Chapter 2473: A Bag of Steamed Buns
Running and shouting, "Master, master, wait for me."
A talking tiger is simply unheard of in the world, luckily this is the outskirts, with not a soul around, otherwise people would surely think they’ve seen a ghost.
Little Tiger stretched its legs and ran swiftly, while the horse Xuexue rode was just ahead.
Suddenly, the tiger used force with its front paws on the ground, and its whole body flew up, soaring towards the horseback...
In the blink of an eye, Little Tiger transformed into the appearance of a young boy, sitting steadily behind Xuexue, facing the rushing wind, unable to help complaining loudly: "Master, you’re too inhumane, I helped you get the horse back, yet you left me behind."
Xuexue grabbed the reins with both hands, half-bent, turned her head and said, "You shamelessly say that, it was the beasts you summoned that scared the horse away, isn’t it right for you to summon it back?"
Little Tiger was speechless, thinking to himself, Master, your twisted logic is too much, I’m no match for you.
After a while, feeling something wasn’t right, he couldn’t help but said again, "Master, didn’t I summon the beasts to save you?"
Earlier, Xuexue was ambushed by Lin Kong, and the situation was extremely urgent, so Little Tiger summoned the beasts to help.
With the wind constantly howling in his ears, Xuexue turned his head and shouted loudly, "What? What did you say? I can’t hear you."
Little Tiger repeated himself, but Xuexue still couldn’t hear, Little Tiger had no choice, resigned to his bad luck, "Alright, if you can’t hear, you can’t hear."
Xuexue turned back, the corners of her mouth raised in a silent smile, she wasn’t deaf at all, she was just playing hard to get!

The street is flanked by tea houses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops. On the empty spaces along the street, there are quite a few small vendors with large umbrellas. The street extends east and west, all the way to the quieter suburbs outside the city, but pedestrians continue busily, pausing and buying, looking at the little trinkets in the shops with interest.
At this moment, a carriage came driving from the distance down the street. This carriage was quite ordinary, no different from the others, except the man driving it was wrapped up very tightly, wearing a conical hat with his head hanging low, appearing out of place with the surrounding people.
In this hot weather, dressed so warmly, isn’t he worried about getting prickly heat? Occasionally, someone would cast him a strange look, wondering if this carriage driver might be a fool, dressed like this in such heat.
The carriage driver was not at all concerned about others’ gazes, he stopped the carriage at a bustling spot, got out to buy a bag of steamed buns, and continued on his way.
Everyone was just passing through on their journey, and after being surprised, busied themselves with their own affairs, not paying him much attention.
The carriage had just left, when several tall horses came galloping rapidly up the street, carrying well-dressed riders, clearly people from wealthy families, and the street vendors quickly moved aside.
"Whoa...!"
The horses stopped, and a tall man dismounted, inquiring of a nearby vendor, "Have you seen a suspicious carriage pass by?"
It turns out this man was Long Yi, here to rescue the Prince, with Zi Xia and several guards sitting on the horses next to him.
Confronted by the noble’s inquiry, the vendor, an old man, was somewhat anxious and stammered, "There are so many carriages passing by every day, which carriage does the noble want to ask about?"
Long Yi was quite troubled too, there really wasn’t anything special about them, they were just guessing. Since the opponent wants to smuggle the Prince out of Moli Country, they must be using a carriage, so lots of people were sent to chase by land and water, and they were just one of those groups.
