his waist.
The figure of the guard appeared outside the door, his face full of tension: "Lord Qi, someone has just broken into our general's mansion. We suspect he is a spy sent by the enemy country. I wonder if you have seen his whereabouts?"
Qi Guze's brows were furrowed, and his gaze was piercing, as if it could see through all darkness.
He quickly glanced around and said coldly, "No one has broken in here. Go look elsewhere!" His voice was firm and unwavering.
The guards exchanged glances, their hearts filled with doubt, yet they dared not disobey.
They carefully inspected Qi Guze's house, and after confirming that no one was hiding there, they had no choice but to retreat. Their footsteps faded into the quiet night, eventually disappearing into the darkness…
Qi Guze's tense nerves finally relaxed. He quickly closed the door and turned to walk back inside.
Xu Yuehuai slowly walked out of the cabinet. Her face was a little pale, but her eyes shone with a calm light.
She walked to Qi Guze's side and said softly, "Thank you for risking your life to help me."
Qi Guze looked at her, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
He reached out and took her hand, saying in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I'll find a chance to secretly take you away from here." His voice was firm and powerful, as if it were a promise to Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai looked at him gratefully, tears welling in her eyes. She knew that Qi Guze didn't want her to be in danger, which was why he wanted to get her away as soon as possible.
With Qi Guze temporarily trapped in this lifeless crisis, she could secretly investigate Song Luo's true motives and the whereabouts of Tie Xiong and the others.
The two exchanged a smile and tacitly returned to bed to rest.
However, Xu Yuehuai's wound began to ache in the middle of the night. She frowned slightly, trying her best not to make a sound.
Qi Guze noticed her unusual behavior and immediately woke up, asking with concern, "What's wrong? Is your wound hurting again?"
Xu Yuehua nodded and said softly, "It's okay, just bear with it and it will pass."
Seeing her pained expression, Qi Guze felt a pang of pity. He gently pressed his hand against her wound and began to channel his inner energy into her.
His internal energy flowed continuously into Xu Yuehuai's body, warm and powerful. Xu Yuehuai felt a warm current flowing through her body, and the pain gradually lessened.
She looked at Qi Guze tenderly, her eyes filled with gratitude and respect.
"What would you do if you encountered danger without internal energy protecting you?"
Qi Guze smiled slightly and said softly, "It's alright, you are my wife, it's enough for me to protect you." His eyes were full of love and care, as if he were guarding his most precious treasure.
"Aze, you're so kind!"
She hugged him, determined to find rescue quickly and leave Dongsang Kingdom with him.
