The King of the Southern Wilderness’ carriage was in the middle. Wei Ting only needed to follow.
The west and south gates were controlled by the Azure Dragon and Hidden Tiger tribes. The north and east gates were not controlled so quickly.
They disguised themselves and left the north city gate as a caravan.
North?
The Great Zhou was in the north of the southern border. Could it be that Zongzheng Ming planned to go north to meet up with the six tribes and attack the capital to fight with Zongzheng Wei for the throne?
Not every tribe could submit to the Zongzheng Wei as easily as the Azure Dragon and Hidden Tiger.
If not for the little fat peacock obtaining the Yin family’s trust, things would have been very difficult.
The two tribes under the Cheng family had long been controlled by Zongzheng Ming and were considered his loyalists.
The four tribes under the Yue and Ji families were the first to send troops. At this moment, they had long arrived at the border. Zongzheng Ming could completely seize the initiative and bite back at Zongzheng Wei.
They could not let Zongzheng Ming rush to the border.
The group traveled from noon to dark. They found a stream in a deep mountain forest and camped near the stream tonight.
Wei Ting picked up dry firewood and started a fire. His hands and feet were very agile, and it was impossible to tell that he was a noble young master.
This was all thanks to his days as a lived-in son-in-law in Apricot Flower Village. Otherwise, he would immediately be exposed.
They had come out in a hurry and did not bring any rations, so they could only improvise with what they had on the spot.
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards instructed a few subordinates to hunt and pick some wild fruits and vegetables.
A Ghost Shadow Guard picked a pile of mushrooms and returned.
Wei Ting said, “These are poisonous mushrooms. They can’t be eaten.” The Ghost Shadow Guard carrying the poisonous mushrooms uttered, “Huh?”
The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards looked at Wei Ting in surprise. He sized him up for a moment and threw him a bottle. “Catch it!”
Wei Ting took it. It was a bottle of golden sore medicine.
He looked down at his left arm and realized that he had pulled on his wound while driving the carriage. Blood was flowing out of the armor and had been dried.
“Thank you, Sir!”
Wei Ting thanked him.
It was really not that he was kind, but Xie Jinnian could tell when that person returned from picking poisonous mushrooms.
Xie Jinnian was about to say that when he spoke first.
After Wei Ting finished building the fire, he saw Xie Jinnian walking towards him from the corner of his eye.
Why did he come over?
Could it be that he had exposed himself?
Wei Ting’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down.
He had met Xie Jinnian once in Bird City, but his appearance at that time was different from today’s, and his voice was disguised.
He took a gamble that Xie Jinnian didn’t recognize him. “Jiang Feng.” Xie Jinnian stopped beside him. “Have you roasted a rabbit?” So it was about the roasted rabbit. It gave him a fright.
Wei Ting stood up and looked a little nervous. “Eunuch Jin, I’ve roasted it a few times. ”
Xie Jinnian handed over two rabbits hunted by the Ghost Shadow Guards.
Wei Ting took it.
“His Majesty doesn’t like meat that is too old.”
After giving his instructions, Xie Jinnian turned around and returned to Zongzheng Ming’s tent.
Wei Ting took the live rabbits to the stream to deal with them and thought about how to deal with Zong Zhengming at the same time.
He was no longer being watched, but it was useless to use a secret signal now.
He was too far away.
He had to send the news immediately to get his brothers and the Black-armored Guards to arrive before dawn.
Wei Ting skewered the finished rabbit on a wooden stick and roasted it over the fire.
The Ghost Shadow Guards returned with a lot of wild animals. These two were dedicated to Zongzheng Ming, so the meat was naturally the fattest.
The skin was roasted with a layer of fat and was wrapped in full rabbit meat. A crisp fragrance floated up from the entire stream.
The Ghost Shadow Guards swallowed in unison.
Wei Ting skewered it with a wooden stick and sent it to Zong Zhengming. “Your Majesty, the rabbit meat is ready.”
Xie Jinnian lifted the curtain of the tent and brought the two rabbits in.
About fifteen minutes later, Xie Jinnian came out with the two wooden sticks in his hand.
Zongzheng Ming did not have a good appetite, and there was still a lot of rabbit meat left.
Xie Jinnian gave Wei Ting a rabbit leg and let the Ghost Shadow Guards split the rest.
He returned to the carriage and fed the two birds.
The black crow ate happily.
Wuhu refused to eat.
Xie Jinnian touched the parrot. “Aren’t you happy to be locked in a cage?”
Wuhu ignored him.
Xie Jinnian hesitated for a moment before closing the cage.
Wuhu was shocked.
Was he not letting it go out for a walk?
At this moment, everyone was eating and no one deliberately stared at Wei Ting.
However, Zongzheng Ming’s carriage was not to be approached by ordinary people. It was too abrupt for him to go over like this.
Just as Wei Ting was hesitating about how to create chaos, Cheng Lian, who was in the other carriage, suddenly woke up..
