Chapter 358 Confrontation
Jing Heng heard the sound of horse hooves behind him and thought it was Li Ke or someone else and did not look back. He did not know that it was Qin Xiaoxiao.
Lian Chengyu, who was being chased by a tiger like a dead dog, saw him. His eyes suddenly brightened as if he had seen a savior, and he shouted in a sharp voice: "Uncle, save me!"
He is only one year younger than Jing Heng, but there is a generation gap between them. When he was a child, he was jealous of Emperor Yuan He's favor for Jing Heng, and he never refused to call Jing Heng uncle, and even called him by his first name.
Later, Emperor Yuan He overheard this. Instead of reprimanding his young grandson, he called the prince to the palace and taught him a lesson. The prince was so angry that he beat Lian Chengyu when he returned to the East Palace.
This fat beating caused great harm to Lian Chengyu. Even though he was still not angry with Jing Heng in his heart, he did not dare to continue to be rude and unrestrained. Every time he saw Jing Heng, he would call him "little uncle" in a polite manner.
.
Seeing that Jingheng risked his life to save him, he shouted "little uncle" with great affection.
Jing Heng didn't want to talk to Lian Chengyu at all and turned a deaf ear to his calls. When he realized that another tiger was chasing after him and would knock Lian Chengyu off his horse at any time, he immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow at the tiger.
The sharp arrows pointed directly at the tiger with a sound of piercing the air, and hit the tiger's forelimb with a "pop" sound.
"Roar--" The tiger fell to the ground in pain and let out a roar that shook the sky. The next moment, it rolled and jumped up, and pounced even more fiercely on Lian Chengyu, who was looking back.
"Ah——" Lian Chengyu was so frightened that his whole body became weak. Before the tiger's strong paws could fall on him, he lost his balance and rolled off the horse, falling heavily to the ground.
"Your Highness!" The remaining guard was covered in wounds and had no time to react. He watched with horror as the tiger pounced on Lian Chengyu.
Qin Zhichen's face was so pale that he couldn't even look human, but he didn't have the courage to get off his horse to save others. He stared blankly as the murderous tiger pinned Lian Chengyu to the ground and bit his neck with its bloody mouth.
With this bite, Lian Chengyu would have no chance of surviving.
"Big cat, shut up!" At this critical moment, Qin Xiaoxiao rushed over and threw the arrow in his hand at the tiger.
This arrow seemed to have eyes, and by chance it passed through the gap between the tiger's mouth and lay between its fangs and Lian Chengyu's neck.
"Ouch -" the tiger roared in pain again. That heavy bite not only failed to break Lian Chengyu's neck, but also caused a bloody hole in the upper jaw from the arrow.
"Idiot, get on the horse!" Jing Heng seized the opportunity, leaned over and forcefully picked up Lian Chengyu, who was lying limply on the ground and didn't know how to react, and placed him on the horse's back.
After doing all this, he glared at Qin Xiaoxiao: "What are you doing here? Leave quickly!"
Qin Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed at the tiger that blocked their way, and said helplessly: "Brother Li, do you think I can escape?"
Jing Heng looked in the direction she pointed, his expression extremely ugly.
The tiger's mouth was full of blood. It was the one that had fought with the unlucky guard before. It was obvious that the guard was in danger and might have died in its mouth.
At this time, it did not launch an attack. Its golden eyes were staring at Qin Xiaoxiao and Jingheng, and it seemed to be thinking about something in its spiritual eyes.
The other tiger whose upper jaw was stabbed did not care about the injury. He and his companions blocked Qin Xiaoxiao, Jingheng and the other five people one after another. They also did not launch an attack. They only let out a threatening growl from their throats and wanted to bite them in one bite.
