After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 162 The Tiger in Berserk Mode

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel dismounted, leaving Shen Zhiyi, who was left on horseback, to cry and wail.

"Ahhh, I want to go down too! I want to go down too!"

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel looked at the horse and then at the ground.

"At that height, you won't die from a fall."

"But it will hurt terribly."

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel extended his hand, and the Crown Prince revealed a subtle smile, the next second...

"Ouch."

That damn stingy bastard actually pushed me down!

I'm going to draw a circle and curse you!

[No, I'm going to tattle! I'm going to tell the old emperor about how you cursed him before bed, calling him a miser.]

The prince took a piece of baked flatbread from the bag at his back and took a big bite.

That's awesome, so awesome! I never expected Yan Chen to complain about his father.

He nudged the newly appointed Minister of Personnel with his shoulder.

"Let's have a drink sometime."

The implication is that if you want to complain, don't just complain alone, let's complain together.

Alone Better Together.

"Your Highness, I refuse."

At that moment, the old emperor, who was drinking tea and enjoying the scenery, sneezed loudly.

"Alright, alright."

The Crown Prince spread his hands regretfully, his gaze falling on Shen Zhiyi who was getting up, and he pulled her along.

"Shen Lang, how about I teach you how to ride a horse? It's actually very simple. I learned it in no time."

[Heh, I refuse. The old emperor just threw you on his horse; if you didn't learn, you'd crash into a tree and die. Driven by the instinct for survival, human potential is enormous.]

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I think I'm fine the way I am now."

"Wow, Your Highness is truly amazing! With both deer and wild geese, you are undoubtedly the champion."

The General of the Cavalry immediately confronted the tiger, hoping for a Wu Song-style tiger-fighting spectacle, but the tiger seemed to be acting strangely.

[It's like it's activated berserk mode.]

[No, no, there's more than one tiger that's gone berserk; another one is running towards the old emperor.]

Those present, who were initially somewhat relaxed, immediately tensed up upon hearing Shen Zhiyi's words.

The prince swiftly mounted his horse.

With a shout of "Giddy up!" it sped away.

Everyone mounted their horses at lightning speed, leaving Shen Zhiyi and Vice Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites staring at each other.

Vice Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites: "Shen Lang, I think it is very necessary for us to learn how to ride horses."

What a great achievement! Even if he just stood there, he could have made a name for himself, but he can't ride a horse.

Just as Vice Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites was grieving, he heard the sound of horses' hooves again.

His eyes lit up. Had someone come back to pick them up?

"what."

Who's shouting again?

Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites stiffly turned his head and found that Shen Zhiyi, who had been standing next to him, was gone.

What about people? !

【Ughhhhh, why is this stingy guy grabbing me like this? I don't want to go into such a dangerous situation.】

Meanwhile, on the other side, the old emperor, who had just taken a sip of his health-preserving tea, heard a tiger's roar in his ear.

He said, "A tiger actually went missing from the forest this year? Not bad, not bad. Judging from that voice, it must be a tough one. I wonder who will be able to hunt it down this year."

"Then it is undoubtedly His Highness the Crown Prince."

The old emperor's lips twitched, and he shook his head, saying, "Him? Forget it. Of all the things he hunted in previous years, only rabbits were caught by him. Oh dear, why are the sounds of tigers getting closer and closer?"

How could I not get close? I'm practically glued to you! Are you going to die, old emperor? I'm about to be feasting at your banquet!

The old emperor turned around and panicked for a moment when he saw the tiger pouncing on him. He quickly regained his composure and threw whatever was next to him at the tiger.

[Wow, still going strong even in old age!]

[Next up is the epic tale of the emperor dodging a tiger! Although our old emperor is over fifty and has one foot in the grave, it's alright. The still agile emperor ducks low and dodges the tiger's pounce.]

[The tiger, enraged and humiliated, scratched the ground with its front paws, already regarding the old emperor as its meal.]

[Roar! The Crown Prince has also joined the battle.]

Everyone listened in silence as Shen Zhiyi's explanation echoed in their minds.

With such close-up views, there's no need for your explanation.

"Hurry and come to the rescue!"

Chen Decai straightened his hat and shouted to the sky.

Shen Zhiyi raised her head, only to be slammed back down the next second.

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel drew an arrow from his back and shot it directly at the tiger in its berserk mode.

[Anesthesia would be more effective; this arrow seems useless.]

If one isn't enough, then get a few more.

Finally, the tiger was riddled with arrows, and upon seeing this, the Dragon Scale Guard immediately took out his knife and ruthlessly severed the tiger's head.

The old emperor shoved the Dragon Scale Guard aside again, snatched the knife, and slashed the tiger from above and below.

Wow, the old emperor is so handsome!

The old emperor, who was originally furious, calmed down a little when he heard Shen Zhiyi's words.

But I'm still angry.

He punched and kicked the tiger lying on the ground, which was exhaling more than inhaling.

"Investigate! Investigate for me! Find out who it is!"

Everyone knows that the old emperor is counting on Shen Zhiyi.

Shen Zhiyi was led to stand next to the old emperor, and the dedicated woman did not forget that she still had to write the daily records of his life.

This was amazing! I never thought I'd see a live dragon-slaying performance.

[Those people are really something. Wasn't it better to follow the old emperor? They'd rather be poor and hungry themselves than let the people suffer too much. What was so good about the previous dynasty?]

They were actually from the previous dynasty.

The people present fell silent. They had thought that the rebel forces had been almost completely wiped out, but they hadn't expected that there were still some who had slipped through the net.

The General of the Cavalry, who had rushed over, knelt directly before the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue, but I will bring you the heads of those rebels."

It seems the old emperor is about to lose another son and grandson.

Old Emperor: ? ? ?

What? Wasn't he a rebel from the previous dynasty? How did his son get involved?

Damn it, for the first time he felt that having too many children was not good at all. He should have just had a few in the first place.

The son of Prince Li was not actually Prince Li's son, but rather a crown prince from the previous dynasty.

The Crown Prince made empty promises to Prince Li, saying that as long as the emperor was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he would immediately lead his rebel army to force the emperor to abdicate and support him as the new emperor. As for himself?

As the son of Prince Li, he is naturally the next emperor; Prince Li will only need to ascend the throne before he is made crown prince.

Shen Zhiyi wore a hesitant expression.

[How humorous! Did all the brains of the old emperor's many children end up in the crown prince's head?]

Crown Prince: Thank you for the compliment.

But how did the heir apparent of the Prince of Li suddenly become the heir apparent of the previous dynasty?

Everyone was puzzled by this, but Shen Zhiyi didn't say anything more.
