Chapter 54 Flying Too Low
"Aowu--" The gray giant wolf howled at Yue Qiyun's back. The shrill howling slashed through the wind and snow, making it look extremely cold, but only she could understand the gratitude and reluctance.
When Yue Qiyun walked to the foot of the mountain where the Hulun River meets the Wusu River, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.
Wulan caught a hare foraging in the snow on the way. Yue Qiyun found a place to be leeward, roasted the rabbit, and made a picnic with Wulan in the wild.
After barely filling his stomach, the feeling of waiting is always very painful. Just when Yue Qiyun was so anxious that he jumped high, Wulan suddenly raised her head alertly, sniffed in the air with her nose, and whispered: "There is a group of strangers approaching not far away, let's be careful!"
Yue Qiyun's expression calmed down and buried the remaining food in snow neatly. She wiped away the traces of barbecue, squeezed with Ulan, and hid in a deep snow nest.
It took only a quarter of an hour to lie into the snow nest, and the heavy snow completely buried them. Ulan thoughtfully blocked Yue Qiyun under her body, covering her with the biting cold wind.
The north wind was howling outside and snowflakes were flying, but the place where Yue Qiyun was hiding was extremely warm and dry due to Ulan.
The sound of horse hooves came from afar, and Ulan lay motionlessly under the snow quilt. Without looking carefully, she could not see that there was still a person and a mastiff on the vast wasteland...
"Prince, let's just grab the food and grass of the Flame Clan like this, and won't it attract their revenge?" A man's bold voice came into Yue Qiyun's ears with the sound of horse hooves.
She couldn't help but feel shocked! Who are these people?
"Look at what you said! We deliberately let the Zuo Xianwang of the Fierce Clan who was escorting the food and grass. What he saw was the Karen people robbed their food and grass for winter!" The answer was a young man who was like a loud bell.
"Yuan Lie has been a pawn for Liang Kingdom for more than a month, but the benefits he has obtained were kidnapped by us. If he knows, he will not have to fight with the Karen people! It will be funny when he thinks about it!" The thick man laughed out loud and shook the whip proudly.
"Hahaha!" The crowd also laughed wildly with the laughter of the rough man.
"King Yingming, I robbed Yuan Lie's little boy Yuan Lie's food and grass. Now the scattered members of the Flame Clan cannot survive this winter!" Someone shouted loudly.
"That's right, even if the Flame people knew that the food and grass were robbed, they could only go to the Karen people to fight to the death. Our Naimans are their Khan's life-saving benefactor!"
"The little princess has made a great contribution this time. Without her information, we would not have intercepted the grain transport team of the Fiery Man by the Hulun River."
The noisy voices mixed with the messy sound of horse hooves came into Yue Qiyun's ears intermittently. She couldn't help but frown again: It seems that it was the army that escorted the food and grass of the Flame clan, and she was in trouble!
"My sister Wang is deeply trusted by that little boy. We can all rely on her if we succeed this time!" The man, who was called the prince, changed his tone and sighed: "It's a pity that she has no fate with the concubine. She has made a Han girl the concubine of the Flame Clan for nothing."
"Prince, I heard from the tribe that the Han woman is a stunning woman." A vulgar voice sounded above Yue Qiyun's head, "When we kill all the scattered beasts of the Flame clan, we may have to snatch the Han woman over and have fun..."
"Yes, I heard that the skin of the Han girl is as smooth as milk. On that day, we grassland men will also try the charm of the Jiangnan water town women, hahaha!"
When Yue Qiyun heard these people offend him with such unbearable words, she couldn't help but tremble in anger and her fists were clenched tightly.
Amid a group of noisy jokes, and the creaking sound of car wheels running through the snow, Yue Qiyun suppressed the anger in her heart and counted the sound of horse hooves.
This is a huge team of cavalry of three or four hundred people and dozens of carriages carrying large weights. With her own thin power, it is impossible to sneak attack.
This made Yue Qiyun feel very angry, so angry that she almost bit her silver teeth, but she had to stay in the snow nest in a daze and endure it. And Wulan also knew that Xingzang could not be exposed at this time, so she held her breath and focused her mind, waiting for the team of people to pass by before slowly raising her head.
"A bunch of bastards!" Yue Qiyun jumped up from the sound of Wulan and sweared in a low voice to the vast snow field: "As sooner or later, I will let you taste the power of my Yue family's spear!"
Not long after the group of people left, Zhaoyue came on the snow.
"Why did you come? We're frozen to death!" Yue Qiyun jumped onto the horse before Zhaoyue could stop, and complained while shouting his frozen hands.
"Is it cold?" Zhaoyue squirted out a string of hot air, shook her head and asked, "I feel it's just right!"
Yue Qiyun slapped Zhaoyue in anger. "If I had known that you had arrived so late, I would have gone back to Ulan!"
"——!" Zhaoyue ran wildly, and laughed as she ran: "You guys can run fast? If you don't have me, just run to the Flame Court at the speed of you two, it would be impossible for you to run to the Flame Court in the middle of the night?"
"You are so beautiful!" Although Yue Qiyun cursed, she really liked Zhaoyue's wild personality.
"Wulan, jump on the horse. Don't it dislike us for running slowly?" She shouted to Ulan, who was running fast, causing Zhaoyue to laugh again.
"Oh hehe--!" Yue Qiyun pulled Zhaoyue's long horse mane and said jokingly: "You run fast, right? Half an hour ago, a pair of people passed by here. From now on, you will track them as fast as possible. If you catch up with them within half a quarter of an hour, I will admit that you run fast!"
"Hao--!" Zhaoyue spread her hooves and jumped out before Yue Qiyun finished speaking. "In less than half a quarter of an hour, ten breaths are enough!"
"Hey! Wait for me!" Not only did Ulan not have time to jump on the horse's back, but was hit by the snowflakes raised by Zhaoyue. It shook off the snow blocks on its head, and hurriedly stepped on the deep horse's hooves and chased after it.
This time, Zhaoyue ran wildly, and her speed was much faster than chasing the yellow sheep before. Yue Qiyun only felt the gentle snowflakes poked on her face, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wrapped her face tightly.
In the speed of speed, she looked back and saw that there was no trace of Ulan!
The feeling of flying clouds and fog didn't last long. Zhaoyue suddenly stopped, her ears kept turning, and she looked at a pair of people and horses emerging in the wind and snow ahead.
"Are they?" It sniffed, its long eyelashes were covered with snowflakes, and its agile figure was as straight as an elf in the wind and snow.
"My God, this speed!" Yue Qiyun exclaimed. In just a few breaths, it actually ran more than ten kilometers. If this were converted to the speed of Hyundai Motor, it would be nearly one hundred miles!
