"What?" Princess Xin was a little shocked. "Quickly bring me your cloak."
Nanny Xu did not dare to delay and brought the cloak in immediately. Princess Xin confirmed that the cloak was also sprinkled with the powder made of water chestnut grass: "What hatred or grudge does this old lady Baili have against you? Why did she want to harm you like this!"
The mountains are not safe to begin with. If Su Chenyu really wore this cloak, who knows how many wolves would be attracted.
"Where did this brocade bag come from?" Princess Xin asked.
"Someone used this brocade bag to attract wild wolves, and then used a whistle to control the wild wolves to attack me. I killed the wild wolves and escaped." At this point, Su Chenyu asked, "Princess, have you ever seen a wild man?"
"Savage?" Princess Xin was a little puzzled.
Su Chenyu thought that Princess Xin was young and had traveled around with the ghost doctor, so she should have seen it before. But seeing her expression, she knew that she had not seen it before. He described the wild man he met in the mountains to Princess Xin, and Princess Xin's face suddenly darkened after hearing it.
The person described by Su Chenyu reawakened the memories that were sealed deep in her heart.
At that time, she and her father, the ghost doctor, passed by Miaojiang and saved Cen Shuo who was about to be used as a sacrifice. In that dark prison, she saw a mad man chained with iron chains. She will never forget the man whose dirty face she couldn't see clearly, and the faint green light he emitted when he looked at her.
It was the look of someone looking at prey, wanting to tear her apart and swallow her.
Hearing Su Chenyu's description, she thought of that person and couldn't help but get goose bumps.
"The man I met had no mind and could not be controlled by anyone. But the man you met seemed to have a purpose, and his target was you." Princess Xin had a terrifying thought in her mind, "Could it be that this savage was deliberately cultivated by them?"
Thinking of the white bones under the Huguo Temple, Su Chenyu's eyes dimmed. If Chen Shuo was helping Cheng Kong to test the medicine man, then the savages in Tiantian were the result of their continuous testing. Wouldn't that be terrifying?
Why did Xixia produce this kind of medicine in large quantities?
Thinking of this, Su Chenyu couldn't help but tighten her grip on the quilt. Baili Yanqing also thought of what Su Chenyu was thinking and said, "Chenyu, they shouldn't have achieved their goals yet, otherwise Chengkong wouldn't have been defeated like that in the Huguo Temple."
"What about the future?" Su Chenyu asked, "It was not easy for me to deal with that medicine man the other day. What should I do if the soldiers of Dayu are fighting against such medicine men in the future?"
"Chenyu, don't worry." Princess Xin comforted her, "Didn't you kill the medicine man? We'll bring back the body and check it out. With me here, we may be able to find a way to crack it."
Su Chenyu knew that she was getting a little impatient: "Then let's go and bring back the medicine man's body first."
The matter was of great importance, and Su Chenyu had no time to rest, so he took them back to the mountains again. Looking at the corpses of wolves on the ground, Baili Yanqing was silent. He couldn't imagine what Su Chenyu had to face alone!
"Let's take the bodies of these wild wolves back as well." Su Chenyu saw that Baili Yanqing was in a bad mood and deliberately teased him, "These are all my prey, you are not allowed to snatch them from me."
"I understand. I won't compete with you for it." Baili Yanqing tried hard to make himself laugh.
Princess Xin checked the body and asked, "We will take the body back directly. Should we inform the emperor?"
"Not for now." Su Chenyu knew that with Emperor Jing of Wei's temperament, he would never believe that this dead medicine man had such a great killing power. Instead, he would blame them for making a fuss out of nothing.
Nanny Xu said, "Princess Xin, you and Zhu Yi should take the medicine man's body down the mountain first, and we will clean up the bodies of the wild wolves."
Princess Xin nodded, and she and Zhu Yi went down the mountain first with the medicine man's body.
Madam Xu instructed Wutong and Gingko to collect the bodies of the wild wolves. Baili Yanqing looked at the dozens of wild wolf bodies and asked, "Do you suspect that the person controlling the wild wolves is an insider from Xixia?"
Su Chenyu nodded: "I will ask the secret guards to check who Song Qingxuan has had contact with since arriving in Yanshan."
For some reason, a depressed mood lingered in her heart. She was afraid that this hunting trip would not go smoothly.
