Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 56 Two Groups of People Pursuing

Bai Lingyi told Fang what had happened.

By the way, I talked about Baihu's life experience.

I originally thought that Fang would be frightened, but unexpectedly, Fang held Bai Lingyi's hand and said earnestly: "Yier, Miss Qin saved us, and Baihu didn't hurt any innocent people. They must have their own difficulties.

Therefore, since we have chosen Miss Qin as our family, we can only trust them wholeheartedly."

Bai Lingyi nodded. From how Sister Luo Hong and Brother Bing Rui really helped him bury his sister's body, from how Bai Hu helped him catch the bad guys, and from how Sister Luo Hong wholeheartedly treated his mother's wounds, Bai Lingyi believed that everything Sister Luo Hong did had her reasons.

He would just believe them for no reason.

By the time Luo Yu and Qin Bingrui returned to the city with Baihu Gouzi, it was already dark.

After feeding the dog a meal, Bai Lingyi found Luo Yu and said that his mother wanted to leave tomorrow.

"Your mother hasn't recovered yet. She can rest for two more days. We are not in a hurry."

Bai Lingyi actually thought so too, but his mother was afraid that the white tiger's secret would be exposed. Whether it was feeding or going to the toilet, taking care of a big tiger was not as convenient as taking care of a dog.

If Fang saw Gou Zi again, who was almost as tall as an adult woman when he stood up, she would not say that.

Luo Yu thought about it and agreed that it made sense.

Besides, the wound on Fang’s back only needed to be patched up every three days, and Luo Yu would also change it after checking it out.

Qin Bingrui's carriage was very comfortable, with not much bumpiness, making it suitable for injured patients to rest.

So the next day, Luo Yu and Qin Bingrui went shopping again and bought some ice cubes to freeze the cooked meat, which was enough for Baihu and Gou Zi to eat for two days.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the white tiger could only find food on the road.

The dog never imagined that there would be a day when he would be able to ride in a carriage, eat cooked meat, and no longer have to go hungry every day. He would live a comfortable life like a dog emperor.

After noon, the group had their meal, packed their luggage, and prepared to leave Tianbao County.

Although Tianbao County is not a wealthy county, the people can generally ensure food and clothing. However, once you leave the county town, the people outside are very different from those in the city.

Muzhou City was a bit worse off than the capital, but it still had many wealthy people, and the common people mostly wore hemp and cotton. In the county town, more people wore coarse linen clothes, and significantly fewer silks and satins.

After leaving the city, the people's coarse linen clothes had to be patched for another three years.

Luo Yu and the others walked out of the city to the south, while Yan Xuan and He Yuan rode their horses from the north to the county town.

Although they knew that Baihu could not enter the city, they did not hear any movement outside the city. The two decided to have a good meal before going to find Baihu.

"Commander Yan, do you think White Tiger and that dog are so smart? Will they really be able to sneak into the city?"

He Yuan asked while eating. He now even felt that Baihu could sneak into the city with his own strength.

Yan Xuan frowned: "How did a big animal like that get in? A dog could have been one."

"That's right. I've heard of wolves working together, but this is the first time I've heard of tiger dogs working together. Look at them, they're so well-fed and plump, they don't look like they've been wandering around for too long."

When Yan Xuan heard this, he was suddenly stunned.

He boldly imagined that the white tiger and the dog were so smart and clever, would they meet someone who could really help them? Perhaps that person could take them in and out of the city gates and ensure they had three meals a day?

If a normal person heard this, they would think Yan Xuan was completely delusional.

Indeed, he had already quickly ruled out this possibility in his mind.

"Strict command..."

"Don't be so bossy. I'm only half a year older than you. You can call me Brother Xuan."

He Yuan was not the type to be long-winded, so he said directly: "Brother Xuan, maybe the White Tiger's hunting skills are not bad, but the forest here is full of rabbits, monkeys, pheasants, etc., which are not enough for the White Tiger to fill its teeth.

After tracking them for so many days, we haven't found any gnawed flesh or anything like that. What on earth do they eat to gain weight?"

When Yan Xuan heard this, he thought of the traces of chicken that were found in the bamboo forest outside Muzhou City, which were gnawed by dogs until only chicken bones were left. They also specially found the landlord Xu's family. The Xu family said that it was a group of wild dogs that did it, and it couldn't be a white tiger. If it was a white tiger, how could their family have saved their lives when they chased after it?

Now that I think about it, the white tiger not only didn't hurt anyone but also saved people. Besides, there was indeed a dog by its side, so the facts prove that it was indeed the white tiger that took the dogs to steal from the Xu family?

Why, then, did the Xu family insist that the White Tiger didn't exist? Could it be that it had never appeared? The Xu family also claimed that a knight had saved them. Who was that knight? Could it be that the knight had seen the White Tiger, and that the tiger had let him go? So, the knight didn't tell the Xu family about his encounter with the White Tiger?

Things ended here.

Yan Xuan stood up suddenly and said to He Yuan, "Let's rush to Muzhou City immediately and find out the whereabouts of that knight."

"What knight?"

In fact, after going around in circles for a long time, Yan Xuan finally found some clues. He also met several strong men who were scratched in the woods at that time. He knew at a glance that it was the White Tiger's doing. Unfortunately, none of them could speak. If it was the White Tiger who did it, the White Tiger was too smart and did not give people any chance to reveal its whereabouts.

At that time, he just thought that Baihu had deliberately hurt people, but now after analysis, he felt that there must be something hidden, and he had to go back to Muzhou City again.

"Let's go back and ask clearly so that we can find out where that knight has gone."

Luo Yu and Qin Bingrui rode as fast as they could, preparing to reach the next habitat before dark.

At the same time that Yan Xuan and He Yuan left Tianbao County, people sent by the Queen just entered the city.

The leading secret guard is called Ji Feng, and his three secret guards are Guangying, Lightning, and Jinglei.

Ji Feng recognized Yan Xuan. Although Yan Xuan didn't know him, he felt that there was something wrong with this man's temperament and eyes at a glance. Ordinary clothes could not hide the fact that he was incompatible with ordinary people.

Yan Xuan whispered to He Yuan, "It seems that there are others besides us who are looking for Baihu."

Ji Feng was wondering why the two Imperial City officials hadn't returned to the capital. What had happened to them? Everyone else had evacuated, leaving only two half-grown boys?

Even more strange was why the two boys were heading north again. Could the white tiger still be in the forest?

Jing Lei asked Ji Feng: "Should we follow these two guys or go on our own?"

"Follow us and find the White Tiger first. The beast mentioned in the legend outside Muzhou City must be a White Tiger. Moreover, White Tigers injure but don't kill. Therefore, the noble person the Queen is looking for must not be dead."

The four of them didn't even take a breath and continued to catch up with Yan Xuan and the others.

He Yuan asked Yan Xuan: "Are these people following us to find the White Tiger? Besides the Emperor, is there anyone else in the capital who is interested in the White Tiger?"

"They are all royal family members anyway. Who among ordinary people would be interested in a wild beast?"

"makes sense."
