The others looked at each other, then shouted in unison, "Your Highness Prince An, Miss Lu loves you~~"
The shouts echoed throughout the mountains, and everyone burst into laughter.
This feeling is wonderful.
“Miss Lu, I love you~~” Lu Xiaoyun shouted.
The guards glanced at their master. It turned out that Prince An, who used to be cold-blooded and ruthless on the battlefield, had such an adorable side.
Jiang Chuan nudged Wu Chuan with his elbow: "Hey, is the Prince different from before?"
Xi Yi munched on the biscuit in his hand: "You're by the master's side every day, don't you know that the master has changed a lot since then?"
"Of course I know, I'm asking you, is this good or bad?"
"What do you think, Jiang Chuan? Have you been neglecting the stables for a while and are getting restless?" Wu Chuan laughed at him, glancing sideways at his backside. "Or are you itching for a beating after a few days?"
Jiang Chuan immediately squeezed his legs together: "Who said that? I think the current prince is very good, extremely good!"
The guards laughed at him again.
While munching on a pancake, Xi Yi lowered his voice and said to Wu Chuan, "This kid is seeing Commander Feng and Qi Yu being affectionate, and he misses Li Feng."
Wu Chuan laughed: "When we return to Shengjing, I will ask the Princess to marry Li Feng to him as his wife."
Xi Yi crossed his arms: "I don't think it's that easy. Li Feng, that little girl, hasn't figured things out yet. She probably only just realized how much Jiang Chuan feels for her. If she wants to marry him, Jiang Chuan will have to work hard."
Wu Chuan asked him mysteriously, "How do you know so much? What did you see?"
Xi Yi chuckled, munching on his own pancake, keeping him hanging on. The other dozen or so guards also gathered around: "Brother Xi, tell us. What did you see?"
Xi Yi flicked each of them on the forehead: "You're all acting like sissies, so gossipy. Jiang Chuan is almost married, and you're all still bachelors."
Wu Chuan puffed out his chest and coughed lightly, saying, "Xi Yi, I should be the one to say this, since you're all alone."
Xi Yi: "..."
"Master, we need to hurry on our way. It looks like it's going to rain." Feng Yan said to Lu Xiaoyun.
Lu Xiaoyun looked up at the sky, which suddenly darkened. The weather in the mountains can change in an instant, and it would be troublesome if it rained heavily. Besides, the temperature at the top of the mountain is several degrees lower than at the foot of the mountain.
"Okay, let's go." They needed to get to the foot of the mountain in one go.
As the saying goes, going up a mountain is easy, but going down is hard. Zhu Yu and Qi Yu, the two girls, experienced firsthand how their little legs trembled as they went down.
Fortunately, Zhu Yu had Lu Xiaoyun holding his hand, and Qi Yu had Feng Yan protecting him closely, so they made it down the mountain without any mishaps.
We will reach the foot of the mountain in another half hour. By this time, it was getting dark, and there was a feeling that a storm was brewing.
Lu Xiaoyun looked at Zhu Yu, whose forehead was covered in fine sweat. Although it looked like it was about to rain, his judgment was correct; no one was lying in ambush.
However, just as this thought crossed their minds, Zhu Yu and Lu Xiaoyun suddenly stopped in their tracks, spreading their arms to pull the person behind them to a halt.
Feng Yan and the others also changed their expressions. The guards drew their swords and formed a circle around their three masters, Lu Xiaoyun, Zhu Yu, and Lu Yuyan, protecting them in the middle.
The horse behind them began to neigh anxiously; if it hadn't been led away by the guards, it would have run away long ago.
Lu Yuyan's martial arts skills were inferior to theirs, and he couldn't sense any danger. He didn't know why everyone had suddenly become so vigilant: "What happened? Is there an ambush?"
“There are wolves, a pack of wolves, and quite a few of them!” Feng Yan said in a low voice.
Zhu Yu immediately ordered, "Tie the horses up tightly, lest they be scared away by the wolves!"
Otherwise, even if they drove off the wolves, they would still have to walk. The nearest post station was more than 50 li away from the foot of the mountain, which would take half an hour to reach by horseback.
It looks like it's going to rain again.
Lu Yuyan recalled watching the animal world program, which introduced that a wolf pack usually has one alpha wolf leading a dozen or twenty wolves.
There were eighteen of them in total. Apart from himself, who was practically unskilled in martial arts, the rest were all top-tier martial arts masters. Although they were extremely exhausted and had two girls with them, they should be able to handle more than twenty wolves.
Unless it's the wolf king!
The wolf king led a force that had grown from twenty to several hundred wolves; he thought their luck couldn't be that bad.
However, as the stench grew closer, Lu Yuyan's hair stood on end when he saw the number of wolves. He was so shocked that he felt a shiver run through his body. At a quick glance, he estimated there were nearly a hundred of them.
That's it, their luck really is extremely bad.
Wolves are extremely cunning and ferocious animals. When faced with prey, they will bite off its neck, tear it apart, and swallow it whole.
The horse, tethered to the tree, became extremely agitated and restless.
Even though they were all seasoned veterans, they couldn't help but swallow hard. There were too many wolves, their eyes gleaming green, closing in on them from all directions.
Sharp fangs, sticky drool, and cold, green eyes staring intently at them—they had already made them their dinner.
Lu Yuyan's mind was buzzing. If he wasn't killed by the men in black, he was probably going to become food for these wolves.
"Awoo~~" A long howl was the wolf king's cry.
Is it still calling for other wolves? Could it be that it sensed that this group of people was not easy to deal with, so it called for its companions?
Lu Yuyan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and her palms sweat. She grabbed Lu Xiaoyun's hand tightly and said, "Ah, sister, what do we do now? There are too many wolves."
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the wolves, and no one noticed Lu Yuyan's cry of "Sister".
"Don't panic, stay calm, don't be afraid," Lu Xiaoyun comforted her. Although she had never experienced such a scene before, she had fought against tens of thousands of rebels during the palace coup. Now, with Zhu Yu's unparalleled martial arts skills, she was much calmer than Ayan.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen," Zhu Yu reassured him.
Jiang Chuan and Wu Chuan, along with the other guards, immediately shielded their three masters in the center. The guards gripped their knives tightly, ready to deal with the impending attack. A tense atmosphere filled the air, and even breathing became cautious.
Suddenly, the wolves began to howl, their voices deafening. They accelerated towards the group, poised to pounce.
"Watch out!" Lu Xiaoyun shouted, gripping her soft sword tightly, ready to fight.
Zhu Yu followed closely behind, and together with Lu Xiaoyun, they protected Lu Yuyan behind them.
The well-trained guards quickly drew their bows and arrows, calmly aimed at their targets, and fired a series of arrows at the hungry wolves, killing the wolves that pounced on them at their feet.
Many wolves, however, cunningly utilize the terrain, launching fierce attacks on the group in a coordinated team effort. Their eyes are fierce, their teeth sharp, and each pounce carries a deadly threat.
