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

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Zuo calmed down again. He no longer had the energy to think too much.

"Jiang Zuo?"

Chen Qingyun shouted in a low voice.

She was really scared, and Jiang Zuo just fell beside her.

"I am fine."

Jiang Zuo responded.

In this dark cave, Chen Qingyun could only feel at ease when he heard Jiang Zuo's voice.

As an empress, she had never felt so helpless.

"I really don't seem to have any strength left. I'm almost dying."

Jiang Zuo, who is usually quite optimistic, is now a little more pessimistic.

"If you can survive, I will promise to marry you!"

Chen Qingyun bit his thin lips lightly and lowered his head.

She can do anything to keep Jiang Zuo alive.

Jiang Zuo closed his eyes and said with a smile: "I want to, too, but now..."

"Jiang Zuo, I can't live without you!"

Before Jiang Zuo finished speaking, Chen Qingyun spoke anxiously.

"Nothing can be without me."

Jiang Zuo whispered, his consciousness already a little fuzzy.

Chen Qingyun finally realized what he had said and said the wrong thing. He quickly said, "I said I really can't live without you. You must hold on. Grit your teeth and everything will be fine soon."

"it is good."

Jiang Zuo slowly opened his eyes and wanted to stare at Chen Qingyun's face, but now it was dark all around him and he could not see Chen Qingyun at all. He just stretched out his hand and touched Chen Qingyun's body.

Chen Qingyun did not hesitate and held Jiang Zuo's cold hand tightly.

The cave became quiet again.

There were gusts of wind outside.

The mountain stream in late autumn is extremely cold.

"It's so cold..."

Jiang Zuo hugged his arms and his body began to tremble.

The pain from the wound continued to torment him.

It was quite cold in the cave at this moment.

Chen Qingyun searched through the bag Jiang Zuo was carrying and asked, "Do you have any tools to start a fire?"

"Yes, but don't light a fire now, so as not to attract the attention of the enemies outside."

Jiang Zuo said with some hesitation.

Their current situation is by no means safe.

"But if you don't light a fire with your current body..."

Chen Qingyun was extremely anxious now. He searched in his bag but couldn't find any tools to make a fire.

After searching again and again, Chen Qingyun had no choice but to give up.

Even if we find it, there is not much firewood in this cave.

Jiang Zuo's body was getting colder and colder.

Chen Qingyun hesitated for a moment, unbuttoned his coat, and wrapped it around Jiang Zuo.

Then, she hugged Jiang Zuo tightly.

At this moment in the narrow cave, the two people maintained an extremely ambiguous behavior.

Suddenly, Jiang Zuo felt a faint warmth.

He couldn't help but stretch out his right hand and hugged Chen Qingyun tightly.

The two of them seemed to have never been so close to each other before.

When the passion reached its peak, Jiang Zuo moved forward and kissed Chen Qingyun.

And his other hand was stroking Chen Qingyun's back.

As a result, Chen Qingyun became even more nervous and... a little embarrassed.

This was not the only time she and Jiang Zuo were so close.

But this time it was completely different. In her heart, the previous anger was no longer there.

At this moment, Chen Qingyun was more proactive.

She carefully held Jiang Zuo's arm to avoid touching his wound, and then used her other hand to gently stroke Jiang Zuo's face.

Chen Qingyun's hands were extremely gentle.

Jiang Zuo couldn't bear it any longer and put his hand into Chen Qingyun's clothes, feeling the softness.

The heat in his body seemed to have driven away the coldness.

"Wait." Chen Qingyun hurriedly stopped Jiang Zuo from taking any further action. Feeling his ears getting hot, he said, "You are injured..."

Jiang Zuo finally calmed down and hugged Chen Qingyun tightly again.

At this moment, pain and happiness coexist.

"Let's get some sleep. I don't have the strength to walk anymore..."

Jiang Zuo said in a weak voice.

"Okay, you go to sleep." Chen Qingyun nodded and hugged Jiang Zuo tightly again.

The night is long.

Chen Qingyun couldn't sleep all night and kept waking up from a half-sleep state.

That night, Chen Qingyun had several nightmares and thought Jiang Zuo was dead.

Every once in a while, she would put her fingers in front of Jiang Zuo's nose to feel if he was still breathing, so that she could close her eyes with some peace of mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Qingyun finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

When the first ray of morning light passed through the vines and shone on Chen Qingyun's beautiful yet tired face, she suddenly woke up and quickly turned her head to check Jiang Zuo's condition.

At this moment, Jiang Zuo's face was still pale.

He was still resting, his breathing still rapid.

Chen Qingyun rubbed her sleepy eyes, slowly left Jiang Zuo's arms, walked to the cave entrance, checked the situation outside, and observed for a long time before she returned to Jiang Zuo with peace of mind and called out gently, "Jiang Zuo?"

Jiang Zuo didn't react at all and still kept his eyes closed.

Chen Qingyun gently stroked Jiang Zuo's face, and suddenly, he recalled what happened last night, and waves of emotions surged in his heart.

Her face turned red, and she actually leaned closer to Jiang Zuo's face again and kissed him gently on the face.

Jiang Zuo made a slight movement, and Chen Qingyun was inexplicably panicked and stepped back repeatedly.

"Si Yue?"

Jiang Zuo finally woke up.

At this moment, they were hungry and tired, not to mention they had to avoid being hunted down by the northern barbarians.

I was lucky enough to survive last night's cold.

As long as you are alive, there is hope.

Chen Qingyun was still quite optimistic. She firmly believed that she would be able to bring Jiang Zuo back to Anding County safely.

"do you feel better?"

Chen Qingyun said with concern, then supported Jiang Zuo's right arm.

Jiang Zuo stretched his muscles and still felt a tingling sensation in his left shoulder, but compared to yesterday, it was a little better now. However, he had not eaten for nearly a day, and hunger and fatigue made him completely exhausted.

He was about to stand up with the help of Chen Qingyun's strength, but he sat down on the ground weakly again.

"I can't walk anymore, Siyue, you should get out of the car quickly and bring someone to rescue me."

Jiang Zuo leaned against the cave, his words revealing his fatigue and weakness.

Chen Qingyun stared at Jiang Zuo's weak face and knew that he was not in good condition. If he forced himself to go down the mountain, it would only increase the danger.

But Chen Qingyun was worried if he just left Jiang Zuo on the mountain. If she wasn't there, and the group of northern barbarians found Jiang Zuo, he would definitely die...

Chen Qingyun fell into great entanglement.

At this moment, it seemed as if we were in a dead end.

suddenly.

I heard bursts of noise coming from outside.

This voice is extremely familiar.

That was clearly the sound of gunfire.

And it is obvious that the only army that possesses this kind of weapon is the Anding Army.

"He is from Anding County."

Jiang Zuo suddenly opened his eyes, and a little more hope filled his heart.

"Yes."

The expression on Chen Qingyun's face was also one of relief.

As long as the An Ding Army comes, they may still be saved...
