Chapter 248 Tiger Roar
?The clouds clear and the fog dissipates, and the scorching sun shines.
Above the blue dome, a white falcon and a black eagle flew up and down, hovering in an interlaced manner.
And among the lush and lush trees, a hunting dog and a lynx chased each other forward and turned back.
Li Shimin and Li Yuanji rode along the edge of the woods. Today, the two brothers were secretly competing and heading straight for the tiger. Except for Li Yao, who fell behind in the middle, they did not bring other followers with him.
Soon, they suddenly heard two long roars coming from the air, each taking bows and arrows, aiming at the geese chasing the two birds of prey.
The arrows were like meteors, and a wailing sound suddenly sounded in the air. The geese fell straight down, causing the hunting dogs and lynxes to compete to summon the sumo towards the landing point.
After a while, the two hunting assistants rushed to their respective owners' horses with half of the corpses of the geese in their hands. Li Shimin and Li Yuanji leaned down and snatched their pets. Then, they laughed almost at the same time.
But the laughter came to an abrupt end soon.
Because the two brothers found that the prey in each other was also inserted into arrows, one hit the chest and neck, and the other hit the lower abdomen, it was obvious that the winner was not decided.
"Brown slave, then."
Li Yuanji threw the corpse of prey to the salivating lynx with a look of disgust. The lynx immediately threw the bloody corpse under his body, and the food made his throat rumbling.
Li Shimin looked back and suggested, "Let's wait for Ming Zhao first."
Li Yuanji nodded: "Okay."
Later, the two brothers found an empty place by the forest, and waited to tie up the mount and recall the hunting birds. Li Yuanji was about to climb onto the tree and hang a flag to signal to Li Yao who was behind, but who knew that Li Shimin took the lead and suddenly opened his bow and released the strings, shooting a whistle arrow into the sky.
Li Yuanji said in surprise: "Second brother... what do you mean?"
It was just an ordinary hunting. Li Shimin actually used the whistlebrating battle and regular hunting activities, which really scared him.
Li Shimin hurriedly smiled and explained: "Yuan Ji didn't know anything. For my brother, our good sister has a very smart ear, so doing this will naturally save you much more trouble."
Li Yuanji was skeptical, but he quickly put away the flag and sat on the tree trunks and rested on the tree trunks. After all, before finding the tiger, they still had to ensure full energy.
Li Shimin skillfully pulled out the feathers of his prey, then pulled out a short knife, cut the bird's meat into small pieces, while feeding his beloved dog, and laughing at Li Yuanji: "It seems that the fourth brother's archery skills have improved a lot in the past two years, and they are far ahead of his elder brother."
Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows and shook his head gently and said, "Brother is sleeping at night and has been working hard for state affairs all year round. When will we be so free now?"
Although Li Yuanji has a bad temper, he is very smart. If he only talks about his ability to plot against others, the arrogant Li Shimin would be afraid of him.
Therefore, when he heard Li Shimin say these words of boasting and boasting, he guessed that his intention was nothing more than to step on his elder brother Li Jiancheng and test whether he had the ambition to fight for the throne.
Li Shimin smiled awkwardly, bowed to Chang'an and said, "The fourth brother is right, the second brother just said something wrong."
The two were resting, and suddenly there was a sudden sound of horse hooves. A girl wearing a sunshade hat rode a horse and rushed to the front and grabbed it. Qinghai Cong neighed and stood up. Before the horse hooves were paused, the girl had already jumped down, took off her weft hat and said with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, I've made the two brothers wait for a long time. It's all because this big cat is too good at escaping. Mingzhen chased it for several miles before he caught it."
Li Shimin and Li Yuanji glanced at Li Yao's mount and saw the skin tied behind the saddle revealing the head of a golden leopard.
The leopard had a broken mouth, bleeding from the nose, and the hair on the forehead was bald. The two leopards were tearful and looked quite pitiful, which made the Li brothers feel a little sympathy for it.
Li Yuanji suddenly stood up, pulled out his waist knife, and walked towards Li Yao's mount. Li Yao was shocked and said in surprise: "What do the Fourth Brother wants to do?"
Li Yuanji said seriously: "Brother, I think the big cat is pitiful. Such beautiful fur is broken. Why don't you give it a happy time..."
"No, no."
Li Yao hurriedly protected the leopard and said with a serious expression: "Mingzhen caught it to be kept as a pet."
She said, prying the leopard's mouth with her hands: "You have a closer look at its teeth. This is a young big cat and it is worth taming!"
"Well, since Ming Zhao likes it, I will save this big cat's life."
Li Yuanji nodded, put his knife in the sheath, and sat back under the tree.
Li Yao smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Ming Zhao thanked the fourth brother for not killing him." After that, he treated the wound on the leopard's head.
Li Shimin stroking his palm and laughed: "Hahaha... It's the first time that Brother Wei has seen someone who can knead a newly caught wild leopard like this. Those who have been taming animals all year round may not be as good as Mingzhen!"
As soon as the laughter fell, a tiger roar suddenly came from the woods, which was so shocked that the mount was soaked that the fur of the hunting beast stood up, and the birds flapped their wings and flew up.
Li Yuanji's expression tightened and he whispered: "No! The spots are too close."
Li Shimin reminded Li Yao: "This spot is the king of the forest, and is definitely not comparable to a big cat. Please return quickly."
"Brother, don't underestimate Ming Zhao."
Li Yao said, taking a bow and arrow from his mount, placing an arrow, pulling the bow like a full moon, aiming at the source of the tiger's roar. As soon as the bow string was released, the long arrow flew over the woods like lightning. Then, a long roar containing anger and pain suddenly resounded throughout the woods.
Li Yuanji said in surprise: "With so many trees, we can't see the shadow of the spots, but listening to the movement... Mingzhen seemed to have shot."
In fact, Li Yao just wanted to show that he could pull the strong bow and shoot far, but he accidentally injured the tiger, but she did not show any gratitude.
Li Yao smiled proudly and said, "My skill is called 'listening to sound and distinguishing position'. Do the two brothers think Mingzhen still needs to leave?"
Li Shimin looked up and down at Li Yao, as if he wanted to re-recognize her. After a while, he said, "Ming Zhao stayed here to guard the mount, Yuan Ji and I went up to deal with Banzi."
Li Yao said dissatisfiedly: "I want to go too!"
Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened, his eyes were chilling, and he almost said to Li Yao in an orderly tone: "Ming Zhao is obedient, stay here!"
Li Yao was shocked for no reason and nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Mingzhen won't go."
Li Shimin's expression was a little slow, and added meaningfully: "Mingzhen's best not to follow him secretly, for your brother, this is all for your own good."
Li Yao pursed his lips and nodded, "Mingzhen understands."
Li Shimin waved at Li Yuanji: "Let's go."
The two brothers called the birds and beasts to hunt and quickly penetrated into the deep lush and dark forest...
