The wound on Shangguan Yun's back was gushing blood, and nothing could stop it. Ouyang Yuqing was in a complete panic, his face turning deathly pale. It took him a long time to remember that Miss Luo Luo was a genius doctor!
Ouyang Yuqing quickly laid Shangguan Yun down in the carriage and dashed off to find Wu Luoluo.
He pinched Wu Luoluo's philtrum hard, but she still didn't wake up. Ouyang Yuqing was beside himself with anxiety. He slapped her face hard, and then she woke up, looking dazed. It took her a while to recognize that the person in front of her was the third young master of the Ouyang family.
Ouyang Yuqing stammered, "Miss Luo Luo! T - t - that young master has a wound on his back, and the blood just won't stop! Please go and take a look quickly!"
What? Hearing this, Wu Luoluo quickly scrambled to her feet and rushed towards the carriage with Ouyang Yuqing. Seeing the corpses strewn all over the place and the blood flowing like a river along the way, she almost burst into tears.
Did the young master kill all these people by himself? Wu Luoluo's legs were shaking so much that she could hardly stand. Fortunately, Ouyang Yuqing gave her a hand.
When Shangguan Yun woke up again, it was completely dark. He was lying in a copper pot taking a medicinal bath, and the pain from the wound on his back was piercing. Suddenly, a head popped out from the right side and called out joyfully, "Brother! You're awake?"
Shangguan Yun looked around and found that they were in the wilderness. He couldn't help being a bit surprised. Why hadn't Ouyang Yuqing left yet? "T - third young master, where are we?"
Ouyang Yuqing replied, "We originally wanted to take you back to the Ouyang Mansion to recuperate, but you were talking nonsense all the way, and you even... called out a girl's name and said you were in a hurry to return to the capital. We had no choice but to take you out of Phoenix City." When Ouyang Yuqing said this, he carefully glanced at Wu Luoluo who was decocting medicine by the campfire. Seeing that she showed no reaction, he finally felt a bit relieved.
Shangguan Yun thought to himself: The city gate is actually open? It seems that Prefect Nie has learned his lesson.
Shangguan Yun never expected that someone had used his name to get rid of Prefect Nie. He looked up at Wu Luoluo who was decocting medicine by the campfire, and felt a twinge of guilt in his heart. This girl had been following him all the way, scared out of her wits, and she looked extremely haggard.
Ouyang Yuqing thought to himself: Are you sure she's not haggard and dejected because you called out another girl's name when you were unconscious?
Seeing that Shangguan Yun remained silent and Wu Luoluo didn't say a word either, Ouyang Yuqing felt that the atmosphere was getting a bit strange. He quickly tried to smooth things over, "Just now when you were unconscious and bleeding non - stop, fortunately Miss Luo Luo was by your side and did her best to save you. She stitched up your wound and applied acupuncture to the acupoints, and that's how she saved your life!"
The two still remained silent. Shangguan Yun even kept his head down without changing his expression.
Ouyang Yuqing felt that the atmosphere was getting even weirder. He couldn't help thinking to himself: What's going on? Shouldn't a normal person express sincere gratitude to Miss Wu for her heartfelt concern at this point? Why is this brother as silent as a mute? Did I accidentally touch a sensitive topic and make them both feel awkward and unable to say a word?
Ouyang Yuqing, Ouyang Yuqing, your mouth is really too sharp! Can you use your brain when you speak in the future?
Ouyang Yuqing scolded himself in his heart, and then quickly found another topic, "Brother! I picked up that heavy crossbow from the snow. I want to give it to you!" The crossbow was extremely heavy, and he was too embarrassed to admit that he had dragged it all the way. It was Miss Luo Luo who helped him carry it onto the carriage.
Finally, there was an expression on Shangguan Yun's face. He shook his head and said indifferently, "No thanks."
Ouyang Yuqing thought he disliked it and quickly explained, "Although it's a bit damaged, a good blacksmith can still restore it. Moreover, none of the men in our Ouyang family can draw its string. Only you! It really showed its power in your hands. It's only useful when it's with you!" It would be a great pity for such a sharp weapon to be left in the Ouyang Mansion gathering dust.
Shangguan Yun slowly shook his head and said, "I don't think I'll need it in the future. If you want to learn how to use it, I can teach you later." The recoil of that heavy crossbow was too strong. After using it, the webbing between his thumbs on both hands was badly injured. When he forcibly crushed Wang Jiu's neck, his hand cramped in pain.
Ouyang Yuqing asked excitedly, "Is this true?"
Shangguan Yun nodded and said, "Yes. But you need to wear protective gear." Otherwise, the webbing between the thumbs couldn't bear it. His injury would probably take a long time to heal.
Ouyang Yuqing nodded repeatedly.
Shangguan Yun looked up at the star - filled sky and then asked him, "It's so late. Why aren't you going back to the mansion?"
Ouyang Yuqing looked a bit embarrassed and whispered, "Brother, I've thought it over carefully. I want to go to the capital with you. Firstly, I want to visit my little aunt. Secondly, I want to learn martial arts from you!"
Shangguan Yun: …
Ouyang Yuqing was afraid that Shangguan Yun would not agree, so he quickly added, "There were several ancestors in my family who were extremely skilled in martial arts and died on the battlefield to defend our country. Later, our family declined, and no one practiced martial arts anymore. My father used to spend a lot of money hiring bodyguards to transport goods when he was doing business. Brother, I really want to learn martial arts from you! I don't expect to be like my ancestors and kill enemies on the battlefield. As long as I have the strength to protect our Ouyang family, that's enough!"
Shangguan Yun said speechlessly, "It's a bit late for you at this age."
Ouyang Yuqing: …
Shangguan Yun continued, "If you really want to learn, it's okay. You should go back first and get the consent of your old matriarch and the family head. Then take care of and hand over all the family affairs. After you've done all that, come and find me in the capital." I'm in a hurry to return to the capital to marry Luoluo. You can't follow us all the way and prevent me from spending time alone with Luoluo.
Ouyang Yuqing was a bit in a dilemma. He felt that his ancestors wouldn't let him travel thousands of miles to the capital to learn martial arts. At most, they would find a fairly good martial arts master locally to teach him some self - defense moves. But how could those people be compared with this handsome brother!
Seeing that he hesitated for a long time, Shangguan Yun couldn't help waving his hand and saying, "All right, go back first! Miss Wu and I not only have to rush back to the capital to get married, but also go to see your little aunt."
Get married? Ouyang Yuqing's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed happily, "Such a great happy event! I must go and have a glass of wedding wine!"
Shangguan Yun thought: Actually, you don't have to. I want to spend time alone with my little wife all the way! Thank you!
Ouyang Yuqing grabbed Shangguan Yun's hand excitedly and said, "How about this! Brother and Miss Luo Luo go to Jiang City and wait for me. I'll go to the capital with you under the pretext of attending your wedding! And I can visit my little aunt by the way!" Anyway, I'm determined to learn martial arts. If necessary, I'll just go ahead without telling my family.
Shangguan Yun: …
Ouyang Yuqing happily knelt on the ground with a thud and said loudly, "Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"
Shangguan Yun: …
Wu Luoluo walked over with a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine, a half - smile on her face, and handed the bowl to Ouyang Yuqing. Ouyang Yuqing held it with both hands and said piously, "Master! Then this disciple will use the medicine instead of tea and feed you the medicine!"
Shangguan Yun: There's really no need for this!
Ouyang Yuqing completely ignored the resistance in Shangguan Yun's eyes. He carefully blew on the traditional Chinese medicine in the bowl and then brought it to Shangguan Yun's mouth to pour it in.
