Chapter Seventy-Eight: Stopping the Horse
One of them taught hard, and the other learned happily, unaware that a eunuch named Qu Shi behind him was looking at everything in front of him with a smile, nodding from time to time.
He was the personal chamberlain of the crown prince Liu Chan, and he was also Liu Bei's close confidant in the palace, and often reported the prince's work and behavior to the lord. He has been with Liu Chan for many years, so he naturally knows the temperament of his own crown prince.
Liu Bei originally wanted to exercise Liu Chan's physique and mind through martial arts, and successively arranged two basic homework such as horseback riding and swordsmanship. Liu Chan is a person who doesn't like to move, often fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, just deal with it a few times. Liu Bei was sometimes busy, so he put this matter on the back burner.
He is Liu Bei's sister-in-law, and Liu Bei's wives are very doting on him, and it is also by his temperament. In the past few years, the war has been tight, and Liu Bei often can't be by his side to supervise and study, which has helped him develop such a temperament. If this kind of character is good, it is called benevolent cultivation, and if it is unpleasant, it is cowardly and lazy.
However, the scene of His Royal Highness practicing archery today is impressive.
"Well, this Jiang Zuocheng can find out His Highness's temperament, and you can tell the King of Hanzhong about this matter." Qu Shi touched his smooth chin and made a judgment in his heart.
Jiang Wei and Liu Chan practiced for a while, and suddenly a roar of a beast sounded in the distance, startling a group of birds. Although the sound of the whistle is far away, it is extremely penetrating, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as shaking through the mountains and forests.
Mi Wei said that when he heard the roar of a tiger yesterday, could it really be a tiger? If this is the case, it is necessary to escort His Highness back early. Jiang Wei frowned and pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered the entourage to turn around.
After walking for a while, a horse suddenly galloped in their direction. The horse galloped all the way, neighing, and was obviously frightened.
Jiang Wei fixed his eyes and saw that the person on the horse was Li Yi. I saw that his face was pale, and he shouted wildly: "The horse is frightened! Get out of the way, Your Highness! Get out of the way, Your Highness! “
The soldiers on both sides were frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to try to drive the horses. The war horse was usually used to seeing people, so he was not moved at all, but slowed down slightly, and still came straight in the direction of Jiang Wei and Liu Chan.
Liu Chan has never encountered such a situation since he was a child, and he was so frightened that he was stunned.
When there was no room for help, Jiang Wei pushed Liu Chan away softly, suddenly took another step forward, saw the coming situation, and grabbed the bridle of the startled horse.
Under the galloping horse, there can be a thousand catties of strength.
Jiang Wei couldn't stop it for a while, but was taken out a few feet away. He clenched his steel teeth, supported the ground with his feet, and pulled it with his might. His muscles swelled, threatening to tear through his robes.
The horse galloped a few more feet away, and finally slowed down under the pain, and after a while, he foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground softly.
Li Yi stumbled off his horse. His trembling strands trembled, panting, and he panicked, "If ...... If it weren't for Brother Jiang's help, I would only be afraid of a big disaster......"
Seeing his dejected appearance, Jiang Wei hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
A trace of fear flashed in Li Yi's eyes, and he said in a rough voice: "Fang ...... Just now I followed an elk and chased it into the woods, not wanting to jump out of a big tiger ......"
He spun around from side to side, stretched out his hand and pointed at the collapsed horse, and continued: "That tiger is so big that it only jumped and pounced and swept away, and it injured three or five lives in an instant. I was about to save my companion, but the tiger roared again, and the horses were so startled that they couldn't control it, and they all scattered and galloped......"
Jiang Wei interrupted: "Where is that forest?" ”
Li Yi turned around and pointed behind him and said, "That's it." ”
Jiang Wei looked in the direction he was pointing, and the secret path was not good, the forest was dense and high, and it was only two miles away from him. In this way, his own group is also in danger. I heard the tiger's roar far away, thinking that it was because of the grass and trees in the forest.
Just as he was thinking, Liu Chan's cry suddenly came: "Help... Help me! Help me! ”
Jiang Wei looked over and saw a fierce tiger in the distance suddenly burst out of the grass and rushed towards Liu Chan. The tiger is cunning and knows which breath is weak and which is strong and difficult to control. and Liu Chan was frightened, and stood with his back to the tiger. Cats and tigers are of the same species, and the more the prey is facing away, the more it can stimulate their hunting heart. Liu Chan is like this, which further fuels the tiger's ferocity.
The soldiers on the left and right want to come forward to rescue, but in front of the tiger, where can they raise the courage? Either stand still and dare not move, or abandon the armor and run back, and in an instant they will be in a panic.
This scene shocked Jiang Wei's hair upside down, and his soul flew out of the sky! Without thinking too much, he pulled his legs and ran towards Liu Chan, whistling and calling Xiaobai as he ran.
The speed of a human being is not the same as that of a tiger. But fortunately, Jiang Wei was only twenty steps away from Liu Chan, and the tiger was still one hundred and fifty steps away. Rao was like this, and when he ran to Liu Chan's side, the tiger was already about fifty steps closer.
Jiang Wei exerted his strength, picked up Liu Chan, threw him on the back of Xiaobai who had just arrived, and then slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and shouted: "Hurry up, run!" ”
Liu Chan came back to his senses at this moment, he bent down and clung to Xiaobai's mane, for fear of falling.
Xiaobai is psychic, and he runs with his hooves raised. It ran wildly, no slower than the tiger, and in the blink of an eye it was gone.
Jiang Wei saw that Liu Chan was out of danger, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he saw that the tiger had turned around, abandoned Liu Chan, and rushed straight to himself.
He was taken aback.
"Who said tigers have straight eyes?!"
The spear, sword, bow and arrow were all in the horse bag, but Jiang Wei was now bare-handed. He has never drunk Jingyanggang, and if he fights the tiger with his bare hands, it will definitely be a suicide. Jiang Wei looked around and saw that thirty steps in front of him on the right, there was a dead tree, standing alone on the grassland.
In desperation, he took a sharp step and sprinted in the direction of the dead tree. The explosiveness and speed of tigers are far better than that of humans, Jiang Weirao is a daily exercise, and the speed is extremely fast, but compared to tigers, it is absolutely impossible.
Seeing that there were still three or five steps away from the dead tree, a thunderous roar was already sounding behind him. The tiger's scorching breath almost touched his neck. Jiang Wei was shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't know where to give birth to a force, his right leg suddenly bent his knee and jumped, and his whole body flew sideways to the body of the tree. As soon as he touched the trunk of the tree, Jiang Wei took three steps and made two paws, and climbed up on the ground.
Before he had reached the height of a man, he heard another roar behind him, thinking that the tiger was about to pounce.
Between the lightning and flint, Jiang Wei took a deep breath, stretched his arms, hugged the trunk of the tree, supported the weight of his whole body, exerted his abdomen, and lifted his legs up violently.
I only heard a "bang" from under me, like a sound of gold and stone intersecting. After all, the tiger did not pounce, but because of the pounce too hard, its head hit the trunk of the tree and fell to the ground.
Jiang Wei took this opportunity to climb to the top of the tree before stopping.
