He slowly breathed out a sigh of relief, his face brightened slightly, he picked up the reins on the elephant's back again, and steered the war elephant towards Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan and Liu Xin reined in their horses in time. They raised their heads almost at the same time and looked at the huge beast in front of them.
"Come up quickly." Shen Yanchu raised his chin.
Liu Ruyan got off her horse and came to the war elephant, looking up at him in disbelief.
Shen Yanchu gave instructions in Bai language, and the war elephant lowered its body, with its long trunk hanging to the ground.
As soon as Liu Ruyan stepped on the chain mail on the elephant's trunk, the elephant raised its trunk and sent her into the tower.
Liu Xin followed suit and climbed into the building by the elephant's trunk.
"Not bad, not bad." Liu Xin sighed repeatedly, feeling that it was worth it to ride an elephant once in this life.
Shen Yanchu glanced at the two of them. When he saw the surprise in Liu Ruyan's eyes, he turned his face indifferently, but could not hide a smile on his lips.
Very light and shallow.
"Sit tight." He said calmly.
Liu Xin clicked his tongue and marveled, "I didn't expect Brother Xiao Qi to be able to control an elephant. What a talent."
"Xiao Qi?" Shen Yanchu murmured to himself, then suddenly realized, "Stingy?"
No wonder he always felt there was something wrong with this name.
"Ahem—" Liu Ruyan directly moved her eyes away, sitting still like an old monk.
Shen Yanchu shook his head helplessly.
That's all, she was the one who got the name after all, and it's not unpleasant at all.
Compared with Bai Zhi's "Gou Dan", Dong Qingxian's "Zhang Erhei" is simply much more elegant.
Shen Yanchu compared it secretly and became increasingly satisfied. He took the reins and drove the war elephant to run.
War elephants are so large that the ground shakes when they run fast.
Liu Ruyan stretched out her hand and grasped the iron railing firmly to prevent herself from being thrown away.
The metallic sound of elephant armors was heard in her ears, and she looked into the distance through the tower. All the armor and horses turned into afterimages, quickly passing by before her eyes.
With the war elephant as his chariot, the surrounding Southern Han soldiers fled for cover.
They had a smooth journey and galloped through the vast wilderness.
After Liu Ruyan got out of the predicament, she asked Ye Xun to retrieve Dong Qingxian's recorded video and found that Dong Qingxian was not far from her.
"Go to the southwest, Dong Qingxian is there." She said to Shen Yanchu.
"I didn't expect that he could break into this place alone." Shen Yanchu was quite surprised.
The distance was getting closer and closer, Liu Ruyan stood up and looked out, and saw Dong Qingxian from a distance, single-handedly breaking through the sea of people.
Dong Qingxian is not fond of fighting, and he will not seriously injure others when he attacks.
He had no intention of hurting anyone, but when soldiers went into battle to kill the enemy, they would never be merciful. Therefore, even though Dong Qingxian was wearing armor, his chest was already dripping with blood.
The long battle exhausted all his strength. Dong Qingxian's lips turned white as he walked through the sea of people step by step and unswervingly.
Looking into the distance, a sparkling river meanders, and the large ships of the Southern Han Army can be vaguely seen.
If he tried his best to rescue Gong Shuyu, others would not have to be in danger, Dong Qingxian held back the pain and thought secretly.
"Brother Erhei——"
Who is calling him?
Dong Qingxian looked back sadly. From a distance, he saw Liu Ruyan and Liu Xin lying on the back of the war elephant, waving vigorously to him.
Dong Qingxian immediately jumped up and reached the tower in the blink of an eye.
"You're injured." Liu Ruyan couldn't help but frowned when she noticed the blood on his chest.
He covered it with his hand, "It's just a small injury, it's not a problem."
Looking at those hideous wounds, she asked again and again: "Is it really okay?"
Dong Qingxian nodded naturally, "I have never lied to you. Just let Bai Zhi apply some medicine later."
"In that case..." Liu Ruyan said slowly, her palms swung forward unexpectedly and swept across his chest.
Dong Qingxian was completely unaware that she would suddenly attack. He protected his wound and narrowly avoided the blow.
Liu Ruyan immediately stopped her hand, stared at him and said, "You said the injury was not serious, and you don't even look at how bad her face looks now."
Dong Qingxian pursed her lips and remained silent.
"There's nothing we can do about it." She sighed and put her right hand into her pocket, pretending to get something, but in fact she exchanged it for the best Jinchuang Medicine from the system mall.
Dong Qingxian watched helplessly as she took out medicine bottles, scissors, and fine cloth from the bag one after another... He didn't expect that she brought so many things with her.
"Liu Xin, do you know how to take medicine?" she asked.
Liu Xin scratched his head, "Do you want me to apply medicine for him?"
He knows how to do it, but this is his first time giving medicine to someone.
Liu Ruyan took into account that Dong Qingxian was too thin-skinned to take off other people's clothes in public, so she turned her back to them and said, "Can you please bandage his wounds?"
"Okay, let me give it a try." Liu Xin held up the Jinchuang Medicine.
She pursed her lips and said again: "Remember to be gentle so as not to cause pain."
Liu Xin nodded and went to help Dong Qingxian undress.
"Actually...just cut the shirt along the wound." She couldn't help but explain.
Liu Xin clumsily followed the instructions.
Dong Qingxian was silent for a moment, then interrupted: "Let me do it."
He directly lifted up the hem of his clothes, took the fine cloth from Liu Xin's hand, soaked it with water, and applied it carefully along the wound.
Liu Xin felt pain just looking at it.
When the blood stains on the chest and abdomen were completely wiped away, the entire fine cloth was so red that it almost dripped with blood.
Dong Qingxian pressed her lips tightly and gently applied the ointment. The cool ointment melted and absorbed, and the pain suddenly disappeared.
"Fortunately, it didn't hurt any vital parts." Liu Xin sighed.
These stab wounds look ferocious, but they are just skin wounds and will heal after a while.
Liu Ruyan stood with her back to him. When she heard Liu Xin say that the injury was not serious, she felt relieved and said, "I will handle the rest of the matter. You can rest well and don't use force again."
Dong Qingxian was bandaging his wound. When he heard her say this, he immediately raised his eyes and saw her straight back.
"I'm fine, I can help everyone."
"Since you're injured, don't take any more risks." Shen Yanchu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "As long as I'm here, everyone will be fine."
"Okay..." Dong Qingxian lowered his head in dismay, with some unwillingness in his eyes.
As they got further and further away from the war zone, at the end of the mountain road, a long river flowed, and the ships of the Southern Han Dynasty crossed the entire river.
Liu Xin raised his eyes and saw that the battleships were so densely packed that his eyes were dazzled.
"Which ship do you think Gongshuyu is hiding on? How can we find it?"
Liu Ruyan jumped off the elephant and walked straight to the river beach.
She raised her hand and pointed to a place, "Beside the reef, there is the black battle flag."
Liu Xin was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, "You know this too, you're just blind!"
"Just follow her." Shen Yanchu said firmly, and tied the war elephant to a tree.
Liu Xinxin felt strange. She just thought that this was the instruction given to her by the general, so he followed...
Seeing several people gradually walking away, Dong Qingxian stood there and hesitated for a moment. Finally, he didn't want to stay on the shore. He found a crossbow and caught up, "I'll cover you."
Liu Ruyan glanced at the crossbow in his hand. With his ability, he would be fine.
"Then be careful in everything you do and don't get hurt again."
