Chapter 377 Those people didn’t die because of me, but because of you, Princess
"What happened next?" Yu Youning asked again, "Why didn't you two get together?"
When Chu Huaishan heard this, his eyes widened and he pretended to be serious. "You little girl, why are you asking this? Is this something you should ask?"
"Why can't I ask? Master, you said you had already told me everything, so why did you stop halfway?"
Chu Huaishan didn't say anything, just stared at Yu Youning.
Even though he was stared at like that, Yu Youning didn't feel scared and continued to stare at Chu Huaishan.
The two men stared at each other for a long time, and after a long time, Chu Huaishan was the first to be defeated.
"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you, little girl. Since you want to know, I'll tell you.
The reason why we are not together is that after traveling together, I found that she and I are not from the same world, and our thoughts and ideas are completely different.
You may not understand what I mean. Let me give you an example. If the prince is a cruel person and if someone looks at him for even a second, he will gouge out their eyes, would you still be with him?
"Of course not!" Yu Youning said without thinking.
Chu Huaishan sighed, "That's it, that's why I don't want to be with her."
Yu Youning looked at Chu Huaishan sympathetically.
There was definitely a good impression between them at the beginning, but because of their different ideas, they were not able to be together in the end.
"But Master, since you didn't agree with her and didn't want to be with her at the beginning, why do you stay with her now? Has she changed for the better? Or have you accepted her now?"
“Neither.”
Chu Huaishan let out a long sigh.
"More than four years ago, I met her and wanted to persuade her not to target you and your mother anymore.
But she said, if I dare to leave her side again, she will kill one person for every day I leave, two people for every day I leave, and three people for every day I leave.
Although I don’t know those people, and they might even be from Xiliang, no matter where they are from, no matter whether I know them or not, they are all living lives.
I couldn't just ignore those people knowing they were going to die. So, I had to stay by her side."
I did not kill Bo Ren, yet Bo Ren died because of me.
Chu Huaishan didn't want this to happen, so he chose to sacrifice himself to feed the eagle.
For a moment, Yu Youning didn't know how to evaluate Chu Huaishan's actions.
Was Chu Huaishan wrong?
Obviously not.
Not only was he not wrong, Yu Youning even felt that Chu Huaishan was very powerful.
If it were her, she might not do this.
She would only choose to kill Princess Anguo.
But then again, Yu Youning knew in her heart that the reason she thought so was because the person who had known Princess Anguo for many years was not her.
Having not experienced everything they have experienced, and only looking at it from an outsider's perspective, it is natural to say such things.
"So, Master, you're not leaving now because you don't want to watch Princess Anguo kill people?"
"yes!"
"But Princess Anguo is planning a rebellion! She will still kill people! She just said that if the Xiliang Emperor doesn't write a letter of abdication before nightfall, she will kill the Xiliang Emperor and others. That's thousands of lives!
If Princess Anguo really became the emperor, she was so cruel that she didn't care about the lives of the people of Xiliang, let alone the lives of the people of Dayong and Nanzhao.
By that time, she might even start a war, plundering and killing, and who knows how many people would die as a result.
If that's the case, what's the point of you staying with her for so many years, Master?"
Every time Yu Youning asked a question, Chu Huaishan's expression would change.
After a long time, Chu Huaishan smiled bitterly.
"I've lived this long, but I still can't see as clearly as you!"
Chu Huaishan stood up, and his aura suddenly changed.
"Youning, you're right. There's no point in me staying by her side like this. If that's the case, why should I stay here? I might as well leave as soon as possible. Let's go!"
Seeing that Chu Huaishan had finally changed his mind, Yu Youning jumped up instantly, "Master, you are finally willing to leave!"
Yu Youning's voice became much higher in pitch due to her joy.
As soon as the door was opened, the guards outside heard the noise and someone immediately broke in.
These people, following the orders of Princess Anguo, are guarding Chu Huaishan here.
Princess Anguo said that their duty was not to watch Chu Huaishan and prevent him from leaving, but to stop others and prevent anyone from seeing Chu Huaishan.
They thought they were doing a good job.
But now, the laughter of a little girl was heard in Chu Huaishan's study.
This scared them all!
Where does that little girl's voice come from?
Could it be that someone sneaked in when they didn't know?
The guards did not dare to delay any longer and asked two people to notify Princess Anguo, while the rest of them rushed into the house.
When they opened the door of the study, they saw Yu Youning.
After all, Yu Youning had been in Xiliang for some time. Although these guards had never seen her, they had heard of her and knew that she was Chu Huaishan's apprentice.
Now when he saw Yu Youning, he immediately guessed Yu Youning's identity.
"You are Yu Youning!"
"How did you get in?"
"Princess Anguo has ordered that no one except her can come in or see Elder Chu. You must leave immediately!"
"Our people have already gone to inform Princess Anguo. She will be here soon. If you know what's good for you, leave now!"
Although these guards spoke rudely, they had no intention of rushing forward.
They had heard of Yu Youning and naturally knew how powerful Yu Youning was.
If they could avoid fighting with Yu Youning, they would not want to fight with Yu Youning.
Yu Youning looked at them with a stern face, "This is my master. I must take him away. If you disagree, come and fight me! Whoever wins has the final say!"
The group of guards looked at each other and subconsciously stepped back.
If they really go forward, they have no chance of winning at all and will only lose miserably.
Although they were just guards, they didn't live long enough.
Who would want to die when you can live!
Yu Youning didn't necessarily want to fight with them, so he just called out Teng Snake.
The Teng Snake appeared in the air and quickly grew larger.
Yu Youning and Chu Huaishan looked at each other, and they both tapped their toes at the same time and flew over the top of Teng Snake.
The group of guards originally didn't dare to attack Yu Youning, and now after seeing this scene, they didn't even have the desire to do anything.
If you take action at this time, it would be no different from seeking death.
Just then, Princess Anguo finally arrived.
Princess Anguo looked at Chu Huaishan standing on Teng Snake with a gloomy face and clenched teeth, obviously extremely angry.
"Chu Huaishan! What did you promise me four years ago? And what are you doing now?"
"Do you want to watch those people die because of you?"
Chu Huaishan slowly shook his head, "Princess, you are wrong. Those people did not die because of me, but because of you. If you had not taken action, they would have lived well. If you had taken action, even if I was by your side, I would not have been able to save them.
Even so, I still want to persuade the princess not to commit more murders! Princess, you already have a lot, don't vent your anger on innocent people just because you can't get what you want.
Princess Anguo didn't expect that these words would not be able to keep Chu Huaishan.
While she was angry, Princess Anguo was more frightened.
Seeing the Teng Snake gradually ascend into the air, Princess Anguo's voice became shrill, "Chu Huaishan, if you dare to leave like this, I will fight Dayong to the death!"
Teng Snake had already flown high into the sky.
Chu Huaishan lowered his eyes and looked at Princess Anguo with a complicated expression. After a long time, he slowly spoke.
"Princess, if you insist on taking action, I can only defend Liangcheng to the death!"
After saying that, Chu Huaishan no longer looked at Princess Anguo, but said to Yu Youning, "Youning, let's go!"
Yu Youning had long felt that there was no need to say anything more to Princess Anguo.
Now hearing Chu Huaishan say to leave, Yu Youning did not hesitate at all. He squatted down and gently patted Tengshe's head, "Let's go!"
Teng Snake raised its head high, turned around on the spot, and then flew towards the direction of leaving the city.
The Teng Snake was so fast that it disappeared from Princess Anguo's sight in almost the blink of an eye.
Princess Anguo looked at the horizon, her expression becoming increasingly gloomy.
Not only because Chu Huaishan left, but also because of the appearance of Tengshe.
Teng Snake has appeared, so has Qiongqi already returned to Tuoba Ruoli?
If Tuoba Ruoli chose to help the Xiliang Emperor at this time, it would not be so easy to kill the Xiliang Emperor directly!
...
When Qiongqi appeared outside the carriage, Tuoba Ruoli was still thinking about what to do.
She was afraid that she could not persuade Princess Anguo, and she was also afraid that she could not help Princess Anguo deal with the Emperor of Xiliang.
When I was feeling extremely conflicted, Qiongqi suddenly came back!
Although I was surprised, I was more excited.
"Qiongqi! You are finally back!"
Tuoba Ruoli was extremely happy.
"Now that you're back, I finally have some power to protect myself. I can finally think about what I can do."
Qiongqi didn't quite understand what Tuoba Ruoli was mumbling about.
It only felt like it had been locked up for two or three days and was very hungry.
Now I just want to find someone to eat with!
Tuoba Ruoli has been with Qiongqi for a long time, so she naturally knows Qiongqi well enough.
Just by looking at Qiongqi's appearance, she had already guessed what Qiongqi was thinking.
Qiongqi actually wants to eat people again?
It’s not that Tuoba Ruoli doesn’t want Qiongqi to eat her, she is just thinking about who would be a better person for Qiongqi to eat!
In the end, Tuoba Ruoli said, "Go find it yourself! Eat whoever you want!"
Since you can’t choose, let Qiongqi choose for himself.
Those who are chosen can only consider themselves unlucky. Who dares to challenge Qiongqi?
