Under Yuan Gen's shocked eyes, Murong Fu strode out. After being stunned for a moment, Yuan Gen finally came to his senses and shouted urgently: "Layholder, layman, you must not take any risks!"

But how could Murong Fu take his words to heart?

Although Murong Fu had no ill feelings towards this old monk who had no pretensions and was kind-hearted, he also had his own plans.

When he heard Li Qianyuan say that he had caught a fierce tiger, Murong Fu guessed this possibility. He just felt that this little trick was a bit too immature. He thought that although Li Qianyuan was ineffective, he was still a member of a noble family, right? Not so imbecile, right?

Facts have proved that he still overestimated the other party.

When Murong Fu walked outside the main hall, several rows of people were already standing on the steps outside the palace. This group of Xixia's important civil and military ministers were gathered together like onlookers watching the excitement in the market.

Even at this moment, it can be seen that the different groups of people are clearly distinguished. The civil servants stand together, and the generals occupy a corner. The two people form a semicircle surrounding a huge cage. Inside the cage, a sturdy tiger was staring at the group of gorgeously dressed people in front of him with its huge eyes, its cold eyes showing a formidable chill.

The tiger was obviously hungry. Seeing so many people so close, it dared to pull the cage with its claws and pounce in the direction of the crowd.

Fortunately, the cage was big enough, and the fence of the cage was made of fine iron railings as thick as a human forearm. Although the tiger was frightening, it couldn't even scratch a scratch on the cage, and it was just a waste of effort.

After playing tricks for a while, the tiger in the cage seemed to realize that it was not strong enough to break free from the shackles in front of it, so it gave up this futile behavior. Its huge head drooped on the ground, with a pair of green tiger eyes. It was still staring intently at the group of natural enemies in front of it that should have been its prey, but had trapped it in this small place without freedom.

More than two hundred high-ranking dignitaries from Xixia stood around the small cage in admiration. Most of them could not resist the tiger's attack. Once the tiger got out of its trap, many of them would disperse in a rush. Just because there was such a small cage as a barrier, he showed his bravery in front of this beast, nervously and excitedly talking about the king of beasts in front of him, and boasting about glorious deeds that did not exist.

One of the military attaches praised loudly: "Even with a sword at your side, it is very difficult to kill a tiger, let alone capture it alive? Seeing how fierce this beast is, I don't know how many people and animals have lost their lives under its claws. The young prince was able to capture this evil beast alive, and with such bravery, even the famous general Li Cunxiao of the past could not compare to the young prince!"

As a famous general in the late Tang Dynasty, Li Cunxiao once killed thirteen generals of Li Tang Dynasty in one day. It is said that when he was fourteen years old, he killed a tiger with his own hands and saved his father. There has always been a saying that a king cannot be more powerful than Li, and the military attache said that Li Qianyuan was better than Li Cunxiao, which can be said to be flattering.

Everyone present knew what level this young prince was. If he were to say that he could capture a tiger alive, even ten more would not be enough. However, they all knew it tacitly and were too lazy to reveal it. However, people like this man were eager to flatter him. It's worn, but it's still unique.

Seeing the disdainful glances from everyone, the man didn't feel any embarrassment. Instead, he straightened his chest and raised his head, and leaned closer to the young prince.

This person is none other than Taoist Jiuyi.

Looking at the nine-winged Taoist who was actively flattering, Murong Fu's contempt for this guy could be said to be at its peak: After all, you are also a well-known martial arts master for a long time. How can you do such an unclassy thing? Yunzhong Hedu More moral than you!

Li Qianyuan seemed to be very proud. He cast an admiring look at the flattering Jiuyi Taoist, and then shamelessly talked about how he bravely fought the tiger, which was quite similar to Sun Shiwan's demeanor as the tiger-fighting master. .

Li Yuansheng listened to his son's boastful talk. Although he knew what was going on in his heart, his face was very happy and he praised: "My son is so brave, he will definitely become the pillar of our country in the future. This is the blessing of the lonely family and the blessing of Daxia!"

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Qianyuan smiled and said: "Father, you are so ridiculous. The child is still young, how can he bear such praise? But there is indeed an important thing for the child to bring this evil beast today!"

Li Yuan Sheng smiled and said, "What's important to my son? Just say it!"

Li Qianyuan said: "Father, King Rongzhen: I am lucky enough to subdue this evil beast. Today, all the virtuous people in Daxia have gathered, and the young and old have gathered together. I specially want to take this opportunity to test the bravery of my warriors in Daxia!"

Li Yuan Sheng became interested and said with a smile: "How to test? Can you tell me?"

Li Qianyuan glanced at Murong Fu for a few times, and then he showed a smile of relief.

"I have always heard that our Great Xia Yipin Hall has gathered all the masters from all over the world, and everyone who enters the First Grade Hall is a first grade. Therefore, I dare to ask my father to request a decree from His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia. If the warriors of the First Grade Hall can subdue this tiger in public today, then I am conferring the title of Marquis, and I will forever be the Duke of Great Xia from generation to generation, regardless of hereditary succession!"

As soon as Li Qianyuan said these words, the crowd immediately exploded. They were surprised by Li Qianyuan's bold and whimsical actions, and were also moved by the other party's proposal.

The honor of a marquis is hereditary!

This is obviously something more exciting than the ordinary high-ranking official and generous salary. After all, even if you reach a high place through hard work, there is no guarantee that a few unscrupulous descendants will not be born in the future, and the foundation that the ancestors have worked so hard to build will be wasted in one day. But having a hereditary title is different.

Even among the royal family, only a few people have titles, and in most cases, this thing depends entirely on the reincarnation technology. What you are born with is what you will be until death.

After all, these civil servants and generals had seen the world, and they didn't behave too rudely, but they couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes.

To be honest, Murong Fu was even slightly tempted for a moment. His Murong family ancestors did have figures like Murong Yanzhao, the prince of Henan Province, but in his generation they were just ordinary people. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to get yourself a title in the Song Dynasty, and even if you have a title, you have no actual power or fiefdom.

If it were Murong Fu before, he might have already taken action now.

But Murong Fu's mind only fluctuated slightly, and he felt that his idea was a bit too funny.

After hearing Li Qianyuan's words, Li Yuansheng's face changed and he said angrily: "Nonsense! How can I be granted the title of Daxia so easily? Even if it is to be granted, the decision-making power is still in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor. How can I tolerate a child like you? Do you act arbitrarily? Today is a big banquet. I will not hold you accountable for your nonsense for the time being. If it happens again, you will definitely be held accountable!"

How could Li Qianyuan be willing to let a good show that he had prepared for a long time go to waste so easily? He started arguing with his father. Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, the arrival of a person ended the situation.

"His Majesty the Emperor's decree!"

A high-pitched voice attracted everyone's attention. This man was dressed as a eunuch, and the color of his clothes was obviously of high rank, and he was a valet of the emperor.

After hearing the emperor's decree, everyone bowed down and saluted.

"His Majesty the Emperor orally! I am very relieved to hear that the Crown Prince of Nan'an tested our Daxia Yipintang warriors with fierce tigers in front of the Yongxing Palace. In order to commend the Daxia warriors and help my Daxia martial virtues prosper. I promise that anyone who can surrender today with my bare hands will Those who are ferocious tigers will be given a thousand taels of gold, and the tiger will be named a mighty lord, and he will forever be my fierce warrior in the Great Xia, hereditary and irreplaceable!"

This time it was like throwing a piece of ice into a frying pan, and the crowd exploded. Except for a handful of nobles who have been high-ranking officials and well-paid for generations, everyone present showed a hint of emotion, but the cold gaze of the tiger instantly cooled their heated minds.

When they heard about subduing the tiger, many people were eager to try it, especially the heavily armed generals. For them, with full armor and their own bravery, it may not be impossible to subdue a tiger, but when they heard that it was with bare hands, most of them were discouraged.

Just kidding, having armor and not having armor are completely different things, okay?

At first, some people were still unconvinced when they heard that only people from Yipintang were allowed to take action. After hearing this condition, almost everyone suppressed the restlessness in their hearts.

Everyone turned their attention to the two dozen masters with special skills in the First Grade Hall. These people usually saw the dragon but never saw it, and they were famous for their strong martial arts. It was not certain that they could really subdue the tiger.
