With her dual plant and beast-mastery superpowers, Lu Wanyin is reborn back to her wedding night. Her husband is a general, strong and well-built. Unfortunately, the next day the new emperor orders...
Chapter 83 Encountering a strange wolf pack
Just as Lu Wanyin served the fried base ingredients, she heard the Xie family members fighting again in the stable.
She looked at Xuan Qi curiously: "Go and find out what they are arguing about."
Xuan Qi came back soon and described the battle situation in vivid detail.
Lu Wanyin laughed out loud: "It seems that Xie Derui was really hurt by Xie Zichuan. The feud between these two families is really deep."
Xuan Qi was distributing the hot pot base while saying, "That's right! But Madam, what happened to Xie Zichuan yesterday? Why was he still like that?"
Lu Wanyin said, "If the mushrooms are not cooked thoroughly, they are poisonous and will cause hallucinations."
However, Xie Zichuan's hallucination is still a bit strange.
There is no guarantee that this little bastard is really coveting the Jiang family.
Thinking of this, Lu Wanyin got goosebumps all over her body.
It’s disgusting to think about it.
The guards all shared a pot and ate the hot pot around it.
Lu Wanyin specially brought a small stove and went to the room to eat with Xie Jingci.
She has to pretend to be disabled outside and feed him, which is quite troublesome.
It didn't matter since they were the only two in the room.
Xie Jingci knew the process of eating hot pot. After boiling the food, he coated it with sesame sauce and handed it to Lu Wanyin's mouth: "Madam, try it."
Lu Wanyin usually feeds Xie Jingci a lot, but when he feeds himself...
Why do I feel so awkward?
Xie Jingci raised his chopsticks and asked, "Don't you like it?"
Lu Wanyin shook her head and ate from Xie Jingci's hand.
Knock knock.
Hou Yuanji sent Wu Fan to knock on the door: "General, Madam, the Xie family is fighting and there's bloodshed this time. Do you want to send someone to stop it?"
Lu Wanyin glanced at Xie Jingci.
Xie Jingci said calmly, "Since they like to fight, then let them fight to their heart's content."
Wu Fan replied yes and left.
After he left, Lu Wanyin ate and said, "I thought the Xie family was very important to you, otherwise you wouldn't have allowed them to suck your blood for so long."
Unexpectedly, Xie Jingci said, "It was in the past."
It seems that Xie Jingci is going to open his heart to her.
Lu Wanyin ate the meat and waited for his next words.
"Before Zhou came into the family, Xie Deyao was a competent father. Before my mother died, she told me to be tolerant and not to embarrass my father."
Lu Wanyin also lived that kind of life in the Chenyang Marquis Mansion.
She could empathize with that cautious feeling.
"I joined the army at a very young age and have seen the uncertainty of life and death. I feel that the bustling atmosphere of the general's mansion, even if everyone has ulterior motives, is better than being alone in the cold and desolate world."
Lu Wanyin looked at Xie Jingci in surprise.
I didn't expect that under Xie Jingci's cold and hard appearance, he actually had such a lonely and soft heart.
Lu Wanyin sighed: "It's a pity that they don't treat you as family."
Xie Jingci looked at Lu Wanyin with burning eyes: "It's okay, I have a better family now."
Lu Wanyin realized that he was talking about herself.
If you think about it carefully, she seems to be a person without family.
But she didn't care.
Family is not something that is absolutely necessary.
Lu Wanyin responded: "Since you said so, then I will also express my attitude. As long as you don't betray me, I will always treat you well."
But if she betrays me, her fate will be the same as Lu Mimi's.
There is no place to bury the dead.
Xie Jingci suddenly grasped Lu Wanyin's hand and said firmly, "I will never let you down. If you break this oath, heaven will punish you."
"Okay, you're my husband, I can do it!"
…
The next morning, the group set off early.
Lu Wanyin was shocked when she saw the faces of the first and second wives of the Xie family.
None of them are good.
Zhou had a large bald patch on her head, and her hairstyle was like a kappa's, which could not be covered at all.
Xie Derui's face was also covered in blood.
If the battle continues at this pace, by the time they reach the wilderness, half of the Xie family members will be gone.
Hou Yuanji took the map and asked Lu Wanyin for the next route.
Lu Wanyin said, "Let's go to Jingyuanzhou."
Hou Yuanji was puzzled: "Why go to Jingyuanzhou?"
The Road of Exile doesn't pass through Jingyuanzhou. Could it be that Lu Wanyin is going to run away?
Hou Yuanji was extremely panicked.
Lu Wanyin said: "Don't ask so many questions, I just want to ask if you can leave."
Hou Yuanji sighed: "Okay."
The group marched towards Jingyuanzhou in a mighty procession.
Halfway along the mountain road, Lu Wanyin suddenly felt something was wrong.
She stopped the team and asked Hou Yuanji to send someone to check ahead.
Hou Yuanji's men came back quickly, running away in a panic.
"My Lord, in front... in front, there is a wolf!"
Lu Wanyin understood that her animal-controlling ability allowed her to sense all animals nearby.
But this time something is clearly wrong.
The wolves were in such a strange state that she couldn't communicate with them.
Hou Yuanji subconsciously looked at Lu Wanyin.
After all, if someone can create crows and pythons, it's normal for them to create some wolves to block the way.
Just as Hou Yuanji was about to speak, Lu Wanyin glared at him: "Don't look at me, I don't know!"
She really didn't know, but it was not certain whether Hou Yuanji really believed it.
Hou Yuanji ordered the team to rest on the spot, and said anxiously: "Why don't we just leave? This place is not on the way, there is no need to take the risk."
Lu Wanyin glanced at Xie Jingci.
She was going to Jingyuanzhou to learn how to disguise herself.
At worst, she could change the route and teleport there secretly at night.
Xie Jingci nodded: "Okay."
Hou Yuanji was about to turn back happily when Lu Wanyin pointed ahead and said, "It seems it's too late."
Hou Yuanji looked over and saw that there were suddenly more than a dozen wolves on the top of the hill.
The eyes of these wolves were greener than black jade, and they stared at everyone quietly.
It seemed like it might rush down at any moment.
The Xie family was so frightened that they trembled, and only after being whipped several times by the escort did they calm down.
Lu Wanyin carefully sensed the wolves, but could not easily command them like she controlled Mo Yu.
"Hurry and go!"
As soon as Hou Yuanji gave the order, he was stopped by Lu Wanyin.
"If you leave now, they'll definitely catch up. Stay here and don't move. I'll go take a look."
Hou Yuanji looked at Lu Wanyin in shock: "I... I heard correctly, there are more than a dozen wild wolves! You are a weak woman, can you do it?"
Lu Wanyin rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm not going, you go."
Hou Yuanji shrank his neck and said, "I can't possibly go. I belong to the Marquis' Mansion..."
Lu Wanyin didn't have time to pay attention to him and walked towards the wolf pack cautiously.
Xie Jingci glanced at Xuan Qi and asked him to carry him on his back.
Judging from Lu Wanyin's serious look, there was obviously something wrong with this group of wolves.
He had just sworn an oath, so naturally he couldn't let Lu Wanyin take the risk alone.
Xuan Qi quickly approached Lu Wanyin with Xie Jingci on his back.
Without waiting for Lu Wanyin to ask, Xie Jingci took the initiative to explain: "We encountered a pack of wolves at the border, maybe we can help you."
Lu Wanyin had no choice but to nod: "Listen to me later. If I don't let you take action, don't act rashly."
Everyone held their breath as they watched Lu Wanyin and the other two approach the wolf pack step by step.
Especially Hou Yuanji, he inexplicably felt that Lu Wanyin would be able to handle it.
What the hell, at this moment, shouldn't he curse those three people to be bitten to death by wolves?
It would be best if there were not even a bone left, so that he could report to His Majesty.
