Wu Zechen had profound skills. Even though he was injured and still had a living person like Xia Luotong with him, his underwater breath-holding skills were still much better than Xia Luotong's.
Xia Luotong already felt a little uncomfortable, but Wu Zechen still took her out for a swim without stopping.
She held her breath hard, and until there were no more arrows piercing the water around her for a long time, Wu Zechen went upstream to the river, and then slowly came out of the water, trying to minimize the movement.
Wu Zechen looked around and after confirming that he had left the ship group, he lifted Xia Luotong out of the water.
As soon as she left the water, Xia Luotong couldn't help but breathe in the fresh air. For the safety of the two of them, she had really held it to the limit.
The general took a few breaths, and Xia Luotong quickly looked at Wu Zechen, his tone full of nervousness: "You were hit by an arrow in the back! How do you feel now? Let me take you to swim to the shore later?"
Wu Zechen saw that Xia Luotong was so concerned about him, with nervous and worried expressions on his face. He actually showed a gentle smile at this moment: "It turns out that Tong'er is also so nervous about me. These two arrows were not in vain."
"What are you talking about!" Xia Luotong glared at him helplessly, but at this moment he was reluctant to say harsh words, "You are my man! I will naturally be nervous about you!"
After saying that, she couldn't help but blush first, and a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes.
When Wu Zechen heard Xia Luotong's words "my man", he was so excited that he couldn't help but hold her tightly in his arms, as if she was embedded in his body.
He knew very well what Xia Luotong's words, demeanor and tone meant just now. How could he not be excited by this?
Xia Luotong naturally understood what this man was excited about. Her cheeks were still hot at the moment!
I just thought that this man was still injured...
She quickly pushed him gently: "Okay, hurry up and get ashore first, you are still injured!"
Wu Zechen also knew that the current situation was not suitable for staying for a long time, and quickly calmed down his excitement.
He originally wanted to continue swimming with Xia Luotong to the shore, but Xia Luotong was worried that he was injured now and he could swim, so he refused to let him hold him no matter what. The two of them swam there together. Riverside.
Fortunately, there was no wind or waves tonight, otherwise just falling into the river would have been enough for them to escape death.
The two of them landed on the shore. Wu Zechen swayed slightly and regained his balance. Xia Luotong was startled and quickly stepped forward to support him. Seeing that his face was slightly pale, he felt increasingly worried: "Achen, are you okay?"
Although Wu Zechen has great martial arts skills, he had obviously gone through a fierce fight in the banquet hall. He finally came to her side, but blocked the arrow for her. After falling into the river, he had to escape with himself injured. So After all the hard work, even my iron-clad body couldn't bear it anymore.
Even though the arrow wound on Wu Zechen's back was not critical, after such a long period of action, the injury had become much worse. The top priority was to get treatment as soon as possible.
"It's okay. I've experienced more serious injuries and worse situations. This injury is nothing." Wu Zechen gently stroked Xia Luotong's cheek full of water drops and comforted her with gentle eyes.
"Then you still need to treat it as soon as possible. Now that the arrow is still on your body, you have to pull it out as soon as possible." Xia Luotong rubbed his palm and said with a frown.
"Okay, but let's leave here as soon as possible first, and then deal with the wounds." After Wu Zechen said that, he pulled Xia Luotong and walked all the way to the dense forest by the river, far away from the shore.
Xia Luotong looked back at the calm river. They should have been carried downstream by the current. At this time, there was no sign of any dragon boats or ships on the river.
Walking through the dense forest, going deeper and deeper, until they reached a far enough distance, they finally settled in a cave.
The cave was not big, but it was enough to accommodate the two of them. They collected firewood and started a fire. Xia Luotong then found some branches and made a simple cover for the entrance of the cave.
After taking off the soaked clothes and drying them, and preparing some items, Xia Luotong began to treat Wu Zechen's wounds.
The wound was not too deep, but because Wu Zechen had been exercising, the condition of the wound was not good.
Fortunately, both of them brought very effective gold sore medicine with them on this trip, so it was not a big problem. After Xia Luotong treated Wu Zechen's wound, he applied the medicine. Next, he just had to be careful about Wu Zechen's condition in the middle of the night. .
Wu Zechen looked at Xia Luotong and looked like he was going to sit aside and watch the night. He immediately took Xia Luotong into his arms and used his own body temperature to warm her, fearing that she had just soaked for so long. The river water will be infected with wind and cold.
"You are injured. You should rest. How can I let you come to watch the night? Just sleep, I will keep an eye on you." Xia Luotong shook his head repeatedly and wanted to get up from his arms, but was locked tightly by him. into his generous chest.
"This injury is nothing. You have taken care of me for so long, please take a rest." After that, Wu Zechen hugged her and lay beside the bonfire.
Seeing that he wouldn't let go, Xia Luotong stopped struggling and nestled obediently in his arms. The coldness in her body was gradually dissipated, as if a warm current was slowly flowing through her.
I remembered that I had my pulse checked once today, but the pulse condition at that time was still uncertain...
Xia Luotong rested his head on Wu Zechen's chest, listening to the strong heartbeat, biting his lips from an angle that he couldn't see, and his eyes gradually became firmer.
She doesn't want anything to happen to Wu Zechen!
With a decision made in his heart, and thinking of what happened tonight, Xia Luotong started talking to Wu Zechen.
"Did you really encounter an assassination attempt in the banquet hall?" She always had doubts in her heart.
Wu Zechen gently stroked her back and said softly: "Well, we did encounter an assassination attempt, and it was directed at the emperor. The situation was critical at the time, and the emperor was also injured."
Xia Luotong was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the emperor was actually assassinated and even injured? !
"How was your injury? What was your condition like when you left the banquet hall?"
"My life is not in danger." Wu Zechen said quietly, "When I left, the assassins were still attacking, but all the guards have arrived. Nothing will happen to the emperor, but some ministers and family members are still affected."
Life is not in danger?
When Xia Luotong heard the news, he couldn't describe how he felt in his heart. It was probably regret, right? Listening to Wu Zechen's tone, she seemed to have some meaning.
"The assassins who besieged us just now must be the work of the emperor, right? Are they besieging me to lure you out?" Xia Luotong expressed her guess. It was the last wave of arrows that made her unable to avoid such suspicion. .
