The White-haired Queen

Chapter 123 The Frightened Sheep

As the city gate slowly closed, Wen Lanyue led the delegation on a new journey. Their figures gradually moved away and disappeared into the distant sky. Shangguan Xin and the staff who stayed at the city gate silently watched the direction they left, their hearts full of expectations and hope.

The delegation, armed with customs documents, entered the territory of the Northern Cang Kingdom without any hindrance. It would take half a day to a day of horseback travel from the border to the Northern Cang Kingdom's court.

Along the way, Wen Lanyue deeply felt that the terrain here was open and flat, the vision was vast and boundless, and the population was relatively sparse. The nomadic people were open-minded and generous, showing great tolerance and enthusiasm for foreign visitors. Whenever the delegation entered a tribe, it would cause a lot of commotion.

If it were not time for meal or rest, Wen Lanyue and others would continue to move forward.

About an hour after they entered the Northern Cang Kingdom, a sturdy and strong man with a white turban appeared in front of them. At this moment, he was desperately chasing the frightened sheep.

The sheep seemed to be frightened by something, and suddenly they fled in all directions, making rapid and sharp bleating sounds, as if to tell people that they were in extreme danger. They ran around in panic, trying to find a safe place to hide. Some sheep jumped high like roaring lions, while others lowered their heads and rushed around. The whole flock of sheep fell into chaos in an instant.

Faced with this situation, the shepherd did not panic. He communicated with the sheep in a gentle but firm voice, calling out their names over and over again, trying to calm them down. He waved his shepherd's whip and used his body posture to convey a sense of security to the sheep, in order to appease the frightened sheep. However, despite the shepherd's best efforts, the overly frightened sheep seemed to have lost their minds and did not obey his command or comfort at all. They still rushed forward desperately and rushed into the middle of the advancing delegation.

The originally quiet delegation was scattered by the sudden appearance of the sheep. Even the horses in the delegation were frightened and began to become restless. They kept stamping their hooves and swishing their tails, as if they wanted to break free from the reins and escape from the chaotic scene. For a moment, people shouted, horses neighed, dust flew, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Fortunately, everyone in the delegation was an elite among elites. They were not only highly skilled in martial arts and wit, but also had first-rate horse-riding skills. They skillfully controlled the horses, either making them turn a few circles or running wildly. After the horses ran away, they gradually calmed down.

However, after a while, the sheep still did not calm down. At this time, Chu Feiyang turned to the shepherd and said, "Hey, buddy, are you responsible for taking care of these sheep? We have been calming them down for so long, but they are still so restless!"

When the shepherd heard this, he flew into a rage and retorted, "What do you mean by 'are they mine?' These are obviously my sheep!"

Chu Feiyang couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and responded: "Oh, what's your attitude?"

The shepherd was not to be outdone and retorted: "Then you should first look at how you talk to me!"

Chu Feiyang turned his head and glanced at Wen Lanyue who was not far away. He saw that she was looking at him quietly. His face flushed instantly. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then continued to say to the shepherd: "I said you have been soothing for a long time, but look, which sheep here obeyed your command?"

The horses in the delegation were frightened and ran away in all directions. Although the horses have calmed down now, everyone is still far away from each other. The ones who are closer to the shepherd are Chu Feiyang, Wen Lanyue, Hong He and Jing Li, so all the actions of Chu Feiyang and the shepherd are seen by these three.

Wen Lanyue was reminded of this by Chu Feiyang, and she also noticed that the shepherd had been comforting the frightened sheep for such a long time, but not a single sheep listened to him. She couldn't help but begin to doubt whether this shepherd was a real shepherd.

Wen Lanyue, who was in doubt, winked at Jing Li, who nodded in understanding. Then he gently pinched his lips with his right hand and let out a loud and long whistle.

As the whistle sounded, a figure appeared from the darkness like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, the figure was behind the shepherd and stretched out a hand to put on the shepherd's shoulder.

Before the shepherd could react to what was happening, he felt a strong force pressing him down and making him unable to move. He wanted to struggle, but found that he was completely unable to resist this force. He could only watch his body fall to his knees uncontrollably.

When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he suddenly felt despair and fear in his heart. Because at this moment, he didn't even see the person who had just subdued him clearly, and he knelt in front of Wen Lanyue, who was about ten meters away from her.

Chu Feiyang opened his mouth so wide that an egg could fit in it! He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, his heart filled with shock and confusion. In the short time he had been with the delegation, he had discovered that there was such a powerful expert hidden in the team! This expert's Qinggong was peerless, and his figure was as fast as lightning, making it impossible to capture his exact location.

At this moment, Chu Feiyang suddenly realized: This delegation is definitely not simple! It shoulders an extremely difficult and vital mission. Then, the envoy Wen and the deputy envoy Jing who led them must also be extraordinary people. After realizing this, Chu Feiyang secretly made up his mind to seize this rare opportunity, go all out to cooperate with everyone, and strive to achieve great achievements.

Thinking of this, Chu Feiyang immediately took action. He hummed a melodious little song softly, and moved forward slowly but firmly. Finally, he stood steadily in front of the flock and began to interact closely with the sheep in front. As the song gradually became lower, the leading sheep miraculously became docile under Chu Feiyang's gentle touch. The original commotion of the flock gradually subsided, and the peace of the past was restored...

When the shepherd saw the sheep quiet down, he could not help but feel an inexplicable panic in his heart. He stared at the sheep with wide eyes, trying to find some clues from their reactions. However, the sheep just stood there quietly, motionless, as if they were shocked by a mysterious force.
