Yuan Zhao opened his eyes, sat up, and saw Xiaobai a few steps away from the bed.
Xiaobai held his tail erect, staring at the strange man on the bed with his brown eyes, sensing the danger from this man.
Yuan Zhao got out of bed immediately, and seeing this, Huo Yan also got up with her.
Following his movements, Xiaobai stared at him vigilantly, ready to pounce at the next moment.
Yuan Zhao tentatively reached out and touched its head, "Xiaobai, he is a good man..."
After hearing this, Xiaobai's fur slowly relaxed.
The little master told it to protect its beautiful mother. It instinctively felt that this man was very powerful and dangerous.
But since the beautiful mother said that this is a good person, it will just reluctantly believe it for now.
"Xiaobai, what happened to you?" Yuan Zhao exclaimed in a low voice, and looking over in the moonlight, he noticed that Xiaobai's mouth was covered in blood.
Huo Yan also squatted down. He reached out his hand fearlessly and pinched the white tiger's jaw to check.
"It's not its blood. It should be from another animal."
Xiaobai broke free from the man's hand in dissatisfaction and gave him an angry look.
How could it, the tiger king, be treated like this?
But at the moment it didn't bother with the man, it just bit the hem of Yuan Zhao's clothes and took her out.
Yuan Zhao thought of the night when Zhizhi was thrown outside the Wei Mansion, and Xiaobai had done the same thing.
"Have you found Xiaoyu?" She immediately understood.
Xiaobai's movements became more forceful.
Yuan Zhao glanced at Huo Yan. Even though she didn't say where the white tiger came from, Huo Yan could see that they had a relationship of mutual trust.
Baihu saw something unusual, so he didn't ask any more questions and just said directly, "I'll go with you!"
Yuan Zhao hesitated for a moment, "Will it ruin your business?"
"Your business is the most important."
Huo Yan put his arm around her waist and easily helped her out through the rear window that Xiaobai had sneaked in through.
Xiaobai's figure moved very quickly in the dark night, and Huo Yan and Yuan Zhao behind him caught up easily.
Finally, Xiaobai stopped at the other end of the village, and Huo Yan noticed that it was a stable.
There was a smell of blood inside.
He frowned slightly, not because he was disgusted, but because he didn't expect that Yuan Zhao's child would be in such a place.
When Yuan Zhao saw this enclosure, his heart couldn't help but tighten.
She remembered Zhizhi saying that Qi Yu was locked in a pigpen...
The pigpen only has one wooden door, which shows signs of damage, and it seems that Xiaobai did it.
Huo Yan no longer held Yuan Zhao's waist, but instead held her wrist.
Yuan Zhao's mind was focused on the enclosure in front of him, and he didn't pay attention to anything else.
Xiaobai went in, and Huo Yan reached out and pulled open the heavy lock on the wooden door, opening the door.
Yuan Zhao tried to walk in quickly, but everything in front of him was dark. He stepped on something without paying attention.
She lowered her head slightly and noticed that there was dirty excrement everywhere under her feet. Even in winter, the smell in the pigpen was very unpleasant.
She felt a little nauseous, and the person holding her handed her a handkerchief from his arms to cover her nose and mouth.
In the darkness, she couldn't see what the handkerchief looked like, but the unique smell of Huo Yan rushed into her nose, instantly suppressing the nausea.
The man in front of me didn't change his expression at all in such an environment.
Walking inside, there are several pens, and the pigs on the outside are sleeping.
The smell of blood came from the innermost part.
Xiaobai jumped from the pen and stopped at the innermost pigpen.
Huo Yan had excellent eyesight. Even though the light was dim, he could clearly see that all the pigs in the pigpen had their necks bitten off and fell to the ground.
The one who bit me must be a ferocious beast, and one bite could be fatal.
Huo Yan looked at the little white tiger, a few months old, in the pen, with some thought in his eyes.
But soon, Xiaobai jumped to the middle, and Huo Yan only saw a white cloak with something covered underneath.
Yuan Zhao finally adapted to the darkness before him and saw the white cloak.
"Qi Yu! That should be Qi Yu!" She couldn't help but grab Huo Yan's arm.
Huo Yan patted her soothingly, "You stay here, I'll go get him out!"
After saying that, he let go of Yuan Zhao's hand, turned over nimbly, and walked towards Xiaobai's position.
As he got closer, he saw the figure huddled in a ball under the cloak.
Only a faint breath.
He carefully picked up the person wrapped in the cloak and turned him out again.
Yuan Zhao wanted to see her child first. In the moonlight, she saw the little face covered with filth under the cloak.
I can't see clearly at all.
Yuan Zhao simply wiped the child's face with his hand, revealing the face underneath.
She burst into tears instantly.
"Xiaoyu..."
Seeing her sad, Huo Yan held the child in one hand and held her hand with the other.
"Let's go out first."
Yuan Zhao nodded, unwilling to take his eyes off the child in his arms.
Huo Yan pulled her out, and just as they were out, someone appeared in front of them.
Yuan Zhao was startled and saw that Huo Yan didn't react at all.
"General, our people have taken control of the village. Apart from the villagers, we only found a sneaky woman. The woman said nothing."
The voice belonged to the young man who had been with them before.
"Where is the person?" Huo Yan faced his subordinates without any of the gentleness he showed in front of Yuan Zhao.
"Take him to the rendezvous point first and wait for the general's instructions."
Huo Yan looked at the dark night with no emotion on his face.
According to their original plan, they were to sneak into the village and conduct a secret investigation.
But now, because of Yuan Zhao's intervention and the dying child in her arms, she can't make long-term plans.
