The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

"Hmph, this is not up to you!" The man in black snorted coldly, walked over and picked her up from Su Yu like a chicken.

The other man did not delay either, and stabbed at Su Yu with the sword again.

"Ah!" Lu Yanluo screamed in horror, and her originally sallow face turned pale in an instant.

"Swoosh!" At the critical moment, the sound of weapons breaking through the air suddenly rang out, and the next second, a handful of arrows appeared on the chest of the man holding the sword.

The arrow pierced his heart. He opened his eyes wide and spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell to the ground and died instantly.

The other men in black were horrified at this and turned their heads hurriedly, only to see a dozen men in cloaks and masks riding horses towards them not far away.

They held bows and arrows and carried swords on their shoulders. The wind blew their cloaks rustling, and their horses' hooves flew on the desert, splashing dust everywhere.

Seeing them, Su Yu's eyes lit up and hope suddenly ignited in his heart.

It’s the Iron-masked Knight under the prince’s command. We are saved!

"Not good!" The man in black's face changed drastically when he saw this scene. After a little thought, murderous intent filled his eyes and he raised his knife and slashed towards Lu Yanluo.

"Swoosh!" Another arrow shot out, piercing the black-clothed man's neck instantly, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

As the masked men approached, they jumped off their horses, used their lightness skills to gallop towards them, and started fighting without saying a word.

The men in black were still numerous and were not afraid of them. The two groups engaged in combat in a flash. For a while, the only sounds could be heard: the collision of weapons and screams and wails.

Su Yu took advantage of the chaos to stand up, killed the man in black who was holding Lu Yanluo hostage with a sword, and stretched out his long arms to pull Lu Yanluo back into his arms.

A man in black became furious upon seeing this, and stabbed at them with his sword clenched tightly and a violent look on his face.

Before Su Yu could defend himself, a masked man blocked the man's attack and started fighting with him murderously.

The men in black were not keen on fighting and were unwilling to get entangled with the masked men. While resisting their attacks, they spared no effort to hack and kill Su Yu and Lu Yanluo.

They were numerous and extremely difficult to deal with. The masked man had to protect Su Yu and Lu Yanluo while fighting them. After a long time, he became overwhelmed.

At this time, a masked man chopped off the sword that was stabbing at Lu Yanluo and said to Su Yu, "Take the princess away first, ride our horses back, and we will find you after we are done."

Su Yu didn't want to escape from the battlefield, but seeing that the person in his arms was seriously injured, he couldn't care less. He nodded and picked up Lu Yanluo by the waist.

The masked man swiftly cut a bloody path for them. Su Yu pointed his toes and used his Qinggong skills to gallop towards the horse not far away.

The man in black wanted to chase him, but was killed by the masked man and couldn't escape.

Su Yu hugged Lu Yanluo and jumped onto the horse. He squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and drove away in a cloud of dust.

The horse was running so fast that it was shaking violently, and Lu Yanluo felt a dull pain from the wound on her shoulder. It hurt so much that even though she bit her lips tightly, she still cried out.

Su Yu's heart was as sharp as a saw. He held her tightly in one hand and covered her wound that was bleeding with the other hand. He was sweating like rain from nervousness.

"Su Yu~" Lu Yanluo called out tenderly, her eyes slightly closed, her voice as weak as a kitten, as if she would faint in the next second.

Su Yu's heart was trembling violently, he felt both distressed and scared, and his expression was even uglier than the person in his arms.

"Don't talk, it's okay. I'll bandage your wound as soon as it's safe. Be good."

"Su Yu..." Lu Yanluo called him repeatedly. She had a thousand words to say to him, but she didn't know what to say first.

"I'm here, Yanluo, don't be afraid, go!" Su Yu responded with a loud shout, urging the horse under him to run faster.

After galloping in the desert for half an hour, Su Yu finally arrived at a small village based on his memory of where he came from.

Perhaps to protect against the wind and sand, the houses in the village are all built with stones. The village is not big and has only a few households.

It was evening now, and wisps of smoke were rising from the chimneys of several households. The aroma of food wafted through the air.

Su Yu jumped off the horse holding Lu Yanluo and knocked on a house's door in a hurry.

The door was soon opened and an elderly man came out with a cane to check.

Su Yu couldn't wait to say, "Uncle, my friend is injured. Can you take us in for a few days? We'll leave when her injury gets better."

The old man looked at them, then looked at the horse behind him, thought for a moment, and said bluntly: "I can take you in for a few days, and I can also provide you with medicine and bandages, but you have to give me this horse when you leave, how about that?"

In this vast and sparsely populated desert, means of transportation are undoubtedly the best treasure, and he cannot let it go.

Su Yu listened without any hesitation and nodded in agreement: "Okay! Thank you, old man."

"Well, go in, the room on the west side is empty." The old man greeted them with a happy look on his face and led them into the yard.

Su Yu rushed to the west room, put the unconscious Lu Yanluo on the bed, then quickly boiled some hot water and asked the old man for the things needed for bandaging.

Faced with the seriously injured Lu Yanluo, he did not care about the difference between men and women. He quickly removed her clothes, revealing the horrific wound on her shoulder.

The wound was three centimeters long, with the outer skin slightly turned up, revealing the bright red flesh inside. The glaring blood was still oozing out, which was extremely ferocious and shocking.

Su Yu's eyes were red, and with trembling hands he gently wiped the blood around her wound with a hot towel, tensely treating her wound.

By the time he finished treating the wound, it was already late at night. Su Yu was exhausted physically and mentally, and he checked Lu Yanluo's even breathing with a startled look, then he felt relieved, his legs softened and he sat down on the bed.

The old man who got the horse was kind enough to bring food to Su Yu. Su Yu ate a few bites quickly, then stayed by Lu Yanluo's side, waiting for her to wake up with full anticipation.

As the night grew darker, the stars all went home to rest, leaving only the moon standing guard alone.

Su Yu's eyes were bloodshot and he didn't dare close them for fear that he would miss the person on the bed waking up.

He held Lu Yanluo's soft and boneless little hand tightly, and his heart seemed to be bleeding.

In his memory, her hands were white, smooth, slender and delicate, as tender as scallions.

But now, both hands are yellow and rough, with calluses and blisters on the palms, and they are so withered that it seems as if only a piece of skin is attached to the bones.

That little face made him feel heartbroken. It had changed from being as fair and rosy as a lotus to being withered, dry, yellow, and dull.

The lips that used to be bright red without any lip balm now turned pale, flaky, and cracked...

Her figure was petite to begin with, and now she was even thinner than a bean sprout, with every part of her body revealing signs of malnutrition.

If she was a delicate, beautiful and lively flower before, now, this flower seems to have lost all its water and is facing the crisis of withering.
