Chapter 118: The Pursuit is Coming
"This Weichen is not very clear, and he has never had the opportunity to take Nanmingshan before." Bai Wutong's face showed a little regret, but more determined, as if he had made up his mind to go again.
Even the white sycamore didn't know, that mountain was really full of mysterious and terrifying atmosphere.
As if sensing the uneasiness in Gu Wanwan's eyes, Bai Wutong chuckled: "Could it be that the princess is afraid that the things in the mountains will run out?" ”
"It's hard to say! Although the terrain of Nanming Mountain is very high, things like tigers cannot jump down the mountain at all, but it is difficult to guarantee that other things cannot. Gu Wanwan did not deny the worries in her heart.
"Oh? So what does the princess think could be in the mountains? Bai Wutong asked with interest.
"It's even harder to say, like you're talking about a worldly master? The personality must be extremely eccentric, otherwise how could he act so sneaky? There are other things we haven't seen before, and it's even harder to imagine! ”
Gu Wanwan's words did not reveal her gratitude to the life-saving benefactor, but more of a question about that person. She always felt that the person was acting in a very problematic way, so she had to question the character of the other person.
"Princess, do you have too much heart?" Bai Wutong smiled lightly, wanting to comfort Gu Wanwan, but his words aroused Gu Wanwan's suspicions.
"Am I really too careful? Then you explain to me, if the good guy who killed the tigers, then why didn't he kill all the tigers in one go? Instead, wait until the tigers are ready to attack me and I can't defend myself? Gu Wanwan asked Bai Wutong rhetorically about what happened to her in Nanming Mountain.
Bai Wutong was stunned, and seemed to feel that there was something faintly wrong with this matter, but he couldn't explain it.
Gu Wanwan followed up and asked another question in her heart: "Nanming Mountain is isolated from the outside world, and there are not many mortals who can go up at all. It was winter again, everything withered, and the three tigers had no prey and no food, how did they grow so fat? ”
"These ...... Weichen really can't explain it. Bai Wutong's face was embarrassed, he hadn't really understood Nanming Mountain, and he really couldn't make a proper explanation for this.
"Okay, then let me ask you a question that you can explain!" Sensing that she was a little embarrassed for Bai Wutong, Gu Wanwan finally put away her expression and changed the topic.
"Princess, please speak." Bai Wutong raised his hand to signal.
"You must have known that there were beasts on the mountain, right? It also allowed everyone to take precautions, so everyone can come back safely when they go to pick spirit grass. She didn't believe that she was so unlucky that she had encountered something that no one else could touch.
Moreover, before she went up the mountain, Zhang Han had already said that there were beasts when he stopped her, so Gu Wanwan guessed that they must have fought with the beasts. In this way, she couldn't help but wonder, how did they get out of danger safely when they encountered the beasts?
"It's Wechen who teaches the art of beast control and their ...... Princess, haven't you started learning beast mastery yet? "He's asking too much!
If the princess had seen the beast mastery part, how could she ask such a question?
"I ...... Because I was busy a few days ago, I was a little slow to learn. Gu Wanwan's cheeks were red and she smiled awkwardly, "I'll watch it right now!" ”
As she spoke, she had already begun to look around for the cheats that Bai Wutong had given her.
Hey? Why can't I find it? Gu Wanwan rummaged through the bed and didn't find a book.
"Maybe it's been put away by vanilla." Bai Wutong reminded behind him.
Gu Wanwan stopped rummaging at this time, her face was embarrassed, she didn't even know where Vanilla put the book.
"I'll see again tomorrow!" Bai Wutong was still understanding, seeing her like this, she quickly found the steps for her to go down, "It's late now, it's time to sleep." ”
"yes!" Gu Wanwan hurriedly echoed with a smile.
After sending Bai Wutong away, she still fell asleep after a long time, and the person who saved her inexplicably still made her feel uneasy.
But it really seems that she thinks too much, and since then, her life has been business as usual, and nothing strange has happened. Over time, she forgot about it.
lived in the camp for another month, and during this month, Bai Wutong was particularly concerned about Gu Wanwan's cultivation of spells. I was always on the side to guide and watch, and whenever something was wrong, I immediately raised it and asked her to correct it.
Bai Wutong is so meticulous, how dare Gu Wanwan be lazy? She used to be too lazy, but now that she knows that she has the burden of reviving the Xiliang Women's Kingdom on her shoulders and everyone's expectations, she decides that she will no longer be lazy and will seriously study foreign arts.
A month passed neither fast nor slow, Gu Wanwan learned the basic essentials of beast control, and originally wanted to go to Nanming Mountain to try it again, but she was always stopped by Bai Wutong, and she had to give up that idea.
At this time, the birds fly and the snake hides, and it is impossible to find an animal to try its skills. The spirit bird was her only test subject, but it was not surprising that an inherently psychic bird like the spirit bird could drive it to do things.
On this day, the sun is rare and bright, after the snow on Nanming Mountain melts, the wind blows mixed with a trace of warmth, and spring has arrived.
Bai Wutong walked over from the camp tent, but he didn't let Gu Wanwan perform spiritual skills, but looked thoughtful.
Gu Wanwan asked again and again before he spoke: "Weichen has something to say to the princess." ”
Looking at his expression, what he said should be something very important, Gu Wanwan nodded and said, "Let's go back and talk." ”
"Princess, Weichen thinks it's time now!" Back in the camp tent, Bai Wutong hesitated for a moment before he spoke slowly.
"You mean to get out of here? Looking for the Four Jewels? Gu Wanwan saw the light in Bai Wutong's eyes, and guessed that his so-called time had come.
Bai Wutong nodded heavily: "Now that the cold winter has passed and the ice and snow have melted, it is a good time for us to go to the East China Sea to find the mermaid's tears." ”
"Why did you go looking for the mermaid tears in the first place?" Gu Wanwan was a little puzzled. In addition to the blood amber on her body, as well as the unicorn fruit and the Tianshan Ice Silkworm, what are Bai Wutong's plans for the remaining two treasures?
"Because Weichen only knows that the merman's tears are in the East China Sea, and the rest of the two treasures, the unicorn fruit, should be in the hands of Princess Yunluo, but there are too many people who want to fight for the unicorn fruit, we might as well let it go first. As for the Tianshan Ice Silkworm, Wei Chen has already ordered someone to investigate secretly. Bai Wutong sighed lightly.
Gu Wanwan agreed with his statement, it is better not to grab the unicorn fruit for the time being, but the Tianshan Ice Silkworm ......
"Don't even you know where the Tianshan Ice Silkworm is?" Gu Wanwan was very surprised by this matter.
Bai Wutong shook his head: "It should have been secretly hidden, and even the king of the Northern Frontier Country is ordering people to look around." ”
"Could that be what they're trying to do?" Gu Wanwan's eyes flickered, and he said suspiciously.
Northern Xinjiang is such a big country, how can it not even find its own treasure after being lost for several years? Could this have been deliberately done for people to see? As long as everyone else believes that the Tianshan Ice Silkworm is lost, no one will do anything to steal again.
In this way, wouldn't it be better to keep the treasure safe?
"It's possible!" Bai Wutong's brows moved, and his gaze fell softly on Gu Wanwan, "It's still the princess who sees deeply, and Weichen will send someone to pay more attention to this matter." ”
Receiving Bai Wutong's praise, Gu Wanwan smiled with bent eyebrows.
"Who? Don't leave! ”
At this time, a scolding voice suddenly sounded outside the door, interrupting the conversation between the two.
It was Zhang Han's voice, Gu Wanwan and Bai Wutong glanced at each other, and then quickly walked out of the tent.
"Zhang Han!" Bai Wutong found Zhang Han's figure that had already run away, walked quickly, frowned and asked, "What happened?" ”
"Someone sneakily eavesdropped outside the account just now, and when his subordinates asked, he immediately turned around and ran away......" Speaking of this, Zhang Han was full of shame, "I'm sorry, Bai Protector, my subordinates let him escape!" ”
"You can't be blamed for that." Gu Wanwan, who followed over, couldn't help but comfort Zhang Han when she saw Zhang Han with a guilty face, but after thinking about it, she began to worry again, "Who could it be?" ”
"It's not good to stay here, we'll leave tonight!" Bai Wutong was silent for a while, and said with a solemn face.
"Leaving tonight? Where to go? "How easy is it to have a hundred or so people here overnight?
"Yes, Dharma Protector, this matter is really a bit hasty, and we still have unfinished business here." Zhang Han also felt that this matter was decided too quickly, and hoped that Bai Wutong would think twice.
"Those things are put on hold for the time being, the pursuers may already be on the way, and we must hurry." Bai Wutong's handsome face showed a rare anxious look.
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Han immediately nodded and said, "My subordinates will go and order!" "The imminent arrival of the pursuers means that the safety of the princess will be at great risk, and nothing else is important when you think of it.
"Do you think it's someone sent by Yan Wushuang?" When Zhang Han walked away, Gu Wanwan's pale little face regained a trace of blood.
When I think of the dream she once had, I couldn't help but combine it with the current situation. If Yan Wushuang really led people to catch up with them, would he order all the people of Xiliang to be buried under the bloody knife in a fit of rage?
If it was Yan Wushuang in the past, he might be able to make some sense, but now Yan Wushuang, Gu Wanwan really didn't dare to imagine what he would do.
"If it were his people, it wouldn't be so bad." Bai Wutong frowned and sighed, which was more intriguing.
"Why do you say that?" Gu Wanwan's eyebrows furrowed, she couldn't understand what he said.
Bai Wutong rolled her eyes and stared at Gu Wanwan deeply, couldn't the princess see it? Yan Wushuang would not hurt her. This is also the reason why he hopes that it is Yan Wushuang, he doesn't care about his life and death, all he cares about is her!
Seeing Gu Wanwan's confused look, he only had a trace of self-deprecation at the corner of his mouth in the end, and what he wanted to say turned into a sigh.
Under Zhang Han's call, all the people of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom gathered, and as soon as everyone heard that the chasing soldiers were coming, everyone's faces showed a sad color. Someone who couldn't bear it anymore asked, "White Protector, what should I do now?" ”
"No matter what, we must protect the princess, the princess is the hope of our Xiliang women's country, and we must not let the princess have trouble." I don't know who shouted such a sentence, and soon there were voices competing to echo it, saying words like that, and for a while an impassioned voice resounded through the valley.
Gu Wanwan was very moved, in the face of such a life-and-death juncture, everyone still cares about her safety, so that she can forget life and death, what a touching picture is this?
