I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

Luo Bai ran all morning, turned over a small hill, and saw a large open space below, full of soldiers stationed, with large and small temporary military tents in between.

Luo Bai saw several flags with patterns he had seen in the palace, and knew that these were Dayin soldiers.

He didn't intend to stay, so he didn't go down, and continued to move forward from the top of the hill.After not walking far, the mountain bag came to an end, and a bottomless cliff appeared in front of it.

The cliffs are separated by dozens of feet, and there are only steep and smooth mountain walls on the opposite side. Without a bridge, it is impossible to cross.

Suddenly there was an abnormal sound of wind above his head, as if something was piercing through the air, Luo Bai raised his head, and saw several dense arrows flying towards his left side in unison.

His eyes widened suddenly, and he followed the arrows with his head. He saw them shoot towards the bottom of the hill, hit a shield wall, and made a loud sound of gold and iron clashing.

Luo Bai saw that after the rain of arrows was over, the shield wall moved away, and a few soldiers emerged from below, rushing to a small platform on the edge of the cliff, and someone began to swing a hammer, making a clanging sound.

He looked along, only to find a very thick iron chain connected between the cliffs, and those soldiers were fixing the iron chain to the iron post.

But at this moment, arrows whistled in the sky again. The platform was too small to accommodate too many people. The soldiers holding their shields could only stand in a slightly open space behind, and the soldiers by the cliff had to give up their arms. Put on the unfastened iron chain and run behind the shield wall.

One soldier slowed down a little, and was immediately shot by an arrow in the back, and was quickly dragged back behind the shield wall by the others.

Luo Bai stood on the mountain bag, looked at the iron chain swaying slightly in the wind, then looked at the opposite cliff, tightened the burden on his back, and started to descend the mountain.

"Lieutenant Lin, this is really not a solution. The arrows of those days kept falling, but our arrows couldn't hit them. It took dozens of brothers to fix an iron chain and fix it. The other one can be used to build the bridge slab, and only after the bridge slab is built can we dig through the sky, so when can we go to Jindu." A soldier asked in a hoarse voice, wiping the snow flakes off his face.

Lieutenant Lin's lips were also blue from the cold, but he ordered in the same hoarse voice: "Your Majesty is trapped in Jindu City, but the army behind us cannot pass through the crow's mouth. Ning Zuo was slaughtered just a few days ago. It will take a few more days, and once Jindu falls, it will be unimaginable. Even if it takes our lives to pile it up, we must repair this chain bridge."

"Yes." The soldiers responded in unison.

Just when several soldiers were about to step forward, someone shouted in surprise: "What is that? It's on the chain, look."

Everyone looked out from the gap in the shield wall and saw something moving slowly on the iron chain that traversed the cliff.

"Look, there's a moving pile of straw."

"It's not straw. It looks like a cat from the head and paws, a big white cat."

"How could there be a cat here? I'm afraid it's some kind of wild animal."

"In such a cold day and with so many people, the wild animal will definitely not come close, and it will be impossible to hide - no, maybe it is really a wild animal, like a white leopard."

"Yes, it's a white leopard cub. It seems to be carrying something on its back."

"A leopard wrapped in straw and carrying a bundle is rare."

Luo Bai was crawling forward with the iron chain in his arms. The iron chain was covered with a thick layer of ice, making it slippery. Every time he took a step forward, he had to use his claws to cut through the ice layer, and then grabbed the iron chain. Kong, move forward slowly.

There is a bottomless abyss under the feet, only thick fog can be seen, and the strong wind blows on the top, which is as cold as a knife.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blew by, and the iron chain swayed with the wind, so he stopped and fixed himself on it with all his strength, looking from a distance, it was like a small leaf hanging on the branch of the wind and rain.

The soldiers watched intently, sweating for the cub at the moment. Even though it was only a leopard, they could empathize with its difficulties and hoped that it would reach the opposite side safely.

Lieutenant Lin looked out from the crowd, stared at the white leopard on the iron chain and thought: "I heard from a few imperial guards that they mentioned that His Majesty raised a white leopard, which he occasionally sees in the palace. , that young leopard is very human, has saved His Majesty several times, and is called the god leopard by them. It is said that the god leopard likes to wear a crown, and sometimes carries a burden. You see, it also carries a burden, maybe it is the one in the palace. "

"Then, did it know that His Majesty was trapped, and then drove all the way from the capital to Jindu?" A soldier blurted out.

The rest of the soldiers were shocked and fell silent.

"Shenbao, work harder!" Someone suddenly hissed and shouted.

"Yes, Shenbao, work harder."

Others also put their hands around their mouths and shouted at Luo Bai, and the voices echoed in the abyss one after another.

Luo Bai heard their shouts, Shenbao?Are they calling me?It should be me, I am the god leopard cat Elvis Presley.

He turned his head with difficulty, his eyes half-closed by the strong wind, and saw the soldiers waving at him, trying to grin, but just as he opened his mouth, the wind filled his mouth, and he quickly closed it again.

He also wanted to wave his paw at them, but knowing that he was still holding the iron chain and couldn't let go of his paw, he swung that little tail in a circle as a greeting.

A soldier looked up at the sky, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "The Dagers on the top of the mountain over there are going to shoot arrows again."

"Arrows don't have eyes, so they can't hurt that panther."

"Is there any way? The arrow rain is too wide, and it will inevitably hurt."

Lieutenant Lin ordered decisively: "Everyone take ten steps back, leave this sheltered mountain wall, bring the arrows back, and immediately go forward to repair the bridge after the leopard leaves."

"Yes."

All the soldiers retreated immediately, and as soon as they left the barely sheltered cliff, arrows came overwhelmingly.They connected the shields in their hands to set up a barrier above their heads, and people hid underneath.

Luo Bai also heard the sound of the arrows piercing through the air, and couldn't help but look up. When he saw the locust-like arrow rain covering the sky, he couldn't help his scalp tingling, but the direction of those arrows was obviously not him, but Pounced behind.

He hurried forward, his claws rising and falling quickly, scratching through the ice layer on the iron chain, and the ice cubes fell to the bottom of the cliff with a rustling sound.

But suddenly an arrow shot at him, and the sharp whistle made him alert.The little leopard looked up, its eyes widened in fright, and with a slip of its paw, the whole leopard slipped off the chain.

Fortunately, although his body suddenly fell into the air, his paws were tightly hugged, and he changed to a posture of facing up and hanging on the iron chain.The arrow pierced through the place where he was lying down just now, and fell into the abyss.

After this scare, Luo Bai's movements immediately became several times faster, just hanging upside down like that, crawling forward like a squirrel.

It's just that the burden on his back was loose, and the belt that contained the golden beans was not fastened tightly, and some golden beans were spilled.

Fortunately, reason overcame impulsiveness, and finally insisted on climbing forward. He finally climbed to the top of the long iron chain and jumped onto the opposite stone platform.

With the blocking of the mountain wall here, there will be no more bows and arrows. After he stood still, he looked towards the opposite side and saw that the soldiers had also escaped a wave of arrows and were taking off the shields above their heads.

Luo Bai waved his paws at them to say goodbye, but saw a man who looked like an officer shouting at him.

Although the distance was not too far, there was a strong wind in the deep stream, and the sound was blown away before reaching the other side, so the officer picked up an iron chain on the ground, made a throwing motion, and then pointed at Luo Bai.

Luo Bai:? ? ?

The officer tossed the iron chain in his hand in vain again, and after completing this action, he continued to point his finger at him.

Luo Bai: ...

Luo Bai wondered if this was a gesture of greeting, so he pretended to throw it, and then stretched out his claws to point at the officer.

The officer shook his head sharply, with anxiety on his face, Luo Bai could see that he must have something urgent to do, but he really couldn't understand those movements, so he stood there blankly.

Seeing the officer talking to the soldier beside him, he thought that he would not call him anymore, and was about to turn around and leave, but saw the soldier suddenly leaned over and walked a few steps with his hands on the ground.The person next to him quickly took off his outer robe, rolled it into a bundle and carried it on his back.

The soldier's movements were so lifelike, Luo Bai could tell right away that he was imitating a leopard, and with that burden, it was obviously himself, and his eyes lit up involuntarily.

The officer threw the iron chain in his hand to the soldier, he caught the chain, and tied it to the iron stake supported by a person next to him.

Luo Bai turned his head to look beside him, and saw an iron stake embedded on one side of the stone platform, and finally realized that the person on the other side wanted to throw the iron chain over, let him catch it, and fix it on the iron stake.

"We've been gesticulating here for a long time, can it figure it out?" The soldier dressed as a leopard straightened up and asked nervously.

Lin Xiaowei said: "It must be possible. Those imperial guards said that it knows astronomy above and geography below.

The soldiers gasped, and looked at the little leopard opposite with a little more reverence.

Luo Bai still didn't know that he had been passed on to be miraculous, so he straightened up, patted the chest of the person opposite him, signaled that he understood, then stretched out his paw to Captain Lin, and ticked it up.

"Hiss... it really understands, and it's telling us to throw it over."

The man with the strongest arms among the soldiers held the iron chain, and several soldiers surrounded him with shields and pushed towards the cliff together.When the distance was right, the soldier didn't delay, and asked the other soldiers to grab one end of the chain, and with a roar, he threw the chain in his hands towards the opposite side.

The iron chain shook in the air, and like a long snake, it flew towards Luo Bai opposite.

Luo Bai's eyes were fixed on the front, and when the iron chain flew over him, he suddenly jumped up, his claws inserted into the holes in the iron chain, and then he hugged it tightly and landed on the ground.

"Success!" The soldiers on the opposite side began to cheer, but then they watched Xiaobao's movements with bated breath.

A soldier looked at Luo Bai, but bumped his elbow into the companion beside him, and asked a little nervously, "Do you think Xiaobao will know the buckle to hang the chain on the iron post?"

The companion was watching intently, and didn't bother to wipe the snot from the cold. He just said: "Why not? Who are you looking down on? I didn't hear Lieutenant Lin say that it is His Majesty's imperial leopard, who can recite poems and compose poems, and speak eloquently. Do you want to take the imperial examination next year?"

Luo Bai, who had already taken part in next year's imperial examination, held one end of the iron chain and dragged it to the iron post, thinking about how to tie it to it.

He saw a buckle on the iron post, and there used to be such a buckle on the wall of his brother's bedroom. When the little villain made trouble, he would use the iron chain to buckle his wrist, and the other end would hang on the buckle.

Luo Bai pressed the buckle switch, and after hearing a click, he put the iron chain inside, and then pressed down with his claws, the switch was closed, and the iron chain was locked firmly.

"Shenbao, it really is a Shenbao." Amidst the cheers of the soldiers, Lieutenant Lin blushed with excitement, and it took a lot of effort to utter these words completely.

With two iron chains, the bridge board can be built to allow the army to pass smoothly.But they have lost many people just by pulling on an iron chain.And this iron chain was pulled so easily, how could he not be excited?

Luo Bai saw that the people opposite him were so happy, and they all cheered for him. If it was normal, they would definitely be in a high mood and twist their buttocks at them.But now he was worried about his brother's safety, so he just waved his paw at them and began to organize himself.

He re-tightened some loose bundles, and moved a few bundles of straw around his waist to his belly—he just rubbed the straw off his belly on the iron chain, but he knew that his belly couldn’t get cold—and then Turn around and walk back.

Walking through this small stone platform, behind is a passage filled with snow, with steep mountain walls on both sides. This is the only way to Jindu City, the crow's mouth on a line of sky.

Luo Bai walked to the passageway that was piled up with snow all the way to the top, and began to try to climb up, but the snow was too soft, he slid down before climbing two steps, and sat down on the snowdrift.

Leopard got out of the snowdrift, shook off the snow foam on his head and face, and began to look at the mountain walls on both sides.

The mountain wall was as vertical as an ax chisel, there was no climbing point at all, and it was very hard. He scratched it down vigorously with his claws, leaving only a few shallow scratches.

Fortunately, there are many dead vines hanging on the mountain wall, one can imagine how verdant and dense the mountain would be in spring.

Luo Bai aimed at the vine closest to him, jumped up and grabbed it, and shook it back and forth in the air a few times.The withered vine made several crackling sounds, and finally held on tenaciously, hanging Luo Bai on the mountain wall.

If someone wants to climb up the mountain with the help of this withered vine, it must be impossible, but Luo Bai is a little leopard at this time, with a light weight, just within the range of the withered vine.Moreover, there were many dead vines on the mountain wall, so he swung from one to the other and slowly climbed to the top of the mountain.

As long as you climb over this mountain, you can go to Jindu City.

Although the cliff was steep, it wasn't too high, and there were more dead vines on the upper part, densely growing on the mountain wall. He didn't need to swing around, he could climb up quickly, and he would reach the top in a short while.

At this moment, he heard conversations coming from above his head. Those words were very strange, like a carrot in his mouth, which made him unable to understand, but the arrows flying down from the top of his head immediately made him understand. , They are the Dagar people who shoot arrows at the bottom.

Luo Bai didn't dare to continue climbing, so he hung on the mountain wall.

He considers himself a big leopard, and if he climbs up rashly, he will be shot as a beehive leopard on the spot. He didn't expect that in the eyes of people, leopards will not be classified as big leopards or dager leopards.

Another rain of arrows fell, and he could see the soldiers at the bottom of the opposite mountain wall. He immediately opened his shields and quickly laid bridge slabs on the iron chains, half of which had already been laid.

But at this moment, he heard a rumbling sound above his head, as if some heavy wheels were moving.

The mountain shook with a bang, and a shadow was cast on Luo Bai's head. He looked up suddenly, and saw a huge boulder draw an arc in the sky, and then fell straight down, hitting the iron chain bridge that was being laid.

There were still soldiers on the bridge, some were holding shields, some were laying planks, Luo Bai saw the boulder flying towards them, and let out a loud cry.

The soldiers also found the boulder and retreated in a hurry, but how could they keep up with the speed at which the boulder fell?In an instant, the stone hit the chain bridge, and the newly laid bridge deck was smashed to pieces and fell into the cliff. At the same time, several people who had no time to retreat also fell down the cliff.

There was chaos below, the boulder continued to roll down the mountain wall into the abyss, making a deafening crash, and the snow on the mountain was trembling, as if it was about to collapse.But the Dagers took this opportunity to raise their bows and arrows, aiming at the soldiers below who had lost their shields and had no time to retreat.

Captain Dagel stood on the top of the mountain, raised his arm and was about to order to shoot an arrow, but he felt a blur in front of his eyes, and there was a white thing suddenly shooting out from the edge of the cliff under his feet.
