Chapter 532 These wolves won’t tear you apart
"What should we do?" Seeing that Yuan Xiaonian hadn't spoken, Bai Yu'an thought he was reluctant and tried to say, "How about... send them to a nearby clinic to recuperate first, and wait..."
Yuan Xiaonian looked over coldly, "Is this what Second Young Master Bai really thinks?"
Of course not, but Bai Yu'an did not answer this question. He didn't have much contact with Yuan Xiaonian, so he had to test Yuan Xiaonian's temper before deciding how to get along with him in the future.
Yuan Xiaonian didn't wait for him to speak again. He turned around and ordered the captain of the guard, Xiao Jingwen, "Use my carriage to take those who can't walk to get medical treatment. The rest of you, continue on your way."
"Continue on your journey?" Xiao Jingwen clearly felt something was amiss. "Second Prince, we only have less than ten people left."
"Don't make me repeat myself a second time!" Yuan Xiaonian didn't explain anything. He turned and walked towards his carriage, ready to get his things. He shouted, "Master Imperial Master, I'll have to trouble you to share a carriage with me for the rest of the journey."
"No problem." Bai Yu'an responded. Seeing Xiao Jingwen still standing there, he explained helplessly, "Let's do as the Second Prince said. Those people... are obviously coming for the guards. Even if we wait for everyone to recover from their injuries, I'm afraid they will still attack the guards halfway through the journey."
Xiao Jingwen vaguely understood that these people wanted to reduce their guards before they entered Dongchu.
"Okay, I'll do it right away." He didn't hesitate any longer and quickly arranged everyone according to Yuan Xiaonian's instructions.
The entire convoy was delayed for about an hour before finally getting on the road again.
Li Suining felt the carriage start to move again and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He said with some lingering fear, "They will probably attack us on the road again."
"Can't you see?" Fuxing had just felt strange. When the incident happened, the little girl was obviously scared, as if she didn't know about it in advance. But didn't Li Suining know how to observe the stars? Why didn't he know these things?
"Huh?" Little Tuanzi was stunned for a moment before she understood what Fuxing meant. She didn't want her sister Fuxing to blame herself, so she lied, "I was too tired yesterday and fell asleep early. I didn't look at the stars."
She was afraid that Sister Fuxing wouldn't believe her, so she added quietly, "Everything was fine a few days ago, and I thought it would be fine today too, but I didn't expect them to do it."
Obviously, Fuxing quickly accepted this explanation, and she really didn't seem to notice Li Suining going to watch the stars these few nights.
However, Shangguan Jinglan was obviously very anxious. They had only been on the move for three days when she couldn't help but take action. She was really impatient.
Because the formation of the canyon was delayed, the convoy did not reach the next town after dark and had to choose to rest in the suburbs for one night.
Fortunately, there was a carriage, and it was spacious enough for Li Suining and Fuxing to rest comfortably.
Before going to sleep, Fuxing couldn't help asking, "Li Suining, don't you go out to see the stars?"
Xiao Suining had just laid down when she pretended to yawn. She turned her back to Fuxing and said vaguely, "Forget it. I won't watch it anymore. They probably won't attack us again tomorrow."
Fuxing's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just felt that something was wrong with Li Suining.
She lay down for a while, but felt unable to sleep, so she secretly got off the carriage. As a result, she saw Bai Yu'an wandering around the carriage, apparently on duty.
She hesitated for a moment, considering whether to return to the carriage.
"Miss Fuxing." Unexpectedly, Bai Yu'an spotted her at this moment, stepped forward and whispered, "Are you tired after sitting in the carriage all day? Come get off and take a walk."
Fuxing didn't move.
Bai Yu'an chuckled, "Don't worry, if you find me an eyesore, I'll go over there. But you can't leave my sight. There might be wild wolves in this area."
He smiled, waved to Fuxing, and turned away.
Fuxing hesitated for a while, but finally jumped off the carriage.
Indeed, although the carriage was spacious and Xiao Suining could jump and run around in it just like at home, it was still quite tiring for her to sit all the time.
She got off the carriage and saw Bai Yu'an strolling not far away, so she took a walk nearby as well.
Suddenly, Fuxing heard footsteps behind her, and she immediately looked back nervously.
"I'm sorry, did I scare you?" Bai Yu'an stopped right where he was, smiled bitterly, and explained, "You walked a little far away. If you were any further, I wouldn't be able to see you."
Under the moonlight, Fuxing was not wearing a hood, and her beautiful face seemed to be glowing under the moonlight.
She looked at Bai Yu'an in silence, as if waiting for Bai Yu'an to leave on his own.
"Also," Bai Yu'an continued, "I want to apologize to you for what happened that day... Although I don't know what you really think, I can be sure that I did make you uncomfortable, and very uncomfortable, so I am willing to apologize to you."
Fuxing's expression changed, and then she raised her hand, as if pointing behind Bai Yu'an.
"Okay, if you still want me to leave, I will leave immediately." Bai Yu'an took a step back helplessly.
"No." Fuxing suddenly spoke, his voice a little anxious, and his body subconsciously leaned forward a little, "I asked you to look behind you."
Almost in an instant, Bai Yu'an's whole body was alarmed and all the hairs on his back stood up.
He didn't dare to make any big movements. He walked up to Fuxing little by little, then turned around slowly. He saw a pair of green eyes about ten meters away from them. They were obviously wolves.
Bai Yu'an swallowed nervously.
He forced himself to calm down, looked at how many wolves were in the pack, and then confirmed the distance between the pack and them and the camp.
"I have to lure the wolf away." He said to Fuxing in a low voice.
Fuxing frowned, "How are you going to lead it?"
Bai Yu'an slowly placed his hands on his waist, and soon he pulled out a dagger and pretended to cut his wrists.
"What are you doing?" Fuxing grabbed his hand and looked over in horror.
Bai Yu'an suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't die. I need to bleed a little more to lure them away. When you find the right opportunity, run back to the camp."
"What happens after we lead them away?" Fuxing asked anxiously, not letting go. "By then, after you've shed so much blood, will you still be able to deal with these wolves? Won't they... tear you apart?"
Bai Yu'an looked at her seriously, "You...are you concerned about me?"
"We haven't reached Dongchu yet. We can't lose a general so soon." Fuxing said as he reached out to take the dagger from Bai Yu'an's hand, "Give me the dagger, I'll lead them away."
Bai Yu'an naturally wouldn't let go, "No!"
