Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 170 Warmth and Tenderness

She needed to check if he had any internal injuries so she could prescribe medicine.

"It's nothing," Mu Yun Chu said. He saw Gu Qing Yue rushing to bandage his wounds as soon as she arrived, and her expression growing increasingly grim. He knew then that the little girl was angry.

He hurriedly grabbed the girl's hand, stopping her from taking her pulse, because he knew that doing so would only make her angrier.

He suffered considerable internal injuries. Just now, in order to save a soldier next to him, he was slapped hard by the leader of the Tiger Warrior Battalion, right in the right chest. He felt that his ribs might be broken, but he still had to hold on and not fall down.

This battle was the most gratifying small-scale battle in the past few months. They eliminated at least forty Tiger Guard assassins, killed three experts, and seriously injured one leader.

Of course, their own losses were also very heavy.

Of the original three hundred men, less than two hundred remain. Those who died were mostly elite soldiers who had been selected.

But this is a price that must be paid. How could the people known as the Tiger Legion assassination squad be easy to kill?

Although Mu Yun Chu herself was also seriously injured, she still survived, which can be considered a satisfactory outcome.

"You?" Gu Qingyue guessed that he must have been seriously injured, but she was a little anxious because Mu Yun Chu was holding her hand tightly.

"Look at Mu Nan, he's badly injured." Mu Yun Chu quickly changed the subject.

Seeing his stubbornness, Gu Qingyue didn't insist. When she heard that Mu Nan was injured, she was also startled.

"Where is it?" Gu Qingyue picked up the medicine box.

“Over there,” Mu Yun Chu pointed to the grass not far from her.

Mu Nan lay there motionless, his clothes on his right shoulder and chest soaked with blood, clinging to his body in a dark red and gruesome sight.

Mu Nan's wound was bandaged by a soldier who had some medical knowledge, because the mission was top secret and no military doctor was brought along.

Gu Qingyue was shocked when she touched it!

Mu Nan has lost too much blood and his body temperature has dropped to hypothermia. His pulse is almost undetectable. If he is not treated soon, he will die within fifteen minutes.

Gu Qingyue looked up at Mu Yun Chu: "Find him a place where he can stay out of the wind. I need to give him acupuncture. He's in danger."

Mu Yun Chu was so shocked by Gu Qing Yue's words that she almost lost her balance.

He had just seen Mu Nan a quarter of an hour ago. He watched as Mu Nan applied medicine to his wounds, and it was the same wound medicine that Gu Qingyue had given him before. It was very effective. How could this be?

After Gu Qingyue finished speaking, she walked around the area and found a small cave. "Go over there. There's a small cave behind the bushes that can hold two or three people. I'll have someone carry him over there." She hurriedly beckoned to the two soldiers behind her and gently lifted Mu Nan up and placed him in the small cave on the edge of the cliff.

The cave was indeed very small; so small that if Mu Nan were placed inside and Gu Qingyue squatted beside him, only half of their bodies would be inside the cave and the other half outside.

But it's alright, it's enough.

Gu Qingyue signaled to the others to keep their distance and not disturb her.

As everyone else walked away, Mu Yun Chu stood about ten steps away. She turned around, deftly took out a small cloth bag from the medicine box, and pulled out a large luminous pearl.

The light inside the cave immediately came on.

Gu Qingyue sterilized the silver needles one by one, and inserted the first needle into Mu Nan's chest.

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Qingyue quietly placed her right hand near his chest and channeled healing energy into his body.

This is the only way to help him recover as quickly as possible; his condition is extremely dangerous.

Seeing the purple aura beneath her hand deepen in color, Gu Qingyue couldn't help but smile. This meant that her healing aura had advanced again, and her healing power would become even stronger.

Once Mu Nan's condition had stabilized, Gu Qingyue, pale-faced, emerged from the small cave carrying her medicine box.

"How is he?" Mu Yun Chu asked immediately upon seeing Gu Qing Yue's figure.

"She's stable now, she'll be fine after some rest," Gu Qingyue replied.

"You've worked hard, come and rest for a while." Seeing the girl's pale face, Mu Yun Chu felt a pang of heartache and self-reproach.

"Okay," Gu Qingyue looked around, "Are there many other people seriously injured?"

Gu Qingyue does need to rest for a while. Unless there is a particularly urgent need for surgery, she is currently lacking in energy and will not be able to hold on.

She used too much healing energy and needs to calm her dizziness.

"The others weren't seriously injured, and they've all been treated temporarily. You can rest for a bit before you go back to check," Mu Yun Chu said quickly when she saw her craning her neck to look around.

What he didn't say was that those who were seriously injured had all died, and he frowned deeply when he thought of this.

"Okay," Gu Qingyue said, seeing that the situation around her was indeed alright, and sat down.

Mu Yun Chu bent down and sat down next to her. Seeing the fatigue on her face, she couldn't help but ask, "Have you not been resting well these past few days?"

"A little," mainly because I've been traveling a lot lately, and I didn't get any rest at all the night I went to Black Wind Village. I even got into a few fights and rode back and forth on horseback, so I really didn't have much time to rest.

Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but place her hand on her slender, soft hand and squeeze it. "Don't overwork yourself. Rest when you need to. That way, I can rest assured."

"Don't worry?" Gu Qingyue's heart skipped a beat.

She was still trying to pull her hand out of that large palm when she heard Mu Yun Chu's words, and for a moment, her feelings were very complicated.

This boy clearly likes her but doesn't say it directly. People in ancient times were reserved; if he just said it directly, she wouldn't be shy.

However, now is not the time to talk about these things. They are about to face the provocation of the powerful army of Nanzhao Kingdom, and there are still tough battles to fight. It is unknown when all this will end.

"Okay, I'll try my best," Gu Qingyue thought through the current situation and didn't want the other person to worry about her.

As soon as she spoke, she saw a hint of warmth and tenderness appear in the man's previously cold and indifferent eyes, and his large hand tightly grasped the struggling little hand.

Gu Qingyue was at a loss, unsure whether to scold or laugh. Wasn't this guy afraid of being seen by others?

"General Mu!" Suddenly, a shout came from afar.

Gu Qingyue jolted and immediately tried to pull her hand away.

"Hiss-------", Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but let out a suppressed gasp.

"Are you injured?" Gu Qingyue asked hurriedly upon hearing the voice. This was clearly his right hand; wasn't his left arm injured?

Gu Qingyue immediately placed her hand on his pulse.

This guy!

With such severe internal injuries, how could he chat with himself for half a day as if nothing was wrong?

She raised her hand and pressed on his chest, "Hiss-------", Mu Yun Chu let out another painful groan.

Is a rib broken?

Can you tolerate this?

Gu Qingyue gently touched it again and again. Fortunately, it was not dislocated. It would be fine to fix it, but the internal organs were seriously injured and she needed to rest in bed as soon as possible.

"Gu Yun," Gu Qingyue turned to look for Gu Yun, only to see the soldier who had just called out to Mu Yun Chu standing next to the two of them, and she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.

Did I just raise my voice too loudly and startle the general? Or did the general's injury suddenly worsen?

"It's alright, go ahead," Mu Yun Chu looked up and saw him, nodding to let him speak.

"Oh, General, our squad leader sent me back to report that the three escaped assassins have all headed towards Meng County."

He paused, then continued, "Our squad leader and the others are still tracking them."
