Yuzhen faced death with a sense of relief, and the white horse and cold sword fiercely attacked!
In an instant, accompanied by the force of lightning and thunder, Xiao Jiang rushed over.

It moved with lightning speed, its four hooves galloping swiftly.

A sudden downpour fell in the Tianmu Mountains, and Xiao Jiang charged alone to kill the enemy.

In a sudden moment, he beheaded the enemy rider with a single sword strike.

Charge forward, braving wind, rain, and cold light, to fight the enemy once more.

Everything seemed like a dream.
Yuzhen's eyes were misty with tears, and her heart clenched suddenly.

The only sound was the rustling of the wind; all other noises were suddenly gone.

Gradually, she relaxed, her eyes filled with tears, and her vision began to blur.

He showed signs of fainting.

Scenes from my childhood flashed through my mind, and the vows we made still echoed in my ears.

Tick
tick-

The mountain rain came in with great force, and soon the rain curtain poured down.

There, Xiao Lang will fight to the death with all his might, using overwhelming force and risking his life.

After a fierce battle in the rain, the enemy soldiers were finally defeated, but the knife wound on his left shoulder unexpectedly reopened, which he ignored.

The raindrops, oblivious to any sentimentality, relentlessly pelted Xiao Jingchuan, causing blood to trickle down his arms from inside his armor, covering his entire body.

However, he had no time to pay attention to these things.

Seeing that he had killed four enemies in a row, he only managed to catch his breath a few times. Once his heart and mind had recovered, he hurriedly rode his horse to the front of the carriage to check on Yuzhen.

The current situation is quite dire.

Only when Xiao Lang's white horse gets close can we make out who he is.

The large red-wheeled carriage where Yuan Yuzhen was located had long since been torn apart and ruined by the enemy's grappling hooks.

Yuzhen, dressed in white, slumped down in the rain.

Xiao Duo was heartbroken and couldn't bear it. Seeing their predicament, he quickly grabbed the blood-stained cloak hanging from his horse and ripped it off.

In a moment of panic, he staggered off his horse, rushed over, and grabbed his cloak to wrap around Yuzhen.

"Yuzhen—"

"Yuzhen."

"It's me, it's Xiao Jingchuan!"

"Not afraid, not afraid."

"It's alright now, okay?"

Yu-zhen seemed to be too frightened by what had happened, and was also exhausted. At this moment, she was in a daze and remained silent and indifferent, without any reaction.

Seeing this, how could Xiao Jingchuan not be anxious?

He frantically pulled Yuzhen into his arms, trembling, and reached out to wipe the raindrops splashing on Yuzhen's cheeks.

They were all perfectly fine before, with almond-shaped cheeks and peach-colored face, yet they didn't need makeup; their eyebrows were simply painted lightly, making them stand out from the crowd.

Her dimples are captivating, and her charm is endless.

But in the face of disaster and such pain, in this instant, Xiao Man looked at him with pity and saw that his lips and cheeks were pale and bloodless.

I gritted my teeth, lay face up, and felt excruciating pain.

Xiao Lang, amidst the torrential rain, had never felt so helpless and panicked, fearing for Yu Zhen's safety.

It truly embodies the saying, "I wish to be a thread of immortality, to tie the spring breeze and protect my beautiful face."

“Yuzhen, Yu.”

"No, no."

"I, I'll take you away now. We'll, we'll be alright."

"I'll take you away from here, we'll go see a doctor, you'll be fine."

Xiao was still muttering to himself in a panic. In his haste, he reached under his skirt to lift Yuzhen onto the horse, thinking that getting her to the doctor was the only way to turn things around.

However, just as Xiao Yi acted recklessly, the blood seeping from his left shoulder wound, along with the red blood from the torrential rain, stained Yu Zhen's hair and forehead.

Seeing the large patch of blood red, Yuzhen's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly snapped out of her daze.

Instinctively, the man resisted and punched Xiao Lang twice in the chest.

"what--"

"No, no, don't!"

Startled, Yuzhen lost her composure in the torrential rain.

Xiao noticed Yuzhen's actions and didn't know what to do.

"Yuzhen, Yuzhen."

"Yes, it's me, Xiao Jingchuan."

"I'm Xiaochuan!"

With another grab, Xiao Lang, in a moment of urgency, seized Yu Zhen's frantically struggling wrist to prevent her from being further injured by his full suit of armor.

The rain was thick and continuous, and the two of them were soaked to the bone. Only then did their eyes meet.

To scoop up the bright moon from boiling water, one must first understand the sky reflected in a well.

Finally, Yuzhen regained her senses and realized that she was thinking of Xiao Lang. She then burst into tears, completely letting down her guard.

"Okay, okay, Yuzhen."

"Don't be afraid, it's alright now."

"This is not a place to stay for long." "I...I'll carry you to the horse, and we'll go back right away, okay?"

Just as Yuzhen was burying her head in his arms and crying, Xiao Lang tried to pick her up.

Suddenly, as if she had just remembered something, the weak Yuzhen struggled to spit out her breath.

"no no."

"Xiao Jingchuan, hurry, hurry and save Sister Dong."

"Okay, put me down first."

"Go save Sister Dong, quick, quick!"

Yuzhen pleaded repeatedly and was assigned this task.

"what?"

"Dong, are you referring to Consort An?" Xiao Meng asked.

"Well, yes."

"She fell and was left behind while trying to save me."

"Don't worry about me, hurry, go find her first." The sisters were very close, and Yu-zhen was worried.

"Uh, this"

Xiao hesitated before saying "this."

"Oh dear, hurry up and go!"

Yuzhen scolded, seemingly in a great hurry, and kept urging Xiao to go back and search.

Seeing the situation, and unable to go against his wishes, Xiao Lang sighed and had no choice but to grab the reins and leap back onto his horse, turning back to gallop away.

The torrential rain obstructed visibility.
After searching for a while, Xiao Lang finally found Consort An's trail in a muddy puddle two turns away.

Unfortunately, upon closer inspection of her breath and pulse, it was too late to save her; she had already lost her life.

She was covered in blood, especially a gash on her forehead, which was probably caused by falling from the carriage and hitting a rock, resulting in such a fatal injury.

As for the several broken bones around his body, they were probably caused by the trampling of the Jurchen horses that followed and bit him.

Her fine clothes were stained with mud and filth; the beautiful woman died a tragic death.

Seeing that there was no way to salvage the situation, Xiao had no choice but to pick up the corpse and place it on the back of the white horse.

With his mind on Yuzhen, he had no time to think further. He grabbed the girl, cracked his whip, and hurriedly headed back towards the carriage ahead.

Tap tap, tap tap tap—

The white horse returned, its hooves treading through the mud.

In the misty rain, Yu Zhen waited anxiously, gazing expectantly in the direction Xiao had gone.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and my heart clenched again, my slender fingers involuntarily twisting together.

"Uu——"

"Shut up!"

Xiao Hui dismounted and walked to the carriage.

He took a few steps in silence, remaining completely still.

Passing by the person, one can clearly see the figure on horseback that resembles Sister Dong.

Since Xiao Jingchuan approached alone, he did not come to help her.

At this moment, Yuzhen already understood what it meant.

His grief vanished instantly, leaving him heartbroken.

"Xiao Jingchuan, Sister Dong, Sister Dong, she..."

"No, the Bodhisattva will protect her; she will be alright."

"You, how could you leave her on the horse and not let her come over?"

"Carry me over there, I want to see it."

Yu-zhen was so distressed by her injuries that she found it difficult to accept the situation.

She muttered to herself, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Xiao Manxin felt a pang of heartache.

"Yuzhen, okay, okay."

"There is no resurrection from the dead."

"An, Consort An, she, she has already passed away."

Take care of yourself.

"Don't hurt yourself again."

"Alas, I just went back to check and saw that the winding road below was covered by collapsed rocks."

"This rain is absolutely terrible."

"There's no other way, let's find somewhere to take shelter from the rain first."

"We can only wait until the rain stops before making any further plans."

"Come here, I'll carry you away."

Xiao Yu's words of comfort revealed a rare tenderness in a hero.
