Chapter 434: Search the mountains! Catch them alive! _4

Zhongli Wuzhi hurriedly said,

"Things were already dangerous enough, and now, to top it off, you’ve exposed your identity too. Even if they don’t come after us, you, Mr. President... are just too tempting."

"Just stop with your nonsense."

Lu Xiaoer glanced at him.

"I advise everyone to not cause any trouble and to save some energy. The mountain trails really drain your strength," Song Lili earnestly said,

"Especially you, Zhongli. Xiaoer’s body hasn’t fully recovered yet. If she can’t keep up, you’ll have to carry an extra person."

"..."

"I’m not trying to scare you."

Song Lili deliberately emphasized this sentence.

Wen Nian pulled Zhongli Wuzhi to his side,

"What are you muttering about?"

"Nothing."

Zhongli Wuzhi was actually just joking, looking for something to mock in the midst of the tension and confusion.

People with his type of character really can’t handle prolonged mental stress.

Wen Nian glanced at him and casually asked,

"Your Uncle Zhongli doesn’t know about your trip to M country, right?"

"How could they possibly know? If they knew, could I have come?"

"..."

"What’s wrong?" Zhongli Wuzhi said, puzzled by Wen Nian’s sudden question.

"I was just thinking, if it really comes down to a desperate situation and Yue Country has to get involved in the war, how many people would hope to see me alive when I return."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I have a feeling that perhaps... someone from Yue Country has already gotten involved in this war."

Wen Nian said indifferently.

"Yue Country? Who would dare?"

Zhongli Wuzhi asked with utter conviction.

"The Lu Family wouldn’t."

"Ah Nian, you don’t really think..."

"I really do think so."

Wen Nian partly based this statement on the conversation he had with Song Lili the night before.

Furthermore, the weapons supplied to the rebel army were too inexplicably obtained.

Yue Country bordered M country, and beyond that was the island nation of Yue Country which faced M country across the sea.

Which side could it be?

"Actually, I have that feeling too..."

Song Lili, who had been listening, then spoke up.

Zhongli Wuzhi had never thought about something so far-reaching. The war in M country was M country’s own, what did it have to do with them?

"At present, there are not many in Yue Country with the financial resources to supply the rebel army with weapons."

Song Lili murmured.

Then she looked at Zhongli Wuzhi,

"What’s it to me? Why look at me with such eyes!"

"Ah Zhi, don’t overthink it."

Wen Nian patted Zhongli Wuzhi on the shoulder, "The reason I’m telling you this is so that when you return home, you’ll be more cautious."

"..."

Zhongli Wuzhi looked completely clueless.

The suspicions of Wen Nian and Song Lili were very similar, but since they were just suspicions, they could only give Zhongli Wuzhi a hint.

They couldn’t be more specific.

They walked into the mountains for nearly half an hour. The trees in the forest were all thick and stout, with towering cypress trees, giant plane trees, and ancient locust trees that were hundreds of years old.

Song Lili clearly felt that she was beginning to lag in strength.

After several days of relentless travel, and being pregnant...

The mountain was not so hot, but in the summer, after noon, the heat was truly unbearable.

Her feet faltered, and she stumbled.

With just that motion, Wen Nian, who was extremely alert, noticed and immediately supported her,

"How are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable?"

"...Just a bit tired."

Song Lili didn’t pretend to be strong and admitted honestly.

Wen Nian helped her to rest under a tree and took out water from his backpack for her to drink.

Zhongli Wuzhi and Lu Xiaoer also took the opportunity to sit down and rest.

Song Yangling, on the other hand, remained on the alert the entire way.

Song Lili closed her eyes, indeed feeling some tightness in her chest and a bit dizzy.

Wen Nian opened her clothing to help her cool down, the concern in his eyes was evident.

"Your Excellency, it’s no use just walking deeper in like this. This location seems secluded enough, why don’t we rest here first and move on later?"

Just as Song Yangling finished making the suggestion, the sounds of gunfire came from afar!

"Bang bang! Bang bang bang!..."

Listening to the direction, it was exactly where Qin Shu had driven off...
