Chapter 42: Tiger Cub
Why is Cao Cao here, still entangled with tigers, could it be that he is leading people to fight tigers?
Then I quickly join him together, and I will definitely be able to ensure safety.
Although he killed Wang Yue, no one knew if he was still in the same party, and Cao Zhang's heart still had some scruples.
He immediately said to Li Jin: "It's my father who is fighting tigers, let's go over and join them!" ”
The two rode together and walked quickly in the direction from which the tiger's roar came.
As the two got closer and closer to their goal, Cao Zhang gradually sensed that something was wrong.
The woods were relatively quiet, and there was no sound of people neighing and horses whistling, let alone any sign of tigers and leopards and tiger warriors, but only the roaring of tigers and Cao Cao was heard.
Cao Zhang's heart became more and more puzzled: How could Cao Cao be here alone and meet a tiger?
A terrible thought formed in Cao Zhang's mind, could it be that Cao Pi not only wanted to attack himself, but also wanted to kill his father directly?
Isn't Cao Cao's current situation very dangerous?!
Cao Zhang became nervous, the current situation, Cao Cao must not be allowed to have an accident!
His foundation has not yet been solidified, and there is no candidate for the son, if he dies now, Cao Pi will definitely inherit everything as the eldest son.
If he has no support now, he will definitely not be able to seize the status of the prince, even if he takes some people from the Xiahou clan to launch a mutiny, it will only increase the civil strife and lead to a great loss of vitality.
If Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Liu Biao and others took the opportunity to attack, it would be difficult to deal with.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhang was anxious and yelled at Li Jin: "My father is in danger, go and save him!" ”
When Li Jin received the order, he immediately urged the horse vigorously and rushed forward.
The two kept rushing forward through the dense forest, and Cao Zhang anxiously looked forward.
Oh!
Another tiger roar came, this time not far ahead.
Cao Zhang looked intently and clearly saw a tiger lying on the rocks not far ahead.
It's just that this tiger is not big, not yet an adult, and a tiger tail keeps twisting and whipping the ground, and a bloody mouth is wide open, constantly letting out a low howl.
Then Cao Zhang saw that the tiger cub had an eagle arrow stuck in his left eye, and blood kept flowing out of his eye, obviously injured!
The tiger cub stared at a strange eye, constantly tilting his head to stare at a person not far in front of him.
The man with a sword at his waist, a hard bow in his hand, an arrow in both hands, and the tip of the arrow aimed in the direction of the tiger was ready to attack, it was Cao Cao.
Cao Zhang looked at Cao Cao who was confronting the tiger cub and was very surprised, he couldn't imagine how Cao Cao could face such a tiger cub alone......
Cao Cao followed the leopard all the way to the depths of the dense forest, and was completely separated from the others, so he could only dismount and rest alone, thinking that he and Huang Feidian would recover a little, and then slowly find his way back.
Unexpectedly, he went in the wrong direction, going farther and farther in the dense forest, and going further and further away.
At this moment, a tiger roar was heard in the woods ahead, and a tiger cub sprang out.
After all, Cao Cao has been in the army for many years, and although he was a little panicked when he suddenly encountered a tiger, he quickly calmed down, especially when he saw that the tiger's size was very small, and he immediately had the idea of shooting it.
Cao Cao quickly took off his bow and arrows and shot an arrow at the young tiger.
The tiger cub quickly dodged, and although it escaped the fatal point, it was shot in the left eye and was seriously injured.
After being hit by the arrow, the tiger cub instantly became furious and rushed towards Cao Cao.
Although Cao Cao was not afraid of the tiger cub, the claw Huang Feidian under his seat was already so frightened that his hooves were paralyzed.
Cao Cao had no choice but to fly off his horse, dodge on foot through the trees in the forest, and from time to time release arrows to deter the tiger cub and fight with it.
After all, the tiger cub was hit by an arrow, and his eyesight was affected somewhat, which gave Cao Cao the opportunity to wander and has been supported until now.
Of course, Cao Zhang didn't know Cao Cao's mind of wanting to capture the tiger, thinking that he was in danger, he immediately flew off his horse and shouted: "Father! ”
Cao Cao was confronting the young tiger, and suddenly heard someone shouting, swept away with his afterglow, and saw that it was Cao Zhang, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
He knew that Cao Zhangwu was brave, and with his help, it would be easier to capture and kill this tiger cub.
Cao Cao nervously still held his bow and arrow and pointed at the tiger cub in front of him, and then greeted excitedly: "Ziwen, it's just in time, come and help me capture this tiger, it can be regarded as the prey of the two of us!" ”
"Good!" Cao Zhang agreed loudly.
Originally, he wanted to keep a low profile, not to show off in this hunt, and try to maintain a superficial balance.
But Cao Pi actually sent a killer of Wang Yue's level to assassinate him, which shows that no matter what he does, the other party will not stop, and the two have become irreconcilable!
In this case, there is no need for me to be low-key, so let's carry it head-on!
Now there is only Cao Cao alone, and he can help him capture the tiger himself, and he can further curry favor with one stone, killing two birds with one stone!
Cao Zhangfei dismounted, although he had just experienced a life-and-death struggle with Wang Yue, but Cao Zhangfei felt that it was not a problem to capture and kill such a tiger cub, not to mention Li Jin's help.
Li Jin also immediately flew off his horse and took out the bow and arrow and handed it to Cao Zhang's hand.
Cao Zhang took the bow and arrow, quietly pulled it away, and aimed at the tiger cub from a distance.
Although the cub tiger's left eye was hit by an arrow, through the conversation between Cao Cao and Cao Zhang, he also sensed that a new "enemy" was coming, and he was even more nervous, constantly twisting his head, listening to the surrounding movements, and using his right eye to find the location of Cao Cao and Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang slowly walked to Cao Cao's side, and Li Jin also followed and protected Cao Cao.
Cao Zhang was sure that Cao Cao was safe, so he asked, "Father, why did you come here alone?" ”
"Don't mention it, I originally saw a leopard and wanted to shoot it, so I tracked it all the way and got separated from others, chased it here and lost the leopard, but I met this guy."
"It's better this way, no one else has the good fortune to shoot a tiger!" Cao Cao looked very excited and responded to Cao Zhang.
"Now that it's injured, as long as you make up for it with one more arrow, it will definitely not be able to run, Ziwen, hurry up!" Cao Cao urged Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang nodded in agreement, raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and pointed the tip of the arrow at the young tiger......
"Whew!"
The tiger cub let out a tiger roar, and despite its small size, it could still feel a powerful voice.
One of its one-eyed eyes was staring at the Cao father and son and Li Jin beside them.
After all, it was Cao Cao's arrow that caused it to lose its left eye, and when he saw the bow and arrow in Cao Zhang's hand, he showed obvious restlessness.
Cao Zhang adjusted the angle, and the tip of the arrow was aimed at the young tiger's head, ready to shoot it with an arrow!
Unexpectedly, at the moment when Cao Zhang was about to release the arrow, the young tiger suddenly slammed to the side, turned around and ran towards the dense forest behind him.
Feeling the threat of death, it didn't want to confront the Cao family anymore, so it chose to flee......
Of course, Cao Zhang would not let it go like this, and quickly released the arrow.
The arrow broke through the air, but after all, it was a step too slow, and only hit the hind leg of the tiger cub, but it was not directly fatal.
The tiger cub let out a miserable howl again, but it did not stop at his feet, dragged his injured leg, and continued to run forward......
Cao Cao naturally didn't watch it run away, and immediately yelled: "Where to run!?" ”
Cao Cao held a bow and arrows and quickly chased after him......
Seeing Cao Cao chasing, Cao Zhang and Li Jin naturally did not fall behind, and they each chased after him with weapons......
