The eldest lady is both a doctor and a warrior, they love her so much

"Take a break, we're going to Moon Bay. Remember to leave a mark for Wen Mo. We'll be waiting for them there."

Hua Moxuan felt uneasy again after he finished speaking, and looked at Meng Gui and said, "You and Wuying should look for him in the direction we came from. If you find him, come back together. If you don't find him, come back in three days at the latest. We will think of a solution then."

"Yes, master!" Meng Gui did not doubt him and called Wuying, and the two of them turned back.

At this time, the bridegroom from the Western Liao Dynasty came stumbling over and knelt down in front of Hua Moxuan. He first apologized in a babble, and then said that he planned to send a team of people to look for people, and the rest would go to the Moon Bay ahead to rest.

This arrangement was pretty much what Hua Moxuan had expected, so he didn't say much.

After all, he just wanted an identity so that he could be with Hua Xin openly, and the rest was not a problem.

Even if the wedding procession was destroyed in the end, it would be enough as long as they could return to Hua Xin.

Hua Moxuan had no feelings towards Western Liao. Even if he did, it was because they had invaded the border time and time again, and he was determined to drive them away.

Now using his identity to exchange for a temporary truce between the two countries is considered a good thing.

On the other side, Meng Gui and Wu Ying continued walking along the same path they came from.

The sky gradually darkened, and the ground was covered with yellow sand. Even the wind could bring a mouthful of sand.

Gradually they discovered some bloodstains. They looked at each other and their hearts skipped a beat.

There are night wolves and poisonous insects in the desert. If you are not careful, you can easily die.

The mottled bloodstains proved this.

Going further, Meng Gui even found quite a few corpses. Some of the corpses had been eaten by night wolves beyond recognition and it was impossible to tell who they belonged to.

Judging from his clothes, he doesn't seem to be a member of their wedding procession.

"Fortunately, it's not them."

Wuying breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them quickened their pace and continued forward.

They didn't know how long they had been walking before they discovered a lot of bloodstains.

These bloodstains were different from those discovered before. They had not even been buried by the yellow sand. There were also traces of fighting on the ground. It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here.

"Wuying, look at these bloodstains, are they left by Wen Mo and the others?" Meng Gui asked, pointing at the bloodstains on the ground.

Wuying checked carefully and nodded, "I'm not sure. There's not even a corpse nearby. Maybe they've already left."

Meng Gui frowned and felt more and more uneasy.

They knew that the desert would become very dangerous at night, but now that it was just getting dark, they had already discovered two bloodstains. So, were Wen Mo and the others who were still in the desert also in danger? Even... they didn't dare to think about it. They couldn't afford the consequences, and their master couldn't afford it even more.

"Let's keep moving forward and see if we can find more clues." Meng Gui decided.

The two continued moving forward and soon came to a poplar forest. There was an underground river flowing through the forest. There were several big trees next to the underground river, and there seemed to be some human figures under the trees.

Meng Gui was delighted and quickly called out, "Wen Mo, is that you?"

However, when they got closer, they found that those figures were not Wen Mo and others, but a group of mysterious people in black.

The aura of these mysterious people is very strong, they are obviously masters.

"Not good!" Meng Gui realized that the situation was not good and immediately turned around and prepared to escape.

But it was too late. The group of mysterious people quickly surrounded them and trapped them.

"Who are you?" Meng Gui asked angrily, glaring at the mysterious man in the lead.

The mysterious man sneered and said, "Humph, you don't need to know too much. Just surrender obediently, and you may be able to save your life. Otherwise..."

As he spoke, a sharp sword appeared in his hand and pointed at Meng Gui and Wu Ying.

Meng Gui and Wu Ying looked at each other, and a hint of determination flashed in their eyes.

"Come on! Let me see how powerful you are!" Meng Gui drew the sword from his waist, stood side by side with Wuying, ready to face this life-and-death battle.

On the other side, Hua Xin was sitting in a box, and the person dragging her changed from one person to two people.

The three of them looked at the poplar forest in front of them and immediately showed happy expressions.

"We should be able to take a break up front."

"Miss, I'll go explore the way first."

Wen Mo looked at the dense poplar forest in front of him and felt a little uneasy.

He knew very well that there might be various dangers hidden here, especially at night, when there were dangers lurking everywhere.

If we rashly bring the young lady and Mr. Yan in, if we encounter an accident, it would be difficult to cope with it.

Especially when encountering those ferocious desert night wolves, it was difficult for him to take into account Hua Xin's safety.

In addition, Yan Youzhi was just a scholar and not good at martial arts, which made him even more worried.

Therefore, he decided to explore the way alone and lead everyone forward only after making sure everything was safe.

"Be careful." Hua Xin frowned slightly and stared at the poplar forest.

For some reason, she always felt that there seemed to be some strange movement there, as if some unknown existence was lurking there.

She held the edge of the box tightly, watching Wen Mo's gradually receding figure until he completely blended into the twilight ahead.

The light was dim under the starry sky, and Hua Xin did not dare to act rashly, but she was always ready to deal with possible dangers.

Not long after, a slight sound of weapons clashing came from deep in the poplar forest.

Hua Xin keenly caught this signal and immediately said to Yan Youzhi: "Youzhi, help me up."

Yan Youzhi swallowed nervously, but still obediently helped Hua Xin up.

At this moment, his heart was filled with fear and it was pitch black all around him. He couldn't help but worry whether something terrible would suddenly jump out of the poplar forest ahead.

Hua Xin noticed that Yan Youzhi's hands were shaking slightly, and couldn't help but joked: "Are you scared? Don't worry, I will protect you."

Yan Youzhi had never witnessed Hua Xin display her skills, so he naturally couldn't imagine what her so-called protection meant.

He could only regard it as a consolation and hope that everything would be fine as she said.

However, reality is often more cruel than imagination...

"Ouch!"

The howling of wolves came from all directions, obviously they had discovered Hua Xin and the others.

"Miss, is that the howl of a wolf?"

Yan Youzhi felt like he was stuttering.

"Don't be afraid, I said I would protect you."

Hua Xin jumped out of the box and put one hand on Yan Youzhi's shoulder. The boy was so much taller that she almost couldn't reach him.

"Miss!"

One of Yan Youyi hugged her waist anxiously.

The slender waist that could be held in one hand suddenly made him feel distracted for a moment, and then he was overwhelmed with tension and fear.
