Chapter 59: Letting the Tiger Return to the Mountain
The people Shen Yu brought with him were all carefully selected by him. The team included people who were good at tracking, hunting, strategy and other abilities.
It would be extremely difficult for Wen Wan to track down Azhuoxin and others on the prairie alone.
But if this team gathers their strength, they will definitely be able to rescue Winn.
Shen Yu sighed, "Forget it."
In this whole world, there is only one woman who can hold him hostage.
"I promise to rescue him, so you can put down the dagger now. If you use the dagger I gave you against me, you'll be a jerk."
Wen Wan pursed her lips, "What if you don't keep your word?"
"Do you think I would betray you?" Shen Yu sneered, "Believe it or not, even if a dagger is placed on my neck, you will not be able to hurt me as long as I don't want to."
As if to confirm his words, he raised his hand. No one knew what he did, but Wen Wan felt a pain in her wrist and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.
Shen Yu said in a deep voice: "So, remember, I promised you to save him, not because I was forced by you."
If he wasn't coerced, why would he agree?
Wen Wan widened her eyes and looked at him blankly.
However, he had no intention of explaining. He rudely threw Wen Wan onto the horse's back, then turned over and sat behind her, holding the reins and ran back.
The main force was still in the original place, and everyone had almost packed up their things. They didn't seem surprised to see Shen Yu and Wen Wan coming back.
Wen Wan saw their reactions and suddenly understood a lot.
Given the huge disparity in power, she was no match for Shen Yu. No one would doubt this fact, so she didn't have any worries about it.
She suddenly felt a little depressed, but she couldn't describe the feeling.
Like a thriving grass, she originally thought that as long as she worked hard enough, she could support the world. But one day someone told her that she was just a blade of grass, and no matter how hard she tried, she could never grow into a tree that supported the sky.
Under Shen Yu's command, the team broke camp and moved forward.
Unlike yesterday, today everyone was traveling much faster.
Judging from the traces, Azhuoxin's group was heading towards the heart of the grassland.
This general direction is consistent with Shen Yu and his team's destination, so as long as they rescue Wen En as soon as possible, they will not deviate from the direction.
Night comes again.
The wind seemed to be getting colder tonight. Wen Wan sat by the fire wrapped in a blanket, but she still felt shivering from the cold all over.
"Looking at the weather, it might snow heavily tomorrow."
Shen Yu sat down beside her with a pot of milk wine, picking up branches and randomly stirring the bonfire.
Wen Wan was very reluctant to pay attention to him, so she pretended not to hear him.
Shen Yu didn't care and just handed over the milk wine, "Drink a couple of sips to keep warm, otherwise you will be too cold to sleep at night."
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment. Her body was her own, so why should she be so hard on herself?
She took it and took a sip. Sure enough, after the warm wine went down her throat, her body also warmed up.
Shen Yu looked at her deeply and said casually:
"Have you ever considered that even if we can rescue him, he might..."
The words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them out loud.
Wen Wan sniffed and couldn't help but tear up again.
Chen Yu sighed, "Do you know how contradictory the feeling you give people is sometimes? You're obviously very smart and can understand everything, but when it comes to making crucial decisions, you act impulsively."
Wen Wan replied coldly, "That's because I'm a human being! So I can't do something as inhuman as Captain Zhou."
"Finally you scolded me?" Shen Yu was not angry at all.
If she didn't say a few words to her, it would be unlike her.
But after scolding him, Wen Wan turned around and still looked like she didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Shen Yu shook his head and laughed, "Okay, don't be angry. Wen En... will be fine."
Hearing this, Wen Wan turned around and asked suspiciously, "Why are you so sure?"
Shen Yu just smiled and said nothing.
Wen Wan pondered for a moment and made a bold guess, "Did you send someone to follow you?"
She glanced at the busy people and realized that there were indeed about ten people missing from the team.
Shen Yu smiled bitterly, "I'm not a human being, so naturally I won't do human things. But... after all, they are my people of the Duan Dynasty. How can I let them be abducted in front of me? Do you really think I'm just a decoration? I can't bring myself to do that."
After hearing this, Wen Wan changed her previous indifference and wrapped herself in a blanket and piled up next to him.
"Tell me what's going on?"
Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, "Want to know?"
Wen Wan nodded repeatedly, looking eager.
Shen Yu: "I was scolded as not a human being, I was in a bad mood, so I didn't want to say it."
Wen Wan: “…”
A dog man with a chicken heart!
Wen Wan complained in her heart, but had a flattering smile on her face.
As long as it is not a matter of principle, she can theoretically bend and stretch.
"Who was that blind person who scolded you? Captain Zhou is so wise, brave, and handsome. That person must be blind to scold you out of his mind. It's her fault. She's a fool, a white-eyed wolf. She'll get hit by a horse every time she goes out..."
Shen Yu frowned and raised his hand to cover her mouth, "Are you stupid? Just curse me, but why curse yourself?"
Wen Wan blinked and smiled, "Have you forgiven me?"
Shen Yu: “…”
She is indeed a cunning little goblin. She has mastered the tactic of retreating to advance.
"You just take advantage of my kindness and can't bear to let you curse yourself." Shen Yu sighed.
Wen Wan carefully tugged at his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Yes, Captain Zhou is the most kind-hearted man in the world. Then tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Her flattering attitude was obvious, and Shen Yu really fell for it.
He pulled the blanket from her shoulders and half covered himself with it, then said slowly:
"It's actually not that complicated. Speaking of which, the Azhuo family is one of the largest families among the nomadic tribes. They're quite close to the Mobei people. Under normal circumstances, they shouldn't get close to the Duan Dynasty."
Wen Wan nodded, "So they approached the border town for a special purpose?"
Shen Yu frowned, "Yeah. Remember the group of people who set fire to the jewelry store last time?"
Wen Wan was shocked. "Could it be that the group is related to Azhuoxin?"
Chen Yu: "It's hard to say. At that time, the group was either killed by us or committed suicide. In short, no one was left alive. But based on the characteristics of their bones, we infer that they may not be from the Duan Dynasty."
People of every nation have their own unique genetic expression, which is easy to understand from the modern perspective.
Chen Yu continued, "I don't believe that Azhuoxin really came here after the leopards, otherwise the direction they left would not be deep into the hinterland."
Wen Wan understood, but still had one doubt.
"Then why don't you just capture them? You have more people, so it shouldn't be difficult to control them all. Letting the tiger go back to the mountains, wouldn't that make it more difficult?"
