Chapter 449: Wolf Pack

The next morning, when Yu Niaoniao saw Cheng Qi again, she saw a young woman beside him.

The girl’s eyes were red as if she had just cried, but she did not show much resistance when Cheng Qi hugged her; it seemed as though she had accepted reality.

Cheng Qi did not feel ashamed of doing anything wrong. He smiled and said.

“I disturbed you last night. It’s my fault. When we reach Jinwu City later, I’ll treat you to wine as an apology.”

Xiao Juan replied calmly, “It’s getting late. Let’s go.”

Cheng Qi carried the new beauty into the carriage.

Yu Niaoniao watched them leave and sighed inwardly. Everyone said that a pot matched a lid. This fellow and Princess Ni Yang were really a match made in heaven.

The squire’s family must have benefited from Cheng Qi. Not only did they not pursue the matter last night, but they even sent him away happily.

The convoy set off again.

Yu Niaoniao leaned against the soft pillow and swayed with the carriage. Unknowingly, she gradually fell asleep.

At noon, she was woken up for something to eat.

She couldn’t fall asleep in the afternoon. She could only take out cards and play Fight the Landlord with Chun Feng and Ye Yu to pass the time.

By the time the carriage stopped again, the sun had set.

But they did not manage to find a place to stay.

Yu Niaoniao jumped out of the carriage to ask Xiao Juan about the situation and happened to see him talking to Cheng Qi.

Xiao Juan had a serious expression and a cold voice.

“Didn’t you say that this road could reach Jinwu City faster?”

Cheng Qi looked helpless. “I don’t know what’s going on either. Previously, I took this shortcut to find you. How would I know that I actually went in the wrong direction this time?” Yu Niaoniao could not help but ask, “Are we lost?”

Xiao Juan nodded. “Yes.”

Cheng Qi said, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault this time. I’ll get someone to search the vicinity and see if there’s a place to stay.”

With that, he called the accompanying guards over and asked them to search nearby.

Xiao Juan called Yan Nanguan over and asked him to bring a team of Eagle Guards to investigate the terrain.

It was dark and windy now. If there was any danger around, it would be very difficult for them to guard against it. They had to be prepared in advance.

Yan Nanguan quickly left with his men.

At this moment, Wei Liao came over. He crossed his arms and smiled as if he was watching a good show.

“Didn’t you say that we would take a shortcut? Where are we cutting?”

Cheng Qi did not feel awkward and smiled.

“This time, I did something bad out of kindness. I shouldn’t have led the way.

However, you don’t have to worry too much. This place shouldn’t be far from Jinwu City. If something really happens, Jinwu City will send someone to support us.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “So we’re sleeping in the open tonight?”

Cheng Qi immediately said, “My carriage is very spacious. If you don’t mind, you can spend the night in my carriage.”

Xiao Juan looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes projecting a death stare.

“There’s no need.”

Cheng Qi explained, “Don’t think too much. I mean to let Niaoniao and Xiaoya spend the night in the carriage. I’ll just find another place to make do for the night. No matter how difficult the conditions are, it’s impossible for the girls to suffer.’

Yu Niaoniao was speechless. This fellow actually made sense.

“Thank you for your kindness, Prince Consort. My own carriage is quite comfortable. There’s no need to change places.”

She looked around and saw that they were now in a rock forest.

As far as the eye could see, there were strange rocks.

Under the dark sky, these rocks looked like ghosts. Coupled with the cold night wind, a sinister and terrifying atmosphere arose spontaneously.

Yu Niaoniao subconsciously shrank her neck. This place did not feel good.

A thick cloak fell on her.

She turned around and saw Xiao Juan standing behind her. Xiao Juan retracted his hand. “It’s cold at night. Wear more.” Yu Niaoniao gathered her cloak and smiled sweetly at him.

“Yes!”

Xiao Juan took out a sachet. “This is for you.”

Yu Niaoniao took the sachet and sniffed it. Its fragrance was very special. At first sniff, it smelled a little bitter, but it was very comfortable after a long time. There should be some herbs added to it.

She asked curiously, “Where did this sachet come from?”

Xiao Juan said, “I asked Little Lo to specially make this. There are some special herbs added to it. Wearing it with you can prevent mosquitoes and insects. If you smell it hard, you can even refresh your mind.”

Yu Niaoniao was very happy. “Wow! Little Lo has such an ability. It’s too powerful! ”

She immediately put the sachet on.

Yan Nanguan returned with the Eagle Guards. They had searched the vicinity, but they had not even seen a family, let alone an inn.

This area was filled with rocks. Other than rocks, there was nothing else.

It seemed that they would have to sleep in the open tonight.

The night was dark, and it was too troublesome to set up a tent at the last minute. Anyway, it was only a night, so Xiao Juan did not let the Eagle Guards set up a tent.

Everyone used the firewood they had picked up to light two bonfires. Everyone sat around the fire to warm themselves and casually ate some dry food and water. It was considered dinner tonight.

As the night deepened, Yu Niaoniao brought Chun Feng and Ye Yu back to the carriage to rest.

Xiao Juan and the Eagle Guards were still sitting by the bonfire. They were prepared to make do tonight.

Wei Liao sat beside another bonfire with the Sky Wolf Guards.

The two sides were clearly separated and did not interfere with each other.

While Yu Niaoniao was in a daze, she suddenly heard an urgent knocking.

Knock knock knock!

She, Ye Yu, and Chun Feng woke up.

The three of them hurriedly pushed open the car window and saw Xiao Juan standing outside the carriage.

He lowered his voice.

“There’s danger. Get out of the carriage. Be gentle.”

Yu Niaoniao, Chun Feng, and Ye Yu were shocked.

They hurriedly put on their clothes and tiptoed out of the carriage.

Xiao Juan immediately protected Yu Niaoniao behind him and retreated behind the rock with the three of them.

Yu Niaoniao realized that there were dozens of green eyes not far ahead.

They were hidden in the night and could not be seen clearly. Only their eyes emitted a faint cold light.

It was a wolf pack!

They approached the camp silently under the cover of the night.

If not for the fact that the wolves had been discovered by the Eagle Guards on night duty, the convoy would not have known that they had become someone else’s prey.

Yu Niaoniao had never seen such a scene and could not help but feel a chill in her heart.

Why were there so many wolves?

The wolf pack seemed to have sensed their abnormality and knew that they were about to run. The alpha made a prompt decision to raise his head and howl. Immediately after, dozens of wild wolves rushed out of the darkness!

They pounced at the humans like arrows.

Xiao Juan pushed Yu Niaoniao behind the nearest rock.

He drew the No Return Saber. The blade was bright, refracting a sharp light in the night.

The first wolf to pounce was injured by the blade and fell to the ground, wailing in pain.

The night wind blew over, spreading the smell of blood.

The wolves were stimulated and rushed towards Xiao Juan!
