Chapter 1001 – What A Strong Smell of Blood!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the mountain path, they traveled non-stop for nearly two hours.
The rain stopped, but the sky was still dark.
Wei Cang rode on his horse and led his elite guards to follow behind the carriage.
He had always been on high alert when traveling in such a wilderness.
At this moment, a soft call sounded from the carriage behind him.
“Dudu!”
A vein popped up on Wei Cang’s forehead.
He didn’t want to pay attention to Gu Nuo’er’s call. It sounded like he was calling her family’s dog!
“Dudu!” The child called out to him persistently.
Her entire body was leaning against the window, and her childish voice sounded from time to time.
Wei Cang couldn’t take it anymore and turned to instruct his deputy general.
“Yuan Gu, go and see what she wants.”
“Yes.”
Deputy General Yuan Gu turned his horse around and came to the carriage.
Gu Nuo’er had just woken up and her soft black hair was a little messy.
However, under her thin willow eyebrows, her big eyes flickered like clear gla.s.s.
The child saw that it wasn’t Wei Cang.
She asked, “Where’s Dudu?”
“The governor has to lead the way and doesn’t have time to come over. If Your Highness has any instructions, you can look for me.”
Gu Nuo’er pouted unhappily. “Can you make decisions? I want to stop in front.”
Yuan Gu was stunned.
Stop?
This was probably…
“Let me ask the governor on Your Highness’s behalf.”
The deputy general spurred his horse and returned to the front.
When Wei Cang heard Gu Nuo’er say that she wanted to stop in front, he rejected outright.
“We can’t stop. We have to leave the capital before dawn tomorrow.”
Otherwise, with so many elite soldiers by Gu Yihan’s side, they would definitely catch up.
The deputy general then went to pa.s.s a message to Gu Nuo’er.
When the child heard this, she crossed her arms in dissatisfaction. Her fair and sparkling face was filled with displeasure.
“He’s unwilling to stop in front, right? Then I won’t care about you guys anymore. Something happened in front. I’m going to jump out of the carriage!”
After saying that, she closed the window with her small hand and was about to jump out.
This frightened Deputy General Yuan Gu!
He shouted, “Stop!”
The coachman hurriedly pulled the reins.
The surrounding guards also hurriedly pulled the reins of their horses tightly.
The neighing of horses rose and fell.
Wei Cang, who was at the front, ran over on his horse and scolded Yuan Gu angrily, “Who allowed you to pa.s.s down orders privately?!”
Yuan Gu looked helpless. “If we don’t do that, the princess is going to jump off the carriage.”
The carriage was moving so quickly. She was so thin and tender. If she really fell, wouldn’t she immediately lose her life?!
Wei Cang turned his head, his eagle eyes surging with coldness as he stared at Gu Nuo’er.
When the child saw that the carriage had stopped, she obediently sat back down.
Facing Wei Cang’s faint anger, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she raised her small chin calmly.
“Dudu, you may be angry now, but you’ll thank me for saving your life later.
“Something has happened ahead and we can’t go over now. However, if you want to bring me away, you have to consider breaking out of the situation.”
Her words were like a thunderclap.
This made Wei Cang’s expression suddenly turn serious. “What does the princess mean by that?”
Gu Nuo’er leaned against the carriage window and rested her chin on her small hand. Her cheeks were pink and her watery eyes were filled with innocence.
“Smell it carefully. What do you smell in the wind?”
Wei Cang and the surrounding guards immediately calmed down and sniffed carefully.
Yuan Gu’s expression turned cold.
He exclaimed in a low voice, “What a strong smell of blood!”
He was in a hurry just now and didn’t notice it.
Gu Nuo’er nodded. “They’re not my father’s people. There must be trouble ahead.”
