Ji Feiyu immediately understood. Her whistle... Flower Butterfly was very familiar with it. So, the originally flawless encirclement failed because Flower Butterfly deliberately let them go. Otherwise, it would have been really hard to break out of Bei Han's encirclement.
Yong Yaxuan silently watched the two of them catching up, not disturbing. But when he met Flower Butterfly again, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions, thinking about what Flower Butterfly had said to him before.
If it weren't for him, Yong Yaxuan might never have known what he had done wrong in his life. If it weren't for him, he might not have been able to correct some mistakes. He was actually grateful to him in his heart, even though those words had once hurt him deeply.
Flower Butterfly didn't recognize the person deliberately staying behind them as Yong Yaxuan. He thought it was just an ordinary guard protecting Ji Feiyu. After all, with Yong Yaxuan's pride, how could he let the two of them catch up in peace?
So he winked and said, "Yu'er, you don't know how many things I've done for you since we last parted. I really gave that jerk Yong Yaxuan a good lesson."
Hearing this, Yong Yaxuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
Ji Feiyu looked back at him with a smile. Seeing that he deliberately avoided her gaze, she deliberately asked Flower Butterfly beside her, "By the way, weren't you captured by Yong Yaxuan before? How did you get out?"
Flower Butterfly said proudly, "Of course he let me go willingly. Let me tell you, I really taught him a lesson. You don't know the look in his eyes when he last looked at me. That hatred. You'll be really happy when you hear it."
Ji Feiyu was actually quite happy now because the person involved was right behind them, and she didn't plan to tell Flower Butterfly.
Ji Feiyu held back her laughter and said, "Really? When did you become so capable that you could teach him a lesson?"
Flower Butterfly said, "Hey, what else? He's always been so self - important. I just made him wake up!" Flower Butterfly didn't dare to mention Ji Feiyu's sad past, so he stopped there and tried to change the topic. "I just treated his wounds a bit roughly. To be honest, if you hadn't asked me to stay and help him detoxify, I wouldn't have let myself be captured on purpose. Otherwise, he couldn't have caught me at all." The implication was: I'm really capable. Don't look down on me!
Hearing this, Yong Yaxuan couldn't help but hold his forehead. But when he heard the latter part, he suddenly felt happy. So it was Ji Feiyu who asked Flower Butterfly to stay. Then Ji Feiyu wasn't that heartless to him after all. The light in his eyes suddenly brightened.
Although Ji Feiyu didn't look back, she knew what Yong Yaxuan would think when he heard this. So she immediately coughed lightly and comforted Flower Butterfly, "Yes, yes, you're the most capable. It's really been hard on you this time." She really dug a hole for herself.
Flower Butterfly said, "Well, it wasn't that hard. But there's one thing that might make you happy. Do you remember Yong Yaxuan's hands? Weren't they burned? Guess how it happened!"
Hearing this, Yong Yaxuan immediately coughed violently behind them.
Flower Butterfly looked at him strangely and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Yong Yaxuan waved his hand while coughing. Ji Feiyu said, "Don't mind him. Keep talking." She was really a bit curious. Could it be that he really did something bad and was punished by fate?
Flower Butterfly said, "Oh, okay! His hands were damaged when he was digging through the still - warm ruins to find you after the fire in the cold palace went out. He dug them bit by bit!"
Hearing this, Ji Feiyu was completely stunned.
Flower Butterfly continued, "You said he deserved it! I heard that later his hands blistered and festered. For a long time, his hands were wrapped like zongzi and were basically useless. His hands hurt and he couldn't do anything. Thinking about it carefully, it's quite pitiful. After I heard about this, I treated him better later. I thought he should still have feelings for you... So don't be angry with him anymore."
Hearing this, Yong Yaxuan wanted to leave their group. He couldn't follow them anymore. Just then, Zhan Shan caught up. Yong Yaxuan said, "Let's change someone."
Under Yong Yaxuan's signal, Zhan Shan had to step forward and follow Ji Feiyu. Then he watched helplessly as Yong Yaxuan turned his horse around and galloped in another direction.
Yong Yaxuan thought that this matter shouldn't trouble Ji Feiyu. This was his decision and he never regretted it. But he didn't want Ji Feiyu to be kind to him out of guilt. If she hadn't forgiven him, he could keep paying and waiting. But he just didn't want her to pity him.
Ji Feiyu watched Yong Yaxuan's figure disappear. Her heart felt as if there was a big stone blocking it. Flower Butterfly saw her strange expression and said, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"No... It's nothing." Ji Feiyu suddenly felt a bit sour in her heart. She said to Zhan Shan, "Don't you need to follow him? We..."
Zhan Shan interrupted her and said, "He won't go far. Don't worry. We have signal flares to contact each other."
Flower Butterfly looked at Ji Feiyu strangely and said, "We have to hurry. We need to find a place to stay before it gets dark. Otherwise, there might be wolves in this area."
As soon as he finished speaking, they heard a wolf howl.
Flower Butterfly couldn't help but stick out his tongue. Ji Feiyu glared at him fiercely. What a crow's mouth!
Night slowly fell, and their three horses galloped forward.
Not far away, Yong Yaxuan heard the wolf howl and quickly rushed towards Ji Feiyu.
Wild wolves on the wasteland always appeared in groups. It was no joke. Fortunately, he still had some arrows left, but he still hoped they wouldn't encounter the wolf pack.
But the more you were afraid of something, the more likely it would happen. As night fell, the galloping horses attracted the nocturnal hunters on the grassland.
Pairs of yellow - glowing eyes lit up in the grassland. They were once the overlords of the grassland, blood - thirsty and cruel.
When they found the three people moving quickly, the wolves rushed out and chased after them. The horses were frightened and began to run in different directions. The three people were separated at once, and they couldn't control them at all! The wolf pack also split into three groups and chased them respectively.
When Yong Yaxuan rushed over, he saw this scene. Without thinking, he chased after Ji Feiyu.
Jingyun was quite calm. After all, the Second Prince had taken him hunting wolves before. But now there was Ji Feiyu on Jingyun's back instead of the Second Prince. Ji Feiyu was still very scared when she saw the wolves chasing after her. She began to look for weapons in the saddlebag. Fortunately, she found a fire starter. When she felt around again, she even found a dagger lying at the bottom. It seemed that God didn't want her to die.
Just as she took out the dagger and moved forward, suddenly an arrow shot over in a hurry and hit a wild wolf that was about to pounce on her leg.
Ji Feiyu looked back and saw the small figure of Yong Yaxuan in the distance holding a bow and rushing towards her nervously.
