Yun Duoduo sat on the pig's back, and the little pig grunted as it walked forward.
[There's something delicious to eat; this older sister said she'd bring me some delicious food...]
Yun Duoduo successfully promised the pig a big reward, getting it to lead her out of the mountains.
...
Cao Canjun followed the pond to the river, poked the water with a long tree branch, and then climbed up the tree to observe his surroundings.
He confirmed that the princess had not fallen into the river, as there was no trace of her in the river.
He didn't know whether to be happy or to sigh and feel sad.
Cao Canjun threw away the tree branch in his hand, hung his head, and walked to the foot of Zisu Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, he saw nothing.
Now things are really messed up; not only is the princess in the wolf's den, but the prince is in there too.
He paced back and forth at the foot of the mountain, looking at the other side, hesitating whether to go in and find the two.
Should we go in now, or wait for the archers to arrive?
Military Advisor Cao hesitated.
Suddenly, he saw something pink and white rushing towards him.
"What?! What is this thing?!"
Cao Canjun suddenly jumped back, dodging the unidentified object rushing towards him.
"This is... a pig?!"
After Cao Canjun saw what was in front of him clearly, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, and his finger pointing at the pig trembled slightly.
"How come there's a... pig here?"
"Hmm... Hmm..."
The pig looked very tired, panting heavily, its snout twitching. After smelling the scent on Cao Canjun, it took two steps back in disgust.
"This is outrageous! Even a pig dares to treat me like this now!"
Cao Canjun's knee, which had been bumped by the pig, was now in great pain.
"Military Advisor Cao, I'm back!"
Yun Duo's voice was sweet, and only then did Cao Canjun notice the princess riding on the pig, and felt a chill run down his spine.
He rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Princess, did you ride a boar out of Wolf Mountain?"
[They really can come and go as they please...]
"Princess... Princess..."
"The princess is still alive?"
"What's wrong? Judging from your expression, you don't seem happy that I, the princess, am still alive."
Yun Duoduo frowned as she looked at him.
"Military Advisor Cao, it's only been a few days, why is your face even blacker than the bottom of a pot?"
Yun Duoduo noticed that Cao Canjun's face and hands were very dark.
"Sigh, this is what it means to be out there every day, exposed to the wind and sun, eating and sleeping in the open."
Life was incredibly hard following the prince.
Yun Duoduo nodded.
It's not easy being a working person!
[Is Sumire's brother this tanned too?!]
"Where is my brother Jinzhi?"
Yun Duoduo gently patted the pig's back and whispered in its ear, "Master, bend down, I'm getting off the bus."
The pig's two front hooves were slightly bent. Yun Duoduo jumped off the pig's back, patted the pig's rump, and indicated that it could walk.
"Thank you, Master!"
"I'll bring you some delicious pig feed next time!"
"Hmm... Hmm..."
Piggy trusted Cloudy completely and slowly walked towards the river, seemingly because she was very thirsty and wanted to find some water.
"Your Highness..."
Cao Canjun looked at Yun Duoduo, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself, glancing at the mountain behind her.
【not good! 】
[Would Sumire's brother have gone in to look for her? There are wolves roaming inside!]
"Your Highness, we've gone up the mountain to find the princess."
With a mournful face, Cao Canjun asked, "It's been so long, Your Highness, how are you?"
Yun Duoduo quickly took out her whistle from her bosom and blew it.
She hoped that Jin Jinzhi would come out quickly upon hearing the whistle.
...
On Mount Zisu, Jin Jinzhi searched from one peak to another, but after a long time, he saw nothing.
There was no trace of clouds, nor was there a pack of wolves.
It's just an empty mountain.
Suddenly, he heard a whistle coming from the other side of the mountain.
Jin Jinzhi's nerves were on edge. He leaped over the mountain and landed steadily on the ground, following the direction of the whistle.
"Brother Jinzhi!"
Yun Duoduo shouted happily when she saw Jin Jin.
"Duoduo!"
Are you alright?!
Are you alright?!
The two spoke in unison, looking at each other with a mixture of worry and joy.
Jin Jinzhi picked up Yun Duoduo and patted her head. Then, she put her on the ground, spun her around, and checked her for any wounds.
“Brother Jinzhi, I’m fine.”
"Your Highness, you don't know..."
Cao Canjun was also very happy to see Jin Jinzhi come out.
Yun Duoduo gestured for Cao Canjun to be quiet, as she didn't want Jin Jinzhi to know that she had ridden a pig back.
The less he knew about such strange behavior, the better, after all, the image of the little princess and fairy had to be maintained.
"Know what?"
After Jin Jinzhi finished checking Yun Duoduo, she turned to look at Cao Canjun behind her, her eyes full of doubt.
"Uh, what I mean is, the little princess is really amazing, she escaped from the clutches of the Crown Prince of Western Chu on her own!"
The topic of Cao Canjun's transfer.
"Little princess, you have no idea how worried our prince is about you."
"We rode back at breakneck speed for four hundred li, and two of our finest Akhal-Teke horses died along the way!"
"His Highness hasn't slept for two nights in a row."
Yun Duoduo listened to Cao Canjun's words and looked up at Jin Jinzhi.
Why did my brother Sumire return in such a hurry? Was it because he was worried about me, or because of Father's orders?
