Chapter 204 White Tiger's Sacrifice
The atmosphere was no longer as awkward and tense as before.
King Ning sat down and looked at the drawings while asking some questions about them.
Until, he suddenly asked: "I haven't seen Miss Qin today. Miss Bai, do you know where she went?"
Luo Yu's eyes twitched slightly: "Didn't His Highness send someone to watch Miss Qin for twelve hours? Why are you asking me?"
"I just want to see if Miss Luo Yu can lie without blushing or fluttering her heart, and if her eyes can still reveal a sincere light."
Luo Yu laughed in silence. She was always good at keeping calm when the lie she told was more false. It seemed that she had gone a bit too far and could not hide it from King Ning.
"Your Highness Prince Ning really knows how to joke."
"Then tell me, did Miss Qin follow the people from the Imperial City Bureau out to look for the White Tiger?"
"Yes, Prince Ning, do you have any other questions?"
"What can you do even if you find the White Tiger? It must be brought back to the capital by the Imperial City Bureau. Why are you trying to fight against authority with an egg against a rock?"
This was indeed the case. If the white tiger was just an ordinary white tiger, all this wouldn't be difficult to handle. But unfortunately, the white tiger had become a spiritual beast, one of the four sacred beasts that the people said "whoever gets the white tiger gets the world." These ancient people were much more eloquent in talking nonsense than she was...
Luo Yu fell into deep thought.
Early this morning, Qin Bingrui suddenly knocked on her bedroom door, and as soon as he entered the room, he bolted the door, looking very panicked.
There was a hint of tears in her voice: "Sister, I had a dream. I dreamed that Xia Liang died."
Luo Yu's face turned pale instantly, and he said weakly: "How, how did he die?"
"It should be around 5:00 AM tomorrow morning (Yinshi, after 3:00 AM). She was found by the Imperial City Division in a valley a hundred miles from the city. Baihu had a hip injury and couldn't run. Besides, many wolves had sacrificed their lives protecting her. You know Xia Liang's temper, so she couldn't just stand by and watch. She fought the Imperial City Division's men until dawn.
To prevent the Imperial City officials from shooting arrows at White Tiger again, the lackey took a risk and stood in front of White Tiger with his wolf girlfriend. Finally, they slowly retreated to the edge of the valley. Below the valley was a thousand-foot cliff and a turbulent river. Falling in would surely kill them.
I heard someone say in a daze that if they couldn't capture the White Tiger alive, they could just kill it. If they didn't bring the White Tiger back to the capital, the Emperor would be furious. Their families were in the capital, and their fate was uncertain."
Luo Yu remained silent. It was not impossible that Ye Chengshi killed Baihu because of his subordinate's words.
When Baihu's life and death was related to the lives of many people, Luo Yu was also a little dazed.
"Sister, in the end they shot the lackey. In order to protect the lackey and the she-wolf, Xia Liang didn't fight and chose to jump off a cliff and die."
"Xia Liang chose to die to protect the dog, but we have to sacrifice many lives to save Baihu..."
Luo Yu didn't know what was right or wrong. After all, in her previous concept, these ancient people were just NPCs in their planning process, and their life or death were not worthy of sympathy.
But after interacting with these people for a while, they realized that everyone was flesh and blood, happy to have a full meal, and excited to earn a hundred taels of silver. They also had families, futures, and hopes, just like all ordinary people in the world...
"Sister, don't be soft-hearted at this time.
If we can't protect Xia Liang, all of our plans will be ruined. What if we die here and can't die, and then it takes decades to return to our original bodies? Wouldn't that leave Xia Liang alone in the time-space box, fading away and dying of old age..."
"How about we let Baihu give up struggling and follow the Imperial City Division?
If the Imperial City Bureau doesn't take Baihu away, their families will be implicated, and they will definitely not give up. If we can bring Baihu back to the capital safely, perhaps we can find another way..."
"Sister, have you ever considered that even if Baihu follows them back to the capital, he will surely die. At that time, Baihu's affairs will be even more difficult to handle. Sister Luo Yu, perhaps even the two of us will be buried with Baihu."
Luo Yu lowered his eyes, remaining calm and saying, "Bingrui, how about you secretly follow the people from the Imperial City Bureau to find Xia Liang first? Once you find her, find a way to let her escape first. Then I'll find a way to get Prince Ning to bring his men to assist us."
"Do you think Prince Ning will help us?"
"I'll try my best to find a solution. You should leave quickly. If I really can't solve it by then, I will find a way to die in front of Xia Liang so that we can start over again. No matter how many times this cycle goes on, we will succeed one day, right?"
"sister……"
Qin Bingrui hugged Luo Yu tightly, his voice trembling slightly, "Sister, you are usually most afraid of pain, but you have to experience countless deaths. This damn program bug ability, sooner or later one day I... Sister Luo Yu, unless it is a critical moment, we must not act impulsively. If we can save Bai Hu, we should try our best to save her life. Don't gamble with your own life."
Luo Yu was speechless and said, "You think I really want to die?"
Afterwards, Qin Bingrui found a way to avoid Feiying and his men, secretly mounted his horse, and chased after the Imperial City Division's team. He thought he could get to the front and escape with Baihu, but he didn't expect to be caught up by Song Si.
This damn Prince Ning, it turns out he is the biggest obstacle.
……
Luo Yu came back to her senses from her memories, only to find that King Ning's face was very close to her.
Luo Yu tilted his head back slightly and took a step back: "What are you doing?"
"I just want to see what Miss Bai is thinking about. Maybe she's trying to figure out what pretense she can use to convince me, right?"
"Convince you of what?"
"Then tell me, why do you and Miss Qin want to take Baihu away?"
Luo Yu's gaze no longer evaded him. With a firm expression, she spoke slowly, "Because my master said that the White Tiger is a spirit beast destined to save the world from suffering. Besides, she also saved my life..."
"You think I will believe it?"
Prince Ning raised the corner of his lips with an unintentional smile, "If Miss Bai stops lying, perhaps I can help you this time."
Luo Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Will you really help me? Your Highness Prince Ning, I'm begging you only this once. How about you bring your men and horses and help me bring Baihu back safely? From now on, whatever Your Highness Prince Ning tells me to do, I will never object and will only obey your orders."
He remained unmoved, smiling coldly: "Do you think this king would help you just to send you? You are so confident that you think you have such great personal charm?"
Luo Yu wanted to slap him.
But now, she can only continue to act in order to gain his trust.
"Your Highness Prince Ning, you may not know this, but in fact, I have always, always, always been in love with you... You are a graceful and elegant man, and from the first moment I saw you, I fell in love with you. You are the most outstanding man I have ever met, a rare man in the world..."
"Because you like me, do you think I should help you? Besides, why should I believe what a woman like you says?"
He leaned lazily in his chair and looked at a drawing on her desk.
A man named Aqiang accidentally opened a drawer and traveled through time and space to a world a thousand years later...
Really funny.
He chuckled softly and was about to look up to ask her when she had made this drawing, but when he looked up, he touched the woman's lips and a faint fragrance came straight towards him...
She actually took the initiative to kiss him...
