Chapter 86: Swollen? Sprained?
The next morning.

A ray of sunlight shines into the cave.

The bonfire outside has gone out.

There was another heavy rain in the second half of the night, with thunder and lightning. The clouds cleared and the rain stopped in the early morning.

Zhang Yu opened his eyes and felt refreshed and his meridians were unobstructed.

"You're still alive, how great!"

He seemed to have a dream. In the dream, he was galloping in the wilderness, braving the wind and rain. Sometimes he was a rider, and sometimes he turned into a horse. Although he knew it was a dream, he was reluctant to wake up because he was obsessed with the exhilarating feeling.

"What a strange dream..."

He looked at the woman next to him.

Yan Sanniang had not woken up yet. She was only wearing an undershirt and huddled in a corner. Her face was full of fatigue, and it was obvious that she did not get enough rest last night.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu roughly guessed in his heart that after falling off the cliff yesterday, she woke up first, carried herself to this cave, and used some kind of magic medicine to heal her internal injuries.

Qiao Wuyong's 'Moon Sets, Crows Cry' knife strike was extremely ruthless. The knife energy entered his body, which originally injured him severely. However, he recovered completely at this moment, and was not hurt at all. Instead, his internal strength increased significantly.

With his current condition, as long as he meditates and regulates his breathing for a few more days, he will be able to break through the acupoints and successfully enter the middle stage of the Armor Breaking Realm.

"Ok?"

There is still something!

Zhang Yu suddenly found something strange about his body, he looked down and saw a high bulge under his robe, full of fighting spirit. He was stunned for a moment, but his mind did not calm down.

"It's not usually like this."

"Did you get swollen when you fell?"

Zhang Yu suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

He quickly looked at Yan Sanniang, and was relieved to see that she was still sleeping soundly.

If this were seen by others and spread to the world, it would undoubtedly lead to social ruin.

He sat cross-legged, gently turning the green jade ring, entering a wonderful state of 'embracing the Yuan and keeping the One, with a clear mind'. After a long while, the will to fight receded like the tide.

Although the swelling has gone down, I can still clearly feel that the area is much thicker than before and it is very uncomfortable.

Zhang Yu exhaled a breath, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yan Sanniang staring at him, and his heart suddenly became flustered.

"Miss Yan, are you awake?"

Yan Sanlian was silent for a moment, then asked, "How is your injury?"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "It's all right now. Miss Yan's medical skills are excellent. I feel that not only has the injury healed, but even the meridians are more unobstructed than before, and the internal strength has increased a lot. It's really magical."

Yan Sanniang stopped talking again. She looked at him dimly, with a look of sorrow hidden between her brows.

Zhang Yu felt uneasy when he saw the woman's gaze.

Could it be that she saw something strange happening there?

What a shame!

In order to hide his embarrassment, he deliberately joked, "Miss Yan, are you heartbroken that you used the sect's sacred medicine for me? Please list the names. When I return to Qingfeng Village, I will buy according to the list and return you tenfold."

Upon hearing this, Yan Sanniang stood up suddenly and said in a cold tone, "You don't have to pay it back! I just used a medicine that is only effective against those who are so heartless and ruthless!"

Zhang Yu was confused when he saw that she suddenly got angry, and he didn't know what he had said wrong.

Both of them were silent for a while, and the atmosphere became more awkward.

Yan Sanniang turned to look at him at this time, and her tone softened: "As long as your injury is healed, everything else... is not important!"

Seeing that she was no longer angry, Zhang Yu felt relieved and said with a smile, "We should leave Xuangu Mountain as soon as possible. If we don't find the Nine Dragon Jade Pendant, I guess the Father-in-law's Mansion will not give up and will most likely send experts to search for us."

This place is within the territory of Taiyuan Prefecture, where there are Jinyiwei guarding the Qianhu Mansion, as well as elite troops from the Duzhihuishisi defending the border. Compared to Pingyang Prefecture, the underworld forces in Taiyuan Prefecture are relatively low-key.

The reason why Zhang Yu came alone to rescue Yan Sanniang was that he was concerned about the power of the government.

Wan Guozhang is the emperor's father-in-law, his daughter, Concubine Wan, is the most favored concubine in the harem, and his adopted son, Wan Chonglou, is in charge of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. The power he can mobilize in Taiyuan Prefecture is too great, and Qingfeng Village will certainly not be able to compete with it.

This valley is almost isolated from the outside world, and is covered with countless layers of leaves.

Some places look flat, but when you step on them, they are deep into your knees.

The giant tree reached up to the sky. Looking up, it was at least thirty meters high. There seemed to be red fruits on it. When the two passed by, the cylindrical "red fruits" flew away and landed on another tree. "This tree is really big!"

Yan Sanniang was obviously in a low mood. She spoke very little and limped through the woods.

Zhang Yu asked, "Miss Yan, your leg injury hasn't healed yet, how about I carry you?"

Yan Sanniang shook her head and said, "You haven't recovered from your injury for long, so it's not necessary."

Zhang Yu saw that Yan Sanniang took every step with great difficulty, her brows slightly furrowed, and her expression in pain. It seemed that there was not only a wound on her left leg, but also that she had sprained something else.

"It's fine."

He walked up to the woman and carried her on his back.

After walking for a distance, Yan Sanniang naturally put her arms around his neck, lowered her head slightly, sniffed the man's scent, and a smile quietly bloomed on her face.

"Zhang Yu."

"Ah."

"Why did you come to save me?"

"The greatest heroes serve their country and their people. That's what you said, heroine."

"Apart from this, is there any other reason?"

"Other reasons? To be honest, there is one."

"What?" There was a hint of anticipation in the woman's voice.

"Pingyang Prefecture is the territory of Qingfeng Village. The Jinyiwei arrest people at will. As the village leader, I am very embarrassed. How can I set rules in the future?"

Yan Sanniang stopped talking again.

There was no road in the forest, so they could only determine the direction based on the sun. The two of them were walking roughly south, where the terrain gradually became lower.

Half an hour later, it seemed that they had reached the depths of the forest.

Giant trees can be seen everywhere, and the grass is also very lush. The light is blocked, making the place seem even more quiet and secluded.

Zhang Yu walked forward another fifty-six steps.

But in the middle of the forest, I saw a huge willow tree with a diameter of more than two meters. Its roots were twisted and the tree was lush and green. Its crown was like a canopy, covering an area of ​​30 square meters, and a layer of hazy mist was floating around it.

And the strange thing was that there was complete silence all around.

Along the way, you could hear the howling of wolves and tigers from time to time.

But there was not even a single bird singing in the woods near this willow tree.

Yan Sanniang also noticed something unusual and looked forward: "Something is wrong!"

Zhang Yu stopped.

Both of them are wanderers who have emerged from the sea of ​​blood and corpses, and they have an instinctive sense of danger.

Besides, this is too obvious!

Most likely, the masters from the Father-in-law's Mansion have arrived, and there is a good chance that they have stepped into an ambush.

Zhang Yu took out the 'Hanyuan Dagger' and touched the special leather bag containing the scorpion tail golden needles. There were only three left. His weapons and equipment were seriously insufficient. If he had known this, he would have brought a few more good swords with him when he went out.

Yan Sanniang said softly, "Please put me down."

Zhang Yu carried her on his back and slowly backed away. He looked around the jungle and laughed, "It doesn't matter. If I could escape from the Jinbei swordsman once, I can escape a second time."

This attempt was obviously in vain. There was still silence all around, as if they had just imagined everything.

Just when the two were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from behind the big willow tree, as if something was dragging on the forest floor.

Zhang Yu smiled bitterly in his heart: "Could it be that the father-in-law's mansion transported a crossbow from the city to deal with me? This is the treatment given to a great master. How can a small character like me afford it?"

Yan Sanniang's face suddenly changed when she heard the sound: "It's a beast!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow emerged from the mist and moved quickly towards the two of them.
