Chapter 973 Confession

Time passed quickly, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

That night, in a forest within the territory of Zhongyuan City in Tiancang Country.

Yuan Jie drove the carriage alone and stopped at a relatively secluded place.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Gu Chan got out and said, "How is it? There are no Dragon Guards around here, right?"

"Don't worry, this forest is located on the edge of Zhongyuan City. The Dragon Guards are now besieging outside Zhongyuan City. They will not come here." Yuan Jie said softly.

Gu Chan nodded with relief, then went to collect dry firewood, made a fire, sat beside it, and ate her dry food quietly.

She had just woken up from a coma five days ago. At that time, Yuan Jie had already taken her and Xuanyuan Qing out of Kyoto and escorted them to escape from the subordinate in Kyoto. After sending them out of the city, they had to return to Tianzong, otherwise once Tianzong was short of people, things would become more troublesome.

Gu Chan naturally understood this very well, and also knew that Feng Shishi and her son must be having a hard time right now.

Yuan Jie sat beside Gu Chan, eating some dry food while looking at Xuanyuan Qing lying in the carriage. She sighed and said, "It's been ten days. We have all escaped to the territory of Zhongyuan City. Why hasn't the Ninth Prince woken up yet?"

"Oh, don't worry! His life is not in danger now, he's just a little weak." Gu Chan said unhappily.

"But it's not a good idea for him to lie there like this all the time! People have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate to survive! He relies on spiritual energy to repair his body every day, and then drinks some water. If he continues like this, I'm really afraid that his body won't be able to hold on! After all, he's already so skinny." Yuan Jie said worriedly.

Gu Chan immediately reached into the bag on her waist, took out a tonic pill, stood up and got into the carriage, then stuffed the pill directly into Xuanyuan Qing's mouth.

Yuan Jie was so anxious that she shouted, "Are you crazy? He is so weak, and you still give him pills?"

"This is a tonic pill. I have been feeding him one every day since I woke up. You were just driving the bus and didn't see it before." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

"You..." Yuan Jie was choked speechless and really didn't know what to say.

"Cough cough cough..."

At this moment, something unexpected happened. A faint cough was heard from the carriage. Xuanyuan Qing, who had been in a coma, slowly opened his eyes after swallowing the fifth tonic pill.

Yuan Jie shouted happily, "Cui Er, the Ninth Prince is awake, oh my god! He's awake!"

"Okay, calm down. There's nothing strange about this. I've spent so much effort and even used up all my spiritual energy to save him. If he still doesn't wake up, all my efforts will be in vain, right?" Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

Ever since she woke up five days ago and discovered that there was no spiritual energy in her body, she really wanted to beat that brat to death. It was a pity that the huge Tiancang country needed him now, and all the people also needed him.

In the end, she could only suppress her dissatisfaction and just hoped that he would wake up as soon as possible.

Fortunately, hard work pays off, and now her efforts have finally paid off!

"Water... I want to drink water..." Just as Gu Chan was thinking about this, Xuanyuan Qing said weakly while lying in the carriage.

Yuan Jie quickly got the kettle and went into the carriage to feed him water.

After drinking a few sips of water, Xuanyuan Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, staring at Gu Chan and said weakly, "I will remember your life-saving grace in my heart. When I get better, I will definitely marry you and repay you for the rest of my life."

"Fuck you, are you planning to take revenge on me? And you want to marry me? Now Xuanyuan Long is eager to kill you. If I follow you, will I have a good life? I might as well travel around the world with a sword and pick up handsome men everywhere. Wouldn't it be more fun?" Gu Chan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"No, that won't work. You can only be my woman. If anyone dares to touch you, I will fight him to the death." Xuanyuan Qing said affectionately.

Gu Chan crossed her arms over her chest and blushed instantly.

Dry!

She has been traveling here for so long, but today is the first time she has met a man who confessed his love to her so passionately!

How could this not make her feel shy.

"Ha ha……"

Yuan Jie covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

Gu Chan quickly came back to her senses and said, "Okay, you've just gotten your life back and you're already getting horny. Don't try to play this on me. You should get your body in good shape first."

"Yes, Ninth Prince, this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Cui'er is only fifteen years old now, and she won't be sixteen until next year. Even if you marry her this year, if she doesn't let you touch her, you will have to wait until next year to spend the wedding night with her, right?" Yuan Jie said jokingly.

"Then marry her first and spend the wedding night with her tomorrow." Xuanyuan Qing said with a wicked smile.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes at him, hurriedly got out of the carriage, and continued to sit by the fire and eat some dry food.

Yuan Jie helped Xuanyuan Qing leave the carriage, sat down by the fire, leaned against a tree and rested, saying softly, "Ninth Prince, do you want to eat something? You are too thin and weak now, why don't you eat something to fill your stomach first!"

"Soak half a steamed bun in water and make sure it becomes a paste before feeding him, otherwise his body won't be able to handle it." Gu Chan reminded.

Yuan Jie nodded in agreement, and immediately went to get a steamed bun, broke it in half, crushed it, put it in a bowl, and soaked it in water.

Soon, half a bowl of steamed bun paste was ready, and Yuan Jie fed it into Xuanyuan Qing's mouth spoonful by spoonful.

Xuanyuan Qing had some difficulty swallowing at first, but as he ate more smoothly, he quickly finished the half bowl of steamed bun porridge.

Yuan Jie asked with concern, "Ninth Prince, how do you feel now? Do you want another bowl?"

"I already feel some strength, so I don't need to eat anymore." Xuanyuan Qing shook his head.

Yuan Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and finally no longer felt that anxious feeling in her heart.

Xuanyuan Qing then asked, "By the way, what is the current situation in Tiancang? Why do I feel like we are fleeing?"

"What else could it be? Your good royal brother has formed a dragon-protecting army of hundreds of thousands to attack the Jiangnan area, Wuheng County area, and Zhongyuan City. In short, he will not let go of any forces that may be linked to you and me." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

"Then where are we now?" Xuanyuan Qing asked.

“In the territory of Zhongyuan City, now as long as you arrive in Zhongyuan City, everyone will have a backbone. When the time comes, you will shout, and people from all over Tiancang Country will rise up. As long as everyone in Zhongyuan City helps you to repel the Dragon Guard Army and unify the Central Plains area, you will have gained a firm foothold.” Gu Chan spoke out what was in his mind.

The most important thing right now is to escort Xuanyuan Qing safely to Zhongyuan City. As for whether she can repel the Dragon Guard Army, she has no idea.
