Princess Medical Doctor

Xuanyuan Yu couldn't accept Xiao Tianyao's words. He was a prince of the Central Empire, the prince his imperial father loved. How could his father not redeem him with money?

"The reason is very simple. The face of the Central Empire is more important than your life." How could the dignified Central Empire compromise with a group of bandits? What was the face the Central Empire would show when it spread?

Of course, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was, that if the Central Empire compromised this time, paying the ransom to these bandits would be tantamount to condoning the bandits' behavior. More and more people will follow suit in the future, so more and more imperial family members will get hurt.

Whether it will be for the sake of face or to prevent this kind of behavior, the Central Empire will not pay ransom to bandits.

Xuanyuan Yu was not that stupid. Xiao Tianyao made his words so clear that no matter how stupid he was, he could understand.

"Since the Central Empire won't pay the ransom, why did the bandits kidnap us?" He didn't believe that the bandits didn't understand such a simple truth.

"Those bandits wanted to kidnap me, not you. If they kidnapped me… and I wanted to live, I would naturally send someone to send a ransom. Kidnapping you was an accident. Of course, you can't expect a group of bandits to think about this problem. After all, if they have brains, they won't choose to be a robber.” Xiao Tianyao explained to Xuanyuan Yu patiently, but the more he explained, the more uneasy the young prince became: “So, we can’t count on the Central Empire to save us?”

The education he received since he was a child made him choose death bravely between royal dignity and death, but he was still a little scared when death was approaching. Yes, just a little bit. This little bit of fear was because he was too young and didn't want to die too early. He would never admit that he was afraid of death.

"No, the Central Empire will save us, but they won't give money to redeem us. The Central Empire will use other methods to save us, but we can't decide whether it will succeed, so we have to think of other ways." Xiao Tianyao answered his question. Lin Chujiu had dealt with the state. She knew exactly what the state would do when faced with the threat of a group of bandits.

For the safety of other people’s lives and the dignity of the country, the country will never condone the behavior of robbers but will crack it down severely.

The country will try its best to save their lives, but it will never satisfy the robbers’ demands for their lives, making the robbers think that the country is weak and deceitful, allowing others to follow suit and endangering the safety of more people.

"Help ourselves? How can we save ourselves now that we're like this?" Seeing no hope, he suddenly became flustered, but hearing the voices of Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu, Xuanyuan Yu gradually calmed down, calmly thinking about getting out method.

"Don't act rashly, we won't abandon you." Lin Chujiu heard the uneasiness and eagerness in the young prince's tone and reminded in a low voice: "You are the prince of the Central Empire, we will never abandon you no matter what. "

To make the little prince trust them, Lin Chujiu added another sentence: "If something happens to you while we are alive, the Central Empire will not let us go. For our lives, we will save you. You must not act without authorization. We will take you with us when we go out."

The little prince of the Central Empire was raised like a princess. She was really afraid that after learning that the Central Empire would not pay money to redeem him, the little prince would make a fuss regardless, which would be troublesome.

"Also, you must not let the people outside know that the Central Empire will not spend money to redeem us. You must let them believe that as long as we are alive, they will get the money." Lin Chujiu doesn't know if the three of them will be imprisoned together, so she can only warn them.

"Can I believe you?" Although the little prince was frightened, he still had the precautions he should have.

He was from the royal family after all, so no matter how naive he was, he was still much better than ordinary children.

Xiao Tianyao spoke at the right time and said coldly: "You can only trust us now. You cannot save yourself."

Don't say that this little prince was just a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. Even if he was an adult, he would not have the ability to escape when facing five martial gods.

"I understand." The little prince seemed to be greatly suppressed. It took him a long time to respond, and then… he stopped talking.

Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu had no desire to speak. There was dead silence in the carriage, except for the shallow breathing of the three of them.

The carriage continued to move forward at a high speed, but the three of them were blindfolded. They had no idea which direction they were going, or how long they would have to go.

In this situation, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu couldn't sleep. Lin Chujiu counted the time silently in her heart, but the more she counted, the more irritated she became.

They ran for a full three hours. If there were no accidents, it would be dawned in half an hour.

At dawn, the people of the Central Empire will definitely notice that they are missing, but they traveled so far, can the people of the Central Empire find them?

Although he couldn't see it, Xiao Tianyao sensed Lin Chujiu's uneasiness. Xiao Tianyao moved his body slightly to let Lin Chujiu lean on him: "Don't worry, with benwang here, everything will be fine."

"Huh?" Xiao Tianyao's tone was so firm that Lin Chujiu couldn't help but be stunned. She instinctively raised her head, even though she couldn't see anything.

“Believe me, with benwang, everything will be fine.” Xiao Tianyao didn’t say anything, he just reassured Lin Chujiu in a low voice.

"I understand." Who knows if she was thinking too much or what, Lin Chujiu always felt that Xiao Tianyao's words had some deep meaning, but she couldn't think of any deep meaning.

Lin Chujiu leaned into Xiao Tianyao's arms, and her restless mood gradually calmed down. The little prince seemed to have been infected by the two of them and gradually calmed down. After a while, there was a shallow breathing sound, as if it sounded like someone had fallen asleep.

After traveling for about half an hour, the carriage stopped, but the bandits did not let them get off the carriage, but directly lifted the carriage.

The carriage was lifted suddenly, Lin Chujiu was startled and almost rolled out. The young prince was also startled, he rolled half a circle in the carriage and hit the wall of the carriage, which made a loud bang.

The young prince grinned in pain, but he couldn't use his hands.

“Damn it!” The collision seemed to hurt his neck and the corner of his mouth, so the young prince couldn’t help but curse.

Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu were not in the mood to care about the young prince's mood. Lin Chujiu pricked up her ears and listened to what was going on outside.

"There is the sound of water… not good, they are going to carry us onto the boat and go by water." There will be some footprints left on the land, but there will be no trace left on the water.

At this time, the young prince couldn't care less about the pain, and he asked in a low voice: "Does this mean that if the soldiers of the Central Empire haven't found us before today, they probably won't be able to find us?"

“Yes!” Lin Chujiu responded silently.

The other party has a very thorough plan. It won't be easy for the Central Empire to find them and rescue them… …
