Xiao Wenjun fully drew the bowstring and fired two arrows, aiming at the eyes of the first tiger. With two whooshes, he hit the target and half of the arrow was buried. The tiger howled and fell to the ground.
Before everyone had time to cheer, two other tigers had already rushed in front of them. A frightened Imperial Guard was so frightened that his neck was bitten off by one of the tigers before he could resist, and he died on the spot.
Xiao Wenjun made a prompt decision, threw away the bow and arrow, drew out the soft sword from her waist, and faced the tiger that was about to pounce on the emperor. The sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, and she felt a numbness in the tiger's mouth, and she almost couldn't hold the hilt of the sword in her hand.
The tiger jumped back, and she cut off a section of its sharp claws, but this did not affect its combat effectiveness, but instead aroused its ferocity!
After the first round of charge, they seemed to have a very keen sense of danger and knew who was not to be trifled with.
At the same time, another tiger that had bitten off a man's neck also moved. It took the opportunity to bite off the neck of the last imperial soldier. The two tigers cooperated. They hovered within a range of three feet away from them.
Find opportunities.
At this moment, there are only three people left in the field, and two tigers are facing each other. The emperor's combat power is negligible, and Yu Wenyao is the traitor. The situation is greatly unfavorable to Xiao Wenjun!
But Yu Wenyao was anxious. This matter must be resolved quickly and he must be rescued quickly. After a long time, someone will come over.
Before long, Yu Wenyao became cruel and deliberately exposed a flaw. Although he did it very covertly, Xiao Wenjun, who had been paying attention to him distractedly, discovered it immediately.
Sure enough, the tiger's second wave of charge came immediately. Xiao Wenjun only had time to kill the tiger in front of him, but the other tiger rushed in front of the emperor. She had no time to save him. This time, she was the one to blame...
It was too late, but it was fast. I don’t know which direction, but suddenly shot an arrow. At the critical moment, it went straight into the tiger’s back and throat. However, the tiger’s skin was rough and thick, so it was not killed by the arrow. It just slowed down its movements for a few seconds.
.
But these few seconds were enough for Xiao Wenjun! She immediately drew out her dagger, flew in front of the emperor, and stabbed the tip of the knife straight into the tiger's throat. She could not stop until she encountered a hard object, and the tiger was already dead.
These things seemed to have passed for a long time, but in fact it only took a blink of an eye for the stunned Yu Wenyao to come back to his senses. He quickly raised his sword and slashed hard at the blind tiger, as if venting his anger.
What are you wearing?
At this point, the emperor's side lost two people, and the tiger army was completely wiped out.
The emperor, who was as steady as a rock from beginning to end, glanced into the distance and saw a man in the uniform of the Archguard rushing over, kneeling on one knee and saluting.
"I am late to save you, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"No courtesy, it's not too late, it's just right!" The emperor spoke with a strong voice. Seeing his strong skills and the boldness and carefulness of the arrow just now, he felt pity for his talent, "Raise your head."
When the emperor saw his face for the first time, he was shocked. But when he took a closer look, he felt that he looked familiar, so he asked, "What's your name?"
"Your Majesty, the name of the humble minister is Wang Jiuyuan, but he is the Qianhu of the Gongwei Si."
"Oh, you are the young man that Sun Zheng promoted recently?" Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked: "But the son of Mr. Wang Ge?"
Not only Wang Jiuyuan was stunned, but Xiao Wenjun and Yu Wenyao were also stunned. It seemed that the emperor only remembered the people he really cared about.
"It's Wei Chen."
Hearing this, the emperor just smiled and didn't ask any more questions. It seemed that he didn't care about why Wangge, an old and clear family, would allow his only son to work as an official in the Guards Department, and yet be so active. Fortunately, he was active, otherwise he would not be such an old man.
I'm afraid my fate must be handed down here.
In fact, it was the emperor who was being sentimental. After knowing that Xiao Wenjun wanted to accompany him, Wang Jiuyuan took advantage of the convenience of his patrol to keep an eye on the movements here, so as soon as he heard the roar of the tiger, he rushed over immediately.
"Princess Lanling!" The emperor emphasized his tone, "Very good!"
The emperor rarely praised someone like this. The last time he praised someone was more than ten years ago, and it was Xiao Wenjun's father who praised him.
This time he saw that Xiao Wenjun was not afraid of danger and was very brave. His moves were well planned and his decisiveness in killing was the talent of a general. As expected, a tiger father has no dog daughter.
"My lord, thank you for your compliments." Xiao Wenjun's face was calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous.
You say something here, I say something, but Yu Wenyao, the only prince, was left aside. He was not happy at all. Everything he had planned so hard was intercepted by Wang Jiuyuan's arrow and Xiao Wenjun's knife.
Stealing the credit of his rescue.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenyao's eyes were filled with tears. It took him a lot of energy and money to find these tigers, and the cost of domestication was not to mention. He had been waiting for these many years, and finally created the opportunity.
It was all in vain again.
Eunuch An couldn't wait for the emperor for a long time, so he mounted his horse and led people to look for him.
When they arrived, they were shocked to see blood all over the ground. There was still a faint smell of blood in the air. There were three tiger corpses lying on the ground. The tigers were huge, as big as a cow.
Seeing this, Mr. An's whole body went limp and he almost fell down. Zeng Biao, the commander of the Forbidden Army next to him, had quick eyes and quick hands and pulled him. Even so, Mr. An also fell off his horse. He looked embarrassed, but in fact he was not injured.
But he didn't care much and ran towards that direction, only to see the emperor and others looking calm and chatting and laughing, which formed a strong contrast with the bloody scenes around them.
It would be confusing to say that Eunuch An was concerned. He only saw corpses all over the ground but not the emperor standing safe and sound.
"The rescue came too late, and you will be punished with death!" Zeng Biao was the emperor's commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, and naturally he was also a close confidant. Seeing that His Majesty was fine this time, he was not as panicked as Eunuch An, thinking that he
Apologize calmly.
"Definitely deserved!" The emperor's face suddenly darkened, pointing at the corpses of the two Forbidden Soldiers, and scolded: "But it's not entirely because you were too late to save me. I can safely hand over the Forbidden Army to you. This is how you trained them.
?”
Faced with the emperor's sudden and furious scolding, Zeng Biao was stunned for a moment and did not dare to defend himself. He knelt down and kowtowed, and repeatedly apologized: "Your Majesty, please calm down..."
"Seeing that you still don't know where you are wrong, I will teach you to understand. One: after clearing the area, why are there still wild beasts in the paddock? It is a dereliction of duty!"
"Second: After discovering the ferocious beast, the imperial guards did not know how to defend themselves against the enemy. Instead, they first picked off the beast and pushed the archguard out to take the blame. This is unjust!"
"Third: After being surrounded by ferocious beasts, it is estimated that one's own combat power is insufficient, and fearing without fighting, and having no power to parry in front of the tiger, is called incompetence!"
"Such an incompetent, disloyal and unjust person, trained by you, is actually the last line of defense to protect our Qi! What use do I have for this forbidden army?"
