Chapter Seventy-Three: Two Birds with One Stone
"But the prince, Weichen ......" Seeing that Wei Wujin rejected him, Su Huaiqing was a little disappointed, and he wanted to say something, but in the end, he stopped talking and lowered his head slightly.
Seeing that he didn't say any more, Wei Wujin led the team and continued to walk forward.
"Uncle, you just listen to the prince's arrangement. It won't be long before there will be news from Jiang Guo's side, after all, you are the most trusted person of the prince! Su Mao didn't rush to follow, but stopped and comforted Su Huaiqing a few words.
Su Huaiqing nodded dissatisfiedly: "Now that the holy maiden has appeared, you should know what this means to us!" β
"Uncle, don't worry, the fate of our Su family is now in the hands of the two of us, and I naturally know how." After Su Mao finished speaking, he listened to Su Huaiqing's instructions and then set off to catch up with the team.
It didn't take long for the heavy rain to finally fall, and everyone continued to walk forward.
"Lord Wang, seeing that the rain won't stop for a while, let's find a place to hide for a while! The subordinates are all men, but the princess is a woman, so it won't be good if she catches a cold! Su Mao finally couldn't help but open his mouth and said with a serious face.
When Wei Wujin heard this, he glanced at Li Xianxian, who was already asleep with a cloak in his arms, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "It's okay, keep walking." This is still a border gate, and it can't be discovered by others! β
"......" Su Mao was helpless, and he didn't dare to continue, so he had to give up.
Su Qing stood in the dark, looking at the team that was getting farther and farther away in the distance, Wei Wujin did not take Li Xianxian back to Xiao Country at this time, but ran towards Jiang Country, what did he do?
Su Qing naturally wanted to keep up, but he was helpless that he would definitely be discovered by them alone, but after imagining it, he felt that it was nothing, anyway, they would definitely come back. Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he laughed.
Wei Wujin's departure is a good opportunity for Su Qing.
Five days later, Jiang Guo and Fengling border, at the foot of Wanshan Mountain.
More than a dozen people stood side by side, looking up at the top of the tallest mountain in the distance, and the grass and trees under their feet were more than a meter high, making it impossible to see what was in the grass at all. Wei Wujin couldn't help but frown as he looked at the hillside in front of him that he had to walk into.
"Lord Wang, no one has set foot here in these mountains for many years, and his subordinates have not even been able to find a path to enter, which is overgrown with grass and trees, and now it seems that it is impossible to drive a horse forward, so he can only walk!" After a while, the person who went in to explore the path came back and said helplessly.
Wei Wujin's eyes sank: "There is no reason to go back after you have already arrived here, just be careful after going in for a while." He still didn't have much confidence in his heart, maybe there was no saint tribe in this ten thousand mountains!
Seeing the entanglement in Wei Wujin's eyes, Li Xianxian pursed his lips, then raised his arms and summoned a butterfly. In less than a moment, butterflies gathered from all around, and after wrapping the team, Li Xianxian hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at the butterflies in front of him. I saw that the butterfly seemed to understand what Li Xianxian meant, reversed the direction of flying, and entered the jungle.
With butterflies leading the way, everyone began to move forward boldly.
"Where will butterflies lead us?" Wei Wujin subconsciously took Li Xianxian's hand and asked softly.
"Naturally, it's the tribe of saints mentioned in the rumors!" The corners of Li Xianxian's mouth hooked slightly, and he chuckled.
Su Mao walked behind the two people, and the voice of the two people was not small, he happened to hear it clearly, and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that there is really a tribe hidden in these ten thousand mountains?" He asked, surveying his surroundings, after all, it didn't look like a place where people were there.
"If it could be easily found, wouldn't anyone be here?" Wei Wujin turned his head and replied with a slightly indifferent gaze.
"It's the subordinates who are ignorant."
"Li Xianxian, how are your feet? If it hurts, the king will carry you! Only when facing Li Xianxian would his voice be so soft.
When Li Xianxian heard this, he glanced at Wei Wujin in surprise, and saw that his worries were true, so he was sure that he had heard correctly. Lowered his head shyly: "It's already much better, it's okay." "My husband is really getting more and more gentle with himself now, it's so good!
"If it hurts, don't bear it!" After a word of instruction, the group continued on their way.
In the jungle, the howls of various beasts were constantly heard, and although butterflies led the way, everyone could not help but be vigilant.
After all, I don't know what will be hidden in the fog of the jungle, Li Xianxian's steps are very fast, and everyone can't help but speed up a little: "Now it seems that this holy woman's tribe should not be close, the lifespan of butterflies is very short, let's hurry up!" β
Li Xianxian reminded.
"At least it's the right thing to do!" Wei Wujin spoke, raising his eyes to look at the sun that was about to disappear: "For now, let's find a place to rest first, Wanshan is dangerous, and get angry with the bonfire earlier, so as not to have wild beasts at night." β
Hearing this, I saw that Li Xianxian was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he knew that his husband was also worried about his safety: "Okay then." Instead of letting the butterfly continue to fly aimlessly, it is better to let it stop, thinking that Li Xianxian raised an arm, touched the breeze, and let the fragrance of his body attract the butterfly flying away.
The butterfly soon received the signal from Li Xianxian and gently landed on the wildflower in the distance to stop.
Just like that, everyone began to raise the fire, and just in case, Wei Wujin did not ask his subordinates to set up tents, but simply spread straw mats and blankets on the damp ground.
"I've wronged you tonight, the tent is not suitable for use in such deep mountains." Wei Wujin said, glancing sideways at Li Xianxian who was sitting beside him, only to see her eyes staring closely at the two pheasants on the bonfire that had begun to emit fragrance.
Seeing this, Wei Wujin couldn't help but sneer: "Little gluttonous cat." β
Li Xianxian heard Wei Wujin's voice, and when he slowly retracted his gaze, he didn't forget to swallow his saliva, "Husband, there are so many people here, these two pheasants shouldn't be enough for us to eat, right?" β
"Don't worry, you'll be fed!" After Wei Wujin finished speaking, he looked up at his subordinates in the distance and ordered them to catch two more, worried that his princess would have a big appetite for a while, and in the end, no one would be able to eat enough.
The two men looked at each other and walked into the jungle.
"Lord Wang, the mountains are unfathomable, let's set off early tomorrow morning." Su Mao seemed to be kindly reminding, but in Wei Wujin's opinion, it didn't seem to be that simple.
Wei Wujin glanced at him meaningfully, his eyes full of impatience. For some reason, he always felt that Su Mao was in a hurry to find the tribe of the Holy Maiden in comparison, why?
I don't know, but it's certainly not well-intentioned.
"This is the king's business, you just need to follow behind honestly!" After Wei Wujin finished speaking, he glanced at him coldly, as if warning him.
In the blink of an eye, the two chickens that had been roasted were now left with bones.
But the two people who went to catch the chicken didn't come back for a long time, "Lord Wang, Zhao Yu and Zi haven't come back yet, shouldn't something have happened?" The patrolman walked around and around, his eyes became more and more uneasy, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, strode in front of Wei Wujin, and spoke.
Hearing this, Wei Wujin and Li Xianxian raised their heads suddenly, and then hurriedly got up: "Then why don't you go and find it?" Do you remember what direction they went when they left? β
"Remember!"
"Let's go!" There are barren mountains and mountains here, but if you encounter a wild beast, how can you not even make a sound? Wei Wujin became more and more worried in his heart, and after leaving a message for Li Xianxian to stay here honestly, he strode in the direction of his fingers.
Seeing this, Su Mao also got up, and suddenly thought of what steps he had raised, so he couldn't help but pause. Looking back at Li Xianxian, who was honestly sitting back on the straw mat: "The princess is really calm." β
"My husband told me to wait here." Li Xianxian said with a well-behaved face.
"Doesn't the princess think it's strange, why is the prince so eager to know if you are the princess?" Su Mao has known Li Xianxian for a long time, but he is still so humble and polite when he speaks, but he seems a little rusty.
Li Xianxian didn't hesitate, and spoke directly, "Husband is naturally worried about me, after all, not everyone in this world is a saint!" After speaking, Li Xianxian raised his eyes and glanced at Su Mao coldly, his eyes were gloomy and a little scary.
And behind her, it was pitch black. It was like the feeling of having a pair of murderous eyes staring at you in the dark. Su Mao subconsciously took a step back, with a little horror in his eyes.
Why, Li Xianxian in front of him is so scary and unfamiliar?
It's as if you've seen a dark demon in an instant.
At this moment, I saw that Li Xianxian's hair gradually turned bright red like blood, little by little, until the ends of the hair......
"Princess, your ......" Su Mao spoke, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
Hearing this, Li Xianxian slowly lowered his head, and looked at his hair that had changed color at some point in surprise: "Ahhh
After hearing the voice, Wei Wujin turned his head sharply, and the others did the same. With a bad curse in his heart, he ran to the place where the bonfire was burning. As the distance got closer and closer, he saw Su Mao, who had fallen to the ground, and the mat that Li Xianxian was still sitting on when he left, but now it was empty.
"Envy Immortal...... Li Xianxianβ" Wei Wujin looked at the empty surroundings and shouted loudly.
He was in a hurry, looking for Li Xianxian's traces around in a panic, and after a while, he didn't even find the footprints of Li Xianxian's departure, if he was captured by others, how could he not even leave footprints!
