When the two guards of the eldest prince found their master, settled him in a safe place, and rushed over following the sound, they found the petite and weak Master Yu standing with a dagger in his hand. Beside the dead tiger's body, he hesitated how to peel off the tiger's skin completely!
The two guards stared wide-eyed, and their eyeballs almost fell to the ground. Yu Xiaocao smiled mischievously, and said, "Don't get me wrong, the tiger was killed by Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. I just saw that it didn't have much meat, so I wanted to peel off the skin and take it back."
What happened, the two guards had already listened to the first prince's general introduction. A little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old was able to bravely lure away the tiger for the eldest prince, and was able to be safe and sound under its pursuit, and calmly held a dagger to dissect the tiger's carcass, it was already amazing! To change to another little girl, she screamed and fainted early, unable to help with anything, and dragged her feet.
Originally, Xiaocao felt that no matter how thin the tiger was, she couldn't carry it, so she chose to peel off the tiger's skin and take it away. Now that she has two free laborers, they can carry it if they want! Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, who had been guarding Xiaocao all the time, jumped into the jungle when they saw that their master was protected. The prey they hunted are still thrown in the local area and have not been transported back.
"Wuuuuuuuuuu, I never thought I'd see you again..." This brat, what did you say? Can you see that she shouldn't be surprised and excited? Weeping, as if he didn't want to see himself.
When he saw the tiger carcass carried by the guards, the boy's face turned bright immediately, and he jumped around the tiger carcass excitedly: "Master Yu, did you kill the tiger? You are so amazing! Wu Song is still amazing!!"
Child paper, you think too much, didn't you see that the neck of the corpse was bitten by an animal? She silently pointed to the wound for him to see. The brat thought he had discovered something great, and continued to scream in an excited tone:
"It was killed by Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai? My God! Master Yu, your hounds are so brave, even tigers are no match for them! Ning San also said that he is the most powerful dog trainer, bragging Right? You are the most powerful one!! Where are Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai? They won't get hurt, right?"
"They continue to hunt! Your Highness, I don't know if it's safe here, why don't we go back first?" Yu Xiaocao was worried. If the person who released the hungry tiger was still hiding, they only had two guards on their side. , it is difficult to get out of the body.
Fortunately, the eldest prince is not ignorant of the importance, so he nodded and echoed: "That's good! I'll let the emperor check later, how could there be a tiger that slipped through the net here. Our harvest today is quite rich, and not everyone can hunt tigers." of!!"
They returned to the place where the horses were tied, where the two maidservants were already waiting. Chunhua saw Xiaocao's disheveled face and a scratch on his face, his expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master, what happened—you met a tiger?"
Qiu Shi also frowned, and said in doubt: "Didn't it mean that here and the surrounding areas are all small prey? How could there be a tiger?" The two guards also had the same doubts.
Yu Xiaocao waved at them and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm fine!! Go back first and see what the emperor has to say!!"
Now that Zhu Hanwen had calmed down completely, Baozi said with a sneer on his face, "Yes! Not only are there fierce tigers infesting here, but they also 'coincidentally' appeared behind Ben Gong. If it wasn't for Mrs. Yu, Ben Gong would have been gnawed a long time ago. There are no bones left!!"
Born in the royal family, childhood is not allowed. Only by forcing yourself to grow up can you not be lost in the torrent of seizing the heir. Zhu Hanwen was already considered lucky. He was born in the royal palace, he was the emperor's first child, and he was also the only prince in the palace. No one competed with him for power. However, at a young age, he has already noticed that something is wrong, and it should be aimed at him.
As it was related to the royal family, Yu Xiaocao had no room to comment, but silently rode behind the eldest prince and headed towards the camp.
The first prince's pony took the lead, and the emperor and his wife, who were wandering outside the camp, saw the prince approaching from a distance, and their slightly raised hearts were finally relieved. Zhu Junyang, who was guarding outside the tent, saw the familiar figure, and the lines on his face softened a lot.
Suddenly, facing the figure in the distance, he frowned, with a serious expression on his face, and asked the emperor for instructions: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, Master Yu seems to be injured! Please go and check..."
"Go, go!" Zhu Junfan didn't believe his nonsense. After half a day, he couldn't sit still, and he didn't know how to find a reasonable excuse. With guards and masters protecting her, can that girl Yu Xiaocao be injured
After Zhu Junyang received the order, he got on his horse and quickly approached several horsemen in the distance. When he saw clearly the tiger carcass behind the guard's horse, the seriousness in his eyes became more obvious.
"His Royal Highness, are you alright... Xiaocao, are you hurt?!" When he greeted the First Prince, the corner of his eyes swept across Yu Xiaocao's messy hair, and fixed on the eye-catching scratches on her fair and tender face. , almost couldn't help but ran away.
what happened? Everyone was safe and sound, except for his little girl, disheveled, with disheveled hair, and a wound on her face. Look at the wound on the tiger carcass again, do you need an explanation? If it weren't for the two wolves raised by the little girl, she... Zhu Junyang couldn't imagine what the consequences would be! !
"How did you protect the master?!" Zhu Junyang took his anger out on the two maidservants, and spent so much effort to dig them out from the hidden guards. Could it be that they were made to be the young ladies? The master was injured, but they were safe and sound! ! This is an unforgivable crime in the dark guard...
Chunhua and Qiushi knelt down shyly under the eyes of their old masters who seemed to burn them into ashes. The safety of the master is more important than their lives. If the protection of the master is not effective, even if you don't die in the execution hall of the hidden guards, you will have to peel off your skin. These two female guards, who were only twenty-eight years old, didn't even dare to intercede, they just waited desperately for the punishment to come.
"Zhu Junyang, what are you scaring them for? My face was just scratched by a branch, and only a layer of skin was torn off. I don't even need any medicine!!" Yu Xiaocao said to Zhu Junyang express disapproval. These two girls have already been given to her, and her master hasn't said anything yet. Is it really okay for you, an irrelevant person, to do it for you
Facing her little anger, Zhu Junyang immediately suppressed the anger in his heart, held her little face distressedly, looked at the wound on it, and asked softly: "Are you sure it was just scratched by a branch, not caught by a tiger?" ?”
Yu Xiaocao pretended not to care, and said: "With Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai here, another tiger can't hurt this girl! I was a little flustered when I first saw a tiger, and I didn't pay attention when I turned around. A thorny branch next to it just swept away."
However, Zhu Junyang discovered the weakness behind her pretending to be strong, and gently pulled her into his arms, feeling her body trembling slightly, busy soothing the little girl's emotions, his voice became more gentle: "Don't be afraid! The master is here! We Xiaocao are so powerful, we can subdue the furious me, what is a mere tiger?"
The moment she was pulled into her arms, Yu Xiaocao burst into tears like rain, but after hearing what Zhu Junyang said, she burst out laughing. Thinking back to when he was in a rage in the Wu family, he was almost comparable to disasters like earthquakes and tornadoes, and his power was dozens of times stronger than that of a tiger. At that time, facing Zhu Junyang who had lost his mind and didn't recognize her, she was not afraid at all. Maybe she subconsciously thought that he would never be able to hurt her
Sniffing, Yu Xiaocao said in a coquettish nasal voice: "When the tiger rushed towards me, I was so scared! I was afraid that if I couldn't come back, what would you do? I was still thinking, can Mr. Su restrain himself?" I'm staying with you!"
"In this world, the only person who can restrain you is you. Therefore, you must not have anything to do, otherwise, I will accompany you into hell..."
Zhu Junyang hugged the slender body in his arms even tighter, and pressed a kiss on the top of her head with his lips. While he was afraid, a faint sweetness surged up at the same time - when the little girl was in the most danger, all she could think about was It's him. Zhu Junyang suddenly understood the true meaning of the word "happiness".
"What happened later?" Zhu Junyang asked softly.
Yu Xiaocao hugged him back, this hug made her feel very warm and safe, like a sailboat that has experienced wind and rain and returned to a calm harbor. Heart, with a sense of belonging.
"Later? What later??" Yu Xiaocao's voice came from his arms, muffled, but he cherished it very much.
"You said the tiger rushed towards you, what happened next?" Zhu Junyang patted her on the back lightly, his movements were extremely gentle, as if she was holding a fragile and precious baby in her arms.
Yu Xiaocao blinked her big eyes a few times at an angle that he couldn't see. Anyone who knew her well knew that what she said next must be dishonest. Sure enough, she concealed the credit of Xiaobutianshi, and pushed Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai out: "Later... Of course Xiao Bai arrived in time, bravely appeared in front of me, stopped the tiger that was pounced on, and followed me The tigers fought together. Later, Xiao Hei also arrived. If I hadn’t wanted the tiger’s skin, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai would have teamed up and tore the tiger to pieces!!”
Zhu Hanwen quietly listened to Xiaocao's story about the two little tigers fighting, and looked into Xiaoheixiaobai's eyes, filled with the word "admiration". Admire their bravery and their loyal guardians. Today, if it wasn't for them, although he escaped by chance, he would have sacrificed Lord Yu, and the loss would not be considered insignificant. Father's plan to make the country rich will be stranded, and he will have to bear the guilt for the Yu family in his life, and he will also bear the possibility of losing the general of Yang Junwang...
"Master Yu, you are my lifesaver! Don't say thank you for your kindness, I will always remember it in my heart!" Zhu Hanwen's immature face was full of seriousness, and his eyes were full of gratitude.
