Chapter 169 The two brothers of the Jie family

There were tigers in the mountains outside Dengzhou City. The prefect of Dengzhou summoned hunters from all over the state and ordered them to catch the tiger within three days.

By chance, there was a family of hunters near the mountain where the tiger disaster occurred. There were two brothers.

The brothers all have amazing military strength, and their weapons are steel forks with iron points. They are good at crossing mountains and ridges, hunting rabbits and chasing deer, and even dare to go up the mountain to catch tigers. They are famous hunters in Dengzhou.

"Brother, why are there so many tigers on this mountain?" Xie Bao swallowed, and looked at Xie Zhen who was also wearing a tiger skin.

Xie Zhen frowned, and he couldn't figure out how this group of tigers migrated here: "Brother, don't talk, these beasts are so powerful, just now a big one smashed a big rock with a slap."

"Then what should we do? The magistrate ordered us to catch this tiger within three days, but it's not one, it's more than ten."

Xie Bao held a steel fork with a point of iron, and looked at the tigers passing by from time to time. He felt that he was not looking at the group of tigers.

Instead, he was stared at by this group of tigers, and kept passing by the gap in the cliff where they were hiding.

With a dark face, Xie Zhen watched another fierce tiger pass by roaring, and there was a smaller tiger beside it.

The ancestors said that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, why is it not working?
Xie Zhen said slowly: "Make some traps. We have been guarding them for a day and a night. When we are hungry, we eat cooking cakes."

Xie Bao was in a dilemma immediately: "Brother, the number of times the worms come is too high, and we'll show up as soon as we go out."

Xie Zhen thought for a while and then said: "Then we use drugged bows and arrows and increase the Mongolian sweat medicine. A tiger is worth 1000 taels."

"it is good!"

But suddenly, the surrounding atmosphere changed.

At this moment, everything is quiet, the birds don't sing anymore, the insects don't sing anymore, they are as silent as a chilling cicada!

Xie Zhen could almost smell the smell of blood, the tiger was coming.

A gust of wind blew, and Xie Zhen and Xie Bao immediately rolled on the spot without even thinking about it, and at the same time threw some sundries back in their hands.

Xie Zhen moved sideways so quickly that she didn't even have time to grab the steel fork.

Taking a closer look, Xie Zhen was immediately terrified, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on her forehead!

I saw a ferocious beast biting and tearing some sundries discarded by Jie Zhen.

Striped, yellow and black, this is a fierce tiger!
The muscles of the whole body are well-organized, and following the tiger's movements, it flows like flowing water on the tiger's smooth fur.

Still a tiger in his prime, a king of beasts!
'Roar'

After a tiger roar, Xie Zhen felt the pressure doubled.

The tiger moved vigorously and made a fierce save.

At this time, Jie Bao crept up quietly, trying to help Xie Zhen cope.

Xie Zhen made a gesture, and Xie Bao picked up the bow and arrow and aimed.

The tiger seemed to be aware of something, his body tensed up suddenly, he stared at the direction of the bow and arrow, and slowly retreated.Xie Zhen took the opportunity to quickly pick up the black iron knife, and the tiger saw Xie Zhen's movement, and immediately jumped up to kill Xie Zhen.

Xie Zhen wowed, and immediately rolled quickly, he was too close to the tiger, the tiger's claws almost tore Xie Zhen's clothes.

Jie Bao didn't care anymore, he immediately shot an arrow, retreated, distanced himself, and shot at the tiger, but the tiger jumped over and dodged the arrow!
"Roar"

The tiger roared loudly, shook its head and tail, and kept turning around, as if looking for an opportunity to bite the two of them.

The arrow tips of the two brothers moved with the movement of the tiger, and Xie Zhen saw the tiger's intention, it wanted to consume their physical strength.

Archery is a very strenuous task, and it is difficult to maintain the posture of drawing the bow for a long time.

After a while, it seemed like a year had passed, and the tiger was still circling.

"Fire arrows!"

They couldn't wait any longer and instantly let go and let go of the arrow.

"Whoosh, whoosh" the arrows whizzed away. Although the tiger was very agile, a few arrows still hit it at such a close distance.

'Ouch' screamed in pain, and Xie Zhen was immediately overjoyed. After waiting for a long time, she finally got this opportunity.

With a sound of "Wow", he picked up the steel fork and rushed up.

Unexpectedly, this tiger rushed towards Xie Zhen.

With a sudden lunge, Xie Zhen immediately rolled to avoid it. At the same time, he made a fork with his backhand, and the fork penetrated the tiger's abdomen. Blood immediately flowed out. Before Jie Zhen could get proud, the tiger's tail, which was as thick as an iron rod, hit him. body.

"Wow" Xie Zhen spurted blood immediately, the tiger's tail was too strong.

"Brother!" Xie Bao roared, continued to shoot arrows, then dropped the bow and arrow, grabbed the steel fork and was about to stab the tiger in the head.

"Wait a minute! There's a tiger under the sword!!!" A loud shout and several bang bang bang sounds came from the forest.

Xie Bao was kicked away.

Xie Zhen was lifted up.

There was also the fierce tiger, which was held tightly by two powerful men and could not move.

"Fortunately, we arrived in time." Lin Youde was frightened when he saw the tiger's abdominal injury.

These beasts are too powerful.

"My lord, what should we do with these two people?" Zhu Wu supported Xie Zhen, Lin Chong supported Xie Bao, and pulled them to Lin Youde.

"Lord Dalin, we came to fight the tiger in the name of the magistrate." Xie Zhen saw who was coming, and seeing that it was Lin Youde who was called the blessing of Dengzhou people by the people before, she immediately knelt down and worshiped.

"Get up. You two have good skills, since you can hurt a tiger." Lin Youde was full of curiosity towards the two brothers holding forks.

When ordinary people see tigers, they are usually so frightened that their legs go limp, and those who have the courage to turn around and run away are not bad.

But the two of them were of the same age, with muscles all over their bodies, and judging from the arrow feathers on the ground, they were both practicing masters.

"What's your name?"

"My lord, I'm Xie Zhen. This is my younger brother Xie Bao. We are hunters from the next mountain." Xie Zhen bit the bullet and pointed at her younger brother.

Lin Youde said in surprise, "Two-headed snake? Two-tailed scorpion?"

"Yes, it is."

Lin Youde took a deep look at the two of them and said, "Do you know how the tigers on this mountain got here?"

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao looked at each other.

Lin Youde rubbed his chin and said: "It's just right, I'm still worried about the lack of manpower. No one can watch over this group of tigers and prevent others from breaking in like you, or you two can follow me."

Xie Zhen said, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Xie Bao immediately pressed down and said: "If you offend my lord, our brothers will naturally make amends to you. My lord, we will do whatever you ask us to do."

Lin Youde nodded and said, "Yes, do you have family members?"

Xie Bao was taken aback: "Does it count if there is a girl you like?"

Xie Zhen stared and exploded: "A girl in a brothel, you still want to redeem her body?"

Xie Bao had no choice but to shut up.

Lin Youde waved his hand, and Wu Song took out a hundred taels of silver from his pocket, and said, "This is from your lord. In three days, there will be a big ship going to Gaogouli. Then you will go to Gaoguli with a tiger." Gouli, we must raise these tigers until they are white and fat."

"Ah." Xie Zhen was stunned.

Holding 100 taels of silver in his hand, Xie Bao stared blankly at Lin Youde and the others who turned and left.

Suddenly, he shouted: "My lord, I have a merciless request!"

With a "click", three money bags fell in front of the two brothers' eyes. When they opened it, they found that there were more than a thousand taels.

"This..." Xie Zhen swallowed.

Xie Bao blushed, and then said weakly: "I just want to ask how to find you."

"After three days, just wait here." Yang Zhi, who was hiding in the dark, appeared, and disappeared again after seeing the two of them.

Lin Youde ordered 500 scouts and [-] heavy armored cavalry to guard the mountain, with Yang Zhi, Wu Song, and Zhu Wu sitting in command.

When Shenzhou, which came to Dengzhou for trade from Gaogouli, arrived, the 20 tigers were transported there immediately.

After all, this is the Song Dynasty, and it is an official place, so it can't be too casual.

But in Lin Youde's fiefdom, it is still no problem to build a Tiger Mountain.

Lin Youde wants ten thousand tigers to form an army! !
