"Are you alright?"
Lu Lingqi's voice was filled with concern. Her tone was not as swift and decisive as before. Instead, it was extremely gentle. It was at this moment that Lu Lingqi finally had the "feeling" that a girl should have.
It was no wonder that Lu Lingqi was so worried about Mu Lin. After all, Mu Lin had become like this because he had blocked that fatal arrow for her. If Mu Lin hadn't suddenly rushed out to block that arrow for her, Lu Lingqi really didn't know what the consequences would have been.
Even if that arrow could not kill Lü Lingqi, it was still unavoidable that she would be severely injured. As the highest commander of Xiapi City, it was imaginable that once Lü Lingqi was seriously injured, the fall of Xiapi City would only be a matter of time.
Without Lu Lingqi's leadership, how could Xiapi City stop Cao Cao's army?
Currently, Xiapi City only had a total of ten thousand soldiers, while Cao Cao's siege army had a conservative estimate of forty to fifty thousand soldiers, several times more than Lu Bu's army.
Lu Bu's army in Xiapi City was already at an absolute disadvantage when facing Cao Cao's army. If Lu Lingqi was seriously injured, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lü Lingqi was the spiritual pillar of support for all the generals and soldiers in Xiapi City. When the enemy's forces were far greater than their own, they were still fighting because they believed in Lü Lingqi. They believed that their General Lü Lingqi would definitely lead them to defend Xiapi City.
If anything were to happen to Lu Lingqi, Lu Bu's army in Xiapi City would not be able to withstand the oncoming Cao Cao's army.
It was precisely because of this that Mu Lin had helped Lu Lingqi block that fatal arrow, which meant a lot more to him. This was not as simple as saving Lu Lingqi. To put it in a bigger way, he had saved all of Lu Bu's troops in Xiapi City.
If Xiapi City was really defended by Lu Lingqi, Mu Lin would definitely have contributed a lot to it.
"G-ggh…"
Just as she was about to speak, she spat out a mouthful of blood, dyeing Lu Lingqi's delicate arm red.
"I'm…I'm sorry…"
Using all his strength, Mu Lin finally finished his sentence.
With an apologetic look in his eyes, Mu Lin seemed to be blaming himself for dirtying Lu Lingqi's arms.
This was not a deliberate act by Mu Lin to win Lu Lingqi's pity. In fact, Mu Lin's current situation was indeed terrible. Just as he was about to speak, a sharp pain came from his wound, causing him to almost faint.
"Don't speak yet. The wound will split open!”
Frowning, Lu Lingqi quickly sealed Mu Lin's mouth to prevent him from speaking again. At this moment, Mu Lin's face was extremely pale. It was obvious that he had lost too much blood. Hugging Mu Lin, Lu Lingqi could clearly see that with every word Mu Lin said, the wound on his chest would widen. Lu Lingqi was afraid that if Mu Lin said a few more words, he might lose his life, so she quickly stopped him.
As for the blood that stained her arms and clothes, Lu Lingqi didn't care at all.
Lu Lingqi wasn't some pampered young lady. She was a general, and the blood on her body was uncountable. The number of souls that had died at her hands was even more shocking. Why would she blame Mu Lin for spitting blood on her?
Moreover, Mu Lin had saved her just now, so he could be considered Lu Lingqi's benefactor. How could Lu Lingqi blame her benefactor for such a small matter?
Lu Lingqi frowned because she was worried about Mu Lin's injuries.
"This arrow must be pulled out immediately. It might hurt a lot during the process.”
He looked at the shocking red arrow in Mu Lin's chest. A third of it had already pierced through his chest. It was just a little more and it would have pierced through him.
"Yes!"
Mu Lin nodded and gritted his teeth.
"Tsk!"
Seeing Mu Lin nod, Lu Lingqi no longer hesitated. She grabbed the scarlet arrow and pulled it out, causing blood to spurt out.
"Rip ~"
Without any hesitation, Lu Lingqi tore off another large piece of fabric from her skirt to temporarily stop Mu Lin's bleeding wound. She silently bandaged it up. Although she didn't say anything, Mu Lin could feel Lu Lingqi's concern for him.
"Hold on, don't speak. I'll take you back to the doctor."
Lu Lingqi forced a smile on her face and hugged Mu Lin tightly. Her Red Hare neighed and turned around, charging toward Xiapi City.
Although Lu Lingqi's arms were slender and fair, the strength contained within them was not small at all. It was not difficult for her to hug Mu Lin.
Mu Lin also noticed a detail.
In order to prevent her body from shaking violently, Lu Lingqi moved closer to Mu Lin to prevent the red rabbit from shaking violently as it ran. This would worsen Mu Lin's wound. This detail was barely noticeable, but Mu Lin still noticed it.
This action warmed Mu Lin's heart.
This Lu Lingqi, it wasn't in vain that he risked his life to block this arrow for her!
"That kid is really lucky. I want General Lu Lingqi's embrace too!”
After Lu Lingqi brought Mu Lin back to Xiapi City, Lu Bujun watched the two men and the horse leave with envy in his eyes.
"That's right. That kid is too lucky! Why can't I do this? If I can let General Lu Lingqi hug me once, I'm willing to live a few years less!”
"Stop fantasizing. If you want General Lu Lingqi to hug you, why didn't you help the general block that arrow?”
"I didn't react in time. If I had reacted, I would have charged forward without hesitation! Even if it meant death! I'm willing too!"
The soldier who spoke blushed.
Indeed, if they had reacted in time, most of the soldiers would have rushed forward to block the arrow for Lu Lingqi. The problem was…none of them had reacted in time. Didn't they see that even Lu Lingqi, who was the most powerful among them, hadn't reacted in time?
As for how that lucky kid reacted, who knew!
"Alright, stop nagging. Even if you guys reacted, can you block that arrow?”
A soldier who looked like an officer said.
“……”
The officer's words rendered the soldiers speechless.
Indeed, even if they tried to block that overbearing arrow, they would not be able to do so. The arrow would probably pierce through their bodies, and their attempts to block it would not affect the arrow at all. In fact, they were also puzzled. With Mu Lin's thin and small body, how did he block that scarlet arrow?
The arrow that was supposed to be able to penetrate his body was actually blocked by him?
Although the soldiers were still talking about how they were jealous of Mu Lin, they did not hate him. On the contrary, they were very grateful to him.
If it weren't for Mu Lin, then their spiritual pillar, their goddess General Lu Lingqi, would have probably perished under that arrow.
If something happened to General Lu Lingqi, Xiapi City would be finished…As soldiers of Lu Bu's army, if Xiapi City was finished, their fate could be imagined.
