Chapter 133 Southwest Viper
Chapter 133 Southwest Viper
Killing a tiger is not difficult, but Gu Jiaorong is worried that this tiger is just an appetizer.
"Be careful in everything you do and don't be careless."
Gu Jiaorong looked at him and said eight words seriously.
Her tone was so serious that Pei Xu would not refute her.
"know."
Pei Xu responded seriously, and then relayed these words to his subordinates.
"Did you hear that? Be careful and don't fall into their trap. Since we've entered this forest together, we must get out alive together."
Even though these people are just his subordinates who are willing to sacrifice their lives for him, he will not ignore their lives.
"Yes."
Everyone responded in unison and drew their swords.
They all had a premonition that the tiger before them was just the beginning.
As they expected, the tiger appeared, but the noise in the distance did not stop.
"Let's get rid of this tiger first."
Pei Xu's face became colder and colder. It seemed that the prince was determined to kill him.
I'm afraid that most of the time these days has been spent on designing him when arranging the hunting ground, and who knows what else has not been released.
Thinking of this, Pei Xu did not let his servants take action, but instead told Fu'an to protect Gu Jiaorong, then jumped off his horse and rushed straight towards the tiger.
Although he had not been on the battlefield for a long time, he still had an extraordinary temperament when he held the sword and stood in front of the tiger.
Gu Jiaorong looked at Pei Xu with worry in her eyes.
In her understanding, the power gap between humans and wild beasts was enormous. Looking through historical texts, there were probably fewer than ten people who could kill a tiger. Looking at Pei Xu's tall figure, her nervous mind went blank, and she no longer had any extra thoughts to think about who that person was.
When Gu Jiaorong came to her senses, she saw Pei Xufei kicking the tiger from the side, and the kick landed on the tiger's head. However, the tiger was huge, and the kick was not enough to make it fall down. It even seemed to anger it.
The tiger roared at Pei Xu continuously, as if trying to intimidate him.
But Pei Xu was not afraid of such threats. Instead, he fought with the tiger that pounced on him.
"Your Majesty, I am here to help you."
Although the guards did not take action, but surrounded Gu Jiaorong tightly, fearing an ambush, they flew to help Pei Xu when they saw him fighting with the tiger.
These guards were carefully selected and their martial arts were naturally good. With the help of the guards, Pei Xu finally found an opportunity, turned over and jumped onto the tiger.
Perhaps the tiger knew it was at a disadvantage, so it scratched the ground with its claws, shook its head and tail, and struggled hard, but Pei Xu was already sitting firmly on it, so how could he give it a chance to resist?
Pei Xu raised his sword and stabbed the tiger's neck fiercely. Then he stood up and jumped aside, and the tiger fell to the ground with a bang.
There was blood all over the ground, which made Chu Fenghua feel distressed.
"Tiger blood is a valuable resource. It's such a waste to spill it all over the floor like this."
When Pei Xu heard this, he rolled his eyes at him.
"No matter how good something is, you must be alive to enjoy it. Protect Rong'er well. When we return to the palace, I will find you whatever you want."
Pei Xu has known Chu Fenghua for many years and can be said to know him very well.
When Chu Fenghua heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Aunt Gu."
As soon as Chu Fenghua finished speaking, there was a vibration in the distance. This was obviously not a landslide, which meant that a beast bigger than a tiger was coming.
"My lord, be careful."
Chu Fenghua's pupils dilated, and his voice trembled as he looked at the tall brown bear behind Pei Xu.
Although tigers are difficult to fight, they are agile and can entangle them first.
The brown bear is even more powerful. If they had just successfully killed the tiger, the tiger and the bear would have worked together to tear them to pieces.
Chu Fenghua was not stupid and quickly understood the other party's intention.
This is a determination to put them to death.
"Your Majesty, hurry up, this brown bear might not be your backup."
Gu Jiaorong naturally thought of what Chu Fenghua could think of, and she thought of some more.
Even if they were not killed quickly by the brown bear, as long as someone bleeds, the smell of blood will attract more ferocious beasts.
Gu Jiaorong had a terrible guess that there were probably countless ferocious beasts waiting for them in this hunting ground.
The prince did not deal with the beasts, but instead cordoned off a safe area and built a fence. Once a gap appeared somewhere and they happened to be in the deep forest, he only needed to release a beast as a lure to consume the other beasts. No matter whether the beast was dead or alive, as long as it bleeds, it will become the target of other beasts.
Now this bear must have been released after the tiger, with the purpose of cooperating with the tiger to reap human lives.
Now that the tiger is dead, the brown bear has smelled the blood and is coming to look for it. If the brown bear also dies, who knows what will happen next.
Pei Xu had no doubt about Gu Jiaorong's words, and no longer hesitated, and asked someone to take out the musket.
"It's a good opportunity to test the power of this musket."
Liu Yueqing curled his lips. He was the one who followed Fu'an from the Firearms Battalion to the palace that night, and he had always been looking forward to using muskets in combat.
"Stop talking nonsense and hit it on the head."
Pei Xu glanced at him and spoke lightly, while also standing in front of the brown bear to buy him some time.
The two of them cooperated very well, but it was also the first time for Liu Yueqing to use a musket in actual combat, and it took the second shot to knock down the brown bear.
Pei Xu didn't look at the fallen brown bear. He took the handkerchief handed to him by Gu Jiaorong, wiped the blood splashed on his body, and then got on the horse.
But as soon as he got on the horse, he realized something was wrong.
He immediately got off the horse while holding Gu Jiaorong in his arms, and used his sword to pick the poisonous snake off the horse, but his horse also fell to the ground at this moment.
As Pei Xu was taking action, Chu Fenghua also dismounted to check.
"It's a poisonous snake."
He took out the medicine powder and handed it to Gu Jiaorong and Pei Xu, and then distributed some to others.
"I'm afraid there are more around. This kind of venomous snake is not common, and it shouldn't appear here. It's a southwestern venomous snake and is very venomous."
Chu Fenghua caught the poisonous snake with his bare hands and shook it, but Pei Xu was not in the mood to look at it. He carefully checked Gu Jiaorong to make sure she was okay.
"Fortunately, the prince was alert, otherwise the snake would have bitten me instead of the horse."
Gu Jiaorong didn't expect that there were poisonous snakes around. She just thought that the smell of blood would attract wild beasts.
"This must have been premeditated, but the Crown Prince doesn't have the ability to do so, and he doesn't know anyone in the southwest."
Pei Xu frowned. He knew the relationship network between the Crown Prince and Pei Yunzhao very well. If these two had such capable people around them, they probably wouldn't have gone to the trouble of scheming against Gu Fuying in order to win over Gu Sidao.
"Who knows."
Chu Fenghua was not familiar with the court. He looked at the poisonous snake in his hand with interest in his eyes.
"But this man really values you. He even used a poisonous snake. You have to know that this poisonous snake is not easy to raise, and it was shipped from the southwest."
Chu Fenghua put the poisonous snake away, preparing to keep it for later use. He looked around vigilantly, feeling that there shouldn't be only one poisonous snake, and he was not trying to scare Pei Xu just now.
