Wolves

Opening his eyes, Rong Yan instructed in a low voice, “Search a direction each and cause a commotion in the mountains. The bigger the better.”
As long as Yun Yi maintained the sense of danger from escaping at all times, he would not have the mood to interrogate Ning Xiaoxiao.
He then said to the bailiffs who had followed him, “Guard the various exits at the bottom of the mountain.”
The bailiffs did not know his identity, so they asked curiously, “Are you so sure that person is in the mountains? What if he took another path?”
Rong Yan opened his palm, and there was an orchid hairpin lying quietly on it. “She’s here.”
Fortunately, she was a smart girl.
Rong Yan couldn’t help but wonder if what she said before she was taken away would come true.
After calming down, Rong Yan chased in the direction pointed by the hairpin with Yun Er.
On the way, Yun Er could not help but ask, “Master, Chief… I’m talking about Yun Yi. Did he really betray you?”
Rong Yan pursed his lips and sped up.
Yun Er knew that he had asked a stupid question, but he really found it hard to believe that Yun Yi, who was like a brother to them, would betray their master! Weren’t they all personal guards personally chosen by his master to accompany him as he grew up?
Wait a minute, they were personally chosen by their master, but Chief, pfft, Yun Yi was not.
If she remembered correctly, when Master started choosing guards back then, Noble Consort casually pointed at one of them. But was that possible? Noble Consort was Master’s biological mother! What benefits could she get from harming Master?
Suddenly, Yun Er’s body stiffened and he almost bumped into a tree. If he had to say it, it would be beneficial to her.
Noble Consort favored the crown prince, and Yan Lu was obviously His Highness the Crown Prince’s man.
But even if the noble consort didn’t want his master to hinder His Highness the Crown Prince, why did she let Yun Yi take one of his master’s arms?
Yun Er, who suddenly thought of the key point, turned pale—the royal family had an unwritten rule that disabled people could not inherit the throne!
Whatever he could think of, Master must have thought of it too. How terrible must he feel now?
However, Yun Er was wrong this time. Rong Yan did not have the time to think about such nonsense at all. His mind was filled with the thought that nothing must happen to Ning Xiaoxiao!
The two of them ran with all their might and quickly reached a fork in the road. Just as they were hesitating about where to go, Rong Yan’s sharp eyes saw a group of birds strangely surrounding the right fork. He went forward to take a closer look and realized that there were still some biscuit crumbs on the ground.
Yun Er’s tone was uncertain. “This… was left behind by Miss Ning?”
Putting aside how she did all this under Yun Yi’s nose, why did she bring snacks with her when she was kidnapped?
“Moreover, Yun Yi is so cautious. How could he not notice Miss Ning’s small actions?”
This was a question worth thinking about. Yun Yi felt that: “Could it be that Yun Yi did it on purpose to use this to confuse us?”
Rong Yan didn’t think for long. “Let’s split up. I’ll take the right and you’ll take the left. If you don’t find anything else after 10 minutes, come back and look for me.”
He decided to believe in Xiaoxiao.
Not long after, he saw the flock of birds that had just dispersed again and followed their trajectory to find the biscuit crumbs on the ground. Rong Yan knew that he had made the right choice.
The first time he saw this, he could still suspect that Yun Yi was deliberately mystifying things. The second time he saw it, Xiaoxiao and Yun Yi must be on this road.
The Dayan Mountain Range stretched on and on. The area close to the county was much larger than the mountain that Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan had bought in Fortune Village. They chased after each other and it became nighttime. Xiaoxiao was really amazed by Yun Yi. He did not eat, drink, or look away. He really kept a close eye on her. She suspected that even if she said that she wanted to relieve herself, this person might have to follow her…
Otherwise, she would have disappeared in a second.
Very good. It was decided happily. Seeing that Yun Yi did not intend to start a fire and expose his whereabouts, she would give him a surprise later. Ah no, it would be horrifying.
Xiaoxiao originally thought that since she had nothing to do on the way to escape, she might be able to get something useful from Yun Yi by chatting with him. However, this person was silent the entire time and almost did not say a word.
Xiaoxiao was rather puzzled. “Can you at least ask me where the account book is?”
Yun Yi did not speak, but under the afterglow of the setting sun, Xiaoxiao felt that Yun Yi seemed to be surprised at this moment.
What was there to be surprised about? Could it be that he did not believe that the account book was with her at first? Then why did he capture her?
The mountain breeze was cold. Even though it was early summer, Xiaoxiao could not help but sneeze when she was blown by it.
Yun Yi was indifferent, but the space notification: [Master, there is an ingredient approaching!]
Xiaoxiao asked expectantly: [Is it Little Big Brother Ah Yan?]
The space shattered her beautiful dream: [No, Master, it’s a real ingredient! Run!]
Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up, hugged the big tree beside her, and jumped up. Fortunately, the original host’s small body was agile enough. It was not a problem for her to climb a tree.
Yun Yi glanced at her coldly and said mockingly, “Miss Ning doesn’t think you can escape like this…”
The sudden wolf howl interrupted the latter half of his sentence. Yun Yi turned around and looked at the approaching pairs of green beast eyes. He tightened his grip on the sword in his hand and actually did something that Xiaoxiao did not expect.
He slashed at the tree trunk, where Xiaoxiao was, a few times in a row. After making a huge hole in it, he suddenly turned around and threw the lighter into the grass. He cut down the wolf and ran.
Aiyo, this move was really vicious. First, he destroyed her hiding place, then used the smell of blood to arouse the ferocity of the wolves before running away? Was he serious about taking her life?
Xiaoxiao, who was complaining, flashed into the space before the tree fell. She was still puzzled. If he wanted to kill her, why didn’t he take action earlier? Also, generally speaking, she would be dead if there were wolves. Why did he need to set fire to the tree?
Not far away, Rong Yan, who saw the fire, rushed in this direction without hesitation. However, he met Yun Yi, whose clothes were stained with blood, halfway.
He raised his sword to meet it and asked coldly amidst the sound of weapons clashing, “Where’s Ning Xiaoxiao?”
Yun Yi smiled wantonly. He did not care even if Rong Yan cut his face. “Your Highness, don’t you think it’s unnecessary to ask this?”
Even though the light was dim, Rong Yan could clearly see the blood on his body. He felt a dull pain in his heart. He attacked faster and faster, and he started to be merciless.
“You can’t escape.”
However, Yun Yi smiled. “Your Highness can continue to chase after me, but in a while, Miss Ning’s corpse will probably be eaten clean by the wolf pack.”
As if to verify his words, wolf howls could be heard from the direction where the flames soared into the sky. Rong Yan could feel his panicked heartbeat. He did not hesitate and ran in that direction without any reluctance after forcing Yun Yi back. He did not even stop when Yun Yi cut him from behind.
Seeing that Rong Yan’s back had disappeared and there were sounds of others chasing after him, Yun Yi ran towards the water source he had just probed.
His Highness’s benevolence was no match for the ruthless people of the Yan Family..
