Now, he decided to try the method in the book himself. He carefully took out the clay xun he carried with him. He gently placed it to his lips, closed his eyes, and began to play.
A melodious melody drifted slowly through the night sky, like a spring breeze sweeping across the earth, awakening all that slumbered. The wolves had been roaming around beneath the trees, but as the sound of the ocarina swelled, their movements gradually slowed, as if drawn by the music's magic.
Seeing this, Gu Nanji's heartbeat quickened, but he remained calm and continued to guide the wolves with the sound of the pottery flute. His fingers danced lightly and accurately in the air, as if playing an invisible melody.
Gradually, the wolves' movements became more coordinated. They formed a circle and slowly approached Gu Nanji and the other man. Gu Nanji's eyes flashed with determination. He knew that victory was just around the corner.
Finally, all the wolves came under Gu Nanjie. They lowered their heads and put their ears on their backs, as if showing goodwill to Gu Nanjie.
Among them there was a very strong one, who looked like the leader of the pack.
Gu Nanji took a deep breath, calmed himself, and played the melodious animal-taming song again. His fingers danced on the clay flute, and every note was filled with power and emotion.
The leader wolf seemed to sense the meaning of Gu Nanji's music. It stopped and looked at Gu Nanji. Gu Nanji continued to play, and the leader wolf ran away uncontrollably with the pack.
Gu Nanji was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the song would be so useful!
Seeing that the wolves had run away, he slowly put away the clay flute, took a deep breath of fresh air, and pushed Murong Jinyi, "Wake up, the wolves have run away."
Murong Jinyi was woken up, "Ah?"
"Don't sleep anymore. Let's hurry back to the camp in case the wolves come back!" Gu Nanji moved quickly, climbed down the tree, and stretched out a hand. "Come, I'll catch you."
"Don't look down on others. If you can do it, so can I!" Murong Jinyi also climbed down the tree with a swift movement.
Gu Nanji withdrew his hand. The two of them looked at the wild wolves they had killed on the ground without saying a word. Murong Jinyi suggested, "We have to hurry."
Gu Nanji also felt that the wolves might come back. He whistled, and saw his white horse and Murong Jinyi's chestnut horse running towards them.
The white horse was also smart. As soon as it heard the movement of the wolves, it ran away with the chestnut horse. When it heard Gu Nanji calling it, it naturally ran over happily.
"You horse is really smart. You can even take my Xiaohong with you when you run." Murong Jinyi touched his chestnut horse.
"On the battlefield, things change rapidly. If it weren't smart, it would have died a thousand times." Gu Nanji touched his white horse lovingly.
"Okay, let's go!" Gu Nanji got on the horse.
Murong Jinyi looked at his receding back with mixed emotions.
Back at the camp, the two of them went back to their respective tents.
"Sister, you are finally back. We heard the howling of wolves. It sounded like a large group of wolves. I have been begging Lieutenant General Wu to lead troops to rescue us, but I didn't expect you to come back on your own." Murong Guiyi stepped forward.
"Can the sound travel so far?" Murong Jinyi was surprised.
"No, we two were following you secretly. We were quite far away from you. We heard the howling of wolves from behind, so I crawled over and saw a large group of wolves. I was so scared that I had to come back quickly and ask Lieutenant General Wu to help us." Murong Shanguan said.
"Then why didn't I see any movement?" Murong Jinyi asked.
"Deputy General Wu said that without Gu Nanji's order, no one can mobilize troops or leave their post without permission." Murong Guiyi sighed.
"We were just planning to go back and rescue you two, but we didn't expect you two to come back first." Murong Shanguan said.
Murong Jinyi thought again of the gray wolf that Gu Nanji helped her block. She looked at Gu Nanji's tent with complicated emotions in her eyes.
Would such a person really kill their father?
Wu Yuanlou reported the situation in Gu Nanji's tent, "Brother Murong, let me dispatch troops to rescue the general and Murong Jinyi."
"You didn't hear it?" Gu Nanji asked after taking a sip of water.
"No, the general said that no one can deploy troops without your order, so although I was anxious, I didn't listen," Wu Yuanlou explained.
"Well, well done." Gu Nanji patted his shoulder.
"General, why don't you explain to the Murong siblings that it was not you who killed Murong Tianqi?" Wu Yuanlou asked.
"Walls have ears. We are not the only ones in the army." Gu Nanji said in a low voice.
"Besides, it seems normal for her to seek revenge on me, and this way others will believe that Murong Tianqi is really dead." Gu Nanji replied.
Wu Yuanlou didn't say anything after hearing this.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go back first." Gu Nanji was sleepy and wanted to rest for a while.
Wu Yuanlou stepped out, looked up at the sky and sighed.
After all, this world is not the Gu family's world, and there are still many concerns.
