Chapter 212 Little Flower
In the afternoon, everyone went down the mountain together under the leadership of the princess.

The people who collected herbs all carried baskets of herbs on their backs, and they returned home with a full load. Witnessing the princess killing a tiger with their own eyes today is enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.

Magistrate Cai also broke out in cold sweat, trying to persuade the princess to release the tiger cub in her arms back into the forest for safety reasons. However, when I saw the princess' smiling face and cheerful look, I couldn't say anything else.

Magistrate Cai quietly approached Commander Song and whispered: "The tiger cub is about the same size as a cat, and it looks very cute now. However, it is a tiger after all, not a cat. The princess must be very special for raising such a tiger cub. Be careful not to get hurt by the tiger cubs.”

Song Yuan smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Magistrate Cai. With the princess's skills, it's no problem to capture the tiger alive. A mere cub can make the princess look happy for a while, so let the princess do it. In the future, the cubs will When you grow up, it’s never too late to deal with it.”

Magistrate Cai finally felt relieved and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the Lushe people who stayed at the camp led a group of personal guards to greet them.

"Princess went to the mountain in person today, thank you for your hard work." Lu Cong saluted with his hands in hand and couldn't help but look at the cub in the princess's arms.

There's nothing I can do about it. This cub, which is less than a foot long, is so furry and adorable. Especially the pattern on the forehead, if you look closely, it looks like the character "王"...

etc! King pattern!
A thought suddenly flashed through Lu Cong's mind, and his handsome and elegant face suddenly turned pale, and his voice trembled: "I dare to ask the princess, could this cub be..."

"It's a tiger cub!" Jiang Shaohua answered with a smile, and touched the tiger's head with his right hand: "I went into the mountain today and killed two tigers, and there is still this newborn tiger cub in the tiger den. I will carry him down the mountain and keep him to relieve his boredom."

Lu Cong: "..."

Shouldn’t raising tigers cause trouble? How come you can relieve your boredom by going to the princess?

Lu Cong's throat was a little tight, and he forced out a smile: "The princess is very courageous."

Jiang Shaohua smiled sweetly. Chen Jinyu looked at it with greedy eyes and took the initiative to share the princess's worries: "When the princess is busy and has no time to take care of Xiaohua, she will leave it to me. I will definitely share my worries for the princess."

Jiang Shaohua hugged her all the way, and when she was satisfied with her addiction, she smiled and gave the little flower to the greedy Chen Sheren.

Chen Jinyu hugged the little flower happily. Ma Yaozong was so smart. He immediately went to lead the female goat, while the two housekeepers went to the side to feed the tiger cubs. The scene was very harmonious.

Lu Cong was once again worried about his own fate.

The two servants beside the princess are both young and smart people, courageous, daring to think, do and fight, and they get along well with the princess. He, on the other hand, seemed particularly clumsy and out of place.

No, we can't go on like this.

He wants to change himself and find a way to integrate.

Lu Cong calmed down and asked the princess respectfully: "Princess, are you going back to the county office tonight?"

"I won't go back," Jiang Shaohua had obviously planned for a long time: "It's a rare chance to come back and live in the camp for a few days. It's just a good time to take advantage of this period to clear out the beasts in the mountains. From now on, people will be much safer when entering the mountains. "

"General Liu, it's up to you to arrange this matter."

Liu Hengchang perked up and accepted the order.

Nanyang County is now very peaceful, and even robbers and thieves are rare. The guards had been practicing all day long and were very idle. They just took advantage of this time to practice clearing away wild beasts.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and told Magistrate Cai: "You just go back to the county office and work as your errand. Come back in seven or eight days."

Magistrate Cai didn't say much. He simply agreed and led the officials back to the county seat.

……

Early the next morning, at dawn, the guards of the third battalion had already entered the mountain. There are 600 personal guards, 50 people per team, divided into 12 teams in total. Each team is divided into groups of ten. In this way, it is not only flexible but also ensures sufficient manpower when encountering ferocious beasts.

The guards all wore soft armor, carried bows and arrows, and held sharp blades such as spears or knives.

Jiang Shaohua did not go up the mountain today and stayed in the camp. Song Yuan led two hundred personal guards to guard the camp.

Jiang Shaohua and Chen Jinyu gathered together and watched Xiaohua burping and rolling on the ground while drinking milk. They kept laughing for half a day.

In the afternoon, the guards came down the mountain one after another. The bloody prey dragged down the mountain quickly piled up into a hill.

There were basically no goats, wild deer, chickens, and rabbits, but mostly deer, leopards, and two large wild boars with their fangs exposed.

It would be a pity to just throw away these wild animals for nothing.

Jiang Shaohua thought for a while and ordered his guards to peel off the furs of wild animals and take them back to make clothes to keep the guards warm in winter.

There was so much meat that even if eight hundred people worked hard to eat it, they couldn't finish it. Jiang Shaohua sent his personal guards to deliver two carts of meat to the county government office, and asked the county government officials to beat the meat as a sacrifice.

It had been like this for seven days in a row, and it was almost impossible to hear the roar of wild animals in the mountains and forests.

The rosy-faced magistrate Cai came to the foot of the mountain and said cheerfully: "Thank you very much, Princess, for ordering the guard camp to go into the mountains to hunt wild beasts. In the past few days, I have eaten a lot of meat and gained weight."

Jiang Shaohua pursed his lips and smiled: "My princess has stayed in Li County for so many days. It's time to set off. I won't go back to Li County."

"As soon as the spring plowing is over, we can start to open up the medicinal fields."

Magistrate Cai should be serious.

As he was talking, Meng Sanbao came to report excitedly: "To report to the princess, Commander Liu said that there was something harvested in the mountains today, and he wanted to report to the princess in person."

It doesn't matter whether you say he is steady or he has the government's scheming. In short, Liu Hengchang usually behaves steadily and rarely takes the initiative to report things. It is even more rare to use the word "harvest".

Jiang Shaohua became very curious and said with a smile: "Please come in, Commander Liu."

Magistrate Cai was very discerning and immediately stood up and resigned.

After a while, Liu Hengchang came in.

Behind him, in addition to Huang Xin and other personal soldiers, there was also a young personal guard.

Jiang Shaohua has an excellent memory and has a photographic memory. He glanced around and a name flashed in his mind: "Is this Li Tianxi?"

Liu Hengchang smiled and cupped his hands: "The princess has a good memory."

There is something special about being able to remember the faces and names of the more than two thousand personal guards by Jiang Shaohua. This Li Tianxi was not an old man from the Guards Battalion, but a recent recruit from the Third Battalion. Li Tianxi’s biological mother is Liu Hengchang’s cousin.

In other words, Li Tianxi is Liu Hengchang's nephew.

Liu Hengchang took care of his nephew. During this trip, Li Tianxi was brought out with him.

"Li Tianxi, you speak for yourself." Liu Hengchang ordered with a smile.

Li Tianxi is eighteen years old this year. He is not tall and has an ordinary appearance. He is quite courageous and is not timid when meeting the princess. Hearing the words, he took two steps forward and said loudly: "Princess Princess, I found a nest of goshawk chicks today."
