Chapter 1771: Unrevealed Fangs
Nan Yan frowned, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she simply pulled down a corner of the cloth wall and looked outside.
When she saw it, she gasped.
They originally thought that the green lights around them were still far away, but now they looked so close. Even in the dim light of the fire, they could see the tall bodies of some wild wolves, and some of them were getting closer.
There was a fishy smell in the air, along with the smell of killing and beasts.
Nan Yan frowned.
When the guard saw that she had seen this, he hurriedly pulled up the yellow cloth and said, "Your Highness, you are pregnant with the dragon fetus. You must not look at these things. If you are frightened, we will have a hard time explaining to the Emperor."
“…”
Nan Yan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as she listened to the low roar in the wind.
She said, "These—are you okay with that?"
The guard bowed his head and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Our duty is to protect Your Majesty. Even if it means risking our lives, we will do so."
At this moment, the soldier's sensitive nature made him look back.
He immediately said, "Your Majesty, please go back and sit down to rest. Leave this to us."
After saying that, he turned and rushed to the other side.
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and watched his back quickly disappear in the dim firelight. At this moment, she heard several guards shouting from the other side: "Be careful, it's coming!"
"Get ready!"
Immediately afterwards, there were several whooshing sounds, which were the sounds of sharp arrows breaking through the air.
Then, a humming sound came from the other side.
Nan Yan's hand holding the yellow cloth trembled slightly. At this moment, a hand reached out from the other side, held her hand, and took her hand away.
Turning around, it was Ran Xiaoyu.
Her expression was solemn, yet resolute, especially the hand that held Nan Yan's. She tightened her grip slightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry."
“…”
"These are the elite soldiers selected by Lord Ying Shao from the imperial guards. It's impossible that they can't even defeat a little beast."
Nan Yan frowned and said, "Of course I know, but tonight - it's a little strange."
As he was speaking, he heard a few low growls of wild wolves in the wind.
When I turned around, I saw that the wolves were running closer.
Of course, those guards would not just sit there and wait to die. Some of them who were good at riding and shooting had already taken out their bows and arrows. They stood about ten feet outside the yellow cloth wall, drawing the strings and watching the wild wolves run into their range.
At the command: "Shoot!"
Suddenly, there were a few sharp whooshing sounds, and the arrows flashed a fleeting cold light, drowning in the dark night. Then, a few howls were heard, and several wild wolves fell to the ground, whimpering.
This wave of attack actually scared away the wolves following closely behind.
However, they still linger.
Closer to the yellow cloth wall, they gradually gathered together, staring at this side with eager eyes.
Nan Yan said: "It's a bit strange indeed."
Ran Xiaoyu asked: "What?"
Nan Yan said, "Everyone knows that wild beasts are afraid of fire. As long as you light a fire in the wilderness, the wild beasts won't dare to come near. But they—look at them. There are so many torches and so many people here, but these beasts are still coming closer, and even actively attacking."
“…”
"And that thing that just broke the wagon wheel."
When this was mentioned, Ran Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and she whispered, "The Queen suspects..."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then said, "Right now, my mind is in a mess. I can't think of anything with the situation outside. But this matter is definitely not ordinary."
“…”
"If that's true, then there are traces of the strangeness of these wolves."
“…”
"I'm just afraid it's more than just a pack of wolves."
Hearing her say this, Ran Xiaoyu frowned and hurriedly pulled down one end of the yellow cloth to look outside.
Apart from the wild wolves outside whose shapes were faintly visible in the firelight, and the green eyes not far away, farther away, there was darkness that had completely merged with the sky and the earth, so deep that even light could not penetrate.
But how much danger is there in such darkness?
The fangs that have not yet been exposed are the most terrifying and hurtful.
Ran Xiaoyu's face was gloomy. After thinking for a while, she let go of the yellow cloth, turned to look at Nan Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Even if someone really plotted against us, your Majesty can rest assured."
“…”
"And the servants."
“…”
"Even though my temper has changed, my fighting skills have not been wasted."
“…”
"If they dare to come up, I will crush their heads!"
Hearing her words, although she was worried, Nan Yan was amused and laughed, then said: "You are right. Even if no one can be trusted, I know that I still have you."
“…”
"You are my strongest support."
When she said this, her expression froze.
Because at this time, in this environment, she somehow remembered the night in the deserted city. That night, Zhu Feng led her to break through the strange formation, and she barely managed to save her life. Later, at the gate of the deserted city, she saw Ran Xiaoyu following her through hardships, and spent a lot of effort to break the eye of the formation. She was extremely happy.
At that time, she rushed over and said to Ran Xiaoyu -
"You are the best person in the world to me!"
Later she recalled that when she said this, she only had Ran Xiaoyu in her heart and eyes, but she vaguely remembered that Zhu Feng's face was not very good at that time.
Now, if he heard this again, I'm afraid there would be another big fuss.
but--
Seeing her expression, Ran Xiaoyu asked, "Is your Majesty thinking about the Emperor again?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly.
Said: "No."
"Your Majesty..."
"Even if I do think of him, I will try to minimize the time I spend thinking about him."
“…”
"I told you to like him less, so the first thing you need to do is to rely on him less."
“…”
"Maybe I can calm down a little."
Ran Xiaoyu didn't say anything else, but helped her walk back to the campfire and sit down. During this time, several sounds of arrows flying through the air were heard outside, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger.
As time passed, the number of attacks by the wolves continued to increase.
Moreover, they were getting closer and closer to here.
Even if Nan Yan didn't walk to the yellow cloth wall, she could still clearly hear the low growls of the wolves in the wind, and see the blood splattering on the yellow cloth, blooming into bloody red flowers.
And the strong smell of blood in the wind,
