After an unknown period of time, Wei Cang called out softly from outside the carriage again.
“Your Highness.”
Gu Nuo’er had already fallen asleep with the wolf cub’s body as her pillow.
Hearing this, her thick eyshes fluttered. It took her a long time to rub her misty eyes and sit up.
“Dudu? Have you found the way?” The child lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Wei Cang nodded and said in a low voice, “The scout we sent out encountered a nearby viger.
“He said that this is the only path in the past. I’ll leave a few guards here to move the gravel, making space for the carriage to pass through.
“Before this ispleted, let’s go to their vige to stay for the night.”
After Wei Cang finished speaking, he saw that the ck wolf cub had jumped into Gu Nuo’er’s arms.
It sat steadily in the child’s arms.
When it heard Wei Cang’s words, a trace of human-like disdain shed across its ck spiritual eyes.
Wei Cang looked at it fixedly and saw that the little ck wolf was sitting calmly as if what he had seen earlier was just his imagination.
Gu Nuo’er hugged the wolfie tightly with her small hands and said, “Alright then, I’ll listen to Dudu’s arrangements.”
“However…” The child was a little puzzled and stuck her head out of the carriage window. “The moon has already gone to sleep at this hour. Why are there still vigers wandering outside?”
Gu Nuo’er looked to her right. Not far away, a guard was holding a torch and talking to a viger holding antern.
The viger was over 50 years old and wasn’t too old. He was wearing simple clothes and looked extremely ordinary.
He was also carrying a basket in his hand.
Wei Cang also had this doubt just now, but after asking the viger, he received an exnation.
“That viger said that he originally wanted to rush to a nearby town to sell eggs before dawn.”
Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes and nodded to express her understanding.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the viger turned to look in the child’s direction.
His gaze carefully sized up Gu Nuo’er.
Gu Nuo’er’s sleeve was bitten by the little ck wolf, so the child had no choice but to retract her head back into the carriage.
Outside, Wei Cang arranged for 30 to 40 soldiers to move the rocks.
They had to strive to be able to set off at dawn.
The remaining people would apany him to protect the princess and temporarily stay in the nearby vige to rest for the night.
They would also need to feed their horses and replenish rations.
Gu Nuo’er felt the carriage turn.
The little ck wolf jumped out of her arms and sat at the side, its small body very stable.
However, his words revealed Ye Siming’s familiar disdain and ridicule.
“A mere general from the Xili Empire can’t even see through such a trick. He’s really stupid.”
Gu Nuo’er’s round eyes immediately lit up.
“Elder Brother Siming, there’s something wrong with this viger, right?”
“Elder Brother Siming, there’s something wrong with this viger, right?”
As if to match his current wolf cub’s height, Gu Nuo’ery on the floor and rested her chin on her two small hands.
She blinked her watery eyes, her eyshes long and fluttering like butterfly feathers.
She raised her two small feet behind her and swayed them, looking rxed and content.
Ye Siming couldn’t help but think of how things went when Wei Cang hade so suddenly just now.
He turned back into his wolf form and was stuffed under her dress.
It made him so embarrassed that he almost couldn’t find a way out.
Thinking back to just now, an unnatural look shed across his ck wolf eyes.
His small wolf tail swayed unconsciously.
“Don’t ask. Just hold onto me tightly if you are afraid and don’t leave me at any time.”
Gu Nuo’er reached out her small hand and gently covered his little wolf paw.
“It’s a deal!” The child smiled, her eyes curved, and her fair face was delicate and cute.
“Elder Brother Siming, no matter what, I won’t leave you,” she said softly.
Ye Siming was stunned.
She said that she would never leave him.
