It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 585: There is a mystery in the courtyard

In fact, Liu Yi had already received the news that the tiger had injured someone again and Liu Yao had already rushed back. He was sitting in the house and wondering whether he should really open the door to let people in.

The counselor Huang Zhi stood aside, stroked his beard and whispered: "Your Highness, you can let them in."

"What? Didn't you say no before?" Liu Yi asked unhappily.

"That was before. The situation is different now." Huang Zhi still looked calm and answered seriously: "In fact, I said before that the villa cannot be opened because I wanted to see how the emperor feels about you. You also know that you had a very good relationship with... ahem, Liu He. He killed him with his own hands, but did not implicate you... Who knows if it was fake? So, I wanted to use this to test the emperor. The emperor is really partial to you. As long as you disagree, he will disagree."

Liu Yi nodded upon hearing this, "That's right, my brother is like that, he even drank with me, he's not shy at all."

Huang Zhi lowered his voice and moved closer to Liu Yi: "Before, we tested people's hearts, now we have to win their hearts."

"What do you mean?" Liu Yi didn't understand.

"Now, this tiger has caused a lot of trouble in Pingyang. The people are looking forward to getting rid of the tiger, and the officials have the same idea. Even Liu Yao is eager to get rid of the tiger. He even wants to kill the tiger himself so that he can establish his prestige." Huang Zhi laughed, "He has suffered so many defeats, and he also wants to establish his prestige among the officials and people of the Han Dynasty. However, he can't take advantage of this."

"so?"

"So, you are the one who is expected to fight the tiger. When the time comes, the people of Pingyang will definitely think of you as the hero who fought the tiger, and they will be grateful to you. At that time, no matter what you want to do, will it be possible?"

"But what's in the other courtyard?"

"You take the people to fight the tiger, and I will deal with those things."

Liu Yi smiled very proudly, "Okay, tell someone to get ready, we'll go fight the tiger now."

At this time, Liu Yao just walked in. Liu Yi immediately stood up and said, "General, you are here just in time. Let's go fight the tiger together!"

Liu Yao had prepared a lot to say, but it ended up like this.

"As soon as possible!" He didn't know what to say, so he had to stride out of Liu Yi's mansion again.

When passing by his general's mansion, he couldn't help but go in to take a look, but the servants guarding the mansion said that Yang Xianrong had never come back.

Liu Yao felt very uncomfortable. He hadn't seen her in the palace, and he hadn't seen her here either. Since Yang Xianrong entered the palace, he had lost contact with her. What happened?
Thinking of this, he looked at the people around him again. In addition to his personal followers and deputy general, the people from the Shaoying Group should also have been guarding the General's Mansion, but now there was not a single one left. What happened?
No matter what, the top priority today is to fight tigers.

Liu Yao clenched his fists, picked up a long sword and went out.

Due to the terrible situation that the tiger had repeatedly injured people, the people surrounding the villa were also extremely cautious. They bent over and walked slowly forward with long swords and spears in hand.

The main entrance was sealed with wooden bars, so they couldn't get in. The only thing they could do was crawl in through the broken part of the rammed earth wall.

But the gap was covered with reddish-brown bloodstains, bloody flesh and torn clothes, which looked very shocking.

Although Liu Yao, Qian Pufang and Liu Yi had selected strong elite warriors, they were trembling and their movements became extremely slow when they saw such a scene. In order to show his heroism, Liu Yi rushed in ahead of Liu Yao and followed the crowd to climb over the wall. Liu Yao was unwilling to let Qian Pufang take risks, and told him to stand outside with a long knife. If they failed to catch the tiger, he could lead people outside to hunt it down.

The planning was carried out in such a chaotic manner.

In the blink of an eye, it was getting dark. If we didn't kill the tiger now, it would be even more dangerous.

Liu Yi walked in front with a dozen guards. He was wearing armor and holding a spear. He walked into the courtyard step by step, following the blood drops.

However, it was also very strange that the yard was so quiet and there was no sound at all.

The guards gradually dispersed and looked for traces of the tiger in every corner.

The layout of the villa is very regular, and there are no extra pavilions or towers.

Liu Yi continued walking along the blood trail and went straight into the hall.

The hall was not very big, but there were many tablets placed in the middle, and extinguished incense and candles scattered on the ground. It looked like someone had been commemorating someone before, and if the tiger hadn't come, there would have been eternal lamps burning.

But none of this mattered, because the tiger was lying under the incense table, seemingly asleep, motionless. Its body was a little bloated, could it be that it had eaten too many people?

Liu Yi got a little bolder and slowly approached. However, although he had been on the battlefield and knew how to fight, he was very nervous as it was his first time to fight a tiger. He kept thinking in his mind whether to stab its forehead or eyes directly, or its neck. How could he hit it with one strike?

When Liu Yi was about to approach the tiger, the tiger suddenly shook its body and stood up.

Yes, it stands up like a person.

Just when Liu Yi and others were stunned, the tiger's fur suddenly fell off, and a living person emerged from inside, who was Emperor Liu Cong.

This was so sudden that not only Liu Yi was surprised, but even Liu Yao who was following behind him was stunned.

Just when everyone was in a daze, Liu Cong suddenly kicked Liu Yi in the chest. He stepped back two or three steps in pain before he knelt on the ground, unable to speak.

Liu Yao didn't react and only had time to take two steps forward. But at this moment, Liu Cong snatched the long knife from his hand and directly put it on Liu Yi's neck.

This sudden change shocked everyone again.

The guards brought by Liu Yi looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

But Liu Yi held back the severe pain and shouted, "Brother, what are you doing? I came here to fight a tiger, how did you turn into a tiger? Ahem, this is not right!"

"Isn't that right?" Liu Cong laughed. "Liu Yi, you are offering sacrifices to the tablets of the traitor Liu He's family. Are you also planning a rebellion?"

"What?" Liu Yi raised his head with difficulty and looked at Liu Cong. Liu Cong shouted to Liu Yao who was still in a daze: "General, what are you doing? First arrest these people. Then bring those tablets over and have a look. Haha, Liu Yi, now I want to ask you, what is your intention in letting the tiger come to Pingyang City to cause trouble?"
