Chapter 552: Chapter 549: Young Master Bai_1

The sound of the bone whistle could be heard by him, and others could also hear it...

If he went out rashly to meet someone upon hearing the whistle, it would be inappropriate and easy to be caught red-handed.

The whistle sounded several times from different directions and finally disappeared into the dark night of Nanrong.

The next morning, before dawn, Lu Ping and his group were resting in the tent. Lu Ping, who was sleeping with a sword in his arms, twitched his ears and suddenly woke up.

The Bai family guards accompanying Lu Ping also suddenly opened their eyes, leaping up, hands on their swords, ready to draw and fully alert.

Lu Ping waved his hand, signaling everyone to lie down.

The footsteps were irregular, indicating it should be the Nanrong army.

Lu Ping and his group pretended to sleep.

Soon, the Nanrong army broke into the tent. The Bai family guard who spoke the Rong language feigned being startled awake and shouted: "Who are you! How dare you break into someone else’s tent!"

"Take them all away!"

Lu Ping’s group did not resist and were disarmed and escorted away.

The group was detained in a large tent used for interrogating and detaining traffickers. They went a whole day without food or water until sunset. Only then did a man with a ghost mask and armor, accompanied by his guards, enter the tent.

Lu Ping and the others, with bound hands and feet, sat cross-legged on the hay in the cage. When they saw someone coming, the Bai family guard who spoke the Rong language immediately rushed to the fence and shouted: "General, we just wanted to exchange as little grain as possible for some high-quality furs. We didn’t cheat the Rong people! If you think we gave too little grain, we can give more! There’s no need to imprison us like this! We are...using what you urgently need to exchange for what you don’t need!"

Lu Ping stared at the Nanrong general wearing the ghost mask and holding a sword. The general handed his sword to the guard beside him, sat on the chair brought by the guard, looking quite valiant like the Rong people.

"Last night...did any of you blow the whistle?" The ghost-masked general’s hoarse and unpleasant voice rang out.

The Bai family guard who spoke the Rong language quickly turned his head and said: "This general is asking if any of us blew the whistle last night!"

Lu Ping clenched his fist, stood up, and said: "What, we can’t whistle while urinating?"

The Bai family guard who spoke the Rong language hurriedly explained to the ghost-masked general: "This is our master! Our master has been unaccustomed to the water and soil since he arrived in the Rong lands. It is extremely uncomfortable for him to urinate, taking a long time each time. An old Rong man taught him a method, giving our master a bone whistle to blow while urinating to alleviate it somewhat."

The ghost-masked general continued to interrogate. The Bai family guard who spoke the Rong language answered everything reasonably.

The ghost-masked general squinted, pointed at Lu Ping, and said: "Bring him out and let him demonstrate how he whistles and urinates..."

The Nanrong soldiers laughed loudly upon hearing this.

The Bai family guard who spoke the Rong language, looking extremely embarrassed, said to Lu Ping: "Master, they want you to demonstrate how you whistle and urinate."

Lu Ping’s face changed, looking grim: "A man can be killed but not humiliated!"
