Chapter 9, the last time

Xiao Tunan looked up to the sky and laughed heartily, "What kind of medicine have you taken? You really do look like you're about to die! Tell me, so I can broaden my horizons, would you?"

Suddenly, a chill ran through her heart, and Qing Tong looked at Xiao Tu Nan in horror. He wouldn't... would he really take her back to the capital to find medicine?

Good! Good! Good! Good woman! Xiao Tunan's eyes were filled with a cold light as he said in a deep voice: "Yuan Qingtong! Look at the scars on my body! Xizhan Zhenye Wang swears to you, this is the third time I have almost died for you, and it will definitely be—" His voice suddenly turned icy, "The! Last! Time!"

However, he merely thought for a moment before abandoning this easy path, and instead personally led her back, the reason being so simple—his horse was fast! He did not trust others; his horse was a rare gem among steeds, his horse was the fastest!

Although he smiled, his heart was filled with inexplicable sorrow and anger. How convincingly she pretended! ... There was no breath, no heartbeat, and her body was growing colder in his hands ... ? ... Did she realize how cruel she was, allowing her body to grow cold in his hands bit by bit?

"One day and one night! It's barely enough for me to run back to the vicinity of Jinyang." Xiao Tunan sneered, "What a pity, all efforts wasted! You might as well keep playing dead for a while longer; perhaps you could make it back to the capital."

How long have I been unconscious

He ran for a day and a night, he was terrified for a day and a night, how afraid he was that the next time he approached, he would no longer hear that faint heartbeat! Does she know how long he had to lie on her to hear that heartbeat, which was much slower than that of an ordinary person? Does she also know how many times he heard that heartbeat in a day and a night? He did not want to waste a moment to pull the arrows from his body, yet countless times he bent down for that sound that supported him! Does she also know how many times he heard that heartbeat in a day and a night? He did not want to waste a moment to pull the arrows from his body, yet countless times he bent down for that sound that supported him!

But he would not give up, no matter what, he kept calling her, kept shaking her, kept leaning on her heart. Then he heard that faint, almost imperceptible heartbeat, slow to an unbelievable degree. Her heart was still beating! It was just that for some reason, it was beating so slowly! But without a doubt, her heart was still beating, she was still alive! At that moment, he cast everything aside! But without a doubt, her heart was still beating, she was still alive! At that moment, he cast everything aside!

When the arrow shot over, while he was lying on her to shield her, could she see or not see?

This woman has already grasped his temperament; she must believe that when she reaches the brink of death, he will surely be reluctant to part with her and will have no choice but to let her go

Xiao Tunan merely looked at her with a cold smile, "If I wanted to know, I wouldn't fall for your tricks!"

Perhaps the only thing she did not anticipate was that the one bringing her back to Kyoto would be none other than himself! According to common sense, his appearance at Dayuan would be tantamount to suicide; in order to save her, he would send her to the Xingzhou government, to the officials of Dayuan.

But now, she woke up without any issues, her internal energy was completely stable, and her meridians showed no signs of disturbance. She claimed that she had fallen ill, but what illness, aside from the effects of a death-like drug, could recover so quickly

Did she know or not when he was breaking through the barriers

Qing Tong's mind buzzed for a moment, rapidly spinning with thoughts. Some things were still vaguely remembered. When his heart condition flared up, he thought he was surely doomed this time, yet for some reason, he felt much better now. Looking at Asule in this state, it was evident that he had gone through a fierce battle

His gaze was extremely complex, cold, guarded, filled with anger, and even hatred, which greatly surprised Qing Tong. She had never imagined that one day Asule would look at her with such eyes

When his subordinates fell one by one in battle, did she hear it or not hear it

Qingtong argued, "I did not pretend to be dead! Asule, I also do not know what happened, but I truly did not pretend to be dead!"
