Lian Xin never dreamed that the carriage that had been locked up for so many days would see the light of day again, and coming out would not be a death sentence.
Ji Lingxue told her about the search for the snow grass flower. In front of Yuchi Gongru, she immediately stated: "I have lived in the mountains since I was a child, and I know a lot about finding herbs. I will do my best to help you find them."
Yuchi Gongru nodded and looked at Lian Xin for a second longer. This girl was brought back by his subordinates to help him detoxify. This was the first time he saw her today. She was quite pretty. If he hadn't been too deeply poisoned, he would have been reluctant to take her blood.
Yuchi Gongru nodded, and Ji Lingxue and Lian Xin led the way, while the other guards followed behind them. Yuchi Gongru was supported as he walked up the mountain. The girl in blue was frail and she was exhausted after just a few steps. She collapsed to the ground and could not walk anymore.
Yuchi Gongru looked at her with disdain and winked at his subordinates. Ji Lingxue, who was walking in front, turned around and saw the bloody scene. The girl in blue was lying on the ground with her eyes wide open and a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. Her hand was held by a guard, and blood was flowing continuously into the water bag in his hand.
Having long been accustomed to Yuchi Gongru's perverted killing methods, Ji Lingxue turned her head and looked away, silently mourning the girl's short life in her heart.
"Ah!" Lian Xin's face turned pale. She uttered half of the word "ah" before her mouth was covered. Ji Lingxue pulled her hand away, shook her head, and signaled her not to look.
Faced with such a calm Ji Lingxue, Lian Xin calmed himself down, pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, and the two continued to move forward, but the way up the mountain was not as easy as before. Lian Xin lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes fixed on the grass by the roadside.
It snowed two days ago. The temperature in the mountains was relatively low, and the thick snow did not melt. It made a rustling sound when I stepped on it.
Behind him, Yuchi Gongru asked impatiently, "Did you find it?"
Ji Lingxue turned her head and stuck out her tongue, saying, "Don't rush me so much. It's easy to lose things when you're nervous."
Yuchi Gongru bared his teeth and said nothing more. He just used his eyes to tell the two secret guards to keep a close eye on Ji Lingxue and not let her run away. He still had some use for that woman.
Ji Lingxue and Lian Xin bent down in the bushes in front and pretended to look for snow-covered grass. Yuchi Gongru's guards were watching them from behind, so they could not communicate verbally.
The further they went up the mountain, the thicker the snow under their feet became. Perhaps because they were thinking about something, they didn't feel how cold it was. Soon they reached the top of the snowy mountain, and the howling of wolves could be heard in the cold wind.
In the blink of an eye, three gray wolves ran towards Ji Lingxue and Lian Xin. The guards took the initiative to attack the wolves without any instructions from Yuchi Gongru. Ji Lingxue and Lian Xin held hands and took advantage of the chaos to hide behind a snowy tree to watch the fight.
Yuchi Gongru's guards were quite skilled. The wolves were very aggressive. When they found they could not defeat them, they immediately roared to the sky to attract their companions. Perhaps the wolves had been hungry in the mountains for too long. Now it was snowing heavily, and the prey in the mountains had naturally hibernated. They were worried about having no food to eat, and these guards were the most delicious dinner for them.
Yuchi Gongru's face darkened. He was already in a bad mood, and these wild wolves were like sparks, igniting the anger in his heart. Leaving two guards to watch Ji Lingxue and Lian Xin, he drew the short knife at his waist and attacked the wild wolves.
Ji Lingxue narrowed her eyes and watched the battle coldly, but in her heart she prayed that the Wild Wolf King would come out. If she couldn't kill the pervert Yuchi Gongru, then at least she could bite him to death to vent her anger.
Lian Xin watched as the wild wolves increased in number. Yuchi Gongru's side had limited numbers of people, and no matter how strong their physical strength was, it would be exhausted. The wild wolves had the upper hand, and she became a little anxious. Although she hated Yuchi Gongru, if they died in battle, the wild wolves' next target would be to eat her.
Lian Xin asked: "Why are there so many wild wolves? Will they win?"
Ji Lingxue said: "It should." In the face of life and death, human potential is infinite, and Yuchi Gongru's nature is like a wolf.
"Ah!" A guard was bitten on the arm by a wild wolf. Behind him, a wild wolf with green eyes suddenly jumped up, stepped on its companion's back, opened its mouth and bit the unlucky guard's neck tightly. Blood spurted out at that moment, and the wolf smelled the fresh blood and its cold-blooded murderous intent became stronger.
Ji Lingxue and Lian Xin gasped and observed a second of silence for the guard, but they couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune in their hearts.
Yuchi Gongru, who was chopping off the wolf's head with a knife, was already bloodthirsty. Hearing the scream, he chopped off the wolf's head with a knife like cutting a melon, kicked the wolf away, and then turned around and let the knife fly out, stabbing the wolf's neck that was biting the guard's neck. The action was done in one go and was extremely accurate, which made Ji Lingxue's eyes sparkle.
Lian Xin couldn't help but blurt out, "How brutal."
Ji Lingxue smiled. She no longer wanted to comment on Yuchi Gongru's perversion.
The guard pushed the dead wolf away with force, pulled out the dagger from the wolf's neck, turned around and threw it back to Yuchi Gongru. Yuchi Gongru heard the dagger breaking through the air in the wind, raised his hand to catch it, and the next moment thrust it into the wolf's belly in front of him. The sharp sword broke open the wolf's belly with blood, leaving a long line of blood, and the intestines in the belly could be seen. The wolf raised its head in pain and let out a hoarse and miserable cry of pain.
"Awooo..." The sound of a wolf came faintly from a distance.
Ji Lingxue said: "The leader wolf has appeared."
Lian Xin thought: "Why are there so many wolves on the top of this mountain? I heard that where there are many people and wolves, there must be treasures. I wonder if this rumor is true."
Ji Lingxue said: "When all these wolves are dead, we will go to the top of the mountain and see what will happen."
She was very interested in treasures, but... with the pervert Yuchi Gongru around, it was not her turn to get them.
Ji Lingxue looked up at the gray sky, wondering what Xiao Yichen was doing.
"Ah-choo!" A man who was walking on a mountain road sneezed loudly.
Carrying a bamboo basket on his back and rubbing some white ink in the grass with a bamboo pole in his hand, he turned around and said, "My Lord, are you okay?"
The wind is strong in the mountains, so you have to wear so little to look elegant. Look, you’re sneezing.
Xiao Yichen rubbed his nose and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay. I think it must be Ji Lingxue scolding me."
So many days have passed, Ji Lingxue must be getting impatient, right
If she had fallen into the hands of the perverted murderer of the faceless female corpse, she must have been very tired after dealing with him for so many days.
Bai Mo said: "Are you sure that the faceless female corpse wearing the princess's clothes is not your princess?"
Xiao Yichen said: "Of course not." Ji Lingxue would not die.
Bai Mo stopped talking. If he talked too much, Xiao Yichen would get angry.
"Awoo..." The sad wolf cry from afar made Xiao Yichen pause. Bai Mo said, "Something seems to have happened on the hill ahead. Let's go and take a look."
Bai Mo and Xiao Yichen used Qinggong and reached the top of the snow mountain in no time. From afar, they saw wolves all over the hillside, and several men in black were fighting with the wolves.
Bai Mo said: "What a brutal way to kill wolves, who is this person?"
Xiao Yichen squinted his eyes and looked for a moment and said, "It's too far away, we can't see anyone. Let's go down and take a look."
At this time, Yuchi Gongru's men were fighting with the wolves with tired faces. There were too many wolves here. They killed one batch after another. In total, they killed more than a thousand wolves. They were so blood-thirsty that their hands and feet were numb.
The two guards who were watching Ji Lingxue and Lian Xin saw Yuchi Gongru fighting with the wolf leader and became anxious. They no longer cared about Ji Lingxue and Lian Xin who had no martial arts skills and went up to help.
Ji Lingxue and Lian Xin saw that the time was right and turned around and ran. If they ran faster, they would definitely be able to escape.
The two ran for a quarter of an hour. Lian Xin stopped panting and turned back. He did not see Yuchi Gongru and the others chasing after him. "Are we safe now?"
Ji Lingxue pursed her lips, because a snow wolf with bared teeth stepped out gracefully behind Lian Xin. Noticing something strange about Ji Lingxue, Lian Xin turned her head belatedly. The cold light of the snow wolf frightened her so much that she shivered all over and didn't even have the strength to scream.
"Wolf... Wolf... What should we do?" Lian Xin quickly retreated to Ji Lingxue's side. They were not that pervert like Yuchi Gongru. They had no helpers or weapons around them, and more importantly, they didn't even have any protective poison powder.
Ji Lingxue pulled out the hairpin on her head and used it as a weapon, staring at the wolf in front of her. The hairpin was too short to be used as a self-defense weapon, but it was also a helpless act.
"We are not going to die here, are we?" Lian Xin's crying voice was heard behind him.
Ji Lingxue pursed her lips and didn't answer her. The wolf suddenly jumped up and waved its claws to attack Ji Lingxue. Ji Lingxue looked ready to die, holding the hairpin high in both hands.
The wolf flew into the air, accompanied by Lian Xin's miserable scream, and Ji Lingxue closed her eyes.
The imagined scene of being pounced on and torn apart by the wolf did not appear. When Ji Lingxue opened her eyes, she saw the snow wolf still falling to the ground in an attacking posture, with a long branch stuck in its body, and it had died from the heart.
A hint of unwillingness could still be seen in the wolf's eyes. Ji Lingxue breathed a sigh of relief, she was safe.
Ji Lingxue turned her head to look in the direction of the tree branch, and saw Xiao Yichen standing on the tree, his cloak fluttering in the wind. Ji Lingxue's eyes filled with tears at this moment. Xiao Yichen had finally come.
Xiao Yichen landed beside Ji Lingxue, pulled her into his arms, and wrapped her trembling body with his cloak, "I am late, and the princess is frightened."
Ji Lingxue swung her pink fist and punched Xiao Yichen on the chest. The next moment, she opened her arms and embraced him, wishing she could see him alive at this moment.
Ji Lingxue said: "I came a little late, I deserve to be punished."
Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "When we get back to the palace, the princess can punish me in any way she wants."
Lian Xin: Prince...Princess...I didn't hear it wrong!
Bai Mo opened his mouth to applaud, his eyes fell on Lian Xin's face, who was open-mouthed and a little surprised. Why is there another girl? Wasn't Ji Lingxue with the murderer of the faceless female corpse
Bai Mo coughed. Can you please stop showing off your affection in front of him, a single guy
