Chapter 50 Tiger
Chapter 50 Tiger
After returning to his residence, Nangong Xihe could not forget the "Yin Shiliu". The stunning glimpse he had today kept appearing in his mind from time to time: under the black mask, her skin was as white as snow, and her red lips looked like flames, which was truly unique and tempting.
Especially her voice, which was tender, crisp and extremely pleasant to the ear. One could tell at once that she was still young, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old.
How could one not be attracted to such a delicate and young beauty, who also had such high martial arts skills?
Or, could he ask Xie Changan for the person?
Having a graceful female guard by his side seems to be a good idea, and he will definitely pamper her.
Xie Changan didn't know that Nangong Xihe had set his sights on Jiang Li. At this moment, he was interrogating the Japanese assassin.
Before the emperor arrived, the Eastern Depot and the Imperial Guards had plowed the hunting grounds three feet deep to ensure that no danger would be missed. Unexpectedly, such a big mistake would happen on the first day of hunting!
Japan is a small overseas country, and one of their warriors is called "Ninja".
Ninjas are good at lurking. They can stay in one place without moving and go without food or water for three days and three nights. They are often hired for assassinations in the martial arts world.
Xie Changan led the East Factory secret guards to set up the net three days in advance and conducted a plowing-like exploration of every corner of the hunting ground. He was sure that no fish would slip through the net.
Jiang Li and Xiaoying "patrol the mountains" every day, and with her keen sense, it is impossible for her not to discover these lurking ninjas.
Therefore, the only possibility is that the Imperial Guards were bribed and secretly opened a hole to let these ninjas in!
The only ones who can mobilize the Imperial Guards are those high and mighty people. The ninja's target is the King of Qi, so the person with the greatest suspicion is naturally the King of Qin!
Xie Changan certainly couldn't report to the emperor in this way, so he was trying to pry open the ninja's mouth.
When the other ninjas who escaped found that they could not escape the East Factory's tight net, they committed suicide on the spot, leaving only the one caught by Jiang Li alive.
The emperor was furious when he heard the news, and ordered the Jinyiwei and the Eastern Depot to investigate the case strictly. He also detained several generals of the imperial guards and awaited their punishment.
The hunt continued, and despite strict precautions, something unexpected happened again on the third day.
A tiger with bloodshot eyes broke into the enclosure and pounced towards the King of Qin with a clear target!
When the imperial guards were setting up the siege, they deliberately avoided the territories of tigers, black bears and other ferocious beasts in order to avoid accidents. No one expected that a tiger would appear in the hunting grounds!
Moreover, the tiger's eyes were bloodshot and it looked crazy, obviously it had been drugged!
On this day, Nangong Taihe was leading his guards to encircle and suppress a group of wolves.
All he heard was a guard shouting in horror: "Tiger!"
A ferocious tiger, with a bloody smell, was pouncing towards Nangong Taihe!
Nangong Taihe was shocked and pulled the reins hard, trying to turn the horse around and escape.
His mount was so frightened that its legs went limp and it threw him to the ground!
"Your Highness!"
The guards fought desperately to protect him, but the tiger bit off the necks of two guards one by one and then pounced on Nangong Taihe.
At this critical moment, a sharp flash of a knife came from the sky and blocked the tiger's attack.
Xie Changan came from the air, with a sharp sword, and attacked the tiger again.
The surviving guards hurriedly protected Nangong Taihe and retreated, but who would have thought that the tiger was extremely ferocious and, despite being stabbed several times, it still pounced on Nangong Taihe again!
Nangong Taihe was shocked: My life is over!
In the blink of an eye, a man rushed out from the side, holding a jar of wine and threw it at him.
Nangong Taihe was splashed with alcohol, and the strong smell of alcohol made him unable to open his eyes.
The tiger suddenly stopped, looking confused, as if it had suddenly lost its target.
"Dr. Shen?" the guard exclaimed in surprise.
The person who came was Shen Muchun. He was extremely bored and didn't want to go hunting, so he found a quiet place to drink.
Just then, he saw the tiger's eyes were bloodshot and he was chasing Nangong Taihe relentlessly. Knowing that there was something wrong with him, he poured all the liquor on Nangong Taihe, and the tiger really stopped its attack.
Xie Changan was as fast as lightning, and with the sharp blade carrying boundless murderous intent, he attacked the tiger.
"Brother Shen, you go ahead and protect His Highness. I'll lead this tiger away!"
It's not that he can't kill the tiger here, but there are many nobles in the hunting ground, and the tiger is out of control. If it suddenly attacks and hurts the prince or noble, it will be troublesome.
Therefore, he first had to lure the tiger to a remote place.
The tiger felt pain and immediately changed its target and pounced on Xie Changan.
Xie Changan's movements were erratic, like a ghost. He led the tiger to fight and retreat, while sending out signals to summon the secret guards.
He summoned Xiaoying through the contract in his mind again: "Chengfeng, call your sister over!"
The little eagle replied: "Okay master, sister will be here soon!"
The tiger chased him relentlessly and soon came to the edge of a canyon.
Xie Changan calmly observed the surrounding terrain and was thinking about how to escape when the tiger roared and pounced on him. The man and the tiger immediately fell into the canyon!
"Boss!"
The secret guards who arrived upon hearing the news shouted anxiously.
At this critical moment, a petite black shadow rushed over like a meteor and dived down the canyon.
"sixteen!"
The secret guards cried out again.
Jiang Li pounced down from the air, rode on the tiger's back, pulled out the soft sword from his waist, and threw it at Xie Changan with the scabbard: "Sir!"
Xie Changan caught one end of the soft sword, and with the help of Jiang Li's force, he flew up, landed steadily behind Jiang Li, and hugged her slender waist.
The tiger was ridden on the backs of the two men and fell heavily into the valley. It was so dizzy that it could not get up again.
Xie Changan hugged Jiang Li, and at the moment the tiger fell to the ground, he jumped up from the tiger's back, reducing the momentum of falling and landing steadily.
He scolded in a low voice, still in shock: "Why did you jump down with me?"
God knows when he was in mid-air, he saw Jiang Li jumping down recklessly and was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating!
If it were just him, he would be sure to save his life, or at most be injured.
This girl actually jumped down without caring, maybe both of them will be finished!
Jiang Li pouted: "Sir, is this how you treat your savior?"
In her panic, she forgot that she was a mortal and reflexively jumped onto the tiger's back.
But, after all, she saved him, and he actually thought she was in the way!
She risked her life to jump down and save him, how could Xie Changan not be moved?
His heart was completely softened, and he said in a hoarse voice: "How do you want me to repay you? In return for my love?"
Jiang Li blushed and found that she was still around his neck. She quickly let go and broke free from his embrace. She lowered her head and said, "I'll owe it to you first. I'll talk to you when I think of it."
Xie Changan felt a little disappointed. He asked uncomfortably, "What are you going to do with this tiger? Kill it?"
The tiger on the ground suddenly opened its eyes, with a fierce look in its eyes.
Just as Xie Changan was about to take action, he heard shouting from above.
"Boss——"
"sixteen--"
Xie Changan raised his voice and said, "We are fine."
The secret guards above suddenly cheered.
"I'm glad you're okay, sir."
"Little Sixteen is so brave!"
Xie Changan looked at the surrounding terrain. The canyon was quite deep and there seemed to be no way to go up.
He shouted, "Go find a longer rope."
"Yes!" The secret guards took the order and left.
