Chapter 224: Isn't this Mu Ren? How did he come here from the palace so quickly and go crazy?

Guard Liu went back to the nearest village and found out that the village had been deserted for a long time. Two years ago, a fire had killed most of the people in the village.

Even passersby felt that there was a lot of resentment inside, and no one dared to get close.

But Ruan Mian never believed these things, and he and Guard Liu walked in under the gloomy sky.

The village was not very big, so the two of them planned to look for it separately. However, not long after they started walking, they faintly heard a man's voice.

After looking at each other, they really went in the direction of the sound.

In a dilapidated stable next to a dry well, dozens of young women were tied up. They were all thin and frightened, and they must have been captured for some time.

A man in a gorgeous red robe was lying in a pile of wine bottles, his consciousness in a trance.

Isn't this Mu Ren? How could he come here from the palace so quickly and go crazy?

"Ayue, Ayue, do you really not want to be with me? Do you enjoy getting angry with me so much?"

"I'm so sincere to you that I wouldn't even marry the general's daughter just to marry you. But what about you? You'd rather burn yourself to death?! Am I nothing in your eyes?!"

"It's right in front of me, but you never admit it..."

He staggered over to pick up the bottle and walked up to the tied-up women. Each of them was so frightened that their faces turned pale and they didn't even dare to look up at him.

Mu Ren pinched a woman's chin and smashed the bottle in his hand on her head without hesitation!

Suddenly, blood and flesh flew all over the poor woman's forehead, and the people around her trembled with fear.

Even Guard Liu couldn't help but pick up a stone nearby, but was stopped by Ruan Mian.

Her eyes were icy as she whispered, "Don't alert the enemy. Guard Liu, I'll keep an eye on them. Go borrow two carts from the village. I'm afraid those girls can't walk anymore."

"Don't worry, I'll just stay here and wait for you to come back."

Only then did Guard Liu feel at ease to leave and go borrow a cart first.

Little did he know that Ruan Mian just sent him away.

As soon as Guard Liu left, Ruan Mian touched the jade bracelet with a deep look in his eyes. After some thought, he suddenly summoned the big white tiger!

She touched the big head of the white tiger and whispered something in its ear. The next moment, the tiger roared, shaking the earth!

The drunk Mu Ren stumbled and fell to the ground from above the dry well, and was immediately frightened to death by Da Baihua who rushed over.

Those dead legs couldn't even move... The mighty and tall white tiger opened its bloody mouth and roared. The people around were so scared that their faces turned pale and they couldn't help screaming.

Not to mention Prince Mu Ren.

Unfortunately, his legs were stiff and he couldn't run away. As soon as he stood up, he was picked up by the big white tiger and thrown into the sky!

"ah……"

With a scream, he fell to the ground with a thud.

The tiger beast picked him up again and again, just like throwing a ball, and had a lot of fun.

He was so frightened that he was dizzy and in great pain, as if his whole body was about to fall apart and he was torn into pieces.

“Help…Help…”

In the end, his words became particularly weak, and he had little strength left after being toyed with by the tiger beast.

With one final parabola, the tiger beast threw him in front of the bound women.

With his last bit of strength, Mu Ren immediately loosened the hemp ropes of the women closest to him.

Watching them screaming and running away, he tried to use them to lure away the tiger beast and buy himself some time.

Unfortunately, the tiger beast didn't care about the women at all. Instead, because of the women's screams, it bared its teeth at Mu Ren, scaring him so much that his face turned pale and he started shouting loudly.

However, the tiger suddenly pounced on him and grabbed his vitals...

At the same time, the atmosphere in the palace was tense. General Hu Lie and his family sat in the upper seats with serious expressions, and Prince Yong and the princess said all the good things.

After all, it was Mu Ren who was unreasonable first. In a few days, this news will probably reach Kyoto.

If the emperor gets angry and blames me, it will be difficult to end up like this.

King Yong had no choice but to lower his stance and renegotiate with General Hu Lie on the premise of mutual friendship to find a way to remedy the situation.

If they could remarry, they would even be willing to pay double the betrothal gift.

However, General Hu Lie did not care about the money. Instead, he cared more about whether his daughter, whom he had finally recognized, was willing.

If she doesn't want to marry far away, they now have a reason to return to Lanqiang.

There is no need to compromise for the sake of the country.

Even marrying such an ignorant and stupid prince!

So General Hu Lie and his wife looked at Ruan Jiao and asked for her opinion kindly.

Ruan Jiao, now Nabuhui, could have just turned around and left, but she wasn't the real Nabuhui after all. She was meant to return to Dajing with honor, to a high position, and to make all those who had exiled her regret it!

So if she refuses this time and returns to Lanqiang, how can her wish be fulfilled?

After thinking for a while, Ruan Jiao was about to speak when suddenly a servant came running out of the door, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly in anxiety!

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The Crown Prince, the Crown Prince has been attacked by a tiger. Quickly call the court doctor to check on him!"

"What?!"

Prince Yong slammed the table in disbelief and immediately followed the servant to the prince's bedroom.

"Xing Jiazhou has never heard of a ferocious beast injuring anyone? And Ren'er didn't go to the deep mountains or old forests, so how could he encounter a ferocious beast?!"

After asking several questions, the servant was also very puzzled: "Your Highness, I don't know either. Today, the prince was in a bad mood, so he went to Yangcun Village. I saw that the prince had not returned for a long time, so I went to check and saw... I saw that the prince had already fallen in a pool of blood."

"I even saw a large white tiger leave for the back mountain of the manor! And the prince's... life may be in jeopardy."

This last sentence made Prince Yong stunned on the spot. The couple's eyes went dark and they almost fainted.

How can I pass on my legacy if my lifeline is not protected?!

And these words naturally reached Ruan Jiao's ears.

Her expression suddenly changed, and her attitude suddenly changed. She swallowed all the words she hadn't said.

"He doesn't even have a penis? Father, if I marry him, won't I become a widow? I still have a long life ahead of me, and I don't want to be a widow!"

How could General Hu Lie and his wife let their daughter suffer such hardship? Before the prince could say anything, Ruan Jiao knelt down and cried.

"My daughter was completely humiliated yesterday. In front of everyone, the prince abandoned me, his bride-to-be, to save a concubine. I agreed to this marriage with the goal of promoting friendly relations between our two countries."

"Now that the prince has been injured by a wild beast, what will my daughter do if she becomes a widow and doesn't even have a child to support her when she grows old?!"
