But right now, what's more important is that she has to get back to Nanyang Palace; her father and grandmother must be extremely worried.
Moreover, she believed that Plum Blossom Pavilion had its own treatment methods and could find good doctors.
“Brother Jinzhi, this is someone sent by Xijing, from Zuoguitang.”
After watching Zheng Ningxiang and the others leave, Yun Duoduo walked to Jin Jinzhi's side.
Jin Jinzhi nodded. He saw the marks on the necks of these people; they were from Zuo Guitang.
Zuo Guitang believes that if you offend someone you shouldn't, you'll pay the price.
A gust of wind blew by, ruffling the stray strands of hair on Jin Jin's forehead.
The wind is rising; it's time for the Zuo Guitang clan to be wiped out.
"Let's go too."
Jin Jin helped Yun Duoduo mount her horse, and he looked down at her to ask, "Are you injured?"
Yun Duoduo shook her head, gazing into his deep eyes with a sense of fascination.
"Brother Jinzhi, why are you wearing a mask?"
She had never seen him wearing a mask before. Although he was still handsome, she still wanted to see his face, not one hidden behind a mask with only his eyes and mouth showing.
Jin Jinzhi did not answer her question, but looked around and said, "Let's head back to the palace and find a cave. If it rains, we'll have somewhere to take shelter."
"Yes, Your Highness," Cao, the military advisor, and the guards behind him replied.
Jin Jinzhi surveyed her surroundings with eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
He served in the military for many years and was very experienced in setting up camp and surviving in the wild.
The group walked forward until they saw two or three small holes appear ahead.
"Let's do it here."
Jin Jin dismounted, and the others followed suit.
Seeing how skillfully he handled it, Yun Duoduo followed him up the mountain.
The two climbed up the mountain. The cave entrance was very high, with tall trees on both sides.
As soon as you enter the cave, you feel a blast of cool air.
Because of its high elevation, the cave was very dry. Jin Jinzhi found some branches and started a fire at the cave entrance.
Yun Duoduo looked around the cave, checking for any poisonous snakes or insects nearby.
This damp place is a favorite environment for insects and venomous snakes.
The fire was now lit, illuminating the cave brightly, and it was very warm to be near the flames.
Cao Canjun and his accompanying guards rested in a cave on the other side.
Jin Jinzhi found some dry grass and spread it on the ground, and Yun Duoduo sat beside him.
Yun Duoduo looked at the white-clad man sitting next to her. Although his clothes were somewhat tattered and wrinkled, he had an upright posture, a sturdy build, and looked strong and powerful.
She had been amazed by Jin Jinzhi's beauty before, but now, being in the cave with him, she still felt a little unreal.
Have you seen enough?
Yun Duoduo recovered her senses.
"Oh dear, you're bleeding!"
Yun Duoduo looked at Jin Jinzhi's shoulder and cried out in shock. His clothes below his left shoulder and above his heart were soaked with blood.
"We need to stop the bleeding quickly!"
Yun Duoduo approached Jin Jinzhi and ripped open his clothes.
Jin Jinzhi's body trembled violently, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
He took off the mask from his face.
Yun Duoduo looked up and saw his face after he took off his mask. She exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Jinzhi, your face... how did you get injured?"
On Jin Jinzhi's exceptionally handsome face, there was a scratch from an arrow, running from below his right eye to the corner of his mouth.
It was still that cold face, but his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, dark and deep, still made him incredibly handsome. However, there was now a bloodstain on his face.
A very long bloodstain.
Looking at Jin Jinzhi's face, Yun Duoduo's heart clenched, as if she could feel the excruciating pain Jin Jinzhi felt when her face was scratched.
"Does it hurt?"
Yun Duoduo gently stroked his right cheek.
Jin Jinzhi stiffened, forcing a smile: "It doesn't hurt."
Yun Duoduo panicked for a moment, unsure whether to treat her face first or her body injuries first.
"Let me apply the medicine for you."
Yun Duoduo forced herself to be rational; this was not the time to be infatuated.
She took out iodine, alcohol, gauze, and other supplies from the first-aid kit, cleaned the wound below his left shoulder, and then applied medication.
While Yun Duoduo was treating her wounds, Jin Jinzhi kept looking down at her.
It seemed that only by looking at her could I stop feeling the excruciating pain in my shoulder.
"Once the wound here is treated, don't use your left hand for the next few days. Leave everything to me."
Jin Jinzhi forced a pale smile: "I'll leave it to you?"
Yun Duoduo nodded: "Okay! Leave it to me!"
Jin Jinzhi wanted to say something more, but seeing Yun Duoduo's serious expression, she just looked at her.
"Alright, let me take a look at the wound on your face."
Yun Duoduo looked at the bloodstains on Jin Jinzhi's face: "How could you be so careless? Such a handsome face can't be ruined like this."
"Fortunately, there's no poison or infection on the wound, so it should heal relatively quickly."
Yun Duoduo found a cotton ball to clean the wound on his face, then applied medicine, and then took out a scar-fading gel and applied it to his cheek.
The gel feels cool and refreshing on the face, which is very comfortable.
Yun Duoduo was applying her makeup very carefully, completely unaware that the man in front of her was looking at her with an increasingly intense gaze.
Their faces were very close, almost touching, and Jin Jinzhi's breathing became heavy involuntarily.
When Yun Duoduo noticed Jin Jinzhi's unusual behavior, her breathing quickened and she became flustered.
Their breaths mingled together.
The ambiguous, lingering atmosphere was suffocating...
When Cao Canjun reached the cave entrance, he was about to call for water, but upon seeing the two people's situation, he was horrified and widened his eyes, covering his mouth and forcing himself not to make a sound.
He bent over and quietly, discreetly leaving.
Jin Jinzhi looked at the person in front of her.
He felt a strong desire and impulse within him; he wanted to hold Yun Duoduo in his arms and kiss her delicate red lips without hesitation.
But he held back, clenching his fists so that the veins on his forehead bulged.
Seeing his efforts to control himself, Yun Duoduo assumed that the medicine she had applied was causing him too much pain. She looked at Jin Jinzhi with heartache, then moved closer and gently blew on his wound.
"Let me blow on it for you, and it won't hurt anymore."
Jin Jinzhi's willpower completely collapsed at this moment. He lowered his head, held Yun Duoduo's head, and kissed her delicate lips.
Yun Duoduo was stunned. She stared at Jin Jinzhi with wide eyes, completely at a loss.
This was a very strange feeling, one that Yun Duoduo had never experienced before in her life.
Jin Jinzhi put his arm around Yun Duoduo's waist and pulled her towards him. Then, realizing something was wrong, he abruptly let go and pushed Yun Duoduo away from his arms.
Yun Duoduo was stunned by this series of actions. She sat there blankly, unsure how to react.
