My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 75: Three Tigers
"You are joking, my boy. I am just a nameless barbarian from outside the Great Wall. How dare I let my humble name taint your ears.

If you are willing to honor me by calling me, you can just call me Qu. "

Facing Tingxin's natural smile, a blush appeared on Qu's thin and pale face, but only for a moment, and then Qu quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Tingxin, Zhong Su and others again.

Tingxin was standing aside, looking at Qu's respectful look, Xiaojiu raised his head proudly and asked Qu.

"You wild man, your name is Qu, right? You are much better than that dean. How dare that famous dean look down on my master?

My master is the nephew of the previous emperor, Emperor Taiding. Even the goddess Nuwa only calls him a friend in person. My master wants to help you get rid of the evil, and you are so grateful that you dare to disrespect him. It's really..."

"Ah Jiu."

Zhong Su picked up Deng Jiugong and threw the boy, who looked like a little rooster, onto Hu Jiao's back.

Seeing Xiaojiu flying towards the white tiger, Yuan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately wanted to fly to rescue him.

It turned out that he was afraid that Xiaojiu would be eaten by Hu Jiao.

Only when he saw Ajiu and Hu Jiao playing together did Yuan heave a sigh of relief. Then he clasped his hands towards Zhong Sulu and bowed deeply.

"I didn't expect you to have such a following. I really underestimated you. When I get rid of the big insect, I will offer my head to you as a punishment. I hope you won't bring harm to my village!"

Having said that, the dean raised his hand to pull the diligent Qu up from the ground and said to Qu in a bad mood.

"Don't kneel, Qu. Even if you kneel firmly, the noble man will not have us in his eyes. Since the noble man likes to take risks and play with us, at worst we can just leave our lives to the noble man.

Anyway, in this business of eliminating evil, nine out of ten people never come back, can we still wait for the noble man to come back and judge us?"

After saying that, Yuan glanced at Zhong Su and pulled Qu aside. Their attitude made Zhong Su ponder.

Looking at Zhong Su who was in deep thought, Ting Xin tilted his head strangely.

After thinking for a moment, Tingxin came to Zhong Su and gently tugged at his sleeve.

Seeing that Zhong Su didn't react, Ting Xin rolled his eyes helplessly, and then spoke to Yuan He Qu.

"My master doesn't mean to look down on you. It's just that he is trying to understand the truth recently. He likes to think all the time and doesn't like to talk to others."

"indeed."

When Tingxin said this, Zhong Su smiled slightly and nodded.

Then, he stroked Tingxin's hair and spoke to Yuan and Qu.

"Yuan, and Qu, are you from the nearby villages?"

"In reply to your Excellency, Brother Yuan is the son of the village elder of Xiashan Village, and I am a good family man from Rongling County next door."

As soon as Zhong Suli asked the question, Qu hurried out of the yard and answered impatiently.

Hearing this, Zhong Su nodded and continued to ask.

“Three months ago, you were plagued by the giant insects that appeared on Eagle Crown Mountain. Why didn’t you report it to the nearby general earlier?
This place is only 230 miles away from Qinglong Pass. The current general of Qinglong Pass, Qiu Shan, hates evil and is extremely hostile to evil. If this were reported to him, he would send troops to attack the tiger.

How can you gather the strength of your respective villages to go to the mountains and eliminate the evil?"

"This……"

Hearing Zhong Sulu's words, Yuan was slightly stunned, and then looked at Zhong Sulu with a puzzled look.

Zhong Suli saw in the look in Yuan's eyes that he was looking at a fool, so Qu Ze, who was standing by, quickly explained to Zhong Suli.

“In reply to your words, Qinglong Pass is the gateway to Dashang, and our villages are all within the territory of You State.

We are the barbarians of You country, how dare we trouble the general of Shang to send troops to eliminate the harm. "

"Oh, this is already You Country. I didn't see the boundary sign and thought this was still the territory of the Great Shang. I don't understand."

Zhong Su nodded and understood what Qu meant. During the Great Wilderness Era, the Shang Dynasty had no power to govern the lands that were awarded to them.

Although You State was only a small country among the vassal states, the Shang Dynasty would not easily interfere in the armed forces and internal affairs of other countries.

Therefore, don’t count on Qinglong Pass to send troops to help the villages of Youguo get rid of the harm...

So Zhong Su continued to ask.

"Who is the current ruler of You? Didn't you tell him, or did he not care?"

"Hmph!" As soon as Zhong Suli asked this, the man couldn't help but snorted.

Qu on the side quickly pushed Yuan's elbow, and then continued to speak respectfully to Zhong Su.

“In reply to your words, my king is You Yu, who is currently on duty in the capital of the Great Shang. Our You Kingdom is now ruled by His Highness You Hun.

My You country has three counties and fourteen villages. Although we, the old men in the barbaric villages and the strong men in the villages, can occasionally see His Highness, we are not worthy to talk to His Highness.

However, Your Highness should know that our four villages were attacked by giant insects. But Your Highness has not yet ascended the throne, and the king is not here now. How dare Your Highness mobilize troops privately? I am afraid that the king will be unhappy when he returns.

Therefore, we can only gather the brave men in the village and eliminate the evil ourselves!"

At this point, Qu gave Zhong Su a helpless look, and Zhong Su read a lot from that look.

Obviously, this Prince You Hun is definitely not the Prince You Guohao who loves his people like his own children...

So Zhong Su nodded in understanding.

"You Hun, eh? I understand. If that's the case, I will work with the warriors to get rid of this evil.

It just so happens that I also have a tiger, and maybe the tigers in the mountains are afraid of my white tiger."

“Don’t joke, my dear. The three tigers in the mountain are not the same size, but the largest one is twenty feet long, and the smallest one is fourteen feet in diameter.

Although your mount, the white tiger, is mighty and tall, it is nothing compared to the tiger monster..."

Yuan couldn't help but interrupt Zhong Su, but he didn't dare to finish his words. When he finished speaking, he looked at Hu Jiao with contempt and stopped talking.

Faced with such a look, Hu Jiao exploded.

"Aah!"

With its tail erect and teeth bared, Hu Jiao rushed to the front of the yard with a flutter of the wings, scaring the skinny horse under him so much that it stood up.

"Master, this guy looks down on me, he actually looks down on me!
Not to mention the little guy who is only twenty feet long, even if the tiger is as big as a mountain, the little tiger can transform and fight with him!

You actually look down on me. Who gives you the courage? Master, can I eat the horse he is riding just to scare him?

It's not that I'm greedy, I just think the horse is too thin, it will have to suffer hunger if it is alive, it might as well be eaten by me.

Humph, you look down on me, you actually look down on me!"

The man in the courtyard opposite, Shouma, was so frightened by Hu Jiao that he simply knelt on the ground and peed.

As for Zhong Suli, after hearing Hu Jiao's words, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"and many more."

Zhong Suli just opened his mouth and asked.

"A huge beast came from the mountains, ate all the wild animals in the mountains, and then robbed your village.

But what does the tiger robbing you have to do with the horse? Why is the horse so thin?

Don’t tigers eat meat? Could it be that they have eaten so many people that the remaining people of yours cannot manage the farm and even have no manpower to feed the horses?”

"Ah this..."

Faced with Zhong Sulu's question, Yuan couldn't help but reveal an embarrassed look.

On the side, it was Qu Tiyuan who explained.

“Don’t blame me for not being very specific, my dear, but these three big insects… are really weird.

If we tell the truth, I'm afraid you will not believe us just like the officials sent by the king to collect grain.

To be honest with you, those three tigers don't eat humans at all. Even if we offered boys and girls and tied them up in the forest, the three tigers were too lazy to eat them and just occupied Eagle Crown Mountain.

If it were only that, it would be great, but those three tigers seem to like grains. All the food and fodder in our village have been confiscated by those three tigers. We can barely even get enough fodder to feed the horses.

Who would have thought that there are tigers that like to eat food and grass...

I didn't lie to you. If you saw it with your own eyes, you would know that the three tigers were strange!"
