Chapter 6: Difficult to Retreat Once on the Tiger
Ji Hongxue exclaimed: "We have finally arrived at the Duke's residence!"
Oh... have you developed feelings? It's hard to get off the tiger now?" An Bu Lang said with a smile
An Bulang truly did not mean to. Ji Hongxue's splendid red attire, the material of which is unknown, feels particularly smooth to the touch. Coupled with her curvaceous waist, when the white tiger leaps, An Bulang's hand instinctively moves up and down due to inertia. How could he possibly keep it completely still? Unless he were to tightly embrace Ji Hongxue's elastic waist, but that would likely earn him a furious slap.
Ji Hongxue sighed and said: "Indeed, it is so. Alas, if there were a better solution, who would wish to witness such fratricidal events? Second Brother and Eldest Brother are bound to clash; perhaps this is the sorrow of being born into royalty..."
What about this one, what is this that is both salty and fragrant? Anbulang thinks it is very delicious and continues to eat
It is said that the Yang and Yin energies fought for over ten thousand years before successfully merging to form the Yang egg
The city gate is bustling with people coming and going, and the voices within the city are lively, creating a vibrant atmosphere
Through further communication
At this moment, the White Tiger is not in a running state, and An Bulang begins to loosen his grip, curiously surveying the third largest city of the Canglan Kingdom, Qiuyue City
Thank you, little white tiger
It is indeed quite remarkable for individuals of your parents' stature to have only one child. Although Ji Hongxue is unaware of An Bulang's background, the fact that he has such an outstanding child surely indicates that his parents are exceptional as well
The passersby of the past did not possess the ethereal detachment of immortals, nor were they elusive; rather, they were accustomed to expressing their joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness on their faces. Although the human heart remains difficult to fathom, it still possesses a greater degree of authenticity and simplicity compared to that of the immortals
An Bulang sat behind Bai Hu, holding Ji Hongxue's slender waist and nodding repeatedly: "So, you mean to say that as long as you hand over the complete evidence to Ji Changwu, your mission will be accomplished?"
Fortunately, I am an only child said An Bulang with a smile
Upon seeing the token, the general's expression changed dramatically. He immediately knelt and saluted, saying: "I, Chen Weiming, pay my respects to Her Highness, the Third Princess!"
Unbeknownst to me, a grand royal mansion suddenly appeared before my eyes
An Bu Lang had a look of grievance on his face: "This is unfair! It's your clothes that are too slippery..."
The birth of the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Mother is beyond the imagination of mere mortals, and the intensity is no less than that of a domain war
However, time is of the essence now; in order to continue on her journey, Ji Hongxue can only endure
Partly due to the imposing presence of the White Tiger, partly due to Ji Hongxue's breathtaking beauty, and a small part due to An Bulang... that lecherous hand that embraced Ji Hongxue
You ate my tofu, yet you blame me for the slippery clothes
If it were not for the fact that this white tiger was brought by An Bulang for domestication, and if riding on the white tiger was not indeed much faster than walking, Ji Hongxue would absolutely not allow An Bulang to hold her waist, for that was her precious body! How could she let the other party take advantage of her like this!
The White Tiger, feeling a sense of relief, turned its head to look at An Bulang and let out a joyful roar before scampering away.
"Halt, who goes there!" A young guard at the city gate stopped Ji Hongxue.
"Dragon beard candy." Ji Hongxue said irritably, "I really don't know which world you come from, that you don't even know about such a thing."
At last, another day has passed
Anbulang is aware of the current situation in the Azure Blue Kingdom, which is one of the eight major kingdoms bordering the Tenglong Empire
An Buolang was tormented for a day and a night
An Bu Lang ate all the way, while Ji Hong Xue provided commentary all the way
Chen Weiming immediately recognized the situation and instructed the surrounding soldiers to clear a path.
"Riding a large white tiger into the city, doesn't that seem even more imposing?" Ji Hongxue said softly
"What is this called? It tastes so sweet and has a crispy texture," Anbulang exclaimed excitedly.
The Tenglong Empire is now increasingly powerful, having begun to gradually encroach upon the governments of neighboring countries to expand its influence. Some smaller nations have already surrendered their power, but the eight major countries are still struggling to hold on, seeking independence
Chen Weiming looked on in astonishment, originally thinking that the white tiger was a fine steed for the princess, but unexpectedly it was summoned by that young man for the journey. He couldn't help but take a deep look at the young man, pondering which talented youth of the Canglan Kingdom he might be, only to find that none matched his description.
Well-trained soldiers are stationed on the city walls, clad in black iron armor and wielding white crescent halberds. Their weapons glint with a dazzling light under the sun, appearing sharp and intimidating
At this moment, Ji Hongxue had completely lost the playful charm she exhibited while teasing and frolicking with An Bulang, and instead displayed an air of authority, calmly saying: "All of you, please stand at ease"
The height of the city wall reaches a full 10 zhang, its entire body a dark shade of blue, resembling a giant beast lying low upon the earth
King Ji Yonghao of the Azure Blue Kingdom naturally did not wish to submit to the power of the Tenglong Empire, but his health was deteriorating, and he had few grand achievements in governance, with his prestige no longer as strong as it once was. This provided a favorable environment for Crown Prince Ji Wuye to develop.
The general is currently practicing martial arts in the Duke of De's residence, I will go and report this immediately! Chen Weiming spoke up at once
Ji Hongxue has obtained crucial evidence of the Crown Prince's rebellion. This time, she chooses to stand by her father, intending to hand over the evidence to the only one capable of contending with the Crown Prince and who is loyal to her father, the Second Prince.
The white tiger, measuring ten feet in length, let out a roar and carried An Bulang and Ji Hongxue forward, seemingly jumping even more joyfully.
An Bu Lang smiled without speaking, and his heart naturally understood that it was not simple! The more powerful the existence, the more difficult it is to have offspring. His parents struggled for one hundred thousand years just to give birth to An Bu Lang!
"My second brother, Ji Changwu, is the Grand General of Pingnan in the Canglan Kingdom, commanding one-third of the military strength of the Canglan Kingdom. The other military leaders also hold Ji Changwu in high regard. With evidence in hand, he is the only candidate capable of directly bringing down Ji Wuye." Ji Hongxue spoke while riding a white tiger
Ji Hongxue sat upright on the white tiger, straightening her waist, and took out a golden token from her bosom
The remaining soldiers, upon seeing this, all knelt down and exclaimed: "We pay our respects to Her Highness, the Third Princess!"
An Bu Lang is not interested in weapons and clothing, but is very interested in the local snacks of many places, so he indulges in tasting them along the way
An Buolang and Ji Hongxue walked through the city gate of Qiuyue City, and what caught their eyes were various shops, some selling weapons, some selling clothes, as well as many interesting snack shops and taverns
Ji Hongxue and An Bulang appeared at the city gate riding a white tiger, attracting the attention of many pedestrians and soldiers
Ji Hongxue's face flushed with embarrassment as she raised her hand, seemingly about to strike An Bulang. However, due to the princess's imposing presence, she abruptly stopped herself. While leaping down from the tiger, she muttered under her breath, "This is not how one uses the phrase 'riding a tiger and finding it hard to dismount'"
A magnificent city appeared before the eyes of the two individuals
Ji Hongxue's cheeks flushed with anger, turning a shade of crimson.
Chen Weiming took the lead to rise, his eyes still reflecting a hint of surprise, clearly not expecting the Third Princess to suddenly arrive at Qiuyue City
"Anbulang, can you please keep your hands still while riding the tiger?" Ji Hongxue said angrily, "In order to prevent you from falling off, I even allowed you to hold onto my waist, yet your hands are sliding down?"
"Hand-grabbed pancake ... ... " Ji Hongxue held her forehead in speechlessness
Ji Wuye's performance has become increasingly assertive, aggressively consolidating power, managing factions, and maintaining close ties with the Tenglong Empire. Now, there are even indications of treasonous intentions. Behind all of this, the shadow of the Tenglong Empire looms large.
"Let's go, we are going to the tiger." An Bulang said
No need, I will find him myself. Ji Hongxue waved her hand.
"I wonder if my two royal brothers are in the city?" Ji Hongxue asked again
