Chapter 462: The Nourishing "Rat Meat"
"Let's go and take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Guo tightly grasped the sword with a broken blade in his hand and listened attentively to any movement outside the cave.
As the heavy footsteps got closer, his heart involuntarily rose to his throat.
It seems that this will be a fierce battle!
He was secretly anxious, wondering whether A Jin, who was out looking for someone, would be able to return in time to help.
Two burly men holding torches slowly approached the small cave entrance. One of them showed disdain and said with a curled lip, "Wuyun, this cave is so small, I'm afraid only the children in the tribe can fit in."
"Brother, I heard from the brothers on the battlefield that those foreigners are short in stature. Especially that dog emperor and his family, who used to jump around in the deep mountains and old forests, and their bodies were not much bigger than the monkeys in the circus."
The other man said as he put the torch into the cave.
"I don't know how deep this cave is, it's perfect for people to hide in."
"No, the entrance to this cave is too small. We'll easily get stuck if we go in. If the cunning aliens take advantage of the opportunity to attack, none of us will be able to escape."
After much discussion, the two men finally decided to use the smoke method commonly used to catch rabbits to force the person to show up.
Prince Guo was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat when he heard the two men's evil plan.
At the end of the cave is a solid stone wall with no ventilation at all.
If the cunning Gentiles lit a fire at the entrance of the cave, he would be in danger of suffocating.
Prince Guo was never one to sit and wait for death. He cut off a piece of his clothes and poured the little water left in the water bag into it.
Tie the wet corner of your clothes around your mouth and nose, and wait for the opportunity.
He is unable to move around easily now, and if he goes out he will fall into the hands of those two people.
If the two men went to collect firewood far away, he could take the opportunity to escape and find another hiding place.
If the two of them lit a fire now, he would wait in the cave for a while. Maybe Ah Jin would see the light here and come back in time to protect his master.
The worst outcome would be that he would pick up the burning firewood and throw it at the two men in order to hope for survival.
The two people outside were discussing something when Wuyun saw a fire moving in the distance. He quickly lay on the ground to listen, and then reported anxiously.
"Brother, there are horses galloping in the distance. The sound of their hooves is completely different from that of our tribe. I'm afraid they are sent by foreigners to find the Dog Prince. Should we avoid them?"
Wulan looked into the distance in horror. The person who had once been stationed on this land was General Nian Gengyao, who had quelled the Qinghai rebellion.
Although he died young, he had countless capable people under his command, and they are still stationed in the northwest.
If these foreigners who sneaked in to cause rebellion were captured, they would be punished by having their skin peeled off and their tendons pulled out.
The appearance of a large group of people means that the dog prince of the alien race is nearby, and it is very likely that he is hiding in the cave behind them.
Wu Lan was unwilling to leave like this, so he gently poked Wu Yun beside him, signaling him to be quiet.
Then he quickly took out a large ball of hay from his pocket, poured all the powder in a black bottle on it with great care, carefully blocked the hole and lit it.
Since we can't force him out now, let him sleep in there.
After the people and horses left, the two brothers tried to find a way to drag the people out.
In the darkness, a ball of flame was thrown in from the cave entrance. Prince Guo thought that the two people outside threw it in in a hurry to explore the way, so he didn't take it seriously.
The wet cloth covering his mouth and nose was enough to deal with the smoke.
But before long, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
He had clearly slept from day to night, so why did he suddenly feel sleepy again?
When he realized that there was something wrong with the flame he had just thrown in, he immediately raised his hand and slapped his injured leg.
The severe pain made him sober for a short while, but he eventually succumbed to the strong drug.
The last thing Prince Guo heard before he lost consciousness was the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the cave.
Outside the cave, a group of masked men in armor suddenly reined in their horses. The neighing sounds that came one after another startled the resting birds, causing them to flutter out of their nests.
The leader raised the torch sideways to illuminate the dark night sky and shouted orders.
"This general has received news that the noble man was last seen nearby. We must find him."
He pointed casually, "You...you...and you look to the east, you...you...and you look to the south...look to the southeast."
In the end, only a skinny soldier who looked like he had stolen some adult clothing was not assigned to the search mission.
The general looked at him with a headache and pointed behind him.
"There's a small cave there. You're small, so go search it."
"General, I have received your order and will go right away."
The soldier agreed and ran into the cave.
Holding a torch, he carefully explored the traces on the ground. After a few steps, he saw scattered dead grass and burnt black ashes on the ground.
He was delighted, thinking that someone had lived here, most likely in the cave.
The thin soldier saw a leg sticking out from behind the big rock and immediately drew the sword from his waist.
When that familiar face came into view, the corners of his mouth opened silently: It was worth it that he ran all the way from the prosperous capital to the barren frontier to suffer, it turned out that God was waiting for him here!
They were really destined to meet. The person who had let the dog bite them just now actually fainted right under their noses.
This is truly a godsend!
If he doesn't do something, he would be unworthy of being the grandson of General Nian.
About half a minute later, the thin soldier came out of the cave.
The general who was pulling the two horses saw him holding his stomach and asked unhappily.
"Are you having diarrhea again due to unfamiliar climate?"
The skinny soldier scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Brother, you really understand me. I really showed off my strength this time. When I get back, I will definitely train well with you brothers."
"Okay, I'll take you there myself."
The general was afraid that the old man's deceased friend's descendants would be dehydrated, so he took him to a sheltered valley to boil water for him to drink.
In her heart, she complained about the old man's unreliability and his insistence on forcing the tender and delicate young man into her care.
While the general was out collecting firewood, the thin soldier quickly threw the handkerchief and the things wrapped inside into the fire. He randomly stirred the burning firewood a few times until the handkerchief was engulfed and he felt relieved.
The general who came back with firewood smelled the tempting aroma of meat and glared at him in dissatisfaction.
"Did you secretly hide some meat when you went out? Give me a piece, or I'll beat you up!"
"Brother, what's burning in the fire is a mouse I caught in the cave. If you're interested in trying it, I'll dig it out right away."
When the general saw the thin soldier picking up a stick and trying to stir up the fire, he quickly spoke out to stop him.
"Stop it now, kid! I'm not even greedy for rat meat!"
The skinny soldier came closer with a giggle, "Brother, I heard that rat meat is very nutritious, don't you want to try it?"
The general cursed with a smile.
"This old man's treasured deer penis wine was given to him by General Younian. Is there anything better than that... Hey! You bastard, you actually dare to try to trick me..."
