Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 1071 The First Time, So Close

Yuwen Ying wanted to stand up to prove that she was not injured.

She wasn't used to showing weakness in front of Lu Yunfei.

In fact, she has never caused Lu Yunfei any trouble in the past few years.

Although she appeared in Lu Yunfei's sight every day, she would wisely leave whenever Lu Yunfei showed signs of annoyance.

It can be said that she lived a very humble life by Lu Yunfei's side, but she never felt resentful or aggrieved.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, the injury on her leg made her wince in pain, her grimaces a clear sign of agony.

“The princess has injured her leg,” Xiao Shijiu said immediately.

"I'm sorry." Yuwen Ying hadn't expected herself to be so incompetent, unable even to stand up and walk independently.

Bandits could appear at any moment, and she would be unable to protect herself, inevitably dragging everyone down with her.

Therefore, she felt extremely guilty.

"I'm sorry, I... what are you doing?"

Before she could finish speaking, Yuwen Ying opened her eyes wide and stared intently at the man who was standing close to her, so shocked that she couldn't utter a word.

The next second, even breathing became difficult.

I can't breathe!

He actually picked her up.

Even Liu Yun and Xiao Shijiu were stunned.

General He was also injured, and looking at Lu Yunfei and Yuwen Ying, he felt a complex mix of emotions.

Didn't we say that the princess suffered all kinds of grievances in the northern frontier, and that the Ninth Prince ignored her and broke her heart?

Why did the Ninth Prince personally pick up the Princess? It doesn't seem like he was indifferent to her at all!

"The rebels could come at any moment, what are you waiting for? Go up immediately and get back to Jiangbei City!" Lu Yunfei ordered.

Only then did everyone react.

General He hurriedly replied, "I know the way up."

“That’s right, it was the general who led his men down from up there just now, and they were heading in the same direction as you, Ninth Prince,” Xiao Shijiu explained.

It seems they are heading in the same direction.

Last night, Nineteen and the princess rolled down a cliff. General He and his men searched for more than two hours before finally finding them.

Fortunately, the Ninth Prince and his group arrived; otherwise, if they encountered bandits later, they wouldn't be confident of victory.

"Did you leave any marks for Fourth Princess and the others?" Lu Yunfei asked Liu Yun.

Liu Yun nodded and said, "Of course!"

"Walk."

Lu Yunfei carried Yuwen Ying and returned the way they came.

He hadn't walked far when he saw the girl in his arms with her face flushed red, as if she might suffocate at any moment.

Lu Yunfei's eyes darkened, and his brows furrowed: "Don't you want to live?"

"me……"

"Breathe!"

Yuwen Ying immediately took a deep breath.

After panting for a while, he finally regained his breathing.

call!

so close!

I almost suffocated.

But then again, they're like this now... He's holding her! He's actually holding her!

This was the first time in all the years Yuwen Ying had known Lu Yunfei that she had been so close to him.

He held her, and she could even feel his breath and heartbeat, as well as his warm body temperature, which instantly dispelled all her unease and fear.

With him around, everything is alright.

As soon as they reached the cliff, they encountered Chu Yueli's team.

“The rebels have appeared in the vicinity, but we have already repelled them. However, they may return at any time, so it is not advisable to stay here for long.”

Chu Yueli glanced at Lu Yunfei and Yuwen Ying, who was being held in his arms.

She thought for a moment and then said, "It seems the princess isn't heavy. In that case, why don't you just carry her back?"
