He rode forward, shouting desperately, but there was nothing else here except the sound of the wind and the occasional bird calls.
They had already run out of the control of the royal hunting ground. There might be wild beasts lurking here. If Xingnan really encountered a wild beast, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.
It was too late to go back and inform everyone to look for him, so he could only go alone and look for him in the direction Xingnan ran.
"Princess Xingnan?"
"Princess Xingnan..."
He searched and shouted along the way, and his shouts finally reached Xingnan's ears half an hour later. She bent down and hid behind a bush. She had been searching for a long time but didn't even see the shadow of a rabbit. Why not scare him when he comes over later, and see if he dares to disobey her again in the future?
As she thought of this, the corners of her mouth almost stretched to the sky.
"hiss!"
There was a sound of horses neighing, she frowned and stretched out her finger.
"Don't make any noise, or he'll find out."
When she said this, her eyes looked in the direction of the horse. It didn't matter that she looked, but she was frightened and immediately broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead.
It turned out that her horse had been surrounded by several wolves, and a large number of wolves were moving towards the horse.
Looking at the dense and fierce group of people rushing towards the horse, she felt her scalp tingling and her legs going weak. She sat on the ground in fear. Just as she was about to shout, her mouth was covered by something and she could not move.
She thought a wolf must have bitten her, and she fainted from fright. Xiao Ningzi beside her hurriedly picked her up and ran silently towards where her horse was.
He knew that if they were discovered by the wolves at this moment, none of them would be able to leave here alive. They might even become prey to the wolves and end up with nothing left.
The scene was too bloody and Xiao Ningzi didn't dare to think about it too much.
At this moment, he didn't care about the difference between men and women, and the only thing in his mind was to escape.
When he climbed onto the horse's back holding Princess Xingnan, the wolves seemed startled by the movement on his side. One wolf glanced in his direction and howled "Woo". Seeing this, the other wolves all looked towards him.
Xiao Ningzi suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He didn't dare to stay for a moment. He settled Xingnan in front of him, quickly tightened the horse's reins, and rode away.
Hearing the sound of galloping horses, the wolves suddenly rushed towards them excitedly. Xingnan slowly opened her eyes due to the shaking of the horse's back. When she found herself crawling sideways on the horse's back, she was about to scream when she saw the wolves chasing after her from behind. She couldn't tell where she was at all, so she started to scream.
"Ah! Wolves, so many wolves, help!"
While shouting, she flapped her hands vigorously, and Xiao Ningzi and the horse lost their balance in an instant...
"hiss……"
The horse may have been frightened by the wolves chasing behind it, so it immediately raised its front hooves and roared loudly. Xingnan lost her balance and fell to the ground. Xiao Ningzi was quick-witted and pulled her up with one hand when the wolves were about to rush over, pressed her in front of him, and continued to ride forward.
Xingnan's heart was already beating out of her throat. Her face flushed red, and she wanted to look back in shock, but Xiao Ningzi held her head tightly.
"Don't move if you want to live."
He yelled at her in an extremely harsh voice, but Xingnan lost her temper at this time. She knew clearly that if Xiao Ningzi had not saved her just now, she would have become lunch for those wolves.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She bit her lips tightly, listened to her own heartbeat, stared straight ahead, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and prayed silently, hoping that they could escape.
She also felt a little regretful at this moment. She regretted that she shouldn't have been willful and that she shouldn't have thought of teasing Xiao Ningzi. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been imprisoned...
After an unknown amount of time, the horse's front hooves suddenly gave way and it fell to its knees. Xiao Ningzi quickly tightened the reins...
Confused, Xingnan was about to turn around and ask him what to do when he saw him dismount and collapse on the ground.
When Xingnan looked back, she found that the wolves chasing them had disappeared. She then climbed down from the horse with peace of mind, sat next to Xiao Ningzi, and breathed heavily.
The horse, having just experienced life and death, was so tired that it lay down in front of them, closed its eyes weakly and rested.
The man and the horse were exhausted. Xingnan looked at the pale-faced Xiao Ningzi, biting his lip and whispered:
"Master Ning, I'm sorry. I didn't expect to encounter a pack of wolves. I almost killed you."
Xiao Ningzi panted and shook his head, waving his hands weakly.
"As long as you are okay, otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the emperor when I go back."
"Master Ning, are you angry?"
"No……"
"Then why don't you blame me? I almost hurt you. I'm sorry!"
Xiao Ningzi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't say sorry. You are a distinguished guest of the Daning Kingdom. How dare I blame you? I can only blame myself for not protecting you well. If anything happened to you, I would not be able to live anymore."
"Just now...thank you for saving me."
"I didn't do that to save you. I did that to save myself. If you were killed by the wolf, I wouldn't be able to survive if I went back."
Seeing that Xiao Ningzi was ignoring him, Xingnan pursed his lips, feeling guilty, and raised his hand to shake his arm.
"I just wanted to tease you. I didn't expect to encounter a pack of wolves. Lord Ning, please don't be angry. I promise I won't make you angry again, okay?"
