In the dark room, Shi Ziran leaned against the wall, his face pale and his forehead drenched in cold sweat.
He had pulled out the three arrows from his back and bandaged them hastily with a piece of cloth torn from his clothes.
However, it did not stop the bleeding.
Instead, fresh blood dyed the cloth red and flowed down his back to the ground.
It was a heart-wrenching sight.
"Ziran." Ji Yunshu rushed to his side, not daring to touch him with her hands.
Bai Yin had someone stand guard outside. She patted Shi Ziran lightly, "Shi Ziran?"
Hearing this, Shi Ziran's body twitched. His breathing quickened as he struggled to open his eyes. He saw the two people in front of him clearly.
"Miss Ji? Bai Yin? "
Shock!
"Why … are you here?"
"Can you still walk?" Bai Yin asked him.
He panted heavily and shook his head weakly, "I … can't walk anymore. You should leave quickly. Don't worry about me."
"I won't leave you here alone." Ji Yunshu grabbed his hand.
"Miss Ji, listen to me. I know … my body can't hold on much longer. Even if I leave, I won't be able to go far. If that happens … I'll only be a burden to you."
"No!" "Listen to me." He turned towards Bai Yin and pleaded, "Bai Yin, I've never begged anyone in my life. Your Highness... Leave Miss Ji's safety in my hands. Now... I can no longer protect her. I only ask that you promise me that you'll take good care of her, and... find... find... find her."
Then … find … find Your Highness. "
Bai Yin frowned and held his hand, "Yunshu is my little sister. Even if you didn't say anything, I would still take good care of her."
"Then I can rest assured." Shi Ziran coughed.
He coughed up blood!
Ji Yunshu was worried. "Don't talk anymore. I won't leave you here. I'll take you away now."
At this time, the guard outside saw soldiers coming over with torches in the distance. He hurriedly rushed inside and said, "Hurry up! Someone's coming. "
Bai Yin couldn't care less.
"Let's leave this place first. You can't die here even if you have to die." He carefully pulled Shi Ziran up from the ground.
He carried him on his back!
So as not to touch his injured back.
Bai Yin said, "You mustn't fall asleep. I'll take you to Mo Ruo right now."
With that divine doctor Mo Ruo around, as long as he still had a breath left in him, he would be safe and sound.
After the three of them left.
Everyone avoided the soldiers and escaped the Gorge Gate Pass!
There were a few other people who had come with Bai Yin waiting outside the mountain pass.
Even the carriage was ready.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Those Central Plainsmen will catch up to us soon. "
Bai Yin helped the heavily injured Shi Ziran onto the carriage.
Ji Yunshu followed him.
"Go!"
The carriages started moving towards San Ye's camp.
Inside the carriage.
Shi Ziran leaned against the wall of the carriage, his face even paler than before. The blood at the corner of his mouth had dried and was stained with fresh blood.
Because of the escape, the wound on his back had worsened, and the bandage was dyed red with blood.
Like water!
Blood flowed all over the floor.
The carriage was moving very fast, so it jolted violently.
There was no other way, in case someone caught up to them.
Inside the carriage, Shi Ziran was already on the verge of death, breathing with difficulty.
"Bang!"
The carriage jolted violently, probably because the wheels of the carriage had rolled on a rock.
Shi Ziran's body also fell forward from the impact.
Fortunately, Ji Yunshu caught him and let him rest on her thighs.
Shi Ziran's back was stained with blood, and he felt as if his blood was about to run dry.
She quickly tore a few pieces of cloth from her robe and pressed them against Shi Ziran's back, but her hands were trembling.
Her eyes were filled with tears.
But they reflected the redness of his blood.
Shi Ziran moved his lips and called out, "Miss Ji."
"I'm here."
"It's no use. I … I can't wait to see Mo Ruo."
"You'll be fine, you'll definitely be fine. Soon, we'll be there soon. When we get to Mo Ruo, you'll be fine. He'll cure you. You'll be fine, you'll definitely be fine …"
She kept repeating the last sentence.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and her throat was choked with sobs, but she tried her best to speak calmly.
Shi Ziran laughed and cried. His eyelids drooped weakly. He opened his mouth and said, "After I die, you must … you must find His Highness. I believe that he's still alive."
"You won't die."
"You … must protect yourself. Don't … go back to the capital."
It was as if he was telling her what to do after her death.
Ji Yunshu's face was already covered in tears, but she bit her lip to prevent herself from sobbing. She tightened her grip on the table and said, "Don't talk anymore. You'll definitely be fine. We'll see Mo Ruo soon. He'll save you."
"Ugh!" Shi Ziran felt a chill run down his spine.
Ji Yunshu couldn't stop rubbing his hands.
She shouted, "Ziran, don't sleep. You mustn't sleep. Talk to me. You can say anything."
"Ugh …"
"Zijin already died because of me. I can't let you die because of me. I'll never be able to repay what I owe you in this lifetime!"
"You don't owe us anything. Zijin and I … willingly protected you, and willingly … worked for His Highness."
"Now that Jing Rong's life is in danger, nothing can happen to you!"
"I … can't hold on for much longer. As long as you're safe, I can also … pass on peacefully."
"No …"
Shi Ziran's lifeless eyes looked at the front of the carriage. His gaze passed through the swaying curtains and looked outside. He could feel the light from the torches outside slowly seeping into his eyes.
At that moment, he seemed to have seen something.
The corners of his mouth gradually curved into a smile.
There was no pain, no worry, no fighting or killing.
Everything was so beautiful. He said softly, "When I was young, Zi Jin and I grew up in the mountains. We … practiced martial arts together in the back of the mountains and meditated together with Master. In the courtyard, there was a … very, very big parasol tree. Every autumn, there would be fallen leaves everywhere. It was very … very beautiful. Beside the tree was a water tank that had rotted a long time ago. Master didn't … didn't allow it to be thrown away, so it had always been there. Beside the water tank was … was the path down the mountain. There were stone steps. From there … looking down, the entire mountain was covered in fog. It was so … so foggy … I seemed to see Zi Jin. She was standing under that tree.
She was waiting for me. Master … was there too. They waited for me for a long time … they kept … calling for me … "
His voice became softer and softer.
"Don't sleep, don't sleep. Ziran, don't sleep." Ji Yunshu held his cold hand. "Wake up. Zijin isn't calling for you. She's not here!"
"I … really saw her!" Shi Ziran slowly stretched out his hand.
He pointed to the front.
"She's … right there."
The corners of his mouth curved into a smile.
His eyes were filled with joy.
Little by little, his hand drooped down …
"Ziran, Ziran …" She screamed with all her might. Then, she shouted outside, "Hurry, hurry!"
Bai Yin heard the voices inside and ordered, "Hurry!"
Someone said, "That person is injured. If we hurry, I'm afraid …" He would die!
Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Yin interrupted, "We can't afford to waste any more time."
"Yes!"
Thus, the carriages sped up.
They galloped all the way.
After six hours, they finally arrived.
Mo Ruo had been waiting outside.
When he heard that something had happened to Jing Rong, he immediately sent Bai Yin to look for Ji Yunshu.
He waited for a long time.
Suddenly, he saw the carriages approaching from afar.
Someone shouted, "They're here, they're here."
They were very excited.
Bai Yin pulled the reins and immediately dismounted.
Mo Ruo asked, "How is it?"
"They've rescued him, but Shi Ziran is seriously injured."
"Seriously injured?" Mo Ruo rushed to the carriage. As soon as the curtain was pulled open, he smelled the thick scent of blood.
Inside the carriage, Ji Yunshu held Shi Ziran in her arms. Her eyes were lifeless.
Lifeless.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and it was a heart-wrenching sight.
She didn't cry, nor did she scream.
Shi Ziran lay motionless on her lap, his eyes tightly shut. His face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. His body was covered in blood, and his hands lay lifelessly on the ground, already pale.
At that moment, Mo Ruo's eyes reddened.
But he didn't give up. He reached out and grabbed Shi Ziran's hands.
His hands were already stiff and cold!
Moreover, they had no pulse.
