Chapter 350: Wolves
Regarding these, Xu Tiantian has always been stubborn and can't be Xuanye, seeing that he insisted, even if he couldn't sleep, he had to put down what he was doing and close his eyes.
The stars in the sky outside were very bright, the Big Dipper hung far in the sky, and when night fell, the whole forest was quiet.
"Whew-"
It was when everyone was asleep that suddenly there was an inopportune cry, and Xuan Ye was the first to sense the danger and quickly got up. Xu Tiantian was in a daze and was awakened by Xuanye.
"What's wrong? Isn't it still dawn? ”
"Whew-"
As soon as Xu Tiantian's voice landed, there was another shout, and Xu Tiantian immediately reacted. Just now, she thought she was dreaming.
Xuan Ye calmed her down and said in a low voice: "There are wolves!" ”
Xu Tiantian's eyelids jumped, this is spring, this wolf should not lack something to eat, and it is in the forest, how can there be a wolf pack if it is good?
"Ming Kai and Ting'an are still in another carriage, they must be frightened, I have to accompany them."
After that, Xu Tiantian struggled to get up.
Xuan Ye got out of the carriage and looked at the wolves not far away, with a faint green light in his eyes, and the accompanying guards held knives in their hands, looking at the group of livestock very vigilantly.
Even if she has seen a wolf, it is a wolf fed by the keeper that Xu Tiantian watched in the zoo, such a menacing and a pack of wolves, how has she ever seen it?
Even if she tried to calm herself, she couldn't stop shivering.
Xu Tiantian glanced at Xuan Ye and took a deep breath, "Xuan Ye, you can't use a sword to deal with wolves, you have to take a torch." ”
Fortunately, when she was bored, she read some books on survival in the wild to pass the time, they are few people, and the wolves are the most united, if they don't kill with one blow, they may be wiped out today.
Xuan Ye looked at everyone, "Ignite the fire, don't get too close to the wolves!" ”
For a while, the flames were everywhere, everyone was holding torches in their hands, the whole forest was red, the wolves were not afraid of fire, but their eyesight would only reach the best at night, now the forest was as bright as day, the wolf king took a few steps back, Xu Tiantian saw the opportunity to take the bow and arrow next to him, and shot at the wolf behind the wolf king.
Three arrows at the same time, 100 shots and 100 hits.
Xuan Ye was surprised, "When will Tiantian shoot an arrow?" ”
Xu Tiantian put down the bow and arrow, there is only this bit of life-saving kung fu, if he is not proficient in it, wouldn't he be slaughtered by others?
When the wolf king saw that his wolf people were killed, he screamed, and the whole forest trembled, and everyone retreated one after another. The smell of blood fills the air.
Seeing that the wolf king seemed to be about to attack, Xu Tiantian picked up the bow and arrow again, but did not release the arrow.
Wolves are group animals, once the wolf people choose a wolf as the leader, they will absolutely support it, if something happens to the wolf king, even if the wolf people are wiped out, they will definitely fight with them to the end.
"You understand the current situation, if we all end up with us, it will only be a lose-lose situation. We don't get cheap, and you don't get any good. If you give up, we'll both take a step back. I will never be your enemy in the future! ”
Hearing what Xu Tiantian said, everyone was dumbfounded. It's a herd of livestock in front of you, is it possible that you can still understand people? This princess won't be stupid by this pack of wolves.
It's just that to everyone's surprise, the wolf king seems to be a little hesitant. Then he stopped ten meters away from the crowd and did not continue to move on.
A guard took the torch in his hand and whispered to the guard next to him: "My grandfather said that beasts who can understand human speech know spirituality best, and the princess is negotiating with it." ”
The wolf king looked at the three corpses in the place, and then at Xu Tiantian. Wolves are the most vengeful animals, if they really remember Xu Tiantian's appearance, they are afraid that they will retaliate in the future. Xuan Ye subconsciously protected Xu Tiantian behind him.
Xu Tiantian held Xuan Ye's hand and signaled him not to be too nervous. The wolf king raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar.
"I do what I say, as long as the wolves don't take the initiative to attack, I will never be the enemy of the wolves!"
The wolf king hesitated, then turned his head, and with another scream, the wolves dispersed. The crowd breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Tiantian collapsed on Xuan Ye's body.
How cloudy and light she was just now, how scared she is now. Fortunately, the wolf king has the same human nature, and he is not in love with war. Today is just a fluke.
"Mother, mother!"
Hearing that it was safe outside, Ming Kai and Ting An ran down from the carriage and threw themselves into Xu Tiantian's arms.
Xu Tiantian squatted down to comfort them, "Good, it's okay." It's okay, no matter what happens, Father and Mother will protect you. ”
Xuan Ye carried them to the carriage, Xu Tiantian told the two of them a story, and it took a long time to finally put the two of them to sleep. It's just that Xu Tiantian can't sleep anyway.
Xuan Ye covered the quilt for Xu Tiantian and kissed her lightly on the forehead, "I'll keep vigil for you, you can sleep for a while." ”
Xu Tiantian shook her head slightly, "I can't sleep, the weather in the east is about to turn white." Let's get on the road early when it's dawn. ”
Even if there are a few days of delay on the road, it is better to stay in an inn than to sleep out in the open. These adults are still easy to deal with, but there are still two children, Ming Kai and Ting An. If they have any accidents, I'm afraid she will remember them for the rest of her life.
Xuan Ye nodded, "Okay, just according to what you said." ”
The two children slept unsteadily at night, probably having nightmares, and humming twice from time to time, so Xu Tiantian had to pat them gently.
At dawn, the group simply ate something so that they would not go hungry and hurried away again.
On the carriage, when it was almost noon, Ming Kai and Ting An finally woke up, and the two little guys thought of what happened last night.
"My brother saw those wolves last night, and their eyes are green, the same color as the lotus leaves raised in the pond of the concubine."
Xu Tiantian rubbed their noses, "You two little guys are very bold. "If you change someone else, you are afraid that you will have palpitations and leave a shadow, but the two brothers just slept for a while, and then woke up full of blood and came back to life.
Wei Miao came in from outside and took some pastries and put them on the table, "I was in a hurry in the morning, the mother and the little master didn't have time to eat a few bites, and they were about to go to the city. ”
The child was already energetic, and he was already hungry for a while, looking at the pastries that Wei Miao brought in, he glanced at Xu Tiantian, Xu Tiantian nodded slightly, "Eat." ”
With permission, the two little ones took the pastry and ate it.
Xu Tiantian took the child to tell the story in the car, laughter came from time to time in the carriage, and Xuan Ye looked at the carriage and smiled gently.
The housekeeper in the palace heard the sound of the carriage from a distance, and hurriedly beckoned all the men in the palace to come and greet him.
I had already heard the voices of people before, and the speed of the carriage suddenly slowed down, Xu Tiantian glanced at it, "Have you already entered Dongcheng?" ”
Weimiao lifted the curtain and took a look, the familiar street was still full of people, "Hui Niangniang is about to arrive at the palace." ”
The master and servant were talking when they heard the pipe: "Welcome the prince, the princess will return to the house." ”
Xuan Ye got off the horse first, and a bench was removed from the carriage in the east carriage, and Xu Tiantian took advantage of the situation.
The lady in blue clothes stirred a handkerchief in her hand and said, "The prince and my sister are already tired from the exhaustion of the journey this time, so let's recover and rest first." ”
Li Xiaohui heard that Xu Tiantian was back, and hurriedly trotted over.
"Tiantian, you conscienceless thing. It's been so many days, and I said that I would go early and return early, but haven't I forgotten it? ”
Xu Tiantian smiled softly, took her hand, and the two of them walked towards the palace together, leaving only the reluctant Xuanye and glancing at Shen Qi viciously.
Shen Qi stretched out a hand and touched the tip of his nose, feeling very aggrieved. It is a well-known thing that this princess and her own lady are good friends! Now that the prince is jealous, he should take care of the princess.
"My good sister, I dare not forget what I promised you. It's just that the capital is very prosperous, and the time to stay this time is really not long. You don't know, most of our time was wasted on the road, and we ran into wolves when we returned. If it's not for luck, I'm afraid you won't be seeing this blessing from me. ”
After listening to Xu Tiantian's words, Li Xiaohui had palpitations, "How could a good person meet a pack of wolves?" But is there any injury? With that, he grabbed Xu Tiantian's hand and turned it around twice.
"You just have to rest assured, you see that I am such a living person, where can I be so easily injured."
Several ladies on the side listened to what Xu Tiantian said, and their faces were already pale with fright, most of them were the eldest ladies who were raised in the specifications, where had they seen the general scene that Xu Tiantian said. Originally, I was still uncomfortable for Xu Tiantian and Xuanye to go to the capital together, and they were not comfortable without him, but now they are all glad one by one, fortunately, they did not go together.
Xu Tiantian seemed to remember something and patted her head, "By the way, I also brought you some good things when I went to the capital this time, you go to my room, and I will show you them one by one." ”
Several ladies looked at each other, they said that they had been in the palace for more than three years, but Xuan Ye had never touched them, so that until now, they don't even have a position. In this palace, they are just decorations, and their status is not as good as Li Xiaohui, the wife of the guard.
In the pavilion of the palace, three or two women sat on the side and gently fanned their fans.
A woman in goose yellow clothes pouted, as long as she thought of Xu Tiantian's appearance when she entered the mansion, she couldn't get angry.
"My sister saw the princess's spirited appearance, but she just went to the capital with the prince, and after she came back, she felt more and more superior."
"Sister Zhao, you can just talk to us about these words, don't be careless when you go out."
