Chapter 237 An unexpected event
Just take it off and show it to everyone?
Wen En's heart was pounding, but the person who said this was Wen Wan. Not to mention just taking off the mask, he would do it even if it cost him his life.
So, everyone saw the man known as the Prince of Mobei obediently walk in front of the petite woman.
Because of the height difference, the man considerately bent down slightly to allow the woman to remove his mask more easily.
"Don't be afraid."
After getting closer, Wenwan gently returned the comfort of these two words to him.
Winn lowered his brows and said "hmm".
Wenwan held his mask and gently took it off.
After not seeing him for a long time, his facial features under the mask have not changed, except that his skin is a little darker than before, but it is not exaggerated. Instead, it has a healthy wheat-colored beauty.
Wen Wan played with the mask and looked up at the person who had said that he had seen Prince Mobei.
"Take a closer look, is he the Prince of Mobei?"
The man walked up and took a closer look. He seemed worried and touched Wen En's chin with his hand.
After confirming this, he said in a deep voice, "I checked, he's not wearing a mask. And his face is indeed completely different from the portrait of the Mobei Prince."
As soon as these words came out, Azhuoxin's expression immediately became distorted.
Others were discussing in low voices.
"I don't think so. The Mobei prince is now a very popular and powerful figure in the royal court. Let alone going deep into the heart of our Duan Dynasty, even if he wants to enter the territory of Duan Dynasty, there are many people who will make the trip for him. There is no need for him to take the risk himself."
"Yes, and I heard that Yu Qiting is cruel and violent. He doesn't seem like someone who would be kind and dote on a young lady. It really doesn't match up."
"I think this is a scheme by the treacherous people to sow discord."
"Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. This traitor is not satisfied with plotting to make us kill each other, he even wants to sow discord. He deserves to be killed!"
King Anding was not vague either. He immediately took advantage of the situation, shouted loudly, and led everyone to kill Azhuoxin.
Azhuoxin was shouting something, but no matter what he said, no one believed him anymore.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Azhuoxin was so angry that his eyes turned red. He escaped into one of the passages under the protection of his followers.
Wen En hesitated for a moment and said to Wen Wan, "Sister, you stay here. I will come to you after I deal with Azhuo Xin."
He was a little worried about Wen Wan, so he glanced at the people accompanying him. His eyes moved past Min Zi and pointed at a tall and strong young man behind him.
"You stay here and protect her. If she loses even a hair, you will kill yourself!"
"Yes." The man nodded in response.
Winn grabbed Minz and said, "Come with me and chase him!"
Minz's eyes flashed, he responded, and left with Winn.
Wen Wan looked up and saw a group of people chasing into the cave one after another.
In less than a moment, there were only a few people left on the mass grave, including the guards left by Wen Wan and Wen En, and a few people who were injured and unable to move.
They kept their distance from each other and no one showed any interest in chatting with the others.
While waiting, Wen Wan observed the surrounding environment.
The terrain of this mass grave is peculiar. Behind it is a high mountain with a cave, and in front is a stretch of dense forest. The forest is messy and it is impossible to find a way out. No one knows what is behind the dense forest.
The weather in the mountains is changeable. There was some sunshine a moment ago, but in just a few minutes it was covered with dark clouds.
The sky is gloomy, as if a heavy rain will come soon.
A mass grave is an extremely creepy place in itself, and coupled with the strange weather at this time, it makes people even more frightened.
The injured people, perhaps due to excessive blood loss, began to roar and scream wildly, sometimes saying there were ghosts and sometimes monsters, and it was very noisy.
Although Wen Wan is quite courageous, she can't help but feel a little impatient in this situation.
She kept looking at the passage where the prince and Winn left.
The entrance to the passage was quiet, without a sound at all.
Suddenly, a wolf howled from the dense forest. The low roar, accompanied by the rumbling thunder from above the clouds, frightened everyone present and made them shudder.
Wen En's guards were also carefully selected. Seeing this, they began to collect firewood around.
"It's getting dark. I'll gather some wood and start a fire before the wolves come."
Wen Wan responded, but her brows were still tightly knitted. "I'm afraid, the rain is falling too fast..."
It is said that good things don't work, but bad things do. Before Wen Wan could finish her words, a bean-sized raindrop hit the tip of her nose.
Finished!
The wolves must have been attracted by the corpses and blood. If they couldn't make a campfire, they would become prey to the wolves.
"What should we do?" the guard asked worriedly.
Wen Wan glanced at the mountains behind her and said, "We can only hide in the cave."
The guard was still a little hesitant, "But the mechanism in the cave..."
Wen Wan pursed her lips and said, "Let's choose a passage with life. As long as we don't go too deep, the risk will be much smaller."
She had calculated before that there was life in the directions of Qian Gua and Li Gua. Qian Gua was the passage they entered, and its mechanism had been modified. The passage in the direction of Li Gua should still be safe.
The rain got heavier and heavier, and the ground was soaked in an instant.
Wen Wan shouted to the seriously injured people, signaling them to follow her into the cave, and then she retreated into the cave under the escort of the guards.
The injured people became more sober after being drenched by the rain, and they supported each other and followed in.
The passage is very narrow. When people outside go in, people inside have to move back.
Wen Wan calculated the distance and found that it was only seven or eight meters away from the entrance of the passage. She could barely see the light from the entrance.
"Miss, you can't go any further," said the guard.
"Yeah." Wen Wan also understood, so she leaned lightly against the stone wall and stopped moving.
In the narrow passage, with so many people around, air has difficulty circulating, and the smell of blood mixed in the air makes Wen Wan's stomach churn.
Her face gradually turned pale, and she bent over and retched, holding onto the stone wall.
The guard became anxious upon seeing this. He hurriedly reached for the kettle hanging on his waist, but his hand was empty. He looked around and saw that the kettle had fallen on the ground in front of him.
"Wait a moment, young lady. I'll be right back."
It was only five or six steps away. The guard squeezed through the gap between the other people and turned back in just a moment.
But when he returned to the original place, he found that Wen Wan was no longer standing where she had been standing before.
"Miss?"
The guard was so frightened that he almost lost his soul and could not speak clearly.
"girl!"
The guard shouted a few more times into the depths of the passage.
But in the dark cave, apart from a few echoes, there was no sound at all.
A living person just disappeared like that!
The guard's scalp went numb and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
The panicked guard didn't notice that a figure had already approached behind him.
Before the guard could react, his throat was pierced by a sword from behind. When he died, he was still looking forward with his empty eyes open.
