Volume 1 Jingshi Chapter 9 Fighting the Tiger
Chapter 9: Fighting the Tiger
Early the next morning, Zhu Houhuang still came to the leopard room early, and this time Zhengde did not lie in bed.
However, today Zhengde has changed his tricks to play.
Zhengde said: "Yesterday, a new big insect was sent below, this big insect is extremely fierce, and when you catch this big insect, you can hurt several people." Today, let's go see the big worm. ”
Zhu Houhuang is naturally indispensable.
And Zhengde did not mean to ask Zhu Houhuang's opinion.
Zhu Houhuang followed Zhengde to a mansion, which looked like it was old. It's not new, Zhu Houhuang knows in his heart that this is where the real leopard house is.
The so-called leopard house is a place where tigers and leopards are kept in captivity, and similar place names include eagle house, elephant house and so on. Zhengde's leopard room is from the palace, because it is close to the leopard room, hence the name. And where he is now, it should be in the real leopard room.
In the middle of the yard, there was a wooden fence, and there was a big insect inside.
Zhu Houhuang looked at it, it was a big tiger, completely different from those big cats in the zoo. He lay motionless, and the flick of his two pale yellow eyes made people feel a chill.
Is it murderous?
This tiger has at least four or five lives under his command.
It looked languid, its body was four or five meters long, and its yellow patterns fell from the top of its head to its tail. Especially the king character on the head, it looks majestic.
Zhengde came to the fence and said, "What a majestic tiger." Just as he was about to move forward, Qian Ning stepped forward to block Zhengde's path and said, "Your Majesty, no." ”
Zhengde slapped Qian Ning away and said, "I am the king of the world, how can I be afraid of a tiger." Moreover," Zhengde pointed to the soldiers around him and said: "Wu Song is a thief, and he has the ability to fight tigers. You are all national tigers, can't you subdue a tiger? ”
The attendant military attache who followed Zhengde was not something that the Han general could only use as a humanoid ornament, but the elite of the Outer Fourth Army and the Beijing camp.
To be honest, these people are really not afraid of a tiger. was provoked by Zhengde's language, and almost everyone knelt down together. Jiang Bin said: "Minister, please fight the tiger." ”
Zhengde laughed and said: "Why bother, the general is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty." Why do you need to be like this big worm? Take a walk and look closer. ”
At this moment, no one stopped Zhengde anymore.
Zhengde came to the fence and was about to say something. The tiger jumped several feet away, and threw itself on the fence with a roar.
A tiger roared and Zhu Houhuang was really deaf. I couldn't help but step back.
Even though Zhengde is extremely bold, he is also a little timid at the moment. I couldn't help but take a step back. But when I saw this tiger, I hit the fence one after another, but I couldn't get out, and I couldn't help laughing at myself: "What a big insect, I'm scared." ”
Even so, Jiang Bin and the others immediately stood in front of Zhengde and separated Zhengde from the tiger.
A strange sound reached Zhu Houhuang's ears, and he looked at it, but it was a wooden fence, I don't know how many years ago, it was already a little decayed. And the tiger was stimulated by so many people, and it couldn't support it.
Zhu Houhuang shouted: "It's not good, Your Majesty go quickly." As he spoke, he grabbed Zhengde's hand and pulled it back sharply.
Zhengde doesn't know what to do yet. I heard a bang, and a wooden fence smashed down, and the tiger's head was lowered, and its limbs paused slightly, and with a roar, it pounced.
Zhengde was so frightened that his body stiffened slightly, and his palms were cold.
Zhu Houhuang was even more frightened, and he was bent on pulling Zhengde to the back.
At the last moment, there was a loud sound of drawing a knife, and Jiang Bin had already pounced.
Jiang Bin slashed down with a knife, the attack was fierce, this big insect had already been caught once, and he naturally knew that this blade was not easy to mess with, so he avoided it slightly, and wanted to avoid it.
But where did Jiang Bin tolerate the big insect to alarm Zhengde. But when he saw that he was critical, he turned his hand over, and the long knife was raised, and a long blood mark was drawn on the shoulder of the big insect.
Seeing the blood, the big worm couldn't help but take a step back.
There is room for this step. Jiang Bin made up for it instantly. He stood in the gap in the fence and blocked the big worm.
The big worm saw the blood and went even more violent. pounced on Jiang Bin. But Jiang Bin didn't dare to move, because behind him was Zhengde.
Jiang Bin is also self-aware, even though he has excellent martial arts, he is not a great person. And compared with the tiger, in terms of absolute strength, it is definitely weaker than the tiger, if you don't move a step and fight hard with this tiger, there will be no good end. The plan of the day. There is nothing more than attacking and defending.
Jiang Bin shouted loudly and said: "Your Majesty sits down and watches the ministers kill tigers for Your Majesty." ”
Before the words fell, Jiang Bin rushed out and pounced on the tiger alone. Make a mess with the tigers.
It is said that the battle is a group, but in fact, the two are fighting. The big tiger that is four or five meters long only needs to knock down Jiang Bin, no matter how much strength Jiang Bin has, there is no way to live.
Therefore, if Jiang Bin wants to survive and defeat the tiger, he needs to have live eyelids, fast feet, and quick reactions. You go back and forth with the tiger, while leading the tiger's nose, while coldly slashing the tiger.
But even so, in order to avoid the tiger, Jiang Bin even crawled with a roll, and he was embarrassed, and he no longer had that arrogant arrogance.
At the same time that Jiang Bin was entanglement with the tiger, I don't know how many soldiers rushed out from the side. One by one, they raised their muskets and aimed them at the tigers, and they only needed to give an order. to kill the tiger.
Seeing this, Zhengde immediately ordered: "No fire." ”
At this time, the musket was not accurate at all, and it was completely a range hit. As soon as they opened fire, whether the tiger could be killed or not was not said for the time being, Jiang Bin would definitely accompany the funeral.
How can Zhengde be willing to do this.
Zhu Houhuang immediately said: "Quick, drop a batch of crossbowmen." ”
As he spoke, a group of crossbowmen also rushed over from outside, enclosing the entire fence with a sturdy one, and I don't know how many muskets and how many bows and arrows were aimed at the tiger and Jiang Bin.
The tiger is not stupid, it can feel the deep malice around it.
In this way, its attention cannot but be distracted.
And Jiang Bin was waiting for this moment.
Jiang Bin has always been. The attention is not completely on the tiger, because he is worried about Zhengde, his wealth and glory are tied to Zhengde, once Zhengde has something, not only will he die without forgiveness. Together with their families, cronies, and subordinates, they can't afford it. At this moment, the team has already rushed over, and even ten more tigers will not be able to kill Zhengde. Jiang Bin also completely let go of his hands and feet.
He saw the tiger pounce on him, his body was short, as if he were a child, his feet were forceful, and he rushed over with the whole thing close to the ground, and the long knife in his hand was erected. Flashed under the tiger's belly.
The tiger didn't have time to scream when it landed, and it fell to the ground.
Jiang Bin was sweating profusely, took two deep breaths, and then came to the tiger's side, grabbed the tiger's tail with one hand, arched the muscles all over his body, and shook the tiger to the ground.
But I saw a long knife mark on the tiger's body, from the bottom of the tiger's neck to the tail, it had already been disemboweled. Countless internal organs were spilled all over the ground.
Zhengde said loudly: "Okay." He stepped out of the crowd, came to the tiger, and stepped on the tiger's head. said: "Jiang Aiqing, how should I punish you?" ”
Jiang Bin fought with the tiger, which took a long time, but in fact, it was only a few rounds. But Jiang Bin's energy had been exhausted, and his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, and his clothes and hair had already been attached to his body.
Jiang Bin knelt on the ground and said, "Minister, show your blade in front of you." Capital offense, capital offense. ”
Zhengde said: "Who said you this? This big worm is obviously for me to try my hand. But you killed me. ”
Zhu Houhuang knew that in Zhengde's heart, Jiang Bin was already unshakable. Zhengde seems to blame Jiang Bin, but in fact, it is just to cover up. Just now, when Zhu Houhuang grabbed Zhengde and pulled Zhengde back, how could he not know that Zhengde's hands and feet were cold, his body was a little stiff, and he was in a state where he could move with the tiger.
Jiang Bin said: "The minister is guilty. ”
Zhengde shook his hand and said: "It's good to know the guilt, don't be so eager next time." However," Zhengde thought about it and said, "How should I reward you?" He was silent for a moment and said, "There is." ”
