167 Mr. Pei, Save Me!

“You left your horse outside the door?!”

Although the northern barbarians spoke strangely, Pei Qian, who understood what was going on, almost had a heart attack.

“Where else should I have left it?! I didn’t intend to come in to rest. I only stopped to take a look because Little White came in!” Lin Suisui turned to glance at Pei Qian and replied confidently.

If not for the fact that he had delayed her in the Mountain God Temple, she would have already ridden away. How could she have encountered such danger and been blocked by northern barbarian soldiers?!

“There are only three of them. I’ll stop them. Go behind the shrine. There’s a half-broken window there. If you climb out, you can go straight to the back…”

Before Pei Qian could finish speaking, he saw Lin Suisui run away from him quickly, rendering his unfinished advice like “Don’t worry about me. Take care of yourself first” instantly useless…

How heartless!

Sighing, Pei Qian drew his sword and turned around to dodge to the side. He was waiting for the three northern barbarian soldiers outside to enter so that he could take them by surprise.

Pei Qian was already prepared to face the enemy. On the other side, Lin Suisui had already climbed out of the broken window. Perhaps because her landing posture wasn’t good, she fell into the snow.

Fortunately, the snow behind her was deep and thick. Otherwise, she would have suffered a bad fall.

After struggling for a long time, Lin Suisui crawled out of the snow nest and saw Little White jumping excitedly in the snow as it ran towards the mountainside not far away. Little White usually only acted like this in one situation—

when Lu Ze returned from hunting on the mountain.

So…

Little White must have found Lu Ze’s whereabouts!

Lin Suisui was delighted. In that case, with Lu Ze to help, Pei Qian would be saved!

Although Pei Qian always thought of ways to test her and Lu Ze and wasn’t a good person, to be honest, he hadn’t done anything to hurt them!

Besides, he was in danger this time because she had placed the horse at the entrance of the Mountain God Temple.

Whether it was on purpose or not, she couldn’t ignore him and leave him in the lurch!

Lin Suisui struggled forward in the knee-deep snow again. After rushing forward for a while, when she looked up again, she could only see Little White’s claw marks on the snow…

She held onto the nearby tree trunk and panted twice. After resting for a while, she continued walking.

After walking for about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the path outside the village that Lin Suisui had actually walked through previously.

Little White had disappeared from her sight. Glancing at the footsteps, Lin Suisui sighed helplessly. If she had known that this was the way, she would have entered the village directly and saved herself the trouble!

Lin Suisui panted as she crawled forward in the snow for a while before arriving at the fork in the road that led to the Mountain God Temple.

“Roar!”

At this moment, Little White was already standing steadily in front of a dilapidated house in the village and handed her a letter. However, Lin Suisui had only taken two steps forward when she realized that she was unable to leave!

The sound of horse hooves came from behind. Without looking back, she could guess that there were many northern barbarians on this trip!

Lin Suisui turned around to look at the group of people riding over from behind and then in the direction of the village. When the northern barbarian soldiers behind her shouted for her to stop, she turned around and rushed towards the Mountain God Temple at the side without any hesitation…

On the other side, Pei Qian had just killed the last northern barbarian soldier who rushed into the Mountain God Temple. He was panting slightly as he supported himself with one hand at the entrance of the temple when his attention was attracted by Lin Suisui’s scream in the distance.

“Mr. Pei, save me!”

As Lin Suisui ran over with all her might, she screamed miserably like a rabbit chased by wild wolves.

Pei Qian frowned. Just as Lin Suisui rushed forward, he saw the hundred-odd light cavalry that had been attracted by her scream.

“Mr. Pei, save me ~” Lin Suisui didn’t seem to see Pei Qian’s shock. She pounced over and shrank behind him while trembling in fear.

“What are you doing?!” Pei Qian suppressed his urge to strangle Lin Suisui and gritted his teeth as he asked the culprit behind him.

“My husband and the others are in the village beside us.” Lin Suisui hid behind Pei Qian and whispered, “If they hadn’t discovered me, these people definitely would have entered the village to set up camp at night time!

Wouldn’t it be dangerous if they were discovered?!”

“Then won’t we be in danger if you lure them to me?!” Pei Qian was so angry that he laughed. For the sake of Gu Erlang’s safety, this wretched girl was really willing to risk everything!

“Besides, if you want to save your husband, you can sacrifice yourself. Why did you lure them to me?!”

“I’m a weak woman. What can they do even if they catch me?! It’s definitely not as useful as catching you!” Lin Suisui blinked and replied matter-of-factly, “Look, haven’t they been lured over now?!

Don’t be angry. I’m doing this for your own good!

“Think about it, the evidence is with my husband now. If you can sacrifice yourself to buy them some time, it’ll be considered selfless sacrifice!”

“Then should I thank you?!” Pei Qian gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to throw Lin Suisui out. Instead, he protected her and took a few more steps back into the Mountain God Temple.

“Mr. Pei, long time no see!” King Gu Han rode forward and sized up Pei Qian, who was guarding the entrance of the temple. He looked at him with a fake smile as he chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect us to meet again on such an occasion!”

“I didn’t expect you to be so bold as to enter our territory without permission!” Seeing King Gu Han sitting on the horse, Pei Qian cursed inwardly.

Although King Gu Han was easier to communicate with than ordinary northern barbarian generals, they had met in the capital before!

Previously, when the northern barbarians sent an envoy to see the emperor, the fourth prince was in charge of receiving them. Naturally, he was dragged along. As for King Gu Han…

He was an old acquaintance who had drunk at the same table as him back then!
