Chapter 362 Marry Me
Before he fainted completely, Yun Chen seemed to see Yan Shijiu.
So in the following strange dreams, she kept dreaming of him.
She then fell into a state of half-sleep, somewhat conscious but not much.
She felt someone pick her up and lie down with her in a large pool filled with snow.
A pair of strong arms wrapped around her from behind, his hot and strong chest pressed against her naked skin, and he used snow to wipe away the blood on her body bit by bit.
From snow to cold water, and then from cold water to warm water.
The sound of breathing, neither light nor heavy, kept lingering in her ears, carefully and gently brushing every inch of her skin, until she fell into a deep sleep, without even the energy to dream.
Slept for a very long time.
When she woke up again, looking at the strange, exotic and gorgeous decorations in front of her, she knew she was still in Luojiang.
The place where she lived was not a tent, but a sturdy and tall house, which proved that she was not in a tribe, but probably in the royal court.
She was not sure if what she saw before she fell into coma was an illusion. Was it Yan Shijiu who saved her?
If so, why was he fine and brought people to rescue her, but the princess was tortured into that inhuman state?
She looked at the bandages all over her body, which showed traces of herbal remedies. Her clothes were also changed from inside to outside, new and thick.
If it wasn’t Yan Shijiu, then who was it?
A Luojiang native? Impossible. Not killing her, a general from the enemy nation, was already a blessing. Why would they even help her heal?
She sat up with a lot of questions in her mind and took difficult steps. Every time she moved, the frostbitten parts of her body felt burning.
She pushed open the door and came face to face with a big, bearded man.
The other party was obviously very surprised that she woke up so quickly. He hurriedly greeted others in Luojiang language, then drew his sword but did not unsheathe it, and politely asked her to step back.
After living in the Luojiang tribe for more than a month, Yun Chen understood a little bit of Luojiang language.
She knew that the other party was ordering her to go back and lie down and not come out, which meant that she was under house arrest.
She looked around and saw nothing except a large bed covered with thick wolf skin.
There wasn't even a table or chair. The kettle, cups, and plates of snacks were all made of wood and placed directly on the ground. It was obvious that they were there to prevent her from getting any weapons or opportunities to resist.
Since the enemy was defending so tightly, and she was severely frostbitten and couldn't fight or run away for a while, she simply sat cross-legged on the ground, picked up some snacks and started eating and drinking.
After a while, when King Luo Jiang walked in, Yun Chen had already finished a plate of snacks. He was holding the kettle and drinking from it without any sign of vigilance.
"What a good saying 'Now that we are here, we should make the best of it'." A very standard Nan Mandarin sentence.
Yun Chen raised his eyes, raised them a little, and then raised them a little more——
The man was in his thirties and very tall, taller than any Luojiang man she had ever seen. He stood there like a tower.
The guard with a beard and a round face was already strong enough, but now he looks like a thin dog.
King Luojiang had a dignified demeanor, a square mouth and a wide nose, eyes like torches, broad shoulders and a thick waist. He wore a gorgeous crown and had two long braids, which were unique to ethnic minorities.
In just one glance, Yun Chen had taken a look at King Luo Jiang's whole body and saw that he was a martial artist, and a powerful one at that. He rehearsed a complete set of offensive combos in his mind.
When two martial artists meet, both sides can see at a glance what the other is thinking and what is in their eyes.
King Luo Jiang found it a little funny: "I don't hit women, you won't have the chance to fight me, don't even think about it."
The words were spoken in a very casual manner, without any of the condescending airs of a monarch.
Yun Chen stood up and wanted to casually brush off the snack crumbs on his body, acting like a polite Nan countryman, but he forgot that he was frostbitten all over. He slapped himself twice and grimaced, losing all his demeanor and almost crying in pain.
She forced herself to stand up. "You don't hit women? Why? Are you afraid of being beaten down by a woman and being embarrassed?"
"Hahahahahahahaha——" King Luo Jiang threw his head back and laughed. It was obvious that he really found it funny and was not just being perfunctory.
He dismissed the vigilant guards on both sides, took a step forward, and looked down at Yun Chen.
Before coming, he really couldn't imagine what kind of female general from the Nan Kingdom could be so powerful that she could enter and leave the royal court three times, causing the soldiers returning from the battle to talk about it like crazy.
He felt that it was just a bluff by the cunning Nan people.
But now, looking at the woman in front of him who was only as tall as his chest, as thin as a bird, but full of fearlessness.
Although there was no calculation in those beautiful eyes, they were full of bright fireworks.
Looking at Yun Chen at this moment, King Luo Jiang immediately believed what the soldiers said:
There is a fierce tiger in the army of the Nan Kingdom. Killing the enemy leader is as easy as cutting weeds. No one can resist it.
King Luo Jiang smiled and said, "You are very interesting. I like you."
Yun Chen waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to use this trick.
"Tell me, do you want to torture me for military secrets, or use me as a hostage? Or simply put, if there's nothing else to do, take my life! But before that, I want to see Yan Shijiu."
King Luo Jiang was a little confused, obviously he had never heard of Yan Shijiu's name.
He ordered his attendants to immediately find out if there was a person named Yan Shijiu among the remaining captives from the Nan Kingdom.
Yun Chen understood in his heart that it was an illusion before he almost froze to death, and it was not Yan Shijiu. However, he still held on to the last bit of hope and asked:
"You saved me?"
King Luo Jiang thought to himself, it was Touman’s patrol team who discovered you and gave you to me as a trophy. I didn’t kill you, but instead asked someone to bandage you. It must be considered that I saved you.
King Luo Jiang nodded in agreement, and the last bit of fantasy in Yun Chen's heart was shattered.
Recalling how Nan Lijun looked when he was rescued, Yan Shijiu was probably not in a much better condition either, and it was uncertain whether he was still alive.
Combined with the attitude of the Luojiang people towards Nan Lijun, she expected that she, a person whose status was ten thousand times lower than Nan Lijun, would not have a good ending.
Thinking that it was only a matter of life and a man, a woman would rather die than betray her country, Yun Chen stood with her hands on her hips, raised her head and tilted her white neck, and said very heroically:
"Come on, give me a quick one, and I'll remember your kindness in the underworld, stupid bear!"
King Luo Jiang was obviously unhappy, but not because of Yun Chen's attitude, but because she pronounced his name wrong.
The palace attendant beside him sternly rebuked him, saying in unfamiliar Nan dialect:
"This is the son of our Lord Tian, the Lord of the Grasslands, and the king of the great Luojiang Khanate—Xiongdun Chanyu!"
Yun Chen nodded: "I understand. I am Yun Chen, not a 'king' or a 'son', but General Xuanwei of the Lion Might Army!"
Luojiang King Xiong Dun nodded in satisfaction. His next words froze Yun Chen in place, shaking him so much that half of his soul flew away:
"General Yunchen, you are very good, marry me!"
