Chapter 332 Wan Xingmo in Danger
"Wanquan, you said you left a special mark. What is it? Otherwise, how can we find your footprints? In this vast snowy plain, if we go in the wrong direction, we may be hundreds of miles away."
Before leaving, Anan asked Wanquan.
"Please bring me my battle robe. My things are inside it."
Hongmei quickly took out a bundle that she had put away yesterday and handed it to Wanquan.
Wan Quan nodded in thanks, opened the bundle, rummaged through his armor for a while, and pulled out a medicine bag.
"This is it. I sprinkled it on the road along the way. This is made by our Da Qi using a special method. Even if it is buried several meters underground, a hound can smell it."
Tongrui took it, opened the medicine bag, poured out a pill, put it under her nose and smelled it. There was a faint fragrance, a mixture of agarwood and medicine. Tongrui couldn't smell it all.
However, since these were someone else's secret recipe, she didn't want to look at them for too long. After just one glance, she returned the bag to Wan Quan.
"Anan, give this medicine sac to the hounds to smell so they can remember the smell."
When everything was ready, the team started to move forward.
With the help of the sled, they traveled on the snow effortlessly and covered dozens of miles in half a day.
Tong Rui arranged Wanquan to ride on the same sled with Anan so that Anan could take care of Wanquan.
It was a cloudy day today, and the cold wind made it impossible to open one's eyes, but Tongrui's team was fully equipped, and each of them was covered tightly, with not an inch of skin exposed, and even their eyes were covered with the most precious black veil of their Yue State.
So they walked on the snow for many days without suffering from snow blindness.
"Madam, the hound needs to rest. Shall we stop and rest for half an hour?"
Tong Rui nodded. She was tired of sitting and wanted to come out and stretch her muscles.
The team stopped behind a hillside. The wind here was relatively small, allowing everyone to rest for a while.
Aunt Li took out the dry food she had prepared in the morning and gave each person a steamed bun. Aunt Li wrapped the bun in a quilt with an extra blanket on the outside so it didn't freeze into stones. But if you don't eat it quickly, it will freeze into hard buns that can hurt your teeth.
Everyone swallowed it in a few mouthfuls, even a lady like Tong Rui, who was usually well-mannered, had to swallow it in a few mouthfuls, otherwise she would go hungry.
It’s impossible to make a fire in the ice and snow, and it’s harder than climbing a mountain to get something hot to eat.
Fortunately, they only have one meal a day, lunch.
"Wanquan, how do you feel now? Can you still hold on?"
Tong Rui walked to Wan Quan's sled and saw that Wan Quan's face looked not very good, and a little pale.
"I can, ma'am, don't worry, I will definitely make it."
Wan Quan spoke in a firm tone, as if he was answering Tong Rui's question, or as if he was cheering himself up.
"Madam, it's bad. There seem to be people coming over there. There are about a hundred of them. Judging from their clothes, they look like people from Beiliang. What should we do?"
Ali, who was on duty, rolled down the hillside with a nervous look on his face.
Tong Rui frowned slightly. How could it be such a coincidence? They had been wandering here for so long and had never met anyone from Beiliang. They had never expected to run into one today. It was really as if they feared something.
"Alie, go ahead and find out who the other party is. Everyone else, pack up your things and stay on standby."
Ali turned around and climbed up the hillside, crawling on the ground, watching the group of people coming towards them.
Wan Quan clenched his fists tightly at this time. He was about to succeed. Why did the Beiliang people appear at this time? Damn Beiliang people.
The team was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and no one made a sound. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Ali finally came back.
"Ma'am, they turned the corner and went back from us."
Tong Rui's heart finally settled down. Although she was not very afraid of meeting the Beiliang people, she brought a Daqi person with her. If she met the Beiliang people at this time, she would definitely not be able to explain herself and cause a lot of trouble, and she might even have to fight.
Now we don't have to meet each other, which saves us a lot of trouble.
"We will set off immediately after the Beiliang people leave."
The team waited there for half an hour, but the Beiliang people had already disappeared, so they set off.
The journey was smooth this time, but they still did not reach the place Wanquan mentioned before dark.
"Madam, it's getting dark. It might be dangerous if we continue on this road. Let's find a place to stay, shall we?"
Wan Quan was a little anxious: "Brother Nan, I think we are almost there. Let's walk for another half an hour. If we are not there after half an hour, we will take a rest."
Anan glanced at the sky, a little hesitant. He couldn't make up his mind and looked at Tong Rui.
"Just trust him once and continue on your journey."
The group traveled for another half an hour when they suddenly heard sounds of fighting ahead.
"Ma'am, there is something going on ahead."
Anan stopped the sled first, and all the sleds behind him stopped as well.
"Protect my lady, there is a large group of snow wolves ahead!"
Ali, who went to explore the way ahead, looked very bad. He shouted loudly and fell into a snow pit.
"Alie!" Anan shouted. He saw a snow wolf pouncing towards Ali.
“Sizzle!”
Just as everyone was staring at the snow wolf nervously, the sharp sound of a sword being unsheathed rang in everyone's ears.
Then there was a flash of silver light, and a sword flew out from the sky. The snow wolf that was pouncing towards Ali fell straight into the snow den.
Everyone then came to their senses and found that Wan Quan was holding one of his arms with cold sweat on his head.
"Boy, nice sword!" Anan patted Wanquan's shoulder with gratitude and admiration.
Someone immediately went to rescue Ali.
"Brother Nan, there seem to be people ahead, and many of them died."
"That's my friend."
After hearing this, Wan Quan rushed out regardless of his injuries.
"Stop him quickly!" Tong Rui shouted, but Wan Quan had already rushed out of the crowd.
He was running very fast at this moment. When he passed by the corpse of the snow wolf, he directly drew out the sword and rushed towards the opposite valley. It was too late for Tongrui's people to chase him.
"What are you all standing there for? You must save this person for me. The life of the young lady depends on this person."
Tong Rui also became extremely anxious and started yelling at the servant, completely losing her usual dignity. She was also very angry. If she had known earlier, she would have just knocked the man out and taken him away. Even if she had to use threats or bribes, she would definitely be able to get the whereabouts of Fu Yun from this kid.
Anan shouted, "Kill them." Dozens of people rushed out like arrows.
There was a valley on the opposite side, and they went down very quickly, like dumplings, rolling down one after another.
