If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 31 The Tiger in the East Palace
Since Zhu Gaochi didn't intend to use this matter to do anything to Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanyu naturally had no intention of going into it further.

It was just to prevent the fat dad from buying unclean things on the street and eating them and causing health problems. Now that the problem has been solved, Zhu Zhanqi will naturally not pursue it further.

After handing the person over to Jin Yiwei, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanjuan continued to walk and drive back to the East Palace.

Just as soon as he entered the gate of the East Palace, Zhu Zhanyu smelled the smell of wild beasts, and a very loud roar came from the courtyard, which sounded like there was some beast in the East Palace.

Zhu Zhanquan and Zhu Gaochi suddenly became curious. When they walked into the yard, they saw two large iron cages placed in the center of the yard. The cages contained two very ferocious-looking tigers.

Next to the iron cage, there were several dead tigers and a litter of tiger cubs that looked like they had not yet opened their eyes. They were placed in a basket, and Princess Zhang was curiously playing with these cubs, seeming to care about them. Treat it like a regular cat or dog.

"Dad, second brother, you are back!" When Zhu Zhanji saw Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanyu, he hurried over to greet him, smiled at Zhu Zhanyu and said: "Second brother, I can get you the tiger brother you want. Yes! I asked a few nobles and found some good people in the army, but I have caught these two alive, they should be useful to me, right?"

Zhu Zhanju looked at these tigers, dead or alive, and nodded slightly while smiling at Zhu Zhanji: "Thank you for your hard work, brother, let me take a look before talking."

With that said, Zhu Zhanquan came to the cage and first checked the dead tigers on the ground. He saw that although they were all dead tigers, they were basically fresh, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Zhu Zhanji on the side quickly explained: "I borrowed the ice cellar of Wei Guogong's house. I was afraid that these dead tigers would be broken, so I kept them in ice. If you hadn't given me a bag of gold, second brother, I really couldn't stand it. It’s so expensive.”

"Brother, thank you for your trouble. Although these dead tigers have lost their vitality, they can still be used as medicine." Zhu Zhanquan didn't care too much about these dead tigers. Although the dead tigers were not incapable of being used as medicine, their medicinal properties were somewhat inferior, so he added The focus is still on the two live ones.

The same was naturally true for Zhu Zhanji. After all, getting a few dead tigers was nothing, but these two living ones really cost him a lot of effort.

"A few days ago, I asked a familiar friend to spread the news that I was going to catch tigers. The hunters around Jinling City heard the news. After finding out where the tigers were, I contacted a few familiar nobles and brought some military experts with me. Capture, that's how those dead tigers came about." Zhu Zhanji had a look on his face. Although a lot of people were dispatched, being able to capture a tiger was enough to boast and praise, let alone catching a live one. "I remembered that you, my second brother, said that life is the best, so I asked a few experts in the army to set up many traps in the mountains. I waited for several days before finally catching these two alive. In order to get them back, I couldn't help but Several people were injured! Fortunately no one died."

At this time, the fat dad also came over. Looking at the dead tiger on the ground and the roaring tigers in the two cages, he asked in confusion: "Zhan Ji Zhan Yun, what are you two brothers doing with so many tigers?"

"My child needs a pair of medicines to strengthen his body to make up for the lack of energy and blood in his body over the past eight years, so please help me catch a few tigers." Zhu Zhanquan explained, and at the same time took out something from his sleeve A bag of gold was handed to Zhu Zhanji: "Brother Lao has taken the trouble this time. When the medicine is ready, your share will be indispensable. Brother Lao will distribute these golds to the injured. We can't let people say that we are doing things in the East Palace." I won’t miss out on any of the benefits. In addition, I have to ask my brother to help me purchase the medicine. This bag of gold, brother, you can spend it on, but it’s not enough to ask me for it.”

Zhu Zhanji was not polite. After all, he had spent a lot of effort to get so many tigers. The bag of gold Zhu Zhanji gave him was not much left. If Wei Guogong hadn't confiscated the money, the Xu family borrowed the ice cellar. , he was afraid that he would have to pay for it himself.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji accepted the money, Zhu Zhanquan called his guards to carry the dead tigers to the ice cellar in the East Palace to prevent them from spoiling. He also took the two live ones to the backyard to temporarily raise them, waiting for use in medicine.

However, the nest of tiger cubs was very popular with Crown Princess Zhang. After the guards of the East Palace got rid of the tigers, she was still teasing the nest of tiger cubs and even wanted to give them a hug.

Zhu Zhanjuan saw this and said with a smile: "Mom, are you tired of raising cats and dogs and planning to raise a tiger? Then dad will suffer from it. If you are unhappy one day, let him go." What if a tiger bites him?”

"Then what's going on? How can the majestic prince be injured by a few beasts?" Madam Zhang didn't care about the ridicule in her son's words. She picked up one of the strongest-looking tiger cubs in her arms and said to Zhu Zhan Yun asked: "Zhan Yun, do you know how to raise a tiger? This little guy is really cute. Mom wants to raise it for fun."

"It's not difficult. Just feed it with some goat's milk. When it gets older, just feed it with live chicken, raw meat or the like. But after all, this thing is still a beast. Mom, if you want to raise it, hold it like this when you were a child. However, when these tigers become adults in the future, people who know how to train animals must be arranged to train them to prevent these beasts from hurting people." Zhu Zhanji seemed to have a plan when he brought these tiger cubs back. When he saw Zhang If you want to raise it, you immediately come up with a safe method.

Zhu Zhanjun didn't care about this. He had a method for cultivating spiritual beasts from sects in the world of immortality. Although it was not a top secret method, it was still no problem to train a few beasts.

Zhu Gaochi, on the other hand, was a little disgusted and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you raise tigers! Why don't you get some cats and dogs?"

"Why can't you raise it? We in the East Palace have been keeping a low profile these years. Raising a few tigers also makes your prince unique, doesn't it?" Mrs. Zhang said, and handed the little tiger in her arms to Zhu Gaochi: "Everyone in the world has Even if you are weak, if you have a fierce tiger by your side, it can add a bit of heroism to you Zhu Gaochi."

"Okay, okay, it's all up to you, but you still have to follow what Zhan Ji said and find a few people who specialize in animal training to train them to prevent the beasts from hurting people." Zhu Gaochi was stuffed with such a little tiger in his arms. Of course, he had nothing to say, he just touched the soft fur of the little tiger and asked for protection.

Mrs. Zhang did not disobey Zhu Gaochi on this matter. She ordered the palace servants to pick up a litter of tiger cubs, and asked people to get goat milk. Then she led the family to the main hall and sat down at the dining table. A family of four sat together and had dinner.
