Chapter 267: Cute Tiger and Cute Girl
"Brother Yao, it's getting late, we have something at home, so we won't accompany us, please take care of Brother Yao!" Just as Yao Chong was struggling, the two companions beside him spoke. They had followed Yao Chong to finish, Yao Di was almost eaten by a tiger just now, and the impact on them was too great, and now Yao Chong still has to follow Li Hong to catch tiger cubs, and the two of them will not dare to accompany them anymore, so they will find an excuse to slip away.
"If you two have something at home, go back first, but can you take your sister when you go back..."Yao Chong didn't understand the thoughts of the two companions, but it was okay to bring his sister home, and he would be able to go with Li Hong to catch the tiger cub with more confidence. However, before Yao Chong's words were finished, Yao Di on the side stopped doing it, "Brother, I don't want to go back with them, I want to go with you to catch tiger cubs." β
"Sister, don't mess around, do you know what you're talking about? Tiger cubs are so easy to catch? Yao Chong roared and reprimanded, the situation when his sister was besieged by the tiger just now was very dangerous, which made him a little helpless, if it wasn't for Li Hong's appearance, he didn't know what to do, and now that his sister was out of danger, he didn't want her to fall into the tiger's den again.
"No, I'm going!" Yao Di said coquettishly, seeing that his eldest brother ignored him a little, and then said, "What's the danger, isn't there still this Langjun?" β
Yao Di said this to force Li Hong to express his position.
If it were put on an ordinary person, it would probably not dare to agree to Yao Di, but Li Hong was not an ordinary person, he said with a smile, "Brother Yao, since the sister is going, let her go with us!" β
As soon as Li Hong said this, Yao Chong was surprised and no longer objected, he believed in Li Hong's strength, as long as Li Hong promised to protect his sister, he believed that there was no problem with his sister's safety.
The two companions beside Yao Chong were obviously relieved when they heard that they didn't need to take Yao Di home, so they didn't dare to linger any longer, but left in a hurry.
"What a bunch of cowards." Seeing the two leaving, Yao Di muttered on the side.
Yao Chong glared at Yao Di hatefully, but he didn't reprimand her, Li Hong just smiled slightly, he felt that Yao Di was simple and amiable... It's lovely!
"Let's go!" Li Hong said to Yao Chong's brothers and sisters, he signaled to Chen Gong not far away, Chen Gong immediately understood, so he led two war horses over for Yao Chong and Yao Di to ride. Yao Chong and Yao Di are both disciples of a large family, and they have also trained in horseback riding, so they are no strangers to horseback riding. It's just that to the surprise of the two, the mount that Li Hong gave them was obviously a war horse in the army, and this kind of war horse was not something that the children of the family could get.
Thinking like this, Yao Chong and Yao Di couldn't help but start to guess that Li Hong's identity was coming...
"What are you doing in a daze? Don't hurry up and chase after it, if it's too late, I'm afraid it will run away. Li Hong said, turning over on the horse's back.
Yao Chong and Yao Di came back to their senses and immediately turned over on their war horses.
"Just follow behind, don't get too close." Li Hong ordered Chen Gong.
"No!" Chen Gong received the order and strode away.
Yao Chong and Yao Di wanted to ask Li Hong's identity, because they felt a chilling murderous aura from Chen Gong, which was not possessed by everyone in the future, unless it was a veteran of a hundred battles. Obviously, Chen Gong is a soldier, and Li Hong can give orders like this, and it is so natural, which has to make Yao Chong and Yao Di curious.
However, Li Hong didn't give them a chance, and when Yao Di was about to ask, Li Hong had already rushed out on horseback.
Yao Chong and Yao Di had no choice but to keep up with Li Hong tightly.
Li Hong's arrows are specially made, and they belong to the kind that can't kill you when you are shot with an arrow, but can also make you bleed to death.
Therefore, the tiger fled after being hit by an arrow, and shed blood all over the ground, and Li Hong, Yao Chong, and Yao Di found his cave without much effort.
The cave is under a rock not far away, and it is very hidden, if there are no traces of blood to be found, Li Hong, Yao Chong, and Yao Di may not be able to find it for a day. When he arrived near the cave, Li Hong pulled out the saber at his waist, gave the knife to Yao Di, and asked her to hold it for self-defense, while he jumped off the horse, bent his bow and arrows, and approached the cave with Yao Chong step by step.
The tiger is the king of the mountain, and there is a mountain that cannot tolerate two tigers.
Therefore, Li Hong is not worried that there will be two tigers in the cave. As for the injured one, according to Li Hong's judgment, it has already been weakened after shedding so much blood, and its combat effectiveness must have weakened a lot, with him and Yao Chong, the two of them can solve him together.
Step by step...
Li Hong and Yao Chong slowly approached the copper beard, Li Hong's mental quality was very good, and he was not nervous at all in the face of such a dangerous thing. Looking at Yao Chong again, his face was calm, and he didn't look nervous like Li Hong.
Yao Chong's calm performance made Li Hong very satisfied.
In fact, this time to catch the tiger cub, Li Hong can catch it alone, or order Chen Gong to catch it, he doesn't need to make so much effort.
The reason for this is that he wants to see Yao Chong's performance by catching tiger cubs, to see if Yao Chong is as said in history, although he knows that with Yao Chong's current age, he may not be able to reach what is written in the history books, but as long as he has the potential in this area, he is worth Li Hong's time and energy to cultivate.
Isn't it a wonderful thing to be able to tap the potential of the name hidden in Yao Chong's body step by step?
"Roarβ"
Suddenly, just as Li Hong and Yao Chong were approaching the cave, the roar of a tiger came from inside, and it had already found Yao Chong and Li Hong.
"What should I do?" Yao Chong asked, the tiger is inside, can't the two of them climb into the hole? It's too dangerous.
"Gotta find a way to lure him out or force him out." Li Hong pondered, turned his eyes to Yao Chong, and asked Yao Chong to think of a way, as a future celebrity, if Yao Chong didn't have such a little talent, Li Hong was not ready to accept him to work for him, he could cultivate people with potential, but people who couldn't even see a little potential, Li Hong really didn't have time to cultivate him.
When Yao Chong saw that Li Hong paid attention to him again, he understood what Li Hong meant, and he wanted him to find a way.
Yao Chong nodded slightly, and fell into deep thought.
It is indeed difficult to force the tiger out of the cave.
"Brother, isn't the tiger injured? Why can't we just wait for it to bleed? Suddenly, Yao Di, who was not far away, spoke.
Nima!
Li Hong was stunned by this sentence.
Is that okay?
Still, it's a good idea. The tiger was hit by his own arrow, bleeding too much, and now he is very weak, otherwise he would not stay in the hole and dare not come out, in this case, wait for it for half an hour, even if it does not come out, it will die in the cave, and then he will not take out the tiger cub without much effort?
I'm so stupid!
Li Hong smiled faintly and threw an affirmative look at Yao Di.
"No thanks, I'm here to catch tiger cubs, okay?" Yao Di smiled happily.
Li Hong said to Yao Chong, "Brother Yao, just do what my sister said, let's just wait for it outside." β
"Okay." Yao Chong also agreed.
The two walked to a rock next to them and sat down, Yao Chong finally had a chance to ask Li Hong's name, "I don't know what Brother Tai is called?" β
"Under Li Hong, a native of Chang'an." Li Hong introduced.
"Li Hong?" Yao Chong muttered, as if he was recalling something, because he felt as if he had heard this name somewhere, and more than once, but now he just couldn't remember it.
"Li Hong? Brother, isn't the name of the prince Li Hong today? Yao Di said leisurely. But after saying this, she herself was stunned. Yao Chong on the side was also stunned after hearing his sister's words.
At the same time, the brother and sister all turned their eyes to Li Hong, and asked in surprise, "You, won't it be..."
Thinking about this name, and then thinking about the war horse and the generals who followed Li Hong just now, Yao Chong and Yao Di woke up a little......
"Yes, that's right, I'm Li Hong, the prince of the Tang Dynasty." Li Hong said with a smile.
Scare!
It's scary!
It's scary!
Yao Chong and Yao Di's eyes widened, they couldn't believe how their ideas could be so resigned, they could meet His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty when they came out to hunt, and they followed the prince all the way to catch tiger cubs, and called the prince brothers...
"What, you are..."Li Hong was very funny, and now the two siblings Yao Chong and Yao Di were completely dumbfounded.
"Yao Yuanchong see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince-" Yao Chong immediately got up and saluted Li Hongshi. I didn't know Li Hong's identity just now, he could be very arrogant, but now that he knows Li Hong's identity, if he is so ignorant of current affairs, it will be his fault.
As soon as Li Hong was about to help Yao Chong, he saw Yao Di not far away also turn over and get off the horse, wanting to give Li Hong a salute.
"Yao Di see His Royal Highness the Prince-" Yao Di just got off the horse and was about to give a salute.
Suddenly, at this moment, with a "roar", I saw a flower shadow flashing, and the tiger hiding in the cave just now rushed out of the cave and pounced on Yao Di. Yao Di had already dismounted, and at this time the tiger pounced on her, which caught her a little off guard, and with an exclamation of "ah", Yao Di was moved by a branch when she retreated.
"Sister, be careful!" Yao Chong was a little far away from Yao Di, so he could only shout eagerly.
"Brute, don't hurt people!" Li Hong shouted, and saw a white light flashing with a "whoosh".
"Ahh
Yao Di was smashed for a while.
"Sister, are you alright?" At this time, Yao Chong had already run up and pushed away the tiger's body, and asked nervously.
"No, nothing." Yao Di replied after a long time.
Seeing the dead tiger next to him, as well as a feathered arrow on the tiger's head, Yao Di asked timidly, "Yes, did His Highness save me?" β
"Yes, it was His Highness who saved you." Yao Chong said happily, Yao Di is fine.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yao Di got up and saluted Li Hongshi, who was walking towards her.
Li Hong walked up to Yao Di and looked at her carefully to make sure she was not injured, and then said, "You're welcome, I was careless just now, I want to say sorry to you." β
"Your Highness is gracious!" Yao Di said in a low voice, not daring to face Li Hong anymore, because at this moment, her heart was pounding, she was very nervous, especially when Li Hong was looking at her, she was very nervous, she knew that it was not because Li Hong was the prince that made her nervous, but... But... Yao Di himself can't say this feeling clearly.
"It's okay if you're okay, you rest first, and we'll come back after catching the tiger cubs." Li Hong said to Yao Di.
Yao Di nodded slightly.
Li Hong went with Yao Chong to catch tiger cubs.
This time, Yao Chong took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that he climbed into the cave to catch it, Li Hong did not stop him, since he said his identity, if Li Hong went to the Tiger Cave again, it would make Yao Chong's brothers and sisters feel uneasy, and the tiger was dead, and there were only tiger cubs left in the cave, Li Hong believed that Yao Chong would not be in danger if he climbed in.
Sure enough, Yao Chong did not encounter an adult tiger after climbing into the tiger cave.
However, he only found a tiger cub.
When Yao Chong grabbed this tiger cub and crawled out, Li Hong was also surprised, how could a tiger only have one tiger cub left? Could it be... Before he came, this tiger had already hidden his own child, and this last one was only blocked in the hole by the three of them because it didn't have time to hide?
Li Hong glanced at the tiger cub in Yao Chong's arms and confirmed his guess.
As the so-called greed is not rotten, since the tiger has hidden his tiger cubs, Li Hong is not ready to look for it again, one is enough, isn't everything flawed?
Li Hong hugged the tiger cub, and the tiger cub slept peacefully in his arms, and he was not disturbed at all because of the loss of his mother.
In fact, it is so quiet at this time because it has just eaten full milk.
Li Hong walked up to Yao Di and handed the tiger cub to Yao Di, who held it in his arms with an excited face.
The three of them rested here for a while, Chen Gong and the others appeared, Li Hong revealed his identity, and they didn't have to hide anymore.
"Chen Gong, after peeling this tiger skin, I want to go back to Luoyang to dedicate it to my father." Li Hong said to Chen Gong.
"No!" Chen Gong received the order and ordered the two guards to carry the tiger back to the camp, where he did not want to skin it. Because in addition to the fur of the tiger, there are many precious things on its body, and it cannot be spoiled like this.
"Your Highness, are you going to Luoyang?" Yao Di asked.
"Yes! I want to escort Lu Dongzan to Luoyang to meet my father, what's wrong? Li Hong asked.
"Really? Could it be that the rumors are true that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince defeated the attack of the Tubo people and captured Lu Dongzan alive? Yao Di asked in disbelief. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him is emaciated, and he is not as old as his brother, and at such a young age, he defeated 200,000 elite horsemen in Tubo, and captured Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan alive, Yao Di really couldn't believe it.
"Sister, how did you talk to the prince?" Yao Chong shouted. Since discovering Li Hong's identity, Yao Chong has been a little restrained, but Yao Di was relieved after only a short period of discomfort.
"What!" Yao Di said unhappily, "Brother, don't you want to go to Luoyang?" Why don't you go with Your Highness's convoy? β
"Sister-" Yao Chong yelled, he was about to be frightened by his sister, daring to take the prince's ride, his sister's courage was too great, right?
"It doesn't matter." Li Hong smiled, "Yao Di is very cute, and Gu likes her very much." β
Yao Di's cheeks were slightly red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Hong anymore.
"Uh-" Yao Chong was a little stunned, what kind of rhythm is this? Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to his sister? His sister is so rude and willful, will the prince take a fancy to her?
Li Hong smiled faintly, he knew that Yao Chong and Yao Di had misunderstood him, but he didn't explain, he was the crown prince and the superior, and not everything needed to be explained to his subordinates.
"Let's go, Lone's camp is nearby, you and Lone Tiger Cub are also hungry, Lone invites you to eat." Li Hong said, got up and strode forward. Yao Chong and Yao Di didn't dare to refuse, so they carefully followed behind the two.
"Chen Gong, you send someone to hunt a few wild animals and come back for wine." Li Hong suddenly stopped, turned back to Chen Gong and said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Chen Gong received the order.
Back at the camp, the tent has been set up, Li Hong as the prince, his tent is very luxurious, divided into three rooms, inside and outside, dining and discussing military affairs, the middle is used for bathing, changing clothes and resting, and the inner room is used to read books and sleep.
Although it was only for one night, there was no need for such luxury.
But Li Hong is the crown prince, how can it be too simple.
Yao Chong and Yao Di followed Li Hong to the camp, and saw that Xue Rengui was already waiting for Li Hong at the door. The 10,000 iron horsemen and Xue Rengui around him alone are not something that ordinary people can mobilize.
Based on this, Yao Chong judged that what was said in the market was right, His Majesty the Emperor might really hand over all the government and military affairs west of Chang'an to His Royal Highness the Prince, who was called the Supervisor of the State, but in fact already had the power to handle government affairs alone without having to report to His Majesty the Emperor.
The prince is really not an ordinary person!
Yao Chong sighed in his heart!
"Your Highness, you shot a tiger?" When Xue Rengui saw Li Hong, he opened his mouth and asked, if it wasn't for the guards carrying back a tiger, he wouldn't know that Li Hong would come back, and he wouldn't have waited for Li Hong at the door.
"Got a tiger cub back." Li Hong smiled, handed the tiger cub to Xue Rengui and said, "Let someone catch a few doe and feed it some milk." β
"No!" Xue Rengui received the order.
He has no opinion on the prince catching the tiger cub, and he has no opinion on the prince's sheep and tiger cub, but he saw a feather arrow from the tiger that was brought back, and an arrow hit the head, and an arrow killed him, as far as this archery attainment and strength, Xue Rengui admired Li Hong very much, he had such strength at a young age, it was really not simple...
Li Hong, Yao Chong, and Yao Di walked into the big tent, and he asked Yao Chong, "You said you were going to Luoyang?" β
"Yes, Your Highness!" Yao Chong replied.
"What are you doing in Luoyang?" Li Hong asked.
"I want to see the world." Yao Chong replied, a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Do you want to go with Lone?" Li Hong asked.
Yao Di was eager to try, but Yao Chong was a little hesitant.
"If you want, follow Lone's side from now on! Of course, if you don't want to, after you see the world in Luoyang, come to Chang'an to find Lone, and Lone will give you another task. Li Hong began to recruit Yao Chong.
With his identity, as well as Yao Chong's current age and ability to show, it is enough for him to talk about this, and now it depends on Yao Chong's decision
