Chapter 417 Norio (10)
Lu Guanqi pulled off the ropes binding him, then helped Li Tian'ao up. "Your Highness, let's go."
Li Tian'ao also took the rope; it would be useful after all.
The two helped each other away, but after walking less than a hundred steps, they heard a noise coming from the bushes ahead. Unfortunately, it was dark, and they couldn't see anything.
Li Tian'ao gripped the knife tightly, while Lu Guanqi held the rope from before and stood in front of Li Tian'ao.
A white-browed tiger suddenly appeared in front of us; it looked incredibly fierce.
Lu Guanqi had only ever seen wild beasts in cages, and now that he saw a tiger, his legs were about to go weak with fear. Holding the rope, he threatened, "You hairy beast, get the hell away from me, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Li Tian'ao also had a knife. In ancient times, there was a story of Wu Yang fighting a tiger. Since there were two of them, they should have a chance of defeating the tiger.
If they had known the tigers would appear, they would have hung themselves in the tree; at least then the tigers wouldn't be able to eat them.
The tiger was already unhappy from being chased all the way, and when it saw the two blocking its way, it felt an inexplicable irritation. It flicked its tail and attacked directly.
After a while, Lu Guanqi and Li Tian'ao, with their faces swollen, sat by the fire and roasted tiger meat for Xiong Bufan.
They're so stupid, so incredibly stupid, to actually think they could escape Rakshasa's grasp.
God knows what they just saw. They saw the Rakshasa woman smash the tiger's skull with one punch, and then slap each of them twice.
Xiong Bufan was eating meat skewers nearby, seemingly forgetting something very important.
The two people in front of her were grilling the meat way too slowly, which was making it harder for her to finish her meal. Xiong Bufan said, "You two, hurry up."
"Yes, brave warrior."
The two of them no longer felt humiliated; nothing was more important than saving their lives.
Lu Guanqi: "Brave warrior, may I ask your name and where you are going?"
Xiong Bufan glanced at Lu Guanqi. This person talks too much. However, she seemed to remember something she had forgotten.
Her carriage; she had just forgotten about her carriage.
Xiong Bufan stood up and looked for the carriage in his memory, but he only found one carriage; the horses were nowhere to be found.
The carriage was also his property. Xiong Bufan carried the carriage to the fire, and now all his property was gathered together.
When Lu Guanqi saw Xiong Bufan carrying the carriage over, he assumed that the wedding night would be in the carriage, and he was extremely unwilling. After all, he was still a handsome young man.
Xiong Bufan put down the carriage, walked to Lu Guanqi's side, and snatched the cooked meat skewers to eat.
I wanted to eat tiger meat in the last world, and I finally got to eat it in this world.
Lu Guanqi felt he might be torn apart by Xiong Bufan, so he said tactfully, "Brave warrior, I have someone I like in my hometown."
"What the hell is this to me? Hurry up and grill the meat."
Lu Guanqi felt that he couldn't escape the matter of the wedding night. He wanted to cry, but a man doesn't easily shed tears, so he could only offer himself to the Second Prince.
After thinking for a while, Xiong Bufan said, "I just saved you guys again, and I even fed you."
You need to pay me when you go to the capital. If you don't have it now, then you'll have to pay me back. I'm not the kind of person who's impatient.
"Nine out and thirteen back will suffice. I've saved you twice, so I'll give you a discount: one hundred taels of silver."
Li Tian'ao was about to accuse Xiong Bufan of usury, but when he heard that Xiong Bufan was asking for one hundred taels of silver, he immediately felt that the price was too low and not worthy of his status.
Back in the day, when he was in the capital, a single outfit cost him eight hundred taels of silver, not including any accessories.
Li Tian'ao: "Brave warrior, isn't this price too high?"
Xiong Bufan glanced at him and said, "Ninety-nine taels, no less." In his heart, he continued to complain: This guy is too stingy. He can even bargain for money that is saving his life.
Li Tian'ao bristled like a cat with its fur standing on end, "Do I look like someone who's that poor? I have plenty of money!"
Xiong Bufan: "Oh, give me ten taels of silver as proof."
Li Tian'ao blushed, "I don't have any money. Can I prove it to you when I get back?"
“You’re poor but you still like to brag. Now you owe me a thousand taels of silver.”
Lu Guanqi: "Why is it one thousand taels?"
"Because 990 taels is my compensation for mental distress, as compensation for your deception of me."
"The remaining ten taels are for your life-saving expenses; you're worthless." Xiong Bufan said with a regretful expression at the end, realizing he had made a losing deal.
The belt and jade pendant together cost over a thousand taels of silver, and Kongkong couldn't see where Xiong Bufan's prices were low.
"Then I'll give you two thousand taels. If you save me once, I'll give you one thousand taels."
"It would be foolish not to make money when it's offered to you, especially when it's delivered to your doorstep." Xiong Bufan's two small eyes gleamed with a peculiar light as he chimed in, "Alright, I agree. From now on, one hundred taels of silver per meal."
Li Tian'ao had no idea how foolish his decision was, and he would regret it later.
Xiong Bufan thought highly of the two men; at least they were willing to pay, which was far better than those who tried to get something for nothing.
In one night, the two of them roasted an adult tiger, and most of the meat ended up in Xiong Bufan's stomach.
After Xiong Bufan finished eating, she crawled back into the carriage to sleep, as there were too many insects outside that could bite her delicate skin.
After taking off his coat, Lu Guanqi ran to the carriage with a look of grim determination, shouting, "Brave warrior, I'm here!"
There are always vulgar people who covet Xiong Bufan's good looks. Xiong Bufan kicked one of them away, saying, "Get lost!"
"Great Immortal, our prince is really no good."
Xiong Bufan: "Don't touch me, all of you get lost."
Hearing Xiong Bufan's curses, Lu Guanqi finally believed that Xiong Bufan was not interested in him and Li Tian'ao.
Li Tian'ao leisurely watched the excitement, the tiger skin on his body was very warm. Lu Guanqi was good in every way, except that he couldn't think straight.
This strange man clearly wants money, not their bodies.
Lu Guanqi walked to Li Tian'ao's side. This time, they no longer thought about running away, because staying by the side of the strange man was the safest option.
Lu Guanqi: "Your Highness, you should rest early. I will keep watch."
"it is good."
There were corpses over there, and over here was a fire, animal hides, and a warm carriage.
After daybreak, Xiong Bufan followed the scent to find the horse, killed it, and continued to eat the meat.
Lu Guanqi and Li Tian'ao looked on with pained expressions, knowing that horses were the fastest way back to the capital.
Now that they've eaten the horse, they don't even know when they'll be able to return to the capital.
Xiong Bufan, gnawing on the half-cooked horse meat, looked at Lu Guanqi and the other man with regretful expressions and said in a serious tone, "This counts as a meal, I'm not giving you a refund."
Looking at the ugly woman eating horse meat, Li Tian'ao felt nothing but disgust; she had no idea what she had done.
Xiong Bufan thought this man was crazy. He snatched the horse meat from in front of him and said, "As long as you point the way, I can take you back to the capital."
However, the price is very high, and it's beyond your means.
Li Tian'ao hated it most when people said he was poor. He was a prince, and apart from the emperor, there was no one richer than him in the world.
