Xuanyuan Yu couldn't accept Xiao Tianyao's words, he was the little prince of the empire, the prince he loved by his father, how could his father not redeem him with money
"The reason is very simple, the face of the empire is more important than your life." How could the dignified central empire compromise like a group of bandits, what is the face of the empire
Of course, this is still the most important thing. The most important thing is that the empire has compromised this time. Paying the ransom to these bandits is tantamount to condoning the bandits’ behavior. More and more people will follow suit in the future, so they will be hurt. There will be more and more people.
Whether it's for face, not to prevent this kind of behavior, the Empire will not pay ransoms to bandits.
Xuanyuanyu is not stupid, Xiao Tianyao understands what he said so clearly, no matter how stupid he is.
"Since the empire won't pay the ransom, why did those bandits kidnap us?" He didn't believe those bandits didn't understand such a simple truth.
"Those bandits want to kidnap me, not you. They kidnapped me... I want to live, so of course someone will send a ransom. Kidnapping you is an accident. Of course, you can't expect a group of bandits to think of this, after all, if they have My mind won’t be empty, and I can become a robber.” Xiao Tianyao explained it patiently to Xuanyuan Yu, but the more he explained, the more uneasy the little prince became: “So, we can’t count on the empire to save us? "
The education he received from a young age made him choose death heroically between royal dignity and death, but he was still a little scared when death was really approaching. Yes, only a little bit, and this little bit of fear is also because he is too young to die too early, and he will never admit that he is afraid of death.
"No, the empire will save us, but it will not give us money to redeem us. The empire will use other methods to save us, but whether it can be successful or not, we must think of other ways." Xiao Tianyao, the ninth generation of Lin Chu, answered this question, She had dealt with the state apparatus, and she knew very well what the state would do when threatened by a group of bandits.
For the safety of other people's lives and the dignity of the country, the country will never condone the acts of robbers, and will only crack down on them.
The state will try to save their lives as much as possible, but it will never satisfy the robbers’ demands for their lives, making the robbers think that the state is weak and deceiving, allowing others to follow suit and endangering the safety of more people.
"Rescue yourself? How can we help ourselves like this?" He couldn't see anything, and his heart was inevitably flustered, but when he heard the voices of Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu, the little prince Xuanyuanyu gradually calmed down and thought calmly to get out. method.
"Don't act rashly, we will not leave you." Lin Chujiu heard the unease and eagerness in the little prince's tone, and reminded in a low voice, "You are the prince of the empire, we will never leave you. "
In order to convince the little prince, Lin Chujiu added another sentence: "If something happens to you while we are alive, the empire will not let us go. For our lives, we will also save you. You must not act without authorization. If I can go out, I will definitely take you with me."
The little prince of the empire was raised like a princess, and she was really afraid that the little prince would be troublesome if he didn't care about making a fuss after learning that the empire would not offer money to redeem him.
"Also, you must not let the group of people outside know that the empire will not spend money to redeem us. You must let them know that as long as we are good, they will get the money." Being imprisoned together, Lin Chujiu could only warn in advance.
"Can I trust you?" Although the little prince was frightened, he still had the precautions he should have.
After all, he came from a royal family, and no matter how naive he was, he was much stronger than the children of ordinary families.
Xiao Tianyao spoke at the right time and said coldly: "You can only trust us now, you have no ability to save yourself at all."
Not to mention that this little prince is only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, even if he is an adult, he has no ability to escape in the face of five Martial Saints.
"I understand." The little prince seemed to have been severely suppressed. It took a long time for him to respond, and then... he stopped talking.
Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu had no desire to speak either. The carriage was dead silent except for the sound of the three of them breathing shallowly.
The carriage continued to move fast, but the three of them were blindfolded, and they didn't know which way to go, nor how long it would take.
In this case, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu couldn't sleep. Lin Chujiu silently calculated the time in his heart, but the more he calculated, the more irritable he became.
They ran for a full three hours, and if there was no accident, it would be dawn in half an hour.
At dawn, the people of the Empire will definitely be able to find them missing, but they have run so far, can the people of the Empire find them
Although he couldn't see it, Xiao Tianyao sensed Lin Chujiu's unease. Xiao Tianyao moved his body slightly and let Lin Chujiu lean on him: "Don't worry, there will be nothing wrong with this king."
"Huh?" Xiao Tianyao's tone was too determined, Lin Chujiu couldn't help but be stunned, instinctively raised his head, but couldn't see anything.
"Trust me, I'll be fine." Xiao Tianyao didn't say anything, just assured Lin Chujiu in a low voice.
"I see." I don't know if she was thinking too much or what, Lin Chujiu always felt that Xiao Tianyao's words had deep meaning, but couldn't think of any deep meaning.
Lin Chujiuyi was in Xiao Tianyao's arms, and her irritable mood gradually calmed down. The little prince seemed to be infected by the two, and gradually calmed down. After a while, there was a shallow breathing sound, which sounded like Fell asleep.
After walking for another half an hour, the carriage stopped, but the bandits did not let them get off the carriage, but lifted the carriage directly.
When the carriage was suddenly lifted, Lin Chujiu was startled and almost rolled out. The little prince was also surprised. He rolled in the carriage for half a circle and hit the carriage with a loud bang.
The little prince grinned in pain, but he couldn't even touch it.
"Damn it!" The collision seemed to tug at the wounds at the corners of his neck and mouth, and the little prince couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.
Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu were not in the mood to care about the little prince's emotions. Lin Chujiu pricked up his ears and listened to the movement outside.
"There is the sound of water... No, they are trying to lift us onto the boat and take the waterway." There is still a little footprint left on land, but not a single trace on the water.
At this time, the little prince didn't care about the pain anymore, and he asked in a low voice, "Does this mean that if the soldiers of the empire hadn't found us before today, it's very likely that we wouldn't be able to find us?"
"Yes!" Lin Chujiu replied silently.
The other party's plan is very comprehensive, and it may not be easy for the empire to find them and rescue them...
