Chapter 1769 Wheel

Ran Xiaoyu was next to her and immediately felt her breathing change. She asked, "What's wrong, Madam?"

Nan Yan grabbed her hand and whispered, "Xiao Yu, look over there. What's that shining? Why is it so green?"

"where?"

"There."

Nan Yan said this, pointing forward.

Ran Xiaoyu frowned slightly and looked intently in the direction of Nan Yan's finger. Sure enough, she saw some green spots flashing in the dark night. It was just that they were too far away and the light was too dim to be seen without paying attention.

She said, "So, what are those? Why do they look so strange?"

Nan Yan asked, "Is it a firefly?"

"Firefly, it should move."

“…”

"Why do these lights seem to be motionless? No, they seem to be moving, but they don't look like fireflies."

As she was speaking, Ran Xiaoyu suddenly gasped: "Wolf!"

"What?!"

When Nan Yan heard this word, her eyes widened in shock.

When the guards who were nearby heard it, they hurried over. Ran Xiaoyu pointed it out to them, and it really looked like a wolf.

There are indeed wolves on the grassland, especially in such snowy and icy places. They will come out in groups to look for food, and because of hunger and lack of food, they are more ferocious and bloodthirsty than usual. Once they find their prey, they will chase it relentlessly and will not stop until they get it in their mouths.

But--

One of the soldiers, Zhao Daxi, frowned and said, "This is not right!"

Nan Yan heard his words and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Daxi said, "Although there are wolves on the grassland, this place is not far from Bailong City. They have militia patrols in the city from time to time to prevent bandits and wolves from harming people. Even if wild wolves do appear, they are just lone wolves out foraging for food."

“…”

"Like this—"

As he spoke, he looked around. He hadn't noticed it just now, but now he saw that there were actually many green eyes flashing in the dark night in all directions. He swallowed and said, "A wolf pack like this should have been defeated by their militia long ago."

Nan Yan frowned.

Fortunately, they brought a lot of people with them, and they all had torches in their hands, so they were not afraid even if there really were a pack of wolves.

However, she didn't want to cause unnecessary casualties.

So he urged, "Forget it, forget about the wolves for now, push the carriage out quickly, and we'll set off immediately. Don't get entangled with these wolves."

"yes."

When everyone heard this, a few more people ran over and pushed the carriage with all their might.

However, no matter how hard they pushed, the horses pulling the cart in front were so tired that they were sweating profusely, but the cart still sank into the pit and did not move at all.

Nan Yan felt something was amiss, so she called Ting Fu over and said, "Take the torch and go over there to light the way for them."

"yes."

Tingfu hurried over with a torch, and the flash of fire illuminated the pit where the wheel had fallen.

Suddenly, Nan Yan saw a flash of cold light inside.

She said, "That's—"

Before she could finish her words, the soldiers, fearing that they would be blamed by the imperial concubine if they failed to do their job well, all gritted their teeth and pushed forward with all their might.

"one two three!"

Nan Yan suddenly said, "Stop!"

But it was too late.

The entire carriage was pushed forward suddenly, but then a sharp cracking sound was heard under the wheels.
