Chapter 552 Alien Wolf vs Noble Queen (24)

Penglai was isolated in the high mountains, and during the survival of many tribes, the villagers near the river were still able to accept outsiders, and the transactions went smoothly.

But the further you go into the mountains, the more tense the atmosphere becomes.

When Ning Xi decided to enter the mountain, he met Liang Yuanchu's suspicious eyes.

He looked at her with a half-smile, not knowing what he was thinking.

If it hadn't been for the prime minister of Yongzhou, he really thought that Miss Ning's posture was opening up a business route to the deep mountains of Penglai!

What kind of fox is Cheng Guiyi, how could he send someone here just for business.

However, he is still unable to confirm the identity of Miss Ning, even though Ning is the current national surname.

Ning Xi glanced at Liang Yuanchu indifferently, and it was difficult for anyone to figure out her thoughts with her expressionless face.

……

Yongzhou, in the capital city.

"Prime Minister!"

"Several secret works have been mixed into the palace, and they have already been taken down."

The young and handsome prime minister didn't raise his head, he was busy reviewing the papers, but the bruises under his eyes were a bit heavy, which showed that he was too tired during this time.

He opened his thin lips lightly, "The review is over?"

"It's all been reviewed."

"It's people sent from Bingzhou. They want to find out about the queen."

The ink brush in Cheng Guiyi's hand paused, and a drop of ink fainted.

"Go back."

Cheng Qi looked at Cheng Guiyi, hesitated to speak, since he came back from the queen and told the prime minister everything about the queen, the prime minister was not in a good mood.

I also blame him for talking too much, why did he bring up the matter of Wei Yi and the Queen.

Seeing that Cheng Qi hadn't left yet, Cheng Guiyi frowned, "What else is there?"

"Master, take care of yourself." Cheng Qi sighed in his heart when he went out.

The prime minister is so busy, no matter how young and strong his body is, he can't stand it.

What's more, the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou are fierce, even if there is still a long distance from Yongzhou, once the war starts,
I hope the prime minister can hold on.

……

On Ning Xi's side, he and the local villagers quickly determined the route into the deep mountain.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, coupled with the acclimatization of the environment, Ning Xi couldn't hide the tiredness on his face at all.

The queen's body is already delicate, so how could she have suffered so much, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is still holding on.

Naturally, Wei Yi has been paying attention to Ning Xi's situation. Apart from him, there is Qin Wu. Qin Wu sighed and winked at him.

He immediately took a step forward and supported the queen who was a little unsteady in her steps.

Ning Xi took advantage of the situation and leaned her body towards him, using her strength to walk, and soon heard his soft words.

"Miss, I will help you go first."

Ning Xi nodded, and glanced at Wei Yi. After walking such a long distance, he was not weak at all, and his body was too strong.

Wei Yi caught her gaze, "Are you busy?"

"Wei Yi, if only I could be as good as you." Ning Xi's tone was mixed with a bit of envy.

Hearing her gaze, Wei Yi suddenly had a ridiculous idea.

It is not impossible for the queen to practice martial arts with him since childhood.

His thoughtful gaze made Ning Xi quite curious, "What are you thinking?"

Wei Yi felt a little guilty, and quickly came back to his senses, "I was thinking, you don't need to be like me, but if you want to make your body stronger, if you want, I would like to take you to practice some exercises to strengthen your body."

I thought the Queen would refuse, but unexpectedly she responded with a smile, "Okay."

It is not so easy to enter the deep mountains of Penglai. Ning Xi personally made the route according to the coordinates given by the system and the guidance of the villagers.

Resupply along the way needs to go through several tribes, not to mention, she came here in the name of trade, so she has to put on a show.

Insects, snakes and miasma frequently occur in the remote mountains. Even if Ning Xi changed her dress into long trousers, she still got caught.

She felt her face and neck itching.

When Wei Yi saw the red scratches on her neck, he frowned, "Miss, are you okay?"

Ning Xi didn't expect this, and felt uncomfortable all over, "It's not very comfortable."

"Be patient, it's still a day away from the next tribal village."

Ning Xi nodded casually, and the buzzing of mosquitoes was everywhere in her ears, making her feel restless.

Wei Yi observed the surroundings more carefully along the way, collected a lot of citronella that repelled mosquitoes and relieved itching, and mashed them with bamboo tubes for the Queen.

As the evening approached, the villagers who led the way took them to spend the night in the thatched huts they had built during hunting.

The best room was assigned to Ning Xi according to the usual practice. With Qin Wu around, Wei Yi couldn't share a room with her like he did together.

He handed the crushed lemongrass juice to Ning Xi, "Miss, apply the juice to the itchy area before going to bed, so you can go to bed earlier."

As he spoke, he put the bamboo tube containing lemongrass juice on the small bamboo table in the thatched cottage.

Ning Xi looked at Wei Yi who was running under the big tree outside the thatched house to keep watch for the night, and raised his chin, "The back of the neck was also bitten by mosquitoes, how can I apply it alone?"

When Wei Yi heard it, he didn't know what he thought of, and his ears were inexplicably red from what she said.

When he entered the thatched cottage with the queen, he seemed to be stared at by Qin Wu, and the unnaturalness in his heart was even worse.

"Here, I'm sorry to trouble you." Ning Xi handed him the bamboo tube, and then lay down on the bed.

Qin Wu had brought someone over to lay the bedding on the bed early on, and outside, he couldn't suffer the queen no matter what.

She lay prone on the bed, opened some collars, revealing a small red bump on her fair neck.

Wei Yi felt a stabbing pain in his heart, he was negligent, if he had prepared the mosquito repellent medicine earlier, maybe the queen would not have suffered these crimes.

He is a rough man who lived in the grassland since he was a child, and spent all day in the military camp when he grew up. He knows too little about women, and the queen is too delicate.
Bitterness and depression stirred in her heart, it was too late now, the only way was to give her medicine and let her rest earlier.

Ning Xi felt a coolness on her neck, no itching, and felt much better. After walking for so long, she couldn't help falling asleep while Wei Yi was applying the medicine.

The next morning, when Ning Xi opened her eyes, she thought that Wei Yi had already slipped away to avoid suspicion, but she didn't expect that he was resting on her bed with his sword in his arms.

"Are you awake? How do you feel? Is it still itchy?" Wei Yi was very alert. When Ning Xi moved a little, he opened his eyes.

Ning Xi turned to him, "Can you check?"

Wei Yi really checked carefully, the red envelopes have faded a lot, but there are still some traces.

Ning Xi turned over and looked at him lying down, "Wei Yi, I'm still itchy."

Wei Yi pursed his lips tightly, feeling so guilty that he wished to pay his own life, and he didn't want the queen to be injured in the slightest.

Ning Xi's heart skipped a beat, no way, this man is too careless.

She stretched out her hand to take his big hand, and asked, "Wei Yi, what's the matter?"

Wei Yi felt that he failed to take good care of the queen, and he felt very guilty. Before that, he wanted to take the queen to wander around the world without shame. If such a thing happened, he would not be able to forgive himself.

"It's okay." He shook his head.
