Chang Geng was no longer able to stand on his feet. The knife made a loud noise as it was dropped to the ground. He threw himself forward and was caught by Gu Yun.

The Yan Wang who was still ‘walking leisurely in a bloody rain’ suddenly ‘collapsed from pain’, the calm and complacent ‘King of Beasts’ became a frail sick cat, a hand weakly dropped down from Gu Yun's shoulder. He breathed a silky whisper: "Zi Xi, it hurts..."

After Chang Geng said this sentence, as if spitting out all his pain, his whole body was empty, almost fainting directly. The moment he saw Gu Yun, his rigid backbone softened and was pulled out, there was not a trace of strength left.

Nevertheless, he still could not find the heart to shut his eyes, resting on Gu Yun's shoulder and trying to recover for a moment. He seized Gu Yun's clothing, consciously or unconsciously.

Losing too much blood, Chang Geng's body felt cold all over. Only Gu Yun's temperature and the familiar bitter scent of medicine reminded him in a trance of how Gu Yu once wrapped him in his cloak in the ice and snow and took him inside when he was a child. For a moment, he lost his sense of time and murmured, "...do you have any wine?"

Xu Ling eagerly came over and tried to give them a hand: "Marshal, let me help..."

... Unfortunately, Master Liao Ran, who heard the whole scene from start to finish, held him back.

The monk who stood beyond the mortal world heard a few of Yan Wang's delirious mumbles, instantly shocked by the hidden meaning inside.

Gu Yun did not utter a word. He safely picked Chang Geng up and carried him to the carriage. He frowned deeply and ordered, "Call a military doctor!"

After that, he took out a kettle - when on a march or expedition, the kettle did not carry pure water inside, but a little bit of salt would be mixed in. This trick was first learned from the merchants traveling in the desert.

Gu Yun let Chang Geng lay on himself, telling a blatant lie, "Here comes the wine, open your mouth."

Chang Geng was only a little dazed, not completely confused. If it wasn't Gu Yun who came, he could kill another group of fierce rebels. He drank a few mouthfuls in cooperation, then chuckled and said, "You tricked me."

Gu Yun not only deceived him, but he also wanted to hang him up and give him a beating, so that he could understand the meaning of the sentence, 'a being of precious status should sit and stand properly'. But when he saw the real person in the flesh, his heart ached so much that his chest turned numb. How could he be angry?
