If he selfishly sent Chu Weiyue back, would she be angry and embarrassed?
At this moment, his subordinates suddenly came to report.
"Your Majesty, there is someone on horseback chasing us quietly. Should we capture him now?"
Wen Jingchi frowned slightly: "It's absurd that someone dares to follow us. Catch him immediately."
Chu Weiyue originally thought that he was hiding well, but who would have thought that he was surrounded in less than a moment.
Everyone here recognized Chu Weiyue, and when they saw it was her, they were all stunned.
Chu Weiyue's anger reached its peak. This abominable Wen Jingchi not only secretly sent her back, but also dared to send people to arrest her. He was so bold!
She ran over angrily, and the moment she saw Wen Jingchi, she kicked him hard.
“Wen Jingchi, you’re going too far. Why did you want to throw me away? What on earth were you thinking?”
Wen Jingchi tried to explain, but Chu Weiyue waved his fist and punched him hard several times, not wanting to listen to his explanation at all.
"I don't want to hear anything. I just want to fight alongside you. Even if I die, I want to die with you. Don't even think about getting rid of me. Don't even think about it in this life."
She grabbed Wen Jingchi's clothes tightly, her eyes full of stubbornness and seriousness.
Looking into her eyes, Wen Jingchi felt touched and nothing else in his heart, and he hugged Chu Weiyue tightly.
"Then do you know that this journey is full of dangers and you may very well lose your life? Is it worth it for me?"
He also didn't know when Chu Weiyue had become the most important person in his life.
Now he only hoped that if anything happened to him, she would be able to live the rest of her life well, so how could he possibly drag her down.
But these words made Chu Weiyue sigh deeply, and he pushed Wen Jingchi away, with fire burning in his eyes.
"Wen Jingchi, who do you think I am? If you think of me as your wife, you should share the joys and sorrows with me, instead of bearing all the pain by yourself. This is not loving a person, but a selfish act. Do you understand?"
Staring at him coldly, Chu Weiyue sat down by the campfire, picked up the chicken leg and slowly began to eat it.
Wen Jingchi tried to get closer, but Chu Weiyue took the chicken leg and went to the other side, not wanting to pay any attention to him.
Wen Jingchi brought her some water, but Chu Weiyue ignored him and fell into a unilateral cold war.
Wen Jingchi sat down next to the campfire, his face covered in dust, and an attendant immediately came up to him.
"Your Highness, this woman is easy to coax. Why don't you go and say a few nice words to her and coax her into calming down? She will surely calm down."
Wen Jingchi glared at him coldly, and his subordinate bit his lip and dared not say a word.
But his words lingered in Wen Jingchi's mind, and he thought it was a good idea.
Before I could find Chu Weiyue, I suddenly heard a roar.
This made Wen Jingchi frown tightly and his hair stood on end.
"Oh no! The beast is coming."
He immediately ran to Chu Weiyue's side and protected her behind him: "Don't act rashly, it sounds like a pack of bears."
"But bears don't usually act alone. How could they travel in groups?" Chu Weiyue asked in some confusion.
According to common sense, they usually act alone and it is impossible for them to gather together in a large group.
A subordinate nearby sighed helplessly: "There are exceptions to everything. I've heard that bears here gather in groups every full moon night. Now it's the harem season, so it's not surprising. Judging from the sound, there should be dozens of bears."
Chu Weiyue gasped, she was well aware of the bear's fighting ability.
They all had knives, but the bears' skin had a thick stratum corneum, and their swords might not have had enough power to penetrate their muscles.
If you get hit by their claws, you will probably be crippled even if you don't die.
"With so many bears, it's useless for us to fight them head-on. Besides, we are just the vanguard and the main force is still in the rear." Chu Weiyue reminded worriedly.
Wen Jingchi naturally knew what she said, but the situation was already like this and they had no other choice but to fight these bears to the death.
Suddenly, Chu Weiyue thought of a prescription he had read in an ancient book.
"I've got an idea. These bears seem to be afraid of a kind of powder called stinking camphor wood. I happen to have some on me for insect repellent. We can use this to keep them away."
Upon hearing this, his men slapped their thighs without hesitation.
"We also have a lot of stinking camphorwood powder. It can prevent mosquito bites over there, and it can also drive away snakes. We brought a lot, and I will send someone to get it now."
Chu Weiyue was not sure whether this smelly camphor wood powder would work on bears.
She remembered that there was another recipe in the ancient book.
I took a look around and found many unknown wild flowers.
This wild flower seems to be able to temporarily confuse people's minds, but the dosage must be sufficient.
There are wild flowers all over the mountains and fields here, which can play a certain role for the bears.
"Let's quickly pick more wild flowers to block the bear's path, and then we'll move forward. As long as we pass this hill, we should be fine."
Chu Weiyue knew very well that these bear groups had their own special territories, and as long as they passed the hill, they would reach a bustling market.
If they leave overnight, they will surely be safe.
Wen Jingchi asked the army to be ready to set off at any time. They were only the vanguard, about a hundred people, so it was easier for them to march.
In addition, the majority of the troops are in the rear, and it is estimated that they will not cross the mountain until tomorrow during the day, which will just miss these bears. These bears are unlikely to appear in broad daylight.
The soldiers brought some stinking camphorwood powder and, under Chu Weiyue's orders, picked a lot of white wild flowers and piled them together.
At this moment, a leading brown bear rushed directly to their side.
Wen Jingchi's men grabbed a handful of stinky camphorwood powder and sprinkled it at the bear.
The pungent smell made the brown bear retreat again and again.
Chu Weiyue threw the flowers in front of the bear.
The brown bear seemed to be afraid of the powder and the flowers, and continued to take a few steps back.
Chu Weiyue smiled with satisfaction: "Great, they are really afraid of these flowers and medicinal powders. Let's leave here quickly. As long as we miss this hill, they will stop chasing us."
Wen Jingchi took Chu Weiyue onto the carriage, and the other soldiers took medicinal powder and wild flowers and confronted the bears.
They still held torches in their hands and almost retreated backwards.
The bears followed them all the way over the hill.
Although Chu Weiyue was sitting in the carriage, he was still uneasy and stuck his head out to look back.
"Don't worry, it'll be okay."
Wen Jingchi held Chu Weiyue tightly in his arms. He never put down the sword in his hand, as if he was ready to fight at any time.
Chu Weiyue's heart was beating wildly and she bit her lower lip tightly. She didn't even know what would happen next.
