Jun Lingyun listened with bated breath, there were actually two of them. They had really gone to great lengths to harm him, so let's use their own people to feed the tiger.
The people following him felt anxious when they heard the roar of the tiger getting closer and closer. Could it be that the tiger had already encountered the prince and his entourage? But there was no sound of fighting.
The leader waved his hand forward, signaling his men to speed up. They couldn't let anyone lose.
The group of people was speeding forward when the roar of a tiger appeared directly in front of them. They suddenly stopped and their hearts beat faster.
What's going on? Didn't the prince and others come in first? How come they weren't caught in the middle, and instead they faced the tiger?
The tiger was huge, and it moved into the hearts of the group of people step by step. Finally, half of the tiger's body was exposed.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
The leader shouted that they were here to attack the prince and others, not to feed the tiger.
It was good that they didn't move, but when they did, the tiger also launched a fierce attack. What was even worse was that there was a slightly smaller tiger behind them, and the two tigers actually cooperated in hunting.
"Ah!" A man screamed and his neck was bitten by a tiger.
"Get up the tree, get up the tree quickly."
Jun Lingyun raised his lips and smiled. This leading guard must be working as an undercover agent for him. How come every order makes him so satisfied?
These people panicked and chose their way. Some used Qinggong to climb up the tree, and some used their hands and feet. However, Jun Lingyun and others who had already ambushed in the tree kicked them back in front of the tiger.
"Roar!" the tiger roared. It had been starved for several days. How could it not be happy now that the food was flying in front of its eyes? It took one bite at a time and harvested the lives of those who flew in.
"If there is an ambush, don't climb the tree and rush out."
They had the skills and could handle it once or twice, but they were kicked straight into the tiger's mouth, and there was no chance of struggling.
"Whoosh!" An arrow landed right at the feet of the person in front.
There are also people who do not believe in evil and want to run back.
"Whoosh!" Another arrow fell and pierced the man's instep.
"Ah!" The man screamed and pulled out the arrow from his foot, dragging his injured foot back a few steps.
"Go back and kill that tiger. If you dare to take a step back, I won't mind and will send you to hell."
Jun Lingyun's cold voice sounded at this moment, like Yama demanding his life.
Those people never expected that in the situation they set up, they would be the one trapped in the middle, with a wolf in front of them and a tiger behind them.
Seeing that several of their lagging companions had been killed or injured, if they faced off against the prince at this time, it would be a miserable situation from both sides. If they killed the tiger first and then dealt with the prince, they might still have a chance to survive.
After only thinking for a moment, they chose the one that seemed to have a glimmer of hope among the two dead ends. They raised their swords and surrounded the tiger.
In fact, compared to the tiger, the prince's reputation as the bloodthirsty Yama is more frightening. If he fell into the hands of the prince, it would be better to die in the tiger's mouth.
"Kill those two tigers!" the leader shouted.
In the mountain forest, the roar of tigers and the screams of people could be heard all of a sudden.
Their light skills were almost useless, because there were Jun Lingyun's people high up, waiting to harvest their lives. They could only struggle with the tiger on the ground. The disparity in strength made it difficult to move forward.
Everyone else also heard the sound, and they were panicked.
The royal guards protected the emperor.
"Your Majesty, there seems to be a tiger. Please go out of the woods to take shelter. Your subordinates will go to the aid of His Highness the Crown Prince."
In order to avoid accidental injuries from arrows, people usually go in one direction, and that is clearly where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going.
The emperor looked in the direction of the tiger's roar with deep eyes. Since the prince asked him to believe him, he should believe him.
"First take everyone out of the mountains and forests safely, and then go to assist the prince."
"Yes!" Although the imperial guards were puzzled, they could only carry out the emperor's order. They quickly went to inform others to leave the forest.
"Look, they're back."
A young lady shouted happily. She had already seen people leaving the forest one after another.
But among those who came out, no one was happy to return home with a full load, and even the horses trampled the ground uneasily.
When they left the forest, they did not return to the camp, but wandered around the edge of the forest.
Chu Yunxi's heart tightened, and he looked for Jun Lingyun and others in the crowd, but he didn't see them for a long time.
"Come here, go to the front and ask about the situation."
Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Concubine Rong ordered the guards on the side, who immediately followed the order and left.
All the ladies and ladies watched nervously as the guard came and went. After all, the mainstays of their families were in that forest.
"Return to Concubine Rong."
As soon as the guard opened his mouth, everyone fell silent and listened carefully.
"A tiger suddenly appeared in the forest. The emperor has ordered everyone to come out of the forest. His Royal Highness is hunting the tiger."
As soon as these words came out, some ladies almost couldn't stand still and burst into anxious tears.
Because they haven't seen their husbands and sons in the crowd yet, if they encounter a tiger, it will be a narrow escape.
Those who had already seen their family members coming out secretly patted their chests. It was such a thrilling experience to survive the disaster.
"Xi'er, Xi'er, they haven't come out yet, what should I do?"
Princess Guo came over and nervously held Chu Yunxi's hand.
Chu Yunxi knew that Princess Guo and the others referred to too many people, including Jun Lingyun, his father, his eldest brother, and Prince Hao and Prince Hao.
Although she knew that this might be a trap set by Jun Lingyun, she was still extremely worried. After all, beasts have no understanding of human nature.
She couldn't tell Princess Guo the truth. For Jun Lingyun's safety in the next two months, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. With the help of the imperial guards, they will be fine."
"Then we can only wait like this?"
When Princess Guo asked this question, the Minister of War also asked the emperor for orders.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to return to the forest and assist His Royal Highness."
Other military attachés also echoed this.
The emperor squinted at the mountains and forest, counting the time, and it took a lot of effort to bring everyone out. The prince should be finished by now.
"Go." The emperor relaxed.
"I accept the decree." The generals were about to enter the forest again when they saw someone coming from the forest in a hurry.
"Come out, someone is coming out."
Everyone's happiness didn't last long before they saw the person coming was stained with blood.
What was carried out by the imperial guards turned out to be corpses with missing limbs and beyond recognition. One, two, three...
"vomit!"
The military attaches were okay, but the young men who had never seen blood couldn't stand the scene and ran to the side to retching.
As more and more corpses were carried out, even the emperor frowned.
Everyone was speculating in their minds whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would die in it, but no one dared to voice this concern. Only the emperor asked:
"Where is the prince?"
"Back to the emperor, His Highness the Crown Prince led people to strangle the tiger, but encountered an assassin. Now he is seriously injured. Most of his attendants died in the tiger's mouth!"
The Royal Forest Army reported sadly, and everyone gasped and felt uneasy. The prince was seriously injured, what should I do?
