I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

140 Scheme!

Gao Xuwei was speechless.

Pei Qian knew that Gao Xuwei coveted Lin Suisui.

It was also because of this that Pei Qian was so confident when he came out of Lin Suisui’s tent just now! After all, for a man, if a woman he liked saw him in his current situation…

That was a nightmare!

!!

“But you can’t just ignore me!” Gao Xuwei suppressed his anger again and again. When he looked at Pei Qian again, he had already calmed down.

He had to go back!

This was a big deal. He couldn’t delay any longer!

“Nephew, how about this? We’ve been delayed here for a long time. Why don’t we set off tomorrow?!” Gao Xuwei weighed the pros and cons and quickly made a decision.

He immediately looked at Pei Qian and begged, “As you know, it’s winter in the north, so the snow won’t stop! Why don’t we just go on the road? At most, we’ll walk slower on the way?!

This way, you can finish this official business early and report back. Everyone will be happy!”

“Uncle, have you forgotten that the woman who came with you has just given birth? How are you going to make her travel with us?!”

Pei Qian lowered his eyes and reminded calmly.

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to send them to the Emerald Cloud Nunnery to recuperate?!” Gao Xuwei didn’t take this matter to heart at all. How could a woman who was basically crippled be more important than him?!

As long as he was fine, be it women or children, he could have as many as he wanted in the future!

“That was the arrangement previously, but they can’t leave for the time being!” Pei Qian turned around and looked at Gao Xuwei calmly. “Not only can they not leave, but even you can’t leave now!”

“Why?!” Gao Xuwei was about to lose it again when he heard Pei Qian’s words. He glared at Pei Qian and said angrily, “Why can’t I leave?! Alright, alright, alright. If you don’t leave, I’ll leave!”

As Gao Xuwei spoke, he was about to walk towards the door. He had to call for help and inform the soldiers he had brought over to leave immediately. He had to leave now!

“I’m afraid that’s not possible.” Pei Qian reached out and stopped Gao Xuwei as he advised calmly, “Uncle, do you know why I want your seal to get reinforcements?!

That’s because a large wolf pack has already gathered outside our camp.

If you choose to leave now, can you escape from the wolves with your hundred-odd soldiers?!”

Pei Qian’s words made Gao Xuwei’s face turn pale. He had been in the north for a long time, so he naturally knew how terrifying the wolves in the north were!

Over the years, although the north had become peaceful, because of the previous war, a large area of this place was deserted, allowing the wolf pack to have an excellent environment to reproduce!

Usually, the wolves wouldn’t gather in groups. Be it the residents in the north or the passing caravans, they could easily deal with scattered wolves!

In addition, there was usually enough food in the forest, so the wolves wouldn’t take the initiative to go against the passersby!

However, as long as it was winter, when the snow sealed the mountain and food was severely scarce, the wolves would gather in groups, as if they had been summoned.

In order to survive, the wolves had attacked villages, towns, and even military camps!

After he arrived in the north, he didn’t use force against foreign enemies. Instead, he had instructed people to kill the wolf packs quite a few times!

However, the occasional small-scale massacres weren’t very lethal to the wolves in the north! They were active inside and outside the border. Be it the pasture outside the pass or the forest and plains inside the pass, they were battlefields for them to forage and survive!

Therefore, as time passed, most people in the north didn’t go out anymore!

Even if they wanted to go out, they would definitely return home quickly before dark. Otherwise, if they encountered hungry wolves, the consequences would be dire.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?!” Gao Xuwei’s first reaction was to roar at Pei Qian. If he had known that there were wolves gathering around, he wouldn’t have stayed here!

He must have gathered his men and returned immediately!

At that time, there weren’t many wolves. If he wanted to escape, he had a high chance!

However, the person in front of him was despicable and shameless. He hid everything and only revealed it now!

“I’ve already arranged for Qian He to look for you twice, but every time, you said that you were busy, so I had no choice but to continue waiting!”

Pei Qian glanced at Gao Xuwei perfunctorily. His patience was about to run out!

He was even beginning to consider how much it would affect his overall arrangements if Gao Xuwei, the general who stabilized the north, was gone.

“Wait for what?! Wait for those wolves to gather?! Pei Qian, do you know how terrifying the wolves in the north are?!” Gao Xuwei was extremely anxious. He made up his mind. He gritted his teeth as he walked to the bed at the side of the tent. Then, he took out an ordinary-looking red sandalwood box from the already ruined bed and threw it to Pei Qian. “Didn’t you want to send troops? I’ll give it to you! But you have to think of a way quickly. If we delay any longer, we’ll really lose our lives!”

Gao Xuwei actually still wanted to run, but he didn’t dare to really take action!

It would be fine if he could escape safely, but if he really encountered another wolf pack on the way, then…

“Don’t worry, Uncle. I’ll definitely think of a way to protect you first.” Pei Qian nodded at Gao Xuwei with a smile.

After Pei Qian obtained what he wanted, he temporarily comforted the irritable Gao Xuwei. Then, he turned around and left the tent without any reluctance.

Gao Xuwei was right about something. The current situation couldn’t be delayed any longer!

“Do we still have eagles?!” Pei Qian walked towards his tent before stopping and turning to ask Qian He, who was beside him.

“There are still two left.” Qian He took a step forward and replied very quickly, “We only brought six eagles with us this time. The others haven’t returned yet.”
