Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Last time we talked about how Han Xuan and Yunxi attacked the enemy from both inside and outside, forcing them to flee in panic.

Just when Yunxi and the others were rejoicing, unexpectedly, with a "whoosh", the enemy suddenly counterattacked and shot an arrow from an unknown direction, flying straight towards Yunxi.

In a flash, Han Xuan jumped from his horse to Yunxi's horse, and the arrow pierced Han Xuan's back.

With a low cry of "Ah!", Han Xuan fell off the horse. Yunxi hurriedly dismounted, helped him up, and asked anxiously: "Han Xuan, what's wrong with you?" "I'm fine..." Before he could finish his words, Han Xuan fainted.

Yunxi was extremely anxious. She knew that it was not suitable to stay here for long and she had to find a safe place for Han Xuan to heal his wounds as soon as possible. She used all her strength to help Han Xuan onto the horse, and she also jumped on the horse and waved the whip desperately. The horse ran towards the nearby forest in pain.

Deep in the woods, Yunxi finally found an abandoned hut. She carefully pushed open the rickety door and stepped into the house.

The room was filled with an old smell, but for Yunxi at this moment, this was the best place to stay.

She gently placed Han Xuan on the kang and carefully examined his injuries. She saw that the arrow was deeply embedded in his body, and the surrounding skin had turned a strange black color.

Yunxi frowned, thinking to herself that something was wrong: this arrow was obviously poisonous. If it was not dealt with in time, it might endanger Han Xuan's life!

At this critical moment, Yunxi leaned over without hesitation and sucked out the venom in Han Xuan's body with her mouth. Every mouthful made her feel nauseous, but she endured the discomfort and kept repeating this action until she could no longer suck out any venom.

Then, she quickly took out a gray-black detoxification pill from her bosom and put it into Han Xuan's mouth. This precious pill was made by her using modern medical knowledge combined with Chinese herbal medicine recorded in ancient books. She always carried the pill with her in case of emergency.

After finishing all this, Yunxi did not dare to relax at all and immediately began to treat Han Xuan's wounds. Her technique was skillful and her movements were gentle, as if she was treating a rare treasure.

She fetched clean water to wash away the dirt around the wound, then took out a bottle of golden wound medicine from her bag and smeared it evenly on the wound. Finally, she tore off a piece of cloth from her body and bandaged the wound to ensure that it would not be infected by the outside world.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Yunxi was still concentrating on taking care of Han Xuan. Finally, she saw Han Xuan's breathing gradually stabilize, and his face, which was as pale as paper, regained some color. Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, and sat beside him exhausted, silently guarding him.

After an unknown amount of time, Han Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and his vision gradually became clear. He saw Yunxi lying quietly on the side, apparently having fallen asleep due to exhaustion. Her face looked a little haggard, and her tightly closed eyes revealed a hint of fatigue, but she was still beautiful.

Han Xuan was moved. He endured the pain from the arrow wound and carefully reached out his hand, wanting to touch Yunxi's hair, but was afraid to wake her up. His eyes were full of tenderness and gratitude. Yunxi in front of him made him feel extremely warm.

At this moment, Han Xuan forgot the pain in his body, and only felt deep gratitude towards Yunxi. He secretly vowed to protect her and prevent her from any harm. He stared at Yunxi quietly, as if time had stopped for them.

Yunxi suddenly woke up from her coma and immediately checked Han Xuan's wound. She felt relieved when she saw that the wound had turned bright red.

Only then did she realize that Han Xuan was looking at her with deep affection in his eyes.

"Han Xuan, you finally woke up! You almost scared me to death." Yunxi said fearfully.

"I woke up a long time ago, and when I saw that you were too tired, I didn't have the heart to disturb you." Han Xuan said weakly.

At this time, a "gurgle... gurgle" sound came from Han Xuan's stomach, and Yunxi understood that Han Xuan was hungry. Yunxi searched the entire thatched hut but couldn't find anything to eat.

When Yunxi was at a loss, he suddenly caught sight of a large peach tree in front of the thatched cottage, which was full of fist-sized peaches.

Yunxi said to Han Xuan happily, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon." Without waiting for Han Xuan's reply, she quickly walked out of the thatched cottage, came to the peach tree, and quickly picked a few of the biggest and reddest peaches. Just as Yunxi was walking back, suddenly, a dark shadow jumped down from the peach tree...

Yunxi was shocked without any preparation. She cried "Ah!" and Taozi was thrown to the ground. Han Xuan, who was in the room, heard the noise and slowly moved out, dragging his aching body.

Yunxi calmed down and saw a hairy monkey squatting in front of him... Han Xuan, who had just come out of the house, also saw the monkey.

Yunxi was just about to pick up the peaches scattered on the ground.

"Yunxi, don't move... Don't pick peaches, otherwise the monkey... will think you are trying to steal its food and it will attack you..." Han Xuan said nervously, holding back the pain.

Yunxi then realized that the monkey was staring at the two of them hungrily.

Yunxi had no choice but to walk back a few steps and support Han Xuan. "What should we do now that we are hungry?" Yunxi could hear her stomach growling.

"Let's go back to the house and discuss it carefully." Han Xuan said.

Yunxi thought to herself that under normal circumstances, she would not have to take this monkey seriously at all. It would be easy to knock it down or capture it alive. But now Han Xuan was injured, and she was tired and hungry.

Thinking of this, Yunxi followed Han Xuan's words and helped Han Xuan back into the house.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Yunxi, who was very hungry, was about to get up and go out to see if the monkey had left, but she saw the monkey jumping in with a few peaches in its hands... This scene was both funny and amusing.

The monkey walked up to Han Xuan, looked at him, then turned around and raised the peach with both hands and handed it to Yunxi...

Yunxi took the peach in shock, looked at the monkey gratefully, then washed and peeled the peach and fed it to Han Xuan. Han Xuan ate the sweet peach with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

After Han Xuan and Yunxi finished eating the peaches, they recovered some of their strength.

Han Xuan decided to try to communicate with the monkey, hoping to get more help from it.

Han Xuan slowly approached the monkey and spoke to it in a gentle tone. Surprisingly, the monkey seemed to understand what Han Xuan meant. It blinked and signaled Han Xuan to follow it.

Han Xuan and Yun Xi looked at each other and decided to follow the monkey. The monkey led them to a mountain stream with clear water and abundant fruits.

Han Xuan and Yun Xi were overjoyed. They had enough food and water here. When they left, the monkey kept waving at them, as if saying goodbye.

Han Xuan and Yun Xi looked at the monkey's back with gratitude, their hearts full of expectations for the future. They believed that as long as they faced difficulties bravely, miracles would always happen.
