Qian Ning was the savior and averted a disaster. Everyone was still worried and secretly thankful.
Zhu Houzhao was also in shock. After ordering Qian Ning to be sent away for treatment, he walked to the big bear and took a closer look. Even though the bear was dead, looking at its sharp claws and fangs at this moment was still terrifying.
The bear's claws were as sharp as sharp daggers. If he swung his claws down, his intestines would be broken. If Qian Ning hadn't saved him, he would have died under the bear's sharp claws and fangs.
Although the excitement was exciting, he definitely had a narrow escape today. Zhu Houzhao no longer had the interest to continue hunting.
"Where did this bear... come from? How could there be a bear on the island?" Zhu Houzhao asked in a deep voice.
Liu Jin's face turned pale and he knelt down on the ground, saying repeatedly: "Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die. This bear was caught by my servant from the old forest deep in the Taihang Mountains. I wanted to surprise the emperor today and let him see it."
Unexpectedly…”
Zhu Houzhao sneered and said: "Surprise? It's really a surprise for me. It almost killed me. Why didn't you tell me before that there was a bear in the forest?"
Liu Jin kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die. But the bear is locked up in an iron fence. How dare I let it loose in the forest? Because it was locked up, I didn't say anything. I thought I would deal with it later."
After crossing the fence, you can let the emperor see the fight between the bear and the tiger. Slave... I wanted to make the emperor happy. Who would have thought that this beast actually ran out. Slave deserves to die, please forgive me."
After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao stared at Liu Jin for a moment, but he soon lost his temper. He understood that this black bear was the ferocious beast that Liu Jin had specially found for himself.
During the Chinese New Year this year, one of the programs arranged by Liu Jin was a game in which the guards fought shirtlessly to determine the winner. Zhu Houzhao liked it very much. Seeing the guards beating his head to pieces and bleeding, Zhu Houzhao was cheering and cheering beside him, and he was very happy.
Inadvertently, Zhu Houzhao said: Although it looks good to see the guards fighting each other, it does not determine life and death, and it is not exciting enough after all. It is not suitable for the guards to compete with each other with their lives. How can a fight be more bloody without violating human ethics?
That must be a lot of fun.
Zhu Houzhao said casually, and Liu Jin was naturally fully satisfied. Soon Liu Jin came up with a fun idea, which was to let the death row prisoners fight with the beasts. Anyway, those people are death row prisoners. If they can defeat the beasts, their crimes will be pardoned, and they will fight with all their strength to survive.
.If they are defeated and die from the mouths of ferocious beasts, they deserve their punishment. They are going to die anyway.
After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao felt very shocked and excited. He thought this idea was wonderful. But after calming down, Zhu Houzhao immediately realized that doing so would cause trouble. Feeding people tigers is the act of a tyrant and breaks through human ethics.
Bottom line. Let's play and have fun. The bottom line cannot be exceeded. I don't want to be reviled forever, so I immediately rejected it.
However, Liu Jin soon came up with a new plan, proposing to let the beasts fight each other. The scene would be exciting and would not be criticized. Liu Jin also said that when the time comes, the princes and ministers will also raise the beasts, and a beast fighting competition will be held. Please
All officials and people of the Ming Dynasty watched it live and enjoyed it with the people.
Liu Jin also said that he would find an invincible beast for the emperor to tame and fight. By then, the emperor's beast would defeat everyone else's beasts and become the best in the world. Wouldn't that be so majestic?
This proposal was immediately approved by Zhu Houzhao, because it was completely in line with his love for fun and the pursuit of sensory stimulation, and it also satisfied his own vanity. Think about it, hundreds of officials and people gathered together to watch the beasts fight and compete.
Winner, what an exciting and lively scene it will be.
Only at this moment did Zhu Houzhao realize that this black bear was probably the beast that Liu Jin had found for him. Indeed, this bear was fully qualified, huge in size, with sharp teeth and claws, and extremely ferocious. Jackals, tigers and leopards were definitely no match for him. Liu Jin
I wanted to give myself a surprise, but I didn't expect this accident to happen. The bear escaped from the fence, leading to the current result. Although it almost killed me, it seemed that Liu Jin couldn't blame it.
"That's it. Get up. It's a pity. This bear probably has no other beasts that can rival it. What a pity." Zhu Houzhao said, his words full of regret.
Liu Jin kowtowed to thank him and broke into a sweat. If he really wanted to pursue this matter, he would not be able to reap the benefits. After all, the emperor almost lost his life. If the emperor was angry, it would not be unjust to chop off his own head. The emperor would not pursue the matter.
, what a blessing.
At that moment, Zhu Houzhao ordered him to pack up and return to the leopard room. Zhu Houzhao refused to let go of the dead bear. He ordered that the skin of the black bear should be peeled off and hung in his house as decoration, and that the claws and teeth of the bear should be peeled off to make it.
He made a dagger. He also ordered the bear meat to be cut into dozens of portions and given to the princes and nobles as rewards.
Zhang Yanling had been frowning and dazed after listening to Liu Jin's previous words. When Zhu Houzhao left, Zhang Yanling did not follow him, but said that he would choose the best piece of meat to take home to eat. Zhu Houzhao also laughed at Zhang Yanling, saying that he
You have to take advantage of bear meat.
After Zhu Houzhao and others left, Zhang Yanling started to wander around. He walked to the place where Qian Ning and the black bear were fighting, picked up a tattered armor from the ground and looked at it. The armor had been torn apart by the bear's claws.
It was pulpy, so it was left there and no one cared about it.
Zhang Yanling looked over and over for a while, and suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The armor of the generals of the Han Dynasty is very sophisticated. It is different from the purple cloth face armor equipped by ordinary frontier troops and some soldiers in the Beijing camp. As the elite of the bodyguards, they wear more sophisticated Shanwen chain mail. This
It is an extremely strong and defensive armor that can withstand the slashing and stabbing of ordinary weapons.
However, unless they are traveling or fighting, the generals of the Han Dynasty usually wear hoods, which are lighter and have good defensive capabilities. During today's hunting, most of the guards wear hoods.
However, the broken armor Zhang Yanling held in his hand was Shanwen chain mail.
Logically speaking, this is nothing. Qian Ning is free to wear any armor. This is not a battle, and there are no special requirements. There are also people wearing chain armor in the team, which is not surprising. However, Zhang Yanling was in Qian Ning's mountain.
A strange thing was found in the inner lining of the chainmail armor. It was an extra layer of iron sheets, embedded in the inner layer of the armor, wrapped in thick cloth, and sewn into the inner lining.
Zhang Yanling was the leader, so he naturally knew the shape and structure of the armor. If the chain armor in his hand was not broken, he would not have known that there was such a thing inside. This layer of iron was obviously an additional artificial protection.
The front and back pieces are attached to the vital parts of the chest and back as an extra layer of protection in addition to the armor.
This is just a hunting, Qian Ning is just an ordinary guard of the Han general. Wearing the mountain chain armor is already bulky and unnecessary, and there is another layer of iron protection added to the armor.
Why? Is it necessary? Is he so precious about his life? Or does he know that this trip is dangerous?
Zhang Yanling called a member of the Jinyi Guard and asked him to take him to the fence where the black bear was kept. The Jinyi Guard was very puzzled, but it was difficult to refuse Zhang Houye's order, so he led Zhang Yanling there.
Zhang Yanling came to the fence where the black bears were imprisoned. He found that although the fence was not big, only seven or eight feet in diameter, the entire fence was made of iron bars as thick as arms. It was simply a strong prison.
.
The distance between the iron fences was only half a foot wide, and it was impossible for the black bear to get out of it. The fence was three feet high, and the trees inside were all cut down, so it was impossible for the black bear to climb out.
The door of the fence was closed tightly, and the huge iron bolt was tied tightly. It seemed that it was impossible for the bear to get out of the door. So, how did the bear escape?
After walking around the fence, Zhang Yanling finally found the reason why the black bear escaped. In the southwest corner of the fence, a large hole was dug in the ground, forming a tunnel leading from the inside to the outside of the fence.
On the fence, Zhang Yanling saw the clumps of bear hair scraped off and the deep scratches left by the bear's claws on the ground.
"Oh, this beast is so smart. This fence is actually built on a piece of gravel, and the ground is very hard. But here in the southwest corner, there is a small piece of soft mud. That is where the bear dug the ground.
After getting out, have you become sperm?"
The guard who accompanied Zhang Yanling said in surprise.
Zhang Yanling asked a few questions and determined that except for the southwest corner, the ground inside was actually a stone ground. In order to make the ground smooth, a layer of bluestone was laid on it. From the outside, there was absolutely nothing unusual about it.
This bear is so smart, how did it know that the ground in the southwest corner is soft? How did it know that it could dig out from here? Could it be that it really became a spirit?
Of course Zhang Yanling didn't believe it. Bears may have intelligence, but beasts are beasts, and they can really become spirits. Do you know where they can be dug out? And there are no traces of digging in other places. So the bear dug out directly from here. Could it be that he has grown up?
Is it possible to wear X-ray eyes?
Zhang Yanling carefully observed the excavation tunnel for a while, and then he found the answer.
There were a bunch of bloody feathers on the ground, a few chicken feet tied with hemp ropes scattered in the grass, and a bloody chicken head. There were chickens on the island, and they looked like live chickens, which was already very strange.
.This chicken’s feet are tied, which is even more strange.
A few tied chickens, a bear digging into the ground with precision, a pair of lined armor, an unexpected bear attack, and a desperate rescue effort to protect the owner.
All this formed a long chain, and a well-designed plan was completely presented in Zhang Yanling's mind. When he heard the name Qian Ning, Zhang Yanling knew who he was, and he also realized that this time
Loyally protecting the Lord is not simple. It is indeed a self-directed and self-acted drama.
Zhang Yanling had to lament that all accidents around the emperor were not accidents, and all coincidences were actually not coincidences. Although the emperor among them had supreme power, he was surrounded by various calculations. Is this a kind of sadness? Save yourself
