Chapter 254: If you want to hurry, you can't reach it
In fact, Gao Ming misunderstood Benben, not because of its lack of exercise, but because the endurance of felines is notoriously poor in nature.
The strongest thing about felines is their explosiveness, whether it's a tiger or a cheetah, they rely on their thick limbs and can make themselves reach an amazing level of speed in a short time!
But their hearts make them lack stamina, which is why cheetahs give up after chasing their prey for a while – because they can't run.
It couldn't run anymore, so it stopped and lay down on the ground, panting for breath as it looked up in the direction Gao Ming had left, and let out a whimper from time to time.
"Whew......"
After resting for a while, it felt a little more strength, so it stood up again, then raised its head and sniffed in the air a few times before walking in the direction where Gao Ming had left.
It took nearly half an hour to stop and go, and Benben looked at Gao Ming's figure again, and it suddenly screamed excitedly.
"Whew......"
At this time, Gao Mingzheng was resting under a big tree with Huzi and Li Su, and after hearing Benben's roar, he immediately beckoned to Benben.
"You guy, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come here."
At this time, Benben also ran in front of Gao Ming, and it hugged Gao Ming's thigh at once, and kept arching into Gao Ming's arms.
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming couldn't help but smile slightly, reached out and rubbed its furry head, and then stood up.
"Okay, okay, isn't it just that you've run for more than ten miles, you will become the king of the mountain in the future, don't be so squeamish, let go of my legs."
"Whew......"
Looking at the "pendant" of more than 100 catties on his leg, Gao Ming suddenly sighed helplessly.
"I'm afraid this guy can't run, and I can't throw it down, Sixth Brother, you go back to Jingzhao Mansion and get a carriage."
"Oh!"
Just as Li Su was about to get on the horse, the tiger next to him laughed.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, what kind of carriage do you want, look at me!"
With that, Huzi walked to Gao Ming's side, hugged Benben, and then carried it on his shoulder.
Seeing this scene, Li Su's eyes suddenly widened.
"Are you going to carry it like that?"
Looking at Li Su's surprised eyes, Gao Ming immediately laughed.
"Huzi, he even carried a horse at the beginning, what is a little tiger?"
Speaking of this, Gao Ming nodded towards Huzi.
"Huzi, it's only half the way to Puzhou, you don't have to be too reluctant, just rest when you're tired, you know?"
Huzi also knew that Gao Ming was caring about himself, so when he heard Gao Ming's words, he immediately smiled and nodded.
"Got it, then I'll go first!"
After speaking, the tiger ran forward with his shoulder, perhaps because he was too tired, he didn't struggle, let the tiger carry it and run, but when it saw that Gao Ming was too far behind, it raised its head and screamed.
"Whew......"
Hearing the cry of Benben, Gao Ming also smiled at Li Su.
"Alright, let's go too."
"Hmm!"
With that, Gao Ming and Li Su turned over and rode on their horses, and then ran in the direction of Puzhou.
In order to take care of Huzi, Gao Ming deliberately slowed down, so when the three of them arrived in Puzhou City, it was already Shen Shi.
The three of them originally thought that they would be able to arrive in Puzhou at noon, but because of Benben, they were nearly two hours late, so the three of them were already hungry.
Looking at the gate of Puzhou City not far away, Li Su suddenly let out a long sigh.
"It's finally here, I'm dying of hunger, big brother, let's go in!"
Hearing Li Su's words, Gao Ming also nodded.
"Well, let's go, I'm hungry too."
But what the three of them didn't expect was that they had just arrived at the gate when they were stopped by the guards at the city gate.
"Stand...... Hold it! ”
At this time, the four guards at the gate of the city even took out their weapons, and they looked like they were facing a great enemy.
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, but when he found that the other party's goal was to follow the runner next to him, he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh again.
"So it's because of this guy."
After thinking about this, Gao Ming immediately laughed.
"You don't have to worry, it's actually ......"
Just as Gao Ming was about to explain that this tiger does not bite people, Li Su had already taken out his waist card, and then walked in front of several city gate guards.
"This king is the Liang King of the Tang Dynasty, open your eyes and see, this is the waist card of this king!"
As he spoke, Li Su showed his waist card, and when he saw this waist card, several city gate guards quickly knelt down.
Although they were illiterate and had never seen the prince's waist card, they knew that pretending to be a royal family was a capital crime, and normal people would definitely not do that, so they had to believe it.
Looking at the several city gate guards kneeling on the ground, Li Su suddenly turned around, and then smiled at Gao Ming.
"Hehe, big brother, look, isn't this okay?"
Gao Ming: "......"
Originally, Gao Ming wanted to tell Li Su not to use his power to suppress people, but after thinking about it, he found that even if he explained it just now, these guards would not necessarily let him enter the city, and in the end, he might still have to show his identity.
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately sighed.
"Alas, you're doing the right thing this time, let's go, let's go to the city!"
"Great!"
When Gao Ming and the others entered the city, bursts of screams suddenly sounded in the city.
"Ahh Tiger! ”
"Help, the tiger is going to eat people!"
"Oh mom, run!"
“……”
Looking at the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping in front of him, Gao Ming suddenly showed a wry smile.
"I knew it was going to happen."
When they entered and exited Jingzhao Mansion yesterday, Benben was sitting in a carriage, so it didn't cause panic in the city, which also made Gao Ming ignore this problem.
But now looking at the scattered people in Puzhou City, Gao Ming realized that he was indeed inconsiderate.
"Alas, I knew I was coming in a carriage, is this what people say is that you can't reach it quickly?"
Hearing Gao Ming's self-talk, Li Su laughed.
"Haha, what's not big, the world is the biggest to eat, let's take a walk, big brother, let's eat."
As soon as Li Su's words fell, Gao Ming suddenly gave him a blank look.
This guy's heart is really big!
But soon Gao Ming reacted, Li Su is not a big heart, but he doesn't care about what disturbs the people or not, in his heart, these are not as important as filling his stomach.
Thinking of this, Gao Ming frowned again.
"Is this a class contradiction in feudal society?"
Gao Ming himself can't be as unscrupulous as Li Su, because he has his own set of standards for dealing with the world.
When dealing with his enemies, Gao Ming can certainly be ruthless, but when dealing with these people who have no hatred or grudge against him, Gao Ming can't be a bully, because he violates his standards for dealing with the world.
"No matter where you are, no matter where you are, you can't violate your conscience, if you don't have a bottom line, it's dangerous."
Gao Ming seemed to be admonishing himself, and seemed to be educating Li Su, but unfortunately, Li Su didn't listen to it at all.
"Big brother, what are you talking about? Let's go eat, I'm dying of hunger. ”
Seeing Li Su's somewhat impatient appearance, Gao Ming suddenly closed his eyes, and then took a deep breath.
"Li Su, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself."
Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and then looked at Li Su with a serious face.
"At the beginning, you didn't like to stay in a carriage with Benben, and now these people don't like to stay with Benben, if we go to a wine store or an inn, it's not appropriate."
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Su thought for a moment, and then nodded.
"Well, big brother, you're right, how can we go to places like wine stores and inns? I think in this Puzhou city, only the Thorn Mansion is qualified to let us live, so let's go to the Thorn Mansion! ”
Gao Ming: "......"
Is this guy IQ in arrears?
Looking at Li Su with an excited face, Gao Ming suddenly had a feeling of playing the piano with a cow, and he had no choice but to glare at Li Su viciously.
"No, not only can't you go to the wine store and inn, but you can't go to the Thorn Mansion."
Seeing that Gao Ming seemed to be angry, Li Su suddenly wilted like a frosted eggplant.
"We can't go here, we can't go there, we can't go to the wilderness, right?"
Hearing Li Su's muttering, Gao Ming immediately frowned.
He found that what Li Su said was indeed right, it was already summer now, and they didn't bring tents, and if they slept in the wilderness, not to mention anything else, mosquito bites would definitely be sad.
What to do?
When Gao Ming was really worried, Huzi laughed again.
"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Prince, why don't you go to my house, my house is warm!"
Hearing Huzi's words, Gao Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, isn't Huzi's home in Puzhou? Wouldn't it be better to go to his house for a day of rest first, and then buy a carriage to go to Jinju tomorrow? ”
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately slapped the board.
"Okay, it's such a happy decision, go to Huzi's house!"
After deciding, Gao Ming and his party walked in the direction of Huzi's house in the south of the city.
In order to prevent Benben from scaring others again, Gao Ming took off his robe, covered Benben's body, and then let Huzi carry it away.
The group soon came to the old house of Huzi's family, and looking at the familiar broken door, Huzi immediately laughed.
"My family has arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming in!"
Hearing Huzi's words, Gao Ming smiled and walked in, although Li Su was a little unhappy, but seeing that Gao Ming didn't say anything, he had no choice but to be silent.
As soon as a few people entered Huzi's house, they heard a sound of "squirming" from inside, and Gao Ming immediately frowned.
"What sound? Is there a thief? ”
Thinking of this, Gao Ming felt that it was unlikely, because Gao Ming still remembered that when they came to pick up Huzi and his mother, there was nothing of value in this house.
And taking a step back, they have been gone for so long, even if there is anything valuable at home, it should be taken away, what else can a thief have to steal at this time?
Just when Gao Ming was puzzled, he saw a girl in a flower dress suddenly walk out of the room, and when she saw Huzi, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Brother Huzi, didn't you go to the city to be an official? Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”
