Chapter 172: Chidian was hurt
Hearing Chidian’s neigh from downstairs, Jun Yeyan immediately thought somebody was hurt.
Nalan Youhong’s decadence was gone. He and Jun Yeyan gave each other a serious look.
Although they did not publicize their entry into Yangzhou, they believed that some people would find their whereabouts.
And this kind of trouble might often happen in the future.
Jun Yeyan thought the same thing with Nalan Youhong, but he was also worried about Chidian. That neigh sounded sad. Bai Aoxue must have heard it, too!
Thinking of this, Jun Yeyan started striding to the door.
When Jun Yeyan pushed open the door, the door was also opened from outside. Jun Yeyan quickly gathered his internal energy!
“Master!” Zhao called in a low voice.
Jun Yeyan promptly withdrew the impending internal energy and looked at Zhao, who was obviously anxious, “What’s going on?”
“We’re not sure who did it. The Princess ordered people to walk Chidian, but when no one was noticing, it was hit by an arrow!” Zhao reported it quickly, with concerns in his heart.
Chidian was the Princess’s favorite. She would never let those people go.
Zhao was afraid if anything bad happened to Chidian, life would be hard for everyone!
“Where is Xue?” As soon as Jun Yeyan heard it, his eyes became cold, and he asked anxiously when he thought of Bai Aoxue.
“The Princess went out after hearing the neigh!” Zhao had known things would worsen when he saw Bai Aoxue’s atrocious face.
Jun Yeyan cried in low voice, “Let’s go.”
Zhao led the way down to the posthouse.
After giving some orders to Mumian and Hongxiu, Bai Aoxue was ready to go to bed. Then she heard the clops and Chidian’s sad neigh.
Bai Aoxue suddenly opened the cold almond-shaped eyes, where dark thick fog started to gather. Chidian’s neigh was not as delightful as before.
It was howl or scream!
Bai Aoxue removed her quilt and bounced off the bed. She quickly put on the shoes, and pushed the door open.
“Miss! Miss, bad news!” Mumian ran from the other side of the stairs, and saw that the Bai Aoxue had come out of the room.
Bai Aoxue didn’t stop over Mumian’s calling. She strode off the nearest stairs.
On the second floor, she suddenly jumped out. In the fluttering of her red skirt, she reached the ground.
Bai Aoxue didn’t care about Mumian or the surprised and appreciating eye sight of those who secretly protected her, including Li Xiao.
Seeing this, Li Xiao and his companions dared not delay, and quickly followed Bai Aoxue.
Outside, Bai Aoxue saw a group of arrogant people, riding tall horses, circled around the posthouse.
“Whose wolf is this? How dare they put it here! Didn’t they know that wolves hurt people?! Since I’ve killed it, it’s mine!” Bai Aoxue heard a fierce female voice.
Bai Aoxue slightly narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, which were already full of desire for blood.
No one answered. The woman proudly said, “Someone, bring the wolf to me! Its hair is perfectly glossy. It’ll make a fur coat!”
Bai Aoxue turned to the direction of Chidian. Its previous mightiness was gone, and there was a sharp arrow in its stomach. Blood had sprinkled all over the ground!
Chidian was lying on the ground. Its originally clean and tidy hair was now stained with a lot of blood and dust. It looked pathetic. Mightiness was nowhere to be found.
But its eyes were still fierce, looking at the woman as if it would try at any time to tear the woman into pieces!
A ferocious prairie beast like Chidian would be a tamed puppy only before Bai Aoxue. Before others, it was still the lord of the prairie! Still an endorser of ferociousness!
Even at present when its life was running out, Chidian’s pride didn’t allow it to howl, not to say to reveal any timidity!
Bai Aoxue looked at Chidian, appreciative and heartbroken!
“Whoever comes up will die!” A cold female voice, without its previous peace, but full of anger.
Bai Aoxue fixed her eyes on usually poker-faced Wenxi. She was not as indifferent and calm as before, but wearing a furious and anxious face.
“Hey…Who are you, stupid girl? You’re messing up with me? I’m happy today. I don’t want to take care of you! Get out of here!” The woman looked at Wenxi with disdain, as if she was being very kind.
“What a bastard! You hurt other people’s animal and take it for granted! You’re courting death!” Wenxi looked at the woman indifferently, but her words were surprisingly irritating.
“Little bitch! You’re courting death!” The woman cried after hearing Wenxi’s words. She quickly dismounted from the horse, drew out the whip on her waist and threw it directly to Wenxi!
Wenxi, looking at such shameless behavior of the women, dodged the whip leisurely. She said coldly, “You are indeed shameless! Didn’t your parents tell you that people always cherish morality?”
Hearing Wenxi’s words, the woman’s cheeks flushed, and her attacks became fiercer.
“Today, if I don’t skin you damn bitch, I can’t vent my anger!” The woman cried out loud.
Wenxi quickly pulled out the soft sword winding on her waist with her slim hand, and then started attacking.
“It’s I who can’t vent the anger! I’ll cut the flesh in your waist to compensate Chidian!” Wenxi said harshly, and rushed fast toward the woman.
It was the first time that Bai Aoxue had seen Wenxi use a weapon, and the first time that the latter had not held back her strength. Bai Aoxue didn’t expect those people would protect her with their lives after being her friends for such a short time.
Now that Wenxi had restrained the woman, Bai Aoxue stopped watching and headed to Chidian that she was truly worried about. She believed the woman and Wenxi would continue fighting for quite some time.
And at this time, those who had been looking on came up quietly.
“Get out of the way.” Intention of killing hid in the vacant and cold voice.
The two men, who had been guarding Chidian and secretly talking about how much money they could earn from it, could not help quivering and quickly turned their heads.
When they saw the blood-thirsty almond-shaped eyes, they were frozen. Fear filled their hearts.
Perhaps they had never thought that they could be too frightened to speak or act just because of seeing a person’s eyes.
And the eyes belonged to a girl!
Bai Aoxue heard the comments of the two. Had she not been concerned with Chidian, she would have killed them already.
The two men then became aware of the situation, and retreated a few steps in a moment, as if hiding from an evil god.
Bai Aoxue approached Chidian without encountering any hindering.
Hongxiu was holding Chidian’s big head in her arms, murmuring carefully, “Chidian, you must hold on! Mumian has gone to inform Miss! Miss will be able to save you!”
Hongxiu’s eyes were full of tears. She did not expect such disaster would happen to Chidian in such a short time. Had she known it, she would have taken it upstairs instead of walking it.
Hearing the footsteps, Hongxiu quickly turned around, and saw Bai Aoxue behind her.
“Miss…” Hongxiu cried in dumbness, tears running down uncontrollably. It seemed no fear or agony could be vented without seeing Bai Aoxue.
Perhaps nobody could understand her fear. At first she and Wenxi had feared Chidian, but after Chidian tried its best to protect them at the prime minister’s mansion, their distrust disappeared.
They liked it. Though it had looked ferocious, it had occasionally laid down in front of them and let them scratch it. Or let them feel its neck, squinting very comfortably.
That Chidian had been so lovely, but now after a short moment, it seemed to be leaving them. How could she not fear!
The hearts of Hongxiu and Wenxi were filled with the fear of losing a partner and a family member, which did not calm down until they saw Bai Aoxue.
“It’s all right.” Bai Aoxue gently pursed her thin lips, and rubbed Hongxiu’s hair to comfort her.
Hongxiu’s eyes, however, turned red again because of this action.
Bai Aoxue squatted down and stared at Chidian. The latter also stared at Bai Aoxue without blinking, with its eyes showing some grievance.
“Well, have I nourished you so well that you’ve lost your wild nature?” Joking at Chidian, she poked her hand at its stomach.
Chidian groaned as if she had exposed its secret. It tried hard to stand up.
“Take a good rest,” said Bai Aoxue, “and those who hurt you will pay for it. But now we have to save you first. I don’t want such a cruel bodyguard to die young.”
Chidian got irritated by Bai Aoxue. It groaned and opened its big mouth to overawe her.
Watching the interaction between Chidian and Bai Aoxue, the restlessness in Hongxiu’s heart was relieved. She felt a little more secure.
As long as Bai Aoxue was around, she could always feel at ease.
And only Bai Aoxue could give them this kind of feelings.
Bai Aoxue took out several pills from her sleeve pocket, and then threw them into Chidian’s open large mouth. Chidian wasn’t sure what they were, but it swallowed them.
At this time, Mumian, Li Xiao and other people also arrived. Bai Aoxue glanced at them and said, “Hold its legs. Mumian, give me the gauze you prepared.”
Li Xiao and his companions followed her order, although they didn’t know her purpose. Mumian also put on the ground the things in her arms, so that Bai Aoxue could pick what she needed.
“You can’t bite people even if it hurts. If you want to bite someone later, I’ll give you a great chance.” Bai Aoxue said, patting Chidian’s head.
Then Bai Aoxue made eye contact with Li Xiao and other people, who immediately understood what she meant. They pressed Chidian’s legs very hard, with Hongxiu fastening its neck tightly with her arms.
At the finish of her last word, Bai Aoxue quickly pressed Chidian’s belly with one hand, and caught the feather arrow with the other!
