It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 583 Even if I can eat people, I won’t kill them
Liu Cong did not agree to enter the courtyard to fight the tiger, and Liu Yao could not force his way in. He was a little confused about Liu Cong's intention, so he did not confront Liu Yi head-on, but just said that there were other things in the army and he had to go back to deal with them quickly.

He turned and left the hall, thinking that he should go see Yang Xianrong.

But the lights in Yang Xianrong's Jinfeng Palace were off, and it seemed that she was not there.

Maybe she returned to the general's mansion?
Liu Yao was also annoyed, so he turned around and left the palace and went to the general's mansion. However, Yang Xianrong was not in the general's mansion either. He Chi and Wei Xing would also come to Liu Yao to talk about military affairs, and he could not care about much for a while, so he had to deal with his 80,000 people first.

Tiger did not make any movement in the courtyard, and the number of guards guarding the door was reduced by more than half. Liu Yao occasionally walked around the door, but he only looked and could not rush in.

By the third day, the tiger had not made any movement. Even Liu Yao began to slack off and went outside the east gate to check on his 80,000 troops. He was worried about asking them to quickly collect military supplies.

As soon as Liu Yao left, a tiger jumped out from the wall of Liu Yi's courtyard. Liu Yao's guards stood far away, and only heard a tiger roar, and then a large creature like a spotted cat appeared.

Ten hunters had been guarding outside. When they saw the tiger appear, they immediately stood up and picked up their square forked halberds. But at this time, the person closest to the tiger was not them, but the steward of Liu Yi's villa. He didn't dare to leave the villa, otherwise Liu Yi would be angry. But he didn't dare to enter the villa either, because he was also afraid of tigers.

When the tiger entered the courtyard before, all the servants ran out, but they didn't go far, and sat around the door waiting. Now, when the tiger jumped out, he saw him at first sight.

Butler Liu trembled all over. Before he could react, the tiger bit his thigh. Blood immediately flowed out. He screamed, "Help! Help me!"

But who would dare to step forward at this moment? It might be too late to run away.

Because it had bitten the butler Liu, the tiger was not greedy and just held on to him tightly and refused to let go. A brave hunter approached the tiger with a fork, intending to try to make it let go so that he could save the man.

But the tiger seemed to know what he was thinking. It bit Butler Liu's thigh fiercely and slowly retreated towards the gate of the villa.

The dark door was nailed shut with big wooden bars. After the tiger bumped into it, it knew it had no way to open the door. But it was impossible to jump over the wall and jump back while dragging a person. It pulled Butler Liu around in circles, looking around.

At first, Butler Liu was still howling and struggling, but he must have bitten off his femoral artery, and the blood flowed very quickly and heavily. After a while, Butler Liu didn't have the strength to shout, and could only open his mouth and gasp for air. At this time, the tiger seemed to have figured out something and suddenly hit the rammed earth wall with its body.

The wall was built by ramming yellow earth. After the rain in the past few days, and the quality of the wall was not very good, the tiger started to loosen after hitting it three or four times. The tiger was really smart. It dragged Liu's body to hit the wall together. After a few more hits, it actually knocked a big hole in the wall.

At the same time as the big hole appeared, a large section of the rammed earth wall collapsed, revealing part of the courtyard.

Of course, this courtyard is not very big. Behind the wall is a courtyard and a large hall. The courtyard is a mess, which must be the "masterpiece" of the tiger.

When Tiger saw the wall collapsed, he struggled to drag Butler Liu into the yard. His blood was everywhere along the way. Judging from the amount of blood, this man must be dead. Everyone could only watch Tiger disappear after entering the courtyard. Now no one was clamoring to go in, and they didn't even dare to breathe. Butler Liu's blood on the ground was extremely messy and eye-catching.

After the tiger entered the courtyard, there was no sound. The people outside dared to move for a long time, but they all moved out quietly and then quickly ran to various places to deliver the message.

This time, it was Emperor Liu Cong who got the news first. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Then don't go in. It's too dangerous."

After hearing the news, Liu Yi was also a little scared and asked the person who came to deliver the letter, "Is housekeeper Liu gone just like that?"

"There's blood all over the floor. He's probably dead."

"Why don't we let them go in and catch the tiger and kill it. It would be bad if it started eating people." Liu Yi rubbed his hands, "It's too scary."

But his adviser Huang Zhi waved his hand and asked the messenger to leave. He lowered his voice and said to Liu Yi: "Your Highness, this tiger cannot be beaten!"

"Why?" Liu Yi had originally picked up the tea bowl and took a sip to calm himself, but when he heard this, he put the bowl down and looked at him, "It's been three days, and he's starting to hurt people..."

"But have you ever thought that the reason why Liu Yao and his men didn't dare to go in and catch the tiger before was because of your status and position. They didn't dare to act rashly."

"Is that because the gate is sealed?"

"Even if the wall is down now, we still can't let them rush in. This is a symbol of the dignity and status of the crown prince. How can we let these peasants rush in like this? Besides, inside... ahem, no one can easily get in." Advisor Huang Zhi lowered his head, "Your Highness, you have to think about your status, especially at this time. You know that the emperor recently had two sons in succession, and the previous son is about to be ten years old. I heard that he also wants to find the eldest daughter of Jin Zhun's family as a concubine."

"What?" Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, "Liu Cong wants to take a concubine?"

"Not him, but his son."

"Isn't that right? The eldest daughter of Jin Zhun's family is at least sixteen this year... I remember she is so self-righteous that no one can look down on her... She is..."

"Jin Zhun is now the Imperial Household Doctor. The emperor has never had a good counselor by his side, so he naturally wants to tie him down by his side. So what if his daughter is older? Anyway, she has been given a status, and Jin Zhun will be loyal to the emperor for the rest of his life."

"Jin Zhun is an old fox, very annoying." Liu Yi squeezed the teacup hard, "If that's the case, then we still can't let him into the courtyard, we have to guard him outside."

"You should also see what the emperor thinks about this matter. If the emperor sees that you are so determined not to let them go in to catch the tiger, it also proves that the emperor values ​​you and is willing to listen to you. Then, the civil and military officials in the court will naturally dare not say anything, and Liu Yao must not act rashly... Doesn't this prove that your position in the Han Dynasty is unshakable?"
