Chapter 1782 - 1386: Landuoer’s Relentless Pursuit

The powder in the air immediately covered Landuoer and Commander Jin’s faces...

"What are you doing!" Commander Jin exploded immediately!

He may be a commander who puts the big picture first, but he couldn’t bear to let the woman he admired be humiliated over and over again!

"Cough cough..."

"Cough cough..."

The dozen or so people behind Landuoer started coughing from the powder, frantically brushing it off their bodies. The powder was very irritating, and hearing Commander Jin’s words, each one of them glared angrily at Gu Changsheng!

Inside the carriage, the woman lay comfortably with a mocking smile on her face, as if she was pleased to see them in such a sorry state!

At that moment, Gu Changsheng was indeed watching them with interest, looking at the fuming Commander Jin and the quietly composed though dark-faced Landuoer, raising her eyebrows in thought, this seemed to be a case of unrequited love...

Unrequited lovers were what Gu Changsheng least liked to see, but since helping them offered no benefit, she was also too lazy to get involved. So, she just watched the drama unfold!

Receiving Landuoer’s aggrieved and forbearing gaze, Gu Changsheng sniffed and withdrew her hand, her voice coming out lazily, "The smell of blood on you all will attract wolves again. I don’t fear wolves, but I’m quite lazy and don’t want to battle those little rascals repeatedly!"

Saying this, Gu Changsheng waved her hand at Yuan Bao in front of the carriage.

The wheels started to turn, and the carriage carrying Gu Changsheng and Shi Wujue moved forward again.

Landuoer watched the departing carriages with restraint, then cracked the whip and coldly ordered, "Follow them!"

Whether what that woman said was true or false, whether the powder she scattered could really mask their blood odor or not, Landuoer knew that to safely get out of Evil Wolf Valley, with just their dozen or so badly injured men, there was no choice but to follow Gu Changsheng.

With Landuoer and her men following behind, even though their horses were top-grade steeds of the grassland, the speed of Gu Changsheng and her group of five was still greatly impacted!

Under the moonlight, the two carriages led the way, followed closely by a dozen horses carrying Landuoer and her people. On this stretch of road, as expected, they did not encounter any more wolf packs. More precisely, apart from the wolves, they didn’t even meet a single living person!

With wolves gathering in Evil Wolf Valley, ordinary people would definitely not take this route through it, let alone at night when the wolves are most active. Who’d be so reckless as to seek death in Evil Wolf Valley?

Only someone as skilled and daring as Gu Changsheng would dare to pass through this valley!

"Water! Water! I’m dying of thirst with all this exertion!"

Gu Changsheng’s voice came from the carriage.

Feeling helpless, Zhou Mu handed her the tea cup from the small table with a doting expression.

After sipping a few times, Gu Changsheng called out again, "Hey, give me the snacks from your carriage. I need to fill my belly and get some sleep!"

From the neighboring carriage, Shi Wujue heard this and passed over a plate of snacks through the window...

Even though Yuan Bao and Duo Shu’s driving skills were excellent, the snacks on the plate managed to reach Gu Changsheng’s hands, without losing a single piece during the transit, much to Gu Changsheng’s satisfaction. She lay down on the blanket in the carriage and dug in heartily...

Landuoer and her group followed not too far behind the carriages, occasionally hearing the woman’s cries from the front. Whatever she called for, those two men would always respond!

"Miss, those two men are so handsome and skilled in martial arts, yet they’re just servants!" Landuoer’s maid, Ling Dang, frowned as she whispered to Landuoer who was riding alongside.

"It’s because that woman is so unfathomable. Having two such servants is only to be expected!" Thinking of the scene where Gu Changsheng effortlessly decimated the wolf pack, a shadow of complexity flickered in Landuoer’s eyes.

"Miss, since they are servants, it’s easy. If you fancy them, just prepare enough cattle, sheep, horses, and silver taels, and buy them over!" Ling Dang, a loyal maid, knowing her lady had taken a liking to those two men and knowing they were mere servants, naturally suggested.

On the grassland, servants and slaves could be exchanged for cattle, sheep, horses, and silver taels!

"They aren’t ordinary people!" Hearing this, Landuoer was indeed tempted, but considering the men’s capabilities, she couldn’t help but say.

"That’s also easy. At most, you’d trade a pasture for them. Our tribe has plenty of pastures, setting aside a pasture for those two handsome warriors is worth it. Clan Leader cherishes Miss the most, and there’s nothing he wouldn’t agree to as long as you want it!" Ling Dang promptly suggested.

Hearing this, Landuoer’s eyes flickered with a spark of brilliance. Looking around, they had not yet exited Evil Wolf Valley, so she shook her head and said, "We’ll discuss it once we return to the tribe!"

"What if they aren’t heading to our tribe?"

"Taking the route through Evil Wolf Valley, they’re definitely heading towards our tribe, otherwise they’d be taking a roundabout way!" Landuoer said with a confident smile.

She was familiar with the terrain of several hundred miles around, and didn’t even need a Geomancy Map. Passing through Evil Wolf Valley meant they were headed to her tribe, nothing else!

Upon hearing this, Ling Dang fell silent immediately!

The group of people kept moving forward under the night sky, with the sound of wheels, hoofbeats, and whips constantly echoing. Finally, at sunrise, they exited Evil Wolf Valley!

Once they were out, the grassland remained vast, but the small hills like those in Evil Wolf Valley disappeared, and the road became flatter. However, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curse because, damn it, it had started raining!

Traveling in the rain was quite difficult, especially since they were riding in a carriage. Gu Changsheng hated the wet and sticky feeling!

"This is ridiculous; the weather in the grassland changes just like a child’s face!" Gu Changsheng muttered under his breath inside the carriage.

The people following them heard this and frowned, showing a look of anger on their faces.

"That woman is really annoying. The rain on the grassland is as precious as oil, yet she calls it ridiculous!" Ling Dang glared at Gu Changsheng’s carriage with indignation, speaking to her young lady.

Landuoer remained silent.

Originally, Gu Changsheng and his group didn’t want to waste time on the road. Rescuing Landuoer’s group in Evil Wolf Valley was just a coincidence and out of boredom. But due to the unexpected rain after leaving Evil Wolf Valley, they had no choice but to delay their plan of not stopping at a small tribe outside the valley.

They had to wait for the rain to stop and the road to clear before continuing their journey!

"Ahead is the Kelie tribe, we’ll stay there for a few days!" As they got closer to the Tashi Tribe, small tribes became more frequent, and these tribes followed the example of the Tashi Tribe, settling in one place instead of nomadically moving with water. The idle ones ran businesses or worked as miners for the Tashi Tribe. Gu Changsheng looked at the Geomancy Map, pointed to where the Kelie tribe was, and spoke reluctantly.

In fact, she really didn’t want to stop; she wished to reach the Tashi Tribe as soon as possible!

However, the weather didn’t cooperate, and this was something beyond human control!

Although the rain was not very heavy, it was misty and difficult to travel. It was better to rest for two or three days and wait for better weather before continuing!

Gu Changsheng and her group decided to stay at the Kelie tribe for a while, and the carriage turned around. Unexpectedly, Landuoer and her group followed closely behind, without any intention of leaving...

"We’ve already exited Evil Wolf Valley; you don’t need to follow us anymore!" Gu Changsheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted to Landuoer’s group riding in the rain.

Her group had risked taking the route through Evil Wolf Valley, indicating they were in a hurry. The self-proclaimed thoughtful person felt compelled to remind them, lest they follow and end up on the wrong path!

On hearing this, Landuoer gave Commander Jin a glance, and Commander Jin immediately understood, saying, "We are injured and can’t continue traveling in the rain. We need to stop at the Kelie tribe to recover!"

On hearing Commander Jin’s words, Gu Changsheng did not respond further. Alright, they made a valid point! Wounds indeed shouldn’t get wet, and in this weather, it’s only sensible to find a place to properly rest and tend to the wounds!

However, this meant they’d be traveling together?

Glancing at those unfriendly eyes, Gu Changsheng felt a bit of a headache!

Was this a case of good intentions gone wrong?

She had clearly saved them, and yet received no gratitude. Not only that, she was still being thought ill of, as evidenced by the girl’s resentful look at her, clearly indicating she hadn’t given up!

Poor thing, Gu Changsheng felt that she was really not suited for the hero-saving-the-maiden scenario, for it was never her forte. It always brought trouble, and who else could it be?

The Kelie tribe was a small tribe, with only two to three thousand inhabitants. Where the Kelie tribe was located, the outskirts had sporadic Mongolian yurts, all had sturdy fences, suggesting long-term residence. Moving further in, there were buildings imitating those from the Central Plains, but much shorter and less organized, without streets and alleys like in the Central Plains!

Because of the rain, the Kelie tribe was quite lively; people were busy driving cattle and sheep and cleaning things up...

Being only two hundred miles from the Tashi Tribe, there were occasional traders passing through, so the Kelie tribe even had an inn, which delighted Gu Changsheng!

Seeing a house with the word ’inn’ written on it, Gu Changsheng immediately urged Yuan Bao to hasten the horses towards it!

The carriage stopped in front of the inn, and Landuoer and her group dismounted their horses in front of it too. Two children dressed in typical Northern Mongolian attire emerged from inside, and after settling Gu Changsheng’s two carriages, led them into the inn. However, just as Gu Changsheng and her group of five stepped inside, a cry of astonishment sounded behind them...

"My goodness! It’s Owner Landuoer!"
