Chapter 1456: Rushing

Editor: Atlas Studios

In the dark lake, Yun Shuang held her breath and tried her best to find Jiang Guanchao.

The lake was long, and Jiang Guanchao seemed to have been washed away. Yun Shuang circled the pleasure boat but found nothing.

Yun Shuang surfaced, took a deep breath, and continued to dive.

The water was faster than expected, and there were no traces of blood.

Jiang Guanchao, where are you?

–

On the shore.

Su Xiaoxiao and Princess Hui An looked in the direction of the pleasure boat.

The pleasure boat had wandered too far and they could no longer see it.

“He hasn’t returned for so long. Nothing will happen, right?”

Princess Hui An asked worriedly.

After a pause, she added, “I’m not worried about that person. I’m worried about Palace Lord Yun.”

Princess Hui An liked Palace Lord Yun very much and hoped that she would be safe.

As for the master who always wanted to kill Su Xuan, his martial arts were so powerful that nothing should happen.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The pleasure boats do business till late. Sometimes, they only come back at dawn.”

“All night?”

Princess Hui An was surprised.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said to Princess Hui An, “I’ll send you to the Marquis of Weiwu’s Mansion first.”

Princess Hui An said, “I want to wait for Palace Lord Yun here.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Aren’t you afraid that your uncle will be worried?”

Princess Hui An said firmly, “Uncle won’t be worried if he finds out that I’m with you!”

Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at Cheng Xin, who was silently playing with the lantern. “Cheng Xin, let’s go find Mother Palace Lord, okay?”

Cheng Xin refused.

Cheng Xin didn’t know how to swim, nor did she like to go into the water.

Su Xiaoxiao was the only person who could make her go against her preferences and overcome her weakness.

Cheng Xin had her own thoughts and wishes, so Su Xiaoxiao didn’t force her.

Su Xiaoxiao called Wuhu over and said generously, “Ten bird pieces of food to find Mother Palace Lord.”

Wuhu raised the price. “Thirty pieces!”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

–

Yun Shuang followed the direction of the water and finally found the unconscious Jiang Guanchao on a reef at the bottom of the lake.

He lay there quietly, without his usual killing intent.

The moonlight shone through the water and shone on his slender body.

His black hair and robe swayed in the water. From afar, he looked like a demon emperor who had fallen into the water and was filled with mystery and charm.

However, there was also endless danger.

Yun Shuang swam towards him without hesitation.

She stretched out her fair arm and hugged his strong waist tightly from underwater, bringing him up to the moonlight.

This place was already far from the shore. To add insult to injury, there were no boats on the nearby water.

Yun Shuang looked around and saw a mountain range.

The mountain seemed close, but it was actually extremely far.

Yun Shuang didn’t know how long she swam with him until she exhausted all her strength.

Finally, exhausted, she saw the riverbank.

She resisted the exhaustion and pushed him up with the last of her strength.

–

“Girl Shuang… Girl Shuang… Girl Shuang!”

Yun Shuang shuddered and opened her eyes.

“Madam, you’re awake?”

A little girl came over and asked.

Yun Shuang looked at this unfamiliar and inexperienced face and looked around. She realized that she was lying in a tent made of thatch with a hide under her.

Other than her and the little girl, there was no other person.

The little girl said, “Madam, you’ve been asleep for three days! If you don’t wake up soon, we can only bring you back to the Southern Wilderness!”

Yun Shuang was puzzled. “The Southern Wilderness?”

The little girl smiled and said, “That’s right. We’re businessmen from the Southern Wilderness who came to the Great Zhou to do business. My master is a kind person. When he saw you faint by the river, he saved you.”

Yun Shuang asked, “Where’s the person with me?”

“Brother Li!”

A happy and delicate woman’s voice came from outside. “Look what I brought you.”

The little girl lifted the curtain of the tent and pointed at a burly and cold man outside. “Are you talking about him?”

Yun Shuang saw Jiang Guanchao.

Jiang Guanchao sat on an inconspicuous stool.

He changed out of his clothes and wore the clothes of a businessman.

Previously, his head was injured and should have been treated. There was a thick layer of gauze wrapped around his eyes, but there was still some blood seeping out near his right ear.

He looked into the distance without moving, his expression calm and distant.

This was the first time Yun Shuang had seen Jiang Guanchao like this.

“Brother Li!”

A girl from the Southern Wilderness came to Jiang Guanchao with a smile and handed the oil paper bag in her hand to him. “The lotus cake you want!”

It was not strange for him to use aliases when he traveled the martial world.

Yun Shuang’s gaze swept across the girl’s bright and moving smile and landed on Jiang Guanchao’s expressionless face.

Jiang Guanchao brought the snacks over and opened them, but he did not eat them.

The girl from the Southern Wilderness squatted down in front of him and sized up him curiously. “Brother Li, why aren’t you eating?”

Jiang Guanchao said slowly, “Here, Shuangshuang eat it.”

Yun Shuang’s heart skipped a beat.

The girl from the Southern Wilderness miled and picked up a piece. “One piece is enough for me!”

Yun Shuang frowned slightly, feeling that the two of them did not match each other’s words.

“Shuang!”

The voice she had heard in her sleep appeared again.

Yun Shuang was curious who was calling her.

At this moment, the girl from the Southern Wilderness turned her head and said loudly, “What are you doing, Dad? Didn’t I say that I would come over later?”

Yun Shuang was stunned.

The little girl followed Yun Shuang’s gaze and introduced with a smile, “That’s my young lady.”

“Xiao Nan!”

“Xiao Nan!”

The little girl responded and got up to leave the tent.

Looking at the back of the little girl and the girl from the Southern Wilderness, Yun Shuang walked out.

This seemed to be the camp where the merchants of the southern border were temporarily stationed. There were many tents and carriages around. To the east was a forest, and to the west was a stream.

Someone was fetching water, washing, and washing rice by the stream.

Someone else dug the flue and set up a small stove with stone slabs.

Everyone was busy with their work, and not many people paid attention to Yun Shuang and Jiang Guanchao.

Jiang Guanchao was looking at the lotus cake in his hand in a daze.

Yun Shuang came to his side. “How… do you feel? Does your wound hurt?”

Jiang Guanchao said nothing.

A passing businessman saw Yun Shuang, who had just woken up, and kindly moved a stool for her.

“Thank you very much.”

Yun Shuang thanked him and sat down beside Jiang Guanchao. “Are you angry with me?”

Jiang Guanchao still ignored her.

Yun Shuang looked at him and said, “Your wound is oozing blood. I’ll help you bandage it again.”

She raised her hand to touch him.

Jiang Guanchao tilted his head and her hand froze in midair.

“It’s me.”

Yun Shuang said.

“Brother Li!”

The girl from the Southern Wilderness returned. She saw Yun Shuang. “Madam, you’re awake too?”

Yun Shuang nodded and was about to express her gratitude.

Suddenly, she saw the bun on her head.

To be precise, it was not the bun she was looking at, but a purple headband wrapped around it.

She was extremely sure that this was her headband.

There were originally two. After detoxifying the love poison with Jiang Guanchao for the first time, there was only one left.

She thought she had left it in the cave…

She looked at Jiang Guanchao.

Jiang Guanchao did not look at her. Instead, he looked at the purple headband on the girl’s head and called out in a daze, “Shuangshuang.”
