Chapter 240

Wrapped in a cloak and carried out of the cave, Wei Hanzhang raised his eyes and saw Chen Zishu standing under a towering tree, looking quietly at him in the light of torches.

She was slightly startled, and before she could recover, she felt her waist tighten and she was lifted onto the horse.

He covered the girl in his arms tightly, Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on Chen Zishu, whose face was so pale that he was unsteady on his feet, "Where is Aiqing injured?"

Chen Zishu was silent for a few moments, and under the increasingly cold gaze from above, he said: "Back."

Xiao Junzhan nodded slowly, without asking any more questions, he pulled the reins, and the treasure horse flew out from under his crotch like the shadow of a sword.

Wei Hanzhang thought he would interrogate her, how she escaped under the protection of Chen Zishu between the time she was attacked and when she was rescued, what happened when she was alone with a man in such a small cave, and whether she gave him anything wrap the wound.

Given how petty this person was, she even thought that he would be so specific about what she said and did to Chen Zishu that she would tell him everything in detail, bit by bit, so that he would feel at ease.

 But along the way, except for the tight arms around his waist, which showed that he was not in a calm mood, the man behind him didn't say a word.

Until they returned to the camp, Wei Hanzhang was beaten to pieces and was carried into his tent by him.

There was already hot water ready in the tent. He dismissed the servants and started to peel off her clothes.

Wei Hanzhang was startled and hurriedly stretched out his hand to push him, but Xiao Junzhan held his hand to stop him.

 “Be calm, you are injured, you need to clean the wound and bandage it.”

 Yin Yin’s voice was hoarse and harsh all the way.

He didn't stop, stripping off her clothes in a few moments and hugging her into the warm bathtub.

"I'll wash it myself!" His hand was held, and Wei Hanzhang couldn't even protect his chest. He was so embarrassed and angry: "I'll be careful not to get any wounds. You go out."

“I only wash your wounds and nothing else,” Xiao Junzhan turned a deaf ear and said expressionlessly: “If you are okay, I will wash you outside, otherwise, I will go inside.”

“…” Wei Hanzhang suddenly became speechless.

　　Although she had experienced sharing a bath, it was after being drunk. Now that she was very sober, she could not accept him in the bathtub no matter what.

The girl who was struggling under his palm calmed down. Xiao Junzhan glanced at her, then looked away without saying a word, and carefully washed the blood on her arm. After her repeated urging, he finally withdrew.

When Wei Hanzhang put on his pajamas and came out, he was picked up by people who had been waiting outside and carried him to the bed.

 The girl in his arms was wrapped in a thin quilt. Xiao Junzhan called out and Ning Hai came in with several imperial doctors.

They are all old acquaintances. Wei Hanzhang stretched out his wrist silently.

The doctors took turns taking pulses, and after discussing with each other for a few breaths, their solemn expressions visibly relaxed.

They said she was not seriously injured, but she was frightened and lost a lot of blood. Fortunately, the knife edge was not poisonous and she could recover carefully, so her life was not in danger.

While Wei Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that the man he was leaning against also slowly relaxed in his chest.

 The imperial doctors prescribed medicine and retired.

The man behind her held her shoulders and gently took off the right half of her clothes. The wound that had been hastily bandaged with a handkerchief was opened by the remaining doctor.

The flesh-tossing knife wound appeared on the little girl’s tender arm, which was hideous and terrifying.

　　The man holding her in his arms and leaning against her felt his heart tremble suddenly, his jawline tightened, and he was filled with murderous intent.

 Just under her nose, she was in danger many times.

 The wound was cleaned repeatedly and medicine was applied repeatedly. Wei Hanzhang inhaled in pain and gently patted the wound with his hands. "Ran Ran is good... I'll be fine soon," Xiao Junzhan kissed her little by little on her neck and ears, regardless of the presence of others in the room, and coaxed her with a soft voice.

“…” Wei Hanzhang hunched his neck and endured it for a long time, and finally the wound was bandaged. When the doctor woman went out, before she could relax, she heard the deep voice of the man behind her.

 “Good girl, tell me what happened.”

"You don't know?" Wei Hanzhang was stunned and asked, "Where are the guards and secret guards?"

"Only Ying Yi came out alive, the others were all killed." Xiao Junzhan hugged her shoulders and said patiently: "Ying Yi is unconscious now, so Ran Ran, please tell me what happened this afternoon, everything is detailed. , tell them all.”

 The others were all killed…

Wei Hanzhang's eyelashes trembled slightly, thinking of the familiar faces he had seen in the past few days, as well as the three secret guards.

Knowing that she was soft-hearted, Xiao Junzhan held her in his arms and coaxed her for a long time, until he couldn't help but kiss her lips and lick her gently.

Tasting her bit by bit, all the emotions were conveyed through this kiss. His fear was undisguised. Wei Hanzhang clearly received it, and for a moment he forgot to reject the kiss.

Finally, he loosened his lips tremblingly, stared at her for a long time, and said hoarsely: "You scared me to death, you know?"

　　When he personally led the troops up the mountain to look for people, he, who was proficient in riding and shooting, was so panicked that he could hardly hold the reins.

The words "life or death are uncertain" are all in my mind.

 Is she okay?

  Is it still...alive?

 Still waiting for him to rescue her somewhere.

There are so many wild beasts in the forest. Will she be attacked by wild beasts if she is injured?

 …If the assassin succeeds, will her body be eaten by wild beasts?

 There has never been a moment when he knew so clearly what it meant to be afraid.

Until in the cave, when this little girl with blood all over her body and pale face appeared in front of her, all the panic and fear turned into heartache.

 …It hurts so much.

Being looked at by him like this made Wei Hanzhang want to cry for no reason. She didn't understand her reaction and just thought she was hurt and felt aggrieved.

She blinked and held back tears, and began to tell a series of events from entering the paddock, to being attacked, to the man in black cutting off the front hooves of the crazy horse, and being saved by Chen Zishu.

Xiao Junzhan hugged her and listened quietly, his expression always calm.

Finally, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and asked: "Did the guard who guided you to the paddock return to the camp with the prey, or did he die inside?"

"Someone did send the prey back on the way, and that person happened to be among them," Wei Hanzhang thought for a moment, frowned and said, "It's just someone who the leader of the guards followed his finger, so he should..."

"Hush! Just answer my question," Xiao Junzhan only listened to the previous sentence. He said, "I will verify and judge the rest."

Wei Hanzhang was suddenly surprised. Did he even suspect the leader of the guards?

 But the head guards are all dead.

“You have to remember that when you are in a high position, many things cannot be concluded first. There will always be people who will act in front of you for their own purposes. As long as there are enough benefits, there is nothing they cannot give, even their lives.”

Xiao Junzhan said: "What is the truth of the matter? I will get to the bottom of it."
