The 57th time a lone man and woman encounter a pack of wolves

  There is no mouth that doesn't leak, and the matter of taking away Sheng Chen's life must be done. The existing danger and possibility of leakage will greatly increase. Therefore, for the safety of Chao Gai and others, Ximen Qing had to carefully remind them. With his reminder, Chao Gai and others would be more careful. If they could avoid being discovered, it would be even better.

  Upon hearing Ximen Qing's reminder, Liu Tang chuckled and said: "Brother, you can rest assured. With Wu Xueju here, are we afraid of leaking secrets? Wu Xueju has always been meticulous, how could he possibly let the news slip out!"

  Ximen Qing's eyebrows furrowed, saying: "Liu Dage, this is absolutely not the way to speak. If we hold such thoughts, then I think we should abandon the plan to seize the goods. Wu Xueju may be meticulous in his calculations, but even with a hundred precautions, there can still be a single leak. Any insignificant factor could potentially reveal our secret!"

  At this time, Wu Yong also nodded and said: "Yi Di is right, after all, we are human beings, not gods, how can we do it without leaving anything out? So the plan must be carefully considered again, Yi Di's reminder is correct!"

  "Right! The matter of snatching the treasure is not a trivial one. If we're not careful and leak out the news, we brothers will be in trouble, hehe, so we must be cautious!"

  Hearing a few people's words, Liu Tang touched the back of his head and smiled, saying: "Don't worry, I was just joking. However, the plan still relies on Brother Chong and Wu Yong. I'm just a rough man who can only exert my strength! Hehe..."

  "Everyone, be careful!" Ximen Qing said again and again. Then he said: "Brothers, I'll go pack my things now, and then call Zixuan, let's have a good drink at noon, how about it?"

  Seeing Ximen Qing's determination to leave, Chai Ge and others did not stop him again. Chai Ge said: "Since brother is determined to do so, then okay! Let me entrust Zixuan to your care, take good care of her for me!"

  Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother!"

  ······

  After noon, Ximen Qing and Ziyuan set out on horseback from the Zhuo Mansion, heading towards Yuan Cheng.

  On the road, the two of them rode their horses leisurely, walking at a slow pace, chatting and laughing all the way, feeling very relaxed.

  Zi Xuan's reluctance to leave home has improved a lot, happily looking at the surrounding mountains and trees, smiling and asking: "Officer, when can we arrive in Yun City?"

  Ximen Qing looked up at the sky and said, "We can arrive by tomorrow noon, what's wrong?"

  Zi Xuan's face suddenly turned red and she said: "In this desolate mountain forest, how will we rest at night?"

  Ximen Qing was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zi Xuan with a sly gaze, his eyes seeming to say, "You little girl, you have quite a few twisted ideas!"

  Ximen Qing chuckled and said: "Of course we'll stay here, the earth as our bed, the blue sky as our blanket. We're a lonely man and woman, how about it? Isn't it quite cozy?"

  "I don't know!" Zi Xuan's cheeks turned even redder as she said with a blush. Then, with a flick of her whip and a pat on the horse's back, she cried out in a tender voice: "Let's go!"

  Then he disappeared into thin air.

  Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Let's go!" He followed closely behind.

  When the sun sets, the two of them found a place at the foot of the mountain, set up a tent, lit a bonfire, and sat around it. Then Ximen Qing fetched some spring water, hunted a wild rabbit, cleaned it up, and put it on the bonfire to roast. As the sky gradually darkened, the roasted rabbit emitted a fragrant aroma.

  Pan Jinlian blushed and leaned against Ximen Qing's side, tightly embracing his arm, unwilling to let go.

  How can one not be delighted when living in a beautiful environment with someone you love, just the two of you between heaven and earth?

  Ximen Qing flipped over the wild rabbit, then took it down and brought it over to sniff at it. Smiling, he said to Zi Xuan, "Zi Xuan, it's done, try some!"

  Zi Xuan nodded, then plucked out a leg and blew on it before taking a bite. As she ate, she said, "Mmm, delicious!"

  Ximen Qing chuckled and said: "My cooking skills are naturally good, if it's delicious then eat more!"

  "En en......" Zi Xuan En nodded in agreement.

  At this moment, Ximen Qing furrowed his brow, gripped the Fang Tianhua halberd beside him tightly, and looked towards a small cluster of trees about 100 meters away.

  "What's wrong?" Seeing Ximen Qing's cautious expression, Zi Xuan's face changed and she asked in a low voice.

  Ximen Qing pointed to a small grove of trees and said, "There's some movement over there, it looks like an animal."

  "Could it be a wild rabbit?"

  Ximen Qing shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Wild rabbits are cautious animals that will be scared away by the slightest movement. We're talking here and there's a fire burning, so it's impossible for a wild rabbit to be this close to us!"

  Zi Xuan slightly pouted her small mouth and said: "What could that be? Ah, look, what's that light?"

  Zi Xuan covered her cherry-like mouth with one hand and looked surprised, pointing at the thicket of trees and trembling as she spoke.

  Ximen Qing hastily looked over and saw that in the thicket, more than a dozen faint green lights had appeared. Although the green light was very dim, under the moonlight, darkness, and tree shade, it seemed so gloomy and frightening.

  Ximen Qing suddenly said: "It's a wolf!"

  "Wolf? How can there be a wolf here?" Zi Xuan's face was shocked, and then she looked at the thicket.

  Just then, a sparse sound came from the thicket, and nine black shadows slowly crawled out of the thicket, quickly forming an arc shape, and slowly closing in.

  Ximen Qing took a deep breath and said: "It's actually the nine-headed grey wolf!"

  Nine-headed grey wolves, each with a tall and majestic build, comparable to that of large Tibetan mastiffs. Their grey fur, eyes gleaming with a green light, sharp claws and teeth capable of tearing flesh, scarlet tongues, drooling with saliva, each one an embodiment of ferocity.

  Purple swan tightly hugged Ximen Qing's arm and asked: "Husband, what shall we do?"

  Ximen Qing looked around at the terrain and furrowed his brow.

  They are now at the foot of the mountain, with rocks on both sides and the peak behind them, leaving no place to hide. If it were just one person, Ximen Qing could easily annihilate these nine beasts with his halberd. But now that Zi Xuan is here, if the wolves surround him and attack Zi Xuan, things will get complicated, which is also what Ximen Qing fears most.

  "Damn it, how can there be a pack of wolves here?" Ximen Qing cursed in a depressed tone. Then he gripped the Fang Tian Hua Halberd tightly, protected Zi Xuan and said: "Zi Xuan, go up the mountain, find a big rock!"

  Zi Xuan nodded and then quickly took his long spear and rushed up the mountain. After that, Xi Menqing stood guard.

  Watching Zi Xuan escape up the mountain, the gray wolves suddenly howled and then directly pounced on Ximen Qing.

  Just a hundred meters away, but the gray wolf's impact brought it to Ximen Qing's front in an instant, twenty meters away, with an exceptionally fast speed. Moreover, the nine-headed gray wolf also dispersed into a formation, six of them pounced on Ximen Qing together, while the other three bypassed Ximen Qing to chase after Zi Xuan.

  "Damn it, you're a sly beast!"

  After finishing speaking, Ximen Qing's two hands flew up, and the featherless arrows flew up one after another, six stone pellets shot straight at those three gray wolves!
