Chapter 14 The Three Kingdoms of Xianbei(1/2)
Hunting was a common recreational activity for the nobles of this era.
Even the emperor often went hunting to relax and adjust his mood - for this reason, a very large area was specially designated as a royal hunting garden for the emperor and the royal family to hunt.
However, the person who used the most in the Royal Hunting Garden was not the emperor Liu Xuan, but the concubine Huang Yueying. This can be regarded as an anecdote in the Han Dynasty today.
As for the reason why the emperor did not go, it was also very simple: he was not interested in hunting deer, rabbits and the like.
Tigers, bears, etc. are a bit fun, but it is impossible for the people in the court to place these things in the royal hunting garden. Even if the emperor is not afraid, the hunting garden is not only used by the emperor, and it is not far from the palace.
And in Luoyang City (the newly built Luoyang City is very vast and huge), if there is any trouble, it will not be beautiful.
This time when he came out, Liu Xuan aimed at those ferocious beasts. Unfortunately, he turned around for a whole day and didn't hit anything. Fortunately, when he was about to return, he bumped into a tiger. Although it was not big, it actually turned around after seeing a group of people.
He ran away, but eventually died under Huang Yueying's stick - in order not to hurt the fur, Huang Yueying first captured the tiger with a 'net gun', and then beat it to death with a stick.
Looking at the posture, it seems that he wants to beat this tiger as someone else!
"Okay, if you beat me any more, the fur will be rotten!"
"If it's dead, it's bad. Just catch another one when we get back!"
Even though he said this, Huang Yueying still stopped, and then Dian Wei went directly to resist the tiger's body, and then followed His Majesty back.
After only taking two steps, Liu Xuan suddenly stopped, and then ordered Zhang Fei beside him: "There should be a nest of tiger cubs behind the big tree, go and pick it up!"
"Tiger boy?"
Although Zhang Fei didn't know how His Majesty discovered it, he didn't doubt Liu Xuan's words at all. He walked directly behind the big tree in a few strides, and then shouted: "There really is a nest of tiger cubs... Huh?"
Quite a temper!"
Although he didn't know what happened, Zhang Fei's tone told him that nothing happened, and he seemed quite happy.
Then he saw Zhang Fei holding two under his arms, holding one in his big hand, and lifting a little tiger cub in front of him with the other hand. He was laughing and laughing as he watched the little thing baring its teeth and claws at him.
"Weird? Wouldn't a tiger be very aggressive if it had cubs? How come this one didn't even want the cubs when he saw us and turned around and ran away?"
Huang Yueying knows some of the habits of tigers. In fact, tigers generally do not attack people. If they actively attack people, there are usually several possibilities: they have been injured by hunters' traps, and they have suffered losses from hunters, so they have a negative attitude toward people.
Great hatred.
A tiger that has just given birth to an offspring will be extremely aggressive towards any creature that infringes on its territory in order to protect its offspring.
Very hungry……
Liu Xuan shook his head: "Animals have sharper senses than humans. This tiger immediately judged that our group of people was not easy to mess with, so it wanted to leave immediately!" He paused and glanced at the four.
Little Tiger: "Maybe there is a reason to lead us far away!"
"No wonder you can't see any ferocious beasts when you come out today. It turns out they are all hiding!"
Huang Yueying had a look of surprise on her face: "I can't take you with me when I go hunting next time!" These words seemed to be all caused by Liu Xuan.
But in reality, it's almost the same. Liu Xuan has mastered dragon aura, and this aura will be exposed even if he doesn't do it intentionally. Ordinary beasts will immediately run away when they feel these auras. How could they come out to touch this brow?
Even this tiger would have gone into hiding long ago if its cub wasn't nearby. However, Zhang Fei and his group, although powerful, have not left the human category after all, so the beast will not deliberately avoid them.
Liu Xuan turned around and saw that Zhang Fei was still winking at the little tiger who was baring its teeth and claws at him, as if he was deliberately trying to make the little guy angry. Liu Xuan found that the little tiger was much more energetic than the other two.
Especially the chubby and naive appearance, which adds a bit of endearing cuteness.
"This little guy is pretty good, keep it up!"
He casually took the little thing from Zhang Fei's hand. Perhaps the dragon energy in him was too strong. This little thing dared to grin at Zhang Fei. But in Liu Xuan's hands, he became as honest as a domestic cat and only used it occasionally.
Those round eyes glanced at Liu Xuan.
"Haha, this trip is not without rewards!"
He handed it to Diao Chan at the side, which made Diao Chan panic for a while: "This is...a tiger...it won't bite me, right?"
"What are you afraid of?" Liu Xuan smiled and comforted Diao Chan: "With your current strength, can it bite you? What's more, even if it does bite, it won't really cause any serious damage!"
Even if he really bites Diao Chan, he can still cure Diao Chan without leaving any scars.
"And if it really dares to bite you, I'll stew it to make you angry!"
I don’t know if this warning really worked. This little thing was lying in Diao Chan’s arms. If it weren’t for the color and pattern of its fur, it might have been mistaken for a cat.
"These ones are no longer good, these two have run out of energy!"
Zhang Fei freed his hand and began to check the other ones. He found that the two caught under his arm were no longer alive. Only the one caught in his hand was still normal, but the one that was shaking was
It looks like chaff in a sieve and is incomparable to the one just now.
"I thought that it would be majestic to take a tiger out after I was raised, but I didn't expect it would be so useless... And you, you are a tiger, what does it mean to be shaking like this?"
Regardless of whether the tiger understood or not, Zhang Fei lectured him endlessly along the way, and Liu Xuan did not stop him. Instead, he found it quite interesting to encounter such a thing.
But when it comes to raising it... Liu Xuan easily lifted the little thing in Diao Chan's arms, then raised it in front of him and looked at her belly, and finally put it back in Diao Chan's arms: "Keep it!"
A group of people looked at it in confusion. Only Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and muttered secretly: "How stingy!"
This incident is just an episode and will have almost no impact.
After returning, the fur from the tiger was peeled off, and Huang Yueying made it into a three-piece tiger skin suit - a cute top, a short skirt and stockings. She and Diao Chan each had a set, but neither of them had it.
Satisfied, Huang Yueying even expressed that she would like to make a tiger skin windbreaker.
"It would be great if I had a white tiger skin!"
Even the imperial palace did not have such things that were only heard of in name - the Han Dynasty had just risen again, and actually did not have a rich collection of rare and exotic objects.
As for the old treasures in the past? They were originally placed in the old palace, but they were looted when Dong Zhuo rebelled. Later, after Dong Zhuo's defeat, they were all scattered and disappeared. Although some were recovered, many real treasures
They have all been lost among the people, probably stored in the homes of some wealthy businessmen and nobles.
So in fact, there are not many novel things in the palace now, most of them are the products of the 'new era' created by Huang Yueying.
"Do you like white tigers?"
“I just think it’s new, so I want to experience it!”
Huang Yueying looked at the one held in Diao Chan's arms, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, how about raising this little guy to a white tiger?"
"Nurture? Do you mean transformation?" Liu Xuan looked at Huang Yueying's shining eyes and immediately guessed what she was thinking.
However, he would not object to this idea. In fact, he had been thinking about whether the mounts of the Han generals should also change?
Lu Bu may not think about these things if he has a red rabbit horse, but most of the mounts of other generals are replaced regularly - it's not that they don't want a mount that can accompany them for a long time, but that the war horses bred by the Han Dynasty change too quickly.
, and they cannot guarantee that the war horses they raise can always maintain the same level as those institutions in the Han Dynasty that specialize in breeding war horses.
Therefore, almost as soon as a batch of new excellent war horses come out, the generals will change their mounts on a large scale. This will not be the same thing in the long run.
Perhaps in the future, as the strength of these military generals gradually increases, some people will give up their mounts - they can fly to the sky and escape from the earth. Naturally, this mount is dispensable.
But if you really find a good mount, it will undoubtedly increase your strength a lot. For example, if Lu Bu and Red Rabbit work together, they can increase their lethality a lot. This is not a question of one plus one.
Like what Huang Yueying mentioned, as long as things go well, many special mounts may be cultivated. This is part of his plan, and there is nothing wrong with starting it now.
Anyway, things in the Weapon Refining Department are gradually getting on the right track, and Huang Yueying is doing things step by step. In this case, let her take charge of some new projects, maybe there will be some surprises!
While walking back, Liu Xuan told Huang Yueying all his thoughts.
Sure enough, after hearing that there was such a "fun" thing to do, Huang Yueying directly expressed a very strong interest: "Can everything be cultivated?"
Liu Xuan nodded: "Theoretically, everything including Phoenix, Qilin, Xuanwu, etc. can be 'created' through this method!"
"Really?"
"Even Western flying dragons, unicorns, and Pegasus can be used!"
In fact, Liu Xuan originally wanted to equip the Yulin Cavalry with Pegasus, because in terms of 'operation', they could adapt faster and form combat power in the shortest time.
Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and suddenly thought: "By the way, we are in Japan!"
"Yes!" Liu Xuan didn't think Huang Yueying was confused enough to realize where she was, so he was a little curious about what he would say next.
result……
"Tell me, would it be interesting if I made some nine-tailed demon fox, Yamata no Orochi or something like that?"
"..."
Liu Xuan thought about it for a long time and didn't find it interesting, so he just said: "It's up to you. Anyway, just don't create a monster that no one can conquer!"
We must pay attention to this point. How many stories are just because someone created a powerful monster, and then countless heroes successively took defeating this monster as their most important responsibility, and passed down one heroic deed after another...
...It would be too tragic if this situation really happened, and generally speaking, the creator and the beings around him are unlucky, and no one will end well.
Talking and laughing, we returned to our residence again. We had no words for one night...no words for two nights...In the following period, everything was very peaceful. Liu Xuan and the two women also began to adapt to the existence of a little guy beside them.
.
only……
Seeing Huang Yueying teasing the tiger with a small stick with a ball of wool tied to one end, why does it look so awkward?
"Are you really raising me as a cat?"
"It's almost the same anyway!"
Diao Chan is no longer afraid of this little thing, because it does look very cute, furry and fleshy, and they will even hug him and sleep together at night. As for whether the little thing is happy? That is not within the scope of a few people's consideration.
To be continued...
