Chapter 265: Give You a More Powerful Mount
But, what can we do about it?
She had never intended to compete with Princess Dongji for the position of Prince Changle's wife.
She just wanted to stay with Prince Changle, even if she was just an unknown bed-warmer.
Yuan Gu glared at Deng Youning's back.
He gnashed his teeth hard, suppressing the jealousy and hatred he felt towards Li Tianzhuo.
The person who should have such a deep relationship with Senior Sister should be him!
It's obvious that they have known each other since childhood!
If I had not left my senior sister and had stayed by her side after she killed the Lord of the Ten Thousand Snake Valley, would I be the person she loves now?
But it doesn’t matter. After he kills Li Tianzhuo and seizes the throne of Nanxin, he will find a way to make his senior sister fall in love with him.
"Father, has our people sent any news?"
Yuan Gu asked Lord Yuan beside him in a low voice.
Just now, when he learned that Li Tianzhuo was still in the forest and had not come out, he had already sent a message to the Xilei people who were ambushing in the forest, asking them to take action to get rid of King Changle.
Half an hour has passed.
Whether King Changle is alive or dead, the people from Xilei have not yet sent the news.
Lord Yuan shook his head calmly, also feeling the same confusion.
Logically speaking, even if they failed, the whole army wouldn't be wiped out, right?
He is just a useless prince with no inner strength.
Suddenly, Yuan Gu’s eyes widened.
“Oh no!”
"Could it be a tiger?"
Yuan Gu seemed to suddenly understand something. Could it be that even tigers would help King Changle?
The people of Xilei must have waited until the tiger left before taking action, so if the tiger really came to join the battle, it must have been lured by King Changle.
But how could Li Tianzhuo and a tiger alone defeat his nearly a hundred soldiers from the Western Frontier?
Could it be that Li Tianzhuo had anticipated this and set an ambush in advance?
“Damn it!”
He didn't understand how King Changle was so capable that he could even use tigers for his own use.
"Father, how is the Blood Moon Cult elder's medicine going?"
Yuan Gu felt that it was a miscalculation to let the people from Xilei deal with them this time, and he could only slowly make plans from other aspects.
When Si Wang rebelled before, the leader of the Blood Moon Cult was killed by Deng Youning, and the Blood Moon Cult was wiped out by Li Tianzhuo a few days later.
However, at that time, an elder from the sect who was skilled in witchcraft escaped.
At present, Yuan Gu is combining the poison-making method he learned in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley with the witchcraft of the Blood Moon Cult elders, hoping to create a poison that can tamper with human memory.
Yuan Gu was busy with other things outside, so the matter of making the poison was always left to Lord Yuan.
"Gu'er, there are some things that you can't be impatient about."
"There is one more thing that your father must explain to you. Those who want to accomplish great things must avoid having children have romantic relationships. Are you taking the Princess of Dongji too seriously?"
Lord Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, carrying a warning, as if he could see through Yuan Gu at a glance.
Yuan Gu stopped talking, gritting his teeth, somewhat unwilling to accept it.
If it wasn't for his senior sister, why would he go to so much trouble to get the throne of Nanxin?
But he didn't dare say these words in front of his father.
He didn't want anyone, including his father, to know that Deng Youning was his weak spot!

Deng Youning rode back to the forest at full speed.
Walking along the path she came out of, she found that the low bushes around her seemed to have changed a little.
It was very lush just now, but now some places have become bald, as if it had been eaten by a wild boar.
The surrounding fog was still filled with a strong smell of blood.
Mixed with the smell of miasma in the forest, it is really a headache.
Deng Youning almost held her breath the entire way.
The further he walked, the more Deng Youning heard the sounds of fighting and heavy breathing.
She was startled and abandoned her horse and flew away.
At this time, the area around Li Tianzhuo was already in a mess. He was squatting beside the dying tiger, holding a knife in one hand and a tiger cub in the other.
In front of them were countless Suzaku soldiers disguised as bandits, fighting against black-clad men of unknown origin.
Fortunately, they had originally planned to send these Suzaku soldiers disguised as bandits to capture Deng Xuelian and King Yi.
Li Tianzhuo had them ambush in the forest in advance so that he could set fire to them at the critical moment to call them out to save their lives.
There were countless corpses lying all around, and both the Suzaku Army and the men in black had suffered casualties.
Among the bodies of the men in black, some were killed by the Suzaku Army, and had obvious marks of sword wounds on their bodies.
Some had dark purple lips and pale faces, as if they had been poisoned.
Others were killed by being scratched by the tiger's claws or bitten by its fangs.
Li Tianzhuo had a lot of various poison powders on him that Deng Youning had given him for self-defense. There were hundreds of men in black on the opposite side, and his Suzaku soldiers were not enough.
If it weren't for the poison powder that helped him kill dozens of the enemy, he would have to die here today along with all the Suzaku soldiers disguised as bandits.
Unfortunately, the tiger was killed by the men in black.
There were long knives stuck in the tiger's belly and the back of its neck, and many parts of its body were wounded by sharp weapons. The tiger's skin was cracked, revealing the bloody flesh inside, and blood was flowing continuously.
He was already dying, but he was still struggling and unwilling to close his eyes.
And under it, a little tiger was already dead.
If those men in black had not killed the little tiger cub, Da Hu would not have gotten into this mess to kill people.
Instead, he was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread.
The other tiger cub was protected in Li Tianzhuo's arms and escaped danger.
It should be that Lao Hu entrusted his son to Li Tianzhuo before his death.
Li Tianzhuo reached out and touched the tiger's head, signaling the tiger to rest in peace.
When Deng Youning arrived, Dahu had just died.
"Azhuo——"
She called out to Li Tianzhuo loudly.
Even if Li Tianzhuo didn't explain anything to her, she could see the situation at the scene.
Li Tianzhuo stood up with a heavy expression, and when he looked at Deng Youning, tears were still flashing in his eyes.
He was also afraid that if it weren't for the help of Lao Hu and Deng Youning's poisonous fans, he would never be able to see her alive.
"Ning Ning——"
Li Tianzhuo rushed towards Deng Youning.
He put his arm around Deng Youning's shoulders with the hand that was not holding the tiger cub and pulled her into his arms.
The distance between the two was too close, squeezing the little tiger cub so much that he groaned.
"Ning Ning, this little tiger, shall we keep it as a pet from now on?"
"The Ferghana horse I gave you this morning died, so I will give you a more powerful mount tonight."
"When it grows up, you can take it out with you, and no one will fail to recognize you as the princess of the country."
Li Tianzhuo picked up the tiger and brought it in front of Deng Youning.
Looking at it this way, this little guy is much cuter than his dad.
If she could train them well and make them obey her orders, not only would she be very powerful, but no one would dare to provoke her.
"Okay, I'll accept this gift first."
"However, your Suzaku Army is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers when fighting against those men in black."
"I'll go and lend them a hand, you guys find a place to hide!" Deng Youning instructed while looking at Li Tianzhuo and the tiger cub in his arms.
Not to mention, Li Tianzhuo is also very cute when holding the little tiger.
Without waiting for Li Tianzhuo to respond, Deng Youning had already flown out with sword in hand.
She is not from Nanxin, otherwise, with her kung fu, she would definitely be ranked in the top three on the Nanxin list.
She moved as light as a bird and floated in front of the group of people.
Everyone only smelled a fierce murderous aura and subconsciously tried to resist, but they were all blown away several miles away by the sword energy.
Deng Youning reacted very quickly. He cut the necks of the few remaining people who were not blown away while spinning his sword in his hand.
