The saber blade was instantly pulled out from their bodies, and blood splattered all over the two of them.
The people behind Duan Cheng Xuan had long since dealt with the surrounding people. The soldiers of Er Dan rushed over under the command of the ghosts and ghosts. They only saw the ground full of bloody corpses, and Duan Cheng Xuan's black robes were dripping with blood.
He threw the body to the side and half knelt in the pool of blood. He used his eyes, which were filled with killing intent, to seriously look at Gu Pingyan and carefully hold her hand with his clean hand.
A strange sound came from Gu Daiyan's throat.
However, Duan Cheng Xuan lightly retracted his hand and only helped her pull away her clothes before saying in a gentle voice, "It's fine now."
Gu Liuyan was dazed for a moment as she carefully glanced at Duan Chenxuan. She then tore off the clean cloth from her sleeve and wrapped it around the palm that had been pierced through.
"Let me do it." Duan Chengxuan probed with his hand, but this time Gu Danyan did not refuse.
While allowing Duan Chengxuan to wrap up the wound on his hand, someone beside him had already brought clean water for him to pass to his side. However, Gu Danyan had already supported himself on the tree trunk and stood up. "I'm going to wash."
Duan Chengxuan used his gaze to stop the people around him from approaching him, then he followed behind Gu Daiyan as they slowly headed towards the river.
Her foot was injured, and she should not have been allowed to walk so stubbornly.
But for some reason, Duan Chengxuan's only reasoning told him that if he were to really touch her, something extremely terrifying would happen.
The cold water ran up to his ankles.
The pain was so intense that it pierced his heart. Gu Pingyan bit his lips and did not take a step forward. He just sat down in the river and ruthlessly rubbed his blood-stained clothes in the water.
"Let me help you." Duan Cheng Xuan sat beside her and extended his hand towards her.
"No need." There was a hint of viciousness in Gu Danyan's words, as his hair was messed up and he was rubbing the blood on his body.
But she did not stop until the blood had been washed away.
The palm that was pierced continuously dripped with blood, landing on the dress in her hands.
"Everything is fine now, leave it to me." The blood on Duan Chengxuan's body was almost all cleaned up, and the killing intent hadn't completely disappeared yet. In the next moment, he grabbed Gu Daiyan's hand, and Gu Daiyan fiercely bit his wrist.
Probably bleeding.
Ignoring her struggles, he pulled her into his embrace. As he heard the sounds of her crying continued to come out of her throat, he held onto her waist forcefully with one hand while the other hand had no choice but to grab onto her injured hand. He shouted towards his two lackeys on the shore, "Take off your outer robes and give it to me!"
Only then did Duan Chengxuan let go of the hand that was clamping down on her wrist. He then supported her up by her knees and directly carried his horizontally, but then forcefully buckled her shoulders and knees, not allowing her to struggle free.
By the time the soldiers arrived, the man reputed to be the Navy Tide War God was using the ruthlessness of the battlefield to cover the struggling Gu Ming with his clothes, press his knee against her legs, press his elbow against the tree trunk, and meticulously bandage the wound on her palm with a clean and fine cloth.
Behind his back were countless corpses and fresh blood, as well as a long blade that was thrown to the ground.
"You can't do this to His Highness!" Some of the soldiers could not take it any longer. At the very least, she was their princess!
"Shut up." Duan Chengxuan practically squeezed out these two words from the gaps between his teeth, and when he turned his head to the side, only then did someone see the teeth marks on his shoulder and wrist; they were bleeding profusely.
"Let me go! "You bastard!" Gu Liuyan also shouted in a hoarse voice. She wanted to try and move, but she could only use her bloodshot eyes to glare at him: "I'm fine! I can take care of it myself! "
"Say that again?" Duan Cheng Xuan looked at her coldly, and the force of the bandage on her hand increased.
"Stay away from me! I shouldn't have known you from the beginning! "I definitely won't do that for the rest of my life …"
In the next moment, Duan Chengxuan grabbed her shoulders and used his lips to block her words. The hand that was used to blades also grabbed her waist, and only sucked the blood from her lips into his mouth before gently releasing her. He held her face with both hands and stuck his nose close to hers, "With me protecting you now, I won't let you give any living children to you.
"I'm yours, and yours for the rest of your life."
With that, Gu Daiyan finally moved closer to him and leaned on his shoulder. Her wet hair stroked his neck and after taking a deep breath, she gently lifted her hand and put it around his waist: "I thought …" "Rhinoceros …"
"You should think about Qingze. That is the best gift the heavens have given you." Duan Chengxuan also softly embraced his into his embrace, almost maintaining this posture as if he were hugging a child. He lifted her up with one hand and let her curl up into his embrace. His swollen and aching ankle was slightly unnatural, yet it was still curled up due to the pain.
"How painful." Duan Chengxuan pulled out a hand and touched her ankle.
"My leg might be broken." Gu Liuyan's voice became a lot softer.
Duan Chengxuan rubbed her head as he usually did when he was comforting Qing Ze, then he asked the soldiers, "Find a clean place to set up camp and send people to look for a tent. Stay here for a few days."
"But in the end, this is the wilderness, if someone …"
"Her health isn't good. Don't let her travel. The carriage won't do either. Do as I say." Duan Chengxuan's voice was still light as he looked at the person he brought along. "Send someone to tell Third Prince that I'll be stationed here and have him send people to surround and annihilate the bandits in the surroundings, so as to ensure his safety."
"Yes." The few of them quickly left.
Some of the remaining Erdan soldiers went to find a clean place, while the others went to deal with the mess.
By the time everything was ready, it was already the middle of the sky.
Duan Chengxuan didn't let Gu Danyan take a step away from him, and even the doctor who called him over was rather helpless. He could only follow Duan Chengxuan's instructions and help Gu Mingyan wrap up the wounds on his body.
Duan Cheng Xuan placed her on the soft bed. She had originally wanted to leave, but now, she simply changed into a set of clean clothes and helped her clean herself up before climbing onto the bed and putting her in her embrace.
Chengshan came in and said, "My lord, Ai Xianzi is not dead yet."
"Save him and send him back to the dungeon to torture him. Let the people from the Yue Shan city set off and attack any city in the Jiang Yan border. Put Ai Xianzi's head on the wall." Duan Chengxuan's voice was light and gentle, and his fingertip was still stuck in Gu Daiyan's hair. "Tell that old man that if he moves even the slightest bit more, I'll make him raze the river to the ground."
Cheng Shan felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had forgotten about Gu Danyan's identity.
Duan Chengxuan's actions weren't considered to be to rush to the top in anger for the sake of a beautiful woman, but it was only for the sake of a majesty that the two great Kingdoms wouldn't allow to intrude.
