From the direction of Liu Nianru, you can clearly see the bandages wrapped around Duan Bailan's wrists.

"I'm fine, are you going well on this journey?" When Duan Bailan heard the voice, she immediately turned her head and saw her longing face, and her frowning eyebrows were also loosened a little because of Liu Nianru's worry.

"It's going well, except for Yaocheng, the people along the way have donated materials to us, but it's disrespectful, I have accepted them all, enough for us to hold out until this battle is over." Liu Nianru said.

"That's good." Duan Bailan touched Liu Nianru's head, and the corner of her mouth smiled gently.

"I'm sorry I came back late." Liu Nianru's nose was a little sour, and her eyes were a little moist.

"Silly girl, I'm really fine." Seeing that Liu Nianru was worried about herself, Duan Bailan was very happy, but at the same time, she was a little distressed.

During today's battle, because the formation was dispersed, Duan Bailan's side was really uncomfortable, plus the barbarian king had been chasing him, Duan Bailan couldn't tell the heart to command this battle at all, and fortunately, the military quality of the Northern Army was good, otherwise...... Today's result is really hard to say.

In the end, because Duan Bailan had been distracted to observe the battle situation, he was finally found by the barbarian king and stabbed him twice.

Although this battle was still won by the Northern Army, it was definitely a tragic victory, more than half of the Northern Army was wounded, and some people are still in a coma.

Of course, there are many more who have saved their lives forever on that battlefield.

"Ru'er," Duan Bailan was looking at Liu Nianru affectionately, but at this moment, he felt a murderous aura coming from behind Liu Nianru.

So before the words could be blurted out, his expression changed, and he turned around to protect Liu Nianru behind him.

It just so happened that a dark arrow was shot from that place.

Originally, this arrow feather was aimed at Liu Nianru's heart, but because Duan Bailan and Liu Nianru had switched places, and Duan Bailan was already much taller than Liu Nianru, this arrow was inevitably missed, and it only shot below Duan Bailan's chest.

"Duan Bailan!" When Liu Nianru reacted, it was when Duan Bailan was hit by an arrow, she watched the arrow sink into Duan Bailan's chest, blood spilled out of it, and she couldn't help shouting.

Liu Nianru was busy marching all the way, and she was worried about Duan Bailan, so she didn't have time to rest at all, so she could compress so much time to rush back tonight.

Coupled with the relaxation when she saw Duan Bailan, her reaction was much slower, otherwise, Liu Nianru would have discovered the killer early in the morning.

Duan Bailan covered the place where the arrow was hit, and bent down, although he was not shot to the point, but after all, he was shot by the arrow, how could it not hurt.

Liu Nianru raised her head, and she didn't know when and where more than a dozen people in black came out, staring at the two people coldly with a pair of eyes, as if she was looking at two dying people.

Liu Nianru narrowed her eyes, the anger in her heart rose, and the dagger in her hand flashed cold, like the cold eyes of a poisonous snake, staring at these black-clothed people.

The men in black are here to assassinate two people, and that will be given to them

With so much time to react, when Liu Nianru pulled out his dagger to examine, the dozen or so black-clothed people had already arrived.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and maybe it won't be a problem to deal with these dozen people with the skills of the two before.

But now......

One was wounded, the other exhausted from the journey.

There is no way for such two people to play at their usual best.

Liu Nianru usually has a very good head, basically a dagger can be reaped with a single life, but today, although the dagger is still scratched on the body of the man in black, it only brings out a shallow blood mark, which is not fatal at all.

On the other hand, the men in black, they are energetic, and now they are completely at their peak, even if they were much worse than the two before, but now, they can even be better.

I don't know why, it's obviously on the territory of the Northern Army, but these two people have no intention of calling someone to help, or rather...... Don't want to?

The men in black glanced at each other, their task was to kill Duan Bailan, but judging from the current situation, only Liu Nianru's life was in danger, Duan Bailan would definitely come forward to save them, and now that they had also lost a few brothers, there was not much time for them to waste.

After confirming the action, the remaining few men in black gave up attacking Duan Bailan together, and all of them attacked Liu Nianru.

Liu Nianru just sneered, and responded without a little fear.

But her movements did not keep up with her brain after all, and one step was half a beat slower than herself, and a faint blood mark was scratched by a dagger.

Liu Nianru did not hesitate to stab the dagger into the heart of a man in black and then pull it out, a strong wind blew behind him, Liu Nianru was short, and a few strands of green silk were cut off.

When Liu Nianru was about to get up, she felt that she was thrown down by a warm embrace.

It was Duan Bailan, his hand was still around Liu Nianru's head to prevent Liu Nianru from being injured, but there was another blood mark on Duan Bailan's back.

Duan Bailan got up, frowned, but did not cry out in pain, just stabilized his body, and stabbed at a man in black with his sword.

Liu Nianru didn't have time to think about anything else, so she continued to fight with a dagger.

When all the people in black fell to the ground unwillingly, the two looked at each other and smiled, the dagger and the long sword were still dripping with blood, and the clothes on their bodies had already been soaked in blood, and even their faces didn't know whose blood was splashed, but no one cared.

Just as Liu Nianru was about to speak, Duan Bailan suddenly shook and was about to fall backwards.

Liu Nianru hurriedly helped Duan Bailan and put her on the bed.

Liu Nianru stretched out her hand to test Duan Bailan's snort, maybe she didn't even notice it, the finger she went out trembled so much.

Call.

It's okay, and breathing.

Liu Nianru hurriedly ran out and went to the old military doctor's room to pull people over.

"Medic, let's see how he's doing." Liu Nianru ran all the way over and pulled the military doctor over, not caring at all whether the old body of the military doctor could withstand it.

The old medic gasped and patted his chest

He gave himself a good breath, and the mess in this room was seen by him, and the dozen or so corpses that fell to the ground also explained what had just happened.

The old military doctor also seized the time and reached out to probe Duan Bailan's wrist.

As time passed, the old medric's brow became deeper and deeper.

Liu Nianru watched anxiously from the sidelines, but she didn't dare to disturb her, for fear of affecting the old military doctor to diagnose Duan Bailan's pulse.

After a long time, the old military doctor's hand finally left Duan Bailan's wrist.
