"What... what's going on, Pavilion Master?"
Looking at the dark mass of wolves kneeling before her, Yun Duoduo thought that this must be the scene when her father, the emperor, held court, and all the officials knelt on the ground.
【Master, don't you know?】
The wolf king looked at Yun Duoduo and hesitated as he approached her.
The person wearing the plum blossom hairpin is the Pavilion Master.
[And you smell of perilla.]
The sect leader saved our clan's lives back then, and its descendants have been our masters for generations to come.
Descendants?
But she is a descendant of Yun Beiye and her mother. Could she be related to her father and mother?
only……
Her father, grandmother, and mother never told her about perilla, hairpins, or wolves.
Yun Duoduo remained completely bewildered.
[Wolf King, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?]
However, although she thought these words to herself, she did not say them aloud. If the wolf king realized that it had mistaken her for someone else, it might eat her.
She glanced at the wolf king, wondering if wolves now recognize their masters so casually.
Plum blossom hairpin?
She wasn't wearing any plum blossom hairpins, was she?
Yun Duoduo touched her head in confusion and pulled out her hairpin.
She looked closely at the silver hairpin and saw a plum blossom carved on the square at the top of the hairpin.
Emma, she hadn't even noticed how small the plum blossoms were before.
Are wolves really that intelligent these days?
The Wolf King looked at Yun Duoduo, "Young Master, how is the Old Master now?"
Did she tell you anything when she gave you this perilla sachet and hairpin?
Yun Duoduo looked at the perilla sachet on her waist. She took it off, carefully examined the embroidery on it, and then opened it to look inside.
There were no magic tricks or anything like that.
These perilla sachet and plum blossom hairpin were given to me by Granny Xue. It seems that Granny Xue is the master of the Plum Blossom Pavilion.
It turns out that Granny Xue had been kind to these wolves back then.
But why did she entrust these things to me? Yun Duoduo couldn't quite understand.
He had inexplicably become the successor of the Plum Blossom Pavilion.
"Don't worry, Grandma Xue is fine, she's just a bit old."
"When I last met Grandma Xue, she looked very haggard, but I prescribed her a lot of medicine and she'll recover."
Yun Duoduo comforted the wolf king, but the wolf king did not speak. Two turbid tears seemed to flow from the corners of his eyes. The wolf king howled twice towards the sky.
The wolf pack slowly dispersed, seemingly making way for Yun Duoduo.
"Master, once you cross this Purple Perilla Mountain, you'll see the official road."
[Respectfully seeing off the Pavilion Master.]
The wolf pack behind the wolf king also howled, as if bidding farewell to Yun Duoduo.
"Zisu Mountain, so this mountain is called Zisu Mountain."
"Thanks! I'll bring you some delicious food when I get back to the palace!"
Yun Duoduo happily walked through the wolf pack, preparing to cross the mountain and reach the official road, where she would find her way back.
As she walked forward, Yun Duoduo noticed that several wolves at the back of the pack were limping. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that several wolf cubs had injured their hind legs, especially one whose hind leg was covered in blood and flesh, and it looked like it was in pain.
Seeing that the wolf cubs were somewhat timid, she waved to the one that was most seriously injured.
"Come here, let me see your legs."
Although Yun Duoduo was also anxious to return to the palace, at that moment, for some reason, looking at the injured little wolf, she couldn't bear to leave.
The little wolf hesitated and did not walk to Yun Duoduo's side.
Seeing this, Yun Duoduo walked over to the little wolf and hugged it in her arms: "How did this happen?"
She carefully examined the wound on the wolf cub's leg.
Explosions frequently occur in the mountains; we were unable to dodge in time and were injured by the blasts.
Yun Duoduo looked around and noticed a hole. She reached her hand into the hole and touched it, and sure enough, she found the medicine box.
Open the medicine box and take out iodine, alcohol, a knife, and hemostatic agents.
She held the little wolf in her arms: "Bear with it, it will hurt a little, but as long as it hurts this once, your leg will be fine in a few days, and you will be able to walk as fast as your companions!"
The little wolf gave a low hum, seemingly somewhat disbelieving.
"Wolf King, this is medicine powder. I see that the other wolves are not seriously injured, they just have some scrapes."
"With this medicine powder, you'll be cured in less than three days."
Yun Duoduo placed the medicine powder on the ground, and the wolf king distributed it to the lightly injured wolf cubs.
"I'm about to begin!"
Yun Duoduo held down the little wolf's leg and gently scraped away the rotten flesh.
The wolf cub's body trembled violently, as if in great pain, but it made no sound.
"If it hurts, just yell out. No one will laugh at you."
The little wolf hummed softly twice.
After cleaning the wound on the wolf's leg, Yun Duoduo applied medicine powder and then wrapped it with gauze.
"Okay, don't get it wet for the next few days, and it should be better in less than half a month."
Yun Duoduo patted the little wolf's back and then patted its head.
"Oh, right."
"You just said that there are occasional explosions on Zisu Mountain. Can you take me to see the explosion sites?"
Why are there frequent explosions on Zisu Mountain?
Was it a hunter trying to kill the wolves? Or did something in the mountains undergo a chemical reaction and spontaneously combust?
Yun Duoduo was a little confused. She put the little wolf on the ground and turned to ask the wolf king.
If the cause of this explosion is not clarified, more wolves or people will surely be injured in the future.
...
Jin Jinzhi was on a mission when he received the news and rushed back to the capital at full speed, covering four hundred li. Two of his horses died on the way.
The little girl can't get hurt.
He saved her so many times, so many times, in life-or-death situations. This time, he will definitely save her too.
"Your Highness, the princess was kidnapped in Ghost Forest. Aren't we going to Ghost Forest?"
Cao Canjun followed behind Jin Jinzhi. Because they were moving too fast and couldn't rest, he was now feeling weak in the limbs and his vision was blurry.
As far as he knew, the message they received was that the princess had been taken away by the crown prince of Western Chu in Ghost Forest, but no one knew exactly where she had been taken.
"They were kidnapped in Ghost Forest, but so much time has passed, they must have been taken away."
Jin Jin spurred his horse and galloped away. He turned to Cao Canjun and said...
"The last time I went to Cuixianglou, it was to assassinate Tan Biao's accomplices."
“I vaguely heard that the Crown Prince of Western Chu often went to Cuixiang Tower.”
"Perhaps, Cuixiang Tower is the hideout of the Crown Prince of Western Chu and his cronies."
"It would be too conspicuous for a man to be traveling with a child to find an inn. Going to Cuixianglou is the best choice."
"I guess Duoduo might be nearby."
"So that's how it is."
Cao, the military advisor, seemed to understand somewhat.
"Separately investigate, then meet at the end of Cui Xiang Lou after a cup of tea!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
