In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

"what!"

He tried his best, but due to his injuries, he couldn't lift the unconscious Guo Chao.

"Someone come quick!" he roared.

The speed at which kerosene burns is beyond imagination, especially in the tents of nomadic peoples; it ignites almost instantly, at the speed of light.

"Cough cough cough!"

Li Yuanchang coughed violently, each muscle strain causing excruciating pain.

Unable to lift him, he tore off the bed sheet and pulled Guo Chao off the bed. Then, he hoisted Guo Chao onto his shoulder and dragged him out with faltering steps.

Fortunately, his shout scared away the arsonists, and there was no oil on the left side of the tent, which gave him a chance to survive.

Stab it!

Li Yuanchang tore open the tent and, gritting his teeth, dragged the man out.

At this moment, the fire also awakened the night watchmen of the Qimeng tribe, who shouted for help to put out the fire.

A large number of people arrived at the scene one after another to put out the fire.

Having escaped death, Li Yuanchang could no longer hold back and collapsed to the ground!

He was severely injured, with countless broken bones. When he forced himself to save the person, all his wounds that had just begun to heal burst open, oozing a large amount of blood.

The people who arrived surrounded the two of them, but they couldn't understand each other's language, and Li Yuanchang didn't know what they were saying.

It wasn't until Qi Senluge rushed into the crowd that her face paled with panic: "Li Zheng, how are you?"

Li Yuanchang frowned and clutched his stomach: "It's nothing."

"Someone just started a fire!"

"Arson?" Qi Senluge was shocked.

"..."

The fire was quickly extinguished in no time.

Li Yuanchang was taken to his tent by Qi Senluge, who re-bandaged his wounds, and then he fell into a deep sleep again.

When I woke up again, it was already dawn the next day.

He groggily opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a freckled oval face, extremely elegant, with reddish-brown eyes like jewels.

Qi Senluge smiled and said, "You're finally awake!"

Li Yuanchang gasped, "How long have I been asleep?"

Where are my companions?

"Don't move, don't worry, he's fine too, he's right there." Qi Senlu pointed to a curtain, where Guo Chao was.

"This is my camp. No one dares to cause trouble here. Don't worry."

"Brother Ada has already investigated what happened last night, and it's true that someone set the fire."

As he spoke, a tall figure appeared.

Li Yuanchang squinted, his eyes meeting Ada's, the atmosphere subtle.

He has no grudges or enemies here. The only person who is hostile to him is this person. Who else could it be but him?

"Lu Ge, could you get me some food?"

"Okay, wait a minute." Lu Ge immediately jogged away.

Inside the tent, only the two of them remained, gazing at each other.

"It's you, isn't it?" Li Yuanchang slowly sat up, his strong willpower allowing him to maintain a sense of pressure even in such a weak state.

Ada did not deny it, and said quietly, "That was just a warning to you. Killing you would be as easy as turning my hand."

"From now on, stay away from Luger, or I really will kill you!"

He issued death threats.

Li Yuanchang remained calm. To be frank, this Ada was utterly insignificant to him.

He's like a tiger fallen into the plains, now bullied by dogs.

Secondly, he didn't have any particular feelings for Lu Geben.

"Luger is my benefactor, nothing more."

"But if you deliberately cause trouble, you will pay a heavy price."

"I'll spare you this time last night because of the Meng tribe's life-saving grace. If you dare to attack again, you can try." His calm gaze turned sharp as he spoke, revealing a terrifying killing intent as he threatened back.

That kind of killing intent is honed amidst piles of dead bodies on the battlefield.

Ada sensed a deadly threat, and his eyes darkened.

"Spare me?"

"You mean, you're sparing me?" Ada sneered, reaching for the curved knife at his waist.

Li Yuanchang sensed something was wrong. He slowly gripped the scissors by the bedside, which were used to cut bandages. If Ada dared to make a move, he would kill him immediately.

The suffocating atmosphere was spreading, and it looked like things were about to get out of control.

Suddenly, Qi Senluge walked in.

Her face looked rather pale.

"Lu Ge."

Ada smiled.

"I heard everything!"

"I knew it! Why would someone set a fire like this?" Qi Senluge said angrily, looking at Ada with a feeling that seemed to say, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

Ada's expression changed slightly, and he was about to explain.

"From today onwards, you are not allowed to come near here, and you are not allowed to come near my guests!" Qi Senluge said coldly.

Ada's face looked grim.

"Lu Ge, I'm doing this for your own good!"

"This person's origins are unknown; he doesn't look like anyone..."

"Get out!!" Lu Ge roared angrily, his face flushed red.

Ada's face turned pale and then red, and he finally turned and left. But the moment he left the tent, he turned back and looked at Li Yuanchang with a fierce look.

Li Yuanchang frowned.

He really didn't want to cause any more trouble and just wanted to leave as soon as possible, but this guy was too narrow-minded and he definitely wouldn't let it go.

"Li Zheng, I'm sorry," Qi Senluge said, feeling extremely guilty.

Li Yuanchang quietly put down the scissors in his hand and smiled: "That's none of your business."

"I am an outsider, so it is only natural that your tribe is wary of me."

"I will not doubt the Mongolian tribe because of what happened last night."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ge's eyes showed considerable gratitude: "Thank you."

Li Yuanchang was smiling and about to say something when a violent coughing sound came from behind the curtain.

The two turned their heads at the same time and smiled.

"woke up?"

Li Yuanchang was overjoyed and immediately got up.

"Don't……"

Lugel couldn't hold on and was forced to help him up.

Li Yuanchang came to the bedside, and Guo Chao had already opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Li Yuanchang pressed down on his shoulder: "It's alright, we didn't die, we were rescued."

As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes that there were ears on the other side of the wall.

Having just woken up, Guo Chao, whose mind was still foggy, hesitated for several breaths before realizing what was happening, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings.

"here it is?"

"This is the Qimeng tribe. This is the daughter of the tribal chief, Qisenluge. She saved us," Li Yuanchang introduced.

Qi Senluge smiled and said, "You're awake too, that's great."

"Thank you." Guo Chao said weakly, as if he had a lot to say.

Qi Senluge noticed this and took the initiative to say, "Li Zheng, and this brother, you two chat first, I'll go prepare some food for you."

Thank you.

Qi Senluge left.

"Li Zheng??" Guo Chao asked in confusion.

Li Yuanchang explained to him what had happened after he woke up, as well as their location.

Guo Chao's weak face changed as he listened; he couldn't believe he had survived such a situation.

Finally, he frowned.

"Your Highness, it's not safe here. Shall we retreat first?"

Li Yuanchang smiled wryly: "How can we leave in this state?"
