Chapter 1151: Su Laowu Rescue
"Didn't the Fifth Young Master say that he wouldn't go hunting today? Why is he going again?" Shi Liu asked in confusion.
Tang Bao: “…I want to know too.”
Because she was afraid that her fifth brother would worry, Tang Bao did not tell Su Laowu about her assassination attempt.
Su Laowu was a top scholar in literature, not a military commander, and he only participated in hunting out of interest.
What's more, after two days, the number of prey hunted by Prince Rong and Prince Xiao of Northern Qi was far ahead.
It will be difficult for others to overtake unless a miracle happens.
Su Laowu had no intention of competing for the ranking. After knowing that there were tigers and wolves in the forest, he was afraid that his sister and Princess Huaning would worry, so he said he would not go into the forest to hunt.
Unexpectedly, this morning, after seeing Princess Huaning and touching the little white fox held by Princess Linghua, he was inexplicably tempted to go into the forest to try his luck.
What if, by some chance, I could hunt a white fox?
Su Laowu didn't expect that he would actually meet a white fox.
But this white fox ran too fast.
So, in order to chase the white fox, Su Laowu unknowingly moved away from the periphery.
"Sir, we can't pursue them any further!" A guard rode his horse to stop Su Laowu and said sternly, "The princess has instructed us that there may be danger in the forest. Sir, please don't go too deep!"
After hearing what the guard said, Su Laowu calmed down.
I couldn't help but think of the tigers and wild wolves hunted by Prince Rong and others yesterday.
It's a bit abnormal to have so many large prey appearing in the royal hunting grounds.
"Let's go back!" Su Laowu pulled the reins and was about to go back.
"ah!"
“Ding-ding-dang-dang…”
Screams and the sounds of weapons clashing could be heard faintly from a distance.
Su Laowu's expression froze.
The two guards also looked nervous.
"roar!"
Suddenly, a tiger roar was heard.
“Flutter…”
Birds were startled and flew away in panic in the trees.
The horse that Su Laowu was riding was frightened, let out a long neigh, and rushed out with its hooves raised.
Su Laowu's body swayed and he almost fell off his horse.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and managed to steady himself.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!"
The two guards were startled and spurred their horses to chase after him.
Su Laowu bent down and held the horse's neck tightly to prevent himself from falling.
Yesterday, Zheng Ziqian, the son of Prime Minister Zheng, broke his leg and was taken away. He didn't want to follow in Zheng Ziqian's footsteps.
By the way, Su Laowu can hold a pen and carry a hoe, but his riding skills are only average.
There's really nothing we can do about this frightened horse.
I can only hope that the horse gets tired and stops on its own.
As the sounds of fighting became clearer and clearer, Su Laowu saw two groups of people fighting from afar.
The group of people were wearing black clothes and masks, and you didn't have to guess that they were not worthy of being seen.
The other group of people were dressed in uniform and well-trained. They were the Royal Guards.
After Su Laowu saw the Imperial Guards, he lay on the horse's back and took a glance, and saw the back of Emperor Tianxi who was guarded by the Imperial Guards.
The emperor was actually assassinated! Su Laowu was shocked.
Su Laowu's arrival naturally did not affect the fight between the two groups.
However, a huge white-browed tiger with hanging eyes suddenly jumped out from the opposite side of Su Laowu, which was a different story.
The imperial guards present were in a panic, shouting "Protect the Emperor" and trying to retreat to Emperor Tianxi.
However, the man in black was not affected by the tiger at all, and the fight became more fierce.
The tiger rushed straight towards Emperor Tianxi, and the imperial guards in front of him waved their swords to block it.
At this time, feather arrows shot towards Emperor Tianxi with the sound of breaking through the air.
With both tigers and feather arrows, the imperial guards around Emperor Tianxi could not hold on.
Seeing a feather arrow that was not shot down by the Royal Guards and went straight to Emperor Tianxi, Su Laowu's frightened horse rushed forward.
"emperor!"
Su Laowu shouted and pounced sideways from his horse in front of Emperor Tianxi.
At the same time, the dagger in his hand was stabbed into the horse's butt.
“Whoosh!”
"ah!"
Su Laowu cried out in pain as the arrow hit his arm.
"Bang!"
“Crack!”
"Pah!"
The tiger and the frightened horse collided with each other, and both of them fell to the ground with broken bones.
In particular, the majestic tiger was injured while leaping and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Naturally, the frightened horse also lay on the ground.
The two groups of people who were fighting were stunned for a moment by this sudden change.
There's no way. Who would have thought that a horse would be so brave as to charge into a tiger and fight to the death?
This simply goes against animal instinct!
Little did they know that the horse was already frightened, and with the sudden pain on its butt, it didn't care whether there was a tiger in front of it or not. It rushed forward instinctively, and then bumped into the leaping tiger.
As luck would have it, the horse's head and the tiger's head bumped into each other.
As a result, the tiger's skull was fractured and it lay on the ground unable to get up.
The same thing happened to the frightened horse, whose neck was nearly broken.
With a neigh, blood spurted out of the horse's mouth.
Su Laowu endured the pain, got up from the ground and saluted Emperor Tianxi.
"I am late in coming to your rescue, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Emperor Tianxi finally recovered and reached out to help Su Laowu. Still in shock, he said, "Lord Su, you have done a great service in saving me. What crime have you committed?"
After saying that, he helped Su Laowu up.
His eyes couldn't help but look at the king of beasts lying on the ground, holding on to his last breath, unwilling to swallow it.
It can be said that the tiger made a majestic appearance, but died before fulfilling its ambitions.
Just a roar and that was it.
Emperor Tianxi naturally also saw the dagger on the horse's butt on the ground.
He had seen this dagger before.
When barbecuing yesterday, he saw Su Laowu using this dagger to cut the lamb leg.
Emperor Tianxi thought for a moment and guessed that it was Su Laowu who stabbed it on purpose.
Therefore, I admire Su Laowu's bravery and wit very much.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the new top scholar of Dayan.
Both his literary talent and scheming are top-notch.
"My dear Lord Su, you are both wise and brave. You are truly a rare genius." Emperor Tianxi couldn't help but praise him.
Su Laowu had an arrow stuck in his arm, and the pain was so severe that he broke out in a cold sweat. After hearing what Emperor Tianxi said, his face was still pale, and he said modestly: "Your Majesty, I am too humble to praise you."
This is the future father-in-law he wants to curry favor with. How could Su Laowu dare to show off?
Emperor Tianxi and Su Laowu exchanged greetings while the fighting on the field began again.
“Ding-ding-dang-dang…”
"ah!"
“Ouch—”
Following the sound of a wolf howl, wild wolves leaped out of the woods.
Behind the wild wolves are cheetahs, wild boars, badgers, wild goats, and sika deer...
Su Laowu's expression suddenly changed.
These prey would definitely not appear here spontaneously!
Because this doesn't make sense!
Thinking back to the tiger just now, Su Laowu understood.
"Your Majesty, this place is dangerous. We must leave quickly!" Su Laowu stepped in front of Emperor Tianxi and said in a deep voice.
Emperor Tianxi was deeply moved when he saw Su Laowu, who had been injured in order to save him and was still willing to risk his life to protect him.
This is a great loyal minister!
