Beiguan is three thousand miles away from the capital. According to the court regulations, the team escorting the Wei, Liang and Feng families must arrive within two months.
Although the Wei family had left the team, it was not easy to exceed this deadline. Otherwise, even if there was a petition letter explaining the situation, according to Emperor Xiaoming's temperament, he would probably not let them go.
Now half of the time has passed, with less than a month and a half left. Because they have to go around the borders of Suizhou, Chongzhou and Lianzhou, they are even farther away from Beiguan.
Fortunately, after leaving the main group, they no longer needed to walk on foot.
If they traveled at full speed, they could cover at least a hundred miles a day, which was much faster than the fifty miles a day they had traveled in the exile team before.
"Disasters have occurred frequently recently, and the northern barbarians are eyeing Dayong covetously. The north may not be peaceful. Once we find Mingxuan, we must hurry up and hurry on our way."
Wei Maolin put down the feng shui map and looked worriedly at the forest outside the car that was getting closer and closer.
If they had left yesterday, it would have been unexpected that they would take the initiative to return to this area where wolves roam.
Gao asked worriedly, "Lan'er, is everything really okay?"
"No problem. With Xiao Hei here, those wolves can't hurt us."
Wei Yunlan wasn't completely sure, but he had to go this time, and there was no need to make his parents worry about it. "After dark, I will go up the mountain with Team Leader Yu. I will leave six people here to protect you."
"Mom, don't worry. I'm just leading them. I won't confront the people in the mine. There's no danger."
"Oh." How could Gao really be at ease?
She only hated that she also had the blood of the Tianshi Mansion, but did not inherit the skills of her grandfather Gao Tianshi, otherwise why would her daughter need to step forward?
This risk should be borne by her as a mother!
The dense trees blocked out the dim evening sunlight.
The Wei family members quietly entered the forest and followed the path that Yu Qi and Pei Hu had explored during the day, and came to a cave hidden by trees at the foot of the mountain.
Just as they hid the horses, they heard some noises coming from the woods.
The Wei family became nervous.
Two nimble figures jumped out from the bushes, but they were not wolves, but two deer.
It was very similar to the one I saw before encountering the wolf pack last night.
Wei Yunlan left the cave entrance and walked forward a few steps. The deer, which was originally preparing to run away, slowed down its pace and turned its head to look at her, as if it was not afraid of her.
Wei Yunlan took a few steps forward, and the two deer did not hide away. Instead, they came closer to her out of curiosity.
Seeing them like this, Wei Yunlan suddenly felt a sense of "as expected".
She should have noticed this was unusual.
From the mule that was particularly obedient under her control when she first left the capital, to the rabbits and squirrels she met on the way to exile, and the falcons trained by Tianshu Pavilion...
She should have realized earlier that these birds and beasts treated her differently from how they treated other people.
Could this be what my mother said, the natural ability to get close to birds and animals that I inherited from my great-grandfather?
I don’t know whether this ability comes from blood, space, or the black dog that came out of the space?
While I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of footsteps on leaves beside me.
Wei Yunlan turned his head and saw the black dog walking up to him.
The deer, which was originally staying not far away, saw the black dog approaching and immediately spread its legs and ran away in panic.
Seeing this, Wei Yunlan immediately erased the last guess in his mind.
Reaching out and touching the black dog's shiny, sleek head, she sighed, "Xiao Hei, it would be nice if you could talk. At least you've been in this space longer than I have, so you should know more than I do, right?"
In response to Wei Yunlan, the black dog let out a purr from its throat.
Immediately afterwards, it started digging the soil in front of Wei Yunlan.
"What do you mean? Is there something buried underneath?" Wei Yunlan asked softly.
The black dog stopped and after a moment, continued to dig the soil as before, but did not actually dig up the yellow soil in front of it.
Wei Yunlan suddenly realized, "You want me to dig in the space?"
The black dog suddenly stopped moving.
Wei Yunlan felt that his guess might be correct this time.
Back in the cave, he leaned against the stone wall, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness sink into the space.
But the space is so big, where should I start digging...
Suddenly, she thought of the place where the black dog had been lying before.
Since there is no better idea, let's start digging from that place!
There were no shovels or spades in the space, so Wei Yunlan tried to move the soil with her consciousness, but failed. Finally, she found a spatula from the kitchen utensils she had robbed from the Hou Mansion kitchen, pointed it at the area that was previously surrounded by white fog, and dug it down with a shovel.
I actually poked into a hard object.
Wei Yunlan's eyes lit up. Could it be that the secret of space was about to be revealed?
But the next moment, the small hard object was dug out, and it turned out to be a small sign with the words "Black Cloud" engraved on it.
Wei Yunlan quietly took the thing out of the space, opened his palm and looked at it carefully.
Apart from these two words, there seemed to be nothing else special on the sign.
"Black cloud..."
Wei Yunlan muttered to himself.
The black dog lying in front of him suddenly sat up and let out a loud, "Woof!"
"Little Black?"
“…”
"Black Cloud?" Wei Yunlan looked at the black dog.
She was responded with two loud, "Woof woof!"
Well, now Wei Yunlan finally understood.
