Chapter 460: Really not stopping? Start the competition

In the northern military camp, candlelight flickered in the main tent.

Ji Qingwu had just finished dinner, but sat at the table with a blank look in his eyes, looking as if he had no appetite.

Just because there was one person missing, she felt that the whole tent was empty, as if it had lost its former vitality.

Ji Qingwu walked to the sandalwood desk where Emperor Wu Su usually sat. She really suspected that the emperor had poisoned her, otherwise why would she be so distracted no matter what she did?

She couldn't help but shrink her shoulders and even felt that the air in the tent had become colder.

Li Yuzong noticed her strangeness and asked with a concerned smile: "Miss Ji, are you feeling cold? I will go get you some clothes right away."

Ji Qingwu was not cold, he just missed the feeling of being buried in someone's arms.

She drooped her eyelids, propped her face with her hands, and said, "No need, Eunuch Li, I'm not cold."

Seeing this, Li Yuzong suggested, "Then I'll accompany you for a walk to help you digest your food?"

Ji Qingwu suddenly became enthusiastic and said loudly: "Okay! Let's go to the camp gate and take a look!"

Li Yuzong sighed and said, "You've been there four times this afternoon."

Ji Qingwu was a little surprised: "So many times?"

After she came back in the afternoon, she felt that everything she did was boring and she ran to the camp gate unconsciously.

Li Yuzong said, "I am not being nosy. Even if Your Majesty has unparalleled martial arts skills, it is impossible for him to have just set out on a campaign last night and come back victorious now. It would take two days to go back and forth."

Ji Qingwu said stubbornly: "I'd better go and take a look." Otherwise, she would not be able to sit still in the house if she had the idea.

Li Yuzong couldn't do anything to her, so the two of them left the tent again. Just as they were about to walk towards the gate, a little wolf came running from a distance.

Its body was pressed tightly against Ji Qingwu, and it kept rubbing against her, as if it wanted to leave its scent on her.

Ji Qingwu thought it was cold, so he rubbed its head and said, "I've built a nest for you, why don't you go and live there?"

Li Yuzong pretended to be fierce and said, "You wild wolf, you only know how to stick to Miss Ji. When the emperor comes back, I will definitely sue you."

Not only did the little wolf ignore him, but he stuck even closer to Ji Qingwu.

Before the smile on Ji Qingwu's lips faded, he saw the soldiers who remained in the camp lined up and Chi Rui walked quickly past them.

A military assembly late at night? You can tell there is something unusual at first glance.

Ji Qingwu stopped him and asked, "Deputy General Chi, what's wrong? What happened?"

When Chi Rui heard her voice, his brows furrowed even more. He cupped his hands and said, "My humble servant greets Miss Ji. A wild beast has appeared near the military camp. I am going to check out the situation. Please stay in the tent and do not come out."

The next moment, Ji Qingwu heard the roar of beasts and the howling of wolves surrounding the camp.

The two groups of beasts were testing each other's presence and strength through roaring.

But soon, the wolf howls were suppressed.

The little wolf at the edge of Ji Qingwu's skirt suddenly bared its fangs, its neck hair exploded into silver spikes, and its dark green eyes stared at the gate. It had sensed danger.

Ji Qingwu looked over and Li Yuzong beside her took a deep breath.

Li Yuzong said sharply: "Miss Ji, please go back to your tent!"

Chi Rui also looked a bit panicked, and said hurriedly: "I will lead the troops over and light torches outside the tent to drive away these beasts. You go back and hide."

Thousands of animal pupils were flickering in the darkness.

Ji Qingwu frowned and looked around. The Northern Border Military Camp should have been surrounded by various beasts.

"Deputy General Chi, these beasts are all poisoned. They are not afraid of torches or swords."

Chi Rui actually thought of this, but he was still hoping that these were just ordinary animals.

Ji Qingwu was clear-headed and said calmly, "These beasts haven't moved yet because the caster hasn't given the order yet."

If she guessed correctly...

The person who performed the spell should be on the way.

Ji Qingwu said: "Deputy General Chi, do not confront these beasts head-on, and do not step out of the barracks. Move around in the inner room."

Chi Rui had no better idea. He would definitely not be able to defeat these ferocious beasts head-on.

He responded, "Yes."

The beasts simply surrounded the camp and did not take any further action.

Ji Qingwu returned to the tent and began to rummage through the luggage she brought with her, and found a slightly wilted herb from it.

Ji Qingwu cried out in pain, as he had neglected to take care of it these days.

"Eunuch Li, please get me some water."

Li Yuzong didn't understand why Ji Qingwu started to tend to the flowers and plants, but he still fetched a basin of water.

Ji Qingwu transplanted the herb into a pot along with the dry soil underneath and carefully watered it.

After half an hour, the herb regained its vitality and its leaves began to become stiff.

Ji Qingwu exhaled and patted his chest.

The howling of wolves outside the tent became more shrill, and the growling of tigers and leopards became louder and more violent.

Ji Qingwu's back stiffened. The roar of a ferocious beast could indeed make people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Yuzong's old legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground. Ji Qingwu helped him up and said, "Eunuch Li, take a break first. I'll go out and take a look."

Li Yuzong said: "How can this be possible? I will accompany you."

But his legs were not as strong as Ji Qingwu's, and she walked away in a short while.

Ji Qingwu trotted to the gate of the military camp. Chi Rui was confronting someone, and the wild beasts were fighting with the wolves.

The wolves were attacked from all sides, and several of them had already fallen in the bloody sand. The wolf king raised his head and let out a long howl, calling on his companions to launch a more fierce attack.

"You're here!" The woman's voice was cold and elegant. Ji Qingwu looked at the woman in the white veil in front of him and said in a cold voice: "Stop them."

Gao Zhaoyue sneered and said, "You order me?"

Ji Qingwu said in a more serious tone: "Stop!"

Gao Zhaoyue's hand drew a strange arc in the air, and he looked at her and said, "Are you the destined daughter of the Emperor of Beili? You are indeed quite pretty."

In the night, the young woman's face is softer than the moon, her eyes are brighter than the stars, and she has an innocent and naive look.

Gao Zhaoyue said sarcastically: "But you are still a girl who hasn't even fully grown her hair. You are so young, but you are too arrogant in front of me!"

Her fingertips moved faster, as if there were invisible threads in her hands, directing the beasts to continue attacking.

Ji Qingwu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you really not going to stop?"

This time, Gao Zhaoyue's expression changed slightly, as if he sensed the unusual aura coming from this woman.

The wolf king, who was surrounded by three tigers and leopards, howled miserably. Ji Qingwu said to the little wolf who was fidgeting, "Go."

Gao Zhaoyue said: "There is no difference between a single wolf and a pack of wolves in my eyes."

Ji Qingwu took a step forward, holding something in his right hand, and suddenly waved it towards Gao Zhaoyue's fingertips.
