After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 428 Tiger roaring in the forest
Niuniu carefully put away the half tiger talisman and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Emperor, if we can't escape, can I just throw this thing in the woods?"

The emperor was about to say that this was not possible, but then he changed his mind and decided that rather than having the item fall into the hands of thieves, he would rather have this half tiger talisman remain in the depths of the dense forest.

"Okay." said the emperor.

Niu Niu casually threw half of the tiger talisman into the tree hole behind her, kicked it again, and buried it with sand, leaving no trace.

The emperor looked at the girl's smooth movements, which were as skillful as if she had done it many times before. "What if you can run back to the capital? These thieves are targeting me. If you have the chance, you can run away secretly."

Niuniu said: "My legs are so short, how far can I run?"

The emperor was unable to refute for a moment, and could only say: "My dear, it is I who have dragged you down."

Niuniu didn't understand the principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, so she just said, "Uncle Emperor, I asked to come to the enclosure. If anything goes wrong, it's my own fault. I can't blame you."

The little girl told the truth and she felt that the emperor could not be blamed.

The emperor did not spend the whole time chatting with the little girl. He was also good at martial arts and went to help the guards.

But the emperor had only four fighters, while there were ten masked men, all of whom were skilled in martial arts. Soon, the guards were at a disadvantage.

"We will protect your majesty to the death!" the captain of the guards shouted.

He acted like a fearless person, but it was of no avail. Instead, he got more and more scars on his body.

Niu Niu's eyes were sore. She had only spent two short days with the captain of the guards, but he was a cheerful man who would make small animals out of wild grass to cheer her up. Now the captain of the guards looked like a bloody man, but he still stood in front of them and refused to retreat.

"I...I...don't want to..." Niu Niu's nose was red and her tears were like beads that had broken off the string.

She felt that she couldn't bear to watch so many people die in front of her. After a brief struggle, she decided to put her parents' instructions behind her and make a wish in her heart.

"I want everyone to be safe." Niu Niu said silently in her heart.

A long howl suddenly resounded throughout the forest.

"Big beast!" someone said.

A figure as tall as a mountain appeared not far away.

Although everyone had not yet seen each other's true appearance, the suffocating pressure made everyone couldn't help but breathe lighter.

A moment later, a huge white-browed tiger with hanging eyes emerged from the leaves in the forest, revealing its true appearance.

"How can a tiger grow so big!" someone shouted.

It’s not like everyone hasn’t seen ordinary tigers, but this tiger is nearly twice as big as the other one. With every step it takes, it feels like the entire forest is shaking.

No one expected that such a big creature was hidden deep in the royal enclosure.

You know, every time the emperor went hunting he would check for hidden dangers in advance. How come such a big tiger was not checked out?

The captain of the guards smelled the strong smell of blood around him. Wild beasts are most easily affected by blood. He was badly injured and was afraid that the other party would not let him go. Despair rose in his heart.

The tiger suddenly moved, and with a whirring sound, it appeared in front of everyone in a few strides.

When such a huge monster approached, the masked man was so scared that he couldn't help but take a step back.

What no one expected was that the tiger jumped a few times and then pounced directly over.

But contrary to expectations, the big tiger did not pounce on the three bloody guards, but attacked the masked assassin.

The assassins were full of doubts at this time.

"What's wrong with this big beast? Instead of attacking the wounded, it's coming for us?" "Could it be that the king of beasts doesn't eat the weak?"

The assassins' confused thoughts did not last long, because this tiger was indeed different.

Although ordinary tigers are agile, they cannot bring such terrifying suppressive power.

The tiger seemed to know who its target was. It raised its claws and grabbed the masked assassins. It was not in a hurry to eat them. Instead, it used its claws to scratch and bite them, seriously injuring several of them.

The masked assassins wanted to fight back, but the weapons in their hands didn't even leave a mark on the tiger, and they couldn't cut the opponent's fur at all.

Gradually, the assassins began to retreat.

The assassin leader rolled his eyes and said, "Retreat first, the big bug will eat them!"

A group of people fought and retreated. After they were far away from the battlefield, they did not leave immediately, but wanted to see how the tiger eats people.

But the tiger refused to agree and chased after him again.

The assassins left, and so did the tiger. Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Niuniu immediately ran to the chief guard and asked, "Uncle, how are you?"

The chief guard was the most seriously injured, and his breathing was already weak, but he still hadn’t forgotten his duty: “Escort… Escort His Majesty and Niuniu back to the palace… Don’t worry about me!”

He asked everyone to leave him here.

Everyone was shaking their heads vigorously.

Niuniu cried and said, "Let's go back together. There is an imperial doctor in the palace who will definitely be able to save you!"

The captain of the guard looked at Niu Niu gently and shook his head.

"Don't worry about me... I'll be fine after a good sleep..."

When a person is about to die, countless scenes will flash before his eyes. The captain of the guards saw his deceased father, his sick mother, and his younger brothers and sisters.

He thought to himself that he had died to protect His Majesty, and His Majesty would definitely treat his family well. The only thing he felt sorry for was his wife, who had not yet married him. They were supposed to get married in the spring of next year...

"Your Majesty, I beg you to allow us to escort you back home!" The other two guards knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with tears.

The captain of the guards was always at the front. The injuries of the two guards were not particularly serious and they still had the strength to fight.

Their horses had already run into the woods when the tiger appeared and had long since disappeared. Now no one knew when the masked assassins would return, so they had to hurry and leave this troubled place.

The emperor looked at the captain of the guards deeply. Even though he was unwilling, he still had to make the sacrifice.

"I will grant you the title of Earl of Yongyi, and I will also make arrangements for your brothers and sisters." The emperor solemnly promised.

The captain of the guards' eyelids, which were about to close, suddenly lit up. If he had not been so exhausted, he would have wanted to stand up and express his gratitude.

But as soon as everyone turned around, they saw a horrifying scene.

No one knew when the tiger had turned back, and in a few leaps it was blocking the crowd's way.

The tiger's mouth and claws were covered in blood, which made people very suspicious about the fate of the masked assassins.

"My life is over!" a guard whispered.

The tiger did not come forward to eat people, and the others did not dare to move for a while. Two guards stood in front of the emperor and Niu Niu.

But what no one expected was that Niu Niu suddenly squeezed out from her safe position and walked towards the tiger.

"My dear, come back!" The emperor became anxious when he saw this scene.
