Chapter 573 This Little Tiger Belongs to Me

Ning Chen called Lei An over, pointed at Mu Anbang, and said in a deep voice: "Take them back to the camp to rest, it's annoying to see them!"

"Yes!"

Lei An took Mu Anbang and more than 3,000 soldiers away.

Ning Chen looked at Feng Qizhen, "What's hanging on your chest?"

Feng Qizhen had a bundle hanging on his chest, and it was still moving inside.

Feng Qizhen smiled and pulled open a corner of the bundle, revealing a furry head.

Ning Chen's eyes widened suddenly.

At first he thought it was a cat, but after a closer look, it turned out to be a little tiger.

"Where did it come from?"

Feng Qizhen smiled and said, "I found it when I went into the valley to find them."

"Give it to me!"

Feng Qizhen handed it over.

Ning Chen took out the little tiger. The little tiger was still very small, about 30 centimeters long, and it roared at Ning Chen, looking fierce and cute.

Ning Chen subconsciously looked in the direction of the valley, so as not to attract its mother.

"Didn't you see other tigers?"

Feng Qizhen shook his head.

Yue Congyun said, "There is a shortage of food and clothing in the valley. The tigress should have been killed and eaten by General Mu and his men."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched.

He looked at Feng Qizhen, "This little tiger belongs to me."

Feng Qizhen was unwilling, "Why?"

"Because I am the prince and you are my deputy general."

"The prince should also follow the rules, right?"

Ning Chen asked Yue Congyun with a smile, "What should I do if I disobey military orders?"

"At the least, I will be punished with a cane, and at the most, I will be beheaded!"

Ning Chen looked at Feng Qizhen, "Do you want to be beaten or do you want this little brain axe?"

Feng Qizhen said angrily, "Okay, okay...Isn't it okay if I give it to you?"

Ning Chen held the little tiger and smiled, "It's a matter of reciprocity. You give me a little tiger and I give you a crocodile...Follow me."

Ning Chen brought the two to the front.

"Oh my...What kind of monster is this?"

Feng Qizhen exclaimed.

"This is a crocodile... I'll give you one, go catch it yourself."

Feng Qi rolled his eyes, this thing is too ugly, and looks very ferocious.

Under the siege of the Ning'an Army, most of the crocodiles were eliminated, and a small part escaped!

Ning Chen asked Yuan Long to arrange people to peel off the skins of these crocodiles.

In fact, crocodile meat is also a delicacy.

But these crocodiles have eaten the bodies of Showa soldiers, so they are definitely not edible.

The soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.

Ning Chen returned to the tent, and he asked someone to get mare's milk and feed it to the little tiger little by little.

It was not until the second half of the night that the battlefield was cleaned up.

The next morning.

Ning Chen woke up and rubbed his eyebrows. The little tiger kept barking last night, making him sleep poorly.

Ning Chen ordered people to start searching for the whereabouts of the warships.

Near noon, Lei An came to report that as Ning Chen expected, the warships were docked in that tributary.

At the same time, a lot of gold, silver and jewelry were found in those warships.

The army set out and came to the tributary where the warships were docked.

In addition to more than one hundred Daxuan warships, there were also hundreds of small warships... These should be Showa warships.

Although small, they are very maneuverable.

The more than two thousand Showa soldiers guarding the warships were directly ordered by Ning Chen to be slaughtered, leaving no one alive.

Ning Chen asked someone to call Mu Anbang.

After a night of recuperation, Mu Anbang and the three thousand soldiers had recovered their spirits.

"Mu Anbang, I should have killed you yesterday... but it would be too easy for you to die like this."

"I'll give you an order now."

Mu Anbang was ashamed and hurriedly said, "General, please give your orders!"

"Take the three thousand people and find all the lost soldiers. I'll wait for you in Linhai City!"

"I obey your orders!"

Ning Chen snorted coldly and immediately ordered to board the ship.

The next afternoon, Ning Chen returned to Linhai City.

Ning Chen asked someone to make two boxes, one for Sakamoto Mitsuki's head and one empty.

He sent two boxes to Xiangzhou.

I believe that King Rui will understand that the empty box is prepared for him.

Then, Ning Chen asked people to find the best tanner in the city.

Before silk and satin appeared, people used fur as clothing.

Tanners are craftsmen who specialize in processing fur.

If the hair and oil on the leather are not handled cleanly, it will become hard after drying.

Therefore, if you want to make protective armor with crocodile skin, you have to use tanners.

They can handle these animal skins very cleanly, and then soak them in some plant juice, and there are multiple processes to make the leather soft and tough.

However, tanners usually make decorations on clothes, which are small items.

It was the first time to make large items.

However, Ning Chen provided them with production methods and ideas.

These tanners were taken to the military camp and began to process crocodile skin.

There were not many crocodile skins, and it was impossible to make armor, so they could only be made into vests, worn outside the underwear, and then put on armor, which could greatly improve the defense.

City Lord's Mansion.

Ning Chen called Yuan Long and others to discuss the next battle.

If you want to get to Xiangzhou, you have to pass through Haizhong City.

According to the spy report, there are only 20,000 troops stationed in Haizhong City.

King Rui has a total of 120,000 troops.

100,000 troops from the East Border, plus his 20,000 personal troops.

In other words, Xiangzhou now has 50,000 troops, 30,000 troops from the East Border, plus King Rui's 20,000 personal troops.

"These few days, let everyone recuperate... set off in five days to attack Haizhong City."

Ning Chen said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

"Is there any news about Mu Anbang?"

Yuan Long shook his head, "Not yet!"

Ning Chen snorted coldly, "Twenty-five thousand people were defeated by the Showa dwarf. It's embarrassing."

He could tolerate losing to others, but losing to the Showa dwarf was something he couldn't tolerate.

"Okay, let's all get busy!"

"Yuan Long, bring some drinks to the soldiers so they can relax... Don't drink too much, two taels per person."

Yuan Long leaned over and said, "Yes!"

"Are those Eastern Border troops still honest?"

Yuan Long nodded, "I'm very honest now!"

"That's good... go back and attack Haizhong City, bring them back, and let them make atonement for their sins."

"As you command!"

Ning Chen waved his hand.

Yuan Long and others retreated.

Ning Chen carried the little tiger that was rubbing against his feet to the table and fed it some mare's milk.

This little guy has a big appetite and eats several meals a day.

This little tiger should be less than two months old. When it gets older, it can add meat.

Ning Chen pushed it away, and the cerebellar tiger whined. It was still unsteady on its limbs and ran over, holding Ning Chen's arm and nibbling gently.

"In my last life, you were a beast sitting in prison, how could I dare to raise it? I have to buy a ticket just to look at you."

"I have to give you a name." Ning Chen thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "How about I call you Xiao Feng, because you are as fierce as Lao Feng."

"Forget it, if Feng Dazong knows about this, he will have to hurry with me."

Ning Chen thought about it for a while, then smiled and said: "When the roar comes, the mountains and beasts are startled, and the vast sky is alone and the moon is hazy... From now on, you will be called Dubu, and follow me to walk alone in the world."

"Ooooooooo...!"

The little tiger seemed quite satisfied with the name and responded.
