Chapter 251: Lion and Tiger Fight (I)
"Come on, bite it!" In a courtyard that covers a large area, Zhao Zhen and a group of attendants around him shouted frantically on the railing, and in front of them was a huge deep pit, Li Zhang had just entered the yard, and he couldn't see the situation in the pit for the time being, but the roars coming from the pit could also be guessed, I was afraid of what kind of beast or something was inside.
"What are you doing?" Li Zhang stepped forward and asked at the moment, and the guards around him also knew him, so naturally they would not stop him at this time.
"Cousin! You're back! Zhao Zhen turned around when he heard Li Zhang's words, and immediately showed a ecstatic expression when he saw him, and then immediately rushed forward and hugged him, refusing to let go no matter what.
Li Zhang was also taken aback by Zhao Zhen's enthusiasm, but then he showed a smile of understanding, Zhao Zhen grew up in the deep palace, and never experienced the value of friendship, if it has always been like this, it is nothing, but later Li Zhang's appearance made him realize the importance of friends, but Li Zhang suddenly went to the northwest, and as soon as he went, he was more uncomfortable, so he was so enthusiastic when he saw himself.
"Okay, I just came back today, and I was called into the palace by the Queen Mother before I even entered the house, and it's all because of you!" In the end, Li Zhang finally let Zhao Zhen let go of himself, and then said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
When Zhao Zhen heard Li Zhang mention Liu E, he also showed a helpless wry smile at the moment: "I knew that the eldest lady would definitely let my cousin come, but cousin, you came just in time, just enough to help me persuade the eldest lady!" ”
"You two are worry-free, one asks me to help you listen to her, and the other asks me to persuade her to follow your wishes, but in the end, it's me, the middleman, who is the most difficult to do!" Li Zhang also said helplessly at the moment, he and Zhao Zhen have no scruples, they can say whatever they want, but he is not so bold with Liu E.
Hearing Li Zhang say this, Zhao Zhen also showed a rather embarrassed expression, but at this time, Li Zhang looked at the big pit behind him, and then asked curiously: "What are you doing here, what kind of beast is the pit closed, I heard it outside the yard just now?" ”
Zhao Zhen heard Li Zhang ask about this matter, and immediately pulled Li Zhang to the edge of the pit to watch, but Li Zhang was also very shocked to find that there was a tiger and a lion in the pit confronting each other, but both sides seemed to know that the other was not easy to mess with, so they did not attack easily at this time.
"Where did the lion come from?" Li Zhang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the lion in the big pit and said, tigers are not only in the Great Song Dynasty, but also quite common, I often hear that there are tigers hurting people somewhere, but lions don't, because this thing generally lives in Africa, it is said that there are also in India, but it doesn't seem to be the same species.
"This is a big food merchant brought back from overseas, it is said that he wanted to do business in Guangzhou, so he sent a lot of rare treasures to the imperial court, including many living creatures, such as this lion, and even a rhinoceros, but unfortunately it was not transported to the capital and died." Zhao Zhen said very excitedly at this time.
"The Great Food Merchant?" Li Zhang showed a little disdain when he heard this, because as far as he knew, there were indeed many people in these cannibals who were doing business in the Guangzhou area, and the Great Song Dynasty did not discriminate against them, and even made some big cannibals officials, but later when the Southern Song Dynasty fell, a big food merchant surnamed Pu took the lead in surrendering to the Mongols, and helped the Mongols slaughter countless people in the Great Song Dynasty, so he didn't have any good feelings about these big food merchants.
"Cousin, many people say that the tiger is the king of beasts, but I think this lion is not small, and I heard that the natives overseas also call the lion the king of beasts, so I wanted to see who was more powerful between the two of them, so I put them together." Zhao Zhen said with a smile again at this time.
Although Zhao Zhen's words were relaxed, Li Zhang's heart sank when he heard this, originally he thought that someone else instigated Zhao Zhen to do this, because according to Zhao Zhen's previous character, what he said was a bad person, and what he said was a little cowardly, with his character, I am afraid that he would not think of putting tigers and lions together to fight, but now he has such a mind, which shows that Zhao Zhen's character has undergone some changes, but this change does not know whether it is good or bad?
"Roar~" Just when Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen were talking, the lion in the big pit finally lost his patience and roared at the tiger and pounced, but the tiger was very agile and dodged with a jump of limbs. Zhao Zhen may have been carefully selected, this tiger is about the same size as a lion, but the lion's neck is full of manes, so it looks bigger, which also makes the tiger very cautious.
"It's a fight!" Zhao Zhen saw that the confrontational beast finally broke the peace, and he couldn't help but scream excitedly again, and then shook Li Zhang's arm and said, "Cousin, cousin, do you say that the tiger is powerful or the lion is powerful?" ”
"Don't look at it, the tiger is ninety percent sure that it can win!" Li Zhang smiled calmly at the moment, on the question of who is more powerful between the tiger and the lion, there are many debates in later generations, and even some people take the tiger and the lion as experiments, the result is that the winning rate of the tiger far exceeds that of the lion, which can be found on the Internet in later generations, and the largest Siberian tiger can reach four meters in size and weigh nearly 800 catties, while the lion generally weighs only more than 500 catties, which is not a heavyweight at all.
In addition, it is said that later generations of Americans once made a movie about lions, the last scene should be a lion biting a tiger, but I didn't expect the tiger as a villain to bite two lions in succession, and the last lion bit the tiger to death with the help of human cold guns, and the lion was also bitten into serious injury, and finally died, it is worth mentioning that this tiger is still the head of the mother.
"Cousin, you're so confident, why don't we make a bet?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but show a suspicious look when he heard Li Zhang's words, and said to Li Zhang again with great interest, in fact, he was not sure that the lion could win, but just took the opportunity to add a lottery, which was more interesting to play.
"Okay, but if I win, you'll have to promise me one thing!" Li Zhang nodded immediately.
In fact, Li Zhang originally had a lot to say to Zhao Zhen, but seeing his high spirits, he couldn't bear to disturb him at this time, as for the tiger and the lion fighting, although it was a little cruel, but now is not the next generation, the lion will not say it, the tiger has always been a pest in the Great Song Dynasty, and people often die in the mouth of the tiger in various places, so this is far from the time to sympathize with these beasts.
