Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Bing Ling did not answer, but just looked at him coldly.

Bai Er was so anxious that he jumped to his feet. He looked around and saw that there were mostly short trees and dead branches, as well as gravel and snow around. There was no suitable place to hide.

Shangguan Qingyue obviously thought of this, so he said:

"Let's hurry to the mountain as soon as possible. The terrain there is rugged and maybe we can find a ray of hope."

She is not even halfway good at martial arts, Bing Ling is even worse than her now. Even if Bai Er has great martial arts skills, he cannot defeat a group of wild beasts.

Bing Ling had never hated her body as much as she did now. If she had known this, she would rather die of illness than agree to treatment. After a little thought, she said decisively:

"Second Brother Bai, carry the young lady on your back and leave quickly. I'll cover your retreat!"

Bai Er's face suddenly changed, but he still managed to hold back the refusal that was about to come out of his mouth. To live for the master and to die for the master is their destiny. He stamped his feet hard, turned around and squatted down, saying:

"Miss Shangguan, you have to lie on my back. Let's get out of here quickly!"

"I'm not that weak. The road here is rugged and steep. Even if you are a martial arts master, you can't run very fast with me on your back. Stop talking nonsense, let's go quickly, Sister Bingling, you have to keep up!"

After saying that, she immediately lifted up her skirt, took a deep breath, and quickly rushed to the top of the mountain.

Bai Er was stunned at first, and then he was shocked. This girl clearly had no internal strength at all, but her footwork was like that of a martial artist with great endurance.

So he grabbed Bing Ling,

"Bing girl, you have to hold on. If you and I can't catch up with Miss Shangguan, we won't be able to see His Highness again!"

The three of them chased each other to the top of the mountain, not daring to stop for a moment. When they were close to the top of the mountain, they unexpectedly found a huge deep pit in front of them, and in the deep pit was a plum forest, which was in full bloom.

Concubine Jing did not lie, there really are red plum blossoms on this mountain!

It was a pity that no one was in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. They had clearly heard the herd of beasts that Bing Ling mentioned. It should be a group of wild wolves!

But the frustrating thing is that the plum tree is not high and there is no other place to climb. How can they avoid the pack of wolves? !

Bai Erhan drew out a soft sword with a stern face, stood in front of Shangguan Qingyue and said in a deep voice:

"Miss Shangguan, just stay hidden for a while and ignore whatever happens. I have just sent a signal to His Highness and will protect you until the brothers come to support you!"

Shangguan Qingyue did not answer, but quietly pulled out a dagger inlaid with colorful gems from her sleeve. This dagger was given to her by the Third Prince when they were in Xiangxue Village. I'm afraid it will shed blood today.

"I will try my best to protect myself and try not to drag you two down."

Bai Er was moved after hearing this, and his eyes looked down the mountain more determinedly. Bing Ling pulled out a whip, and stood in front of Shangguan Qingyue with Bai Er, one on the left and one on the right.

Shangguan Qingyue hoped that this was just a nightmare, and everything would disappear as long as she waited until dawn. Unfortunately, what was supposed to come would always come...

They first heard a low roar, and then saw the leading wolf with green eyes flashing and sharp teeth bared, slowly walking towards them.

And behind it, there were dozens of horses following closely!

It seems that the one walking in front is the leader of this pack of wolves. He is walking alone in front probably because he wants to test Bai Er's ability.

Without any hesitation, Bai Er shouted and raised his sword to stab the wolf leader, his moves were ruthless and merciless. The wolf showed no fear at all, and became even more ferocious.

But strangely, it did not want to fight, but kept looking for opportunities to attack Shangguan Qingyue. Finally, seeing that Bai Er was really difficult to deal with, it simply growled a few times behind it, and the other wolves seemed to have received an order and immediately surrounded it.

Bai Er's two fists were no match for four hands, and he was soon covered in wounds. He couldn't even spare a bit of energy to check if Shangguan Qingyue was okay!

Shangguan Qingyue was in a very miserable state at this time. She had long since thrown away the dagger in her hand, and found a thick dead branch from somewhere, and waved it with all her strength.

However, this is not a long-term solution. Even if she keeps exercising, she cannot withstand the long-term physical consumption.

The dry branch in her hand was waving slower and slower, and she lost her balance and fell straight to the ground. The energetic wolf saw the opportunity and was ready to pounce on her!

Bing Ling's eyes were red with anger, and he didn't care that he was fighting with a sturdy wild wolf, and pounced towards Shangguan Qingyue.

But she was still a step too slow. Three vicious wolves had surrounded her. They would only need three or two bites to tear Shangguan Qingyue into pieces!

Bing Ling screamed with all her strength: "Girl——!!!"

She had never been so desperate. From childhood to adulthood, she had been through the gates of hell countless times in her attempt to become a qualified secret guard. Even when she was in desperate situations, she had never collapsed like this.

But now, she hated her own incompetence!

Such a beautiful person, kind, warm, smart... She deserves all the beautiful praises in the world! How could such a good girl die so tragically in the mouth of a wolf pack? !

At this critical moment, a wolf howl that resounded through the sky suddenly came from not far away. The sound seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, causing everyone to stop what they were doing.

Baili Nanqing had been feeling anxious since she couldn't see her daughter, and her hands were shaking badly. As for who won the first prize in this so-called poetry competition, she didn't care at all.

When she heard the melodious wolf howl, the fear in her heart reached its peak, which was too much for her to bear. She didn't care about the rules anymore, she stood up quickly without even saying hello, and ran straight up the mountain.

Madam Wan only had time to grab a piece of her clothes before she disappeared. She could only say to Imperial Concubine Jing awkwardly:

"Please don't blame me, Queen. Qingniang must be too worried about her daughter and didn't have time to take care of other things. I don't know where that wolf howl came from. It's really frightening to hear!"

When Concubine Jing heard the wolf howling, she was not panicked. Instead, a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

Shangguan Yunxin was only one step slower than her mother, and was interrupted by Madam Wan's words. She knelt on the ground anxiously and kowtowed, saying:

"Please allow me to go to the mountain to see if my sister is okay. The wolf howl just now clearly came from the mountain. My mother and I can't help but worry about it!"

After saying that, she kowtowed three times in a row, not caring at all even though there was a bruise on her forehead.

Every time Nanny Rong, who was standing behind Concubine Jing, saw her kowtow, her body trembled slightly, and if you looked closely, you could see that her eyes were a little red.

"Why are you so impatient, kid? I haven't said anything yet and you're so eager to kowtow. It seems like I'm deliberately making things difficult for you."

Imperial Concubine Jing looked surprised, turned around and looked at Nanny Rong and instructed:

"Mammy, take a few guards and follow Miss Shangguan to the mountain to take a look."

Shangguan Yun was furious when he heard this. It was obvious that the other party was stalling for time on purpose. The nanny was already middle-aged and fat. By the time she climbed up the mountain, the daylilies would be cold!

But she could only suppress all her anger and obey. Her mother had already done something out of the ordinary, and if she made any more mistakes, the Shangguan family would not be able to withstand the imperial concubine's anger.

Shangguan Qingyue lay prone on the ground, hurt by the stones under her body. Just when she thought she would die here today, the wolf howl seemed to have cast a spell to freeze all the wild wolves at the scene.

Even the leader wolf let go of Bai Er's shoulder. Fortunately, it didn't have time to use force, otherwise Bai Er would have lost his arm.

The three of them maintained their current position without daring to move until they saw a tall black wolf with shiny fur appear.

"Black General!!!"

Shangguan Qingyue shouted out in surprise, and the black wolf seemed to have a gentle look in his eyes. He trotted over and touched his head to hers intimately.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Yan also rushed over with a team of guards. Before Bai Er could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that the hem of his master's right leg was stained with blood!

"Your Highness, is your leg injured?!"

Xuanyuan Yan waved his hand nonchalantly, looked at the embarrassed Shangguan Qingyue and asked:

"Ayue, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Shangguan Qingyue's originally pale face was slightly flushed, and she shook her head in a daze. She was a little dizzy and wondered if this name was too intimate.

At this time, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn and covered in mud, and the only hair ornament on her head had fallen to the side. She looked funny and pitiful.

Xuanyuan Yan first walked up to Black Wolf and said:

"What are you still standing there for? Go and deal with your accomplices. If you continue to be dissatisfied, you will have to deal with it yourself."

The black wolf whimpered softly, and obediently wagged its tail to look for the leader. The majestic and domineering aura it had just had was long gone.

Then he stretched out his hand to Shangguan Qingyue and said distressedly:

"The ground is cold, get up quickly."
