Peach Blossoms in Chang'an

Amidst the flashing swords and shadows, Hu Bugui was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and with every ruthless move, he repelled the enemies that rushed into the village one by one. Wu Tao was held hostage by the man in black, running wildly in the night, anxious but unable to do anything. In the chaos, she was thrown aside by the man in black, and fell into the haystack, unconscious.

When she woke up again, she saw the familiar bed curtains. Chun Tao was standing by the bed with tears streaming down her face. "Miss, you finally woke up!"

Wu Tao struggled to sit up, feeling a splitting headache, "Chun Tao, what happened? Where's Hu Bugui?"

"Miss, don't worry, Mr. Hu..." Chuntao hesitated, her eyes full of worry.

"What's wrong with him? Tell me quickly!" Wu Tao had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this time, the miracle doctor walked in from outside, his face solemn, "Miss Wu, you are awake."

"Miracles doctor, where is Hu Bugui? How is he?" Wu Tao asked anxiously.

The doctor sighed and said, "Mr. Hu... went alone to track down the man in black in order to protect you."

"What?" Wu Tao was struck by lightning, his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted. "How could he do this? Does he know how dangerous that man in black is?"

"Mr. Hu said that only by finding the man in black can we uncover the secret about you and ensure your safety." The doctor explained.

"I don't need him to be like this! Does he know that he is risking his life by doing this?" Wu Tao couldn't hold back her tears any longer and burst out. She struggled to get out of bed, but was stopped by the miracle doctor, "Miss Wu, calm down. You are weak now and can't move."

"Let me go! I want to find him! I want to bring him back!" Wu Tao struggled desperately, but to no avail.

"It's useless. Mr. Hu has made up his mind and no one can change his decision." The doctor shook his head helplessly.

Wu Tao collapsed on the bed helplessly, tears blurring her eyes, "How could he do this to me? How could he..."

"He will be fine, miss, don't worry, Mr. Hu is a lucky man..." Chuntao choked up as she comforted him, but she couldn't hide the trembling in her voice.

Wu Tao seemed not to hear anything, and just murmured to himself: "How could he do this, how could he..."

The genius doctor looked at Wu Tao with a complicated expression, and finally spoke with difficulty: "Miss Wu, I must tell you that Mr. Hu's trip... is extremely dangerous, and he is in great danger..."

"It was a narrow escape from death..." Wu Tao raised her head suddenly, and the last glimmer of light in her eyes went out. She felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave, and the bone-chilling cold instantly overwhelmed her.

She leaned against the bed weakly, her face as pale as paper, bloodless. The words of the miracle doctor kept echoing in her mind, and every word was like a sharp blade, piercing her heart fiercely.

She never thought that Hu Bugui would choose such a dangerous road for her. He knew that this journey was dangerous, but he embarked on the journey without hesitation, leaving her alone in this cold room.

"No, he will be fine, definitely not..." Wu Tao shook his head desperately, trying to deny the miracle doctor's words, but found that his voice was trembling so badly that even he couldn't convince himself.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and several men in tight clothes entered one after another. They knelt on one knee, clasped their fists, and said in a deep voice: "Your subordinates are here to see the madam!"

They were Hu Bugui's confidants. When they learned that their master had left, they rushed over immediately, wanting to follow and protect him.

"Madam, please let our subordinates go with the young master and protect him!" One of them looked up and spoke in a firm tone.

"Yes, ma'am, we are willing to sacrifice our lives for you, even if it means death!" Others also pleaded.

However, before Wu Tao could open his mouth, Hu Bugui's deep voice came from outside the door: "You all go back, I have made up my mind."

"Young Master!" Everyone was shocked.

"This is my choice. No one needs to persuade me." Hu Bugui said in an unquestionable tone, "Protect my wife. If I...if I can't come back, you take her away and find a safe place to live in seclusion."

Everyone wanted to persuade him again, but Hu Bugui stopped them with a look, so they had to lower their heads helplessly. Wu Tao stood up suddenly, stumbled to the table, grabbed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and all kinds of strange ideas emerged in her mind. She wanted to find a way to help Hu Bugui! She didn't believe that she couldn't find a glimmer of hope with her knowledge from the modern world!

She wrote furiously, trying to find inspiration from modern technology. However, the cold reality dragged her back into the abyss of despair again and again. There was no electricity, no internet, no advanced equipment, and all the technology she knew was like a fantasy here, useless.

"Is there really no way?" Wu Tao slumped weakly in the chair, tears blurring his vision.

At this time, the knights who had been silent all this time looked at each other. One of the older knights stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Madam, although we are not talented, we also want to do our best. I wonder what exactly is the purpose of Mr. Hu's trip? Perhaps we can help."

Wu Tao seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and quickly told Hu Bugui the purpose of his trip and the difficulties he encountered.

After hearing this, the knights' faces became solemn. Although they had been in the martial arts world for many years and had great martial arts skills, they had never heard of the mysterious man described by Hu Bugui and the strange power he possessed.

"Madam, please forgive me for being frank. This matter is too dangerous. We..."

"No, I beg you, you must think of a way!" Wu Tao interrupted him, his eyes full of pleading, "I know this is dangerous, but I can't just watch him die! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up!"

The knights were silent. They were moved by Wu Tao's determination and affection, and even more shocked by Hu Bugui's determination.

"Madam, we will do our best!" The older knight finally nodded and agreed.

However, even they seem to be somewhat overwhelmed in the face of this unknown challenge.

As night fell, the stars twinkled, but they could not illuminate Wu Tao's mood at the moment. She came to the courtyard alone, looking at the vast starry sky, with mixed feelings in her heart. This starry sky was no different from the modern night sky she was familiar with, but she was in a different world, and her beloved was still alive or dead. In her eyes, this starry sky was so strange and cold.

"Hu Bugui, you must come back safely..." Wu Tao clasped her hands together and prayed silently to the starry sky, tears silently sliding down her cheeks. She hoped that all this was just a nightmare, and after waking up, she could still see his familiar smiling face and hear his gentle voice.

However, the words of the miracle doctor and the helplessness of the knights reminded her that all this was a cruel reality. Hu Bugui's journey was extremely dangerous. He was like a meteor, rushing into the darkness without hesitation, just to leave her the last light.

"I don't want you to become a shooting star, I want you to live well and come back to me..." Wu Tao choked up, her voice was blown away by the night wind, and she seemed particularly helpless. How she wished that he could be with her at this moment, even if he just sat quietly and said nothing, it would be enough to make her feel at ease.

Suddenly, a strange smell came, Wu Tao looked up suddenly, and saw a dazzling red light across the night sky, like a meteorite, dragging a long tail flame, falling towards the distance.

Wu Tao's heart tightened, and an inexplicable sense of fear instantly overwhelmed her. That red light, that falling direction... Could it be...
