My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 116: reward

After the stag fell, the white mass did not stop, and ran towards Li Yin like a phantom. Qin Huaiyu was startled, and shouted: "Protect Your Highness!"

More than a dozen guards looked serious, and they drew out their waist knives to protect Li Yin in the middle. They were able to kill such a huge stag in an instant, which showed that this animal was extremely dangerous.

But at this time, in the eyes of everyone, the group of white animals was approaching here at a frightening speed, and it was in front of everyone in an instant, and Li Yin also saw the true face of this thing, it turned out to be an animal The three-meter-long white leopard was thought to be pure white just now because it was too far away. Looking closely, faint brown spots can be seen faintly on its body.

The fur on the snow leopard's body is also extremely thick, which makes the snow leopard's body look very thick, especially the tail, which is as fluffy as a squirrel's tail. At this moment, it is staring fiercely at Li Yin and the others. Twisting, it looks like it will attack at any time.

Qin Huaiyu stood in front, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead. Fighting with people is one thing, but fighting with such ferocious animals is another. They don't play cards according to common sense.

Following Li Yin's six Tibetan mastiffs saw the snow leopard, they started barking wildly. The loyalty of the mastiffs to their masters is instinctive, and each of them began to struggle to get out of the control of the servants, and the snow mastiff fed by Li Yin struggled even more. A burst of barking suddenly broke away from the servant's hand, and threw himself in front of the snow leopard, baring its teeth and looking fiercely at the snow leopard.

The snow leopard is at least three times the size of the snow mastiff. Although the little guy is brave, he is definitely not the opponent of the snow leopard. Li Yin shouted: "Let go of all the mastiffs."

Jading listened to the order and loosened the rope, and the other five Tibetan mastiffs immediately surrounded him, surrounded the snow leopard, walked around uneasily with their teeth bared, as if they would pounce on it at any time.

Six Tibetan mastiffs surrounded them, the snow leopard was visibly disturbed, and kept growling, while Li Yin said, "Prepare your bow and arrow."

Several guards quickly drew their bows and aimed at the snow leopard.

The six Tibetan mastiffs seemed a little impatient, and kept trying to attack the snow leopard, but they were scared off by the snow leopard's ferocious appearance, but the snow mastiff stood in front of the snow leopard and confronted it.

With a low growl, the snow leopard still took the lead in attacking and pounced on the snow mastiff. Li Min hurriedly said in his heart: "Let the arrow go." This snow mastiff is only in its infancy, and it can withstand the bite of the snow mastiff there. , but he still underestimated the snow mastiff's ability.

The snow mastiff deftly avoided the snow mastiff's bite, turned around and bit the snow leopard's neck, and the other five Tibetan mastiffs also jumped on it, biting the snow mastiff fiercely, but their strength was not enough, the snow leopard swung away Three of the six Tibetan mastiffs were overturned, and at this time the sharp arrows of the guards also arrived, four or five of them missed, but one shot hit the snow leopard's stomach.

The snow leopard was in pain and let out a scream. The Tibetan Mastiff's attack was even more fierce, and it rushed to bite again. At this time, Qin Huaiyu seized the opportunity and stabbed the snow leopard's body with a huge force. The huge force directly penetrated the snow leopard's body. "Whimper" and then there was no sound.

The bow in Li Yin's hand was released as soon as he drew it. The behavior of this snow leopard is really abnormal. It stands to reason that this kind of animal is a very alert creature. There must be a reason why he chose to attack when he saw such a person. Li Yin is right. Said left and right, "Search around." Animals generally attack and attack when they are feeding their cubs, and this snow leopard should be the same.

Snow leopard is an endangered animal in the 21st century, and it is mainly active in places such as the snowy fields of Sichuan, Tibet, etc., but at this time, the number of this species is quite large, and this kind of cat can often be seen in the jungles of Yizhou animal.

After a while, several servants who were looking for the stag’s death returned, and the snow leopard’s lair was indeed found at the place where the stag died.

"Your Highness, these four little leopards can be brought back to the palace to be domesticated. When they grow up, they can hunt better than mastiff dogs." Qin Huaiyu said while picking up a snow leopard cub as big as an adult cat.

The snow leopard's lair is not far from the stag, and there is a cave under a slope, in which several young snow leopards are making immature roars. For the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, leopards are much more precious than hunting dogs, and some nobles even kept leopards in their homes. Slaves, these leopard slaves are responsible for domesticating cheetahs for hunting.

"It's all for you!" Li Yin touched the snow mastiff that was staring at the little leopard intently, and said, "I still like keeping dogs." Leopards are wild and difficult to tame. It is not uncommon for him to see news reports of animal trainers killed by lions.

Qin Huaiyu didn't have such scruples because of his own ability, and said happily: "Then, your highness, Huaiyu will be disrespectful."

Two prey were hunted in a short period of time. Li Yin asked several servants to carry the snow leopard and stag outside the forest to guard them, so as not to be stolen by other carnivores.

The battle with the snow leopard made Li Yin feel that he had underestimated the fighting power of the Tibetan mastiff, so he let the servants no longer have to look at the Tibetan mastiff and let them move freely.

Qin Huaiyu handed the four little leopards to a servant, followed Li Yin and continued to walk forward. Li Yin joked: "You are their mother-killing enemy, be careful when they grow up to take revenge."

"Your Highness, don't be joking. I feel weird when I say it. People say that people don't hurt tigers, but tigers eat people's hearts. If I don't kill it, it will kill us."

"People don't hurt the tiger's will, but the tiger eats the heart!" Li Yin read a sentence, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. This is so similar to the rules of survival in the emperor's house.

Next, Li Yin gradually understood why hunting dogs were always brought with him. These dogs ran wildly in the woods, scaring out all the hidden animals in a short while, and Li Yin and his party were busy. Shooting arrows with a bent bow, he hunted many rabbits and pheasants. During the period, he even killed a wild boar. The snow mastiff single-handedly caught four or five rabbits. Give it a high-end name - Wangcai.

The hunting activity finally ended at dusk when the sun set on the western mountain. The three groups of people gained a lot, but among them, the rabbits, deer and pheasants were the most, and they carried their prey back to the edge of the forest.

"Your Highness has gained a lot, here is a leopard." Tong Nian squatted down and looked carefully for a while and said.

Shangguanyi laughed and said, "With so many prey, I won't worry about running out of meat this year."

"That's right, the price of meat today is not cheap. A petty official like me can only taste it at the end of the year. This year, I can count on His Highness." Wang Yinlong said.

"That's not easy, we all come to the palace to eat at that time, and it's fun for everyone to get together, how about it?" Li Yin suggested.

"It's all up to Your Highness to order." Several people were overjoyed and said.

"Well, it's settled like this. I held a family banquet in the palace a few years ago, and invited officials and prominent families from Yizhou to come. Everyone has a lively and lively time together."

After agreeing on a date with everyone, the group returned to Yizhou City. The weather had cleared up at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Li Yin's body, stretching his figure infinitely. Looking at the magnificent scenery, Li Yin Taking a breath of cool air, "This is life!" He said with deep emotion.
