Chapter 74 - Searching for wild boar herds

"No, no, even if you were to break the rules, I still wouldn't agree to take this risk."

The Sang Nu protected Mo Xiyan behind him and spoke quickly because he was speeding up Zhang Ye's pace.

She was so protective of him, Mo Xiyan's heart was filled with warmth.

It was good that at least one other person in the world protected her.

Those guards couldn't possibly do anything to the Sang Nu.

After all, she was too old to be touched.

A few hunters looked at each other, then looked at Mo Xiyan.

Looking at Miss Mo's weak body, she seemed like a willow tree that could fall with a light breeze.

They couldn't help but frown as they thought to themselves, "That's right, what kind of wind did they draw?"

They actually came to beg such a weak-looking girl to go play wild boar with them?

If Miss Mo really agreed to go with them, it would be troublesome.

After all, it was possible that such a young lady might faint the moment she saw a wild boar, let alone beat it.

Adding on the Sang Nu's obstruction, they started to retreat one after another in their hearts.

Mo Shan stood up with a face full of disappointment, looked at Sang Nu and said, "Alright, then we'll think of something."

Although they realized that Mo Xiyan was just a young miss of the Shangguan family, a young lady.

But in the circumstances, she was also a way out.

Although he already wanted to give up, he still felt regretful.

"How could a man beg a girl like that?"

Sang Nu was satisfied, she looked at them and planned to drag Mo Xiyan back into the house.

But it was stopped by Mo Xiyan.

Sang Nu looked at her in a slight daze.

"I want to try."

Mo Xiyan responded with a bright smile, and said loudly.

Her words caused the Hunters s who had not walked far away to stop in their tracks, and turned around to look at her.

"You're crazy."

Sang Nu cried out in alarm, "This is not the time to show off. Listen to your mother-in-law and follow me back to my room.

After saying that, she once again grabbed Mo Xiyan's hand and pulled him towards the house.

However, he was once again stopped by Mo Xiyan.

"I'm not showing off. I really want to try."

Mo Xiyan held her hand with her right hand, and said with a smile, "When I was in the capital, I had once followed father into the Royal Hunting Garden, and accompanied the princess to see how the imperial guards were helping the emperor hunt his prey."

Saying that, she paused for a moment, her gaze swept across Sang Nu and the others, then said: "Maybe I can really help."

Her words did have a certain amount of credibility.

After all, her father was the Prime Minister, so he held great power.

Every year, the Emperor would also organize a hunt.

After the hunting, there were all sorts of stories spread among the people.

As time passed, the game became a thriving event in folklore.

This was a private meeting place for the young masters and young misses, and also a training ground for the royal family's generals.

In short, by the end, the game had lost its true nature and become an all-powerful place.

In addition, the royal family's items were always better than his own. This was a common understanding among the commoners.

Even if it was the worst, they would still think that the royal family was purposefully concealing its strength.

Of course, the commoners would think that this was caused by the Emperor's intentional guidance.

Only the divine imperial power could rule the country more and better for a long time.

This was a tactic that practically all the emperors approved of.

Therefore, when Mo Xiyan said this, Sang Nu and the rest believed him for the most part.

As for the part that he did not believe in, it was only because Mo Xiyan was not only a woman, but also a girl who was too young.

"Are you really sure?" Sang Nu looked at Mo Xiyan, and said with hesitation.

"Yes, believe me. I wouldn't joke about my life, would I?"

Mo Xiyan nodded her head, her tone firm.

"That's right, Sang Nu, since Miss Mo has already said so, please let her go with us."

Mo Shan took the chance and walked up, and followed up with Mo Xiyan's words, "As long as you nod your head, I, Mo Shan, will use my life as a guarantor, and will definitely not let Miss Mo be injured."

"That's right, Sang Nu. Since Miss Mo has agreed to it herself, you can let them go."

The other hunters also took a step forward and began to lobby.

No matter what they said, Sang Nu was still hesitant.

She had no children, she really treated Mo Xiyan as her own granddaughter.

Who would be willing to risk their granddaughter's life?

How could Mo Xiyan not understand her thoughts?

She chuckled and went forward to grab hold of Sang Nu's arm, shaking it gently: "Granny, I promise you, once you discover danger, you will immediately hide in the corner, and not let yourself get hurt. You should be relieved by now."

As she spoke, she blinked her eyes, looking mischievous and adorable.

The face that Sang Nu had been tensed up about, instantly lost its effect.

"Cheng Cheng, since you said that, what else can this old woman say?"

Sang Nu lightly patted the back of her hand and sighed, "In short, safety is first, do you understand?"

"Yes, I promise."

Mo Xiyan lightly embraced her shoulder, and said gently, "Sang Nu, wait for me to come back, I'll bring you some game."

After saying that, she released her hands, took a step back, and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Sang Nu nodded his head, looking at her with deep concern, "Go, go. Be careful on the road."

When the hunters heard this, it was a success. They all walked to Mo Xiyan's side.

"Miss Mo, let's leave quickly. There's no time to lose."

They rushed over before dawn broke, and wanted to take advantage of the wild boars' time to find Mo Xiyan and exterminate him.

However, the Sang Nu had wasted a lot of time when he stopped them. The sky was about to brighten, but they did not know if the wild boars were still there.

Mo Xiyan also did not speak anymore, she immediately dismissed the Sang Nu and followed him into the mountains.

She hadn't even taken a few steps when Little White and Qing Qing came out of the yard and quickly caught up with her.

Their shouts made Mo Xiyan stop in her tracks, she turned around and picked up the two of them, and continued to move forward.

Sang Nu stood at the entrance of the courtyard. Only after seeing their figures completely hidden in the darkness did he turn around and shut the courtyard door, returning back to his room.

At this time of the year, it was already autumn, and the mountain without sunlight was especially gloomy and cold.

Mo Xiyan had yet to enter the mountain with the hunter, but a cold gust of wind blew over.

This wind seemed to be tainted with a bloody aura?

She frowned slightly, the two little ones in her arms also began to feel uneasy.

"Relax, everything will be fine."

She comforted Qing Qing and Xiao Bai, and calmly put her hand on the tree stem on the tree closest to her.

Silently, he used his Discipline to read what the trees saw. Suddenly, he understood.

There was indeed a group of wild boars ahead, but they only knew how much there was, they didn't know exactly how much there was.

If she rashly went past, perhaps she would be injured along with these hunters.

She thought for a while, then called for Mo Shan and the rest to stop.

"How many wild boars did you say there were?"

"Probably around ten." Mo Shan said directly.

"Are there any traps?" Mo Xiyan continued to ask.

"Yes, but they are very well-behaved and can't be bothered at all." When Mo Shan thought about how the wild boars were able to avoid the traps, it made his head hurt.

"Can you take me to see your trap first?" Mo Xiyan felt that she found out the reason why they couldn't catch the wild boar.

After all, this was still the era of cold weapons, so hunting was not like using a spear in the previous world.

They were purely using their weapons. With the thick skin of the wild boar, Hunters did not have any special abilities.

If the trap and the bow had no way to take them, then they could only fail.

Mo Shan and the others quickly arrived at the place where they had buried the trap.

Sure enough, they were using an earthy method.

Apart from the holes dug deep and being hidden well, the other traps were obvious traps that couldn't be more obvious.

Therefore, Mo Xiyan taught them to cover these traps with leaves and branches.

Then he taught them how to make a bamboo chop from bamboo, which hung from a tree, and how to touch the rope, which was buried in the ground.

By the time these traps were completed, it would be dawn and the wild boars would have long left.

However, Mo Shan and the others were in high spirits.

It was only because what Mo Xiyan had said had greatly benefited them.

At the same time, it also made them believe that with these improved traps, they would be able to deal with wild boars in the future and even hunt them down in the future with twice the results and half the effort.

"Miss Mo, let's send you back."

Because he felt gratitude in his heart, Mo Shan looked at Mo Xiyan with gratitude.

"No need, I still want to go into the mountain to gather some herbs. You guys can go back first."

Mo Xiyan rejected it with a smile.

In fact, what she really wanted to do was to find out where the wild boars' nests were, so that she could gain a better understanding of them.

She wasn't going to play hero.

She also knew that she alone would not be able to deal with so many ferocious wild animals.

What she wanted to do was to know who she was and thus reach the point of being invincible.

Hunters did not think too much about it. They also knew that Mo Xiyan had taken Dr. Yang as his master.

So when she went to the mountains to gather herbs, they just thought it was Dr. Yang's orders.

"Be careful Miss Mo, we will be leaving first."

Hunters said goodbye to Mo Xiyan and turned to leave.

"Alright, goodbye."

Only after Mo Xiyan watched them leave did she get Little White to bring her to follow the wild boar's scent to look for it.

The smell of the wild boar was very special.

Lil 'White smelled very convenient.

Thus, they quickly brought Mo Xiyan to a cave.

This cave was extremely concealed.

There were green vines all around the cave entrance, and from a distance, it looked like a part of the mountain.

At the same time, Mo Xiyan realised that they were quite close to the Mo Village, they would arrive in half an incense's time, it was no wonder why these wild boars were staring at the Mo Village.

Mo Xiyan put Little White and Qing Qing down, picked up a rock, and threw it into the cave.

She climbed quickly up the branches of the tree.

Meanwhile, Little White and Qing Qing were hiding in the grass near the entrance of the cave.

In the next second after they hid properly, two wild boars aggressively rushed out of the cave.

After they rushed out, they didn't find anyone, so they were all puzzled.

They vigilantly surveyed their surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, they slowly retreated.

Although Mo Xiyan saw wild boars, she still could not confirm just how powerful these wild boars were.

She thought for a moment, then jumped down from the tree.

From the vines at the entrance of the cave, a long vine was snapped off, and after injecting a few wood gas s into the vine, it took a deep breath, and directly stepped into the cave …
