Chapter 187: Conspiring with the tiger. Stop conspiring and run!
When the golden tabby came out of the cage, the eunuchs and palace maids were already trembling with fear and stood there not daring to move.

Because Emperor Zhengde was going to give it to Ou Zanghua, when this thing was lifted out, its head was pointed at the two of them.

So the big cat fell in love with the handsome and extraordinary Tanhua Lang and the mentally retarded Emperor Zhengde at first sight.
Looking at this huge cat that was nearly ten feet long from head to tail and whose head was as big as a millstone, Ou Zanghua was so moved that he almost cried.

Emperor Zhengde was such a good friend that he gave the biggest Siberian tiger as a gift!
"Your Majesty, was it fed when you brought it here?" Ou Zanghua asked in a low voice as he was stared at by the big cat's cold, greedy and focused eyes.

Emperor Zhengde looked at the big cat with a little excitement, and said calmly: "No! I thought that if Ou Qing feeds it personally, it will strengthen your connection with it."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

"Your mother doesn't need to thank me, just you."

At this moment, the big cat was probably very hungry. It pressed its two paws on the ground, squatted slightly, and then pounced upwards, jumping down from mid-air.

It's too late, but it's soon.

When Ou Zanghua and Emperor Zhengde saw the big cat pouncing on them, they dodged in different directions and avoided the big cat's attack.

Emperor Zhengde landed behind the big cat, while Ou Zanghua landed on the side of the big cat.

It was most difficult for the big cat to see people from behind, so it put its front paws on the ground and lifted its hips, stirring up a fishy wind.

Emperor Zhengde dodged and moved aside, while slapping the big cat.

With a "pa!" sound, a deep palm print was left on the golden shaded fish. If it hit a person, it would probably lead to reincarnation into another world.

Obviously, this slap angered the big cat. It opened its mouth and roared:
"Roar!!!"

The tiger's roar shocked all around, as if the imperial palace was shaking twice.

The ministers who had walked some distance stopped and looked back at the Qianqing Palace with some confusion.

"Is my old age causing me to have tinnitus?"

Liu Zhong looked at the other three colleagues with hesitation and asked, "How come we heard the roar of a tiger in the imperial palace?"

"To be honest with you, Lord Liu, I heard it too." Liang Chu looked a little confused. Logically speaking, the place in the world least likely to see a tiger is the imperial palace!
Yang Tinghe and Fei Hong reacted suddenly and their faces turned pale. Liang Chu and Liu Zhong knew what had happened as soon as they saw their expressions.

Old Liu covered his chest and sat on the ground on the spot.

"Mr. Liu!" The three were startled and surrounded him.

"Don't worry about me, save His Majesty!" After shouting this, Lao Liu fainted.

Liang Chu quickly hugged Liu Zhong to prevent him from getting hurt.

Fei Hong immediately shouted, "Come here, call the Imperial Guards and summon the imperial physician!"

"Yes!"

The palace guards not far away responded and ran out quickly.

Yang Tinghe held up his belt and shouted, "It is time to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Imperial guards, follow me to rescue the emperor!"

At this moment in the Qianqing Palace, the big cat's roar directly stunned the palace maids and eunuchs.

At the same time, it also attracted the imperial guards outside the palace. When the ten guards saw the big tiger, they were also stunned. Where did this thing come from? !

Emperor Zhengde was close by and was also shocked. At this moment, Ou Zanghua saw the big cat raise its iron-like tail upside down, and he knew what the other party was going to do.

Looking again, Emperor Zhengde was right next to the big cat's butt.

If this is hit, the whole country will have to start a banquet today.

Sure enough, the next moment the iron rod-like tail cut towards Zhengde.

Ou Zanghua had no choice but to pounce and knock Emperor Zhengde to the ground, and the tiger's tail narrowly passed over the two of them.

"Ou Qing!"

Emperor Zhengde was very moved. He thought that the scholar he had taught was indeed brave, resourceful, courageous, loyal and righteous.

Ou Zanghua didn't care what Emperor Zhengde was sighing about. He hugged the other person and stood up, saying, "Your Majesty, I have heard that when a tiger catches a person, it only pounces, lifts, and cuts. When it fails to hit with these three moves, its temper will be half gone."

It’s not that no one among Jin Yong’s heroes has fought tigers, but Xiao Feng is probably the only one who has fought a wild Siberian tiger.

Xiao Feng used 70% of his strength in that palm strike. Even if it was a very strong warrior, his brain would have burst. However, the tiger's head was strong and bones were thick. The palm force that could split rocks and blast monuments hit its head, but it only knocked it to the ground and then pounced again.

Xiao Feng shouted loudly and swung out with both palms, chopping the tiger's belly with a dull thud.

The tiger's belly is its softest spot, and this move, 'Paiyun Double Palms', was exactly what Xiao Feng was best at. The tiger's internal organs were instantly shattered, and it rolled on the ground for a while before falling dead in the snow.

As for the tiger that Yang Guo grabbed with one hand, it weighed only a few hundred kilograms and was probably an immature South China tiger.

"So that's how it is. Ou Qing, help me attract its attention and watch how I throw it!" Emperor Zhengde smiled knowingly and gave the order immediately.

"Me?" "I can attract it, but Ou Qing, do you know how to use palm techniques or fist techniques? Kick techniques are also OK."

"."

Ou Zanghua swore that he would practice a palm technique, a fist technique, and a leg technique after returning this time!
He had no choice but to use his Qinggong skills and tap the big cat with his toes, successfully attracting its attention to himself.

"Protect the emperor!" Ten palace guards came to their senses, raised their spears and stabbed at the big cat.

Okay, this time we don’t need Ou Zanghua to attract fire.

He hurried back to Emperor Zhengde, pulled him and ran out.

To be honest, Ou Zanghua felt that no matter how sophisticated his sword skills were against humans, he would not be able to defeat a big cat.

To deal with big cats, you have to rely on knives, guns, sticks and clubs. Swords are not lethal enough.

Fortunately, the palace guards are all elite descendants from military families. Although these people may not have good morals, their skills are impeccable.

With the cooperation of ten people, they managed to block the big cat in the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as the two escaped, they saw Yang Tinghe rushing towards them with a team of palace guards.

Old Yang only felt relieved when he saw Emperor Zhengde was intact and even a little excited.

Then, Old Yang's face darkened, and when he was about to give a warning, another tiger roar was heard from the Qianqing Palace, but the sound was obviously not as deep as before.

When Ou Zanghua saw so many fully armed imperial guards coming, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, capture the tiger first!"

"Yes, all the soldiers captured the tiger!" Emperor Zhengde nodded calmly.

"We obey your order!" The palace guards responded in unison and rushed into the Qianqing Palace.

Ou Zanghua then sat down on the stone steps nearby, gasping for breath with lingering fear.

On the side, Yang Tinghe caught up with Emperor Zhengde and started preaching, saying things like "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", "A ruler should not stay in a dangerous place", and "Your Majesty should put the mountains and rivers of the country first".

Emperor Zhengde was extremely annoyed, but he couldn't escape, so he looked to Ou Zanghua for help.

However, Ou Zanghua decisively bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I was frightened today, so I will take my leave first."

Yang Tinghe understood that this kid wanted to run away.

This is understandable, as not everyone has the courage to face a hungry Siberian tiger.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ou!" Emperor Zhengde held his hand and said, "I was not thoughtful enough about today's matter. Come, I will see Mr. Ou off."

"Your Majesty, it's not necessary." Ou Zanghua was startled and was dragged forward by Emperor Zhengde.

"How can I not use it? Mr. Ou has done a great job in saving me today, I must reward you!"

"No need for this!" Ou Zanghua was shocked and quickly refused.

"Hey, Ou Qing, don't worry, you will definitely like this gift!"

Ou Zanghua looked at Yang Tinghe for help, and found that Old Yang had been stopped by Zhang Yong who had hurried over.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say to Lord Yang."

"Let's talk tomorrow!"

Fortunately, Emperor Zhengde did not go home with Ou Zanghua. After shaking off Yang Tinghe, he happily let go of his hand.

After finally leaving the palace, Ou Zanghua couldn't help but sigh. This day was more exciting than his entire year.

Only after he walked out of the Duanmen Gate and got on the carriage did he truly relax. In a sense, today he could be said to have escaped from a dangerous place.

There was a regulation in the Ming Dynasty that the residences of officials of the fourth rank and above could be called "mansions", while those of the fifth rank and below could only be called "houses".

So, when Ou Zanghua got off the carriage, what he saw when he looked up was the plaque with two large characters "Ou Mansion" on the lintel.

He smiled and said to Mu Gaoweng who was waiting on the side: "I think this is a great honor to my family!"

Mu Gaoweng immediately replied: "Young Master has brought honor to not only our family, but also our ancestors."

"Ha ha."

Ou Zanghua laughed out loud. After entering the Ou Mansion, he saw Liu Qing leading two pretty but not coquettish maids to greet him: "My husband, you are back! We have completed the ritual today, so we can have the New Year's Eve dinner here."

"it is good."

Ou Zanghua held Liu Qing's hand and listened to her speaking with a slight Hunan accent. All his tiredness seemed to disappear by half.
