Jun Lingyun took Chu Yunxi off the horse again. Although Chu Yunxi's riding skills were already known to everyone during the royal hunt.
But if His Highness the Crown Prince wants to pamper his wife, who can tell her otherwise? Even the secret guards are used to it.
Only Su Yan was a little envious of her cousin when she saw Jun Zifeng getting off his horse.
I wonder if there will be any intersection between her and the Crown Prince again when she returns to the capital of Yunxiao Kingdom.
"What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"
Seeing that Su Yan was still on the horse, Jun Zifeng couldn't help but ask.
Su Yan was a little embarrassed, as if she had been caught, so she quickly got off her horse.
"No, it's nothing."
"But are you tired? Once you enter the territory of Yunxiao Kingdom, you can change to a carriage."
Jun Zifeng thought that Su Yan had been riding horses for days and she couldn't bear it anymore.
Su Yan shook her head. How could she look at him all the way in the carriage?
Her parents had already begun to worry about her marriage, fearing that she would become an old girl at home.
I don’t know how many matchmakers came to visit her. Her parents were still expecting the Crown Prince to like her, and they were wondering if Prince Hao’s Mansion would also come to propose marriage, so they kept putting it off.
Just waiting and waiting, there was no news at all, so my father and mother couldn't sit still and no longer thought about Prince Hao's Mansion.
This time she finally begged her parents to let go and allow her to go on an outing with her cousin. When they got back, they might actually marry her.
And she came to Dongyi this time because she wanted to give herself one last chance.
If it doesn't work, she may never have a chance to take a good look at him again.
Jun Zifeng didn't know why Su Yan, who had always been cheerful and cheerful, suddenly became worried. He didn't say anything more and only looked at her from the corner of his eye from time to time.
The few people simply ate some dry food and then went into the tent to rest. They had to go on the road early tomorrow morning. The secret guards took turns keeping watch at night.
However, before they could fall asleep, they were woken up again.
A wolf howl broke the silence of the night.
Wolves are wild beasts that hunt in packs. If there are a large number of wolves, they are more difficult to deal with than tigers. And listening to the howls of wolves one after another, you know that the situation cannot be underestimated.
"Ling Yun, why are there wolves here?"
Chu Yunxi hurriedly put on her coat and asked Jun Lingyun worriedly.
Although the place they were in was in a forest, they were all low trees. They couldn't be considered deep mountains and old forests, so there shouldn't be any wolves around.
"Xi'er, don't leave my side."
Jun Lingyun warned him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked outside the tent. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
"Aow~", "Aow~", "Aow~"...
The sound of howling wolves sounded from all directions, surrounding them, getting closer and closer.
Everyone had hurriedly put on their clothes and left the camp. The secret guards drew their swords vigilantly and protected the masters in the inner circle.
Their horses were already neighing in fear and stamping their hooves in fear.
In this case, it is obviously not possible to ride a horse. Otherwise, if wild wolves attack the horses, the horses will go crazy. They will definitely be thrown off the horses, and they will be even more passive when faced with the attacks of the wolves.
Leaving the horses behind might attract the wolves and buy them time to escape.
Bai Xiao asked in a low voice.
"Master, let's let the horses go. Maybe we can lure the wolves away."
Jun Lingyun frowned and looked at the white horse that had followed him to the two countries. It was the horse chosen by Xi'er.
But in this situation, people have too much time to take care of themselves. Maybe if they are tied in place, it will die even more miserably. Jun Lingyun became cruel and ordered:
"Release the horse!"
The secret guards listened to the order and immediately cut off the ropes binding the horses. More than a dozen horses neighed, but they didn't know where to flee.
Just because pairs of green eyes appeared around them, shining with a cold and fierce light in the dim night, which made people shudder.
The birds in the forest scattered in all directions, and for a while the only thing left was the terrifying whine of the wild wolf.
Gradually, the wolf's entire body emerged from the dark night and appeared in their sight.
Su Yan's eyes widened in horror, and she almost screamed. She covered her mouth with both hands to suppress the sound that had reached her throat.
Is this really a wolf? How could there be such a big wolf? Needless to say, it jumped up and pounced. As long as the wolf raised its front paws, it would be taller than her.
Jun Zifeng calmly moved closer to Su Yan, keeping Su Yan within his protection.
Chu Yunxi was not much better. Even though she had lived two lives and had seen all kinds of "cows, ghosts and snakes", she still couldn't help but stand on end when faced with such a group of ferocious beasts.
If he were bitten, even if he didn't die on the spot, his arms and legs would definitely be broken.
She didn't dare to say anything, she just winked at Wu You, signaling him to protect He Xiang.
Wu You was shocked. At such a critical moment, the Crown Princess still cared about He Xiang's safety.
He bowed deeply to Chu Yunxi, pulled He Xiang, who was already trembling a little, and came close to his master, so that he could protect both parties.
Wild wolves walked out of the darkness one after another, baring their sharp fangs and roaring fiercely, saliva dripping from their tooth sockets to the ground, as if they couldn't wait to tear them apart and have a feast.
I can't count the number of them, there seem to be hundreds of them.
The eyes that stared closely at the prey sent shivers down everyone's spine.
Jun Lingyun frowned. This wolf pack did not look like an ordinary forest wolf pack, but seemed to be the mountain snow wolves he had seen in the northern barbarians. How could it appear at the border between Yunxiao Kingdom and Dongyi?
Seeing that the circle of wolves was getting smaller and smaller, they were already only ten steps away from them. Maybe it only took one jump to knock them to the ground.
And even if they have martial arts skills, they can't guarantee that they can escape safely under the siege of so many large snow wolves.
"Up the tree!"
Jun Lingyun gave the order, grabbed Chu Yunxi's waist and flew up the tree.
Wu You also jumped up with the fragrance of lotus.
Wu Lu wanted to save Su Yan, but Jun Zifeng got there first and blocked his movement with his back.
"Miss Su, I'm offended."
Before Su Yan could react, she was already hugged by Jun Zifeng and flew up.
She actually forgot the danger in front of her for a moment. This was the second time Jun Zifeng was approaching her, but this time, it was more direct, and she couldn't help but blush.
But thinking about his current situation, he regained his senses.
Wu Lu touched his nose. The prince was very skilled in martial arts. It was good that the prince protected Miss Su. It was good.
Just as he was confused by Jun Zifeng's sudden move, a tall wolf had already rushed toward him.
Wu You didn't dare to be careless. After all, there was a huge disparity in power between humans and beasts. If it were a head-on confrontation, he couldn't guarantee whether he would be able to do it all.
He dodged the fatal blow and quickly followed his master into the tree.
The other secret guards also looked after themselves when they saw that their masters had already climbed up the tree. Some of them were slow for a moment, and their legs were scratched with deep blood marks by the snow wolf's sharp claws.
Jun Lingyun originally thought that it would be safer not to go into the dense forest and stay overnight, but now it has become dangerous.
The trees here are not tall enough to stop the huge snow wolf.
Moreover, these snow wolves are very smart and will jump up by stepping on the backs of their companions.
The current plan is to enter the dense forest and have tall trees as cover, so that they can escape unscathed.
