Chapter 47 Little Bird, Little Bird, Hurry Up!
"Princess, this is not candy."
The assassin didn't waste any time with her and gave his companion a wink.
Several assassins surrounded the tigress and Yun Zhao, then dispersed one by one.
Now, the tigress didn't know who to deal with first, so she could only crouch down and growl as a warning.
Yun Zhao found it strange; they could have launched a coordinated attack from the shadows, leaving her with no way to avoid it.
Why do they insist on not doing that?
Could it be that they're planning to capture him alive?
As the two sides confronted each other, a rumbling sound came from the sky.
Yun Zhao tilted his head and asked innocently, "Before you die, can you tell me why you didn't just shoot me with an arrow?"
The assassin was also taken aback by her question.
"Little Princess, we're not afraid to tell you, someone wants to take your life."
But not now. Just come with us obediently, and we won't do anything to you.
The other party was just a little baby, and the assassin didn't take him seriously.
Upon hearing their words, Yun Zhao immediately confirmed that this group of assassins was not the same group as the two who had captured her earlier.
To be precise, the people who hired them later were definitely from two different groups.
"I never imagined so many people would want my life."
Before the assassin could figure out what she meant, another rumbling sound came from above.
A clap of thunder in early spring?
Yun Zhao grinned, revealing two adorable little tiger teeth, and said with a smile, "Alright, you can all go to hell now~"
What?
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, a colossal object appeared in the sky and plummeted downwards at breakneck speed!
"What is that?! Quick..."
After a loud bang, all was quiet.
The tigress was also startled, and her whole body trembled twice.
Yun Zhao immediately patted the tiger's head, "Don't be afraid, I did it!"
After putting the items back into her spatial storage, the air was filled with the stench of blood, and the tigress immediately became agitated.
"We can't eat this, it's dirty! Let's go find Mommy!"
The tigress looked back regretfully twice, until Yun Zhao gently patted her head, then she started to walk away.
Before leaving, Yun Zhao used his spatial ability to store away the hidden arrows and swords they carried.
When Lu Li arrived, he smelled a bloody odor on the wind, and his heart sank.
That little girl, could she have just disappeared?
"This is terrible! How am I going to explain this to the young master?"
With that in mind, Lu Li quickened his pace.
In the darkness, visibility in the woods was poor, which made Lu Li's sense of smell and hearing exceptionally sensitive.
The stench of blood grew stronger. He landed on the tree trunk, stared at the pool of blood on the ground, and fell into deep thought.
What crushed it?
The tiger, with its keen sense of smell, quickly caught up with the fleeing convoy.
The assassin continued his pursuit, with only Lu Xun and Zhi Xia attempting to intercept him.
"Sister Zhixia, Zhaozhao is here!"
Yun Zhao shouted, and the tiger immediately roared and swooped down!
With a single swipe of its claw, it struck the last assassin, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere!
Upon seeing this, Lu Xun turned around and slashed out with his sword, then kicked the man toward Yun Zhao.
"Yun Zhao!"
Yun Zhao turned his head and saw someone flying over.
"Here we go! Tiger, charge!"
"roar!"
Following Yun Zhao's instructions, the tiger caught the assassin who had been kicked away and killed him with a single swipe of its paw.
The tiger and the man worked together seamlessly, and the assassin quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
Xu Yifei hurried as fast as he could and finally caught sight of someone.
"Zhaozhao! Your uncle is here to help you!"
Xu Yifei was truly fearless; he single-handedly and unarmed scared off the assassin.
As time dragged on, the tiger began to feel tired.
Wei Jingchen returned at some point, standing on the carriage shaft, and shouted, "They're deliberately stalling for time! A swift victory is needed!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao couldn't help but curse a couple of times.
"How cunning!"
As dawn broke, their escape and pursuit through the forest startled many birds.
Yun Zhao immediately had an idea.
"Little birds, little birds, come quick! Peck at them, and I'll give you rice!"
The assassins were probably scared, and immediately kept their distance on guard.
"Chirp chirp!"
Sure enough, shortly after she finished speaking, the birds that had just been startled took flight and swooped down!
Assassin: !
"Run!"
"Little birds, little birds, hurry up! Peck them, peck them!"
As if giving a command, Yun Zhao waved his short arms in the air, and the birds gathered into a sharp sword, swooping down towards the assassins!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Xun stepped forward and, with Yun Zhao's cooperation, finally wiped out the assassins!
"Little birds, little birds, thank you! Just a moment, I'll go get you some rice!"
Yun Zhao rode the tiger to the donkey cart. Before he could speak, Wei Jingchen took out a bag of broken rice from the cart.
Yun Zhao: ?
So fast?
"Thank you, Brother Jingchen, please open it for the little birds!"
Wei Jingchen jumped off the donkey cart, opened the bag of broken rice, and the little birds hovered in the air, too afraid to land.
"Let's go, we'll scare the birds if we stay here~"
Yun Zhao stroked the tiger's head, and the tiger looked back at her with a somewhat mournful expression.
I want to eat...
"The little bird doesn't have much meat, it's not tasty~"
tiger:……
Nonsense, you guys clearly enjoyed your meal last night!
"Be good, when we hunt a wild boar, I'll give you a big pig's leg and a pig's head, okay?"
The tiger reluctantly agreed.
Xu Qingyi looked at the tiger's blood-covered face, still shaken: "Zhaozhao, come up to your mother!"
To everyone's surprise, Yun Zhao shook his head.
"Don't worry, Mother, Zhao Zhao is fine~ Let's get going!"
Wei Mingde got off the oxcart, looking rather unwell.
"Zhao Zhao is right. We can't stay in the wilderness tonight. It's still more than half a day's journey to Yangguan County. We need to get there before we're safe!"
There might be no more killers during the day, but who knows what might happen at night.
"But we have no official credentials or travel documents, so we can't enter the city!"
Wei Mingyu frowned, looking troubled.
"Official credentials? I have them!"
Xu Yifei took out a dark blue booklet from his pocket, which had the seal of the Dali Temple on it.
"Ah Fei, where did you come from?"
Xu Qingyi had a bad feeling.
"It was taken from Luo Qing."
Everyone was startled.
"You went to work for the government?"
Although Luo Qing was not a good person, he was, in the end, just an escort officer.
If you beat him up and steal his official credentials, that's the end of it!
"Don't worry, sister. I asked him for it. I told him I would wait for him in Yangguan County, and he agreed before giving it to me!"
Xu Qingyi had doubts about Xu Yifei's "agreement".
Five years ago, before Xu Qingyi gave birth, Xu Yifei gave his sister a safety amulet.
He said that the young master of the Li family agreed to give it to him, but the next day the man's mother came to his door.
It was said to be a peace amulet blessed by a monk, specially obtained for an elder, but Xu Yifei forcibly snatched it away.
Xu Yifei beat up Young Master Li on the spot, and from then on, the villainous eldest son of the General's Mansion became infamous.
Having learned from past mistakes, Xu Qingyi couldn't help but feel worried.
"Sister, it's true, Luo Qing really agreed!"
Seeing his sister's expression, Xu Yifei couldn't help but feel anxious.
He was already tall and burly, and in this state of agitation, he looked even fiercer and more frightening.
"Brother, why don't we turn back? Confess and we'll be treated leniently!"
Even his younger brother, Xu Yinan, was somewhat intimidated by his older brother's volatile temper.
"No, why don't you all believe me!"
It's always like this! They never believe me!
Xu Yifei was furious; the pent-up rage he had been suppressing for so long was about to burst forth.
Suddenly, a pair of soft little hands grasped his fist.
