Chapter 143 Entering the Palace "Xiong Yue..." The old general...
"Xiong Yue..." The old general squeezed out a breath from his suffocating chest: "I can't persuade you, nor can I let you leave. You... take care of yourself."
After saying that, the old general turned away and stopped looking at Xiong Yue.
Baihu sighed silently, waved his hand, and Hu Hei stepped forward with the handcuffs.
"Hahahaha." Xiong Yue suddenly burst into laughter, startling everyone.
He coldly swept his gaze across the crowd, but when he looked at the old general, his eyes showed a rare hint of emotion.
However, that emotion quickly vanished, replaced by a hint of relief in his eyes: "It's too late, they've already made their move."
"What?!" The old general turned around abruptly to look at him.
Xiong Yue smirked: "I was just a pawn, helping them control the army. As for them..."
Xiong Yue's gaze swept to the clock on the wall, where the hour hand had just reached 7:00 PM, and the bell rang...
"They will make their move now."
The old general took a few deep breaths, his voice barely concealing his anger: "White Tiger!"
Baihu, who had already turned off the signal jammer, said: "All troops, listen up! Disperse to various locations in company-level units to protect the people."
As soon as he finished speaking, he dialed another number: "Your Majesty..."
After communicating with the royal family, Baihu turned to the commanders who had recovered and said, "Comrades, please lead your teams to various locations."
"Yes!" The commanders had already understood everything while the others were talking, and now they responded even more enthusiastically, hoping to make a contribution so that their merits could offset their demerits.
After everyone had left, Baihu turned to Xiong Yue and said, "Tell me, how many people were involved?"
Xiong Yue gave a wry smile: "I don't know... but I do know that the Leopard Clan made a move."
"Given your status and position, I don't believe you know nothing." Baihu glanced at the old general, and seeing him turn his back, his gaze towards Xiong Yue grew increasingly cold and hard.
Xiong Yue shook his head with a wry smile: "Indeed, if I were to disregard the top leader, I would definitely be among the top three."
“But…” His gaze unconsciously drifted to the old general who had his back to him, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, “I…I ultimately…”
Baihu followed his gaze to the old general, but his eyes grew even colder and harder. He even interrupted Xiong Yue before he could finish speaking: "Xiong Yue."
Xiong Yue looked up at him. Bai Hu was more than ten years younger than him, but his status was only one level lower than his. He could be described as a young prodigy.
Xiong Yue was jealous of the other party. After all, when Baihu was born, the country had become much more peaceful. He had not experienced those catastrophic past events and had always been well protected by the Tiger Clan.
He was made the young master at birth and was taught by top talents during his growth. After growing up, his family paved the way for him to enter the army. He became a major general in his thirties and took control of the White Tiger Camp.
How could Xiong Yue not be envious of such a smooth life? He now knew why Bai Hu had stopped him, but he didn't want his words to influence the old general's judgment and make him go easy on him when sentencing him.
But he didn't want things to go his way. He looked at the white tiger, his wide grin revealing a hint of mockery: "I can't bear to be sad for the person I consider my own child."
After he finished speaking, his smile became even more exaggerated, and Baihu's expression turned somewhat ugly.
“Xiong Yue…” The old general’s words interrupted Xiong Yue’s laughter, “I will not help you. This is the sin you must atone for, for the brothers who died in the White Tiger Camp and the civilians who have died these days, for your sister…”
The old general's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, until finally it was as light as a wisp of smoke, gently brushing past Xiong Yue's ear until it landed on his heart, instantly becoming incredibly heavy.
“Old General…” Xiong Yue’s face turned pale, and a blank look flashed in his eyes. Then, as if he had thought of something, he knelt there blankly and stopped talking.
The old general closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Sang Zhitao: "Miss Ying, could you please save those people?"
Sang Zhitao frowned slightly and scratched her cheek with her fingertips: "I...I'm not sure."
The old general sighed, about to say something, when he heard Baihu's phone ringing incessantly.
Baihu answered several calls, his face turning extremely grim. He looked up at Sang Zhitao and the old general: "All six provinces and cities are in trouble."
The old general opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Sang Zhitao frowned, looking troubled: "If so many places are affected at the same time, I won't be able to handle it all and won't have enough time to go to different places to remove the pollution."
Baihu quickly shook his head and explained, "Of course I can't let you run around to multiple places in one day. I plan to arrest everyone. Can you eliminate them all at once?"
Sang Zhitao thought for a moment and was about to nod in agreement when she suddenly felt a warm sensation in her chest.
Before she could even ask what was going on, Baihu's phone suddenly rang. He then lunged at Xiong Yue with a grim expression, demanding, "What on earth did they do?!"
Xiong Yue sneered: "I told you, I really don't know."
"What's wrong?" Sang Zhitao looked at Baihu in surprise.
Baihu stared coldly at Xiong Yue, avoiding the old general's probing gaze, before sighing and saying, "Those who came into contact with the contaminated person were all infected."
The old general's expression changed drastically, and he turned around abruptly to look at Xiong Yue.
When Xiong Yue was looked at with disgust and disbelief, he stiffened and subconsciously looked away, forcing a bitter smile: "Teacher, I really don't know."
The old general took a few heavy breaths, clutching his chest in discomfort as he looked at Sang Zhitao: "Miss Ying..."
Sang Zhitao was also confused, not understanding why she could remove pollution, and was even more at a loss in the face of this situation.
Thinking back to the inverted world, Toya solved the black stone potion by analyzing a component from her own blood, Sang Zhitao suspected it was the power of her own blood.
However, it is inexplicable why Baihu and the leader were rescued simply because she was watching them.
Frowning, Sang Zhitao recalled that Zhang Su had mentioned back at the base that her body had been continuously improved as she transmigrated, and that before coming to this world, her body had already reached the limits of human capabilities.
“Perhaps…” Sang Zhitao pursed her lips, “Perhaps I can give it a try, but I need one thing.”
"What?!" Baihu and the old general saw her hesitating and their hearts sank. They felt only despair, but unexpectedly, a glimmer of hope appeared.
Sang Zhitao thought for a moment and said, "As I said before, I need to enter the palace to find something. Perhaps that thing can help me."
"No problem, I'll apply to the Emperor right away!" White Tiger excitedly dialed the phone.
The old general frowned: "What exactly is it?"
Sang Zhitao hesitated for a moment: "Find me first before you explain."
Baihu's expression shifted from bewilderment to delight before he looked up at Sang Zhitao with a blank expression: "The Emperor said that what you want is in her hands, so you can just go and get it."
Sang Zhitao was taken aback for a moment, but then regained her composure. She wasn't surprised, after all, there were always people in the know in the world before her.
Seeing that her expression was normal, Baihu was somewhat surprised, but he still smiled and said, "I'll take you there right away."
Sang Zhitao naturally nodded in agreement.
The old general glanced at Xiong Yue and said, "You all go ahead, I'll stay here and watch over Xiong Yue."
Baihu glanced at Xiong Yue beside him, nodded silently in agreement, and left with Sang Zhitao.
They sped all the way to the palace.
Outside the palace, a young girl in military uniform was waiting for them.
"Your Highness." Baihu respectfully saluted the girl.
The young woman smiled and said, "General Bai, you are too polite. My father is waiting for you."
After speaking, the girl looked at Sang Zhitao and said, "This must be Miss Ying. I've heard so much about you."
Sang Zhitao looked at the girl curiously, and Baihu beside her quickly introduced her: "This is Her Highness the Crown Princess."
"Your Highness, hello." Sang Zhitao greeted her with a smile.
The Crown Princess took a few steps forward and approached Sang Zhitao to chat with her.
Sang Zhitao initially thought that the Crown Princess's "I have long admired your name" was because of the savior, but she learned from the Crown Princess's conversation that this person was actually her fan.
"I really like the songs you sing." The Crown Princess softly sang a few lines of a song that Sang Zhitao had once sung.
Sang Zhitao awkwardly picked at her fingers: "I'm not the original singer."
The Crown Princess winked at her: "I know, Father Emperor told me."
Sang Zhitao breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that someone would misunderstand, and she didn't want to use other people's things to pat herself on the back: "If it's successful, have them send you a collection of songs!"
"I also like the stories you write. It must be a very powerful world there." The Crown Princess looked ahead with longing in her eyes.
Sang Zhitao couldn't hide the pride on her face: "Of course! It has a history of five thousand years, a glorious past, an extraordinary present, and a brilliant future."
"I'm really looking forward to it..." The Crown Princess looked at her and smiled gently.
Baihu didn't understand what the two were saying, but just smiled as he looked at the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess happened to look up at him, smiled slightly, and then continued to talk to Sang Zhitao with her head down.
The white tiger looked at her, lowered its head slightly, and smiled.
Sang Zhitao may not boast about anything else, but when it comes to understanding other people's emotions, she dares to say that she is second to none.
However, on Earth, she was the one who immediately saw through the ambiguous relationship between her brother and Zhang Su.
Looking at the way Baihu looked at the Crown Princess, he instantly sensed the affection in her eyes.
Looking at the Crown Princess's youthful face, and thinking that Bai Hu was already over thirty years old, she frowned slightly and subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to block Bai Hu's view.
Unfortunately, she is only 1.42 meters tall, while the White Tiger in human form is nearly 2 meters tall, so she can't stop him no matter what.
Her actions were noticed by the Crown Princess, who glanced suspiciously at Bai Hu, then looked at Sang Zhitao, and asked in a low voice with concern, "What's wrong? Did Major General Bai offend you?"
Sang Zhitao pursed her lips, frowned and thought for a moment before hesitatingly saying, "Your Highness, you are still young and have many choices. An older man is not necessarily the best choice."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked up at the white tiger who was staring at her blankly. She instantly understood: "Hahahaha, thank you... thank you."
Perhaps feeling that laughing out loud was a bit impolite, or perhaps because Baihu's blank expression was too cute, the Crown Princess covered her mouth and laughed for a long time before pressing down on her slightly aching abdomen and whispering in Sang Zhitao's ear, "I am an old cow eating young grass, not young grass."
Sang Zhitao was taken aback. Just as she was about to ask her a question, she was gently pushed and shoved into the hall.
