Wen Nuan looked around the mountain. There were lush foliage all around. When they went up the mountain just now, the road was overgrown with weeds. It could be seen that not many people went up the mountain on weekdays.
There are actually pheasants and wild ducks walking around at the foot of the mountain
Are the nearby villagers so rich that they don’t need to buy pheasants and ducks to eat
She had found a lot of prey on the mountain just now.
Lin Feng broke off a roast duck leg and handed it to Nalan Jinnian: "Master, eat the roast duck."
Nalan Jinnian took it, blew on it, and then handed it to Wen Nuan's mouth: "Eat something first."
Nuan Nuan planned to ask Nalan Jinnian when he went back. After all, they were being watched now!
She reached out to take the roast duck leg, but Nalan Jinnian pulled her hand down and held it in his hand: "Don't dirty your hands. I'm going to feed you. It's very hot. Be careful when you eat it."
"You feed me, then how do you eat?"
"you eat first."
Wen Nuan didn't hesitate when he heard this. After being together for a long time, he ate at the same table every day and shared supper every night. Nuan Wen was used to being fed by him.
So Wen Nuan directly grabbed his wrist and took a bite on the duck leg: "It's delicious! You should try it too!"
The warmth pushed the roasted duck leg to his mouth.
Nalan Jinnian opened his mouth and took a bite.
Lin Feng looked at the other roast duck leg he had broken off in his hand. Should he hand it to his master, or not? !
The two of them are having fun with each other. If he interrupts, will his master silence him
But he was holding a roast duck leg in his hand and if he didn't hand it to the master, then when would he be able to eat the roast duck
Just wait here and watch the two of you share the roast duck one bite at a time
Lin Feng was depressed while holding a roast duck leg!
The roast duck legs had been cut off, and there was no place to put them, so he could only hold them. Even if you gave him ten courages, he wouldn't dare to bite them himself!
Finally, the two masters were full!
When Lin Feng was about to eat, Nalan Jinnian glanced at the overcast sky and said, "It's going to rain. Let's go quickly!"
Nalan Jinnian protected Nuan Nuan and got on the horse, then climbed onto the horse himself.
Lin Feng: "......"
He hasn't started eating yet!
Lin Feng looked at the leftover half roast duck and chicken. He picked them up and planned to eat them while riding a horse!
Seeing this, Nuan Nuan said: "Lin Feng, you can leave after eating!"
Lin Feng was grateful, wolfed down the remaining roast duck and chicken, and then hurried to catch up.

Wenwen and Nalan Jinnian rode back to the city. On the way, Wenwen expressed his doubts: "Are the villagers near Chuxiong Mountain very rich? No one even hunts pheasants and wild ducks?"
Hearing this, Nalan Jinnian's eyebrows became colder: "I suspect that the gold mines mined privately by the Guo family should be in this area. Those villagers are busy mining gold, and they probably don't want to eat a pheasant."
So yesterday, the little girl said she wanted to eat thorn bracts. There were thorn bracts in Chuxiong Mountain on the outskirts of the capital, so he took this opportunity to bring her to pick them and take a look.
Wen Nuan heard this and looked over: "How did you find out?"
The Guo family should do this kind of thing very secretly and covertly.
Gold mines, silver mines, iron mines, copper mines... and other mines are all prohibited from private mining by the imperial court. Those who seriously disobey will be punished by the Nine Tribes!
"Gold mining generally requires men in their prime. Mining accidents are bound to happen. I asked someone to check and found that among the villagers in the area, many young and strong men died suddenly. People who died suddenly died in their prime. Those cases are generally relatively rare, unless it is an accident, and they just use sudden death as an excuse."
Of course, this is not absolute, so he took the opportunity to take a look.
There are so many secret sentries watching, even if it's not a gold mine, there must be some ulterior secrets in the deep mountains. Someone needs to be sent in to take a look.
Nuan Nuan didn't expect that he would actually think of starting from here to investigate.
Because the world is so vast, technology, information technology, and transportation are backward at this time. It is really much more difficult to check something than it is in modern times.
Nuan Nuan didn't ask any more questions. It would be better for her to know less about these things.
It was getting darker and the wind was starting to rage.
"There is a ruined temple ahead. Let's go there to take shelter from the rain." Nalan Jinnian said.
"good!"
The speed of the two of them became even faster!
Two horses, one black and one red, passed by on the road as fast as meteors streaking across the sky.
As soon as the two of them arrived in front of the ruined temple, heavy raindrops began to fall, followed by a crashing sound.
The two of them rushed to the ruined temple and stood under the eaves.
"It's raining too fast! It's like splashing water!" Wen Nuan patted the clothes on his body.
"It rains like this all the time in the summer."
Wen Wen's hair was stained with water drops, and Nalan Jinnian was about to take out a handkerchief to wipe the water drops from Wen Wen's hair.
He paused as he reached into his arms.
Then he quickly pulled Wen Nuan, hugged her waist, and turned his body. A cold arrow shot from the dark place brushed the two of them, passed by, and sank into the wall of the ruined temple.
Then countless arrows were shot from all directions!
Some are shot from the temple, and some are shot from all around.
The dense arrows are simply more than the rain falling outside!
Nalan Jinnian raised his sword to block.
Nuan Nuan raised her toes, and a broken piece of wood jumped up from the ground. She stretched out her hand to grab it, and the broken piece of wood in her hand danced, knocking down sharp arrows one after another.
In the darkness, separated by a dense rain curtain, there was a man in black, petite and slim. She saw that so many sharp arrows could not hurt the two of them, and a hint of disgust flashed in her ordinary eyes: "They are all." It’s trash!”
She raised an exquisite silver bow and narrowed her eyes slightly.
An ordinary sharp arrow broke through the rain curtain and sank into the ruined temple, becoming one of the dense arrows.
After the petite man in black shot the sharp arrow, he left without looking back!
Nalan Jinnian and Wen Nuan sensed the fierce murderous intent.
Nalan Jinnian subconsciously swung his sword to block it, but as soon as it touched the arrow's body, a cold light appeared on the tip of the arrow, and it actually came off the arrow's body and shot straight towards Wen Nuan.
Nalan Jinnian's pupils shrank, his body flashed, and the arrow penetrated his shoulder. It penetrated directly through his shoulder and scratched his warm face, and then the arrow disappeared into the wall.
At this time, there was a faint sound of horse hoofbeats.
"Evacuate!" The person in the dark ordered, and countless figures quickly left from all directions.
Just then, the arrow rain stopped!
"Brother Seventeen!"
Nuan Nuan ignored the pain on his face and immediately put his hands on his back and shoulders.
Use purple energy to heal his injuries immediately!
A steady stream of blood dripped onto the ground through his warm fingertips.
Nalan Jinnian looked extremely ugly when he saw the wounds on Wen Nuan's face.
He took his warm hand and put it on her face: "It's okay."
"Master, Miss Three!" At this time, Lin Feng appeared on horseback.
He was shocked when he saw bloodstains on Nalan Jinnian's silver clothes and his warm face was covered with bloodstains!
"Master, Miss Three, are you okay?" Lin Feng looked at the dense arrows on the ground and felt frightened!
He was just a step too late to eat a chicken leg. If anything happened to the master, he would definitely be blamed for his death!
"Brother Seventeen was shot through the shoulder by an arrow."
Nuan Nuan took Nalan Jinnian's hand and entered the ruined temple: "I'll help you bandage your wound!"
Nalan Jinnian looked at Lin Feng: "You stay guard outside."
