Chapter 353 Eyes restored
Xue Huang sat alone by the bed to heal her wounds. She dripped a few drops of blood onto the gem, but Mu Guang still did not react.
It seems that this time, he was really seriously injured and couldn't even talk to her.
She stayed in the room for a day and a night, but Mo Yunchen did not come back.
Duan Yun didn't reveal anything to her, only telling her that everything would be foolproof and to put her mind at ease.
But Xue Huang couldn't sleep well. She had a bad feeling in her heart, so she kept meditating beside the bed.
It seemed to be snowing outside, the wind was howling, and it was extremely cold.
After an unknown amount of time, she heard the sound of fighting outside. She immediately stood up and grasped the hilt of the Qingshuang sword.
Sure enough, he still came.
The sounds of fighting were getting closer, and it seemed like there were quite a few people outside.
Just as Xue Huang was about to push the door open to go out, Duan Yun hurried in.
"Princess, come with me and leave here."
"Who sent this person?"
"I'm not sure. Logically speaking, it's impossible for Lu Jing to know the whereabouts of the princess. Princess, I'm sorry." After he finished speaking, he grabbed Xue Huang's wrist and took her out.
But after taking a few steps, he stopped and heard the sound of swords clashing. It was obvious that they were being caught up.
Xue Huang swung out a palm based on her feeling, hitting no one knew how many people she hit. Anyway, Duan Yun started to lead her forward again.
Judging from the sound, the other side has a lot of people, and the people left behind by Mo Yunchen may not be able to stop them.
"You can't escape with a blind me. We will be caught up soon."
"I will fight to the death to protect the princess and live up to the trust of the prince."
"But the reality is, even if you try your best, it will be useless." Xue Huang pulled him back and said, "Be my eyes."
"Princess?"
"Instead of waiting to die, it's better to take a chance."
"it is good."
Duan Yun brought her to a stop, and the pursuers behind them quickly rushed up. He stepped forward with a sword to buy time for Xue Huang.
It was snowing, which was the perfect time for Snow Phoenix's Mysterious Ice Curse.
Ice and snow grew, the ice condensed in an instant, and ice blades formed in the sky.
"Stand back." Xue Huang said.
Duan Yun stepped back immediately and saw that the entire courtyard was instantly frozen by a thick layer of ice, and the almost transparent ice blades shot out like an overwhelming force.
Wherever it passed, frost condensed, and the killers who pounced on it were frozen into ice sculptures in an instant.
With such terrifying killing power, no one dared to get close.
But the other party reacted quickly, drawing his bow and arrow in an instant, and countless arrows flew towards him.
"Princess, be careful." Duan Yun immediately swung his sword to knock down the rain of arrows shot towards them, then pulled Xue Huang to temporarily hide behind a rockery.
Xue Huang could only rely on her feeling to meet the attack with the ice blade again, but her vision was blocked, which greatly affected her accuracy.
Her arm was also scratched, but it was not serious. Instead, she felt that Duan Yun's right shoulder blade was pierced by an arrow.
Her arms and ribs were probably injured as well. She felt the cuts on her clothes, and everything around them was wet.
Xue Huang frowned. He had suffered this injury before he came to see her.
"Princess, you go first. They are cooperating with each other from far and near. We have no chance of winning."
First, use close combat to attract their attention, and then the archers in the distance take the opportunity to move. One is seriously injured and the other is invisible. How can they escape?
"Stop talking nonsense. Continue to be my eyes. Keep your bearings."
Duan Yunqiang pushed himself up and said, "The front is north, the back is south, the left is west, and the right is east. Northwest is in the middle."
Xue Huang immediately condensed the ice blade and manipulated it to attack. However, as soon as she made a move, more than a dozen arrows shot towards her. Xue Huang dodged in time, but her shoulder was still scratched.
"Due west and northwest." Duan Yun spoke again.
Xue Huang immediately gathered her inner strength and attacked again. She immediately felt a strong wind coming straight towards her face.
Duan Yun pulled her in time, and Xue Huang escaped again.
However, this time, the other party seemed to have seen through their intentions and came around the wall. They also seemed to know that the Snow Phoenix could not see, so their formation became more scattered.
"Southwest by south, southeast center." Duan Yun clenched the sword.
Xue Huang took action immediately to avoid being attacked from all sides.
She swung her palm, first freezing her opponent with extreme cold to restrict his movement, and then turned around to block the incoming arrow.
Duan Yun's right shoulder was injured and his arms were numb, so he was unable to block the rain of arrows.
The rockery where they were hiding was attacked continuously and could no longer hold out.
"Be careful." Duan Yun protected Xue Huang and crouched down.
Xue Huang pulled Duan Yun behind her, then struck the ground with her palm. In an instant, a row of ice spikes more than one person tall sprang out from the snow, temporarily replacing the rockery.
But her own neck was grazed by the arrow. If the ice spike had not touched the arrow tail at the moment it rose, causing its angle to deviate, the arrow would probably have pierced her chest.
Duan Yun's injuries had become even more serious, and Xue Huang could hear his suppressed cries of pain.
She reached out and touched him, only to find that his left arm and left calf were each hit by an arrow.
Now he can't leave.
The rain of arrows lasted for a long time before stopping, because the Snow Phoenix's ice was too hard and these arrows were completely useless.
She heard approaching footsteps and slowly stood up.
With the cold air lingering all around and snow swirling around, the only thing he could do was to fight for his life.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Xue Huang activated the Mysterious Ice Curse, and cold air and ice blades came out and all shot towards her. How many arrows she could shoot down depended entirely on luck.
The screams continued, but the footsteps became more and more frequent.
Xue Huang sighed slightly in her heart and circulated her internal energy again, but this time, the darkness in front of her eyes seemed to recede, and was replaced by a layer of white mist.
She blinked hard, and the white mist began to dissipate slowly. Then she saw a shadow approaching her quickly.
Xue Huang quickly struck out with her palm, and saw that the shadow avoided her palm power and appeared in front of her in an instant.
She wanted to strike out again, but the shadow had already grabbed her wrist. The next moment, she heard a familiar voice, "I'm back. It's okay."
Xue Huang was stunned for a moment, and her tense nerves relaxed, and she even seemed to have lost all strength.
She blinked, and Mo Yunchen's face became clear in front of her. Although it was still blurry, she could still see it clearly.
But she didn't say anything, because she saw the pain he felt for her in his eyes.
Mo Yunchen's attention was all on her wound. He was carefully reaching out to check the arrow wound on her neck, with deep fear in his eyes.
If the arrow had been just a little off, it would have pierced her throat.
"Does it hurt?" His frown was filled with love and regret for her, and undisguised affection.
Xue Huang lowered her eyes. She must have seen it wrong because her eyes had not healed yet.
"I'm fine, check to see if he's dead."
Mo Yunchen picked her up by the waist and took her back to her room.
The sounds of fighting outside soon stopped and the battlefield was cleaned up.
Only then did Xue Huang feel the pain from the wounds on her body. She was not seriously injured. The wound on her shoulder bled the most, followed by her neck. Fortunately, no vital parts were injured.
"How is Duan Yun?"
"He is seriously injured, but his life is not in danger." Mo Yunchen said.
"Who wants to kill me?"
"Zhou Tianyu." Mo Yunchen said as he treated her wound. "He secretly cooperated with Lu Jing. Those people from the Jianghu before were also sent by him. It was my negligence that put you in danger."
Xue Huang was not unfamiliar with this name. She had caused the generals defending the city to abandon the city and flee, so she naturally resented her. But she did not expect that Zhou Tianyu could mobilize so many people from the martial arts world.
"Where is he now?"
"Dead." Mo Yunchen said. "Things here have been settled."
"Then can we set off now?"
Mo Yunchen remained silent and lifted her collar.
Xue Huang reacted and held his hand, "I can do it myself."
Mo Yunchen tried to press her acupoints, but surprisingly, Xue Huang had predicted his move and stopped her directly.
He was a little surprised, "Can you see now?"
Xue Huang rubbed her eyes and blinked hard a few times. "It feels like there is a fog, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry."
"When did you see it?"
"Just now."
Mo Yunchen said nothing, fetched the medicine, soaked a piece of cloth in it and applied it to her eyes. "After a few more days of care, she should be able to recover completely."
"No problem. It won't delay our journey."
"I told you that you have to cooperate with me."
"Aren't things here over? Why should I cooperate with you?"
"Heal your wounds." Mo Yunchen poured the medicine on her shoulder, "Before I set off, I at least want to see these wounds on your body heal."
"It's just a flesh wound."
"If you keep talking, your eyes will be shut up."
Xue Huang frowned, "Stop threatening me."
Mo Yunchen pulled her clothes on. "What if I threaten you? Our lives are tied together. No one can abandon us, right?"
Xue Huang didn't want to argue anymore. He couldn't stay here forever anyway. He would have to go back to Shangyang City sooner or later. Since he had said before that he would take her to meet Mo Ruilin at the banks of the Chishui River, she just had to wait patiently.
She said nothing, just lay down and closed her eyes to rest.
Not long after, she smelled a fragrance and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, she slept until noon. This sleep was unusually sound.
She stretched, pushed the door and walked out.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and Xue Huang's eyes felt a little uncomfortable. She stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, and found that her vision seemed to be better.
It's no longer as clear and blurry as last night.
But she always wanted to rub it, always feeling that she would be able to see clearly if she rubbed it.
As a result, my eyes turned red.
After Mo Yunchen noticed her actions, he said to her with a cold face: "Every time you rub me, I will leave at night."
Xue Huang had no choice but to give up and rest obediently.
The medicine prepared by Mo Yunchen was very effective. After three or four days, her wounds had scabbed over. However, her eyes were still not completely healed, and she could still see things blurry, but she had no problem seeing things close up.
He finally agreed to leave.
Early in the morning, the team reorganized and prepared to set off.
Xue Huang was sitting in the carriage. She opened the curtain and saw Duan Yun being supported by Duan Feng as he came out and prepared to get on the carriage behind.
Duan Feng bowed to her and said, "Greetings, Princess."
Duan Yun secretly pulled Duan Feng's sleeve, signaling him to stop shouting.
Xue Huang ignored him and looked at Duan Yun, "How is your injury?"
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I am fine now."
"Get in the car."
Duan Feng had someone help Duan Yun get on the carriage, and he stopped in front of Xue Huang's carriage and bowed, "I have offended the princess before, and I apologize to you here."
"You are following your master's orders, what crime have you committed?"
"Princess, I will be grateful to you for your kindness and resentment."
"Don't bother with that. I won't embarrass your brother. Don't worry."
Duan Feng was sincerely grateful, "Thank you, Princess."
Mo Yunchen walked into the carriage at this time, and it seemed that he was going to ride in the same carriage with Xue Huang.
Duan Yun bid farewell, "Farewell, Your Majesty."
The team sets off.
Xue Huang lowered the curtain and looked at Mo Yunchen, "Why don't you ride a horse?"
"It's a headache from the wind." He said lightly.
Xue Huang said nothing.
Mo Yunchen looked at her indifferent face and said, "You can still care about the injuries of my subordinates, but you don't care about me at all?"
"When did you become so hypocritical?"
"Are you turning your back on me so quickly?"
Xue Huang didn't want to talk to him any more, so she lay down on the side of the carriage and went to sleep.
After being jolted in the carriage for several days, Xue Huang couldn't stand it anymore and insisted on riding a horse to continue her journey.
Her eyesight recovered better and better and no longer affected her vision, so she rode her horse happily for a long distance.
Under the blue sky, she was dressed in white, riding a horse and waving the whip, riding away like a free bird.
Xue Huang hasn't felt so relaxed for a long time. She gallops across the world, as if trying to break free from the heavy fate that she is carrying.
She rode her horse to the top of a hill, leaving Mo Yunchen and the others far behind.
Then a man stood there and looked at the vast world.
Her sleeves fluttered, her long hair danced in the wind, and the smile on her face was as bright as the sun.
This is her, free and unrestrained, coming and going freely.
Mo Yunchen rode his horse to catch up with her and they looked at each other from a distance at the foot of the mountain.
Thousands of mountains and rivers are not as beautiful as her smile.
But her eyes could only see the vast heaven and earth.
This distance is so far.
Xue Huang lowered her eyes, the smile on her face disappeared, leaving only a trace of sadness.
She rode away and waited for the team to catch up by the river bank ahead.
When Mo Yunchen saw her again, there was only indifference and alienation on her face.
After all, she couldn't escape her fate, so she chose to return to this mortal world and wander between heaven and hell.
