After nightfall, the temperature at the top of the mountain is at two extremes with that at the foot of the mountain.
A fire was lit in the lee, and a group of people shivering from the cold gathered around it to keep warm.
"This place is really amazing. Are there ice flowers on the pine needles? Am I right? It's summer now! Damn it!" Su Wu rolled up a quilt with Bai Yu and Su Wen, and pulled the quilt to himself. Bai Yu and Su Wen could only wear a little quilt.
Su Wen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "More than that? If you take a deep breath, your eyebrows will immediately condense with ice beads. If you don't believe me, stay away from the fire and give it a try."
It's fun, Su Wu is ready to make a move.
Wheat Sui, who was squeezed together with her sister and Bing'er, immediately rolled her eyes, "Go ahead, go ahead, don't even think about going back to the quilt again. What a fool!"
"Su Wen, you are such a villain, you even plot against your own brother! I will make your face bloom!" Su Wu reacted, roared and pounced on Su Wen.
Su Wen sneered, "There are no brothers in front of me. If you insist on provocation, don't blame my brother for being ruthless!"
In the same bed, Bai Yu was innocently implicated. He crawled to a corner pitifully and looked at the opportunity to punch Su Wu and kick Su Wen. He was extremely helpless and asked, "Why are fellow students fighting each other? I'm such a right person." Brothers have always been impartial, so we can only help both sides, which is really embarrassing!"
In the quilt opposite, Du Buguo kicked Su An over, "Xiao Anzi, don't make it too difficult for your junior brother. Let him try punching and kicking! Don't let him feel too guilty!"
The boys huddled together, and the old man sat nearby and watched the excitement. He kicked anyone who tried to climb out and kicked him back. He couldn't stay silent.
Wheat Sui and Bing'er staggered around laughing, and every time they laughed to the point of falling out of the quilt, they were pulled back by their sister.
"It's really cold on the top of the mountain, sister. At least we still have a fire and a quilt to keep warm. What do you think they are doing with those people who are hiding behind the tree trunks and watching? If you can't beat us, it won't be embarrassing. Why freeze to death? Hey!" Wheat Sui glanced into the darkness while laughing, "There must be ice scum on their heads."
"Their main task is to find out the purpose of our coming here. They don't have to do anything, but they must not lose us." Tianbao said calmly.
To be precise, the Nine Kingdoms were trying to prevent her from unraveling the poison.
The traps set were also to stimulate her, targeting Grandpa Du and others.
If anyone around her gets injured or has an accident, she can have emotional ups and downs.
Wheatear didn't care about those people who were watching, and quickly turned his attention to the other side, laughing loudly.
Bing'er didn't even care. She didn't even think of anyone watching around her.
…
The sun climbed up to the top of the mountain, and the hoarfrost ice crystals condensed on the pines on the top of the mountain quickly turned into mist.
The sound of fighting sounded again somewhere in the mountains.
It started suddenly and ended suddenly.
The frightened birds in the forest flew out in a circle and perched on the branches again, chirping.
Several black shadows lurking in the distance quickly dispersed in different directions when the sound of fighting ended.
The clouds of sadness that shrouded the deep areas of Shu Road became thicker.
"They have been here for a month and have already swept four roads! We can't defend it at all! And Su Jiuni and his team have intensified their efforts. Now they don't even leave anyone they are following alive!"
Jinniu said, Darong was stationed in the camp, and a middle-aged man was pacing back and forth in the tent, his brows crowded together could not hide his anxiety.
"The traps we have set up so far are of no use, and forcing a fight with the opponent is a waste of life. We can't go on like this." He stopped and raised his eyes, "Send a message to the master immediately and ask for instructions!"
"In addition, send a message to the other countries and invite them to gather at Daokou Pavilion to discuss important matters!"
Daokou Pavilion is at the fork in the hinterland of Shu Road.
It is unknown which dynasty built this pavilion. The eaves and pillars of the pavilion have faded over time and smell of decay.
People from the five countries gathered here, their faces were gloomy, their air pressure was low, and their aura was in perfect harmony with this pavilion.
With important matters on their minds, everyone sat on the mottled wooden benches in the pavilion and looked at each other in silence for a while.
Su Jiuni's actions were too fast, and the Nine Kingdoms went to the Four Kingdoms at once. If the rest of them didn't find a more effective way to deal with it, they would not be far away from death.
"We can no longer fight forcefully," Darong spoke first. He invited the person to discuss the matter, and he had to take the initiative. "Everyone is very clear about the current situation. As long as Su Jiuni is here, everything we do is It's useless. I suggest you just follow and monitor for the time being, and don't do anything else."
General Nansang frowned and disagreed, "If that's the case, we won't be able to stop Su Jiuni. Knowing that her coming here must be related to the poison in her body, can we just watch and do nothing? Let her cure the poison? Then the Nine Kingdoms will have even more headaches!"
"This won't work, and that won't work either. Why don't you guys tell me what to do? Anyway, I'm at my wits' end!" The man from Dongpu couldn't help but feel irritable.
The leader of Beixiang moved his eyes slightly and looked at the Yunqin man who had been silent, "Commander Mo, do you have any good suggestions?"
Commander Mo laughed and laughed, "These are all from powerful countries. In terms of national power and strength, all of you are above Mo. You still have a headache. Where can I find a good solution? Don't make fun of me."
"Commander Mo, what you said is wrong. Although Yunqin is only a small country, but it has Xiling at its back, how can we dare to make fun of you? This time, only Xiling did not make any move to deal with Su Jiuni and others. Maybe the king of Xiling has some orders to give to you. Commander Mo?"
"Oh, this is really hard to explain! Yunqin does have Xiling's back, but our dynasty is independent in its internal affairs, and everything in the dynasty is decided by our emperor. Furthermore, the king of Xiling, Sheng Ming, will not interfere at will with the size of a small country. thing. Besides, Xiling has never been involved in various disputes outside in the past few years, not just about Su Jiuni... I don’t know what the king of Xiling thinks, Mo."
Mo's slippery hands took the topic in a circle and returned to the current problem.
The other four people each looked at each other, feeling increasingly annoyed.
The matter is imminent, and it won't be long before Su Jiuni and others are here to kill them, and the two choices before them are extremely simple and crude.
To die?
Or not to die?
"Since everyone has no choice, why not listen to my suggestion?" Darong spoke again, "I have sent a letter back to ask for instructions before inviting a few people to come over for discussion. Until we receive a reply, we will stay put for the time being and continue with the people. Surveillance, if we find that Su Jiuni has found clues to the cure, we can work together to stir up trouble! This is the safest way I can think of at the moment, what do you think?"
The leader of Beixiang nodded immediately, "Considering the current situation, this is indeed the safest. At least it ensures that there are still manpower available at critical moments."
This is tantamount to destroying one's prestige, but that's the truth.
The others had no objections.
After the matter was settled, several people dispersed, and no one noticed that Darong and the leader of Beixiang secretly exchanged glances before leaving.
