Before you knew it, the tiger had reached the wall.
There was no way to retreat, either forward or backward.
Ahead lay a tall, insurmountable wall.
Behind them, a hail of arrows...
The tiger raised its head and let out another roar.
The wolves, leopards, and some small animals that had been surrounded were frightened and ran back...
Po Yue reached into her bosom.
Yuan Yao looked up with a troubled expression: "Are you going to kill this tiger with a melon seed?"
Po Yue froze: "Do you think I have that much ability?"
Yuan Yao: "?"
Wow, Po Yue is amazing!
They've even started using rhetorical questions?
Po Yue took out three darts and held them between his fingertips.
The dart was sharp and pointed, gleaming with a cold light.
Yuan Yao ordered, "Get started now!"
The people over there have already gathered around.
Po Yue gathered her strength and threw the dart.
"roar……"
The tiger's mournful and painful roar shook the heavens.
As the tiger struggled, it crashed into a tree that would take two people to encircle.
In an instant, the tree shook violently, scattering its withered branches and leaves.
Yuan Yao clung tightly to the tattered hem of her dress.
This tiger was so big that its roar seemed to make the walls tremble.
Fortunately, the tiger struggled for a while, then its roars turned into howls, and gradually it fell silent...
Just then, the voices of the students came from the woods: "What happened?"
Where's the tiger?
Someone warned, "Bows and arrows, prepare!"
Here they come again, shooting arrows randomly!
Yuan Yao shuddered and shouted in her sweet, childish voice, "Stop it, all of you!"
The woods fell silent for a few seconds.
After a while, someone spoke up: "Who's there?"
Po Yue, holding Yuan Yao, said coldly, "Princess Yuan Yao is here at Qianhua Palace."
"Qianhua Palace?"
The people in the woods immediately lowered their arrows and moved closer to the wall.
When they were 20 meters away from the wall, everyone looked up.
The young princess of the Ninth Prince's household was being held by guards and standing on the high wall...
Perhaps it was because she was standing high up, looking down at people, that the usually cute and adorable little princess exuded an air of majesty...
The boys bowed in unison, saying, "Greetings, Princess."
Yuan Yao glanced at the group of teenagers.
There were about a dozen people, all roughly between thirteen and twenty years old, full of youthful energy.
Each person held a bow in their hand and carried arrows on their back.
A tall, handsome young man dressed in a dark blue brocade robe bowed and said, "Zheng Yihe, son of the Minister of Justice, greets the Princess."
The son of the Minister of Justice?
Yuan Yao was stunned.
The Minister of Justice had dark skin and always had a sullen face...
Zheng Yihe, on the other hand, was a slender and fair-skinned young man with a good temperament.
This father and son are completely unlike each other!
Yuan Yao looked at Zheng Yihe: "No need for formalities."
Zheng Yihe then asked, "May I ask, Princess, what exactly is going on with this tiger?"
His hand pointed to the distance.
Everyone else turned to look.
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "This tiger is dead?"
Others chimed in, "Yes! We've only warmed up; we haven't even started yet!"
Yuan Yao: "?"
Just finished warming up?
No official action has been taken yet?
Seriously??
Who fired those random arrows just now?
Sure enough, people who like to boast and save face are never in short supply...
At this moment, someone mustered up the courage to approach and said, "Let's take a look first."
The boy in the dark blue robe warned, "Be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a boy in a green robe walked up to the tiger.
The boy picked up his bow, poked the tiger's belly, and then turned his head in surprise: "This tiger is really dead!"
Before he could finish speaking, the green-robed youth shouted, "Zhao Xi! Watch out!"
Suddenly, the tiger, which should have been lifeless, raised its head, opened its mouth wide, and lunged at the green-robed youth.
Zhao Xi, still smiling, turned to look behind her.
A gaping, blood-red maw was lunging at him...
The other boys shouted, "Zhao Xi! Run!"
Are we just standing there, waiting to die?
Yuan Yao sighed: "Broken Moon, save people."
Staring at the tiger's mouth so close at hand, Zhao Xi was dumbfounded.
At that moment, he felt a pain in his knee and fell into the grass beside him, rolling twice.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of silver light appeared.
"Bang!"
The massive tiger crashed to the ground, scattering fallen leaves and twigs...
The tiger was completely dead.
All the boys' backs were completely soaked.
Some people even collapsed to the ground, their legs giving way.
Just now, Zhao Xi's head was almost in the tiger's mouth...
That's terrifying!
Zheng Yihe, his palms soaked with sweat, helped Zhao Xi up.
Zhao Xi's legs went weak and her face turned pale.
At this moment, two more teenagers came up and helped Zhao Xi up.
Zheng Yihe took a deep breath, looked up at the high wall, and cupped his hands to Yuan Yao: "Thank you for saving me, Princess."
Yuan Yao was utterly helpless with these elementary school kids.
Zheng Yihe was the only one who fared slightly better.
Her soft, childlike voice said indifferently, "If you want to thank someone, thank my guards."
After all, it was Po Yue who saved the person.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yihe cupped his hands and looked at Po Yue, saying, "Thank you."
Zhao Xi's legs went weak, and she weakly said, "Thank you..."
Perhaps because he was so frightened, Zhao Xi not only became unsteady on his feet, but he also couldn't speak properly.
Yuan Yao pursed her lips: "Send Young Master Zhao back and let the imperial physician examine him."
Don't scare yourself sick.
As they were talking, a cry for help came from below the high wall: "Help!"
It's Acha.
Acha is still soaking in the drainage ditch!
Yuan Yao turned her head and looked outside the wall.
There he was, covered in mud, his hair and face were completely muddy...
Acha wiped the mud off his face, raised his hand, and waved it vigorously at her: "Little Yao'er! Come and save me!"
Yuan Yao looked up at the sky, powerless.
She said to Poyue, "Let's go save Acha."
After saying that, she asked Poyue to carry her down the high wall first.
At this moment, a skinny-looking boy stepped forward: "Princess Yuan Yao, let's take this tiger away first!"
She looked at the boy in surprise: "What did you say?"
The skinny boy said matter-of-factly, "We were the ones who spotted this tiger first, and we're the ones who rushed over here."
Therefore, this tiger should belong to us!
"The princess is just a child; she has no use for this tiger."
Yuan Yao: "???"
What kind of idiotic statement is this?
Whoever takes a liking to it gets to own it.
Well, this tiger was killed by her family's Poyue!
At this moment, looking at the tiny Yuan Yao, another slightly chubby boy spoke up: "Little Princess, you can't take advantage of your father being the Ninth Prince to snatch the tiger from us."
This tiger was originally ours!
What are you doing, a girl, causing trouble in the hunting grounds?
Yuan Yao: "?"
Girl?
make trouble?
She was so angry she laughed.
Hunting, and you're still discriminating against people of color?
What's wrong with the girl?
Did the girl eat his family's rice?
Based on their attitude alone, Yuan Yao felt that they couldn't give up the tiger to them!
