When the two of them came out of the underground palace and hurried to find Mu Hanye, they saw him standing with Dao Hun, looking at something in a small ditch.
So Oliver became even more curious. He pulled Asher and ran over for a few steps. He saw a... corpse lying on his back in a small ditch below. Not only were his hands and feet severed, but his face turned purple, which was very hideous and terrifying.
Shen Xiaoshou's stomach suddenly churned. Although he had been in the martial arts world for many years and had experienced many big scenes, if he encountered a scene that was too exciting, Asher would immediately cover his eyes. Whether it was pampering or overprotection, in short, he had never faced such a scene so directly and closely.
Asher patted his back, then looked at Mu Hanye with dissatisfaction, "If you like, Brother Mu, I can freeze it and put it next to your bed, how about that?"
Mu Hanye thought for a while and hesitated.
Oliver almost worshiped him. Do you need to think about this? Everyone would reject it outright! Putting such a thing in the bedroom will easily cause frequent urination!
"Let's not do that." Mu Hanye touched his chin. Although he was looking forward to his queen turning pale and throwing herself into his arms, he thought that it was unlikely given his courage, so he had to give up with regret.
"This is the attire of the rebels that day." Asher said.
"Really?" Oliver didn't see it clearly just now, and he instinctively wanted to take another look when he heard that, but when he thought about that look...he decided to give up.
"That's why I said it was a good thing." When mentioning this, Mu Hanye stopped teasing, "I've checked all around here, and judging from the state of the body, it's likely that it fell from above."
"After the smoke was released in the canyon that day, the rebels first disappeared in front of us through blindfolds and tunnels, and then rushed back to the military camp. Unexpectedly, when walking through the mountain, one of them accidentally lost his footing and fell. Come all the way here." Daohun said, "This is the most reasonable explanation I can think of."
Asher raised his eyebrows, "To be so stupid is indeed on the same level as the master."
"Let's get the person up first." Mu Hanye said, "Take him back and give him to Valley Master Ye."
Oliver:...
My brother will definitely fight with you.
"Although the possibility is not great, it's good to let Ye Jin take a look." Asher said, "Maybe we can really find an antidote from this."
"Otherwise, Palace Master Qin and Master Shen should take the body back first." Daohun said, "The rest of us should continue to look for the underground hot springs. Now there is another ice lake in the underground palace. If we can melt it with the hot springs first and then blast out a water outlet, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Asher nodded, summoned the secret guards to take out the body, wrapped it up and returned directly to the camp.
"Chirp!" Because everyone has been busy recently, Maoqiu has become much more obedient. He goes to the kitchen to eat on time every day. After taking a bath at night, he jumps out, spreads his wings, waits to be dried, and then lies back in his nest to sleep. He couldn't be more sensible. Of course, part of the reason is that the snow wolf is there, so he won't be too bored.
The sun was shining brightly. After finishing the beef jerky, Maoqiu jumped off the table and ran to see Ye Jin. Seeing that he was still busy, he sighed with regret from the bottom of his heart - no one was there to do it. New clothes or something, chirp.
"Go to bed early after dinner today. Shen Qianfeng helped him fill a bowl of soup.
"Not sleepy." Ye Jin shook his head.
Shen Qianfeng frowned, "How can I not be sleepy? I just fell asleep in the middle of the night yesterday."
"Hmm." Ye Jin munched on the steamed bun absentmindedly.
"If you keep going like this, you'll be the first to fall ill before the antidote is found." Shen Qianfeng said, "Don't think about it anymore. Go to sleep after eating."
"What do you care about me?" Perhaps because of too many worries recently, Ye Jin's momentum has also weakened a lot. Not only does it not sound arrogant, but it also sounds a bit soft.
Knowing his temperament very well, Shen Qianfeng didn't say much. He just carried him to bed without saying a word after eating.
So Xiao Fenghuang, who had waited so long for Ye Jin to finish his meal, had to return home disappointed again.
Xue Lang raised his front paws and rubbed it, holding it in his mouth. Just as he was about to go out and wander around, he saw Asher and Oliver walking in.
"Chirp!" Furball became energetic and immediately spread his cute short wings.
Oliver also felt that he hadn't played with his son much recently, so he felt a little guilty. He held it in his arms and squeezed it, then wondered, "What's growing under the wings." It was hard and a little prickly, and it didn't feel like the fluffy and soft feeling before.
The ball of fur spread its wings wide to show its mother.
"It's wing feathers." Asher said from the side, "When they grow out, they will fly higher."
"Really?" Oliver was pleasantly surprised. He had grown up a little bit, which should be the most gratifying news recently...
"It's better to run around with the snow wolf recently than to be held by someone all the time. It will also make it more wild." Asher put the fur ball back on the snow wolf's back, "Let's go out and play."
The snow wolf shook itself and ran out with it. The fur ball spread its wings and fluttered in the wind, its small black eyes sparkling.
This bird with messy fur looks awesome!
"Brother Ye." Oliver opened the camp tent and was carried out by his brother before he entered. It was very miserable.
"Xiao Jin has gone to bed." Shen Qianfeng said, "I'll come back tomorrow if I have something to do."
"Why are you here so early?" Oliver looked inside worriedly, "Are you sick?"
Shen Qianfeng said, "I've been too tired recently."
"Then forget it." Oliver looked at Asher, "It shouldn't matter if we leave the body there for another night, right? It's so cold anyway."
"What corpse!" As soon as the words fell, Ye Jin's voice came from the tent.
Shen Qianfeng had a headache.
Shen Xiaoshou innocently hid behind his man. I didn't do it on purpose. I thought my sister-in-law was already asleep.
"Where's the body?" Ye Jin ran out while buttoning his clothes.
Shen Qianfeng sighed and helped him button the buttons one by one.
"Here." The secret guard put the cloth roll on the ground. "It was found near the underground palace. It should be the corpse of the rebel."
"Rebels?" Shen Qianfeng was surprised when he heard that.
Asher nodded and briefly explained the situation in the underground palace. Ye Jin immediately became interested and hurriedly asked the secret guards to carry the body to the medical tent.
"Take you back to sleep first?" Asher asked.
"I'm not sleepy." Oliver said, "I want to wait for the results."
"That's fine." Asher didn't force himself and took him to the big tent next door to wait for news. Shen Qianfeng naturally stayed with Ye Jin, thinking that if nothing could be found out after another hour, he would take him back to rest anyway.
But it turned out that he was obviously too worried, because after a moment, Ye Jin said, "He didn't fall to death."
"What is that?" Shen Qianfeng stepped forward and asked.
Ye Jin pointed to a scar and asked him, "What caused it?"
Shen Qianfeng frowned, "Wolf?"
"Yes." Ye Jin nodded, "They are scratches from wolf claws. The arms of the corpse were broken, but the legs were bitten off. It was obvious that there was a fight before death."
"You mean, this rebel army encountered a pack of wolves when they were returning from their mission?" Shen Qianfeng asked.
"Otherwise, you won't fall to death while walking." Ye Jin said, "Ordinary people can forget it if they slip and fall. They are used to crawling around in the snow."
"But the Snow Wolf King didn't seem to react." Shen Qianfeng said, "Every day I see it holding the little phoenix in its mouth and basking in the sun."
"It means that the wolves are not threatened, so the wolf king will not notice anything strange." Ye Jin said, "According to the nature of the snow wolf, it will never stop until the prey is completely eliminated, so nine out of ten of the rebels have already been eaten. It's over, this corpse is lucky, so there is still a little bit of residue left."
Shen Qianfeng: ...
This is also called good luck.
"Go talk to Asher and the others," Ye Jin said, "maybe there will be new clues."
"What about you?" Shen Qianfeng asked, "Do you still want to stay here?"
"Hmm." Ye Jin picked up a crumpled piece of metal with tweezers. "Guess what this is?"
"Mask?" Shen Qianfeng asked.
Ye Jin was surprised, "You can still see it after being so deformed."
Shen Qianfeng couldn't laugh or cry, "How can I be so stupid? I'm not Ling'er."
"Sneeze!" Shen Xiaoshou, the lying gun emperor, was sneezing next door.
Asher held the person on his lap and pulled the cloak tighter.
"These meshes of gold wire cannot block the smoke," Ye Jin said. "They are made like this to a great extent to act as a deterrent, and also to prevent being shot by arrows."
"Did the rebels take the antidote first?" Shen Qianfeng guessed.
Ye Jin shook his head, took a pair of scissors, cut open the gold mask, and poured out a gauze bag, "It's just at the nostril. I can't tell if it's the antidote, but it must have something to do with the smoke."
"Seriously?" Shen Qianfeng was surprised, "Then the vanguard can be saved!"
"It's just a guess. I'll have to try again to see if it's true." Ye Jin rolled up her sleeves and said, "Light a few more candles for me."
"It's already very late." Shen Qianfeng reminded.
Ye Jin glanced at him.
Shen Qianfeng just thought he was getting annoyed again and sighed, "It's important to help the vanguard detoxify, but you can't stay awake all the time."
Ye Jin came forward, tilted her head back and k!ssed him.
Shen Qianfeng: ...
"What are you doing!" Ye Jin turned to look at the other side, her ears a little red, "I didn't mean it."
There was a smile in Shen Qianfeng's eyes, and she gently pinched his chin.
"I know you are worried about me." Ye Jin hummed.
"Are you talking to the top of the tent?" Shen Qianfeng laughed.
Ye Jin reluctantly moved her eyes downwards and looked at him, "I have a sense of propriety. If I really wear myself out, then there will be no hope for the antidote."
"Yeah." I'm used to his usual fierce and angry look, but this time he showed a little awkward compromise, which made him even more endearing. Shen Qianfeng's eyes were gentle, and she almost wanted to carve this kind of him into her heart.
"Alright, alright, let's go find Asher." Ye Jin felt guilty when he looked at her, so she pushed him away and turned away, "I'll go back to sleep in an hour... um..."
Shen Qianfeng held the person in his arms, lowered his head and k!ssed her fiercely.
Ye Jin was held tightly by him, unable to move, and could only be forced to raise her head and accept his fiery plunder. The lips opened slightly, and immediately the tip of the hot tongue squeezed in, as if he wanted to swallow his whole body.
A familiar scent swept over him like an overwhelming force. After an unknown amount of time, Ye Jin took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist and slightly closed her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled in the candlelight, casting a faint shadow under her eyes.
"We...uh...ahem..." As soon as Shen Xiaoshou opened the door curtain, he saw his brother and his sister-in-law k!ssing each other, and he was instantly petrified. , turned around and ran out.
"What's wrong?" Asher caught him, "You were so scared that Ye Jin hung up the body?"
No! Shen Xiaoshou hung on him and said seriously, "If Big Brother beats me, you must help!"
"Why would Qian Feng beat you?" Asher put him down.
What a strong taste! Shen Xiaoshou couldn't help but sigh again. Standing in front of such a horrible corpse, he could still have such a mood.
"Ling'er." Shen Qianfeng opened the door curtain.
"I'm not here!" Shen Xiaoshou squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. Hero, you've got the wrong person.
Shen Qianfeng: ...
Asher:...
"Stop making trouble." Shen Qianfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Xiaojin asked you to go in."
"Really?" Oliver said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if we go back now, you continue."
Continue? Asher immediately looked at Shen Qianfeng with admiration.
The secret guard also expressed that he was frightened. He was truly worthy of being the leader of the martial arts alliance, and ordinary people could not compare to him.
Ye Jin gritted his teeth in the tent, "Everyone, get in here!"
Shen Xiaoshou hid behind his man. His sister-in-law was really fierce...
"Brother Qin." While they were talking, they saw that Liancheng Guyue and his group had also returned. Only Mu Hanye was not there. They guessed that he went to look for Wong Tai Sin as soon as he came back.
"Thank you for your hard work." Shen Qianfeng said.
"You're welcome, Leader Shen, it's just a matter of duty." Daohun said, "It's just a pity that we didn't find the hot spring, so we can only continue tomorrow."
"There's no rush." Shen Qianfeng said, "Everyone is tired, let's go back and rest first."
"What happened to the body?" Liancheng Guyue said, "Have you found any clues?"
Shen Qianfeng nodded, "Xiao Jin did find something."
"Really?" Daohun was surprised, "Can we go in and take a look?" After thinking for a while, he added, "Will it disturb Valley Master Ye? If so, forget it, we are not in a hurry."
After all, it is said that if you disturb him while he is seeing a doctor and getting his medicine, you will be chased and beaten...
The reputation of being arrogant has spread throughout the army and so on. He is truly worthy of being a young prince.
"Come in." Ye Jin calmed down in the tent for a long time, and finally the heat on his face subsided a little. Then he called everyone into the tent as if nothing had happened.
Naturally, the rest of the people wouldn't ask too much, otherwise they might be given the medicine or something, which would be a bit miserable.
"There are wolf bite marks on the body." Ye Jin said, "We must have encountered a pack of wolves on the way."
"A pack of snow wolves?" Liancheng Guyue frowned.
"Yes." Ye Jin pointed to the scars and showed them to him, "And judging by the claw marks, there was more than one wolf, so I guessed it was a pack of wolves."
"Wolves in the snowfield live in groups. Either you can't meet them, or you must meet them in a group. This is normal." Liancheng Guyue said, "But the habitat of the snow wolves is still some distance away from here. The nearest snowfield The temperature is relatively high, which is considered an active period for various animals. Whether they are snowshoe hares or bears, they are enough for wolves to hunt, so why would they go to the mountains to attack the army. "
"Never before?" Asher asked.
"It's hard to say whether it was true before, but according to my understanding of snow wolves, they will never attack people unless it is absolutely necessary, especially if the opponent is an army." Liancheng Guyue said, "In order to tame the wolf king, I once led people in the snow field After guarding for a while, they are very smart and have a strong sense of territory. If they do not break in without permission, the wolves will generally not take the initiative to attack humans who are stronger than themselves. "
"Where is the territory of the wolves?" Shen Qianfeng asked.
Liancheng Guyue opened the map and drew a circle on it, "Roughly in this area, there is a hot spring around it, so many animals like to gather there, and wolves are the dominant ones."
"Could it be that the rebels provoked the snow wolves first?" Oliver said, "I heard Thirteenth Mother say before that the snow wolves must avenge themselves, and they will follow the scent no matter how far away they are."
"That makes sense." Liancheng Guyue nodded, "The most likely possibility is that this army accidentally provoked a pack of wolves on their way here, so they were followed all the way here. When they completed their mission and returned, they were torn and devoured by the wolves ambushed in the mountains."
"It makes sense, but it doesn't seem like a mistake that someone who has lived in the snowfield for years would make." Shen Qianfeng frowned, "Young Master Liancheng only stayed in the snowfield for a while, but he was able to figure out the habits of the wolves. How could Zhou Jue not know?"
"For some reason, the rebels must go to Snow Wolf's territory?" Oliver guessed.
Asher pinched his nose and said, "Smart."
The secret guard stood proudly and wanted to applaud.
"Otherwise, we will split into two groups tomorrow." Liancheng Guyue said, "One group will continue to look for the hot springs and look for the bodies of other rebels nearby. The other group will follow the wolf king and go to the wolf den to see what's going on. Maybe we can find the answer."
Naturally, everyone in the room had no objection to this. After being busy all day, they were all a little tired, so they went back to rest.
A full moon rises in the sky, and the Wolf King stands on the snow hill, howling majestically at the moon.
"Chirp!" The fur ball squatted on its head, its short wings stretched straight out, and its expression was serious. You could tell it was very ferocious at first glance.
It can scare people to death casually.
It is very worthy of being painted by an artist.
"Does your waist feel sore?" Asher asked Oliver in the tent.
"It's not sour." Oliver used a large blanket to help him wipe his hair.
"You're getting stronger and stronger now, and you can climb the mountain all day without any problem." Asher said, "When we first met, you felt tired even if you walked a few more steps."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Shen Xiaoshou said with a serious expression, "If you don't marry the right person, you will be toiling every day."
Asher laughed, hugged him in his arms and k!ssed him.
No matter what, you are really likeable...
