I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

At this moment, Chen Qingyun still stretched out his hand and tried to grab Jiang Zuo. Fortunately, the slope provided a buffer, and both of them were fine.

"Jiang Zuo?"

Chen Qingyun helped the injured Jiang Zuo up, then looked around vigilantly, making sure that no one was chasing him before checking on Jiang Zuo's condition.

Jiang Zuo felt very weak at the moment. He shook his head violently, trying to wake himself up, and said, "I'm fine, let's go!"

He stood up and continued walking into the mountains and forests.

Chen Qingyun supported Jiang Zuo and quickened his pace.

Following the stream at their feet, they fled eastward.

After running for a while, Chen Qingyun took Jiang Zuo and walked through a pile of weeds.

"Wait for me here."

Chen Qingyun put Jiang Zuo down and then turned and left.

"Siyue, where are you going?"

Jiang Zuo stretched out his hand.

But at this moment, Chen Qingyun had already walked to the other side of the stream. He deliberately left his footsteps and kept walking forward until he came to a bush. Then he followed the same footprints again and returned to Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He thought Chen Qingyun was going to do something...

"Let's go."

Chen Qingyun continued to lead Jiang Zuo forward, and with every step they took, they had to eliminate the footprints behind them.

Suddenly, Chen Qingyun's attention was attracted by the vines beside her. She walked forward, pushed aside the vines that were entangled around her, and a half-cave appeared in front of her.

Chen Qingyun didn't think much about it, and immediately asked Jiang Zuo to hide inside. Then he slowly stepped in, and then covered it again to make sure there was nothing.

Now both of them were too exhausted to move forward.

Only in this cave can we catch our breath for a while.

Chen Qingyun nervously grasped the gun in question, took out the ammunition from Jiang Zuo's bag, and reloaded it.

Now that Jiang Zuo is injured, she has to take over the weapon and protect Jiang Zuo.

The light from outside shone through the gaps in the vines and onto Jiang Zuo's weak face.

Chen Qingyun was just about to ask when a voice came from outside.

"There are footsteps here. They must have run in this direction."

someone shouted.

Chen Qingyun held his breath and focused his attention, staring closely at the situation outside.

"did you find it?"

"No."

"Look for it again. It's definitely in this area."

This group of enemies was obviously not far away from them.

"Surround this area. They must still be here. Let's search again in the morning."

One person ordered.

What to do now?

Chen Qingyun frowned and thought about countermeasures.

She, a woman alone, and the injured Jiang Zuo would definitely not be able to break out.

Now Chen Qingyun can only place his hopes on the Yan army in this area.

I don't know how much time had passed, but there was no movement outside at all.

"They should be leaving..."

Jiang Zuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But it is obvious that they are still in an extremely dangerous situation.

"not necessarily."

Chen Qingyun watched the situation outside vigilantly through the gaps in the vines.

"Why don't you go first? Their target is me. As long as you escape, you can find reinforcements."

Jiang Zuo's voice was weak.

"Don't say such things."

Chen Qingyun said.

She knew very well that if she just left like this, Jiang Zuo would definitely not be able to escape in his current state.

The two were silent for a moment, and Chen Qingyun asked with concern: "How do you feel?"

The Empress has never cared so much about someone...

"Don't worry, it's not a fatal injury..."

Jiang Zuo still remained optimistic, but now he was feeling dry mouth and a little exhausted.

Chen Qingyun moved closer to Jiang Zuo and used the faint light to check the condition of his wounds.

The wound on Jiang Zuo's shoulder was simply bandaged.

"So thirsty."

Jiang Zuo suddenly spoke.

He had a water bottle on his waist, but the water in it was obviously not enough for two people to drink.

Chen Qingyun picked up the kettle and found that there was very little water left in it.

"Drink first."

She handed over the kettle.

Jiang Zuo took a sip and the cup was empty.

Chen Qingyun once again looked through the gap and carefully checked the surroundings. After making sure that no one was around, he said, "I'll go out and get some water."

"Don't go, those northern barbarians are still nearby." Jiang Zuo quickly stopped her.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Chen Qingyun whispered.

For Jiang Zuo, she had to take the risk.

Chen Qingyun cautiously pushed aside the vines, and after repeated confirmation, he took a step and quietly approached the stream not far away. Then he bent down, quickly filled his cup with water, and immediately returned to the cave.

Chen Qingyun is now filled with tension and anxiety.

"water."

Chen Qingyun handed the water to Jiang Zuo again.

Jiang Zuo took it in his hand and drank it in big gulps.

"You drink some too." Jiang Zuo handed the kettle back to Chen Qingyun.

Chen Qingyun nodded slightly, took a deep breath to relieve his thirst, and then returned to the cave entrance to observe the situation outside.

The sky gradually darkened, and at this moment the cave was pitch black.

Chen Qingyun confirmed that there was no one outside before returning to Jiang Zuo.

But at this moment, Jiang Zuo was either asleep or unconscious, and there was no movement at all.

"Jiang Zuo?"

Chen Qingyun felt a little more panicked.

She was really worried that Jiang Zuo would never wake up again after this sleep.

Chen Qingyun leaned tightly against Jiang Zuo, wanting to check on him, but it was pitch black inside the cave and he couldn't see Jiang Zuo's expression at all.

If anything happens in Jiangzuo, she will do whatever it takes to wipe out the entire Mobei grassland!

"Si Yue?"

Jiang Zuo finally woke up and shouted weakly.

"I'm here." Chen Qingyun quickly moved closer to Jiang Zuo and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head and said, "Not so good, it hurts a little, I feel like I'm going to die..."

"Don't say that!" Chen Qingyun was shocked and became more worried about Jiang Zuo's condition. "Be patient for a while. Once you have rested, we will leave at night."

"Siyue, leave here before dawn. You'll be safe once you get down the mountain..."

Jiang Zuo said, his face had already lost all color at this moment.

If they wait until daybreak, the number of enemies will increase and they will not be able to escape from here.

"No, I want to go with you."

Chen Qingyun spoke firmly.

Jiang Zuo felt extremely comforted and said, "I'm so tired now, I feel like taking a nap."

"Don't sleep, you can't die yet. Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? Hang on!"

Chen Qingyun bit his lip, and his tone was already somewhat nervous.

Jiang Zuo forced a smile with great difficulty, and he was indeed extremely looking forward to it.

But when he thought about the predicament he and Chen Qingyun were in, he felt lucky to be able to survive.

"But I really can't open my eyes."

Jiang Zuo was already beginning to feel a little overwhelmed.

"Then..." Chen Qingyun was also panicked. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then talk to me about something happy and sober up."

"Happy things?"

Jiang Zuo seemed to remember that ever since he met Chen Qingyun, his mind was not only filled with money, but also with this woman he had been dreaming about day and night...
