Chapter 264: We are now classmates
Obviously, the affection between animals is no less than that between humans.
The tiger was even more furious than before, but it did not dare to attack Li Tianzhuo. It could only keep growling and whimpering in its throat.
"You go first, I have my own way to get out."
Li Tianzhuo spoke loudly to everyone.
"I'll go with you."
Deng Youning had already retreated to Li Tianzhuo's side, wanting to fight the tiger together with him.
"Ningning, be obedient. You go first. I promise I will come back alive."
Li Tianzhuo did not dismount, but bent over and stared at Deng Youning.
He coaxed her softly as if he was coaxing a child.
Without waiting for her consent, Li Tianzhuo turned to Deng Yanan and asked:
"Cousin, I left King Yi at the intersection ahead. His leg is broken. I need you to help me take care of him."
He even bowed to Deng Yan'an very politely.
Thinking of the bad things King Yi had done in Dongji, Li Tianzhuo could only use his own face to ask Deng Yan'an to help look after him.
"Are you really sure you can escape from this terrible situation?"
Deng Yan'an asked again with concern.
Li Tianzhuo chuckled disdainfully, "Before my martial arts were abandoned, I once skinned a tiger single-handedly."
"Now, although my martial arts skills are not as good as they were in the past, it is still no problem for me to survive a tiger's mouth."
"Besides, I can't bear to die now!"
Having said this, his deep eyes unconsciously swept over Deng Youning again.
Under the bright moonlight after the fog has dispersed, the dazzling starlight is radiant, and the tenderness in the eyes spreads to the corners of the eyes.
"Cousin, take Ningning away!"
He closed his eyes silently and asked everyone to leave.
"Walk."
Deng Yan'an pulled Deng Youning along, and together with Xiu Ming and Ying Shi, they quickly left using Qinggong.
The tiger roared in the direction they left and ran forward a few steps, as if it wanted to continue chasing them.
"Hello--"
Li Tianzhuo shouted loudly, indicating to the tiger that its cub was still in his hands.
The tiger stopped and glared at Li Tianzhuo angrily.
*
Deng Youning and the other three quickly ran to where King Yi was.
His entire left leg had been bitten off by the tiger, and Li Tianzhuo placed it next to his body.
The location of the broken leg looked bloody and extremely hideous.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, so strong that it was sickening.
Li Tianzhuo had already treated his wound and stopped the bleeding.
There is no danger to life at the moment, he is just in a coma.
Xiu Ming took the initiative to take on the task of carrying him.
Deng Yan'an and Ying Shi helped Yi Wang onto his back.
This was the first person Xiu Ming had carried with a broken leg. Without a leg, he had no place to gain leverage.
"Should we take this thing back?"
Ying Shi stared at Yi Wang's broken leg with disgust.
Just at this time, several soldiers of the imperial guards also came over. Seeing that they had rescued King Yi, they were very excited.
Xiu Ming suddenly had an idea and asked one of the soldiers to carry King Yi on his back while another one took off King Yi's broken leg.
The four of them were relieved.
Walking towards the forest exit, Deng Youning was worried about Li Tianzhuo all the way.
She walked at the end of the line.
"Don't think too much. Since he can give us a guarantee, he will definitely not put himself in danger."
Deng Yan'an walked with her holding her wrist, afraid that if she wasn't paying attention, Deng Youning would dive into the forest again to look for Li Tianzhuo.
"Cousin, you are not unaware of his martial arts skills."
"How could I not be worried?"
Deng Youning's tightly furrowed brows could not be relaxed, and he kept looking back every few steps.
With every inch she took forward, she hoped that Li Tianzhuo would appear behind them safely.
Soon, everyone returned to the camp.
When Deng Xuelian saw that King Yi was missing a leg, her eyes almost popped out.
Emperor Nan Xin also felt a little uncomfortable.
King Yi was taken away to rest, and Deng Xuelian also entered the tent to accompany him.
Knowing that it was Deng Youning and others who rescued his eldest son, Emperor Nan Xin was very grateful to the Deng brothers and sisters.
But at the same time, he didn't see his youngest son, whom he missed the most, with them.
"Princess Dongji, where is Tian'er?"
Emperor Nan Xin asked Deng Youning for someone.
Seeing that Deng Youning was in a bad state along the way, Deng Yan'an took the initiative to briefly explain what they had just experienced.
Upon hearing that Li Tianzhuo was left alone to deal with the tiger, Emperor Nan Xin's blood boiled rapidly and he almost choked out his breath.
"Deng Youning, my son is infatuated with you and is willing to sacrifice everything for you, but you leave him alone in the forest to fight the tiger!"
"When disaster strikes, everyone flees. That's absolutely true. I foolishly thought you two were in love forever."
Emperor Nan Xin pointed at Deng Youning with trembling fingers, and his face turned red with anger.
"Your Majesty Nanxin, you are really wronging Ningning. It was Tianzhuo who asked us to take her away."
Deng Yan'an couldn't bear to see anyone saying anything bad about Deng Youning, so he was busy explaining.
"He told you to go, so you left?"
"Aren't you his friends? With his current martial arts skills, how can he deal with a tiger?"
Emperor Nan Xin questioned in a stern voice.
He asked the eunuch beside him to get his sword and went in personally to rescue Lao Liu.
"Your Majesty, please don't do that. Your body can't stand this."
Eunuch Cai's sharp voice expressed his worry for Emperor Nan Xin vividly.
He was the personal eunuch of Emperor Nanxin and knew the most about Emperor Nanxin's illness.
Last time in the Fantasy Forest, when the king rebelled, his body was already struggling to hold on. If he were to fight the tiger again today, he would definitely die.
However, the emperor refused to listen and seemed determined to go find Li Tianzhuo in person.
"Your Majesty, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about His Royal Highness Prince Changle. If he sees you in trouble, I'm afraid he will have to live in guilt and self-blame for the rest of his life."
Eunuch Cai brought up Li Tianzhuo, which temporarily calmed Emperor Nan Xin's restless heart.
Deng Youning on the side clenched his fists.
"Go, find me the fastest horse."
She instructed the other eunuchs beside her.
Everyone understood what she meant.
Deng Yanan: "Ningning, you..."
He was about to say something to stop it, but Deng Youning interrupted him:
"Cousin, His Majesty Nan Xin is right. Ah Zhuo can do anything for me and will never abandon me, so how can I abandon him and come back alone?"
"Even if we have to feed the tiger, we are still classmates forever."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch led over a Ferghana horse.
Nanxin is not a country that produces horses. Although this horse is of the same breed, its running speed is far inferior to the one that Li Tianzhuo gave her today.
However, it is also the fastest horse currently present.
Deng Youning didn't complain and mounted the horse handsomely.
Before leaving, she did not forget to promise Emperor Nan Xin:
"Your Majesty Nan Xin, I am going to look for Ah Zhuo. If I don't find him, I will not come back. If anything happens to him, I will commit suicide to show my love for him."
Her words were very decisive and serious, and did not sound like mere talk at all.
Emperor Nan Xin was somewhat shocked.
Except for his first wife, Empress Zhuo, who died early, he had not seen such a woman he loved for many years, nor had he heard such a touching story.
At that moment, he actually somewhat approved of this daughter-in-law.
As long as Tian'er can live happily for the rest of his life, the throne and other things are not important.
When Yuan Gu and Min Nanqiu heard Deng Youning's words, it was like a thorn piercing their hearts.
When Min Nanqiu looked up at Deng Youning's back again, his eyes were full of admiration and envy for her.
I envy their everlasting love.
I admire even more their determination to sacrifice for each other.
