Let me see…” the strategist asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, apart from a few bruises on Ximen Wudi’s body, there were no obvious gunshot wounds, not even abrasions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strategist felt slightly relieved, but immediately after, her heart twitched violently again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she saw Ximen Wudi clutching his stomach, curled up like a shrimp, seemingly in pain that was hard to endure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strategist, my intestines have been pierced…” Ximen Wudi gritted his teeth, his face flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he hadn’t fainted from excessive blood loss, his intestines were churning, and the pain was unbearable, as if his internal organs were about to be twisted to pieces!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’ll send you up.” The strategist said, then prepared to stretch out her hands to support Ximen Wudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, she noticed that Ximen Wudi’s waist was wrapped with two things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was a red silk scarf, and the other… was a red bellyband!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing it clearly, even someone as calm as the strategist couldn’t help but blush!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did this guy get these two things? And he even made them red!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t just stand there! Help me up!” Ximen Wudi shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh oh, I’ll help you!” The strategist reacted and hurriedly dragged Ximen Wudi towards the side of the boat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know why, just as Ximen Wudi was about to climb onto the deck, the figure of that red-skirted girl inexplicably appeared in his mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, how is this possible!” Ximen Wudi hurriedly dismissed this thought, but he couldn’t control his brain, and this image kept circling in Ximen Wudi’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally climbing onto the boat, Ximen Wudi lay on the deck, gasping for breath, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your intestines…” The strategist frowned as she looked at Ximen Wudi and said: “I need to examine you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, don’t touch…” A cool feeling came from Ximen Wudi’s crotch, which made him struggle to raise his hand: “Well… let’s not worry about my injury for now… where is my phone? Where is my phone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers were trembling violently, and it took all his effort to get the phone, let alone take out his wallet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Ximen Wudi looked exactly like a drowning person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strategist took Ximen Wudi’s wallet and handed it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi took several deep breaths before he tremblingly found his phone and dialed the number of the person in charge of the Ye Pu Island station in the Chinese capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was no answer on the other end of the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn…” Ximen Wudi cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, that pitch-black muzzle was already pressed against Ximen Wudi’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a sniper rifle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the scope of this gun, cold light was being released, locking onto Ximen Wudi’s throat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man in black walked out holding the sniper rifle. He was wearing a mask, and the pair of eyes exposed were full of coldness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strategist, my people lost the trail.” This man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was low and hoarse, sounding very uncoordinated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It doesn’t matter, aren’t you catching up with us now?” Ximen Wudi narrowed his eyes and sneered: “You guys are really trash, I just ran a little further, and you lost the trail!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Apollo, this is not our fault.” This man in black said: “We really didn’t expect to encounter your reinforcements.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he took a pellet out of the sniper rifle, then knelt on one knee and slammed it fiercely beside his feet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-explosive bomb exploded directly, fragments splashed all over Ximen Wudi’s face, and Ximen Wudi’s left arm was instantly covered in blood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi instinctively let go of the hands hugging the strategist’s slender waist, and the latter fell onto the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi immediately roared: “Damn bastard, you killed her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, Ximen Wudi struggled to stand up and was about to rush over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this man in black didn’t make a move immediately, but said: “Apollo, don’t worry, your companion is fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say? She’s not dead?” Ximen Wudi heard hope and immediately stopped!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” The man in black said again: “Her heart is still beating, but there is no life-threatening danger for the time being.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he put away the sniper rifle, took out a medical kit from his arms, and then tore open the gauze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to bandage Ximen Wudi’s wound; otherwise, if he kept bleeding like this, he would probably go into shock before long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strategist lay quietly on the side of the boat. She looked at the situation in front of her, her gaze filled with worry and anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t good at this kind of wound treatment, and she didn’t dare to touch Ximen Wudi’s abdominal cavity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strategist, thank you for saving me. If it weren’t for you, perhaps, so many stories wouldn’t have happened tonight,” Ximen Wudi said, looking at the strategist’s beautiful side profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, if the strategist hadn’t appeared in time just now, Ximen Wudi might have already kicked the bucket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is what I should do.” The strategist said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t say much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strategist, my wound is not a problem, you should go and catch that murderer quickly,” Ximen Wudi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vicious light flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ximen W\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to worry, I think I will handle this matter well,\" the Strategist said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, dampened a towel with it, and wiped the sweat for Ximen Wudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This action seemed very ordinary, yet in Ximen Wudi's eyes, it was full of softness, as if the whole world had become warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strategist...\" Ximen Wudi looked at the face so close at hand, his Adam's apple rolling twice: \"I'm a little thirsty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Strategist's hand paused, then said: \"Wait for me a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she turned and walked into the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strategist, I...\" Ximen Wudi opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't say anything more, you just need to recuperate well now,\" the Strategist said: \"Your right lower leg was cut by a blade; I'll stitch it up for you to avoid infection and suppuration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you,\" Ximen Wudi sighed softly: \"Actually, my injuries really aren't that serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that the reason the Strategist did this was entirely because she cared about him, but the more this was the case, the less Ximen Wudi wanted to owe her too many favors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up, don't let your imagination run wild,\" the Strategist glared at Ximen Wudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because Ximen Wudi was seriously injured, the Strategist did not let Ximen Wudi sit on a chair, but let him half-squat on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ximen Wudi gave a bitter smile: \"I think I will never forget the way you just changed my bandages in this lifetime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy really knew how to touch a sore spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Strategist's pretty face turned red instantly, and she glared at Ximen Wudi: \"Don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, I won't stitch you up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This threat was quite formidable, making one completely unable to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ximen Wudi scratched the back of his head sheepishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his eyes caught a glimpse of the Strategist's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his gaze suddenly froze, and then deep shock and complexity surged in his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This military uniform was clearly Ye Shuangjiang's clothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi could even smell the familiar fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fragrance was so refreshing! It made one feel incomparably comfortable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once embraced Ye Shuangjiang under the night, and that familiar touch was so clear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Strategist was not lying; she was Ye Shuangjiang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the most genuine feeling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" The Strategist realized something was different and turned to ask Ximen Wudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know now,\" Ximen Wudi took a deep breath and said: \"I finally understand why you chose this path; it turns out this path is so arduous, and also so intoxicating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1337,"2026-06-15T03:02:23.300Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c6593c2668eb152247e40583d764657f70cd278735318973400dec5543188f93","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1363","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1361",1409,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-cover.jpg"]
