Quick Travel to the Clouds

A close call!

Yun Chu caught a glimpse of the deadly blue light from the corner of her eye, and her pupils suddenly shrank! She had no time to think at all, her body's instincts outpaced her consciousness—she didn't choose to dodge, but instead used all her strength to slam back!

boom!

Her strong body slammed into Shen Ji, knocking him hard into the safest corner of the car! The huge impact made Shen Ji groan.

puff!

Just as she pushed Shen Ji away, the crossbow arrow, which was filled with poison, pierced deeply into her left shoulder with a shrill scream!

"Ugh!" A suppressed groan of pain escaped Yun Chu's lips. The sharp pain instantly broke through her tight will defenses, and her body shook uncontrollably.

The purple robe was instantly soaked with blood, and the dark red quickly spread across the coiled dragon pattern, shocking the eyes.

This scene, like a thunderclap, struck the hearts of the four people present.

"Your Majesty!"

"master!"

"Your Majesty!"

"you……"

The four of them cried out in shock at the same time! Their voices were filled with unprecedented panic and fear, a panic that they themselves hadn't even noticed!

The cold ice in the eyes of the quiet Shen Ji also shattered at this moment, leaving only the dazzling bright red that instantly bloomed in front of his eyes!

The intense pain actually aroused the ferocity in Yun Chu's bones! The phoenix eyes that always wore a lazy smile were now covered with a violent scarlet.

"Looking for death!" Yun Chu gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words. The long sword in his right hand not only did not slow down at all due to the pain, but instead burst out with an even more terrifying murderous intent!

Without even having time to pull the crossbow arrow off his shoulder, Yun Chu used his left hand to slam the end of the arrow shaft hard, using the force to stabilize his body?

At the same time, the sword was like a mad dragon emerging from the sea, and with a move called "Raging Sky River", it carried with it an overwhelming rage and strong wind, and swept the crossbowman, the shaft of the cart where he was hiding, and the two assassins beside him into a sea of ​​blood and sword light!

The screams stopped abruptly.

Blood dripped from Yun Chu's wound along the arrow shaft and hit the floor of the carriage with a dull "thump, thump" sound. It was particularly clear and harsh in the brief silence and the continuous fighting outside.

The air in the car seemed to freeze.

The four of them looked at Yun Chu, who was standing in front of them. He had a deadly poison arrow stuck in his shoulder and was covered in blood, but his aura was even more terrifying. He was like a guardian god but also a ferocious demon. Their hearts were completely engulfed by an unprecedented, surging and burning emotion.

It was not just the relief after the fear, the shock in the gratitude, but also a throbbing feeling deep in the soul that was struck by the powerful protective force!

Gu Tingzhou had tears in his eyes and his body was shaking with fear and excitement.

Liu Rufeng's knuckles turned white from gripping the hilt of the knife so tightly, and his eyes looking at Yun Chu were filled with indescribable admiration and determination to die - in this life, this life belongs only to you!

For the first time, Bai Mo's cold face showed such a violent emotional fluctuation. He stared at the arrow wound on Yun Chu's shoulder, and the pain and determination in his eyes almost overflowed.

At this moment, the confusion and doubts in Shen Ji's heart about his past and present lives were completely dispelled by the intense pain and throbbing.

The figure standing in front of him, the blood shed for him is so hot and real!

It no longer matters whether the previous life was a dream or not. The person who has torn apart all his defenses at this moment is the real abyss, the abyss that he is willing to sink into!

The love values ​​of the four characters soared simultaneously: Gu Tingzhou 75%, Liu Rufeng 68%, Bai Mo 67%, Shen Ji 80%)

In the canyon, the guards finally stabilized their position and began to counterattack.

The sounds of fighting became increasingly fierce, but in this small carriage, four complex and burning gazes were all focused on the figure with a poisonous arrow stuck in his shoulder and a bloodstained purple robe, but he still stood in front of them like a mountain.

Under Gu Tingzhou's command, the surviving guards quickly eliminated the remaining assassins, rescued the wounded, and strengthened the defense line.

Gu Tingzhou rushed to Yun Chu first and ordered in a trembling voice: "Quick! Call the military doctor! Bring the antidote!" He knew that the arrow was poisoned and time was life.

Liu Rufeng's eyes were red. While guarding his surroundings vigilantly, he roared: "Damn it! Don't let me know who did it!" His anger almost broke through his reason.

Although Yun Chu was in excruciating pain, her lips turning blue and her temples soaked with sweat, the sharpness and majesty in her eyes remained undimmed. She gritted her teeth, her voice hoarse with pain but remarkably clear: "Don't... don't panic! Take the knife... just... carve out the flesh and remove the arrow!"

"Take the horse... the medicine box on the carriage, which contains... the antidote for all poisons." This antidote was left by Yun Chu in the previous mission world. She took out some just in case.

It was designed to deal with these special situations, but I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

Shen Ji reacted quickly and immediately went to Yun Chu's carriage, found the medicine box, took out the antidote and gave it to Yun Chu to take.

The antidote seemed to be working, allowing Yun Chu to maintain a sense of clarity. She forced herself to give orders, "Gu Tingzhou will take charge of the situation. Liu Rufeng... will be on guard. Bai Mo... will identify the source of the poison. Shen Ji will stay and take care of it."

The guards captured several assassins who were crippled by Yun Chu but were still alive, and dragged them to the shattered ruins of the carriage.

Liu Rufeng was eager to vent his anger, but was suppressed by Gu Tingzhou's gaze and Yun Chu's painful gasps. Gu Tingzhou personally interrogated Yun Chu, his method sharp and efficient.

Most of the assassins were stubborn, but one of them, who was a little weaker in will, revealed the key fragment under torture: "... Luo... Yingzhai... accepted the money... The other party's... token... has... a phoenix pattern..." He then died of the poison.

Bai Mo carefully examined the assassin's body, crossbow, and clothing, and whispered, "Your Highness, these people...are well-trained, their assassination is well-timed, and their equipment is excellent. They are definitely not ordinary bandits."

"The composition of the arrow poison is strange, with the smell of several rare medicinal herbs... like... the methods used by southern Xinjiang or some secret organizations. That phoenix pattern... is commonly used by princesses' ceremonial guards or secret guards, but it can also be forged." The information pointed to the princesses, but the chain of evidence was vague.

The process of cutting out the flesh and pulling out the arrow was extremely brutal and bloody. Shen Ji gritted his teeth and cooperated with the military doctor, but his hands were surprisingly steady and his eyes never left Yun Chu's face, which was twitching with pain.

The love value soared to 85%, mixed with heartache, shock and a complex emotion of "accepting fate".

Yun Chu fainted briefly due to the great pain and the consumption of the antidote.

Gu Tingzhou made a quick decision: "We can't stay here for long! Immediately treat the seriously injured and quickly bandage the lightly injured. Abandon the damaged vehicles, and everyone must pile into available vehicles and move forward quickly. We must reach the nearest official post station or city before sunset!"

He knew that if the enemy failed to hit him with the first strike, he might have a backup plan.

The convoy set off again in a heavy and solemn atmosphere, but at a much faster speed.

The seriously injured Yun Chu was carefully placed in the most stable car. Shen Ji stood by silently, constantly wiping the cold sweat from her forehead with a wet cloth, his eyes complicated and difficult to read (pity, guilt, confusion, past and present lives intertwined and blurred at this moment).

Gu Tingzhou, Liu Rufeng and Bai Mo were in different positions, their vigilance levels were maxed out, but their hearts were extremely heavy because Yun Chu was seriously injured, and their love continued to settle and solidify in their worry.

The convoy rushed by, carrying a strong smell of blood. The wind in the valley seemed to carry murderous intent.
