Chapter 10: The Wolf Comes

"Someone, someone!"

Ji Huan woke up in his dream and immediately shouted.

Hearing the empress's shout, the palace ladies hurriedly walked in.

"Have you ever seen anyone coming?"

Listening to the empress's question, the palace maids couldn't help but shake their heads blankly, although it was late at night, the palace maids in charge of the guard were not allowed to sleep, and there were guards standing guard outside, and no one could sneak in silently.

Ji Huan knew that it was impossible for the palace maids to lie, so he drank the hot water handed over by the palace maids, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then waved his hand to let everyone withdraw.

After taking a long breath, Ji Huan lay back on the bed and looked at the gauze tent at the top of the bed.

She just had a dream, in the dream, the angry high priest questioned her about the fire in Chaotian Palace, no matter how she begged for an explanation, but she could not get the high priest's forgiveness, and finally the high priest asked for heavenly punishment, and the Great Moon Kingdom became a sea of fire...

This dream was not finished, and then another dream followed, the bold little eunuch suddenly became a lover when she was the prince, but unfortunately the royal family had a rule, and after giving birth to the prince, the lover was secretly executed.

More than ten years have passed, and the appearance of the lover has been a little blurred, but today's embrace by the little eunuch evokes the deepest memory in my heart.

If there is no such thing, if...

Thinking of this, Ji Huan couldn't help but sigh slightly, there is everything in this world, but there is no if.

Tong Xi's rescue of the little wolf, Ji Feiya has reported it to her, and she also sent someone to call the eunuch in charge of the miscellaneous room, and asked Tong Xi in detail about his past, but he didn't ask anything.

If there was no Chaotian Palace, he should be rewarded heavily for saving the orcs alone, but it's a pity...

Ji Huan didn't believe that Tong Xi set the fire because of his loyalty, and her intuition told her that there must be a lot of secrets hidden in this little eunuch, but how to make that little slippery head tell the truth?

"Whew..."

In the silent night sky, there was a sudden terrible wolf howl, and then, countless wolf howls echoed each other and sounded from all directions, as if the entire capital was surrounded by wolves.

Ji Huan was not sleepy, but when he heard the wolf howling, he was so frightened that he sat up again.

"Someone! Order the three armed forces to be on alert"

The wolf is the pet of the orc race, and where the human race lives, it is rare for this animal to appear, let alone the heavily guarded imperial capital.

Ji Huan knew very well, he was afraid that the orcs would find him, in fact, the fact that the little orcs appeared in the army of Jinshui Kingdom was already weird, and Ji Huan even had a feeling that this was probably a trap deliberately set by Jinshui Kingdom.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I put on a piece of clothing and rushed to the place where the little orc was being held under the protection of the guards.

Because of the poisoning, Tong Xi and the little orc were transferred to a new place to be imprisoned.

Of course, Ji Huan was not the only one who heard the wolf's howl, and at this time, the entire palace was already in a high degree of tension, because no one knew if the wolf had sneaked into the city and would suddenly jump out to attack them?

The little orc who was locked in the cell screamed and jumped with joy when he heard the wolf howl, and it was obvious that he knew that his own people had come to save him.

Tong Xi was startled, because he had seen the portrait of a wolf in the picture scroll of Chaotian Palace, on this continent, the size of the wolf is comparable to a war horse, if these beasts appear in a place where people live, the consequences are unimaginable.

I didn't have time to think about it, leaned down and held the little orc's arm, and said with a serious face: "Little brother, whether you can understand my words or not, I hope you can restrain the wolves, once there is a situation that hurts people, it will inevitably make the orc race and our human race re-enter a state of war, and at that time, not only my human race, but also the orc race will never be at peace."

I don't know if the little orc understood Tong Xi's words, he blinked his eyes cutely, then patted his chest, and patted Tong Xi's shoulder, as if to say, with me, the wolf won't hurt you...

Tong Xi smiled bitterly in his heart, hundreds of thousands of years, why hasn't he evolved a common language?

The cell door rang softly, and then someone opened it from the outside, and then I saw Ji Huan, who had a solemn face and was draped all over, strode in.

He looked at Tong Xi with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, and said, "As long as you avoid this big war between the two clans, I will remember you a great achievement."

Obviously, she heard all the words that Tong Xi said to the little orc just now.

Tong Xi shook his head and said, "Forget the great work, let's talk about the current pass first!"

Tong Xi had no experience of dealing with wild beasts in his previous or present lives, and when he thought of those wild wolves the size of war horses and orcs with horns and fangs, he beat a drum in his heart.

Although he saved the little orcs, who knows if those orcs and beasts are also grateful?

At this time, the lights of the whole city have been lit, and when the lights are bright, there is surprisingly no sound, and the air is filled with a depressing atmosphere, which makes people feel out of breath.

Tong Xi knew that this was just the calm before the storm, people had been peaceful for too long, and when the crisis came, the confusion and silence at the beginning were followed by a crazy outburst.

Let's hope this crisis can be resolved once and for all!

Tong Xi's eyes kept looking around, but he didn't find the little orc out of the prison, and when he looked at the heavily armed soldiers, his eyes were completely no longer as cute as before, but instead they were cold...

Ji Feixue had already arrived at the head of the city in full gear, and when she saw her mother accompanying Tong Xi and the little orc, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here, with your sons, it's going to be fine, go back quickly!"

Ji Huan shook his head, turned to Tong Xi and said, "It's too late to see the situation outside, so I can only use the basket to go you down, don't let me down."

Tong Xi touched his nose and said, "Don't you just go down by yourself, you have to kill me to be willing!"

Ji Huan frowned, and immediately wanted to get angry, but in the end he held back.

"Little bastard, I'm getting bolder, and I'm going to let you run rampant, waiting for you to come back..."

"Your Majesty, let the retainers go down together..."

Before Ji Feixue's words fell, she was glared back fiercely by Ji Huan, and then turned her head to Tong Xi and said, "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't go, I will cut off your head now."

Tong Xi shrank his head, and wanted to say something, but he felt that the little orc was holding his hand and suddenly tightened.

"Huh?"

He turned his head to look at the little orc, but saw that he didn't look at himself at all, and his eyes were always looking at the vast field outside the city.

Without waiting for Tong Xi to think about it, Ji Huan had already ordered someone to push him and the little orc into the huge basket.

Just as the basket was hoisted and ready to go down, Ji Feixue suddenly stepped forward quickly.

patted Tong Xi on the back lightly, and said, "Remember, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, protect yourself"

Others didn't know that Ji Feixue had quietly inserted a dagger into Tong Xi's back belt with a shot just now.

Tong Xi was slightly stunned, he never thought that there were still people in the royal family who really cared about him, looking at Ji Feixue's delicate face with a hint of heroism in the firelight, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart...
