"To reply Your Highness, there is a col northwest. The slope is steep and deep, but some of the small branches have been broken off." A dark guard hurried over from the front.
"Chengshan." At the same time that Duan Cheng Xuan spoke, he'd already spurred her horse to go to the northwest col, and her heart was in complete disorder.
This matter was too strange, yet it involved the Third Prince. The Third Prince had acted strangely, so it was not impossible for him to kill Gu Danyan in the chaos. Thinking of this, his heart became even more confused.
Along the way to the northwest side of the col, there were indeed some small branches that had been snapped. There were even two hoof prints in the nearby mud, and before Chengshan could send someone down, Duan Chengxuan had already flown down and was carefully searching.
However, there was only a single spring in the valley. There were also a few rags on the stones by the spring.
Duan Chengxuan's eyes dimmed and Cheng Shan, who followed closely behind, subconsciously took a step back. The guards behind him were all trembling in fear.
"Go find him!" Cheng Shan quickly sent people to look for it.
But only he knew that they'd never seen Duan Chengxuan in such a state outside of the battlefield.
It was the opposite of what he wished for. Everything seemed to be predestined.
Gu Liuyan did not feel the pain in his left leg, but Duan Chengrui managed to climb up the hill with great difficulty, and he searched around the dark forest. When he came back to his senses, Gu Daiyan had already stopped making a sound, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Duan Chengrui quickly put the person down, then he called out to her a few times without replying.
"Damn it." After swearing in a low voice, Duan Chengrui hurriedly took off the outer clothes on his body and wrapped them around her.
Her forehead was burning hot. If she did not deal with this wound, something might happen to her.
Duan Chengrui didn't dare to use force himself, so he only carried his in his arms and called her name without pause.
After walking for a short while, he heard the voices of the soldiers coming from afar. Duan Chenrui didn't have much strength left, so he quickly walked over and took care of both sides. Someone wanted to take Gu Mingyan over, but Duan Chenrui clenched his teeth and refused to allow it.
"Two will lead the way, the rest will follow." Duan Chengrui clenched his teeth.
Although this matter was done by the two ladies, Su Yuwan and Litchi, since the Second Prince had lost his power, he, Duan Chengrui, was the target of public criticism. He also had Crown Princess Jing in his arms.
Sure enough, a few of them had strange looks in their eyes. However, due to the orders of the third prince, they could only obediently follow behind.
At that moment, Gu Daiyan opened his eyes in a daze.
Duan Chengrui looked at her in surprise and lightly weighed his in his hand. Gu Daiyan finally groaned and opened her eyes. She directly placed her hand on her forehead and looked at the flames all around her: "We're at the tent?"
"Not yet." Duan Chengrui's voice was light.
The few soldiers behind him seemed to lower their heads. Duan Chengrui sneered and spoke in a louder voice, "Crown Princess Jing, I'm afraid that someone is deliberately trying to harm you this time around."
The people at the back were slightly surprised, but they completely stopped moving.
Duan Chengrui felt that he made the right bet, but in his heart he was wondering which prince was so intelligent that he actually had such a scheming mind.
The people behind him all had different goals. Some wanted to kill him, while others wanted to kill Gu Daiyan. Thus, after being asked and seen through, they all quieted down.
Gu Liuyan raised his eyebrows. It took him a while to react and he chuckled: "You're really smart."
"Thank you for your praise." Duan Chengrui felt helpless, but he quickened his pace as he wanted to return to the tent earlier.
At the same time, the other group of people had already swiftly passed the news to Duan Chengxuan.
After Duan Chengxuan received the news, he immediately brought his men to return. He was extremely furious when he found out that Duan Chengrui was extremely cautious, not allowing his men to ride on horses and lead him away, and even knew that Gu Xuan's left leg had been injured.
Before the battle, Duan Chengxuan had already caught up to the group.
Duan Chengrui only saw a black figure dash out from the forest, Duan Chengxuan's figure flashed and he had already firmly landed at Duan Chengrui's feet, then he received the still dazed Gu Daiyan into his embrace.
Gu Liuyan felt dazzled before her eyes. When she finally stopped, she saw Duan Chengxuan's eyes filled with killing intent and was shocked. She subconsciously opened her mouth and said, "I don't want to die."
"It's me." Duan Chengxuan was slightly stunned, then one of his hands lightly weighed the bottom of her knee.
Gu Poyan was in so much pain that he woke up a bit. His feeble palm directly slapped onto Duan Chenxuan's neck and he groaned, "It hurts!"
Hearing this, the light in Duan Chengrui's eyes vanished.
She wouldn't even say it in front of him. Mojo didn't trust him.
"I'll take you to the doctor." The killing intent around Duan Chengxuan completely disappeared and he used his Qing Gong to bring her to the side of the tent. He then called over quite a few doctors to help her straighten her bones.
Hearing the two words "Righteous Bones", Duan Chengxuan's heart tensed up. He could only stand by her bedside and tightly hold her hand as his eyes stared at the group of doctors. "Hurry up."
The doctors wiped the sweat off their foreheads and hurried over to help Gu Daiyan get to his feet.
The doctor had yet to move but was still fiddling with his bones when Gu Daiyan grabbed Duan Chengxuan and laughed, "It feels like I'm having a child, with a husband watching by the side."
"You are asking for a beating." Duan Chengxuan glared at her. Why does this person always treat his own life as nothing?
"You still dare to say that? Stop hitting me, my body is weak …" "Hm." Gu Mingyan hadn't finished speaking when she heard a cracking sound. That bone was just perfect. Gu Pingyan frowned and immediately broke out in sweat. However, when the doctor helped her wrap the wound, he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.
Duan Chengxuan pinched her shoulder. "Cry out if you're in pain."
Gu Mingyan rolled her eyes at him, and Duan Chengxuan thought that she was really in extreme pain, so he didn't move. Only after the doctors had finished tormenting him, did Gu Pingyan feebly lean on his shoulder and say, "If you accompany me at the door, I'll scream."
"Why?" Duan Cheng Xuan brought her some water.
"Of course it's to make you worry about me. Like me." Gu Danyan chuckled, took a sip of water, and then ate a bit of meat porridge before leaning on Duan Chengxuan's shoulder without a sound.
Duan Chengxuan waited for a while before lightly putting the person down, then instructed the person to circle around the perimeter of the tent before standing before Cheng Shan.
Killing intent suddenly emerged, and Duan Chengxuan's eyes seemed to become slightly dimmer under the moonlight.
"Find the culprit."
"Yes." Dozens of voices came from the wind. As the last syllable was spoken, the wind around them suddenly stopped.
Cheng Shan half-knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
The prince was angry because of Gu Liuyan.
Su Yu Wan who was at the far corner of the street saw everything and her heart felt like it was on the verge of death.
She had once seen Duan Cheng Xuan in this state, but that time, it was someone else who wanted to kill her in front of Duan Cheng Xuan.
But now, he actually cared about being patient for Gu Liuyan, and it only exploded out when he left!
