"Hmm!" With a low snort coming out of his mouth, Zhang Qian's legs trembled, and he almost turned around and fled.

It's just that his reaction was a little slower by half a beat, and the giraffe's eating movement was fast enough, and there was a small time difference between the two sides. And after the deer's head was raised, the pressure and fear on his head were instantly reduced by half, so that he finally stabilized his body and did not make a fool of himself on the spot.

Don't dare to bet on whether the giraffe will go crazy again after eating enough. He gritted his teeth and quietly took two steps back, turned his head, and quickly ordered the people around him, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't startle it." This guy eats grass and won't hurt people easily. Get out of the way, and I'll lead it out. Whoever has fruit around, hurry up and help get some! ”

After all, regardless of whether there was anyone around listening to his arrangement, he quickly turned his gaze to the giraffe again, and while discussing softly with the other party in a childlike tone, he slowly retreated, "Come, eat a little more, follow me, go outside to eat." Don't be afraid, they don't mean anything malicious. ”

The giraffe was very good at chewing, and after three strokes and two blows, he swallowed the fruit and preserves, including the core of the belt. Immediately, he slowly followed two steps, lowered his head again, and gently rolled his pink tongue again, and rolled the other half of the fruit in the tray clean.

Zhang Qian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, twisting his head to look around for plants that could replace fruits, so that the giraffe would not be furious when the giraffe lowered its head next time because the "tribute" was not supplied in time. At this critical juncture, Zhou Jianliang had already rushed from the side, holding a plate of fruits and candied fruit above his head with both hands: "Come, eat here, it's empty over there, and there are still here!" ”

Although he tried his best to express kindness, the scar on his face and the murderous aura on his body were too obvious. The giraffe, who was munching on its food, was startled, instinctively took two steps back, and struck the ground defensively with its front hooves, "Bang, bang, bang......"

"Be careful, it's going to kick people again!"

"Close the door, close the door, don't let him enter the Imperial Garden again! The princess is in the royal garden! ”

"Zichen Palace, block the Zichen Palace, the Holy Lord is in the Zichen Palace!"

"Escort, escort ......"

All around, shouts came and went.

The eunuchs and guards who had just recovered a little bit of relief complained to each other and reminded each other while using their bodies as a city wall to block the road leading to the Zichen Hall and the Imperial Garden.

No one has the time to think about the life or death of a seven-grade general and an eight-grade small master.

"Dude, give me the plate! I'll feed him, and you go ahead and get the fruit and preserves! Zhang Qian, the little master of the eighth grade, didn't have time to see the reaction of the eunuchs and guards, snatched the plate from Zhou Jianliang's hand, and at the same time knocked the other party out of the distance with his shoulder, "This giraffe should have been raised by people, as long as it is not frightened, it will not attack people." ”

"I think I'm ugly, I don't want to serve anymore!" The speaker had no intention, but Zhou Jianliang felt that his self-esteem had been greatly hurt, and scolded the giraffe in a low voice, turned around and left.

However, he was angry and angry, but he was unwilling to live up to Zhang Qian's life-saving grace. After walking out of more than a dozen steps, he ran around the bend to Zhang Jiuling and the others, took the other two plates of fruits, and quickly passed them to Zhang Qian.

"Come, come, come with me, let's go to a spacious place to eat." This place is too narrow and there are too many people! Zhang Qian served Uncle Giraffe continuously, and after eating fruits and candied fruits twice, his confidence increased greatly. Continue to carefully coax the other party while slowly retreating.

The giraffe ate two bites of fruit and preserves in a row, and should have thought it tasted good. After hesitating and following a few steps, he lowered his head again to eat, and after three bites, he emptied the second plate.

Fortunately, Zhou Jianliang came back in time and filled the plate above Zhang Qian's head again, so that the supply of Uncle Narui Beast was not cut off. And Zhang Qian, with the support of Zhou Jianliang, is also more handy. Whenever the giraffe removed its tongue from the plate, it retreated, and in a short time, it had already retreated to the heliophilia.

Seeing that two more steps would be able to completely lure the Rui Beast out of the range of Zichen Palace, the eunuchs, guards, and officials on the steps in the four directions suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. However, the Rui Beast suddenly stopped, and no matter how much Zhang Qian coaxed, he refused to continue to follow up.

"Why don't you leave?" Everyone was alarmed, and they hurriedly used their bodies to form a human wall again, blocking the main entrance of the Zichen Palace. In the next moment, a voice clearly delivered the answer to their ears.

"Damn, such a low door, how did the giraffe get in in the first place? Who knows where there is a higher door, hurry up and help point it, the heliozo gate is too short, and you will definitely not be able to get out! ”

The speaker is none other than Zhang Qian. The first time he entered the palace to participate in the "chasing court", he only remembered the way he came. The Rihua Gate is a "shortcut" specially for courtiers to walk on foot, and the height of the door is only about two meters seven or eight, far lower than the head of a giraffe.

Now, the officials, eunuchs, and guards are all blind.

At the beginning, Rui Beast entered the palace from the Xuanwu Gate, and directly entered the Imperial Garden. It was a specially planned road in advance, and there was also a Kunlun slave who was dedicated to serving the beasts, who were responsible for guiding the beasts to lower their heads when they entered the door. And now, Kunlun Nu, who was serving the Rui Beast, was trampled to death by the Rui Beast. The only one who dared to feed the Rui Beast, this bold and not afraid of death, actually led the Rui Beast to the Rihua Gate in the south of the Zichen Palace.

wanted to greet the little master of the eight products and turned back, but no one had the courage. After all, if you go north, you will re-narrow the distance between you and Zichen Palace. In case the Narui Beast suddenly went crazy again when it passed by the Zichen Palace. When you can't use your weapons to hurt it, who can guarantee that it won't rush into the temple and frighten the saints?

"Master Bookkeeper, go to the right, along the base of the wall, the fourth doorway on the right. You try to go as slow as you can, and I'll take someone out of the way! Just when everyone was anxious, not far away, a young voice suddenly came. It's not high, but it sees the sun.

"Good!" Zhang Qian quickly turned his head to look, and saw that the other party was wearing a light crimson regular clothes, and knew that this person was a fifth grade. Resolutely agreed, held the fruit tray, and slowly adjusted the direction.

Zhou Jianliang didn't know when he took off the official robe on his body to make a pocket, filled a bag full of fruits and candied fruits, and quietly followed. Along the way, he kept helping him "renew". Although the two silly daring children are cooperating with each other for the first time, they are also very tacit. Step by step, at a slow but steady speed, the Beast was introduced into the aisle on the right.

The five-grade official who gave Zhang Qian the way, although he seemed to be about the same age as him, was extremely decisive. Seeing that the Rui Beast had been led into the alley by him and Zhou Jianliang, he immediately led a large group of his subordinates to the door he had designated before. The sawsaw that moves the saw, the straw rope that pulls the straw rope, divides the two by two, and the gatehouse is demolished cleanly.

In this way, when Zhang Qian arrived with the "Rui Beast", it would be unimpeded. The five-rank official arched his hand at him, pointed out the next direction, and left a cronie to lead the way for him. Immediately, he pulled his legs and ran away again.

When Zhang Qian arrived at the direction he indicated, he was faced with another empty gate that had been demolished from the gatehouse, and of course it was unimpeded again.

So, the five-grade official took his subordinates to dismantle in front, Zhang Qian and Zhou Jianliang, and slowly followed behind with Rui Beast, and the cooperation between the two sides became more and more tacit. In a short time, he had already bypassed the Xuanzheng Hall and the Hanyuan Palace, and led the Rui Beast to the open space between the left and right Jinwu Staff Courtyards.

"Stay away from it, don't scare it. It eats grass and leaves and does not eat meat. Look where there are any green leaves, or fresh vegetables, get some for it, and hang it under the eaves in a basket. "Rao is Zhang Qian's physical strength is good, and he has been holding a plate for a long time to serve Uncle Giraffe to eat, and his arms are a little unbearable. Seeing that there was already another dismount bridge not far away, he quickly turned his head and whispered to the light scarlet robe and his men.

"Green leaves?" The guards looked at each other, and no one knew what to do.

It's already early winter, although Chang'an City is warm, and the trees have long been gone, where can you find them?

However, this question can't help but be difficult for the young official in the shallow scarlet robe. I saw that this person frowned slightly, and immediately began to assign tasks to his subordinates, "Gao Yuanfu, you take a few people to Tangquan and ask for some leaves and vegetables to come back!" Deputy Lieutenant Chen, you take someone to say hello to the Zhijin Wu and ask them to vacate a house for us to hang bamboo baskets on the eaves. Captain Ge, you find two bold and good-looking brothers, take off their armor, put down their weapons, step forward to take over the chief bookkeeper, and let him rest a little! Don't be afraid, the master book said, Rui beasts eat grass, not people! ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, the cronies agreed in a low voice, and quickly split up to take action. And the shallow scarlet robe took a few steps forward quickly, and saluted Zhang Qian, "I am still serving Li Qi, thank you for your help." If there is no master book today, I will still be in the middle of the game, and I will not be redeemed! ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Li Fengyu doesn't have to be polite!" Although Zhang Qian had a limited understanding of the official system of the Tang Dynasty, he knew that the Shang Yuan Bureau was a place dedicated to the royal care of horses and vehicles. Seeing that Li Qi spoke politely, he handed over the tray to the two soldiers who were ordered to take over him, and returned the salute to the other party with a smile. "Actually, I should still thank Li Fengyu below. Zhang Qian, in the Gunpowder Department of the Lower Ordnance Supervision, thanked Li Fengyu for his previous guidance. ”

"Master Zhang is really polite, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know at all, how to take this Rui beast!" Although Li Fengyu's position is high, he is a "driver squad leader" who specializes in serving nobles, so he has no shelf. smiled and exchanged a few polite words with him, turned his gaze to Zhou Jianliang again, and took the initiative to salute the other party.

Zhou Jianliang was chased and kicked by the beast for a long time, and then he didn't even bother to breathe, and then he carried a bag of fruits and candied fruits on his back to give Zhang Qian a hand, and he was exhausted at the moment. Seeing Li Fengyu saluting him, he hurriedly put his pocket on the ground, turned his body sideways, and returned it while gasping.

When Li Qi saw it, he hurriedly arranged for someone to replace him to carry fruits and candied fruits for Uncle Rui Beast. Then he arranged for Zhang Qian to go with him to the room he had just borrowed from Zhi Jinwu to rest for a while. Who would have thought that the Rui Beast actually recognized Sheng, bypassed the two handsome soldiers specially sent by Li Qi to serve him, and followed closely behind Zhang Qian.

"Sure enough, it was raised by someone, otherwise, it would not have been transported to Chang'an from thousands of miles away." Zhang Qian saw that the giraffe looked pitiful, so he had to stop again and take the seven plates containing fruits and candied fruits from the soldiers. He was about to teach the giraffe and the two "new breeders" to adapt to each other, but behind him, an old voice came from behind: "How does Master Zhang know that it is from thousands of miles away?" What is this beast, can you tell the old man a thing or two? ”
