C88 My Life Is Hanging by a Thread

"Where have you been?" Ouyang Lingfeng was not happy to see Lan Hong coming back. "Didn't we agree that we men would take turns keeping watch?"

"Ha, when we were having dinner, we seemed to have heard a few wolf howls in the valley. I was just curious to see if I could meet a real wolf!" Lan Hong smiled.

"Are you crazy? ___ asked. Normal people look at a wolf and don't even have time to hide. Why did you send yourself to the door?"

"Then I deliberately went to look for the wolf. I didn't find it. Is it good luck or bad luck?"

Ouyang Lingfeng threw another piece of wood into the fire. The fire became more and more intense.

"Then why aren't you sleeping?" Lan Hong raised his head and drank a mouthful of water.

"With your appearance, I am not at ease. I will continue to guard." Ouyang Lingfeng's eyes locked onto Lan Hong. He could not believe that he was just looking for a wolf.

"Why are you here too?" Actually, Ouyang Lingfeng wasn't surprised at all when he saw Duan Shuang.

"I can't sleep. Let's watch the night together."

The fire flickered and danced, making people feel sleepy. However, the three men seemed to be getting more energetic.

The next morning, Shihan woke up the earliest.

When Shihan was together, she remembered that she was knocked out by Ouyang Lingfeng for no reason last night.

Shihan immediately went out of the tent and saw Bai Lan quietly packing his things. Ouyang Lingfeng, on the other hand, fell asleep beside the fire.

Shihan walked to Ouyang Lingfeng's side and picked up the leather bag that was full of leather and water. She directly poured it on Ouyang Lingfeng's head.

Ouyang Lingfeng was immediately awakened. Seeing that it was Shihan, he muttered, "Don't mess around. I just changed shifts and slept early in the morning. Let me rest again."

"I'll let you sleep!" Seeing that even water could not wake him up, Shihan immediately gave him a kick. "I told you to sneak attack me last night!"

Ouyang Lingfeng did not respond. Shihan continued to kick him a few more times.

Ouyang Lingfeng immediately bounced up. He wrapped one arm around Shihan and directly hugged her and lied down again. "Let me rest for a while." After saying that, he seemed to immediately fall asleep again.

Duan Shihan was just about to flare up when she looked up and saw the dark green in Ouyang Lingfeng's eyes. She could not bear it anymore.

After Shihan broke free of Ouyang Lingfeng, she stood up and said quietly, "When you wake up, I will settle the score with you!"

Jiegeng was also woken up by the commotion outside. She rubbed her eyes and slowly poked her head out of the tent. The morning sun shone and Jiegeng slowly opened her eyes.

She walked out of the tent unsteadily but was still slowly regaining consciousness.

"Why are you all so early?" Bai Lan looked at his sister's lazy look and could not help but laugh.

"The three of them stayed together all night last night. They will probably leave late this morning. If you still feel sleepy, then go back and take a nap. " Bai Lan gently said to Jiegeng.

Actually, to the three of them who practiced martial arts, staying up for one night was nothing. But after all, when they were outside, they did not know what kind of accident would happen next. It was necessary to rest for a while.

"Didn't we agree to take turns? Why would we guard together?" Jiegeng tilted her head.

Bai Lan could only respond with a smile and did not say anything.

Duan Shihan heard this and only looked at Lan Hong.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I still want to have some millet left. I can make some porridge and wait for them to wake up to eat." Jiegeng used water to pat her face.

Wang Zhi'er also got up.

When Bai Lan saw her, he started to dodge. Wang Zhi'er could only walk to Jiegeng, "Do you need my help?"

Jiegeng looked at her brother's predicament and said to Wang Zhi'er, "Let's go and get some fresh water."

Wang Zhi'er nodded.

Seeing Wang Zhi'er leave, Bai Lan finally became normal.

"Brother Bai, do you need to do this?" Shihan's personality of being afraid that the world would not be chaotic started again. "I think that Wang Zhi'er is also quite good. After all, she did not even bother to work hard. She said goodbye to her hometown and chased you all the way here. If you do not have a woman you like, why don't you try it with Zhi'er?"

" Princess, why don't you change your profession and become a Red Mother? "

"That's a good suggestion!" Shihan laughed.

After everyone had finished breakfast and packed their things, the team finally set off again. The only difference was that there was an additional yellow-clothed woman in the carriage.

"After passing through the Three Desolates intersection, we'll be able to return to the correct path." Duan Shuang spoke from the front.

At this time, Ouyang Lingfeng's horse suddenly approached Duan Shuang.

"You noticed it too?" Before Ouyang Lingfeng could say anything, Duan Shuang asked him back.

Ouyang Lingfeng nodded. "Was it normal here yesterday?"

"There was nothing unusual yesterday. Be careful."

"If it really doesn't work, should we retreat?"

"It's too late. Since we started moving, there have been unusual movements in the rear. If we return now, then we'll probably be surrounded." Duan Shuang's expression became more and more solemn.

"We can only move forward now."

Bai Lan also turned his head and nodded at Duan Shuang and Ouyang Lingfeng. The three of them retreated to the carriage.

"Young envoy, they are coming in." The report from the front reported immediately.

"Alright." Qin Qing's eyes kept staring at the position in front of her.

When Qin Qing saw that Duan Shuang and his group had indeed entered the encirclement point, she immediately ordered, "Move!"

More than a dozen men in black descended from the sky and surrounded Duan Shuang and his group.

Without giving them any time to react, the men in black started to attack. At this moment, all of them drew their swords and began to tangle with each other.

In the middle of the fierce battle, they thought of ways to kill their way out of the bloody path in the middle that could allow the carriage to move forward. They originally wanted to use this to cover the carriage and leave first, but an entire row of bamboo rows that were pieced together directly pushed out from the back. It directly lifted the roof of the carriage.

Shihan and Wang Zhi'er who were in the carriage did not hesitate and immediately rolled down the running carriage with Jiegeng. Sure enough, the next step of the carriage was to be destroyed by another sharp beak bamboo raft.

The assassins hiding on both sides of the road also appeared at this moment and directly rushed towards Jiegeng.

Shihan and Wang Zhi'er lured away a portion of the assassins. Even with Qi and Yue's protection, the other side had a large number of people and Jiegeng could not help but be isolated.

Jiegeng immediately took out the needle that she carried with her and quickly and accurately shot towards the enemies that attacked her.

A few days ago, Duan Shuang had told her that the tail of these needles were all equipped with golden silkworm threads. With a slight pull, the needles could be returned to her hands.

Although she had the support of a weapon, Jiegeng's speed was still too slow. She was exhausted to deal with well-trained killers.

At this time, Qin Qing also appeared. Her direct target was Jiegeng.

Just as Qin Qing was about to approach Jiegeng, Duan Shuang suddenly came to Jiegeng's side and blocked Qin Qing's attack.

Qin Qing knew that she was not Duan Shuang's match and immediately called over more subordinates to fight Duan Shuang.

Jiegeng was not idle either. She directly aimed at Qin Qing and fired the needles.

Unfortunately, they were all taken down by Qin Qing one by one.

Just as Duan Shuang and the new killer were engaged in a fierce fight, Qin Qing waved the sword in her hand and stabbed towards Jiegeng's collarbone.

Duan Shuang immediately reacted, but after dealing with the assassin in his hand, it was already too late for him to remove Qin Qing's sharp sword. With a leap, Qin Qing's sword stabbed into her chest.

Just as Qin Qing was stunned, Duan Shuang used his inner energy to push Qin Qing away.

Qin Qing's hand immediately separated from her sword and flew backwards, landing on the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Duan Shuang immediately pulled out the long sword in his chest and jumped onto a horse. He quickly pulled Jiegeng onto the horse and rode the horse away.

Duan Shuang held Jiegeng's hands tightly around his waist and tried his best to drive the horse. Even though there were some small fries blocking the way, they were quickly killed by Duan Shuang with one sword.

On the other hand, many of the remaining men in black gave up on attacking after Jiegeng and Duan Shuang left. Only the killers who were fighting Shihan were left. Each of them was filled with killing intent.

Originally, Lan Hong, Ouyang Lingfeng, Bai Lan and the others wanted to chase after them immediately. When they saw Shihan's current condition, they couldn't help but go and help her.

After Qin Qing was injured by Duan Shuang, she retreated from the battlefield. Apart from sending a team to surround Duan Shuang and the others, all of her attention was focused on Shihan.

Suddenly, Qin Qing seemed to feel the coldness that Mistress shot at her. Qin Qing gritted her teeth and still did not give the order to retreat.

At this time, the dart directly shot towards Qin Qing's shoulder. After Qin Qing was shot, she could not give the order, "Retreat!"

Everyone quickly retreated, leaving only a mess.

"Shihan, how are you? Are you hurt?" Ouyang Lingfeng immediately hugged Shihan nervously.

"I'm fine!" Shihan did not push him away.

When the men in black were no longer entangled with him, Bai Lan immediately mounted his horse and followed the direction where Duan Shuang and Jiegeng had disappeared to.

Only then did Lan Hong and the others put down their swords.

After a long while, Bai Lan returned in disappointment.

"I didn't find it." Bai Lan looked disappointed and anxious at the same time.

"Thank you for just now." Bai Lan thanked Wang Zhi'er softly when he saw her.

Wang Zhi'er only shook her head gently.

"It is definitely not possible to wait here." Ouyang Lingfeng said. "Let's go to the Central Prefecture first. If they are out of danger... ___ said. Besides, when we go to the Central Region, it will be convenient for us to look for people from the government. "

Everyone agreed with this suggestion.

Duan Shuang and Jiegeng ran for a long time before they finally got rid of the hunting team behind them.

At this time, the horses suddenly fell because they had been running non-stop for a few hours.

Before falling off the horses, Duan Shuang first grabbed Jiegeng and put her in his arms before rolling onto the grass.

Although Duan Shuang had been hit by Qin Qing's sword just now, Qin Qing did not kill Jiegeng originally. In addition, Duan Shuang suddenly stabbed the sword from the side to block it. As a result... A lot of the force was reduced. Therefore, the sword attack just now was merely a small flesh wound to Duan Shuang. It did not even harm his skin.

On the other hand, Jiegeng had not made a sound since the middle of the process. Duan Shuang had been focusing on dealing with the assassins who had caught up with him and hadn't paid attention to them. Now, he felt that something was wrong.

"Jiegeng? Jiegeng!" Duan Shuang gently shook Jiegeng. Jiegeng then slowly opened her eyes, but she looked listless.

"Don't pretend anymore?" Since Jiegeng had learned to play tricks on horses, Duan Shuang thought Jiegeng was being mischievous again.

"Your Royal Highness." Jiegeng's voice was very weak. She had only said one sentence when Jiegeng tightly furrowed her brows. "Mine, my back hurts."

"Back?" Duan Shuang reached out his hand and found that the palm he had placed on Jiegeng's back was full of blood.

Duan Shuang immediately leaned to the side of Jiegeng's body and found that there was a sword mark on her back.

"Was it hit on the horse just now?" Duan Shuang's heartache was self-evident.

Jiegeng did not even want to say anything at this moment. She just nodded slightly.

"Why didn't you say anything when you were injured?" Duan Shuang scolded her in pain. He took off his coat and used it to temporarily stop the bleeding in Jiegeng's wound. He also temporarily sealed the meridians in Jiegeng's back.

He wanted to immediately take Jiegeng to the city to find a doctor, but seeing the horse foaming at the mouth, Duan Shuang punched the stone beside him.

"What's wrong?" Jiegeng narrowed her eyes and looked at Duan Shuang.

"Nothing. I will take you to see a doctor first." Duan Shuang immediately carried Jiegeng on his back. He wanted to use his Light-body Technique to rush to Central State, but after fighting for almost a whole day, he could not even lift up the inner energy in his body.

Jiegeng laid on Duan Shuang's back and said weakly, "Are you going to carry me over? I remember that when you rode your horse earlier, you did not go to the Central Prefecture. Originally, there was still half a day's journey to ride a horse, but now it was a few more hours. Can you reach there?"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring you there." The more anxious Duan Shuang was, the less words he would say.

Jiegeng only felt the pain on her back and also a little itchy.

Due to the discomfort on her back, Jiegeng hugged Duan Shuang's neck even more tightly and her head powerlessly leaned on Duan Shuang's shoulder.

"Jiegeng, are you very cold now?" Duan Shuang noticed Jiegeng's hands were getting colder and colder.

"Jiegeng?" Duan Shuang called again, but Jiegeng still did not respond.

Duan Shuang was so scared that he immediately stopped. He gently put Jiegeng down and touched Jiegeng's neck. He felt her pulse and then let out a sigh of relief.

Duan Shuang immediately grabbed Jiegeng's hand again. The cold feeling made Duan Shuang's heart raise again.

"Jiegeng, Jiegeng, wake up." Duan Shuang took off his shirt again and covered Jiegeng's body.

Jiegeng slowly opened her eyes and pushed the clothes on her face away. "I'm hot."

"Be good, don't use your temper anymore." Duan Shuang patiently covered Jiegeng with his clothes again.

Jiegeng pulled her hands and knocked the clothes off again.

This time, Jiegeng learned her lesson. She directly pressed Duan Shuang's hand and did not let him move again.

Compared to Jiegeng, how could she have any strength now? Duan Shuang felt that it was just a light touch. Even so, Duan Shuang did not want to go against Jiegeng's wishes anymore.

"But your hand is so cold. Other than your back feeling uncomfortable, is there any other discomfort?" Duan Shuang held Jiegeng's cold hands with one hand and used the other to stroke Jiegeng's hair that was in front of her forehead.

"Your Royal Highness, am I going to die?" Jiegeng asked weakly.

"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Otherwise, how could Your Highness be so good? In the past, even if you cared about me, you wouldn't have said it out loud like this today, right?" Jiegeng smiled helplessly.

"So, this is the last gift from His Highness, right?"

Duan Shuang was about to say something when Jiegeng immediately used her hand to seal his mouth. Because she moved too fast, she directly pulled the wound on her back. It hurt so much that Jiegeng immediately made a hissing sound.

"Your Royal Highness, the only thing I regret right now is that I am unable to determine your heart." After the pain was alleviated, Jiegeng continued to speak.

"Don't say anymore. We will talk about it after you have recovered." Duan Shuang saw Jiegeng's tired look and could not help but stop her.

"No, I must say it all today." Jiegeng's eyes were misty with tears. "I'm afraid that if I don't say it again, I won't have the chance."

"I won't allow you to say such depressing words!" Duan Shuang immediately carried Jiegeng on his back and quickened his pace.

"Your Royal Highness, I really like you." Jiegeng lay on Duan Shuang's back and continued to mutter to herself.

"I also don't know when it started."

"Maybe it is the first time I rode a horse with you."

"Maybe it was when you saved me in the military camp"

"Maybe it was when I saved you"

At this point, Jiegeng's tears fell on Duan Shuang's shoulders one after another.
