Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Lu Yuan smiled and did not continue the topic, instead asked, "There's also Chou Niu you haven't mentioned."

Meng Qianqian shook her head, "That person... even I don't know much about him. Like Mao Tu, he's after Chu Nan."

Lu Yuan said lightly, "No matter, if they're on the same path, all the better. If not, then we'll meet them in battle."

By the fire, Tan'er woke up and started calling for her sister with a hoarse voice.

Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan returned to the group.

Tan'er rubbed her somewhat dizzy head, "Sister, what's wrong with my head?"

Meng Qianqian fed the water bag to her lips, "You took a nap, have some water."

Tan'er drank obediently from Meng Qianqian's hand.

Tan'er said strangely, "I had a very long dream, dreamed of our mother!"

After speaking, she suddenly thought of something and quickly lowered her head to tug at her collar.

Seeing the jade pendant was still around her neck, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Regarding the woman on the small portrait, Meng Qianqian planned to find a more suitable time to ask.

Tan'er looked at everyone, "Everyone is found now, huh, Brother Chen Long, why is your back hurt?"

She ran over to Chen Long, squatted down, and tilted her head to examine him.

In her memory, Chen Long had never been injured before.

She was very curious and also a bit regretful, feeling like she had missed out on a fortune.

"Talk about the next plan."

Chen Long spoke up, he really didn't want to be examined by a little girl for his injuries.

Ji Li opened his folding fan, "We originally planned to find Xu Zhongping, but seeing your state, Xu Zhongping will be hard to find."

Chen Long scoffed, "Even you have moments of cowardice, remarkable."

Ji Li snapped his fan shut, "Hey! Don't make it sound so harsh. I'm not chickening out, I'm just speaking frankly. Among us, you're the strongest, and even you almost died..."

"Who?"

Chen Long asked warily.

Ji Li was about to send an inner strength attack towards the forest but was stopped by Lu Yuan.

"It's me!"

Shang Wuyou came out of the forest panting heavily.

He had somehow stolen a set of black armor that clearly didn't fit well, hanging loosely on his body.

Meng Qianqian's eyes lit up, "Wuyou!"

Shang Wuyou stopped in front of her, panting, staring blankly at her.

Someone he once despised immensely, upon meeting again, he felt a bit aggrieved.

That wicked woman watched too closely, and he barely managed to escape.

To evade her chase, he didn't even dare to make a fire, and he left in such a hurry that he didn't bring any food.

He was so hungry he ate a wild fruit, only to be pelted by a group of wild monkeys.

His hand was scraped, his knee was injured, and he was lonely fleeing in the forest. At night, he even encountered a wolf pack...

"Wuyou."

Meng Qianqian raised her hand, wanting to touch his reddened eyes.

He turned his head, quickly wiping away the tears that were about to fall, "I'm not crying!"

Damn it!

Can't control it!

Stop it!

No crying allowed!

Shang Wuyou ended up crying like a child.

"For someone your age, still shedding tears,"

Lu Yuan threw him a handkerchief.

"I said I'm not!"

Shang Wuyou took the handkerchief, wiped his tears, and blew his nose, "Here, it's yours."

Lu Yuan: "…Keep it."

Meng Qianqian pulled Shang Wuyou to sit by the fire, tearing a rabbit leg for him.

He devoured it in large bites, filling his cheeks, evidently very hungry.

Meng Qianqian tenderly brushed his bangs from his forehead.

Shang Wuyou's cheeks turned slightly red.

He sniffled, then asked seriously, "Did you come to take me back?"

Meng Qianqian smiled, "Yes, I came to take Wuyou back. After sending you away, not a day passed without me missing Wuyou, regretting my decision deeply."

Ji Li's mouth twitched.

Who would believe such nonsense?

Shang Wuyou, holding the rabbit leg, said, "I knew it was like that!"

Ji Li was dumbfounded.

Shang Wuyou asked gravely, "So, will you send me away again in the future?"

Meng Qianqian replied softly, "No, I swear."

Shang Wuyou raised his chin, "Hmm, that's more like it."

Meng Qianqian took out two wild fruits, "Have some wild fruits. I picked them especially for you, thinking I'd give them to you once we met."

Shang Wuyou nodded, satisfied, "Hmm."

Seeing Shang Wuyou being coaxed like this, Ji Li was utterly at a loss for words.

"I didn't mean to escape."

Finished eating, Shang Wuyou took the initiative to explain why he was here, "I have a message for you. I have the trail Gu you gave me on me, and I followed the Gu worm to find this place."

Meng Qianqian gently patted his head, "Wuyou is really amazing, have you always been this amazing since young?"

Shang Wuyou, being flattered, couldn't help but grin, wishing he could hang two wine flasks, "Well, the tutor has praised me like this since I was small."

The few grown men really wanted to punch this kid.

Meng Qianqian gently asked, "What is the important message that Wuyou had to risk his life to deliver?"

Those words "risk his life" gave Shang Wuyou a sense of mission.

His face turned serious, "The Crown Prince Mansion is in trouble."

Emperor Liang has recovered his memory and recalled the grievances with Miaojiang, immediately ordering the arrest of the Miao King.

The Miao King and Emperor Liang fought fiercely, moving from the Imperial Study Room to the Imperial Garden, and then to the Cold Palace.

And then, they disappeared.

Prince Jin immediately entered the palace, insisting that the Miao King had kidnapped Emperor Liang.

And since the Miao King is the Crown Prince's father-in-law, surely the Crown Prince is also involved.

Prince Jin then led officials to the Crown Prince Mansion to demand people.

This was the message that the Hunting Eagle brought back to the Crown Prince Mansion.

To avoid leaving any traces, the note Lu Zhaoyan tied to the Hunting Eagle's leg was burned by Shang Wuyou.

Lu Zhaoyan and Liu Qingyun are in extremely dangerous circumstances.

The Miao King and Emperor Liang's whereabouts are unknown.

Currently, in the court, Prince Jin is presiding over the situation.

Meng Qianqian said, "We need to find Xu Zhongping quickly."

Ji Li gritted his teeth, "I'll capture Song Yingzhong!"

"I'll take you to see the Great General."

Accompanied by a deep voice, a tall figure slowly emerged from the forest.

He was clad in black armor, his expression stern.

It was Huo Ting.
