Heaven and earth return to one

A dozen or so masked men took Shen Hao's place and besieged Kang Hui and Xu Mingxi desperately.Shen Hao made a move, quickly ran towards Ji Yanfang, picked up the short fork thrown by him, and together with her attacked Nangongxuan who was protected by Li Yunke.

Li Yunke grabbed Nangongxuan's shoulders and took a few steps back quickly, fighting the couple with their sharp knives with one hand, barely able to ensure that he and Nangongxuan were not injured, but he had no time to fight back.He tightly hugged Nangong Xuan's thin shoulders, while retreating, he said: "Nangong, talk!"

Nangongxuan's shoulder held by him trembled. He subconsciously wanted to break free, but for some reason, he restrained the urge to break free.He twisted his stiff neck and looked at the side face of Li Yunke who was close at hand, feeling a little warmth in his heart inexplicably, it was really out of season.

Li Yunke didn't have time to savor the look in his eyes. Seeing his reaction, he asked, "How is it?"

Taking advantage of Nangongxuan's recovery, Shen Hao stabbed Li Yunke's hand protecting Nangongxuan very quickly with his fork, intending to separate the two of them.He didn't really want Li Yunke's life. After all, the identity of Prince Duan was there, and he didn't want to be an enemy of the entire court.

Ji Yanfang had a tacit understanding with him, and followed his fork with a big knife and swung it, aiming at the space between Li Yunke and Nangongxuan's waist.

Li Yunke saw that Nangongxuan had become conscious, and wanted to let him go first, and then check on his condition after repelling the two of them.But he didn't expect that just as he was about to move, Nangong Xuan beside him stretched out his hand, trying to grab the short fork that was stabbing at him.

This time, not only Li Yunke, but also Shen Hao and Ji Yanfang were stunned, all three of them were momentarily hesitant to move.

Li Yunke was the first to react, and hastily pushed Nangongxuan away to the other side——the one in the middle of Shen Hao's short fork has blades on both sides, if he grasps it, will his hand be useless?

Not caring about his head, Li Yunke pushed Nangongxuan away and dodged Shen Hao's short fork, but he had no time to dodge Ji Yanfang's sword.

He was ready for another blow, Nangongxuan, who didn't want to be pushed by him, turned back, and passed the palm of Ji Yanfang in front of Ji Yanfang unhurriedly.

Ji Yanfang was forced to stop, staring at Nangongxuan's direct palm, guessing how many changes he would have in the future.

But she didn't know that Nangongxuan's head was still in chaos at the moment, all of these things were done out of instinct, how could he even think about changes?

As a result, Ji Yanfang, who made a mistake, was hit on the shoulder by this palm that seemed to have changed a lot but was actually nowhere. With a loud cry, she fell more than a foot away.

"Yanfang!" Shen Hao was shocked and rushed forward.

Ji Yanfang pressed the place where she was beaten with one hand, and grabbed Shen Hao's arm with the other, panting, "Brother Hao, we..."

At the same time, the group of people besieging Kang Hui and Xu Mingxi also burst into shouts. A dozen big men ran with their hands clasped, shouting continuously, as if they were singing and dancing to celebrate something.

Xu Mingxi snorted twice, and said, "I told you I would take medicine, but you wouldn't believe me!"

Shen Hao gritted his teeth and gave Nangong Xuan a resentful look, hugged Ji Yanfang, and said to the rest: "Get out!"

A group of people followed behind him, not as calm as when they came, they staggered away.

The soldiers leading the team wanted to chase him, but Li Yunke stopped him.Li Yunke looked at the chaotic team, frowned and said: "Don't worry about those people, we are short of manpower, and I don't know if they still have a backup, don't fall for it. Count the dead and injured brothers, everyone work hard, We can't stay here, we have to move forward. We can reach Chenzhou in two hours, Xianfeng will go to inform the magistrate now that we are going to the city to spend the night."

The soldiers took orders and went immediately.

Li Yunke sighed, walked up to Nangongxuan, took a closer look, and saw that he didn't seem to be injured except for his unsightly complexion, so he was a little relieved and said, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?" ?”

Nangong Xuan raised his head slowly, blinked his eyes lightly, and then shook his head a little dullly as if he heard what he said.

Something is wrong with him.

Li Yunke thought so, stretched out his thumb to wipe the sweat that was seeping from his forehead, and said warmly: "What happened, can you tell me?"

Nangong Xuan didn't answer, his eyes were scattered and a little wandering.It took a while to land on Li Yunke's cut shoulder, staring at the bright red blood stained on his water-blue shirt and saying: "It's bleeding."

Li Yunke didn't react for a moment, "What?"

Xu Mingxi ran over from there, dug out the Golden Chuang Medicine from the bag, and poured it on Li Yunke's wound without saying hello, "The leader said you were bleeding."

I don't know what kind of elixir he is using, but the properties of the medicine are quite powerful. Li Yunke grinned in pain and said, "It doesn't matter if you have such a small injury. Go and see Nangong, he seems to be..."

"Huh?" Xu Mingxi stuffed the medicine into Kang Hui's hands, looked left and right at Nangong Xuan, and found that his eyes were only on Li Yunke's wound, and he didn't look at anything else, and he began to feel that something was wrong.

Li Yunke moved his shoulders and said, "Did he often do this before?"

Xu Mingxi was already staring at Nangongxuan in a daze, she shook her head and said, "It's also the first time I've seen him like this."

"You show him first." Li Yunke said.

"Master?" Xu Mingxi held Nangongxuan's wrist and called softly.

Nangong Xuan hummed.

"Speak up!"

Nangong Xuan remained silent again.

After Kang Hui helped bandage the wound, Xu Mingxi also let go of Nangongxuan's hand, Li Yunke hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with him?"

"I don't know," Xu Mingxi said, "There is nothing wrong with his body."

Li Yunke thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go first, we'll talk when we get to Chenzhou."

Xu Mingxi was worried about Nangongxuan, and wanted to talk to him, but was held back by Kang Hui.Kang Hui winked at him and said, "Leave it to the prince."

Li Yunke glanced at the almost burnt carriage, pinched the center of his eyebrows twice, and said to Nangong Xuan: "Nangong, we have to go on horseback, can you?"

Nangong Xuan hummed again.

Li Yunke licked his dry lips, and said again: "Shall we ride together?"

This time Nangong Xuan paused for a moment, shifting his gaze from his shoulders to his face, "Huh?"

Li Yunke: "..."

Nangong Xuan's body suddenly shook.

Li Yunke quickly supported him, "Hello!"

Nangongxuan stood up straight again, looked down at him holding his hand, somehow thought why he didn't push him away.He seems to be getting more and more used to his touch, what's going on, is it really related to the fetus in the womb as Xu Mingxi said?

The mess in his mind turned into a paste, Nangong Xuan really couldn't figure out a clue, closed his eyes and said softly: "Tired."

Li Yunke saw that he had no refusal reaction this time, and even took the initiative to say that he was tired, so he changed from supporting him to half hugging him, and said: "If you are tired, lean on me, and sleep when you can, okay?"

Nangong Xuan didn't respond.

Li Yunke thought that he still couldn't believe him, and was about to persuade him a few more words, but he just opened his mouth when he heard the word "yes" unclearly.

This surprised Li Yunke, and then he felt a little distressed in his heart.He put his arms around Nangongxuan's waist firmly, put his palm on Weilong's side, and said: "Rest, I'll go to Xiaoxi's place and ask you to eat sour plums."

Nangongxuan was obedient once in a while, but Li Yunke was not used to it.A normal Nangongxuan would definitely not be like this, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

On the way to Chenzhou, the two rode on the same horse, and Nangong Xuan always leaned on Li Yunke's arms obediently, without even raising his eyelids.Li Yunke held the rein in one hand and hugged him in the other. He could clearly feel the body temperature of the person in his arms, but he just couldn't let go of his eccentricity.

He looked down at the person in his arms who didn't know if he was asleep or clearly awake but refused to open his eyes, and thought, probably this is just worrying.

By the time we arrived in Chenzhou, Zishi was already past, and it stands to reason that the city gate should be closed, but Li Yunke sent someone to inform the magistrate, and the south gate has been reserved for them.

The magistrate came out to greet him in person, and when he saw Li Yunke, he wanted to go up and have a chat, but Li Yunke signaled him not to disturb the rest of the person in his arms.

The magistrate looked at Nangong Xuan with a look of surprise, and shut his mouth.

Li Yunke said in a low voice: "Thank you, my lord, but it's too late today, my wife is unwell and has already gone to sleep, why don't we have something to talk about tomorrow?"

Of course the magistrate didn't dare to say no, he hurried to the front to lead the way, and personally led him back to the guest room in the backyard of the government yamen that was hastily cleaned out.

Li Yunke dismounted from the horse with Nangong Xuan in his arms, and walked in behind the magistrate.

Maybe it was because I heard that the big man was coming, and the prefect's wife and concubines were not asleep. When they saw Li Yunke, they wanted to salute enthusiastically, but they were all stopped by the prefect.

However, although the magistrate's action was fast enough, it was not faster than his wife's mouth. The short noise penetrated into Nangong Xuan's ears. He frowned, stretched out his hand on his belly, and unconsciously rubbed it twice.

Li Yunke noticed that his steps were faster.

Nangong Xuan could hear other people's voices, and felt that he was not asleep, but he couldn't wake up.

Many disorganized footsteps sounded around, making him uncomfortable, but fortunately, those sounds disappeared soon.He felt that he was gently placed on a bed that was not very comfortable, and then someone beside him was talking in a low voice, as if he was afraid of affecting him.

Later, a person wiped his face and hands and feet with a warm towel, and finally covered himself with a quilt.

That person didn't leave.

There was a warm and strong palm grasping his cold fingertips—this was the last thing Nangongxuan felt before falling into a coma.
