Chapter 296 She Has Someone to Protect Her
That's a question. Do tigers even know what their prey is?
Having no other choice, the two men gritted their teeth and shakily knocked on the iron bars of the window a few times.
Seeing no response from inside, he turned around and spoke, his body trembling.
"Maybe he ate too many people today, so he fell asleep!"
The implication is that Chu Yu and Qi Zexuan have already been devoured by these two tigers.
Qi Zeyun grabbed one of the people by the neck, his eyes like those of a demon.
Although she didn't really like her younger brother, blood is thicker than water after all!
"Open the door!"
"Sir, we dare not open the door, and we only feed the meat through this iron window."
"If the tiger gets out, none of us will survive!"
"I'll let you open the door! Otherwise, I'll chop you up and throw you inside to lure the tiger out!"
Hearing this, I thought, "Early death or late death, I'd rather die late."
With nimble hands and feet, they untied the heavy iron chains on the iron gate.
They had already mentally prepared themselves to face the tiger's roar, or rather, to be bitten to death by the tiger.
But when I slowly opened my eyes, I could only see a faint light inside.
They didn't see the two big tigers, and their hearts were finally at ease.
Qi Zeyun and his men will not be in the lead.
Escort these two men to the front; even if there are tigers, they'll eat these two first.
The two men were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they had to be held at knifepoint by the people behind them before they could move forward.
With each step forward, my legs trembled violently, and beads of sweat rolled down my forehead like beans.
"There really was a tiger, how come we couldn't even hear it breathing?"
"My lords, it really is a tiger, but perhaps it ate its fill and went to sleep in that cave today?"
Once again, it pierced the hearts of those behind them; one person even kicked them in the buttocks.
What are you talking about? How could their prince be killed by a mere tiger?
They continued walking forward, but they didn't know which way to go, because they had never been here before.
Until the further you go, the more you can step on people's bones.
Upon closer inspection with a tinderbox, they saw nothing but bare bones, a testament to the countless people who had been devoured!
Seeing so many skeletons, they were also startled.
It seems the servants were telling the truth; there really are tigers here.
"You two hurry up and shout, shout for Chu Yu and Qi Zexuan!"
The two men didn't want to shout, but the knife was already pressed against their backs.
His voice trembled as he called out, "Lord Chu Yu! Lord Qi Zexuan!"
While shouting, they were also afraid that a tiger might suddenly rush out from somewhere.
But after shouting several times, he still didn't hear the tiger's voice and remained puzzled.
In the past, even the slightest sound, or knocking on the iron gate at the door, would make them run out.
Did I really eat too much?
They called out a few more times, but the echoes could only be heard inside the cave, and Chu Yu and Qi Zexuan could only make out the sounds vaguely.
They seemed to hear someone shouting. They didn't know how much time had passed, but they were all drowsy and their consciousness was gradually fading.
They heard the sound clearly as it drew closer.
But it didn't seem to be their own attendants shouting, and it didn't sound like anyone from their group.
Later you will see a firelight shining in one part of the cave.
Chu Yu and Qi Zexuan both looked toward the light. They had found them after all; they wouldn't have to die!
I was even prepared to bite my finger and write my will on the ground if I couldn't get out.
It seems he wasn't meant to die!
They completely forgot their naked state and became entangled together.
When the group approached, they were still together.
Qi Zeyun saw the two people's faces clearly and looked at them, with a dead tiger leaning against them.
He gave me a look of utter disappointment, and I could even hear him grinding his teeth!
What kind of environment does her younger brother live in? He still can't resist lusting after other women's beauty?
Chu Yu and Qi Zexuan then realized what was happening and quickly put on their clothes.
These subordinates dared not watch this scene, fearing they would be silenced once they left.
"My dear sister, I thought you had abandoned us!"
"Thank you, Boss Qi."
"Chu Yu, next time Qi Zexuan tries to run away, break his legs! I said it!"
"Sister, brother, I'm in this state, and you don't even care about me."
"He even said he'd have Chu Yu break my legs! Did you see those two dead tigers behind me? How terrifying!"
Those behind them found them even more frightening, as they had actually managed to kill those two tigers.
Moreover, they die quickly and swiftly, without suffering much pain.
"Sister, it's time to head back; it'll get colder and colder."
"We'll skin these two tigers and make you a saddle pad, or maybe a tiger-skin armor!"
"Drag these two tigers out. You two, get dressed and come with us right now!"
Chu Yu quickly straightened her clothes, while Qi Zexuan felt his legs were going numb.
Because Chu Yu was lying on top of him, he didn't move at all so as to make her more comfortable.
"Chu Yu, don't go! You slept with me and now you don't want to take responsibility, right? My legs are numb from being pressed down by you."
Chu Yu couldn't understand his provocative words, so she reached out a hand and pulled Qi Zexuan up from the ground.
Then he bowed to the people behind him and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you all."
They didn't dare look directly at them, waved their hands, and replied, seemingly unsure of where to begin, "No trouble at all."
They carried the two tiger corpses out in a grand procession.
Of course, the two henchmen who were escorted in also served as laborers.
Chu Xiong's side also searched the passageway without success, and decided to wait for them to come out and meet him in the main hall.
After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of a group of footsteps. I thought it was the enemy.
Then they saw them carrying two large tigers out from the other side of the passage.
His eyes were filled with uncontrollable shock. His sister had once again shattered his understanding of the world; she could even kill a tiger!
"Little brother, what brings you here? Who's protecting Her Highness?"
"Someone is protecting her safety."
"Little brother, I thought I would never see you again."
"Third Sister! I will definitely report this matter truthfully to His Highness when I return."
"Chu Qiu, this is absolutely forbidden! Do you understand?"
At this moment, Fang Yuerong and Wu Ziyan, who were waiting inside the post station, stood guard at the door.
It was late at night, and Wu Ziyan had yawned several times in a row.
"Master, why don't you go to sleep?"
"That won't do. We have to wait until they come back."
"They will be absolutely fine."
He simply nodded, then went back to his seat, picked up his pen, and began to write a letter.
It seems that his mission is to eradicate the bad habits in the prefectures and counties. No wonder his mother sent him as an envoy to Xiao Rong.
This was a way of letting her see the parasites within her own empire.
Therefore, his mother probably didn't want to make her the crown princess, but rather wanted to make Wu Chengji the crown princess.
Is she his older sister's right-hand woman?
She couldn't explain it clearly, or perhaps she wanted to give her more experience so that she could lay the foundation for taking charge of the government in the future?
However, he still wrote a letter about the situation in Qin Prefecture and sent it by a bird.
Fang Yuerong saw that she was frowning and knew that she must be thinking about something important again.
He walked over, rolled up his sleeves, and placed both hands on her temples.
