Zhang Xingzhou was also covered in blood, with a tired look on his face. He carefully supported Chu Zhao, as if protecting a fragile porcelain doll, and because of such close contact, his movements seemed a little awkward.

"A'ao's injury has been sutured, but she has been unresponsive. The princess has exhausted all her energy. If I hadn't supported her in time, she would have fallen to the ground." He said to Murong Xiao.

Murong Xiao looked at Chu Zhao and then at Ah Ao, who had his eyes closed and lifeless on the bed, and felt very uncomfortable.

Although he hates Ah Ao for coveting Chu Zhao, but apart from this, Ah Ao is indeed a very good person, young and handsome, with good character, proud and very loyal. He follows Chu Zhao from south to north and never abandons him. No regrets.

Honestly speaking, if I were Chu Zhao, I would be attracted by such an enthusiastic and persistent boy, and I would look at him differently.

Murong Xiao sighed, took Chu Zhao out of Zhang Xingzhou's arms, and held him in his arms.

"Give her to me, you go and wash her."

Zhang Xingzhou's arms were empty, and his heart was half empty as well. He watched Murong Xiao hug Chu Zhao so naturally and smiled bitterly.

No matter what, the prince is the most justifiable one after all.

At this time, the rest of the people came in and gathered around to ask how Chu Zhao was doing.

Seeing that she was fine, he gathered around the bed to see Ao.

Aao's breath was so weak that it made everyone's hearts twitch.

"Your Majesty, is A'ao hopeless?" Iron Hammer asked with red eyes.

Chu Zhao was still conscious, but was too tired to speak. When he heard her question, he shook his head slightly and waved his hand.

Zhang Xingzhou explained for her: "The princess said that A'ao can't die. You are dirty, so don't get close to him."

"Oh, yes, we have bacteria on our bodies." Wang Baobao reacted first and called everyone, "Let's go out first, so that A'ao won't be infected again."

Although Murong Xiao didn't understand and didn't know whether Chu Zhao meant this, he still waved his hand and told them to leave quickly.

Several people had no choice but to retreat reluctantly. Before leaving, Tie Zhui said to A'ao: "A'ao, you must hold on. If you die, I won't live either."

General Xiao was startled, and hurriedly pulled her out, saying hurriedly: "Didn't you just say that you were going to be a widow? Why are you not alive again?"

Tie Zhui sniffed and shed tears: "A'ao is so pitiful. We came out of Yunzhou together and he left alone. It must be so lonely on the road to Huangquan. I want to go down and accompany him."

"..." General Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The princess didn't say anything. Please don't curse him, please. He is as strong as a cow. He may be fine tomorrow after some sleep."

In the room, Chu Zhao said to Murong Xiao in a hoarse voice: "Prepare another bed. I will guard him tonight."

If this was normal, Murong Xiao would definitely jump in, but now he agreed without even thinking: "Okay, I'll ask someone to bring the bed over right now."

Chu Zhao was surprised, leaned on his shoulder, and turned his head to look at him.

If you were too close, you could only see his unshaven jawline.

When we first met Yunzhou, he was still a handsome prince with tender skin and tender flesh. In one year, he was tempered into a rough military man.

However, this look has a bit of the demeanor of his grandfather Murong Qingchuan back in the day.

Chu Zhao smiled tiredly, feeling very relieved.

The descendants of Murong Qingchuan should be such upright men, heroes who protect their home and country.

"Your grandpa will be proud of you." Chu Zhao said.

Murong Xiao was stunned by this meaningless sentence. After a closer look, he realized that Chu Zhao was probably praising himself, and he was immediately excited.

After a year, he finally got her approval.

It's not easy!

It's simply harder than fighting.

"What about you, will you be proud of me?" He asked cautiously.

"..." Chu Zhao wanted to roll his eyes, but he didn't have the strength, so he hummed softly as an answer.

Murong Xiao almost couldn't hold back tears.

This word "hmm" made him feel that all the suffering he had suffered in the past six months was worth it.

Azhao finally saw how good he was!

Chu Zhao waited for a while before going to wash up and change clothes, eat something simple, and then went back to take care of Ao.

Murong Xiao had already asked someone to make the bed for her and placed them next to Ao's bed.

Anyway, Aao is no different from a dead person now, so he doesn't have anything to worry about.

"I live next door. If you need anything, call me anytime." He said generously.

Chu Zhao thanked him sincerely and was about to go to bed when Zhang Xingzhou came over with a letter, saying that it was sent by someone from Xu Huirang's Tianji Sect.

Xu Hui wrote in the letter that Tiemu caught an assassin who wanted to assassinate A'ao in Beidi Palace. After being tortured, he found out that there were also assassins in the team escorting Chu Zhao. They were the same as those who assassinated A'ao. It was all arranged by the cousin of King Beidi.

The situation was urgent at that time and they did not allow them to think about it in detail. Ao's riding skills were good, so he asked Ao to go ahead and report the news, and then selected a few people from the Tianji Sect to come after Ao.

Xu Hui also said that the cousin of King Beidi had been controlled, and that the Wangcheng and Dayan missions had not been affected in any way, so Chu Zhao should not worry.

But he told Chu Zhao not to worry, but the scrawled handwriting and dots of ink on the letter revealed his own worries.

He must be afraid that A'ao won't be able to arrive in time, right?

Chu Zhao looked back at Ah Ao, who was breathing weakly on the bed, closed his eyes, and handed the letter to Zhang Xingzhou: "Go and talk to the prince and ask him to write a letter to Xu Hui and tell him about the situation here, and then let Tianji Sect Please send the letter back as soon as possible, don’t let Xu Hui worry."

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Xingzhou took the letter and was about to leave, then hesitated and said, "Liangzhou, are you still going?"

"..." Chu Zhao was stunned, then looked back at A'ao. After a few breaths, he made up his mind and said, "Go, gather the troops and horses tomorrow morning and set off at noon."

Zhang Xingzhou seemed to be surprised, but also expected, and said with emotion: "What should I do with A'ao? His life or death is uncertain. Are we going to leave him like this?"

"He will understand." Chu Zhao said one sentence, his eyes blurred with tears, and he repeated it again, as if to convince himself, "He will understand."

Zhang Xingzhou's throat was choked, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll notify you right away and rush to Liangzhou at noon tomorrow."

After Zhang Xingzhou left, Chu Zhao returned to the bedside, bent down, and held Aao's bloodless face with his cold hands.

"A'ao, you can understand me, right?"

"A'ao, if you are Xiao Chi, please come to life for me. If you are not Xiao Chi, please come to life for me."

"Two hundred years ago, it was at Yanyunguan that I lost Xiao Chi. Now, I don't want to lose you again."

"You said you would always stay with me. You can't break your promise, otherwise I will never forgive you..."

She rambled a lot, but Aao kept his eyes closed and didn't give her any reaction. If he didn't still have a breath, he would be no different from death.

Chu Zhao felt sad, thinking about going to Liangzhou tomorrow, so he went to bed and lay down, forcing himself to close his eyes.

Their beds were side by side, so she reached into A'ao's quilt and held A'ao's hand.

In this way, if there is any movement in A'ao, she can feel it immediately.

Aao's hands were very big, and the palms of his hands were roughened by the reins from riding horses day and night, and they felt like sandpaper.

Chu Zhao felt sour in his heart, sighed, and held his hand tightly.

"A'ao, please come back to life. If my life comes at the expense of you, I will never let go in this life..."
