Chapter 97 Feeding the Deer (1)
"This? Is it auspicious beast?" At this moment, the only person inside and outside the house was probably Zhang Qian.
The moment he saw the auspicious beast, he recognized what animal he was. He almost called out the scientific name of the animal, the giraffe. However, remembering Zhang Jiuling's previous advice on the road, he had to tighten his mouth and look away, look at his nose and heart, and make a clay sculpture.
"Catch it, use a rope, and put its front hooves!" A chief clerk in the eighth-rank official uniform rushed in and directed four grooms holding ropes to "catch the giraffe" by catching horses. However, the giraffe had been too scared and fierce. When he saw someone approaching him, he immediately faced him. (Note: Mustang, National Nutrition Horse Farm.)
"Bang!" Being dragged by the official robe, the chief clerk of the pastoral supervisor was inconvenient to dodge and was knocked backwards. He had an intimate contact with the wall. In an instant, he vomited blood, and his life and death were uncertain.
The grooms were so scared that they were so powerful that they quickly dropped the rope and turned around to escape, but were caught up by the giraffe from behind. One hoof was all kicked, and they all broke their bones. (Note: The giraffe is gentle, but it is amazing when it starts to be so powerful. There are videos of kicking the lion over in reality.)
Several more palace guards who rushed to the palace decisively bent their bows and arrows. Before they could pull the bow strings, a angrily shout suddenly came from the steps of the main entrance of Zichen Palace, "Bold, put down the bow and arrow. Injure the auspicious beast, do you want to cause natural disasters to the Tang Dynasty?"
Looking at the swearer, he was about fifty years old, with more than half of his hair, but he had red lips and white teeth, and wouldow eyebrows and almond eyes. If he wasn't Zong Chuke, the Minister of War, who else?
Immediately, the guards put away their horn bows and were speechless. The giraffe may have noticed that there were many people on the guards, or that they could have heard Zong Chuke scolding and mistakenly regarded him as a predator like a jackal. He suddenly turned his head, stepped on four long legs as thick as pillars, and headed straight to the door of Zichen Palace.
"Help--" Minister of War Zong Chuke was so scared that his soul was lit up. He screamed and turned around and fled into the hall, "Close the door, close the door quickly, the emperor is inside!"
"Rescue Jia——" a loud shout sounded in Zhang Qian's ears. Zhou Jianliang, the Shuofang Army general who had asked him about the specific details and usage of "gunpowder", rushed out in one step and headed straight for the giraffe's front legs.
When he entered the palace to accept the summons, he handed over his weapons when he was at the gate of the palace. All he could rely on was a pair of fists. The giraffe, when he saw someone running towards him, decisively raised his front hooves again.
"Bang" Before being kicked by a giraffe, Zhou Jianliang suddenly came in a slant. With his countless experiences of rolling between life and death, he barely avoided the huge deer hooves. On the ground where he had passed by, he was stepped on and broke bricks jumped around, and cracks spread around like spider webs.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" The giraffe was frightened too much and could not find a direction for escape. He missed a blow and immediately regarded Zhou Jianliang, who was closest to him, as a life-and-death enemy. He turned his body to chase him, constantly raising his legs and stomping on him.
"Brother Zhou, run to the high place, run to the high place, and get out of the front. The giraffe is all tilted to the front hoof and will not bite people!" I couldn't bear to see a hero who had been guarding the border for many years, dying insanely under the frightened deer hoof. Zhang Qian instinctively opened his voice and shouted loudly.
However, his voice was quickly drowned in a panic clamor.
"Save the help, hurry up and save the help, come here and block the palace gate. The emperor is inside, so you can't let this ferocious beast hurt the emperor!"
"You said, "Where are you, come here, don't hide!"
Seeing that Zhou Jianliang would die at any time, several eunuchs and officials dressed up as men did not order the guards to help. Instead, they jumped and opened their throats to shout everyone in their sight to block the main entrance of Zichen Palace.
"Put the bow and arrow away, hurt the auspicious beast, you are the only one who asks!"
...
"That scar-faced military man, don't hurt the auspicious beast. Find a way to lead the auspicious beast outward. It will lead it to the open space in front of Hanyuan Shop and remember you a wonderful achievement!"
The last sentence finally involved Zhou Jianliang, the Shuofang Army's other general, not urged him to be careful of his life, but was afraid that he would hurt the giraffe and delay some people from continuing to offer good fortune.
Zhou Jianliang was already fistless and was already forced into a mess by the crazy giraffe. He was struggling to support him with all his loyalty to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Suddenly, he heard the eunuchs and officials' orders, and his eyes were so angry that he turned black. His hands and feet were instantly slowing down half a beat.
The auspicious beast mentioned by the eunuchs and officials would not let Zhou Jianliang go just because he heard the order prohibiting harm to him. Seeing that the other party's dodging movement suddenly slowed down, he accelerated and rushed forward a few steps, raised his face and smashed it alternately like an iron hammer.
"It's over-" Zhang Jiuling and others closed their eyes in pain, not daring to see Zhou Jianliang's appearance being smashed into meat paste.
However, the screams did not appear for a long time. The sound of iron hooves hitting the ground suddenly slowed down, from a drum to a rhythmic knock, and then it turned into a hesitant knock, "Bang, bang-bang-bang-bang-bang", which only appeared again after a long time.
Everyone opened their eyes in surprise and saw that the strange beast actually gave up the pursuit of Zhou Jianliang, turned his head, and looked at a blue official robe that everyone was familiar with.
The official in the green robe held a Qipan with one hand and threw the oranges, citrus, candied fruits and other things that were originally sent to everyone to wait for time towards the strange beast one after another. Every move was extremely gentle.
"Use Zhao!" Zhang Jiuling's heart suddenly raised the throat again, but he did not dare to shout too loudly, for fear of disturbing the strange beast and causing Zhang Qian to die under the iron hoof.
Zhang Qian, after throwing away a few fruit candied fruits, disturbing the attention of the strange beast, actually raised the entire Qipan with both hands, slowly raised it over his head, and less than ten feet away, in a very gentle voice, he invited the strange beast, "Come on, don't be afraid, eat. Eat a little, I know you are hungry. Come on, you're welcome, I'll treat you..."
"Use Zhao——" Zhou Jianliang, who had escaped from death, saw his eyes split, but he gritted his teeth and stopped, not daring to disturb Zhang Qian's mind.
"Zhang Zhubu--" The green budgies who had been waiting for "chasing" with Zhang Qian, also covered their mouths with their hands and stared at his every move without blinking. They were afraid that they would make a sound from their mouths, which would make him lose all his efforts.
However, Zhang Qian did not notice the movements of the people around him. He slowly retreated with sweat all over his head. While retreating, he continued to invite the giraffe, "Come on, eat a little, don't be polite. I guess it doesn't suit your taste, but it's better to eat grass."
I was impulsive and impulsive. I originally wanted to use food to interfere with the giraffe's attention, but I didn't expect that I would not kill Zhou Jianliang. I actually attracted all the giraffe's attention to myself!
Others don’t know the attack power of a giraffe, but Zhang Qian knows it clearly. A grown-up giraffe doesn’t have to be gentle, but they can get angry and kick the lion’s waist with one hoof.
However, no matter how fast your legs are, you will definitely not be able to escape the four thick legs of the giraffe. So, although the voices of his speech changed tone, Zhang Qian could only continue to bite the bullet and support him, "Come on the ground and those on the ground are delicious. You can calm down. It's not easy for you to eat more food to help ensure your body temperature. Who can do me a favor? Get more fruits and candied fruits. It's best to bring a little salty taste, it's rare to eat salt once!"
The following sentences were obviously said to the humans around them. Although the voice was very low and a little trembling, everyone heard it clearly.
Immediately, Zhou Jianliang hugged his waist and leaned against the wall, heading straight to the wing room where everyone had been waiting for "chasing the wing". In the wing room, Zhang Jiuling and others handed out all the snacks and fruits prepared for the officials on plates.
"Come on, eat a little, don't be afraid. Yes, don't be afraid. Look, I'm shorter than you and I don't have a knife in my hand." Zhang Qian couldn't take care of anyone who heard his request for help. While focusing most of his attention, he stared at the giraffe's reaction, he continued to slowly retreat. He always kept a long distance from the latter.
