General

A vigorous figure strode into the entrance of the cave, and Lan Jing looked at the black outline outlined by the moonlight, full of fear and grievance, as if she had suddenly found an exit, and broke out viciously.

"Li Xuan!" Lan Jing shouted in a hoarse voice, and the tears flowed down like a flood that burst a bank.

Li Xuan's eye circles became hot, and he couldn't help rushing to Lan Jing in a few steps, rubbing the man tightly into his arms.

The blood-stained kiss contained a bit of the obsession of the rest of his life after a catastrophe. Li Xuan held his bloody little face in both hands, but the kiss was extremely emotional.

He cherished that fleeting glance on the boat all the time in his heart, and he was already prepared to die. Unexpectedly, he still had the rest of his life...

Such a timid and weak person, but left himself alone in the wilderness, facing loneliness, facing fear, facing darkness, facing beasts...

Just for an almost unimaginable possibility of saving himself.

The emotion in his heart suddenly filled his chest like a mountain torrent. Li Xuan slowly pulled him away, face to face, nose to nose, and looked at him for a long time, panting lightly. A hoarse voice whispered in his ear, "Lanjing...marry me."

Lan Jing raised her eyes in astonishment, and froze her body a little helplessly.

The next moment, that gentle whisper made his heart full of sweetness:

"I love you."

I love you……

Lan Jing twitched her lips, hugged his back tightly with trembling hands, and buried her small face deeply into his neck.

Li Xuan, the moment you gave up your life to protect me from leaving... You are already in my heart for a lifetime.

So whether you marry or get married, in this life...

I am all yours!

……

Ling Feng and Qiu Yang had already arrived outside the cave, both covered in water and in a panic.They looked at the situation inside at this moment, looked at each other meaningfully, and tacitly did not go in to disturb them, but went to the nearby to collect dead branches and hay, and prepared to light the fire in the cave again to roast their clothes and warm their bodies.

The two people in the cave kissed more and more lingeringly, at the end, Lan Jing couldn't help but push him down to the ground, wanting to cover her body.But Li Xuan groaned in pain under the sudden shock, biting his lower lip tightly with his brows furrowed.

"You are hurt?!"

Lan Jing suddenly froze her arms, not daring to move carelessly anymore, wolf blood was everywhere, completely covering up the bloody smell on Li Xuan's body.

"I'm fine..." Li Xuan slowly supported his body with his arms, resisting the pain and stroking his panicked little face in a comforting manner.It may be that Lan Jing's involuntary actions just now were a little too intense, his wound that was soaked in cold water was torn open again, and blood continued to ooze.

Lan Jing leaned over and looked at the past seriously, but immediately froze in anxiety, turned her head and shouted to the outside of the cave: "Ling Feng!!"

Ling Feng didn't dare to go far at all, when he heard Lan Jing calling him anxiously, he rushed in immediately, threw the dead branch in his arms on the ground, and knelt down in front of the two of them on one knee and said in a deep voice: "master!"

"Do you have any wound medicine on you?!" Lan Jing frowned and looked at him, eyes full of anxiety.

Ling Feng was slightly stunned, and immediately bowed down heavily, saying in a deep voice, "This subordinate has neglected his duties, all the luggage and supplies are on the boat, and now I'm afraid it has fallen to the bottom of the river..."

Lan Jing opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say for a while, she couldn't blame him, being able to save her life was a blessing from God, how could she ask for more?

But after what Ling Feng said, he realized that not only did the few people have no food, no drink, no clothes, no money, they didn't even have life-saving medicine...

He has often left the palace to travel these years, but today is the worst day ever!

"Don't worry, I'm very strong." Li Xuan panted lightly, finally raised the corners of his lips slightly, supported his body and slowly sat on the rock wall and lowered his eyes, "I can't die..."

Lan Jing sat next to him, nodded with distressed eyes, but she looked so cute.

Hurrying footsteps sounded again from the darkness, Qiu Yang walked up to the three of them holding a pile of unknown hay in both hands, picked up the fire folds thrown in the corner, set up the dead branches, and conveniently lit the fire again.

The hay was neatly clutched together and lit, and placed on the ground. The warm fire flashed instantly, and it burned to ashes in a short while.

Qiu Yang carefully collected the ashes, brought them to Lan Jing, and whispered softly: "These are some dried herbs, which can stop bleeding and pain, and prevent wounds from festering. Master, please apply some to him."

Seeing Lan Jing's handsome face again, Qiu Yang remembered his indulgence before leaving Jiang'an.At that time, he thought that it would be very difficult for him to come back alive, so he wanted to fulfill his thought before he died, but now that everyone gathered together safely, he was suddenly overwhelmed with shame.

"En." Lan Jing took it carefully, and stretched out her hand to untie Li Xuan's belt, but Li Xuan covered the back of his hand with her thick palm, squeezed it lightly, and shook her head, "I'll do it myself, don't be scared is you."

Then he turned his head to Ling Feng and raised his chin, and said in a deep voice: "Go and deal with this wolf, cut the meat into pieces and roast it, and peel off the whole wolf skin and give it to me."

"Yes." Ling Feng nodded, walked to the side and dragged the snow wolf out of the cave. The prince is timid, so it's better to take it outside to do the disemboweling and bone picking.

"I... I'll help..." Seeing that he was the only one left, Qiu Yang immediately patted the ashes in his hands with interest, bowed and retreated, only Li Xuan and Li Xuan were left. You are in an embarrassment.

"I... I'm not afraid..."

Lan Jing lowered her eyes, slowly moved closer to Li Xuan's side, and said softly with distressed eyes, "Untie it yourself."

The repeatedly oozing blood soaked through the cloth that Li Xuan used to tighten the wound, but the clothes that were close to his body had already been stuck to the wounded flesh.

Seeing his unquestionable expression, Li Xuan no longer refused. He raised his hand and slowly eased the cloth belt on his lower abdomen, and pulled the clothes off the semi-congealed scab bit by bit. He gritted his teeth, and even Not even a frown.

The wound was deep, and because it had been soaked in water for too long, white flesh turned over the entire edge, which looked horrifying.Lan Jing lowered her eyes, carefully covered the bleeding wound with plant ash, then pulled a piece of fabric from her half-dried robe, and stretched it again.Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, and his fingertips moved slowly and compassionately on his flat and firm abdomen, causing Li Xuan to barely hold his breath.

"I don't have the strength to hug you today." Li Xuan smiled and grabbed his mischievous fingers, looked at his loving eyes, and whispered softly, "You also need to rest well."

Lan Jing blushed and responded.

Li Xuan slowly raised his fingertips to his lips, closed his eyes, and kissed lightly.

The thin lips passed between the fingers, but the throbbing went straight to the bottom of the heart. Lan Jing closed her eyes obediently, avoiding the wound, and pressed the reddish handsome face to Li Xuan's chest, the warm feeling quietly surrounded her body, and she was as happy as a dream Same.

Li Xuan's arms silently wrapped around his thin back, lowered his head, and kissed his soft hair again, the inadvertent pampering, I'm afraid I would be surprised if I saw it...

……

After an unknown amount of time, Lan Jing fell asleep in this warm embrace.Qiu Yang and Ling Feng returned to the cave at the same time, one of them took a branch to skewer a large piece of wolf meat, and the other held the wolf skin just peeled off with both hands.

"Master." Seeing that Lan Jing was sleeping soundly, Ling Feng lowered his voice and called Li Xuan in a low voice.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand and nodded to him without saying a word.

He took the wolf skin, took out the short dagger wrapped around his sleeves, carefully checked the skin again, and removed the remaining meat and grease bit by bit, then raised his hand and handed it back to Ling Feng: "Put it on the fire. Let it smoke for a while so it won't dry out."

Ling Feng looked at the cleanly plucked fur, and looked at Li Xuan in surprise. What he didn't expect was that such a rough general had such skillful hands?

Ling Feng and Qiu Yang sat opposite each other by the fire, one smoked leather and the other roasted wolf meat.After a while, the delicious smell filled the entire cave. Qiu Yang carefully peeled a wooden stick, cut off the roasted meat piece by piece, put it on the wooden stick, and gave it to Li. Xuan sent it over.

Li Xuan was not polite, raised his hand to accept it, and looked at Lan Jing who was sleeping on his lap, then turned his head to Ling Feng and asked in a low voice: "Can we walk to the next city along the river bank?"

Ling Feng put down the wolf skin in his hand, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It should be possible to go all the way south along the river, but..."

He paused slightly, and looked worriedly at Li Xuan's belly wrapped in a cloth belt: "This road is deserted, your injury..."

"I'm fine." Li Xuan looked at the dancing flames in front of him faintly, as if he was in a daze, "These minor injuries are nothing but common occurrences to me."

The scent of meat between his fingers lingered vaguely around him, Lan Jing suddenly sniffed, and even his stomach "gurgled" twice, then he slowly half-opened his eyes, looking for the scent .

"Eat something when you wake up." Li Xuan looked at him in a sleepy state, raised the corners of his mouth in a funny way, helped him sit up straight, and stuffed the skewer of barbecued meat into his hand, " I happen to have something to tell you."

Lan Jing calmed down, only to realize that she was sleeping heartlessly in the arms of an injured person, she blushed suddenly, scratched her head guiltily, and said, "What... what is it..."

"On the way back, Qiu Yang told us that he overheard some conversations of the water bandits, which seemed very interesting."

Li Xuan looked at Ling Feng with a smile, as if confirming with him.

Holding the wolf skin in his hand, Ling Feng was smoking seriously. Hearing what Li Xuan said, he immediately looked back at the two of them, and nodded solemnly.

"Oh?" Lan Jing held a wooden stick in her hand, with barbecue stuffed in her mouth, raised her eyebrows slightly, and replied with interest while chewing.

"This group of water bandits seems to be from some kind of cottage. The head of the village is named Hu." Li Xuan stretched out his hand to take the smoked wolf skin from Ling Feng, and stabbed it a few times with a short dagger seemingly randomly. , cut off a long one, put it in his hand and kneaded gently, "The money this village gets every year, but it has to pay tribute to a court official surnamed Li."

"Surnamed Li?"

Lan Jing bit a piece of wolf meat, but stopped her mouth quietly, looked sideways at the top of the cave, pondered for a moment, and continued, "As far as I know, there is only one official in Jiangnan whose surname is Li...that is Li Shouhong, the governor of the four counties."

"I've also heard about Li Shouhong, who belongs to the Prince Regent." Li Xuan stopped his movements and slightly raised his eyes to look at Lan Jing.

"It's not just his people." Lan Jing chewed the meat in his mouth as if to relieve hatred, and said with a sneer, "Jiangnan is rich, and he holds the power of the four counties in his hand. For so many years, he has been the regent's pocketbook. "
