She checked him over from head to toe and found bloodstains on his chest. She had initially thought it was from those people! But it turned out to be his! Forgetting all about ladylike modesty, she took off a bit of his shirt and discovered a deep, long gash on his chest!
Yi Yunmu was astonished. How could this person, with such serious injuries, walk for so long and even carry her?
Yi Yun Muchen examined his wound and knew it needed to be cleaned up, so she pulled his clothes up and then went around looking for water to wash the wound, otherwise it would get infected!
After searching for a long time, she finally brought the water back in a lotus leaf, taking a large mouthful herself. She walked a long way before returning to his side. Yi Yun Muchen immediately poured the water little by little into his wound, and he instantly felt the pain and couldn't help but groan.
Yi Yunmu Chen tore off a piece of his clothes, soaked it in the water, and gently cleaned his wound.
At this moment, Bei Gong Jue Shi's chest heaved, his strong heartbeat almost audible. But Yi Yun Muchen's attention wasn't on that. After carefully washing him, she took some painkillers from her own person and applied them to his wounds. Immediately, he cried out, "It hurts!"
Yi Yunmu Chen remained oblivious, focusing intently on his work. Only after finishing did he notice the mouthful of water in his mouth. He was about to swallow it when he suddenly cried out, "Water! I need water!"
She looked up and saw that his lips were chapped, probably due to dehydration from his injury.
Yi Yun Muchen thought for a moment, then leaned in and gently poured water over his lips. He slowly drank it all.
Yi Yun Muchen felt his heart pounding faster and faster; he had really messed with someone he shouldn't have!
He finished drinking the water and slowly opened his eyes, his mind gradually clearing. At this point, the pain in his chest didn't seem so bad anymore. However, looking at the person sitting next to him, Bei Gong Jue Shi remembered what he had just done to him!
This grown man—no, this brat—was actually giving him the water from his mouth to drink?! Bei Gong Jue Shi was utterly bewildered! Was he really about to become a homosexual? Ah! No!
No, that was just an emergency, it doesn't count, it doesn't count!
Yi Yunmu Chen, of course, had no idea what he was thinking. Seeing him wake up, he said, "I don't know how I ended up in the cannibal city."
"You definitely didn't remember what I said!" Bei Gong Jue Shi's expression changed upon hearing this. "I told you before, you must avoid the cannibal city! It's not something you can afford to mess with!" Damn it, if I hadn't gone to check if he had set off or taken the wrong path, I would never have turned back! I never expected to see him enter the cannibal city so stupidly! Even I was surprised!
"I know. I was wrong. But I really don't know the way." Yi Yunmu Chen looked at him. "Can you take me there? If you don't want to go into the city, you can stay outside and I'll go in by myself."
"Hmph! You can't even find your way with a map in hand, what can you possibly say?"
"Please. Besides, your injury hasn't healed yet, so it's best not to move around too much. It would be even better if someone took care of you!" Yi Yun Muchen said, trying to achieve his goal. Seeing that he didn't speak, Yi Yun Muchen narrowed his eyes. "I just applied some medicine to your wound, which is very helpful for your health. If you can come to the capital with me, I will definitely heal you completely, and I won't even leave you with a scar!"
Bei Gong Jue Shi really wanted to laugh. He got injured for her sake, right? Now it seems like she gave him a free ride.
"Alright, if you don't want to agree, then forget it." Seeing that he didn't speak, Yi Yunmu Chen took out a small bottle from her bosom and placed it in his hand. "You saved my life, thank you! The medicine in this bottle should be applied every three days until you feel no more itching or pain. I'm leaving."
Yi Yunmu looked at him, then got up to grab her bag and leave.
"You heartless bastard, you're already thinking of running away?" Bei Gong Jue Shi suddenly said.
Yi Yunmu Chen turned around, "You, you agreed?"
He nodded slightly.
——
After quite some time, Ji Wushang could tell how much time had passed just by looking at the sky. Listening to the wind and the rustling of the grass around him, Ji Wushang immediately rolled over and squatted down in the grass, nudging Ji Wusi with his hand, "Wuzi, quick, get up!"
"Sister!" Ji Wusi knew that Huangfu Ting must have arrived with his men.
Ji Wushang looked at the opposite side, and then looked behind him.
At this moment, from the high mountain behind, they saw Huangfu Ting wearing a silver mask, exuding an aura of dominance, sitting on his lion-like steed, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, his eyes beneath the mask even more piercing.
Ji Wushang was stunned and lost in thought. This was him! The one wearing the silver mask! It was him! He hadn't expected it to be him! He had tried to kill him time and again! He was the one who broke into his boudoir at night and then threatened him not to kill Ji Yinxue! So that's it. No wonder he had always been confused about why he kept asking about Ji Yinxue. Could he be working for Ji Yinxue?
Ji Wusi tugged at Ji Wushang's sleeve, "Sister, they're here!"
"Hide. Hurry." Ji Wushang snapped out of his daze, looked at him, and whispered something in his ear. Ji Wusi nodded repeatedly.
Ji Wushang and Ji Wusi crawled on the grass, slowly moving towards the river.
At this moment, several arrows were already being shot towards Ji Wushang and his companion!
Ji Wushang pulled Ji Wusi to hide together. When he turned around, he saw that Huangfu Ting had already led his men to rush over. Ji Wushang suddenly took out a small pill from his body.
"Quick!" Ji Wushang shouted. Immediately, Ji Wusi, disregarding the cold water, quietly plunged into the stream.
Ji Wushang threw the small pill on the ground, and suddenly a plume of smoke rose up. Ji Wushang also threw a small pill towards the opposite side, and immediately, the surrounding smoke filled the air. Ji Wushang took off his hairpin and threw it as far as possible up the mountain!
Seeing that there was nothing left, Ji Wushang's hair was a little disheveled, but without hesitation, she plunged into the stream.
I'm not a very good swimmer, but my will to survive is stronger than ever!
Huangfu Ting had already drawn his bow to its fullest extent, intending to fire the arrow, when he suddenly saw a cloud of smoke! Moreover, the area affected was expanding!
"I really underestimated her!" Huangfu Ting snorted angrily. "Quick, find her!"
Immediately, those people began to search the surrounding area in a wide-ranging, net-like fashion.
Ji Wushang, holding Ji Wusi's hand, finally climbed out of the water. Knowing that they shouldn't stay there any longer, she said, "Come on, your older sister will take you somewhere!"
The more dangerous the place, the safer it is! The area down the mountain will definitely be surrounded. Going down there would be like walking into a trap! It's better to stay somewhere he doesn't expect for half an hour. By the time he finds out, it will be too late, and he'll have nothing to say!
But how do I get in?
Huangfu Ting's camp was not open to anyone.
Ji Wushang looked at Ji Wusi's clothes and then said, "Wuzi, it's time to see your skills."
"Yes!" Ji Wusi nodded.
Ji Wushang led him closer to Huangfu Ting's camp. Huangfu Ting led his men up the mountain to search for Ji Wusi and Ji Wushang, so naturally there were fewer people left to guard the camp. Moreover, Ji Wushang had just made a bet with him at the hunting grounds, so naturally the people guarding the camp didn't know what was happening outside!
Seeing that there were few people around, Ji Wushang whispered a few words in Ji Wusi's ear, patted his shoulder, and signaled him to be careful.
If Ji Wusi hadn't changed into that little armor when he took him to see the training ground, Ji Wushang would never have let him go out and take risks!
Ji Wusi nodded silently and stepped forward. The patrolling guards were patrolling in twos and threes. After the patrolling guards left, Ji Wusi went up to the guard standing in a secluded spot and patted him on the shoulder. "Guard, I saw someone suddenly run by over there. I don't know who it was!"
"Really? Where?" The guard looked at Ji Wusi's small stature and assumed he wouldn't lie; he was just a little kid, so he naturally lowered his guard.
"Here, I'll take you!" Ji Wusi took his hand and walked to the side. The guard looked the man over and, finding nothing wrong, immediately followed Ji Wusi with peace of mind.
Unexpectedly, Ji Wusi led his men to a relatively open and deserted place, then let go of his hand. The guard shouted, "Where is he?"
"Bang!" Ji Wusi jumped up and punched the guard on the head. It was unclear how much force he used, but the guard immediately fell to the ground!
Ji Wushang quickly stepped forward from the side and reached out to check the guard's breath. Ji Wusi was also a little shocked. If the guard was dead, wouldn't this be the first time he had killed someone?
"He's still breathing, don't worry," Ji Wushang comforted him, then took out a pill from his pocket and gave it to the guard. "That should put him to sleep for a few hours. Come on, help him to the side!"
Ji Wusi immediately stepped forward to help.
Ji Wushang and the other person immediately headed towards Huangfu Ting's tent. Ji Wushang kept his head down, wearing the same armor that the guard had just worn. He had originally thought that Ji Wusi could wear it, but Ji Wusi was too young. Although he was eight years old, his bones had not yet fully developed. Wearing the armor, Ji Wushang felt clumsy and his whole body looked even shorter.
"What are you doing!" the guard shouted as soon as he saw Ji Wushang and Ji Wusi about to go in.
"Take this brat in and have him help tidy up the Second Prince's tent!" Ji Wushang said in a low voice without hesitation.
The guard glanced at Ji Wusi, whose adorable expression reminded him of his own child, so he stopped interfering and said, "Hurry up!"
"Yes!" Ji Wushang nodded, then gestured to Ji Wusi, and the two of them went in smoothly.
Once inside, Ji Wushang immediately changed his clothes, as the armor was simply too heavy!
Huangfu Ting couldn't understand why they couldn't be found! His men had been searching, but one by one they all said they couldn't find them!
Huangfu Ting narrowed his eyes. "They're definitely in this area; they couldn't have gone far! If you can't find them, you can come back with your heads!"
Immediately, his men all frantically searched for him.
Huangfu Ting was getting a little anxious. Damn it, had it sprouted wings and flown away?
Just then, a guard ran down from the mountain and knelt down in front of Huangfu Ting. "Your Highness, we have found this white jade hairpin. It must have been dropped by Miss Ji by accident!" he said, presenting it to Huangfu Ting with both hands.
Huangfu Ting took the white jade hairpin and played with it in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Trying to escape my grasp? Trying to outlast me?"
"Encirclement and annihilation, search the mountain!" His thin lips moved slightly.
However, when all was in vain, Huangfu Ting fell silent, his face turning ashen and dark.
I've searched the entire mountain, but there's not a soul in sight. Did they really fly away?
Her own men are guarding the foot of the mountain; going down is certain death! Going up is the only way to survive; she should choose to go up! She doesn't truly want her dead; after all, she's still useful! It's just that Ji Wusi deserves to die; it'll be good for her to suffer a little!
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" A guard, unsure of what to do, stepped forward to ask for instructions.
Huangfu Ting glanced at him coldly, and the guard was terrified. He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, spare my life! I was worried about Your Highness... uh."
It was impossible to see how he made his move, but the guard was already lying on the ground with his neck crooked and lifeless.
Huangfu Ting felt nothing at all, stepped over the corpse, and walked out.
"Go down the mountain and search!" Huangfu Ting said coldly.
Looking at the sky, I realized that half an hour had already passed... Had I underestimated her? Or were she and her brother already dead?
Ji Wushang looked at the sky, at the slanting rays of the sun shining on the grass and trees, and said happily, "Wu Zi, we won!"
"Really?" Ji Wusi exclaimed in surprise. Was this how he was able to survive?
Ji Wushang nodded, "Later, you must be careful. The Second Prince won't release people easily. I'm afraid he'll change his mind, so you must be careful!"
The people outside had been searching, but they never expected that the two of them had already entered Huangfu Ting's tent!
Huangfu Ting descended the mountain in a fit of rage. Upon hearing the guards' report that Ji Wushang and the other person still couldn't be found, Huangfu Ting was so angry that he wanted to tear down the training ground and find Ji Wushang!
Furious, Huangfu Ting led his men back to his tent. As soon as he entered, he smelled an odd fragrance. He knew his own tent best; he never allowed anyone to spray perfume on it. But as soon as he entered, the wind blew in, and through the air, he smelled a strange fragrance.
It was very comforting, but that wasn't what Huangfuting was concerned about.
He rushed in, only to find Ji Wushang and Ji Wusi standing in the hall, seemingly having waited for him for a long time.
"Greetings, Second Prince." Both of them bowed.
Huangfu Ting was somewhat shocked. "How did you get in?!" His voice was almost a shout!
Ji Wushang smiled. "Your Highness should keep your promise."
"Hmph!" Huangfu Ting sneered, "Trespassing on a prince's tent, what is the punishment? Execution is warranted!"
"Second Prince, you said we could hide anywhere we wanted for half an hour! As long as we're still alive after that half hour, you wouldn't pursue the matter any further!" Ji Wushang looked at him coldly. "Second Prince, your word is law. You wouldn't break your promise, would you?"
Huangfu Ting smiled and looked at her. Her hair was loose and falling down because she no longer had a hairpin, and it was still half wet because she had just been in the water.
Huangfu Ting looked at her, "You crossed the water?"
"Yes." Ji Wushang looked at him, his imposing manner undiminished.
"Alright!" Huangfu Ting looked at her. "Ji Wushang, this time, I'll let you off the hook! But next time, you definitely won't be so lucky!"
"Thank you, Second Prince!" We'll deal with the rest later!
Then I won't need to go find my grandmother... Ji Wushang breathed a sigh of relief. This Second Prince of the Underworld is really not someone I can mess with! However, if he dares to harm Ji Wusi, I will definitely not hesitate to plunge a dagger into his chest!
