Chapter 978: Actually, Im Here to Rescue You

Ning Shu lifted the sack and placed it on her shoulder. After grabbing an oil lamp, she bent over and started walking through the tunnel.

It was impossible to stand straight in the tunnel. Ning Shu felt that her little waist was about to snap.

When she became too tired to carry the sack, she just dragged it on the ground. However, she eventually did get to the place.

Above her were limestone slabs. Ning Shu pushed the slab up hard, but as soon as she managed to lift it, someone stomped down.

Ning Shu was startled. Had someone discovered her?

After a good while, Ning Shu pushed it a little again to make a slight gap. Through the gap she saw a pair of shoes that were embroidered with fortuitous clouds.

Where did this huge rat come from? Xuan Hongyu stomped the limestone slab back down.

Ning Shu: ...

Master, its this subordinate. Please stop stomping. Ning Shu pushed hard to move the slab aside, then heaved the sack up first before climbing out from the tunnel.

When Xuan Hongyu saw Ning Shu, he lifted his brows in surprise. Youre not dead yet?

Ning Shu: ...

She didnt know why, but she really wanted to beat him up. He looked like he needed to be beat up. As expected, he knew about the fact that his death soldiers corpses were being hung up at the city gates.

Ning Shu took in Xuan Hongyus appearance. He didnt seem like he was a prisoner at all.

Master, this subordinates here to rescue you. Lets go, said Ning Shu.

Xuan Hongyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said uncaringly, Leave this place to go where?

Anywhere in the grand wide world. As Ning Shu spoke, she opened the sack. Inside was a mans corpse.

Xuan Hongyu glanced at the corpse, then lifted his eyebrows to look towards Ning Shu.

Master, please come with this subordinate, said Ning Shu. She was clearly here to rescue him, but why did things seem so troublesome?

Xuan Hongyu looked at Ning Shu. Then where are we going?

Lets talk about it after we get out first. Could we get out of here first before worrying about where were going?

You carried a corpse here to use it as a replacement for this prince? A cold smile appeared on Xuan Hongyus face. Something this lowly will be able to be buried with the honor of the resolved prince and enjoy the wors.h.i.+p of the imperial clan?

Ning Shu: ()

My fricking G.o.d! He was so hard to please!
