Chapter Ninety-Seven: Encountering Wolves

Outside Jimo City, the willows are still around, the sky is blue, and the geese return to the north.

Ruyi stood on the car and looked at the convoy, but he couldn't see the end at a glance. It's not really that you can't see the end at a glance, it's just that you have to look far away. Originally, his own team was already mighty, and now he added Park Ji-sun's team. I didn't expect his convoy to be longer than himself.

Ruyi sat back in the car, Xia He asked in a low voice, "Miss, look at this pomp, is this Pu Gongzi really a businessman?" ”

"I'd love to know, too." Ruyi said a little speechlessly. Although she had already guessed that he was a nobleman before. But he was still somewhat underestimated. Ruyi remembers that the Korean Peninsula at this time, the northern half of the country near Liaodong and Liaodong still belonged to the Yan Kingdom, and the southern end was Samhan. But the specific actual control, Ruyi does not understand. Since Ruyi came to this world, he has only been active in Wei and Qi, and he will really want to go around when he has the opportunity in the future.

Ruyi was thinking wildly, Nie Zheng jumped into the carriage lightly, and sat down opposite Xia He unceremoniously, with a proud expression.

Xia He couldn't help but argue with Nie Zheng again, "Oh, you're finally alive again?" ”

Ruyi lowered her head and secretly pursed her lips and smiled. Nie Zheng looked at Xia He and asked seriously, "How do you say this?" ”

"You've been lifeless before, I thought you were terminally ill." Xia He said with a smile and deliberately provoked Nie Zhengdi.

Who knew that Nie Zheng just snorted coldly and didn't bother to pay attention to Xia He, so he directly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Most of the roads along the way are official, calm and calm, and occasionally a big bird flies over and cries.

It was almost noon, and there were no people in sight, so Ruyi looked at the skylight, so why not have a meal, and brought enough dry food anyway. This is a plain, and there is a forest in front of it. Ruyi sent a few warriors to explore the mountains and forests first, and the others rested on the spot to eat some dry food.

Although Ruyi also likes food, she is not so particular about eating. Ruyi just leaned on the carriage and ate a few bites of water casually. When I looked back, I saw that Park Ji-sun's attendant first laid out a woolen felt blanket, and then set up a table, set up a table, set up a few dishes, and even the water was warm. I don't know how to keep the temperature in the absence of a thermos cup.

Xia He couldn't help but smack his tongue when he saw it, "It's really extravagant and exquisite." ”

Nie Zheng retorted leisurely from the side, "That's because your young lady is too unsophisticated, okay?" Who doesn't pay attention to some identities. ”

The food was ready, and then I saw the attendant helping Pu Gongzi get down from the carriage. Park Ji-shun saw Ruyi and they were all looking at him, and greeted with a smile, "Do you want to eat some together?" ”

Ruyi shook his head with a smile and said, "No, we've eaten." Hurry up, you'll have to rush to the lodging in the evening. After speaking, Ruyi took the lead in boarding the carriage, Xia He patted the crumbs on his hands and also got into the carriage.

Nie Zheng stared at Park Zhishun for a long time, which made Park Zhishun a little unable to eat. After eating, Pu Gongzi personally brought a plate of apricot blossom cake and gave it to Ruyi.

"You taste this is more sweet and refreshing, you can still be hungry, there may be some way to stay at night, put it in the car, and pad your stomach when you are hungry." Pu Gongzi looked at Ruyi softly and said.

I don't know why Nie Zheng is a little unaccustomed to Park Zhishun's appearance, and even more unaccustomed to his gaze, Nie Zheng, who was originally standing by the carriage with a sword in his hand, suddenly said, "I'm sorry to let me go." Then he got into the carriage.

Pu Gongzi didn't care, looking at Ruyi's carriage, although it was spacious, it was narrower after all for three people, "Why don't you take my carriage, my carriage is more spacious, and you can take a nap for a while." ”

Ruyi was a little surprised, she was not very familiar with this Pu Gongzi, and invited her to take a rest in his carriage, isn't this a bit abrupt? Ruyi smiled and refused. Park Gongzi didn't say anything more and went back to his carriage.

Nie Zheng looked at Park Zhishun who was walking away, and snorted coldly while holding his sword.

"You don't want to see you, huh? Xia He looked at Nie Zheng and asked. As soon as Nie Zheng heard Xia He ask, the young man's awkwardness came up again, and he denied it, "I didn't." Then he added, "I just don't want to lose time." ”

The convoy was back on the road, and the warrior replied that the forest ahead was deep and dense, and there were cliffs beside it, but the distance was not long. Ruyi instructed the convoy to walk through this section at full speed and arrive at the night's accommodation point.

Entering the dense forest, there are large trees that shade the sky and the sun, although the branches and leaves of the spring have not yet grown all over the trunks, and some sunlight can still sparsely let in, but the woods are so quiet that I don't even hear the birds chirping all the time. The ground was thick with fallen leaves, and it was quiet only to hear the sound of rolling leaves and the rustle of horses walking by.

Nie Zheng immediately became vigilant and said in a low voice, "No, the atmosphere is not right." ”

Ruyi also felt that the silence here was a little unusual, so he touched the short sword on his waist and held his breath to concentrate. I was thinking about how to inform the whole team.

Suddenly, the horses neighed uneasily.

Ruyi couldn't care so much, so he had to pick up the curtain and shout, "Everyone be careful." When it was too late, Ruyi happened to see a few green eyes not far from the road, "It's a wolf." Several wolves leaped and took off to pounce on the convoy, and then several, a dozen wolves, wolves, were wolves, and the convoy was scattered in all directions.

Ruyi almost fell out of the car unsteadily, Nie Zheng's eyes were quick, he grabbed Ruyi, hugged her and stumbled in the carriage, only to hear Xia He exclaim in the car. The guards fought with the wolves, and some quickly lit torches to drive the wolves away.

"Nie Zheng, leave me alone, go find the head wolf, and kill the head wolf." Ruyi said calmly.

Nie Zheng gritted his teeth, "You guys stay in the car." Then he got out of the carriage.

"Be careful." Ruyi advised.

There was an uproar outside, with wolf howls and human wails one after another. The horses were still neighing, and Ruyi suddenly remembered that wolves were most afraid of loud noises, so everyone shouting together might scare them off. Ruyi leaned out of the car and called for everyone to shout together, and the wolves, who had been scattered because of the torches, picked up their tails when they heard the shouting.

At this time, Nie Zheng walked back from the jungle covered in blood, and he also carried a male wolf with golden fur in his hand, which was cut open from his chest to his stomach, and blood kept flowing out of the wound. Nie Zheng single-handedly smashed the corpse of the head wolf to the ground. The other wolves wailed and scattered.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Park Ji-sun's convoy behind suffered the least loss, but it was also the most frightened, they had never seen this battle, and some of them sat directly on the ground. Ruyi asked everyone to hurry up and treat the wounded, but fortunately, they were only slightly injured and did not let the wolf bite directly.

Ruyi checked for Nie Zheng and saw that except for two scratches, there were no other injuries, just a little out of strength. Ruyi helped him into the carriage. Then he turned to the group and shouted, "This place is not suitable for a long time, get out of here quickly." ”

Ruyi repeatedly thought in the carriage that it stands to reason that wolves should only appear at night, and rarely attack humans during the day, unless they are stimulated by something.

Nie Zheng seemed to see Ruyi's doubts, and said slowly, "I smelled a smell in the jungle just now. ”

"What does it smell like?"

"A mixed smell of blood. It seems to be the smell of blood mixed with a special smell. Nie Zheng closed his eyes, thought about it and said.

Ruyi's face sank, if someone lured the wolves to attack, then this person must be familiar with the terrain, familiar with the surrounding environment, and grasp their time and route, then this person is probably among them, and the few people who went to explore the road were the most suspicious. But what is their purpose? If the blow fails, will there be a backhand.

The convoy quickly drove out of the dense forest, and after a short walk, it saw a large area of farmland, and the green wheat seedlings swayed in the wind.

Ruyi whispered his thoughts to Nie Zheng Xia He, and Xia He muttered a little resentfully, "These things are eaten inside and out." ”

Nie Zheng pondered and analyzed seriously, "There are a total of five people who went to explore the way, Lao Yue, Ma Jin, Xiao Baozi, Liang An and one named Qin Yue, I think the most unlikely is Lao Yue and Ma Jin, the previous ambush in Huayu Village is enough to show their loyalty, and the remaining three, Xiao Baozi should not be small." Then the other two should be the most suspicious. ”

Ruyi nodded and said, "That makes sense, but it's too early to draw conclusions." ”

Ruyi opened the curtain and looked out, the sky was getting dark, and there seemed to be curling smoke rising in front of him. "Miss, shall we rest in this village for the night?" Xia He looked at the village in front of him and said.

Ruyi thought about it, shook his head and said, "Don't rest here, march at full speed, and rush to the predetermined place to repair at night." ”

At the same time, Ruyi also ordered the convoy to go down. "Take a detour to the village in front of you, travel at full speed, and get to the predetermined location as soon as possible." The convoy was instructed to speed up.

Xia He said puzzled, "Why doesn't Miss rest here?" ”

"I'm afraid that the enemy in this dark place will have a backup move if he misses a blow, and under normal circumstances, when we encounter wolves, we will definitely be in a mess, and when we see a village, we will definitely want to rest, so they may leave their back hands in this village." Ruyi said quietly and calmly.

So we did the opposite, and we had to go where we were supposed to be. What if they also thought of this possibility and waited for us at the predetermined place? Nie Zheng also thought of another possibility and said.

"There is also this possibility, so we will not rush to the predetermined place, if I remember correctly, we will pass a small town in front of the predetermined place, which is relatively small, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to resupply and choose the next big city. We rested there, but we couldn't take it lightly, it was easy for them to catch up. ”

After Ruyi finished speaking calmly, he saw that the scratched wound on Nie Zheng's arm was still a little oozing blood, and said, "Let's help you bandage it." ”
