C89 The Bond Between the Two Ends

Hearing Jiegeng's words, Duan Shuang's footsteps became faster and faster. Even if he could not use his inner energy, Duan Shuang still used his full strength to run.

"Your Royal Highness, this might be the last time I ask you." Jiegeng said until here and paused.

"Ever since we met, have you ever liked me?" Jiegeng quietly waited for Duan Shuang's answer. No matter what his answer was, Jiegeng felt that she could not leave any regrets.

Unfortunately, she could not wait for Duan Shuang's reply.

"Not even for a moment?" Jiegeng actually smiled at this moment.

"Then why do you have to be so good to me sometimes?" Jiegeng's smile still did not fade. Instead, she felt that it was becoming more and more brilliant.

"Accept me from time to time."

"You will also give me something that I like."

"When I am in danger, you will save me regardless of your own safety." At this point, Jiegeng could no longer laugh.

"Since you don't like me, why did you do these things that made me misunderstand you?"

"Your Royal Highness, you are too bad." Jiegeng began to sob. Her crying sounded very helpless.

"Silly. I, Duan Shuang, never do unnecessary things." Duan Shuang stopped walking.

"Do you have to make some things so clear?" Duan Shuang sneered. He did not know whether this smile was for Jiegeng or for himself.

"I don't understand. If you don't make it clear, I really don't understand!" Jiegeng choked and said with difficulty.

"Silly girl, I like you."

After Jiegeng heard this reply, it was indeed quiet for a few seconds, but then, she cried even harder.

"I know, this must be the Royal Highness comforting me." Jiegeng started to cry. "It seems like I am really going to die."

"Silly girl, I am not a kind person. I will not use this kind of promise to comfort people."

"I'm not an idle person. I won't pay attention to someone for no reason."

"I'm not a considerate person either, so I won't casually care about a person."

"I'm used to seeing life and death on the battlefield. I won't indulge you in all kinds of ways just because you saved me."

"The jade pendant I gave you back then was indeed just to settle things with you. But later on, this jade pendant still remained with you. It was only because of my own selfishness. "

" I hope that I still have some sort of connection with you. "

"Perhaps from that moment on, I have already started to be tempted."

Jiegeng had been listening quietly, her tears silently flowing.

"Then why did you deny it again and again?" Jiegeng took a sip of her nose.

"It's just that you were kept in the dark and did not know what to do. You even seemed to be jealous for some reason. You are very cute." Duan Shuang doted on her.

Also, it was because he never dared to admit it. That was all.

He didn't dare to admit it. One day, he, Duan Shuang, was also influenced by his feelings.

"You big bad guy!" After Jiegeng finished scolding him, she even directly bit his shoulder.

After letting go, Jiegeng started to cry again. It was a kind of relief crying.

"Alright, stop crying." Duan Shuang's heart ached. "You cried so hard. Doesn't your wound hurt?"

"It hurts!" Jiegeng sniffed, feeling wronged. "Moreover, I feel that my back is hot and itchy. It is very uncomfortable."

Duan Shuang himself had suffered countless external injuries. Logically speaking, this should not be the case.

Just as Duan Shuang was still confused, a few bandits suddenly ran out from the side of the road.

"I didn't think that there would be people in the depths of this forest!" One of them looked at Duan Shuang and Jiegeng and said excitedly and surprisingly.

"Look at the material of their clothes. There is only one man and one woman. Could it be that they eloped from that family?"

"Don't care so much. Let's tie them up and talk later!" Another bandit chimed in.

"Right! Tie him up first, then ask his family for ransom! With such looks and clothing, his family must be wealthy. Now we're rich! "

Duan Shuang's physical strength was already close to the limit, plus Jiegeng was still seriously injured. Rather than taking Jiegeng to wander around in this forest, it would be better to follow them back. Perhaps they still had medicine to save Jiegeng.

Therefore, without any resistance from Duan Shuang and Jiegeng, these bandits easily brought them back to the stockade.

Jiegeng and Duan Shuang were directly brought to meet the chief of the stronghold.

"Big brother, we found these two when we went down the mountain to patrol."

Jiegeng had already fallen asleep at this moment. Duan Shuang tightly hugged Jiegeng and looked at the chief of the stronghold vigilantly.

"Big brother, look at them. They seem to have eloped."

"Is that so?" the leader of the stockade asked.

Duan Shuang nodded. "When we escaped, we first ran into robbers on the way. They not only took away our finances, but also hurt her. Don't worry, as long as you can cure her first, I will guarantee that our family will give you enough ransom. "

" Is his words trustworthy? " The chief asked his partner.

"Boss, I think he's reliable. Look, you're not afraid of anything at all. This kind of bearing is definitely not ordinary. Although their clothes are a little tattered now, the material is real. "

" That's right, big brother. It's rare to see such a pair of obedient and not causing trouble. They didn't struggle and even took the initiative to say that they were sending a ransom. You have to think about the brothers of those sick people in the stockade. If you don't get some gold and silver, they don't even have money to treat them."

"Tell me about your family," Wang Yao said. The village head immediately threatened.

"Unless she's fine first, you can forget about getting a child." Duan Shuang could clearly hear the motive of these people who only wanted money. At this moment, Duan Shuang felt even more at ease.

"You brat, you dare bargain with our boss!" A bandit immediately put a large knife on Duan Shuang's neck.

Duan Shuang immediately stared coldly at the bandits who were waving their knives at him. The bandits were so scared that their bodies trembled.

The leader of the stockade sensed Duan Shuang's extraordinary aura and immediately waved his hand to ask his brother to retreat.

"Lock them up first, then send the medicine in."

"Yes! Boss." As soon as the leader of the stronghold gave the order, his brothers immediately followed suit. No one had any doubts.

After hearing the clear sound of a lock outside the door, Duan Shuang placed Jiegeng on the bed and let her lie sideways with her back to him.

In order to apply medicine to Jiegeng, Duan Shuang untied Jiegeng's shirt and revealed her snow white back.

When Duan Shuang saw the wound, he was shocked once again. It had only been half a day, but the wound had already begun to heal on its own.

Looking at the depth of the wound, it was almost as if bone was about to be seen, but the blood on Jiegeng's clothes did not match the wound at all.

If an ordinary person were to receive such a serious injury, without immediate treatment, they would definitely not be able to live for more than two hours. But Jiegeng's wound had already begun to heal.

There was no way to think further. Duan Shuang first applied medicine on Jiegeng's wound and bandaged it.

When he helped Jiegeng tidy her clothes, Duan Shuang's gaze turned to Jiegeng's injured palm a few days ago.

Although it was still wrapped in gauze, Duan Shuang still unhesitantly opened it.

Sure enough, there was no trace of a wound on this palm. Not even a scar was left.

What was going on?

Jiegeng, how many mysteries do you have?

It was only when night fell that Jiegeng woke up.

When Jiegeng opened her eyes, she saw Duan Shuang in front of her.

Has he been sitting by the bed and guarding me?

Before she fell asleep, her muddled memories immediately attacked her brain. Jiegeng lowered her head and saw the two of them holding hands tightly.

"What are you daydreaming about?"

Jiegeng had been quietly staring at the two people's hands. When she heard Duan Shuang's voice, she raised her head and asked, "Yesterday, I was not dreaming, right?"

Duan Shuang only looked at Jiegeng gently and did not say anything.

"It was indeed a dream..." Jiegeng drooped her eyes in disappointment.

Duan Shuang knocked Jiegeng's head again. "Silly girl, it's all true. It's not a dream."

Jiegeng immediately jumped up excitedly, "Is it true? You really said you like me?" Jiegeng was now smiling like a blooming flower.

"You are becoming more and more foolish." Duan Shuang stared at Jiegeng who was smiling like a flower and shook his head helplessly. He did not forget to touch Jiegeng's head.

"She got up so quickly? Your back doesn't hurt anymore?" Duan Shuang first cared about Jiegeng's injuries.

After Duan Shuang mentioned it, Jiegeng finally remembered her back. "It doesn't seem to hurt that much. It's just that it's still a little hot and itchy."

Duan Shuang pulled out Jiegeng's injured palm. "How did your wound recover so quickly these few days?"

"It seems like my healing ability since I was young is a little stronger than ordinary people. This time, the healing speed of my wound seems to have increased again." Jiegeng looked at her palm and her face was also filled with confusion.

"It's not just your palm. When I applied medicine on your back just now, I realized that such a heavy wound actually started to heal on its own before the medicine was applied." Duan Shuang once again grabbed Jiegeng's hand.

"So fast? This meant that the hot and itchy feeling was that the wound was healing. " Jiegeng analyzed on her own.

"Wait a minute." Jiegeng suddenly raised her tone.

"What's wrong?"

"Did Your Highness give me the medicine?" Jiegeng carefully asked.

"Is there anyone else here?" Duan Shuang raised his eyebrows.

Jiegeng immediately covered her face.

Duan Shuang immediately lowered his head to comfort her. Unexpectedly, Jiegeng immediately raised her head again.

"Ah!" Jiegeng touched the back of her head and looked at Duan Shuang. She found that Duan Shuang's forehead was red.

Jiegeng immediately used her hand to touch him. "Your Royal Highness, are you alright? I didn't do it on purpose."

Duan Shuang raised his hand and gently pulled Jiegeng's hand down. "What are you nervous about? What's so interesting about your figure? Don't you know?"

Jiegeng's face suddenly turned red and she could not say anything.

The next moment, Duan Shuang could not help laughing as he held Jiegeng in his arms. "I didn't see it. I was teasing you just now."

Jiegeng looked up and could only see Duan Shuang's clear chin line. He used a mosquito like voice to say, "Really? Don't lie to me anymore."

"Yes, don't you have a bellyband? What can you see?" Duan Shuang teased on purpose.

Jiegeng immediately buried her head into the ground.

Only Duan Shuang's hearty laughter was left.

After a while, Jiegeng stuck her head out and saw the red stain on Duan Shuang's chest.

"Your Royal Highness, here." Jiegeng pointed at the wound on Duan Shuang's chest and anxiously asked, "Is it alright here?"

Duan Shuang looked at it and said indifferently, "It is a small wound. It is not a problem."

"Even so, you still need to apply medicine!" Jiegeng broke free and got off the bed. She looked around for a while and then found the remaining medicine and gauze that she had used previously.

Jiegeng pulled down Duan Shuang's shirt and found that the wound was not deep and that she had already formed a blood scab.

Even so, Jiegeng immediately treated it again.

"Alright, let's eat something first. We haven't eaten for the whole day. We must be hungry, right?"

Just now, when the bandits brought the medicine in, they even put a portion of food in.

Seeing the two steamed buns on the table, Jiegeng immediately picked up one and gave it to Duan Shuang. "You too."

After temporarily filling her stomach, Jiegeng finally had the strength to think about their current situation.

"Your Royal Highness, how do we get out of here?"

"It is not a good idea to escape now. If it's just the two of us, it will be even more difficult if we run into those people's ambush."

"Then...?" Jiegeng could only look at Duan Shuang helplessly.

"Moreover, the purpose of these people is to pay the ransom, right? Now that we are separated from sister and the rest, even if it is ransom, there is no way to give it to them." Jiegeng continued to speak out her confusion.

"Don't worry. At most, we will just snatch a good horse tomorrow and run all the way to Central State." Duan Shuang comforted Jiegeng.

"Go and rest now." Duan Shuang urged her. Although Jiegeng's wound was fine, her pale smile still worried him.

Jiegeng looked around a small room and felt uneasy. "There is only one bed here. Then where do you sleep, Your Royal Highness?"

"It's fine. Quickly go to sleep. I am used to being in the army. Even if I lean against the wall, I can still sleep."

"No" Jiegeng did not even think about it and opposed it. "In this mountain, at night, the humidity is heavy and it is cold. You are also injured. What if you get cold again? What should we do?"

"I am not as delicate as you." Duan Shuang scratched Jiegeng's nose.

"But..."

Duan Shuang immediately hugged Jiegeng and laid down on the bed. "Now you can sleep well, right?"

He looked like a gentleman just now, but this time...

Jiegeng's heart rate sped up. Oh my god, he and I are lying on the same bed again, this, this... What should I do?

"Close your eyes and go to sleep, you little brain. Don't think too much." Duan Shuang immediately saw through Jiegeng.

"No... How could that be? How could I have any random thoughts? " Jiegeng immediately quipped.

In the end, Jiegeng's restless heart was defeated by sleepiness. In Duan Shuang's warm embrace, Jiegeng very quickly fell asleep.

After making sure Jiegeng was sleeping soundly, Duan Shuang slowly got up. His movements were extremely slow, afraid that he would wake Jiegeng up.

After carefully covering Jiegeng with the blanket, Duan Shuang looked at Jiegeng and softly said, "Little fool, how could I sleep like that just now?"

After that, Duan Shuang leaned the chair against the wall and sat on the chair himself. He leaned against the wall and slowly closed his eyes.

This night was definitely a peaceful night for these two people.

When Shihan and the others arrived at the Central Prefecture, it was already night time. The entire city was immersed in the bustling noise that it should have. It formed a sharp contrast with the solemn atmosphere of these few people.

"Let's find an inn to rest tonight!" Lan Hong saw that everyone was lifeless and immediately suggested.

Shihan and Ouyang Lingfeng looked at each other, their faces gloomy, but they both nodded silently.
