Chapter 004: Snow Mountain Hunting (2)
"But I don't want to go!" Jian Ningyan protested.
"Do you have a way to go back now?" Xiahou Yan chuckled in the back and said.
Jian Ning was speechless for a moment, and could only sulk. I also secretly made up my mind that when Zijin arrived, I must let her teach me to ride a horse.
Xiahou Yan rode very fast, and kept going deeper, without the slightest intention of slowing down.
Sometimes there is prey not far away, but Xiahou Yan doesn't even look at it.
Jian Ning became more and more worried in her heart, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking for?" Is it dangerous to go too far? ”
"Since you're here, you naturally want the best." Xiahou Yan said.
"Snow fox?" Jian Ning glanced back at Xiahou Yan in surprise, shook her head slightly, and said, "Everyone in Lingsui said that the snow fox has been extinct for many years, and we can't be so lucky to meet it." Besides, this kind of spiritual thing must live in the depths of the snow-capped mountains. ”
"That's why we're going to look for it now." Xiahou Yan said seriously, "How do you know if you can't find it if you don't try?" ”
Seeing this, Jian Ning looked at the thicker and thicker layer of snow, and said sternly: "No! We can't go any further. We don't know enough about the snowy mountains, and if we encounter any unexpected situation, it will be very tricky. There's no way we're putting ourselves in danger for a spirit fox! ”
"Huh-" Xiahou Yan finally tightened the reins of his horse and stopped.
Jian Ning's heart had never been put in her stomach, but for some reason she suddenly tightened, and a trace of an extremely bad pre-cold came to her heart.
Jian Ning also obviously felt that Xiahou Yan behind him suddenly tensed his body, and his whole body was on guard.
"Murderous! From now on, I can't leave my sight for a moment. I do whatever I tell you to do, remember? Xiahou Yan looked stern and said in a deep voice.
Jian Ning nodded immediately.
There was no time to prepare too much, but the danger was already looming.
Not far away, a few people were galloping towards them, and it seemed that something was chasing them behind them.
When she got a little closer, Jian Ning had already identified the person in the front by guò's clothes. But before she could see what was behind her, Xiahou Yan was already frowning, and said in a low voice: "It's not good, it's a wolf pack!" ”
"Feng Yang. Evacuate! Xiahou Yan immediately ordered.
There must be a lot of them. Otherwise, people with white belts in the flower moon should not have fled so desperately.
But Xiahou Yan was strange and suspicious in his heart. Although there are wolves in the snow-capped mountains, they generally live in the mountains, and even if there are occasionally one or two wolves at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. Nor is it possible to have large packs of wolves.
It seems that there must be a ghost behind this!
Hua Yuebai quickly saw Xiahou Yan in front. After catching up. looked at Jian Ning in front of Xiahou Yan and said, "If you run any further, you will have to run up the mountain, and the snow layer will be very thick at that time." There will also be ice below, and you won't be able to ride a horse at all, so now you have to find a way to get rid of the wolves behind you. Otherwise, none of us will be able to escape! ”
"Do you still need to say this!" Xiahou Yan glanced at it coldly and said, "Isn't the second prince just going to compare the results of the battle?" These wolves should be right for you! Now that people have bothered to deliver it to you, you can't let people down! ”
Hua Yuebai naturally understood the meaning of Xiahou Yan's words, a trace of coldness and killing intent flashed in his eyes, and said, "This is nature!" ”
"Ling Ya, take some people to scatter and run for a while."
"Feng Yang, prepare bows and arrows, and scatter people in front."
Hua Yuebai and Xiahou Yan commanded the people beside them almost at the same time. With this tacit understanding, Jian Ning wondered if they were brothers.
"Everyone obeys the order and disperses immediately!" Hua Yuebai's personal guard, Ling Ya, immediately shouted loudly to the people behind him.
"But whoever can hunt the snow wolf, whether it is life or death, this hall has a lot of rewards!" Hua Yuebai condensed his internal strength and spread this word all over a radius of ten miles. It's like deliberately telling someone hiding somewhere!
After scattering around, Xiahou Yan and Hua Yuebai actually chose the same direction again.
When she ran out for about two or three miles, Jian Ning finally noticed that something was wrong, and said worriedly: "These wolves seem to recognize people, why are they all scattered, and most of the wolves are still following us?" ”
Xiahou Yan and Hua Yuebai were already aware of it, but now when they heard Jian Ning say this, their hearts couldn't help but become heavy.
"I can't run anymore, the horse's hooves are already slippery." Xiahou Yan looked at a big tree covered with snow not far away, and said, "Let's go to the tree in front of us to take refuge, and by the way, find a way to deal with these wolves." ”
Hua Yuebai nodded in agreement. Immediately said to a few guards behind him: "Bring arrows and weapons, abandon the horse immediately, and find a suitable place to hide and ambush, understand?" ”
"Yes!" Immediately the crowd did so, and scattered to the side.
Xiahou Yan hugged Jian Ning, borrowed strength on horseback, and jumped up the tree. Hua Yuebai then also jumped into the side of Xiahou Yan and them. Fortunately, the tree was sturdy enough to withstand the weight of the three of them.
After Hua Yuebai got up the tree, he slowly squatted down and looked at the wolves that had caught up.
Unsurprisingly, when they chased them under the trees, they stopped one by one. It seemed to know exactly from the beginning that they were in the trees, rather than chasing their horses.
"Looks like the problem is really on you." Xiahou Yan held Jian Ning with one hand to prevent her from falling, grabbed the branch next to her with the other, and looked down at the situation below, and said.
At this moment, Jian Ning sniffed her nose, approached Hua Yuebai little by little, and sniffed hard.
"What's wrong? Ning'er. Xiahou Yan looked at Jian Ning's somewhat strange behavior and asked.
"Do you usually wear incense powder or sachets?" Jian Ning suddenly raised her head and asked Hua Yuebaidao.
"This palace is a prince, how can he use that kind of woman's things." Hua Yuebai said in a rather angry tone.
"Oh, that's right. There is a faint smell on your body that ordinary people can't smell. Those wolves probably followed the smell. Jian Ning said seriously.
"And how do you smell it?" When Hua Yuebai heard this, she raised her sleeve and sniffed it, but she didn't smell anything, and looked at Jian Ning with some suspicion and asked.
"I'm a cook" Jian Ning originally wanted to proudly say that she was a cook, and her sense of smell was naturally different from ordinary people, but when she thought that her current identity was Princess Binglan, not Jian Ning, she immediately stopped and changed her words, "I was born with a keen sense of smell, which is not comparable to ordinary people." ”
Hua Yuebai looked at Xiahou Yan.
Xiahou Yan said very simply: "What else are you looking at, hurry up and take it off!" I believe in Ning'er. (To be continued......)
