Chapter 144: Hero Saves Beauty (3)

Feet brushed across the water surface. Gu Yun secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, the water level was not very high, so she didn't have to worry about being washed away. But seeing that the two were about to hit the uneven, hard rock wall on the opposite side, Gu Yun could only pray, hoping that this wealthy lady's body could withstand this blow.

The distance was getting closer and closer. Gu Yun tensed her body, held the reins tightly, closed her eyes, and waited for the pain to come.

A sharp pain on her shoulder, Gu Yun felt her body being lifted up, and her waist suddenly tightened. Gu Yun hurriedly opened her eyes. What came into view was Su Ling's dark red battle robe. Before she could react to what he wanted to do, Su Ling had already turned his body quickly in the air. Gu Yun was surprised, did he want to...

"Bang!"

A muffled sound, Su Ling used his back as a barrier and smashed heavily against the rock wall. Gu Yun was tightly held in his arms and didn't suffer any injuries. She had been leaning against his chest. She could feel the strength of this force. Even with his protection, she was still dizzy. He used his back to hit it directly, and it was estimated that he would have internal injuries!

Gu Yun hurriedly raised her head to look. Su Ling's usually cold and arrogant face didn't have much pain, but his face was already blue-gray. His sword brows were tightly furrowed, and his forehead didn't know whether it was sweat or water vapor, wet.

Gu Yun just wanted to open her mouth to ask how he was, and heard him say in a lower voice than usual, with a bit of suppression, "Come up, I will carry you up."

The impact just now must have caused him serious injuries. Gu Yun shook her head and replied, "No need, I can do it myself, you go up first." Grabbing the rope, Gu Yun wanted to move down a bit to facilitate his climbing, but the hand across her waist pressed her tightly, making her unable to move. Gu Yun looked at the deep black eyes strangely, and saw rare anxiety in them. Even the voice was unusually irritable, "Stop talking nonsense! Come up."

Su Ling was breathing rapidly, his eyes were red. Gu Yun decided decisively, and didn't argue with him anymore. With Su Ling's temper, it was useless to say more. It was usually fine, but it was really not suitable to talk nonsense at this time.

With Su Ling's hand, Gu Yun turned over and climbed onto Su Ling's back. When she saw a deep blood hole on his back full of sand and dust, she couldn't help but be shocked, "You..." Crimson blood flowed all the way along the shoulder blade. The amount of bleeding was so large that Gu Yun immediately remembered that Ge Jingyun was also like this when he was injured, and the blood couldn't be stopped!

The silver short arrow could not be seen at the blood hole. Damn it, is he not wanting his life? He was shot in the back and used his back to hit the rock wall! With such a great impact, the short arrow was estimated to have been fully submerged.

Gu Yun took off her belt with one hand, and regardless of her loose coat, pressed tightly on his bleeding wound. The soldiers on the rock wall also began to pull them up. Soon, they reached the cliff. Yu Shijun stepped forward and pulled Su Ling's right arm while saying urgently, "Madam, are you alright?"

Gu Yun shook her head, "I'm fine." But Su Ling was not!

Reaching the cliff, Gu Yun wanted to get off his back to reduce his burden, but found that Su Ling's big hand had been tightly holding her legs. The rebels on the opposite side were staring straight at this side. Yan Ge was even more annoyed and threw away the broken whip in his hand, cursing, "If you have the ability, don't run! Come over and fight again!"

Su Ling carried her, looking back proudly, staring coldly at Wuji, who was still full of calm on the opposite side. Under the gaze of those cold eyes, Wuji trembled slightly. Did that arrow actually not hit?! Impossible! But if it hit, how could he be so relaxed, and still carrying Madam to compete with him?

Gu Yun looked down. Su Ling's dark red battle robe from his right shoulder to his back was full of blood. He must not want the rebels to know that he was so seriously injured!

Wrapping her arms around his neck, Gu Yun leaned lightly on Su Ling's back, looking like a bird leaning against a person, and took the opportunity to cover all the blood on his back.

Su Ling's whole body stiffened. The soft body was tightly attached to his back, and the faint fragrance drilled straight into his nose. The warm chest was tightly attached to him, making his cold back suddenly hot like fire. Su Ling was a little trance-like. Are women's bodies all so soft?

Su Ling's breathing was obviously turbid. Gu Yun thought his injury was more serious, and the other side was clamoring. Leaving like this seemed a bit flustered. Leaning on Su Ling's back, Gu Yun said softly in his ear, "Let's go."

Su Ling came back to his senses, took a step, and walked back.

Yu Shijun looked at Su Ling's back suspiciously. Isn't the General a little dissatisfied with Madam? Why are they so loving today? Patting his head, Yu Shijun scolded himself for being meddlesome. What is he guessing about the affairs between husband and wife!

A group of thousands of people quickly withdrew from Crow Gorge.

The probing gaze was slowly withdrawn until the team completely disappeared into the forest. On the high banyan tree, a gloomy figure hid in it, "What a Su Ling." The dark, low, hoarse laughter suddenly sounded, scaring the birds around to scatter. A glimmer of light flashed in the dark cold eyes, too fast to capture the emotion in it.

Only half a mile out, Gu Yun shouted in a low voice, "Yu Shijun, help me down quickly."

Yu Shijun didn't understand, but still stepped forward to support Gu Yun's arm. This time Su Ling didn't stop her again. Letting go, Gu Yun jumped down immediately.

Blood had long soaked the dark red battle robe, and even Gu Yun's black top was stained with blood. The rock debris on the rock wall was still on her body, showing the power of the collision just now!

After holding on for so long, the moment Gu Yun landed, Su Ling finally couldn't help but kneel on the ground, Yu Shijun and Gu Yun hurriedly went up to support him.

"General!" He actually didn't find the General's abnormality! Damn it!

"Military Physician!"

"This subordinate is here." The accompanying military physician hurriedly stepped forward. Gu Yun said urgently, "Quickly take a look at him."

"Yes." The military physician didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, checking the wound on his back. After looking at it, he couldn't help but frown, and replied with a heavy face, "The General's injury is very serious. The short arrow is fully submerged in the right shoulder. It is definitely impossible to take it out here. It must be treated in the camp as soon as possible."

"You stop the bleeding for him first." If the blood continues to flow like this, he will die of excessive blood loss before reaching the camp!

Su Ling was still conscious. He raised his head with difficulty, and after pointing a few acupuncture points, his spirit seemed to be better. He opened his mouth and asked, "How is Han Shu?"

The military physician treated the wound carefully and replied, "General, rest assured, the Vanguard's injury is not light, but fortunately his body is strong, and there will be no danger."

"I have sealed the acupuncture points, let's return to the camp first." Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Su Ling supported Yu Shijun's shoulder, staggered to stand up, didn't look at Gu Yun on the side again, and still stubbornly walked back with Yu Shijun's support.

Looking at the blood-stained back, Gu Yun felt a burst of irritability for no reason.

The sky was completely dark, and bonfires were lit in the camp. Outside the commander-in-chief's tent, a man and a woman were walking back and forth. As time passed, both of them became more and more uneasy.

Gu Yun had a worried face. Su Ren comforted, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Big Brother has always been strong, this injury will be fine." Although he said so,

Looking at that blood-stained back, Gu Yun's heart felt a wave of inexplicable irritability.

The sky had turned completely dark, and campfires were lit in the camp. Outside the commander's tent, the figures of a man and a woman walked back and forth. As time passed, the two appeared increasingly uneasy.

Gu Yun had a look of worry on her face. Su Ren comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Big Brother has always been robust; this little injury won't be a problem." Although he said this, his heart was actually held high. It had already been over an hour, and apart from basins of bloody water being carried out, there was no news at all. How could he not be anxious!

Gu Yun was in no mood to correct his form of address at this moment. Worried about the safety of the person inside and even more worried about the enemy taking advantage of the situation, Gu Yun sighed in a low voice, "You had better strengthen the camp's defenses. I'm afraid they will take advantage of the chaos to attack once they know Su Ling is injured."

"Rest assured, I have already made arrangements. If they really come to attack, that would be even better; fighting here is more advantageous to our army than in the rain forest." Since he was left to guard the camp, he had already arranged these matters properly. Now he only hoped that Big Brother's body would be fine.

Speaking of the rain forest, Gu Yun suddenly remembered that there were still five thousand elite soldiers in the rain forest! Damn it, had her brain turned to mush today? "Su Ren, how many military physicians were brought this time?"

Why ask this? Su Ren was puzzled but still replied properly, "Eight. Why?"

Gu Yun smiled bitterly, "Can you spare two for me?"

After pondering for a while, Su Ren nodded, "Yes, what happened?" The casualties in today's Crow Valley battle were not large, and basically, everything had been settled, but what did she want two military physicians for?

Gu Yun did not keep him in suspense and replied, "Your five thousand elite soldiers went on an adventure in the jungle today. I estimate that at least one-third of them will need a military physician." She had indeed been a bit too hasty in letting them enter the rain forest this time, but she had no other choice. She only had four days; she had no choice! Calculating the time, Gu Yun sighed, "It's almost the Xu hour; I'm going to go see them."

So that was it. Su Ren said, "Your injury has just been bandaged. I will order someone to go and pass the order for them to return."

Gu Yun shook her head and replied, "They cannot return today. The night in the rain forest is the most terrifying; the training has only truly begun now. If it weren't for worrying about their lives, the military physicians shouldn't even go. I will also stay in the rain forest tonight. You stay and guard the camp and take care of Su Ling."

"No." Su Ren said urgently, "The military physician has already explained that if your hand is not properly cared for, it will leave a permanent ailment."

With a faint smile, Gu Yun insisted, "I will be careful. I said I would be there waiting for them to come out at the Xu hour; how can I break my promise!"

The determination and stubbornness in her eyes were definitely not inferior to Big Brother's. Su Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No matter what, I can't keep you, can I?"

Gu Yun raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't answer, but she had already expressed her meaning very clearly. Su Ren was helpless, "Alright, I'll have Yu Shijun arrange some men to accompany you."

Gu Yun wanted to say something else, but meeting Su Ren's equally persistent eyes, she smiled and replied, "Alright, I'll leave this place to you."

Taking one more look at the main tent where there was still no news, Gu Yun hesitated for a while, but in the end, she didn't go in and left instead.

Su Ren stared at Gu Yun's retreating back, secretly guessing whether the worry in Gu Yun's eyes just now was affection for Big Brother or simple gratitude? Had Big Brother, this hero who saved the beauty, actually won the beauty's heart?

"Ah—" While he was secretly speculating, a low roar came from the tent.
