The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 274
[Chapter 274 White Fox]
As expected, when Lin Tian walked a little further ahead, he found that the sound of horse hooves behind
him became a little hurried. Turning his head, he saw that Liu Zhang, who had been left behind just now, had caught up with him on horseback.
“Minister Lin is indeed a martial arts master, and even his horsemanship is extremely superb! I didn’t check it for a while, and I was actually left behind by Minister Lin by so much!”
Liu Zhang smiled and caught up with Lin Tian again, but he didn’t look like he was struggling, and it was obvious that he was deliberately falling behind.
“I guess there must be some scenery on the road that attracted Prime Minister Liu’s attention. Prime Minister Liu is very attentive, and naturally I can’t compare to him!”
Lin Tian just laughed twice and didn’t take it seriously.
But Liu Zhang automatically identified himself and thought that Lin Tian was being sarcastic again.
“How could that be? It’s just that I’m old, and the waves behind are pushing the waves ahead, so I have to admit that I’m old!”
Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, and said very modestly.
He wanted to see what tricks Lin Tian could come up with after he said so.
“Prime Minister Liu is too modest.”
Unfortunately, Lin Tian did not intend to continue to pay attention to him. He just replied casually and then concentrated on riding his horse forward.
“This should be the exit in front. There is no prey to hunt. Why don’t you and I go this way!”
Seeing that Lin Tian was about to approach the exit of the dense forest, Liu Zhang was a little unwilling.
He had laid a net here, but Lin Tian insisted on wandering on the edge!
If he was allowed to go out, wouldn’t his plan be in vain?
Lin Tian must not succeed!
He didn’t believe that this guy was so lucky that he could avoid the trap he laid even if he was just strolling around.
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t plan to hunt any animals. The emperor’s reward should be left to other people with lofty ideals!”
Lin Tian said rather nonchalantly. He didn’t have this idea in mind, and of course he wouldn’t take this hunting seriously.
The reason why he agreed to come out was to see what Liu Zhang was trying to do.
“How can you think like that, Minister Lin? If you are worried about stealing the limelight from other adults, that’s fine. I will definitely support you!”
Liu Zhang looked indignant. If others didn’t know, they would think that Lin Tian had suffered some injustice and dared not to show off.
“Minister Liu, you are worrying too much. I am just not interested.”
Lin Tian smiled and shook his head, wanting to see what Liu Zhang could say.
“Even if I am not interested, I can’t be perfunctory! Don’t be offended, little friend Lin. I am just reminding you a few words.”
“If you return empty-handed, it will be embarrassing, but I don’t know what the emperor will think.”
Liu Zhang said earnestly.
It must be said that his words are quite interesting, and it also left Lin Tian no chance to refuse.
Liu Zhang has already said so. If he doesn’t hunt some prey and bring it back, he might be accused of not taking the emperor seriously.
“Prime Minister Liu is right
. It is me who does not understand the ways of the world. Thank you for reminding me!”
Seeing that the heat was almost brewing, Lin Tian no longer refused and continued to speak along with his words. “I am just reminding you with good intentions. It is
up to Minister Lin whether you listen or not.” Liu Zhang waved his hand, looking like it was a piece of cake, but he led Lin Tian to the place where he had already set the trap.
Lin Tian pretended not to know, and thanked him as he followed him forward.
Liu Zhang’s mouth curled up with an ambiguous smile. He thought this man was so smart, but he was still tricked by him in just a few words?
Sure enough, he was just a young boy who was still full of arrogance. Compared with him, he was simply overestimating himself!
Liu Zhang thought complacently while leading Lin Tian into the depths of the dense forest.
The surrounding woods became more and more dense, and the sunlight that could be sprinkled in became less and less.
“This place looks like a place where large beasts will appear.”
Not long after walking, Lin Tian stopped and frowned, as if he was a little scared.
Seeing his cowardly look, Liu Zhang was even more delighted.
He thought that Lin Tian would be so capable that he would be appreciated by the emperor, but he didn’t expect that he was just like this.
“Minister Lin, don’t panic. These beasts have never met strangers, so their attack power is naturally greatly reduced. With Minister Lin’s martial arts, they are naturally not to be feared.”
Liu Zhang absent-mindedly comforted him. Although he said so, if some beasts really jumped out, I’m afraid that both of them would have a hard time escaping.
Unfortunately, he had already made all the preparations.
“Forget it, let’s go back first, or go outside to kill a few foxes.”
Lin Tian shook his head, looking like he was going to escape from the battlefield.
Seeing that Lin Tian was about to turn his horse around and leave, Liu Zhang immediately became anxious.
In a hurry, he actually grabbed Lin Tian’s sleeve.
“What is this, Prime Minister Liu?”
Lin Tian was a little confused.
Seeing that his action was indeed a little abrupt, Liu Zhang immediately smiled and retracted his hand.
“Opportunities and dangers always coexist. You can’t get a tiger cub without entering a tiger’s den!”
Although he was still smiling, his tone was already unquestionable.
Just as Lin Tian was about to leave with a hesitant look, a white fox suddenly flashed before their eyes.
“Look! This is a top-quality white fox!”
Liu Zhang immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Tian’s eyes lit up when he saw the white fox. The fur of this white fox is a treasure. It is just right to make a fox fur coat!
“Go!”
Lin Tian’s mind moved, and he ignored Liu Zhang at the moment. He squeezed his legs hard on the horse’s belly and rode to chase the white fox.
However, the light in the deep mountains and old forests was not very good, and the white fox disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After searching for a long time without seeing any trace, Lin Tian slowly stopped and turned to look at Liu Zhang who was following behind.
“Minister Lin, did you succeed?”
Liu Zhang, who finally caught up, seemed a little out of breath. The bumps on the horse’s back made him a little overwhelmed.
“This little thing is extremely cunning. It disappeared in the blink of an eye.”
Lin Tian shook his head, looking a little disappointed.
“Why not look around? Maybe it’s hiding?”
Seeing Lin Tian’s disappointed look, Liu Zhang was very satisfied and pretended to give suggestions.
“Okay.”
Lin Tian nodded.
The two walked around the area twice more.
“Look! There!”
Liu Zhang suddenly shouted and pointed in a direction for Lin Tian to look.
Lin Tian looked in the direction he pointed out reflexively, and sure enough, a white figure passed by there.
The two hurriedly chased after it, but the white fox was very fast. When they caught up, it had disappeared again.
“Why is this guy running so fast?”
After being teased like this twice, Lin Tian was also a little annoyed. He waved the whip in the air twice, making a crackling sound.
