216. Encounter with wolves
After she finished speaking, she paused, and then said: "Keep an eye on Gao Yanghou's movements at any time, and once you find out that he may be coming, immediately go to find Gao Xiaoshizi." ”
Although Han Qing and Han Mo were dissatisfied with her, they knew that this was for the good of Emperor Chenyuan, so they responded one by one.
Wen Yu saw that the matter was settled, and after all, he was not at ease with her, and said: "You are too dangerous alone, let the Fuzhong guards follow." ”
"Okay, send me one. Chu Feng resigned, "Choose the fastest horse in the mansion for me." ”
Hearing Chu Fengci's words, Han Qing said: "The fastest horse should belong to the master's chasing wind, but this horse has a rebellious temperament and only obeys the master. ”
"Take me to see it. ”
Chu Fengci followed Han Qing to the stable, chasing the wind in a separate stable, the brown-red hair was shiny, it could be seen that it was well raised.
But since she appeared here, the horse just gave her a lazy glance and never reacted again.
It can be seen that the horse is not very good-tempered, and has a sense of arrogance in it, which is very similar to his master in this respect.
"Be careful, this horse has a strong temperament and will hurt people. Han Qing reminded.
Chu Fengci stepped forward, stopped in front of the stable, and did not start, but looked into the horse's eyes and said, "Your master's life is hanging by a thread now, and you must take blood ginseng to save your life, but this is far away from the snow-capped mountains, and ordinary horses can't come back in twelve hours." If you have the spirit, would you like to go with me on this trip for your master?"
When Han Qing heard this, he looked at Chasing Feng, and saw that Chasing Feng, who was originally arrogant and unwilling to be dealt with, bit the rope he tied to the pillar, kicked open the door of the stable, bit the rope and stopped in front of Chu Fengci, lowered his head and barked twice.
"Good boy. ”
Chu Feng was moved, stretched out his hand towards it, and put the horse rope in her palm.
She grabbed it, turned over her horse, took the sword handed by Han Qing, and took the escort and rode away.
Han Qing muttered, "It takes six hours to get from here to the snowy mountains without eating, drinking, or resting, and one round trip is twelve hours, not counting the time to find and collect blood ginseng, is it too late......?"
I don't know what it was because of my thoughts, but Han Mo, who has always spoken little, suddenly spoke, "It's too late, we have to believe that she will be fine." ”
I don't know if what Han Mo said about her was Chu Fengci or Emperor Chenyuan.
Wen Yu looked at the backs of the group, sighed, and said with a solemn expression, "Light incense, timer!"
The long road was long, and Chu Fengci rode to chase the wind and quickly threw off the people behind him, shuttling between the mountains and forests like a bolt of lightning.
She had only one thought in her heart, and that was to do her best to shorten the journey back and forth, so that she would have enough time to look for blood ginseng.
After passing through the long forest, you will enter the snow-capped mountains.
In the cold winter season, the wind blowing was cold, and Chu Fengci's whole person seemed to lose consciousness.
When he arrived at the foot of the Snow Mountain, the temperature was even lower, Chu Feng gathered the coat on his body, leaned over and touched the chasing wind, and said softly, "Good boy, I know you are very tired, hold on a little longer, and when you reach the top of the mountain, I will find you a cave sheltered from the wind and snow for you to rest in." ”
Chasing the wind barked lowly, which was a response.
Chu Fengci touched its mane, "Okay, chasing the wind, let's go!"
Chasing the wind with a long roar, he ran to the snowy mountain.
The snow-capped mountains are high and steep, and the higher you go, the heavier the snow.
Chu Fengci settled Chasing Wind in a cave, found some dry firewood to make a fire, and found hay to put in front of Chasing Wind and spread it on the ground, so that it was convenient for Chasing Wind to lie on his stomach when he was lying on the ground.
"Chasing the wind, you can rest here and wait for me to come back. ”
Chasing the wind rubbed her palm, as if in response.
Chu Feng quit the cave, found some branches to cover the entrance of the cave, and after blocking the wind and snow, he raised his sword and walked towards the top of the mountain.
The howling wind and snow had a huge resistance, and she felt as if she was walking forward with a thousand-pound iron shield, and every step was difficult and heavy, either blown back or slipped by the snow.
Even, tumbling down the hillside, rolling all over the snow......
I don't know how many times I tumbled down, and finally climbed the bend of the mountain, and after passing through the wind and snow mouth, the wind and snow were much smaller, and the resistance to move forward became smaller.
Chu Fengci didn't dare to delay for a moment, and walked towards the top of the mountain with his sword as a crutch.
Although blood ginseng grows on snow-capped mountains, it needs abundant sunlight, so it usually grows on the cliff at the top of the mountain, because the sunlight is best there.
After figuring out this, the scope of Chu Fengci's search suddenly narrowed down a lot.
She went up to the top of the mountain, found the cliff, took off the rope behind her back, tied one end of the rope to the stone and the other end to herself, and slowly explored the edge of the cliff.
Underneath him was a white expanse, and nothing could be seen. She could only see a small area in front of her, crisscrossed by vegetation across her body, and at first she could feel pain, but then she didn't feel anything.
Finally, I found blood ginseng next to a crooked neck tree, and in this white mountain, this blood ginseng was red and dazzling.
She dragged the rope and swung it hard, grabbed the crooked neck tree and climbed it, carefully plucked the blood ginseng, and carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief.
Suddenly, the rope moved, Chu Fengci hurriedly grabbed it, stuffed the blood ginseng into his arms, and was about to climb up, the rope was violently pulled.
It's not something that the wind and snow can cause, it's something tugging at her rope!
She reached for her waist and took off the dagger, because she had to climb the mountain, so she put the sword on it, and now she only had this dagger on her body.
The rope was pulled violently, driving her to rise quickly, and when she was about to reach the edge of the cliff, Chu Fengci jumped hard with the help of the stone, and saw that the cliff was full of wolves.
The gray hair, the hungry expression, and the green glow of the eyes all saw her, and they all whined.
She decisively cut the rope off her body, grabbed a tree on the cliff, and stepped on it to jump up the cliff.
The wolves surrounded her, and she looked around, her sword on the stone, some distance away from her, and the wolves kept closing in on her.
She clenched the dagger and quickly found the head wolf, the wolf pack is a pack of animals, has its own leader, and all hunting operations are arranged by the head wolf...
Only by killing the first wolf can the pack fall apart and flee in all directions.
Thinking like this, Chu Fengci carefully looked at the wolves, the first wolf issued an order, and generally occupied the commanding heights and would not participate in the hunt, so... It's the snow wolf standing on the rock...
Chu Fengci looked at it from a distance, it was a silver-gray wolf, his eyes looked very ruthless, standing in the wind and snow, and his body could not move a bit.
Suddenly, the snow wolf shouted, and all the wolves were ready to move and attack her.
