Chapter 18: Fighting the Tiger
He quietly looked at Wen Ye in the crowd, but saw that he didn't react when he heard the words of the monarch, as if he was a slave in the first place.
Shen Qian had seen Wen Ye's posture on the battlefield, heroic and superb, and his martial arts were superb. Although he is an enemy, he has to say that he admires Wen Ye.
Seeing him like this at this moment, I can't help but feel sorry in my heart, but it is only a moment before this regret disappears, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain.
A defeat is a defeat, and Wen Ye must bear the consequences of this defeat.
One day, if it were him, he must have been martyred, and he would never linger here again and be humiliated.
Thinking like this, the king had already turned on his horse, flung his whip back, and the horse neighed and galloped away into the hunting grounds.
Wen Ye stood aside, waiting for the hunter to return.
After about a cup of tea, the king returned, carrying a gray fox and a hare in his hands.
After getting off the horse, the monarch threw the dead fox and rabbit on the ground, and said very boringly: "Boring, boring! ”
Gonggong Li glanced at Wen Ye, who was standing aside, and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, the white tiger you raised in captivity is time to eat!" ”
The monarch's eyes lit up, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, he looked at Wen Ye and said, "Wen Ye, I heard that you are brave and incomparable, today I will give you a chance to perform, and let me and all Aiqing see the demeanor of the god of war!" ”
Wen Ye already knew in his heart that the humiliation of the monarch of Qi State against him today would never be as simple as leading a horse!
The four princes watched from the sidelines, and this time they also followed the monarch to the hunting ground, but they didn't expect that this time, there would be such a good show.
He glanced at Wen Ye inattention, but saw that his eyes were firm, and he didn't even have a trace of fear, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart. If only there could be a counselor like him.......
The monarch threw a dagger to Wen Ye, and his voice was full of jokes: "As long as you win the battle and win the tiger, I will allow you to be free." ”
Wen Ye took the dagger, there was nothing, and he walked calmly towards the jungle with tigers.
Behind him, there was the laughter of the monarch of Qi and others, which sounded so harsh.
Wen Ye held the dagger in his hand and came to the mountains and forests alone amid the laughter behind him.
This mountain forest is lush with vegetation, and after walking for a long time, I only saw some pheasants and hares, and I did not find any trace of tigers.
Wen Ye walked deeper and deeper, and the mountains and forests became quieter and quieter, and in the end, it was so quiet that Wen Ye could even hear his footsteps clearly.
In a place full of small yellow flowers, Wen Ye suddenly stopped in place. The breeze blew quietly, blowing the broken hair on his forehead. Faintly, Wen Ye seemed to hear two kitten-like meows, but those cries were more sharp than those of cats.
Naturally, there are no cats in this mountain forest, which is the cry of a tiger.
Wen Ye clenched the dagger and looked around cautiously, quietly waiting for the next sound to sound.
Sure enough, not long after, Wen Ye's ears heard the same cry as just now again, Wen Ye was relieved, tried to discern the direction of the sound, and walked quickly along the voice.
This mountain forest is very conducive to hiding, and it is a good place to defend ambushes if you are fighting. It's just a pity that although he was ordered to kill the tiger, he only had a dagger on his side, otherwise it would have been much easier. What's more, at this moment, he is also a prey of the Qi Kingdom. Even if he had the ability to escape from here, he would definitely be captured by the monarch of Qi again.
After walking for about a cup of tea, a cave appeared in front of Wen Ye's eyes, and as he got closer, two more cries came from inside, and it was already very clear that there was no blur in his ears.
Wen Ye held the dagger and walked into the cave cautiously, without going to his heart, not far from the entrance of the cave, with the sunlight outside, Wen Ye saw clearly what was in front of him, it was a litter of tiger cubs. Playing in the nest, he saw someone come in, blocking a piece of sunlight, and two of them looked at the human with wide eyes, but they were not afraid at all. They may not know what a human is at the moment, but they are more like a litter of newborn kittens. In this cave, waiting for his parents to return from foraging.
This is their home.
Wen Ye's dark eyes darkened for a moment, then turned around and left the cave with an expressionless and indifferent face.
He is not a soft-hearted person, but he knows in his heart that even killing these cubs at this moment is useless. These cubs can't make friends, and he still wants to enter the mountains and forests again.
Not far from the cave, Wen Ye suddenly felt shocked, and immediately, a tiger roar resounded through the sky. When the grass and trees shook, a tiger-eyed tiger appeared in the field of vision, with thick blood on the side of its mouth, which showed that it had just finished eating.
Wen Ye was born in martial arts, and he has been on the battlefield for a long time, no matter how powerful the enemy is, he has seen it, and his murderous aura is not hidden at this moment, and all of them are released. The tiger also seemed to feel that the man in front of him was different from the food he had eaten before, and only watched Wen Ye in place, and did not act rashly. The sun was scorching, and a man and a tiger faced each other in the forest, but no one launched an offensive first.
