Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

A moment later, Yan Xuan and his guards also chased out, but their speed could not catch up with Baihu at all, so they could only shoot arrows along the way.

As he was walking, Xia Liang discovered that there was a cliff in front of him. Damn, he had reached the end.

She stuck her head out and looked down. The cliff was about fifty or sixty meters high. It had a certain slope, but it wasn't too steep. If she maintained her balance, could she rush down in one breath?

The lackey also noticed this problem, got off Xia Liang's back, and said excitedly: "Master Baihu, I can try, it should be no problem!"

"Okay, let's rush down together."

Having said that, the two beasts did not move.

In fact, it is better to be safe than sorry. Xia Liang has no experience.

So let's just wait and see, maybe we can get through this group of trembling people?

Why were they so nervous? Because Yan Xuan had specifically instructed that they were not allowed to harm the white tiger at all and had to catch it alive.

Only in this way would he have the confidence to explain the White Tiger's spirituality to the emperor, and perhaps even save the White Tiger's life. If he used a dead body to explain, it would be very unconvincing.

It made sense. The companions looked at each other in bewilderment. Looking closer, this giant white tiger was several times larger than any real tiger they had ever seen. Could it be captured alive? Shouldn't the white tiger capture them alive?

The group of people started to move, and Gou Zi jumped left and right excitedly, making Baihu dizzy.

They lined up in a line and moved forward slowly. They were still several feet away from the white tiger, but they did not dare to act rashly.

Each of them holds a sword in his left hand and a club in his right hand.

When they were about ten feet away, Yan Xuan saw that the white tiger did not move, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to put down their swords and use only clubs to try to knock the white tiger unconscious.

Xia Liang almost burst out laughing.

Holding the hammer would give her the best opportunity. She only needed to leap up and fly over the heads of this group of people. If she was unlucky and hurt anyone, it would not be her fault.

Thinking of this, she decided to jump over from the weakest cliff edge on the left.

The boy next to him didn't look very old, so it was understandable that he was afraid to lie down.

Thinking this, she let the dog jump with her. The dog woofed and jumped onto Xia Liang's back.

Xia Liang: “…”

When she started to run, she pushed her back legs hard, imitating the bull in a bullfight, ready to go.

Then he made another fake threat and roared like a tiger before starting the race, which scared a few people in the group away, including the boy on the left.

The white tiger ran towards him. The boy reacted and started swinging his club around in fear. Several people nearby also came to help, swinging their clubs.

But he didn't expect that the boy would not live up to his expectations. He was swinging the stick and backing away. He accidentally stepped on empty air and fell off the cliff.

Baihu secretly cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" This kid looked less than fifteen years old. If he fell down, even if he didn't die, he would be crippled. Wouldn't his life in this dynasty be over?

She signaled the lackey to jump down, and she ran straight to the cliff, ready to pick up the boy and throw him up.

The lackey was very smart. After jumping down, it jumped over the heads of several people and landed safely. It also looked quietly at the group of people who were roaring towards the cliff.

Yan Xuan thought the white tiger was afraid of heights and would avoid the cliff edge, so he placed the youngest, He Yuan, at the edge. Unexpectedly, the white tiger's intelligence was comparable to that of a human, but why did it also jump down?

Until, a figure was thrown out, casting an arc in the air, and more than a dozen guards rushed to catch it.

Xia Liang was glad that her smoking claws caught up with the boy's falling speed. She grabbed the boy's robe with her mouth and threw it up with all her strength. Now she couldn't stop and kept running down.

Seeing this, the lackey barked a few times at the edge of the cliff, and accelerated to climb up the cliff with a slight inclination (1:0.5 slope protection ratio).

When Xia Liang heard the voice of the dog leg chasing after her, her snot and saliva flew in the wind with such emotion. She loved the dog leg so much, and it turned out that her love for it was not in vain. This dog leg was much more reliable than brother Bingrui and sister Luo Yu.

Sister Luo Yu even betrayed Bai Hu in order to protect herself. The more Xia Liang thought about it, the angrier she became. If she really plans to leave this dynasty in the future, she will take Gou Zi with her.

When the group picked up He Yuan, they saw that he only had some broken skin on his body and face. They looked at each other and ran to the edge of the cliff to look at the disappearing figure of the white tiger.

He Yuan recovered after a while, muttering: "It was the white tiger that saved me. It was the white tiger that threw me up. It jumped down to save me..."

Yan Xuan couldn't believe it was true, but Baihu did throw He Yuan up, and just now Baihu let him go.

Yan Xuan's brain couldn't function. This was all beyond his understanding.

The older guard patted He Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Perhaps Baihu just wanted to escape, and he thought you'd be in the way if you fell."

He Yuan grabbed the guard's shoulders tightly and shouted, "No, absolutely not. It was him who saved me. Look, the dog also jumped down. He was the most sincere to Baihu, but I am not even as good as the dog. I even repay kindness with hatred."

What he meant was that he didn't want to capture the white tiger anymore.

The other guards also saw it with their own eyes. One of the guards next to He Yuan said that he actually saw the white tiger grab He Yuan's robe and throw him up.

Everyone remained silent, not knowing what to say.

In order to catch the white tiger, they really put in a lot of effort during this period. They didn't eat or sleep well every day, but there was no clue at all. Now they have a clue and finally have a chance, but they have been let go by the white tiger several times. How can this be explained clearly?

Seeing no one was talking, Yan Xuan picked up his sword and said, "Why don't you all turn back? I'll go after the white tiger alone. I'll personally prove it's a spiritual animal and bring it back to the imperial city. Just report everything truthfully and say it was my decision, Yan Xuan, and it had nothing to do with you."

"No, I want to go too."

He Yuan, an orphan, was raised by his only relative, his grandmother. His grandmother had taught him that a person should have a conscience, but he used to disdain that, believing that as long as he worked hard to rise to the top and gained power and force, he would be invincible.

But the moment he fell, he knew that he was finished. No matter how powerful or invincible he was, he had not even had the chance to show filial piety to his elderly grandmother. If he had not died and had really become a paraplegic, his grandmother would have been implicated by him and died in this life.

He grew up in the capital and was used to seeing the weak being bullied and the fickleness of human nature. Of course, he knew that a life of being bullied was more painful than death.

Yan Xuan looked at him, not knowing what he was thinking.

He Yuan raised his head and said in a strong voice, "I want to chase the white tiger. I want to know why animals are more compassionate than humans. He saved me, and I don't want him to die tragically at the hands of a human."

The other guards understood his feelings; if it were them, they wouldn't be able to understand either. This White Tiger had some humanity; if he truly returned to the Imperial City, his life would surely be over.

The human relationships in the government and the country are much more complicated than simple friendship.
