Chapter 2221 Horrible
The poisonous snake didn't even have time to fight back before it was chopped into a pile of minced meat. After making sure it couldn't bite her, Wan Shufang breathed a sigh of relief and dropped the dagger.
"Strange, how can I be so skillful with a knife?" She muttered, holding on to the stone to stand up straight, and looked up at the sky.
Seeing that it was getting dark, she left the lake and searched around for a place to take shelter. Soon, she found a cave in the mountains.
Wan Shufang hid in the cave. The pitch-black cave made her a little scared. She rubbed her arms subconsciously: "It's too dark. No, I still need to make a fire."
As she finished speaking, she groped her way into the depths of the cave. Just as she was about to find an open space to make a fire, she suddenly heard a whooshing sound.
Wan Shufang became alert instantly, pricked up her ears, and peered into the darkness. The next second, she suddenly met a pair of dark green eyes. Then, those eyes seemed to be moving, causing the entire cave to shake.
"Hoohoho!"
The green eyes roared. Upon hearing this, Wan Shufang's eyes widened suddenly: "Oh no, it's a bear."
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran out of the cave without hesitation, running all the way. But the bear behind her seemed to have been hungry for a long time. At last it saw its prey and chased after it with drool.
"Hoohoho!"
In the woods, a slender woman was running around quickly to avoid the vicious bear. Her body was already covered with many scratches from branches, but she ignored the pain and continued to run away.
Seeing that she was about to be caught by the bear, Wan Shufang suddenly had an idea. With a slight movement of her mind, she accidentally took out the drug anesthetic gun from the space.
In an instant, she seemed to have picked up an old friend. She aimed at the big bear and skillfully pulled the trigger. With a bang, the anesthetic needle shot out rapidly and pierced the big bear.
The anesthetic took effect quickly. The big bear staggered and fell to the ground with a bang, breaking a small tree and whimpering a few times. Seeing that the big bear could no longer pose a threat to her, Wan Shufang breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, she was even more curious about the things in her hand. With doubts, she tried to use the space in the same way as before. Gradually, she took out a lot of good things from the space.
"So many good things, that's great. With these, I can survive. I didn't expect that I had such a secret!" Wan Shufang's eyes lit up and she put the things back.
After discovering the function of the space, he was ecstatic, his gloom swept away, and he murmured softly: "Although I don't know my name or where I come from, but right now...survival is the most important thing."
She was at the bottom of a cliff in the deep mountains, and it would be difficult for her to survive without something to protect her life.
Now that I have found the space, I can feel much more at ease.
With her thoughts swirling, Wan Shufang fired several more tranquilizer shots at the big black bear before she dared to leave and found a clean place to rest.
At the same time, on the other side of the cliff.
Chen Changli slowly opened his eyes, and all he saw was darkness. He adjusted himself for a moment, and finally, with the help of the moonlight, he could see clearly where he was.
"I'm actually... not dead yet." Chen Changli murmured, his lips feeling dry. He couldn't help but lick his dry and chapped lips, propped himself up and climbed up, trying to practice his internal energy.
But he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"puff…"
Chen Changli covered his chest with his hands, looking painful. He was seriously injured. Although he was not dead, his meridians were damaged and he could not use his energy. He could only give up temporarily and drag his heavy body against the stone wall.
The moonlight shone in from outside, and the sound of flowing water lingering in his ears allowed Chen Changli to roughly identify his location.
"There's water at the bottom of the valley. It seems like it was washed downstream. Fortunately, this cave is hidden enough, otherwise, this body would have been devoured by wild beasts long ago."
"I don't know what happened to Shufang..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing a few times and gasping for breath. After resting for a while, he forced himself to climb out of the cave.
As soon as he went out, he saw the scenery outside and was stunned for a moment. A trace of panic appeared in his eyes. He saw that there was only an uninhabited desert all around him. Apart from him, there was no other living creature.
Chen Changli gritted his teeth, stood up shakily, and walked out slowly: "Shufang, wait for me, I will definitely find you."
Without anything to guide him, he could only rely on his fragmented memories to identify the direction, walking and stopping, recovering from his injuries while looking for a way to leave.
The only obsession in his heart was to find Wan Shufang. Before he fell, he clearly saw that Wan Shufang jumped down after him.
The bottom of the cliff is desolate, with only the lonely figure of Chen Changli struggling forward.
At the same time, in Yongzhou City.
News has spread in the city that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were assassinated at the border. The emperor was furious and ordered a search for them. The secret guards sent out group after group, but found nothing.
The disappearance of the two also caused undercurrents in the court. Many people were unwilling to start a war with the Northern Di, so they joined forces to persuade the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Duke and his wife are still in danger of death, and we don't know the situation in Beidi. I hope Your Majesty will think twice before going to war."
"Da Yong has just experienced a war and is running low on food and fodder. It is simply difficult for them to sustain the Northern Expedition."
"I hope your Majesty will think twice!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the court officials standing on Chen Changli's side immediately stepped forward and angrily scolded several people.
"Asshole, the Duke is in trouble at the border, and if we just do nothing, won't the Northern Di see us as a laughingstock and be called cowards?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Duke is also doing this for the Great Yong Dynasty. No matter what we say, we cannot abandon him."
"But now Chen Changli's life or death is unknown. Do we have to risk the entire Dayong to save him?"
"We can't not save him!"
The court officials started arguing in public, and the noisy noises really annoyed the emperor. He slammed the table and roared, "Shut up!"
In an instant, all the court officials fell silent, kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"You don't need to say more about this matter. I will make the decision myself." After saying that, the emperor stood up and strode out of the court. Behind him, the sound of court officials kneeling and bowing could be heard.
He returned to the imperial study in a rage, flipped over the memorials, and yelled at his servants, "Go, go find him! We must find the Duke."
"At least, if he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead... I want to see his body."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The attendant received the order and hurriedly left the imperial study, fearing that he would be implicated by the angry emperor.
At dawn the next day, Wan Shufang walked out of the cave. She yawned, looked up at the cliff, and then took out her climbing boots from the space.
She put on her boots without any instruction, clung to the cliff wall, and climbed up carefully step by step. The cliff was steep, and Wan Shufang was extremely tired. Her delicate face was covered with sweat, but she finally climbed up.
Just when she reached the cliff, she happened to see Chen Changli's jade pendant. She wiped the sweat off her face, picked up the jade pendant curiously, and examined it carefully: "This jade pendant is of good quality, but it feels a bit familiar..."
