C153 (2/2)

The man leaning against the haystack regained consciousness and opened his eyes to see a woman fighting with her tired eyes but still holding on.

Seeing that he had woken up, Su Zhi's tired face revealed a relieved smile, ”You're awake. Are you feeling better?”

She moved her numb legs closer and extended her hand to caress the man's forehead, calming her heart down. ”The fever has subsided. Everything is fine now.”

Lu Huan held onto her waist with only a slight force. Su Zhi felt that she could not break free.

”Sleep in my arms for a while. Be good, be good.”

”Stop messing around. Let's hurry on our way.”

She wanted to get up, but Lu Huan Zhi refused to let go of her. She continued to hug her, ”If you don't listen, I'll kiss you.”

After successfully suppressing Su Zhi with a single sentence, she glared with her angry almond-shaped eyes and said while gritting her teeth, ”Are you being reasonable or not? I-I've been guarding you for the whole night!”

”Yeah, I was rude and unreasonable to begin with, it's not like this is your first time seeing one.”

Su Zhi was so angry that she wanted to bite him, so she hit the man's chest with her fist, ”I'll beat you to death, you bastard!”

The man who had been saving up his strength all night had already recovered. No matter what she did, it was like she was tickling him. It didn't work at all.

”Two hours. Rest for two hours first before we leave. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk too far.”

His attitude was not the least bit playful, his clear peach blossom eyes were pure and clean.

Su Zhi gave up resisting and unconsciously softened her body.

She was indeed too tired. Hunger and thirst were bad for movement, and if an assassin found her, she wouldn't even have the energy to run.

”Fine, you are not allowed to do anything wrong. Wake me up in two hours.”

Compared to an assassin, Su Zhizhan truly felt that this man was more dangerous.

Lu Huan Zhi revealed a gentle smile. ”Go to sleep. I'll protect you.”

Su Zhi struggled out of his embrace and frowned half a meter away from him. ”Seriously, you're not allowed to do anything rash.”

The man laughed softly. His low and deep voice was like a feather, causing one's heart to feel numb and itchy.

”Do you want me to mess around? He kept on emphasizing it. ”

”Pfft, don't talk nonsense.”

She ignored the grinning man and turned her back to him, closing her eyes.

Lu Huan stared at the woman's skinny back with a complicated expression.

After staring for a long time, he finally got up to make sure she was asleep. He reached out his hand to caress her hair, then gently caressed it.

He came out of the cave, pushing aside the branches that blocked his path, and saw that the sky outside was dyed with the color of the morning sun, which had not been seen for a long time under the colorful clouds.

A gust of wind came from his side, following which a guard appeared in the open space in front of the cave entrance.

That person knelt on one knee, his attitude respectful, ”Your Highness, are you alright?”

Lu Huan Zhi nodded slightly. ”No problem.”

”According to your orders, I have completed everything. But those guards are very skilled, I'm afraid they will catch up very soon.”

”I understand. You did well this time. You're much smarter than that idiot Lu Si.”

Lu San, on the other hand, did not feel like he was being complimented. What had he done that night?

Not only did he have to rescue the two people being hunted down, he also had to divert the attention of the four dark guards who were following Su Zhi, which made him extremely tired.

”The cold poison in your highness' body flared up again last night?”

Lu Huan's face was expressionless as he snorted, ”It's not a big deal.”

Fortunately, the woman thought it was ordinary typhoid and did not arouse any suspicion.

”Your Highness, why do you have to suffer?”

Last night, when Lu Huan Zhi followed the guards out of the cave, he had already found out the whereabouts of the hidden guards, but he refused to let them out.

”Why are you blabbering so much, do what you should do.”

”Yes, your subordinate spoke too much.”

Lu Huan ordered the guards to retreat while listening in every direction. His sharp eyes caught sight of the people in the forest and he sneered.

They came pretty quickly, and the guards under Xiao Qian's command were pretty good.

He dusted off the wrinkles on his clothes and returned to his usual unruly self. He turned around and walked into the cave.
