Get pregnant quickly: Jiaojiao relies on giving birth and is favored by the boss

Chapter 386: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (31)
Lin Yan's expectation of staying a few more days did not happen. She was not an important maid in the Xianyang Palace, but Ye Xiao was a relatively important subordinate of the emperor.

So when the whistling wind sounded again, hurried footsteps were heard outside the cave.

They seemed to have seen the fire in the cave, so they walked over here one by one holding torches. The footsteps were a bit messy, and there were also a few happy voices.

"Found it! Found it!"

The two people who were not asleep looked at each other, with a hint of vigilance in their eyes.

Since they couldn't go out, they could only gamble that those people outside were the Royal Guards, the royal family, the ones who were helping them. If they were the men in black, then they could only consider themselves unlucky.

The two held their breath, feeling the passage of time, and listening to the footsteps getting closer, they both felt a sense of nervousness.

Lin Yan rubbed her messy hair, wiped her depressed face, and tried to make herself look more energetic. If it was an enemy, she would cheer up and maybe she could find a chance to escape.

"Master Ye!"

Someone broke in. He was wearing armor, his hand was still on his sword, he looked anxious and a little happy. Then he shouted to the people behind him: "I found Master Ye!"

Then he turned around and found that there was another person in the cave. And that person was a woman, wearing the clothes of a palace maid, and now looked a bit like a beggar.

As if she felt his gaze, Lin Yan shrank back into the wall awkwardly, curling up into a ball, as if this would help protect herself.

Ye Xiao glanced at him and said nothing, but just said to the man: "Take me out."

"Yes, my subordinates take orders!"

The man noticed that Master Ye looked very weak and powerless, and he must have been in some danger. It was mainly because of the bodies lying on the ground in the forest. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have known that an assassination had taken place in the hunting ground.

Seeing the two people about to leave, Lin Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally followed them out of the cave.

Feeling the puzzled expression on his subordinates' faces, Ye Xiao casually explained, "I was poisoned and she saved me."

Just this light sentence made the subordinates' faces change. They looked down on the little palace maid just now, but now they immediately became respectful.

Then he clasped his fists towards her and said, "Thank you, young lady, for saving Lord Ye!"

Lin Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "No need to thank me, no need to thank me. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. It's my duty."

After she finished speaking, she felt Ye Xiao's intriguing gaze.

Thinking of the things I said in front of him before, the words that were meant to be used, my face turned red in an instant. I felt guilty, so I didn't dare to look them in the eye.

The forest was not easy to walk in at night. It was quite remote. I didn't know how a woman like her could lead people to go further and further away. If it weren't for the traces left along the way, it would be difficult to find them.

The most important thing is, how did she save Lord Ye? No matter how you look at it, there seems to be no connection between the Ninth Prince and this palace maid?

Even though there were many questions in everyone's mind, they just hurried on their way silently. After all, it was not safe at night, and since the person had been found, they would definitely take him back first.

Who would have thought that after escaping the snake's attack, they also disturbed many small animals and ran away, and finally encountered wolves with green glow on their way. More than a dozen wolves stared at them eagerly, as if they were looking at their prey.

The wolf king made a warning sound, not because he was hungry, but because he regarded them as opponents. He probably thought that so many of them came to occupy the territory.

How could humans and wolves communicate? Moreover, these people were not ordinary people, so it was easy for them to deal with these wolves.

Ye Xiao was supported by someone and stood in the middle of the crowd. He was still very weak, and the remaining poison had not yet been cleared. He even needed help to walk. But his cold eyes were full of murderous intent. Although it was these wolves that attracted the men in black before, at this moment, they were hostile.

Because Lin Yan was his savior, she was also protected by these guards. They were all tall and strong and looked very safe.

The wind howled at night, and there seemed to be a few shrill screams in the wind, but they seemed to be hallucinations. There were also a few mocking sounds, as if they were mocking the self-importance of human beings.

The two houses stood on each side, staring at each other. The wolves were waiting for the wolf king to give orders, and these guards were naturally waiting for Ye Xiao to speak.

The moonlight at night was not very bright, so I could only vaguely see the number of wolves by torchlight, as well as the faint green light in the night. It was a very creepy scene, but if there were more people, it would not be so scary.

Lin Yan swallowed her saliva, she quietly moved a step towards Ye Xiao, and asked softly: "Master Ye, can I still go back alive? I don't want to die."

I don't even want to rewind and start over.

She only had three chances, and she didn't want to waste any of them. If she was thrown into the punishment world, she didn't know what would happen. She wasn't afraid of any punishment, but she was afraid that if time went on for a long time, she would forget the children in the orphanage.

Longevity has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantage is... after a long time, you will gradually lose yourself.

Seeing her nervousness, Ye Xiao did not comfort her, but just glanced at her without saying anything. Then he looked at the wolf king opposite, and it was obvious that neither side had the intention of retreating.

If that's the case, then we have no choice but to go to war.

Only the wolf king howled, and the surrounding wolves began to move.

Ye Xiao also gave orders, requiring all the wolves to be killed.

Wolves are social animals and they hold grudges very well. If you don't kill them all, they will probably come back with other wolves to seek revenge next time. So there is no other way but to kill them all.

Vision is impaired at night, but wolves' vision is not affected, so in this situation, humans are inevitably at a disadvantage.

But this is not a problem. They are well-trained guards and naturally have the ability to solve the problem. It is just a matter of time.

While the guards in front were fighting, Ye Xiao calmly looked at the woman beside him and suddenly said, "You won't die."

Lin Yan was stunned for a second, then remembered that this should be the answer to the previous question.

The image of this man in her heart changed again. Maybe she should find out what happened to this man? Or maybe she could find a breakthrough?

"With Lord Ye's words, I feel relieved."
