Yue Chanjuan's gaze scanned the surroundings; she was looking for Tuoba Fei's figure. That man had nearly killed her in the process of scaring off the Xumi race.
When thousands of horses were galloping closer to her, the shadow of death had already completely enveloped her. Where was that man?
She remembered the Huns who had carried her in their arms, their backs and their bodies, protecting her with their lives. They had only met a few times and spoken very little.
"Presumably, if I didn't have the protection of crying out loud, I would have been killed or crippled if I had fallen into the ravine, right?"
Yue Chanjuan did not dare to think any further. The place she had fallen onto just happened to have many sharp rocks in it. Even a strong and sturdy person like Huhe Xie had almost died there and then.
Unable to find Tuoba Fei's figure in the middle of the chaotic battlefield, Yue Chan lazily closed the window. She didn't want to see too much blood and life disappear.
From another window, ZhongAo Shuang looked out. There were warriors with white dogs surrounding him, surrounding the carriage. He didn't have to worry about anything.
"Why is it like this? Why do I always feel there's something wrong with this? From the very beginning, they had been travelling from King Lou. Could it be that what happened to King Lou was not an accident? If that's the case, for the princess to come to the Jiuquan to pay respects and even announce that she has brought all of her dowry, could it be on purpose? "
Zhong Ao Shuang's heart was colder than the cold winter night wind. If that was the case, then what kind of situation did she have to put the princess in?
Turning back to look at Yue Chanjuan, she closed her eyes slightly. There was not a single ripple on her impeccable appearance. It was as if everything that had happened was very natural.
"That day, when I went to Great Wan City to seek an audience with Dan Yu and Prince Xian of the Left, I didn't see any of them. When I returned to the city, I heard that Dan Yu had personally come to the camp. According to He Yaohui, the princess must have already seen him in the city and intentionally lured him into the army camp. What exactly had happened in the Great Wen City? What did you say to the princess that day? "
Zhong Ao Shuang discovered that he knew nothing about this matter. Although she had asked Yue Chanjuan tactfully afterwards, she did not say anything.
Silently, he closed the window, closed the cold wind outside, and lowered his head in thought.
The night passed quickly, and the people of the Great Moon Sect came in full fury. However, they retreated quickly, and without waiting for the sun to rise, they quietly retreated as if they had never appeared before.
"Why did Prince Xian of the Left retreat so quickly?"
"They don't have many people. I'm afraid Prince Xian of the Left hasn't arrived yet."
"How would the princess know?"
"I'm guessing that if they had enough troops, they wouldn't have let such a good opportunity go. Judging from last night's raid, there shouldn't be many people here, not as many as Chou Rong, so they took advantage of the time it took for the surprise attack to take place and retreated. Perhaps in a few days, more of Big Moon's forces will arrive. "
"The princess is wise, and this subject is far from being stupid."
Zhong Ao Shuang felt that the longer he was together with Yue Chanjuan, the more surprises she brought him. He had never known that Yue Chanjuan also knew military tactics and martial arts, but every time she brought him surprises and surprises.
"You are too kind, Mr Zhong."
Yue Chan clearly understood Ao Shuang's thoughts, but there was no need to hide anything from Zhong Ao Shuang. If Zhong Ao Shuang was someone that Emperor Sheng had sent to spy on her, then he and Emperor Sheng would feel more at ease.
"Judging from his appearance, it seems like he doesn't know that I've read about military tactics. Did the Emperor not tell him, or is he pretending not to know?"
Zhong Ao Shuang's clear eyes were filled with surprise and admiration. Yue Chan did not find it in Zhong Ao Shuang's eyes to be pretentious.
She hoped that Zhong Ao Shuang wasn't Emperor Sheng's trusted aide, even if she had the Emperor's secret edict, she wouldn't betray her. However, she had to be careful. There were some things she could let ZhongAo Shuang know, and others she couldn't.
After the surprise attack last night, the Iron Fountain didn't dare to stay any longer and increased its speed. It didn't stop until late at night when the people were exhausted.
Yue Chanjuan and Zhong Ao Shuang could rest in the carriage for a while longer, but the Hound King's men were already exhausted as they galloped on horseback.
Tie Feng used all his might to release the white dog, who began to patrol the area, allowing the men to rest and drink.
Looking at the distant carriage of Yue Chan Juan, he really wanted to glance at her and say a few words to her. But last night, Zhong Ao Shuang's words were like a sharp thorn that pierced his heart.
He didn't dare to let King Rong be dissatisfied with him. The position he had obtained today wasn't easy. As the son of a servant, it wasn't easy for him to survive. How many times had he seen his father's servant, the son he gave birth to, die inexplicably, yet he had never seen his father go and question too much?
It was already very difficult for a slave to receive a gift. Their master had given birth to children, much less a servant of King Rong.
The king had many concubines, and he did not need a servant to bear his children. Tie Fu clenched his fists tightly. His mother was still the lowest concubine, and this was also the gift of the king, because she had a son as good as Tie Fu.
"I have to live on first, very well. As for her, I cannot afford her now. Perhaps in the future, I can …"
Tie Fu silently gazed at Yue Chan Juan's beautiful figure in the distance for a long time before finally turning his head.
"Howl …"
A long and mournful howl came from afar. Tie Fu was startled. It was the sound of a white dog. Not only was the dog's appearance similar to that of a wolf, but even its howls were hard to distinguish.
The men immediately went on guard and mounted their horses to prepare for battle. They should have rested early, but none of them dared to stop for too long. If they didn't return to the tribe as soon as possible, they would only be left with nothing more than their own troops.
Compared to the Great Moon Sect, their power was limited. Moreover, they could not wait for the reinforcements to arrive, so they could only return to the company of the dogs as soon as possible.
"That Princess Wuyou is indeed a demoness. She has yet to bring her back to DogLeading, and she has already attracted the troops from Dajun. If I bring her back, I'm afraid that Tangerine will be fighting Dai Li alone. My DogLeading will not be able to withstand the pincer attack from Dajun and Dazhong."
A man of the Canine Clan glared hatefully at Yue Chanjuan's distant figure. However, none of them dared to say anything. Their king had paid an enormous price in exchange for this demoness.
"Princess, Prince Xian of the Left might be able to save her, but I'm not sure if he's here yet."
