A white tiger charged into the group of black - clothed men, its huge tiger claws pouncing towards them.

Xiaobai's claw tips were extremely sharp, and each claw directly dug into the flesh and blood.

Its body was already much larger than that of a normal tiger. Under the influence of the space and the spiritual spring, both its size and agility were beyond what an ordinary tiger could match.

It shuttled among the black - clothed men, pinning them down with a claw and then opening its big mouth to bite off their throats.

It was like a human - life harvester.

For a moment, the attacking power of the black - clothed men was reduced by more than half.

The prisoners were already so frightened by the black - clothed men that they were almost scared out of their wits. After the white tiger appeared, some who couldn't hold on fainted directly with their eyes rolling back.

The He family members were used to big scenes, but they were still severely frightened.

Especially the female relatives. Cong Fangzhi's hands were trembling, and she leaned tightly against He Jingxi, barely able to stand steadily.

Just then, a black - clothed man suddenly rushed up from behind, and his long sword stabbed straight towards the old princess.

He Yunyi saw it too late. She only heard herself shout, "Sister - in - law, help!" As soon as the words fell, the black - clothed man froze in place, his eyes wide open, and fresh blood flowed down from between his brows. His tall figure slowly fell to the ground.

A silver needle was precisely stuck in the black - clothed man's head.

Just as Shang Ruoyi let out a sigh of relief, she heard the sound of wind breaking behind her. The swords of two black - clothed men were already close at hand.

She turned around and threw the silver needles. One of the silver needles hit the shoulder of a black - clothed man, and the other one killed him instantly.

They had originally thought that since He Jingheng was disabled, killing him would be an easy task. Unexpectedly, he was so difficult to deal with. Not only did they fail to kill him, but they also lost so many of their brothers.

And Shang Ruoyi, from what Prime Minister Shang had said, this concubine - born daughter of his was timid, weak, and good - for - nothing. But where was she timid? She was clearly bolder than a man. Good - for - nothing? Was he blind? She had killed so many of his brothers. Good - for - nothing?

And this white tiger, where did it come from? Moreover, this white tiger was clearly targeting them.

He picked up a long whistle and blew it twice. The black - clothed men suddenly retreated and disappeared into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

The white tiger looked at Shang Ruoyi. Seeing her nod, its figure also gradually disappeared into the night.

He Jingheng looked at the white tiger, his eyes dark and unclear. This white tiger was clearly the one that had come to look for food and tried to eat them that night.

There were no casualties among them. He Jingheng looked at Zhang Hu apologetically. "I'm sorry, your dagger was taken by those people."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a dagger. It's not worth much silver." Zhang Hu quickly waved his hand.

He Jingheng smiled. "Then thank you, Lord Zhang."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhang Hu almost knelt down. This master had barely said a few words during the entire journey of exile. Just his presence made people feel great pressure. Now that he called him Lord Zhang, cold sweat instantly broke out on Zhang Hu's forehead.

After the guards had truly witnessed He Jingheng's martial arts skills, their attitudes towards him became much more respectful.

They also didn't dare to look at Shang Ruoyi with lecherous eyes anymore.

After the events of the night, everyone's sleepiness was gone. The sense of weakness after surviving the disaster made them all sit limply on the ground.

Shang Ruoyi squatted beside He Jingheng's leg, gently pressed it a few times, and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

He Jingheng didn't speak, just looked at her with deep eyes.

After a while, without getting a reply from him, thinking he had fallen asleep, Shang Ruoyi looked up and directly met his teasing eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

"Looking at you, the liar."

Shang Ruoyi was momentarily stunned. "Liar?"

"Isn't it?" He Jingheng smiled. "That white tiger, don't you have any impression?"

"What white tiger? I don't know." Shang Ruoyi looked at his leg. "Your leg is fine. I'm going back to sleep first." As soon as she tried to stand up, her wrist was grasped by a strong big hand.

Shang Ruoyi's face turned red. "What are you doing? Men and women should not have improper contact."

"Aren't you a doctor? In the eyes of a doctor, there is no such thing as male and female." He exerted force with his hand and pulled her towards him. The distance between the two suddenly shortened. She heard his voice gently ring in her ear, "Besides, you are my wife, properly married. Where does this talk of improper contact come from?"

Shang Ruoyi's face turned slightly red. She thought to herself that this person, who looked so serious, was actually a rascal.

"That was the white tiger you said got lost in the dense forest just now, right?"

"How would I know? All white tigers in the world look the same. Did you mark it or something?" Shang Ruoyi gave him a white look.

"Didn't you notice? There's a plum - blossom - like pattern on its back." Shang Ruoyi was suddenly stunned. Was there? How could she not have noticed? Did he really mark it?

"Even if it's that one, if it wants to follow us all the way, what can I do?" Shang Ruoyi shook her wrist a few times but couldn't break free no matter what. Her eyes turned cold.

He Jingheng felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand, and then he lost consciousness.

Shang Ruoyi pinched a silver needle between her fingertips and pulled her wrist back. "If you provoke me again, I'll paralyze your whole body."

He Jingheng felt that his right hand, which had already regained consciousness, raised his eyebrows. The momentary paralysis just now seemed like an illusion.

Shang Ruoyi turned and left. She heard He Jingheng's voice from behind, "Actually, the mark on that stupid tiger was just something I made up."

Shang Ruoyi's steps paused. She was wrong. She should have paralyzed his whole body just now.

"Look, look, tsk tsk tsk, so affectionate."

"It seems that He Jingheng is really infatuated with that woman. So as long as we control Shang Ruoyi, we can completely manipulate He Jingheng."

"Even heroes can't resist the charms of beauty."

He Jingheng glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eye and snorted softly. Using a woman to control him? If this was He Lingsheng's method, then the position of the Crown Prince really needed to be given up.

In the Xiao Wang Mansion.

The prince of the Xiao Wang Mansion held two silver needles and looked at them for a long time. "Are you sure these silver needles are from that concubine - born daughter of Prime Minister Shang?"

"Exactly. This subordinate pulled them out personally from the body of the brother who was hit by the hidden weapon."

He Qing endured the severe pain in his body, his fingers trembling as he pointed at the two silver needles, and shouted angrily, "It must be her! That little slut Shang Ruoyi, how dare she! How dare she plot against me! I'll kill her!"

The prince of the Xiao Wang Mansion said in a deep voice, "Does he hurt as much as the Crown Prince?"

"No." When He Qing heard this, his anger grew even stronger. "Why? Why does only this Crown Prince hurt so much?"

The man paused and said in a low voice, "He didn't feel any pain. He just died suddenly after coming back."

Died suddenly!

When He Qing heard this, he silently closed his mouth. It was better to live like this than to die suddenly.

The two silver needles were sent to the Eastern Palace of the Crown Prince. He Lingsheng frowned tightly and said in a deep voice, "It seems that I underestimated her."
