Shen Youying looked up at the cliff in front of her: "But how are we going to get over there?"
Xue Shen pointed to the map: "There is another small road about two or three miles away from this place, but it is not easy for a carriage to travel through it."
Shen Youying understood his implied meaning and did not insist on following him: "Then I will wait for you outside."
Xue Shen nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "If I go into the mountains, I don't know when I'll be able to come out. After sunset, I'll have the guards take you back to the Azha tribe. With the guards there, no one else will dare to do anything. Just tell them that I saw a white wolf king in the mountains, and that I was driven by hunting instincts and chased the wolf king into the deep mountains."
This was a good way to avoid suspicion, and Shen Youying nodded in agreement. The group then turned around and headed down another path.
The road was indeed as narrow as Xue Shen had described; calling it a road was a stretch, it was more like a narrow cliff that was barely passable.
Xue Shen selected ten skilled fighters to accompany him, leaving the rest to Shen Youying.
"You can stay in the tribe and wait for me. I'll come back as soon as I have news."
Suppressing her worries, Shen Youying smiled and nodded, watching him lead his men up the steep, narrow path into the mountains.
Following Xue Shen's instructions, she waited until sunset before leisurely returning to the Azha tribe with her guards.
The old man in charge of greeting guests was surprised to see that she had returned alone. He went up to her with a look of astonishment and asked in Tibetan, "Why didn't you return, sir?"
Shen Youying was a woman from the Central Plains and naturally did not speak Tibetan. She first answered in the official language of the Great Wei Dynasty. When she saw the old man's puzzled expression, she seemed to realize belatedly that he did not understand the official language of the Great Wei Dynasty. Only then did she summon a Tibetan guard and signal him to help translate.
"We actually encountered the White Wolf King?"
The old man looked even more surprised and shook his head in disagreement, saying, "This mountain range stretches for dozens of miles. If we get lost while chasing the wolf king, it could be dangerous."
After hearing the guard relay the old man's words, Shen Youying smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, my husband is an expert hunter. He will bring the White Wolf King back."
