Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

The tiger roars in the mountains and forests, and the lingering sound is endless.

Even the people outside the paddock heard the aftermath, and their expressions showed excitement.

In the paddock, a tiger appeared.

Tigers often travel alone, hiding in deep mountains and old forests, and their whereabouts are hard to find.Dan rhinoceros is hunted in winter every three years, and it is not always lucky to hunt a tiger.

It is unknown who will hunt this tiger this year.

Just as everyone in the stands was discussing, Emperor Longfeng suddenly stood up. He had just taken a pill, and his whole body was exhausted. Not long ago, I made a divination for me, saying that I will have a small catastrophe this year, which is related to the tiger. If I can break the catastrophe, it will be extremely prosperous, and I will bless the swallow. I didn't understand what this meant before, but now I understand gone."

This "tiger" catastrophe, I'm afraid, is precisely due to this winter hunting of the red rhinoceros.

Master Ziyuan also told him that this catastrophe will be assisted by auspicious stars, and there is no danger, so he doesn't have to worry.

"Show me my armor, bow and arrow, and I will hunt the tiger myself." Emperor Longfeng stepped down from the stands, and then asked Gao Xian to send a message: "Send a message to the paddock, let them search for the whereabouts of the tiger, don't act rashly."

After finishing his speech, he put on a satin embroidered flat golden dragon and cloud pattern large armour, a scorpion and a waist knife under the service of the eunuchs, and just as the guards came to mount his horse, he stepped on the horse. horse.

When sitting on the horse, Emperor Longfeng's body surged with pride and ambition that had not been seen for a long time.

In the past, he also participated in the red rhinoceros hunting.

The Taizu of Dayan was born on horseback, so the royal family of Dayan has always had the tradition of walking around.When he first took the throne, he also participated in several winter hunts.It's just that he grew up in the cold palace when he was young, and he didn't have the opportunity to learn. Later, he learned it when he was older, and his riding and archery skills were not as good as those practiced when he was young.In addition, he was repeatedly suppressed by Tatars and Oirats in the winter hunting. After several defeats, he gradually lost interest and only asked the juniors of the clan to participate.

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but now, I still miss the excitement of galloping horses.

The Rejuvenation Pill lifted Emperor Longfeng's spirits, as if he had regained the energy he had when he was young.He tightened the reins, and the horse snorted and paced in place, and he couldn't wait to be shortlisted.

Seeing his excited expression, the ministers wanted to persuade him, but they were afraid of losing face by showing weakness in front of those two small countries.They had no choice but to surround Emperor Longfeng, let Duo Jia guard him, and sent several generals to accompany him.

Seeing that Emperor Longfeng was about to enter the paddock, Ahalu and the envoys of Wala stood up one after another after contemplating for a moment, asking to accompany them.

Emperor Longfeng lost a lot of face in front of these small countries in the early years, now seeing that they offered to accompany him, he only wanted to find an opportunity to earn back his face, he never refused, took a large group of people and went to the depths of the paddock.

Following the scent, the hound stopped and walked all the way, and finally found the cave where the tiger lived.

The hound stopped a hundred meters from the cave and barked several times towards the entrance of the cave.

The barking of the dog didn't stop, and a low, threatening roar sounded from the cave. The sound was definitely a tiger, but for some reason, the tiger didn't come out even after being provoked.

I don't know how deep the cave is, and it's dark at first glance, and I can't clearly see what's inside.

Yin Chengyu was about to order people to force the tiger out, when he heard a loud noise above his head, accompanied by the explosion of yellow smoke—this was a signal from outside the paddock, which meant that the emperor was shortlisted.Remind all the people in the paddock to prepare for the drive.

"Why is Your Majesty suddenly shortlisted?"

Emperor Longfeng hadn't been on the hunt for many years, the rest of the people were surprised and talked in low voices, but neither Yin Chengyu nor Xue Shu were surprised.

Emperor Longfeng was also shortlisted for winter hunting of Danrhinoceros in the previous life.This life will be no exception.

Yin Chengyu looked at the cave, but what he thought was that the previous Emperor Longfeng failed to hunt the tiger, but was injured by the tiger instead, and lost face in front of the Tatar and Oirat envoys.He frowned unobtrusively, ordered the accompanying soldiers to disperse, and surrounded the tiger's den on three sides to prevent the tiger from escaping.He also asked someone to shoot a few loud arrows not far away, marking the location of the tiger's den.

The group waited for half an hour before they saw Emperor Longfeng coming with his horse on horseback.

Immediately running for a long time, Emperor Longfeng was a little short of breath. When he got close, he took another pill, and then he felt exhausted and refreshed again.He glanced over Yin Chengyu and his party, and settled on the cave not far away: "Is the tiger in the cave?"

Yin Chengyu saluted, and replied: "Yes. To prevent the tiger from being angered, my son did not let anyone come close to investigate. The situation in the cave is unknown, and the tiger needs to be lured out so that it can be hunted conveniently."

Emperor Longfeng nodded, and said to his attendant Gao Xian, "Bring my blunderbuss."

In addition to the bow and arrow, Emperor Longfeng also brought a blunderbuss.

Gao Xian took the bird gun from the guard and handed it to him. Emperor Longfeng weighed the bird gun in his hand, and rode his horse to the front: "This is an improved bird gun newly presented by the Bureau of Military Battle. It is said that the firepower is stronger. The shooting range is farther. I haven't tried it yet, so I just use this beast to try it."

Seeing his excited expression, Yin Chengyu knew he couldn't persuade him.He could only wink at Xue Shu, He Shan and others, and stepped up his defense.In order not to go wrong again in a while, it will be embarrassing.

Emperor Longfeng held the gun, adjusted his posture, and fired a shot at the dark cave.

There was a loud noise in the cave, followed by an angry roar,

A tiger with yellow and black fur came out of the cave.Its body length is nearly nine feet, its neck and shoulders are as wide as it is, and its limbs are strong. It looks more majestic than ordinary tigers.The tiger's eyes were hanging upwards, and above the eyes was a patch of white, it turned out to be a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes.

At this time, its thick and long tiger tail covered with black rings swung impatiently, raised its head and roared threateningly at everyone, looking very fierce and not to be trifled with.

Seeing that it came out intact, Emperor Longfeng knew that the shot just now hadn't hit the beast.

Feeling a little unhappy in his heart, he picked up the blunderbuss and fired another shot.

This time it hit the tiger's front leg, the tiger suffered from the pain and suddenly became more manic, it seemed to know who had shot at him, turned around and came straight towards Emperor Longfeng.

Seeing this, the rest of the guards rushed forward to intercept it immediately, and were about to shoot the tiger with arrows, but Emperor Longfeng sternly stopped him: "Don't touch it! Keep it for me!"

The guards confronting the tiger put down their bows and arrows hesitantly after hearing the order and spread out.Emperor Longfeng stood on the spot, squinted his eyes and fired at the beast again.

But he didn't expect that the shot still missed the tiger's vitals, the lead bullet only grazed the tiger's fur, leaving a scorched bloodstain, which made the tiger growl angrily.

The tiger that was wounded again and again was even more ferocious. It no longer confronted the guards, but jumped up with a roar, passed over the guards, and went straight to Emperor Longfeng behind.

Emperor Longfeng never thought that this beast could be so fierce, he was only a hundred meters away from the tiger's den, the tiger jumped over the guards, and was about to come to him in an instant.Seeing that the situation was not good, Emperor Longfeng turned his horse's head hastily and wanted to retreat.In a panic, the blunderbuss slipped from his hand, and he could only yell "escort" while galloping on his horse.

All this happened within a few breaths, and the guards who reacted immediately stepped forward to escort, and Yin Chengyu had already made arrangements, and when he was about to order someone to hunt the tiger, Xue Shu rode his horse past him and held down his arm , whispered in his ear quickly and lightly: "Leave it to me."

Yin Chengyu paused, but did not give an order.

At this time, the tiger had already been hit by several arrows, but he didn't see any signs of decline. Instead, he became more fierce and rampaged in the escort team.

The pain on the body greatly aroused the tiger's viciousness, and it let out bursts of roars, as if it knew who had hurt him, and only looked for Emperor Longfeng who was protected in the middle, no matter how many guards came to block it, it would Or knock it away with your body or slap it away with your claws.

After a while, the guards around Emperor Longfeng were injured and fell down.

Emperor Longfeng looked at the tiger getting closer and shivered.He wanted to run, but his legs and feet felt weak for a while, and his hands were shaking so much that he didn't even have the strength to pull out the saber at his waist.

At this moment, everything in front of his eyes seemed to be in slow motion. He saw the beast knocked past the last guard, and was less than a foot away from him, so close that he could even smell the stench from the tiger's mouth.

And his son and the guards, yelling "Escort", are running towards him——

"Be careful, Your Majesty!" An angry shout woke up the stupefied Emperor Longfeng. He widened his eyes in horror, but saw that the tiger that was approaching him was abruptly pulled by the tail by Xue Shu, who was almost half an inch away. He had no choice but to roar manically.

Xue Shu's brows were solemn, his arms were bulging with veins, and he grabbed the tiger's tail tightly, dragging the tiger back.

The angry tiger finally turned his attention away, and turned his head to pounce on Xue Shu.

Xue Shu rolled away on the spot. Seeing that the tiger was far away from Emperor Longfeng, he didn't need to worry anymore, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Let the arrow!"

The guards, who were afraid of hurting the jade bottle by hitting the mouse, hurriedly raised their bows and shot arrows at the tiger.

The tiger was wounded a long time ago, and after holding on for so long, it was at the end of its force. It was full of arrows, roaring angrily and wanting to fight back, but because of the serious injury, it quickly fell to the ground, with an unwilling low in its throat. Roar.

Xue Shu walked around the tiger, and before everyone came back to their senses, he picked up the blunderbuss that had fallen on the ground, helped Emperor Longfeng up, put the bludgeon in his hand, and said quietly, "This beast has not yet When it dies, His Majesty should take its life."

Emperor Longfeng held the blunderbuss with trembling hands, took a few deep breaths, and finally regained his strength.Picking up the blunderbuss again, he shot the tiger on the ground in the head.

After the noise, the tiger let go with its last breath.

Emperor Longfeng flung the blunderbuss to the ground, and finally concealed the embarrassment just now, looked at Xue Shu with indistinct eyes, and said, "You saved me again."

He remembered that the real Ziyuan was helping the "auspicious star" he mentioned, and his eyes on Xue Shu became more complicated.

The "auspicious star" who rescued him twice is probably Xue Shu.

Xue Shu didn't take any credit, and said in a low voice, "This is what I should do."

No matter what the situation, he always has such an attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing.At the beginning, Emperor Longfeng liked him not to form cliques, and he was a pure minister.Later, he felt that he was getting too close to the prince, and he didn't have the slightest respect for him, so he got bored again.

But looking at his appearance at this time, Emperor Longfeng felt from the bottom of his heart that this was what loyal ministers did.

Thunder and rain are all grace.

Xue Shu is not arrogant when he is proud, nor complains when he is down.No matter how the king treats him, he still has a heart of loyalty.

It's a rare person.

Emperor Longfeng was about to praise a few words, but suddenly he heard an exclamation of "Father, be careful", he didn't have time to look back, he just felt that Yin Chengyu threw him to the ground suddenly, and took him to beat him several times. roll.

Before he could get angry, another mighty roar was heard.

Emperor Longfeng swallowed his saliva and got up from the ground, only to find that there was another tiger!

That tiger was taller and stronger than the previous one, at least ten feet long and four or five feet high.

Just now when everyone was talking, it lay in ambush silently in the forest, and when everyone relaxed their vigilance, it suddenly rushed towards Emperor Longfeng. If Yin Chengyu hadn't seen it with sharp eyes and rushed over to push him down, I am afraid that at this moment Longfeng The emperor has been buried in the tiger's mouth.

Emperor Longfeng got up from the ground in shock and was guarded by the guards. He gritted his teeth and said, "Quick! Kill this beast!"

Yin Chengyu pressed his right shoulder, stood beside him, and mouthed to Xue Shu who was looking over: kill.

There is no need to worry about Emperor Longfeng anymore. Although the tiger is more ferocious, it is easier to kill it.

In just a quarter of an hour, the strong tiger fell to the ground without breath.

Emperor Longfeng was very frightened today, looking at the two tiger corpses, he lost all interest.

He glanced at Yin Chengyu with complicated eyes, and ordered someone to drive and prepare to leave the paddock. Before leaving, he hesitated for a long time, and rarely asked Yin Chengyu in a gentle tone: "Did you get hurt just now? If you got hurt, come back with me." Palace."

"Thank you, father, for your compassion. My son and minister are not injured, so it's okay." Yin Chengyu replied with downcast eyes.

If he returned to the palace at this time, it would be tantamount to giving up the game.

Seeing that his complexion was still good, Emperor Longfeng didn't say any more, he was helped to get on the horse, and he went back first.

After leading them away, Xue Shu came forward, with fear in his eyes, and anger in his deliberately lowered voice: "Why did your Highness go so far to save him?!"

The moment he saw Yin Chengyu rushing over to push Emperor Longfeng down, he felt that the blood in his body was stagnant.

Yin Chengyu didn't look at him, and said in a calm tone, "He can die, but he can't die here."

If the emperor of a country was buried in the mouth of a tiger in the paddock, he would not only lose Yan's face, but also might cause the Tatars and Wala, who are still relatively peaceful at the moment, to give birth to thoughts they shouldn't have.

The author has something to say:

Emperor Dog: The crown prince is a good son, and Xue Shu is also a good courtier. It was I who wrongly blamed them.
