Yue Hongling woke up slowly, and it was already dusk.
The first thing she did was to look around, hoping to see Zhao Changhe.
There was no disappointment. Zhao Changhe sat beside the tent and actually made a fire. There was a stove on the fire and a clay pot on the stove. The faint scent of herbs could be smelled from it.
Is he... making medicine
When did you learn the skill
For some reason, seeing him boiling the medicine made me feel warmer than seeing any other scene.
It’s like when you come home after a hard day outside and your husband has prepared a delicious meal for you.
It’s like no matter how much wind and rain there is outside, there is always a solid harbor here.
That wandering heart will unknowingly become lazy and unwilling to move.
No, how can this be...
Yue Hongling struggled to get up. Zhao Changhe immediately sensed it and turned his head, frowning, and said in an unhappy voice: "Lie down!"
Yue Hongling: “?”
Oh, this younger brother still has a temper.
Zhao Changhe said, "Last time in the Xuanwu Secret Realm, the energy crystals cleansed your body and healed some of your previous hidden injuries. Do you think you can squander it now? You fight with others every day, and even after fighting, you still pretend to be a hero. Do you want to take care of your body?"
Yue Hongling pouted and somehow managed to mutter, "You want this body, right?"
Zhao Changhe: “?”
Yue Hongling leaned back, stared at the ceiling with a stiff neck, and stopped talking.
Really, how could I say such shameless flirting words to him? We haven't seen each other for such a long time, we feel a little strange...
The wounds on my body didn't hurt much, and they seemed to have almost healed. Only the wound on my shoulder, which was left by my death with Lan Tiankuo, still hurt... Uh, did he bandage it? For such a long wound, he must have taken it off before bandaging it...
Zhao Changhe glared at her and didn't say anything for a while. He opened the medicine jar and observed it for a moment, nodded, took a wooden stick to pick up the jar and put it aside, then took a cloth strip and wrapped his hands thickly, then carefully picked up the jar and poured the medicine.
Yue Hongling secretly glanced at his movements again, thinking that he was so lazy, but also a kind of indescribable happiness. The corners of her mouth unconsciously raised a smile, and she didn't even notice it.
Zhao Changhe brought the medicine bowl over, sat next to her, and blew into it carefully: "Here, the medicine is ready."
Yue Hongling heard her own voice and said softly: "What medicine? Aren't I just suffering from external injuries..."
"Of course it's for blood supplementation and healing of body tissue injuries..."
"When did you study medicine?"
"Just now." Zhao Changhe scooped a small spoonful, blew it for a long time, and brought it to her lips, which looked pale due to blood loss: "Ah..."
Yue Hongling opened her mouth and drank it. It was obviously extremely bitter, but it felt like drinking honey water, sweet from the root of her tongue to her stomach.
Sisi just walked to the door, poked her head out to take a look, her face wrinkled like a lemon peel, and she left angrily.
Even though both of them had extremely sharp senses, they seemed to feel nothing and continued to drink the medicine leisurely, one spoonful at a time.
Even after finishing the medicine, Yue Hongling still looked out eagerly, as if to say, "Why is there so little medicine?" Zhao Changhe couldn't help laughing when he saw her expression, "She's obviously a little girl who's two months younger than me."
Yue Hongling snorted twice, turned inside with the quilt in her arms, and didn't look at him.
Zhao Changhe's voice came from behind: "So, next time we should do this side-lying rear entry position?"
Yue Hongling turned back angrily: "I knew it, this is what you have in mind. Are you treating my injuries so that you can use them sooner?"
"Hey." Zhao Changhe reached out and wiped the medicine stains on the corners of her lips, smiling: "Little girl."
"Hello!"
Zhao Changhe leaned over and pecked her lightly on the lips: "Take a good rest."
After saying that, he stood up and put the empty bowl on the table in the corner: "From a doctor's point of view, it's best for you to lie down for three days without moving... But your physique seems to have changed. Your recovery ability is much stronger than that of a normal warrior, and you have a very fierce killing power. Is it the effect of absorbing the Zhenwu Sword Stone at that time?"
"Well, I feel like I'm transforming a sword body. I don't know what it's called."
"In theory, it's called the Supreme Sword Body, but you didn't follow the energy of the sword stone completely. Maybe you can form your own unique sword body in the future. Or maybe you can call it the Changhe Body?"
Yue Hongling stared: "This is clearly Hongling body, how come it is Changhe body?" "Because it belongs to Zhao Changhe."
"Bah, you are shameless!"
Zhao Changhe sat back down and put his hand across the back of her neck.
The girl who had just been calling him shameless leaned into his shoulder very naturally and softly.
Zhao Changhe whispered, "Does it belong to Zhao Changhe?"
Yue Hongling huddled against his shoulder, pouted for a long time, and finally whispered, "Yes."
She could even guess why Zhao Changhe said such an aggressive thing. The next sentence would probably be: "Don't fight alone outside and get bruised and battered, because this body belongs to me..."
But unexpectedly, Zhao Changhe did not say so. Instead, he said: "So I have to take good care of her. When you still want to travel the world with your sword, you can be more unrestrained."
Yue Hongling's heart skipped a beat, as if a huge rock had hit the lake, creating ripples that made her feel numb.
"You..." She wanted to say something, but her lips were blocked again.
Yue Hongling simply said nothing and obediently moved her legs a little to allow him to invade.
Your mouth will be filled with the taste of medicine, it will be so bitter.
Zhao Changhe didn't feel any pain at all, and kissed her fiercely to vent his longing for her after not seeing her for a long time. Then he finally hugged her contentedly, feeling the rare dependence of the heroic female hero.
I also feel quite satisfied in my heart... Who can see Yue Hongling like this
The pale lips from blood loss were kissed red, and her face was faintly flushed. She felt that her behavior after waking up was very unlike Yue Hongling.
But what can I do... When I was exhausted like this again, he appeared by my side like a god, and he made medicine and fed me so gently, saying that it was to let me travel the world with my sword more freely.
How come he is so capable now...
The two of them hugged each other quietly for a while, and Zhao Changhe finally asked the main question: "Hey, what happened to you in Jianlu? I saw traces of your fight with the disciples of Jianlu, and it seemed that you were injured."
"I was injured."
"What did you find out about them?"
"Well..." Yue Hongling said, "Originally, I just went to visit Jianlu to learn some of Jianlu's skills. Normally, I, Yue Hongling, am a famous swordsman in the martial arts world, and I have no grudges against Jianlu. If I come to visit and learn from Jianlu, a sword sect should be very welcoming. There will definitely be gains from mutual exchanges..."
"The results of it?"
"When I went there, Jianlu had already moved, and some people were still moving the follow-up items. I didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a routine move, so I went up to the leader and said hello politely, curiously asking where Jianlu was moving to. The leader was vague, and I felt something was wrong during the conversation, so I carefully observed their convoy..." Yue Hongling said, with a solemn and fearful tone: "In their team, I recognized an acquaintance who I had met in the martial arts world before, a person who was not a disciple of Jianlu at all."
Zhao Changhe asked curiously, "You became a disciple of Jianlu?"
"I just said hello to him, but he didn't respond to me at all. His eyes were dull and he didn't seem to have any human aura."
Zhao Changhe was shocked: "Corpse puppet? Sword slave?"
"My first reaction was that they looked like corpse puppets... But I recognized an acquaintance, which obviously violated the taboo. The leader suddenly changed his expression and began to attack me. I rushed to the side of the mountain, fighting and retreating. During the battle, I found that those suspected corpse puppets were indeed not injured or hurt. This is why I was injured."
"I thought it was Shi Wuding who arrived..."
“No, I had already run away when Shi Wuding arrived.” Yue Hongling looked a little proud: “My Ferghana horse runs fast. Later they chased me all the way, and I fled all the way to the southwest… By the way, there are also people chasing me in Shu County. There is something wrong with Shu County.”
Many confusions were suddenly cleared up.
There was no other reason for the "relocation" of Bashan Jianlu. It was obviously because they began to study the method of corpse puppets or sword slaves. They were afraid of being seen by outsiders, so they simply moved their entire sect to Miaojiang.
The use of Gu worms to control people here is not surprising. Even if the Xia people see something wrong, they can say it is the result of combining the Miao Gu technique.
However, Yue Hongling, who was born with the "luck of a heroine", happened to run into them at the tail end of their move and saw them. She also happened to recognize an acquaintance, so it was no surprise that a fight broke out...
As Shu County is also involved in this matter, coupled with the current unusual movements in Miao Territory, Yue Hongling may have accidentally opened up a very important world plot.
As a lone chivalrous woman, she couldn't do much... She was lucky that she met Sisi here and could help her do something. Otherwise, she would be alone in Miaojiang, and even if she started the plot, she could only watch it happen and could not do anything.
"One person can't do it after all." Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, your husband is here."
