Question: How does it feel to have Emperor Wu of Han as your father and Chen Ajiao as your mother?
Liu Tan: Thank you for the invitation. I'm in the Han dynasty, just stepped out of a...
To Liu Che, the iron-eating beast has no other attributes except prey.
He was hesitating whether to take action or not, and the people over there who were still holding their prey suddenly gasped.
Huo Guang, Li Buyan and others couldn't help but almost rode forward to rescue their prince.
But Liu Tan seemed to be very happy, and he interacted frequently with the iron-eating beast next to him. The iron-eating beast was also amazing, and it actually allowed Liu Tan to rub and touch it, and even accepted Liu Tan's feeding.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, not daring to breathe for a moment, for fear of alarming the iron-eating beast. Although this iron-eating beast looked like a cub, who said that a juvenile iron-eating beast had no attack power?
Liu Tan had heard the sound of horse hooves a long time ago. He thought someone was passing by and was wondering, but when he turned around, he saw Liu Che and a group of people watching him pet the cat.
Liu Tan looked at everyone's horses and saw that almost everyone had prey on them. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He smiled at Liu Che, pinched the giant panda's ears, stood up and prepared to leave.
Anyway, the bamboo has been fed to the pandas. If they continue to run out of bamboo, the pandas may get angry.
He was also very bold. He turned around and walked towards Liu Che, brushing off the dust on his body while shouting, "Father!"
At that moment, Liu Che couldn't help but feel nervous. He immediately drew his bow and arrow, ready to shoot if he found any unusual movement of the iron-eating beast.
If not, then forget it. A rash attack might anger it instead.
When Liu Tan looked up, he saw Liu Che sitting on his horse, aiming his arrow very handsomely. He couldn't help but stand there for a moment, with a confused expression. Did Liu Che finally realize that he was not his biological son and wanted to kill him?
But according to Liu Che's character, even if he wanted to kill him, he would do it secretly. After all, family disgrace should not be made public. Think about it, Princess Danyang was taken away by special means, how could he shoot him in public?
No, it's not just Liu Che. Huo Guang, Li Buyan and others were also drawing their bows and arrows. They definitely didn't know the situation and didn't want to kill Liu Tan.
So... is it because of the giant panda behind me?
Liu Tan subconsciously looked back at the giant panda, but the giant panda had finished eating the bamboo and found that there was nothing more to eat, so it stood up and crawled towards Liu Tan.
In an instant, many people couldn't help but let out a low cry. The bowstring in Liu Che's hand was already taut, and the sharp arrow could be shot out at any time.
The giant panda cub did not seem to realize the danger and was still crawling towards Liu Tan. After it reached his legs, it stood up and then, in front of everyone's anxious eyes... hugged Liu Tan's calf.
Everyone: ...
This change was so sudden that Liu Che's hand shook and he almost shot the arrow. Fortunately, he controlled himself and released the force slowly, otherwise it would have been shot.
Although it would not hurt Liu Tan even if he shot it, after all, he was not aiming at this troublesome little bastard from the beginning to the end, but he has always been able to hit the target. If this arrow misses, where will his face be?
Liu Tan was stunned on the spot. He looked up at Liu Che and then looked down at the giant panda.
He lifted his legs and shook them, only to find that the giant panda's two paws were holding it very tightly, and it was impossible to take it down.
What's more, even if Liu Tan walked forward, it would not let go.
For a moment, Liu Tan wanted to ask if this giant panda had also traveled through time like him, otherwise how could it be so skilled? Could the leg-holding technique also be a traditional skill of giant pandas?
Liu Tan bent down and pulled the giant panda apart. Actually, he originally wanted to pick up the giant panda. After all, which flower grower hasn't dreamed of hugging and rubbing a giant panda cub?
But he underestimated the weight of the giant panda. Even if it hasn't grown up yet, it is still very heavy!
To be honest, Liu Tan didn't even try to pick the panda up. In order to cover up the matter, he simply pried the panda's two paws apart.
But as soon as he pried it apart with his front legs, he picked up the giant panda again with the next leg. His skill was so good that Liu Tan almost suspected that the panda had gone to a breeding base for further training.
Liu Che finally couldn't bear it any longer and said, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you go help the King of the Northern Territory?"
At this time, the people around them woke up from their dreams. To be honest, they were all scared just now.
They were surprised that the iron-eating beast took the initiative to show affection to their family, and they were even more surprised that Liu Tan was so rude to the iron-eating beast.
A group of people came up and pulled the panda off Liu Tan's legs. The panda waved its claws and made a delicate and soft cry: 嘤嘤嘤.
Liu Tanxin softened and said, "Hey, be gentle, don't hurt it!"
At this time, the little white horse was also led in front of him. As soon as Liu Tan climbed onto the horse, he heard a cry of surprise from behind him. He sat firmly and saw that the giant panda had broken free from everyone's pull and ran... no, it rolled in front of him.
Well, to be exact, it rolled in front of his horse.
In an instant, Liu Tan felt the little white horse trembling non-stop. While comforting the little white horse, he couldn't resist the temptation and said, "Give it to me."
The guards looked at each other, and two braver ones came up. They tremblingly hugged the giant panda and handed it to Liu Tan.
Liu Tan felt it was very heavy when he picked it up. Well, this baby is solid.
The giant panda finally stopped making noise in his arms. Liu Tan picked up a peach and gave it to it to eat, then rewarded the two guards with a silver pill each.
There was no way. Although Liu Tan felt that the giant panda was not very aggressive, the concept that the iron-eating beast was a ferocious beast was deeply rooted in people's minds in this era, and it was even more terrifying than a tiger, so he just risked his life to help.
Liu Tan rode his horse while holding the giant panda and walked towards his father. Wherever he went, people retreated, and the effect was comparable to clearing the area.
Liu Tan hesitated for a moment, then stopped and said cautiously to Liu Che, "Father, how about I take it back to Chang'an and settle it properly before coming back?"
Liu Che glanced at him with a half-smile and waved: "Come here."
Liu Tan immediately drove the little white horse over.
Liu Che took a look at the giant panda, stretched out his hand and opened its mouth. Everyone around was shocked: "Your Majesty... Be careful!"
Liu Tan was instantly filled with awe. Liu Che met his son's admiring gaze and said calmly, "He's still young and not fierce. If you like him, take him home to play."
Liu Tan was immediately delighted: "Thank you, Father."
The moment Liu Che agreed, Liu Tan had already decided which part of the palace should be designated as a habitat for giant pandas. Well, his palace wasn't finished yet, so he could study it while he was there...
Wait...the palace...his palace is in Shuofang!
Where does the bamboo come from in Shuofang?
Liu Tan, filled with worry, took the giant panda back to Jianzhang Palace in Shanglin Garden. Just as he was wondering whether the panda would die if he took it to the Western Regions, he didn't know that rumors about the King of the North being able to subdue the iron-eating beast had already begun to spread throughout the city.
