Compared to Mu Sheng, Wei Duhong's situation was much better. After a few days of treatment, her body recovered quickly. The injuries on her body weren't as serious as Mu Ying's. At that time, it seemed quite serious, but as more and more blood was spat out, the accumulated blood from her internal injuries was completely cleaned up, which was very beneficial to her body.
On the contrary, after Mu Ying attacked Wei Duohong with all his might, he forcefully suppressed the blood in his body for a long time. And because he was angry with Xue Ruyun, a lump of muffled air pressed against his chest, preventing it from escaping for a long time. This Qi and blood were all stuck in his chest. Coupled with the fact that his mind had suffered a mental blow, it was due to this that Mu Ying was unable to wake up for a long time.
Xue Ruoyun was so busy that he was disoriented. Not only did he have to settle everyone on the Pirates' Island, he also had to calm down everyone's emotions from time to time. He also had to take care of Wei Duohong, so as to prevent many of those worried about her from rushing into the room to check on the Great King's condition. Since he was injured and had yet to tell everyone that she was a girl, it would be inconvenient for him.
Xue Ruyun seemed to be extremely busy, but every time she had some time to rest, she would absentmindedly look down from the island with a look of worry on her face.
Actually, Wei Duhong could tell that Xue Ruyun was very absent-minded every day. In her heart, she was always worried about that person. Every day, she was worried about Mu Ying, but she couldn't bring herself to say it out loud. Actually, the people beside her could tell that this woman, Xue Ruoyun, had already taken a fancy to Mu Ying. It was just that they didn't notice it.
On that day, Xue Luoyun fed Wei Duohong medicine, and as he fed the medicine, he lost his mind.
"Hai." Wei Duohong shook his head. "What are you thinking about?" Wei Duhong patted her on the shoulder and asked even though he already knew the answer.
"Oh, no, nothing." Xue Ruyun finally reacted, and the medicine stuck on Wei Duohong's face.
"Ah... "You …"
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to." Xue Ruyun reacted, hurriedly looking for something to wipe it off.
"What are you doing?" After looking for a while, he saw Xue Ruyun come up with a tablecloth.
"I'll wipe your mouth." As he spoke, Xue Luoyun walked up.
"No, no, no. I'll do it myself." Wei Duohong didn't know whether to laugh or cry and hurriedly waved his hands.
Xue Luoyun embarrassedly threw the tablecloth, "I'm sorry, I …"
"Forget it," Wei Duohong smiled helplessly. "I know what you're thinking. You're worried about General Mu, right?" She also knew that it was this person, Xue Luoyun, who had brought up this topic many times, that had caused her to lose her wits.
"I wonder how Mu Ying is doing." Xue Ruyun dejectedly sat down.
He must have expended a lot of physical strength and cultivated a lot when he fought with Wei Duohong that day. If he hadn't seen his strong state at that time, even Xue Ruoyun would have suspected that he was heavily injured.
In fact, Xue Luoyun had always thought of going to Mu Sheng's barracks to see him, but because the island was busy, and both sides were like fire and water, it wasn't very convenient for him. So every time she started down the hill, she came back.
"Mu Sheng had originally misunderstood his relationship with Wei Duohong. I can't give him a reasonable explanation right now, so it's better not to provoke him." It would not be good for everyone if he got angry and rushed up the mountain to take Wei Duhong's life. It was probably the best for him to maintain his current state.
With these thoughts in mind, Xue Ruoyun once again gave up on the idea of seeing Mu Ying. Upon thinking of how he had looked when he left him that day, his body should have been in good shape, Xue Luoyun consoled himself.
But what if he was holding on? Xue Ruyun's relaxed brows wrinkled again.
When he saw that she was starting to lose herself again, he worried that something had happened to her since she had been gone for a long time. Now he saw her expression changing again and again, sometimes worried, sometimes sweet, sometimes relaxed, sometimes nervous. It seemed like he was thinking about something.
Wei Duohong helplessly smiled and walked out of the bed.
"Hey, why did you come down? You haven't recovered yet, you should just lie down. " Upon seeing Wei Duohong walk over, she hurriedly supported her with her hands full of worry.
"No need, it's alright. My body recovered very quickly, so I'm not that delicate." Wei Duhong waved his hand and sat down.
"Actually, Mu Sheng is quite impressive." Wei Duohong recalled that ever since he started cultivating martial arts, he was soon able to master his current achievements due to the amazing skeleton and the wisdom and hard work.
Thinking back, after so many years, Wei Duhong was invincible throughout the world. However, he had never met an opponent as strong as Mu Hao. Each and every one of his moves were flawless and ferocious, each and every one fatal. He could still stand there calmly and majestically even after a series of intense battles.
But as a martial artist, Wei Duohong also knew that Mu Sheng was injured. Moreover, at that time when he had used all his strength, his body would have definitely suffered a backlash.
"Presumably, his condition isn't as good as he appears to be." Wei Duohong speculated to himself.
"What did you say?" When Xue Ruyun heard up to this point, he was greatly shocked. His hands trembled as he stood up.
"Are you saying that Mu Sheng might have been seriously injured, but he was trying his best to hold it in?" Xue Moyan's eyes widened as he repeated the words of Wei Duhong in disbelief.
Wei Duohong nodded his head. "We can't rule out that possibility. However, I don't really understand General Mu, so I was just guessing. Maybe his body is different from ordinary people. " Wei Duohong wasn't sure.
"Ah!" After hearing what Wei Duhong had to say, Xue Luoyun dropped down into her chair. She should have guessed it long ago.
"However, if you are worried about him, you should directly go and ask him about his situation." Wei Duohong knew that Xue Ruyun was worried about him, so he didn't want to delay them. What if he missed it?
After hearing what she said, Xue Ruyun was extremely shocked. She got up and was about to go see Mu Sheng. However, just as she reached the door, she came back dejectedly.
"I think he probably doesn't want to see me right now. It's better not to provoke him. I didn't say I wanted you to go. You can just send someone to investigate his situation and report back.
"That's fine too."
As the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard someone cheering happily outside.
One of them said, "Have you heard? The general sent by the imperial government to encircle and annihilate the army is the one who fought against our King the other day. He is now very ill and will not be able to wake up. "I guess, in two or three days, they will withdraw their troops and we can resume our previous days."
"Ah, yes? Are you for real? You can't be bragging, right? " The other person was suspicious.
"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes..."
"How did you know?!" This person wanted to prove that he wasn't bragging, but suddenly, Xue Ruoyun rushed out of the room and grabbed his neck, as if she wanted to break it.
"Speak!" How did you know about this?! " Xue Luoyun was so angry that he was almost unable to control himself. Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and the veins in her snow-white arm were bulging. Even her voice was trembling slightly.
He had never seen her so terrible. He had lost all sense of reason.
Wei Duohong quickly took her hand and patted her back lightly. "It's okay, it's okay. We're not in a hurry." As she spoke, she slowly tried to pry her hand away.
Only then did Xue Ruyun relax a bit. He let go of his hand, and that person almost suffocated as he quickly breathed out in large mouthfuls of air.
"Thank, thank you for saving my life, Great King." The man gasped his thanks.
Wei Duohong glanced at him, and immediately ordered in a stern voice, "What were you all whispering about just now, report this right away."
"Yes, my lord."
"On that day, we brothers were the last to go, and we were the last to go. When we reached the top of the mountain, I turned my head and saw General Mu spitting out blood and falling to the ground. At that time, I thought it was just some light injuries, but I didn't expect that I would sneak over to take a look. He heard two soldiers worrying over there. I listened attentively and realised that their General Mu had not woken up since he fainted that day. I reckon that he will not be able to live for long. " After the pirate finished speaking in a single breath, he looked towards Wei Duhong and Xue Ruoyun, fearing that he had said something wrong that would lead to a fatal disaster.
Xue Moyan let out a great sigh and retreated two steps. She couldn't even stand steadily. Wei Duohong held onto her waist and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Xue Ruyun only felt dizzy and dizzy. Her vision was pitch-black, and her heart tightened to the point that she didn't even care about breathing. She took a few deep breaths and then became more clear-headed. She stood up and stumbled as she was about to leave, "Mu Ying, I want to go see Mu Ying!"
Wei Duohong held her back. "They've already surrounded the island. I heard General Mu's order to kill anyone who dares to go down the mountain."
"Then I can't care so much." Xue Ruyun shook off Wei Duohong's hand, did not listen to his persuasion, directly picked up his treasured sword, and crazily rushed down the mountain.
"Hey, wait for me." Wei Duohong was not at ease with her current state. He turned around to retrieve his folding fan, and without caring about the fact that he was still injured, he quickly chased after her.
When Xue Ruyun reached the foot of the mountain, he discovered that rows of soldiers were patrolling back and forth in formation, preventing anyone from escaping from the mountain.
Xue Luoyun couldn't care so much. She drew her sword and prepared to charge forward. At this time, Wei Duohong rushed over and stopped her, "Don't be rash."
Xue Ruoyun turned around and saw Wei Duohong. "Why are you here, your injuries …"
"Don't worry, don't say so much. They have more people now, so we can't fight them, nor should we cause a conflict. Especially now that the two sides are at loggerheads, if you are impetuous at this time, it might cause even more friction between the two sides. " With his calm analysis, Wei Duohong knew that Xue Luoyun had already lost all sense of reason.
Hearing Wei Duohong's words, Xue Ruoyun stopped herself, "I was careless, but what should I do now? "Tell me!" She was too impatient.
Wei Duohong rolled his eyes. "Follow me, I'm familiar with the routes to this pirate island. I know of a place where the defenses are loose." Saying so, he walked forward with the two of them.
