Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

Li Yanran was eager to get an answer from her husband to prove that her choice was correct.

Compared to Li Yanran's helplessness, Chu Xiaxiong was more reserved. But his gaze towards Chu Ci lasted for a very long time.

Similarly, Chu Ci felt as if he had been locked in a dark room for a long time. Until a loud voice of "There is a wolf——"

Chu Ci suddenly woke up and opened his eyes, only to see that the men had spontaneously picked up sticks and surrounded the elderly, the weak, women and children.

It was already dark, but a group of gray figures could still be seen in the twilight. Chu Ci knew that they were a group of hungry and ferocious wolves. Accompanied by a terrifying wolf howl, some timid children were frightened and cried, but their mouths were tightly covered by their mothers.

"Don't cry, crying will attract the wolves."

The child did not understand the meaning of his mother's words, but children are the most sensitive and they can also sense the mother's nervousness. Gradually, the child stopped crying.

However, the panic on everyone's faces did not subside, because the wolves on the opposite side were gradually approaching, gathering and surrounding them. Then, they kept running and howling around the crowd, trying to find the weakest point in the crowd as a breakthrough.

The people on the outermost edge clung to each other tightly, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

But the long-term tension caused the muscles to cramp. Soon, the running wolf seized the opportunity and pounced on him. The wolf's mouth was wide open, and the shining wolf teeth were particularly scary.

It is instinctive to retreat in the face of danger, and there is nothing wrong with that. But because he took a step back a little, he brought himself a greater disaster. Just as he had dodged the bite of the first wolf, the second wolf pounced on him.

Chu Ci's scalp tingled when he read it.

Fortunately, the people around him reacted quickly and smashed the wolf's head with the stick in their hands. The wolf could not withstand the heavy blow and flew backwards. However, there was a gap in the original team.

A wolf seized the opportunity and pounced on the women and children inside. The target was Fan Jingheng, who was not far from Chu Ci. Chu Ci ignored the tingling scalp and held the ice arrow in his hand again. "Xing'er, aim."

bump--

The ice arrow hit the wolf's eyes, and the huge impact pushed the wolf far away. With Xing'er's help, Chu Ci was very fast. One, two, three...

The pressure from the outside suddenly eased, and they realized that someone was helping them. So, everyone instantly burst out with amazing courage and strength, and with the cooperation of Chu Ci, the wolves gradually fell into a disadvantage, and the blood stained the ground red.

However, they seemed unwilling to retreat just like that.

Wolves are intelligent animals. Logically, if they suffer heavy losses, they will choose to retreat. Chu Ci suddenly thought of something: "Someone is controlling these wolves——"

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a whistle sounded in the distance. The wolves immediately went crazy and launched a desperate attack.

For a while, there were shrill cries one after another, and many people were injured.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Chu Ci was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. This was the first time she felt so powerless since she came here.

Therefore, she did not notice that two figures took advantage of the chaos to sneak to the other side. They were the secret guards who had been following them.

Fortunately, the opponent's strength was not high, and the secret guards captured him in just a few breaths. "If you don't want to die, make those beasts stop."

The knife was pressed against his neck, leaving him no choice. The wolf quickly stopped attacking, retreated, and then merged into the depths of the forest.

At this time, everyone was injured.

The soldiers and men who were escorting outside were in particularly bad condition, and were almost covered in blood. "No, we can't stay here any longer. Cover the bloody smell from the wounds with soil and leave immediately."

Everyone knew the seriousness of the situation, and no one was willing to hold back at this critical moment. In just three minutes, everyone packed up and set off.

On the other side, in order to prevent the person who controlled the wolf pack from causing trouble again, the secret guards directly removed his jaw and disabled his limbs. Due to time constraints, there was no time to pass on the message, so they threw the man into Chu Ci's carriage. "At most one day, I will have someone take him away."

The exaggerated silver earrings and silver necklace, paired with a conical hat with feathers, and a brown loose robe, the patterns embroidered on the robe were not the style of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Instead, they looked like the national costumes of the men in southern Xinjiang in the previous life.

However, she knew very little about this era and could only look at Fan Jingrui standing beside her. "Husband, do you know who he is?"

Fan Jingrui did not hide it: "Judging from the attire, it should be unique to Southern Xinjiang. However, I have only heard that Southern Xinjiang is good at Gu magic, but I have never heard of the art of taming beasts."

The answer was expected, but also unexpected. There was no trace of the Southern Xinjiang people in the original book, but now they appear and want everyone's life. "Has anyone in the Fan family offended the Southern Xinjiang people?"

Fan Jingrui shook his head: "Although Nanjiang is a vassal state of the Great Zhou, it is isolated from the outside world. They basically do not communicate with the outside world, and even intermarriage with foreigners is a taboo. Not to mention offending them, it is difficult to even see people. The reason why I know the clothing of Nanjiang is because of a medical book."

"Is it a medical book about the poison in southern Xinjiang?" Chu Ci remembered that in some novels in his previous life, it was written that if the poison was cultivated to the extreme, it could turn the hand to make clouds and rain, and even communicate with heaven and earth. So, is there also a poison that can confuse people's hearts?

Chu Ci murmured in a low voice. "Husband, do you think the appearance of this person is related to Chu Ling'er?"

Although Chu Ci's voice was low, Fan Jingrui still heard it. "Chu Ling'er? Why do you have such an idea?"

Chu Ci shook his head. He couldn't say that this was based on speculation from the original book, right? The point was that the current plot had collapsed to such an extent that even his own mother couldn't recognize it. "It's just a feeling."

When Fan Jingrui mentioned the feeling, an idea flashed in his mind. "Could it be that you and Chu Ling'er are also poisoned by Gu? Something like the mother-child Gu."

Although Chu Ci suspected that Chu Ling'er had a poisonous insect in her body, he had never thought of himself. When he thought that there might be a worm in his body, Chu Ci felt uncomfortable all over. "No way, I shouldn't be so unlucky, right?"

Fan Jingrui wanted to say that his wife was indeed unlucky, otherwise how could she have ended up in the Chu family. But seeing that Chu Ci had goose bumps all over his body, he stopped talking.

However, this made Chu Ci even more anxious. But there were tens of thousands of items in the space, and there was really nothing related to poison.

As for the ready-made person in front of him, forgive Chu Ci for not being brave enough, the poison is hard to guard against, if there is no poison, wouldn't he be walking into a trap? Chu Ci thought to himself.
