It was night, and a group of two-meter-tall strong men surrounded the bottom of the deck. Ao Wu and Yun Wuzhen also rushed to Hang Shiqi's side. They stared at each other while the mold was melting away.
"Ahem, it's me. Long time no see, Zong Yao." Hang Shiqi took off the holster on his head and shook his head.
Zong Yao looked at Hang Shiqi, and then at the "sculpture" next to him that was half a head taller than him. His expression was not overly surprising, but rather as if he had expected it: "The person next to him should be His Highness the Wolf King.
"
Ao Wu casually pulled off his hood, confirming his guess.
Yun Wuzhen looked at Ao Wu and then at Hang Shiqi, and finally his eyes fell on Zong Yao: "You know?"
Zong Yao rubbed his head: "It's not difficult to guess. The young prince and His Highness the Wolf King have a very good personal relationship. At this time, the goods are being transported back to the north. The time is so tight and no one else is allowed to inspect the goods. It's impossible no matter how you think about it.
Question?"
Hang Shiqi originally thought that his plan was perfect, but he didn't expect that Zong Yao saw through it from the beginning: "Then you are still willing to agree? Are you not afraid that I am a cocoon orc and will be together with the cocoon rat?"
Zong Yao sighed: "Don't say that, we are friends after all. Personally speaking, of course I believe you. I don't believe the Huo Yu tribe's rhetoric, and grandpa probably doesn't believe all the Huo Yu's rhetoric, but the situation is like this now
, he must show an attitude and cannot act entirely based on his own ideas. Your Highness, the Wolf King, is also the leader, so you should be able to understand the frustration."
Ao Wu nodded slightly: "It is not easy for the Iron Bear King to remain neutral."
"Fortunately, I can still be the master of this boat." Zong Yao's eyes drifted to Yun Wuzhen: "Besides, the young prince condescended to touch my tail, and the money was so generous. I originally wanted to
I earned money by pretending to be stupid, so I'm doing you a favor. If things come out later, it has nothing to do with me as a ship's crew. I didn't expect that my stupid subordinates would have to tell the truth and embarrass everyone.
"
After Zong Yao finished speaking, he got angry and kicked his hand: "It's haunted, it's haunted. Everything looks like a ghost every day. It's haunted ten times a day. Why did I accept a good-for-nothing fool like you?"
The big man looked aggrieved: "Then if he dresses like that in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be scary?"
Zong Yao was so angry that the big man acted like a cowardly bear that he had a headache and scratched his head: "Forget it, that's it for now anyway. We didn't see anything tonight, so we just treat it as sleepwalking. You can continue to hide in the warehouse later, and I will always take care of you."
You guys are safely sent to Yuehua City, what happens next is none of my business."
"Thank you, brother." Hang Shiqi thought that Zong Yao still chose to believe him even though he was wanted by the seven royal families. He stepped on his feet and knocked Zong Yao on the chest with his fist: "You helped me twice."
"They say we are brothers, why are you so polite?" Zong Yao waved his hand and said: "It's a good thing for you to go back. The Wolf King is back to take charge. Quickly find out about the cocoon rat thing. It will be easier for me to do business.
"
"If your business is not doing well, you can come to me. I, Yuntian Pavilion, have shipping orders all year round. I have many customers who also have delivery needs, so I can introduce them to you." Yun Wuzhen praised Zong Yao sincerely:
"I can't tell you, a big guy like you, are quite affectionate and kind."
"That's not necessary." Zong Yao glanced at Yun Wuzhen's tail: "If the young prince has any unmarried female brothers and sisters of suitable age, you can introduce them to me."
"Unfortunately, my brothers and sisters are all married, and I am the youngest." Yun Wuzhen hid his tail behind his back: "Besides, are you marrying a wife or a tail? I'm afraid of being introduced to you, and I haven't arrived yet.
When you get married, your tail will be bald."
"That won't happen. We armored bears love our wives very much." Zong Yao stared at Yun Wuzhen's beautiful side face and said something out of nowhere: "If you are like the young prince, the gender rule can be relaxed appropriately."
Yun Wuzhen raised his head in disbelief and pointed at himself: "You said I look like a girl?"
"I'm not...you're not a mother, but, I mean, if Yunhu is as good-looking as you, I don't mind marrying a male." Zong Yao smiled with white teeth, looking a little silly.
Yun Wuzhen turned his face to one side and raised the corners of his mouth with some pride: "Then you are overthinking it. I am the most beautiful in the Yunhu clan. I can't find anyone second in the world."
It was night when we arrived at Yuehua City. The ship entered the port, and the things were unloaded and pulled into the dock. The city defense team came over to inspect.
Since the cocoon rat caused trouble at the dock last time, the security here has been tightened a lot. Ships going in and out have to check the goods one by one, and the identities of the people on the ship will also be checked one by one.
The leader was Ao Tong. It was his turn to be responsible for the night watch tonight. I didn't expect that there would be a ship entering the harbor from the pier so late. As soon as I got closer, I saw Yun Wuzhen jumping from the deck onto the shore.
"Young prince?" Ao Tong saluted Yun Wuzhen, but his expression was a little wary. After all, Yun Hu's attitude had always been ambiguous when he came in. Ao Tong was not sure whether Yun Wuzhen's late night visit was an enemy or a friend.
"Put the goods down first." Yun Wuzhen greeted Zong Yao: "Put it down and leave."
Zong Yao understood that he did not want to get involved too much in this matter and get into trouble, so he nodded and asked the crew to move the boxes to the dock.
At this moment, the crew members all knew that there was a box containing a real person. They moved carefully and carefully, and slowly and leisurely placed the boxes on the dock. They looked at Yun Wuzhen with some reluctance: "Well, see you later, little prince. I need it.
You can come to me at any time for shipping, and if I touch my tail, you can get a discount."
"What a beautiful thought." Yun Wuzhen grabbed Zong Yao's clothes, pulled his big head closer to her, and whispered: "I'll give you twice the price. You can forget about touching your tail that day and don't mention it again in the future.
.”
"That's not possible." Zong Yao smiled with his white teeth: "I've touched the little prince's tail and even touched the other fur, but I still don't feel happy. I can only rely on this memory to survive in this life."
"..." Yun Wuzhen's cultivation did not allow him to curse at Zong Yao, so he could only push the person to the boat and said coldly: "It's getting late, Mr. Captain, please take the person away quickly."
In this case, Yun Wuzhen drove Zong Yao away, while in the other case, Ao Tong's inspector opened the box where Hang Shiqi and Ao Wu were.
"Hang..." The man who opened the box had patrolled with Hang Shiqi before and was familiar with him. He never dreamed that one day he would be taken out of the broken wooden box at the dock, let alone the Wolf King.
Ao Wu put his index finger to his lips to signal the other party to be silent, and ordered him to call Ao to come through. Ao Tong vaguely knew that Ao Wu was away in the city, but he was still startled and whispered: "Boss."
Ao Wu lay in the box and ordered: "Don't make any noise when I come back. There are many people at the dock, so move us into the warehouse. If you have anything to say, go and talk inside. In addition, find someone to inform Ao Jing to come to the dock. Let him come alone.
.”
"yes."
When Ao Jing arrived at the dock, Ao Wu was sitting on a pile of cargo boxes, with his long legs stretched forward casually, and his face was a little sickly pale. Hang Shiqi leaned next to him, saw Ao Jing, and waved happily: "
Brother Ao Jing, long time no see."
Ao Jing was not very good at laughing at the moment. Ao Wu had not been here for a month, and he felt like he had aged ten years because of worry: "Boss, you are back."
"Thank you for your hard work," Ao Wu asked directly without any extra greetings: "How is the situation?"
"It's not good. The Fire Feather Tribe is pressing hard and you haven't shown up. In addition, the news of your appearance in Southern Xia has spread to the North. The White Tower, the Council of Elders and the Chamber of Commerce have all guessed that you are not in the palace."
Ao Jing became angry when he talked about this: "The high priest has been helping you cover up, but the Council of Elders and the Chamber of Commerce are really bullying you. They actually took advantage of your absence to unite to put pressure on the high priest, saying that you are not worthy of the position.
That’s why the Northern Territory is now besieged on all sides, requiring the replacement of the Wolf King. Then hand over Hang Shiqi to quell the war.”
Ao Wu coughed twice and said with a sneer: "It seems like they can do something."
"Boss, are you injured?" Ao Wu noticed that Ao Wu's face was really not very good.
"It's okay. I was slightly injured when I bombed the underground palace, but I'm almost healed." Ao Wu said, "Go and tell them that you can change to the Wolf King if you want. I'll see you at the martial arts competition tomorrow. If they think they can beat me,
Feel free to come."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Hang Shiqi listened from the side, and the more wrong he became, "You're going to fight before your bones are fully healed? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Ao Wu said to Hang Shiqi: "I can't fight. They don't know about my injury and they don't dare to fight me."
"What if?" Hang Shiqi was still worried.
Ao Wu: "Then let him understand that the wolf king is majestic and cannot be overstepped."
"We still have to fight." Hang Shiqi lowered his ears and said unhappily: "Forget it, I know you can't do anything about this kind of thing. Don't worry, if you hurt your bones again in the fight, you won't be able to heal.
It doesn’t matter if you are so disabled, I don’t dislike you. At worst, I will push you in a wheelchair and take you around the world. From now on, I will be my husband and you will be my wife, and we will..."
Seeing that Hang Shiqi's words became more and more outrageous, Ao Wu couldn't bear it and pulled him into his arms: "You also want to rebel?"
"I'm not. I'm rebelling. Aren't I afraid that you won't be able to do that in the future..." Hang Shiqi glanced down as he spoke.
"I can't?" Ao Wu grinded his teeth and said.
"I mean just in case." Hang Shiqi whispered with a guilty conscience.
Ao Wu stretched out his hand and tapped Hang Shiqi on the forehead, and said with a smile: "There is no such thing as this."
"Oh." Hang Shiqi rubbed his forehead unconvinced.
Ao Wu did not return to the palace, but quietly took Hang Qi to the White Tower.
Shuang Yu received the news and brought the healing priest Shuang Ming to greet them: "I heard from Ao Jing that your highness is injured."
"Has the high priest rested?" Ao Wu asked.
"Wei Zeng, because of the dispute with the Presbyterian Council these days, Teacher, he hasn't closed his eyes for several nights." Shuang Yu sighed: "Now that you are finally back, Teacher, he can feel at ease."
Ao Wu lowered his eyes, a little apologetically: "It's me, or not, that made the high priest worried."
"Just come back safely. You're doing the right thing, so why apologize." A voice came down from upstairs along with the sound of footsteps.
"High Priest." Ao Wu bowed.
"This is called Chen Mu. Is he very powerful? What about the plot to kill the old wolf king? Why have I never heard of you talking about him?" Hang Shiqi tilted his head and asked Ao Wu worriedly.
"He is seven years older than me, and he is the oldest among our group of trainers. I don't know if he is strong or not, but he just takes advantage of his age. When I turned fifteen, he discovered that I was a threat to him, and he started
Poison the old wolf king."
"Poisoned? Isn't he sick? So the old Wolf King was poisoned and caused forgetfulness, so he chose to abdicate at such a young age? Then he died early?" Hang Shiqi asked.
"It's poisoning, and being sick is just a cover-up to cover up the scandal. Chen Mu thought that he would be the only one to take the position a few years ago, but he didn't expect that the old wolf king would become even more strict on our training because of his illness. He himself
Unable to hold on any longer, he withdrew from the Wolf King competition early. His plan at that time was to wait until Ao Jing and I were defeated by the old Wolf King, or simply die during the selection process. The old Wolf King had only a few years to live due to poisoning, and he would be the
The best one among the remaining people will naturally take over this position."
"It's so despicable." Hang Shiqi clenched his fists in anger: "What happened next?"
"Later I put him on death row, but because of the interference of the Chamber of Commerce and the Council of Elders, I could not take action against him. They were right, I had no evidence. I only saw and heard it with my own eyes. But I had no evidence. No evidence,
Even if I am the wolf king, I cannot execute a member of my race at will." Ao Wu's tone became darker, with a sense of deep hatred and helplessness.
"Ah." Hang Shiqi raised his hand and hugged him distressedly: "Don't be sad, you have managed the northern border very well. As for the old wolf king's revenge, you are not in a hurry. Look now, the opportunity will come soon?
"
"Yeah." The corners of Ao Wu's lips tightened into a straight line, and his eyes turned downward: Yes, the opportunity has come. On the ring, no matter life or death. If he dares to go up, he will kill himself.:,,,
