Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

The tiger cub he was holding was only one foot long, the yellow and black spaced soft fluff hadn't been replaced, and the open claws were not very sharp, but it was raised rather chubby. He was held by Zhao Lin in both hands, and he was constantly growing up. He stopped writhing and struggling, making squeaky cat-like meows.

Such a small tiger cub, without its parents, might not survive this winter if it were just thrown in the cave like this.

Yin Chengyu thought for a while and said, "Take it with you. After you return to Beijing, send it to Hucheng to raise it."

There is a tiger city in Longevity Mountain that specializes in raising tigers, so I am not afraid of having such a cub.

As soon as he heard that he could stay, Zhao Lin immediately agreed happily, took the cub in his arms, and took the tiger cub together on the road.

……

On the fourth day of staying in the paddock, Yin Chengyu and his party finally found the wolf king.

"The feces are semi-dried, and they should have been active in this area in the past two days." The hunter asked the two hounds to sniff and remember the smell, and then let go of the rope to let them identify the direction.

The hound sniffed for a while, then ran to the right.

Everyone rode their horses to follow immediately.

Only after finding a way for a mile, he accidentally bumped into another group of people coming from the side.After seeing the leader clearly, Yin Chengyu raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands and said, "Meet you again, little prince."

Mubar obviously didn't expect to run into them either, surprise flashed across his face, and then he showed a look of vigilance, and greeted extremely perfunctorily: "His Royal Highness." He still remembered the previous hatred, and his words were Some yin and yang were strange: "The paddock is so big, but His Royal Highness bumped into us twice in a row. I don't know if it was fate destined by the heavens, or whether it was calculated by heart or unintentional."

Yin Chengyu just pretended not to understand the meaning of his words, with a gentle and polite smile: "Sometimes fate comes, and it can't be stopped."

Mubar was so overwhelmed by his response, and thought that he had just discovered the clue of the wolf king and met Yin Chengyu again. How could there be such a coincidence?I'm afraid that the fate is false, but the truth is that someone is following her.

With the lessons learned from Red Deer, he looked at Yin Chengyu with more serious eyes, and said with a hypocritical smile: "Since there is a fate, this king will not compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." He raised his hand to signal the subordinates behind him to make way: "Prince Your Highness, please."

Seeing this, Yin Chengyu didn't refuse, and led the people to pass on the way he let out.

After walking a long distance, I heard the faint sound of horseshoes behind me. It was Mubar and his party going in another direction.

"Mubar must have discovered something, and he is afraid that we will snatch it from him." Yin Chengyu recalled Mubar's performance just now, turned to He Shan and Ying Hongxue, and said, "Take a few good hands and follow up secretly to find out."

If it weren't for this, they cut him off because of Mubar's temper, and he would never have given way so politely.What he did just now was more like he was in a hurry to find something, and he didn't want to conflict with them and let them find something abnormal.

"Yes." He Shan and Ying Hongxue led several people, and followed the trail of Mubar and his party.

Yin Chengyu and his party continued to follow the hounds to look for the wolf king.

In the woods in the distance, a black shadow flashed quickly and ran in the opposite direction. After a while, the black shadow stopped in front of a cave, picked up a piece of gravel, and knocked a few times on the stone wall regularly.After waiting for a while, the people in the cave came out, and it was Princess Wuzhu and Yin Chengjing.

"How's the situation?" Yin Chengjing asked.

"Everything is as the third prince expected. The little prince Wala and the prince collided at a fork in the road. The little prince was anxious to find clues to the wolf king, but the prince saw the clue. He Shan was secretly sent to lead people to follow."

Yin Chengjing smiled lightly when he heard the words: "Very good. Go ahead and keep staring."

Princess Wuzhu had some doubts about this plan before, but now that it is going so smoothly, she has somewhat changed her opinion of the third prince: "One has already been lured away, and how do you plan to lure the third prince away?"

It is true that the wolf king was active in this area, but the clues are all false.

The little eunuch who put in the wolf king was the eunuch Gao Xian, who was in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies. Yin Chengjing and Gao Xian had a secret relationship. As early as the first day of the nomination, Yin Chengjing knew the position of the wolf king.They searched all the way and finally captured the wolf king alive the day before yesterday.Just now, he used the wolf king's fur and feces to create various clues to lure Yin Chengyu into the game.

Now one of the three generals around the prince has gone, and he only needs to lure Zhao Lin away again.Then you can start.

"Don't worry, the second hook has already been buried, and it's waiting for them ahead." Yin Chengjing put his hands behind his back and silently calculated the time distance.

At this time, it should be discovered soon.

The hound ran for five or six miles before stopping, sniffing under a tree for a while, and then digging with its paws.

The hunter stepped forward and turned over the dead leaves of the weeds, and saw that the snow around the roots of the trees had melted, and there was still a little smell in the air.

"It's wolf urine." The hunter stood up excitedly and looked around: "The smell hasn't dissipated yet, so it should be fresh. It hasn't been long."

It could be said that the wolf king had been active in this area not long ago, and it was even possible that they had just left before their arrival.

"Maybe you are sure which direction you are going?" Yin Chengyu ordered people to get off the horse and searched for clues everywhere.

The hunter took two hounds to sniff around to determine the position.

After a long while, the hunter was a little uncertain: "The hunting dog is also not sure, maybe this piece has the smell of the wolf king, and the difference is not very clear."

Yin Chengyu was about to order people to expand the area to search around, but his eyes suddenly fell on the messy footprints on the ground.

These footprints...

He frowned a little bit, staring at those messy footprints for a long time, and then fixed his eyes on the tree roots that had just been dug out, and even walked a few steps quickly to check carefully in all directions.

After a while, he restrained all his emotions, looked at Xue Shu and said, "Take someone to search for the wolf king."

Xue Shu was stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances with him, and immediately understood what he meant, and led a dozen people onto their horses: "I take orders."

After Xue Shu and his party left, Yin Chengyu looked at the sky and said, "It seems to be snowing again, it's getting late, so let's find a place to camp and wait for He Shan and Xue Shu to come back."

Zhao Lin who stayed behind took people to find a suitable place to camp.

It gets dark early in winter, and by the time the camp is settled, the sky has already darkened.

The camp was located one mile away from where the wolf king was found. The soldiers outside were preparing dinner. Yin Chengyu sat in the tent, adding firewood to the brazier, waiting for Xue Shu to come over.

The cub picked up was temporarily placed in Yin Chengyu's tent by Zhao Lin.In the past two days, it has become familiar with Yin Chengyu's aura. When Zhao Lin wasn't around and no one was looking at it, it circled around Yin Chengyu's feet, and eagerly stretched out its claws to reach the sparks bursting out of the brazier.

Several times, I almost fell into the brazier, and my fur was scratched by the flames.

Yin Chengyu held it by the back of the neck and put it away from the brazier.But it thought Yin Chengyu was playing with it, and immediately swung its tail towards Yin Chengyu's hand.

The cub hasn't changed its teeth yet, so the bite doesn't hurt.Yin Chengyu pushed it away in disgust, took out the handkerchief to wipe his hands, and remembered someone who also liked to bite his fingers.

Knocking on the brazier with a dead branch in his hand, Yin Chengyu looked outside. It was completely dark at this time, and he thought that Xue Shu should be coming.

While he was chanting, he heard a rustling sound coming from one side of the tent.

Yin Chengyu glanced sideways, and saw Xue Shu crawling in through the gap in one corner of the tent, and was retying the ropes at the corner of the tent.

"No one found out, right?" Yin Chengyu asked.

"It's already dark outside, I walked around from the dark place behind, and the people watching couldn't see it." Xue Shu tied the corners of the tent again, sat down opposite him, and waited for Yin Chengyu's orders.

When Yin Chengyu ordered him to take people to look for the wolf king, he understood Yin Chengyu's hints, and he took people to look for the wolf king on the surface, but he walked halfway. Come see Yin Chengyu.

"What did your Highness find?"

"There's something wrong with wolf urine," Yin Chengyu said.

Xue Shu recalled it, and his thick eyebrows twitched: "There are no paw prints around?"

Everyone's attention was only on the fresh wolf urine they found, but they ignored the paw prints on the ground.Since the urine was left fresh, there should be paw prints of the wolf king in the snow and mud.

However, apart from some messy traces and the footprints and horseshoe prints they left behind, there were no clear wolf paw prints, which is unreasonable.

Yin Chengyu nodded: "Besides, we have never met Princess Wuzhu and Yin Chengjing once since we were shortlisted."

Although the paddock is large, it is not so vast.So many teams stayed in the paddock for four days, and when they were looking for the beasts, they had to meet each other more or less.In addition to Mubar, they have also met teams led by the children of other honorable generals.Only Princess Wuzhu and Yin Chengjing seem to have disappeared, and they have never met each other.

But they are naturally impossible to disappear in this paddock.More likely, they were deliberately avoiding him.

As for the reason for avoiding it, it is very intriguing.

"Has Yin Chengjing formed an alliance with Tatar?" Xue Shu asked.

"The possibility is not small." Yin Chengyu pinched the cub's furry tail subconsciously, thinking: "If Gu is them, they will never let go of such a good opportunity to hunt."

"But it's too easy to leave marks in the paddock."

"They don't need to do it themselves." Yin Chengyu pointed to the cubs chasing their tails in circles: "Sometimes, ferocious beasts are more dangerous than humans."

Xue Shu followed his train of thought and quickly figured it out: "Tigers are nothing to be afraid of, but there are prairie wolves in this paddock."

Prairie wolves are ferocious and live in packs.Especially in this winter, when the wolves eat less, they may be more vicious when they are hungry. If they encounter hungry wolves, it is really difficult to deal with them without defense.

"If Gu's guess is correct, most of them will do it tonight."

There are only five days of hunting, after today, there will be no such good time.

Xue Shu pressed his brows, and a trace of hostility leaked from his eyes: "I will take someone to guard tonight."

Yin Chengyu shook his head: "Go look for He Shan and Ying Hongxue. After you find someone, you don't have to show up immediately, and lie in ambush. As for the defense of the camp, I will leave it to Zhao Lin."

Hearing that he was going to leave at this time, Xue Shu's face was full of displeasure, but before he could object, Yin Chengyu asked back, "You don't believe in Gu?"

"Of course I believe it." Xue Shu looked at him, slammed every word, and said it unwillingly.

Yin Chengyu laughed, and leaned over to caress the back of his neck. The action was the same as when he was comforting the cub just now: "Then do as Gu said."

His decision cannot be changed, Xue Shu has to act according to the order.

But when he got up to leave, he caught a glimpse of the cub that was still spinning around Yin Chengyu's feet, trying to climb onto his lap, so he frowned and picked it up by the back of its neck, saying: "This cub is annoying, I'll take it Give it back to Zhao Lin."
