Chapter 428 Tiger Roars in the Forest
Niu Niu carefully put away the half piece of tiger talisman and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Emperor, if we can't run away, can I just throw this thing in the forest?"
The emperor was about to think about how this would work, but then he thought about it. Rather than falling into the hands of thieves, he hoped that the half of the tiger talisman would stay deep in the dense forest.
"Okay." The emperor said.
Niu Niu casually threw half of the tiger talisman into the tree hole behind her, kicked it again, and buried it with sand, but there was no trace at all.
The emperor looked at the little girl's smooth movements, which were so skillful that they seemed to have been done many times: "What if you can run back to the capital? The purpose of these thieves is me. If there is a chance, you will run away secretly." ""
Niu Niu said: "My legs are so short, how far can I run?"
The emperor was unable to refute for a moment and could only say: "My dear, it's me who has dragged you down after all."
Niu Niu didn't understand the principle of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, so she just said: "Uncle Emperor, I asked you to come to the paddock. If anything happens, it's me who asked for it. I can't blame you."
The little girl told the truth, she felt that the emperor could not be blamed for this.
The emperor didn't chat with the little girl all the time. He knew martial arts and helped the guards.
But the emperor's side only had four combatants, and there were ten masked men, all of whom were skilled in martial arts. It didn't take long for the guards to fall into a disadvantage.
"Swear to defend your majesty to the death!" the captain of the guard shouted.
He acted so brave and unafraid of death, but it didn't help. Instead, he got more and more scars on his body.
Niu Niu's eyes were sore. She had only been with the captain of the guard for two days, but he was a cheerful man who would make small animals out of weeds to make her happy. Now the captain of the guard was like a bloody man, but he still stood in their way. Go forward and never take a step back.
"I...I...don't want to..." Niu Niu's nose was red, and her tears were like broken beads.
She felt that she could not watch so many people die in front of her. After a brief struggle, she decided to put her parents' instructions behind her and make a wish in her heart.
"I want everyone to be safe." Niu Niu muttered silently in her heart.
A long roar suddenly resounded through the entire mountain forest.
"Big bug!" someone said.
A figure as tall as a hill appeared not far away.
Although everyone hasn't seen the other party's true appearance clearly, the suffocating pressure made everyone couldn't help but breathe lightly.
After a while, a striking white-fronted tiger walked through the leaves in the forest, revealing its true appearance.
"How can a giant insect grow so big!" someone shouted.
Everyone has seen ordinary tigers, but this tiger was nearly twice as big. Every step he took made the whole mountain and forest tremble.
No one expected that such a big guy was hiding deep in the royal enclosure.
You know, every time the emperor goes hunting, he will check for hidden dangers in advance. How come such a big tiger is not checked out?
The captain of the guard smelled the strong smell of blood around him. Wild beasts are most susceptible to the influence of blood. He was injured a lot. He was afraid that the other party would not let him go. He couldn't help but feel despair in his heart.
The tiger suddenly started to move, and with the sound of whistling wind, he arrived in front of everyone in a few steps.
When such a behemoth approached, the masked man was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a step back.
What everyone didn't expect was that after a few jumps, the tiger pounced directly on him.
But contrary to expectations, this eye-catching tiger did not pounce on the three bloody guards, but attacked the masked assassin.
The assassins were now filled with doubts.
"What's going on with this big bug? Instead of attacking the wounded, it's coming for us instead?"
"Does the King of Beasts not eat the weak?"
The messy thoughts in the assassins' minds didn't last long. In fact, this tiger was different.
Although an ordinary tiger has a strong body, it does not bring such terrifying suppressive power.
As if the tiger knew exactly who the target was, it raised its paws and grabbed at the masked assassins. It was not in a hurry to eat people, but instead used its paws one after another, scratching or biting, to kill several masked assassins. Seriously injured.
The masked assassins wanted to fight back, but the sharp weapons they held fell on the tiger, leaving no traces and unable to cut the opponent's fur at all.
Gradually, the assassins decided to give up.
The assassin leader rolled his eyes and said: "Back off first, the big insects will eat them!"
A group of people fought and retreated. After staying away from the battlefield, they did not leave immediately, but wanted to see how the tiger eats people.
But the tiger didn't agree at all and chased after him again.
The assassins left, and the tiger also left. Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Niu Niu immediately ran to the captain of the guard and asked: "Uncle, how are you?"
The captain of the guard was the most seriously injured, and his breathing had become weak at this time, but he still had not forgotten his duty: "Escort... escort His Majesty and Niu Niu back to the palace... don't worry about me!"
He asked everyone to leave him here.
Everyone was shaking their heads vigorously.
Niu Niu cried and said, "Let's go back together. There is a doctor in the palace who can definitely save you!"
The captain of the guard looked at Niu Niu gently and shook his head.
"Leave me alone...I'll just take a nap...and I'll be fine..."
When a person is about to die, countless scenes will flash before his eyes. The captain of the guard saw his father who died young, his sick mother, and his younger brothers and sisters.
He thought that he died to protect His Majesty, and His Majesty would definitely treat his family well. The only thing he felt sorry for was his wife who had not yet married. They were supposed to get married in the spring of next year...
"I beg Your Majesty to let me and others escort Your Majesty back home!" The other two guards knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes.
The chief guard had been rushing to the front. The injuries of the two guards were not particularly serious, and they still had the strength to fight.
Their horses had already run into the forest when the tiger appeared, and they had long disappeared. Now no one knew when the masked assassins would return, so they had to hurry up and leave this troubled place.
The emperor looked at the chief guard deeply. Even if he didn't want to, he still had to make a sacrifice.
"I will grant you the title of Earl of Yongyi, and I will also arrange for your brothers and sisters." The emperor promised solemnly.
The chief guard's eyelids, which were about to close, suddenly bloomed with brilliance. If he hadn't really had no strength, he would have wanted to stand up and thank him.
But as soon as everyone turned around, they saw a horrifying scene.
The tiger had turned back at some point, and in a few jumps, it was already blocking everyone's way.
The tiger's mouth and claws were all bloody, which made people very suspicious of the fate of the masked assassins.
"My life is over!" A guard whispered.
The tiger did not come forward to eat people, and the others did not dare to move for a while. Two guards stood in front of the emperor and Niu Niu.
But to everyone's surprise, Niu Niu suddenly squeezed out from a safe position and walked towards the tiger.
"Good boy, come back!" The emperor looked at this scene and was immediately anxious.
