The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 277
[Chapter 277: The Psychic Horse]
Lin Tian dragged the tiger’s body to the side of the horse. The horse was a little uneasy when it saw a tiger. After all, the tiger’s power was still there even after death.
Seeing this, Lin Tian put the tiger’s body down, hugged the horse’s head, gently stroked its neck with his hand, and comforted it softly.
“It’s okay, it’s just a dead tiger, what’s there to be afraid of!”
The horse seemed to have a spirit and understood Lin Tian’s words, and immediately became quiet.
The officials on the side saw this scene and flattered Lin Tian with a flattering face.
“Lord Lin is really amazing, and he can train horses. This horse was always disobedient when I rode it, but it is so obedient in your hands. Lord Lin is really a hidden talent!”
“No, no, sir, you are too kind, it’s just that the horse is psychic and I have a connection with it. How can I train horses!”
Lin Tian waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing, and said in a calm tone.
The horse seemed to understand, and suddenly neighed, snorted, and then looked at Lin Tian in a humane way.
As if to say that it was the real flattery, let the official flatter it.
Lin Tian also laughed, patted the horse’s head, and said happily: “Not bad, not bad, it’s a really good horse!”
The officials behind seemed to understand something and laughed.
Only the official who flattered the horse had an embarrassed look on his face.
And Liu Zhang wanted to laugh but couldn’t, and his expression was very ugly.
Lin Tian didn’t see his expression, if he saw it, he would definitely laugh until his stomach hurt.
Lin Tian calmed the horse, grabbed the tiger corpse with both hands, and with a force from his hands and waist, he threw the tiger weighing almost two or three hundred pounds onto the horse’s back.
The horse just staggered and immediately stabilized. It was a good horse that could bear such a heavy tiger corpse without shaking!
Lin Tian didn’t want them to help. A group of civil servants, usually weak, if they sprained their waists and couldn’t do their jobs, the emperor would have to blame themselves.
Everyone was surprised to see Lin Tian throw the tiger onto the horse’s back alone.
Someone was about to flatter the horse, but when he thought of the scene just now, he stopped talking.
“Let’s go back and show the tiger to the emperor. We have made a lot of gains today. I have to thank Prime Minister Liu for his help!”
Lin Tian thanked Liu Zhang behind him with a somewhat sarcastic tone.
The other officials beside him could not hear it, thinking that Lin Tian was politely thanking Prime Minister Liu.
Liu Zhang heard it and thought to himself, could it be that Lin Tian had discovered something? Could it be that my self-torture trick was discovered?
Although Liu Zhang thought so in his heart, he still pulled a stiff smile on his face and replied to Lin Tian.
“No, no, it’s all the credit of little friend Lin. How could I contribute? I don’t deserve it, I don’t deserve it!”
Seeing this, Lin Tian stopped talking and walked back with the reins. A group of people followed him, as if he was the leader of this group of people. Lin Tian didn’t mind and said a few polite words to them.
They walked in front, and Liu Zhang was left behind. He had no horse to ride and could only walk.
Liu Zhang was very angry, but he didn’t show it. After all, he was also a person who had been immersed in officialdom for many years and knew the principle of not showing emotions.
However, a few people saw Liu Zhang being left behind, so they slowly fell behind, came to Liu Zhang and talked to him.
You have to know that Liu Zhang is the prime minister of the dynasty, and you can’t talk to him at ordinary times. Although Lin Tian is in the limelight now, he is only the Minister of Works. It’s not
a bad thing to curry favor with Liu Zhang, maybe you can get promoted!
The group returned to the emperor’s ceremonial guard in a mighty manner. The officials on the roadside praised Lin Tian’s tiger on his horse.
“Lord Lin is so impressive. We were all hunting pheasants and rabbits, but he actually brought back a tiger!”
“Yes, yes! Lord Lin is really amazing. We can only run away when we see a tiger!”
Lin Tian responded to them one by one, and this scene made Liu Zhang behind him even more jealous and angry!
“Your Majesty, we are back from hunting!”
Lin Tian and his group knelt down to salute the emperor, and Lin Tian said to the emperor.
The emperor was eating fruits and cakes, and saw Lin Tian coming back, but he didn’t take any prey and was injured, so he was a little unhappy.
“Stand up, Lord Lin, have you caught any prey?”
The emperor asked with a somewhat dissatisfied tone, thinking that he had misjudged Lin Tian.
“Your Majesty, I was lucky enough to catch a tiger, but the tiger carcass was bloody, so I didn’t bring it here for fear of disturbing Your Majesty!”
Lin Tian could hear that the emperor was a little unhappy, and hurriedly explained.
The eldest prince on the side heard Lin Tian say that he had killed a tiger, and immediately started to sneer.
“Tiger, I’m afraid you didn’t just happen to catch a tiger cub!”
“Shut up, I’m asking a question, why are you interrupting!”
The emperor heard the eldest prince’s sarcasm, and he was immediately furious, not knowing the limit at all!
The eldest prince heard the emperor’s scolding, and then realized that his father was still there.
If he interrupted, he would be courting death, so he shut up and stopped talking!
“Lin Tian, present the tiger you killed, I want to see if it’s really a tiger!”
The emperor deliberately emphasized the word fierce, as if to say that if Lin Tian exaggerated, he would chop off his head!
Lin Tian responded and blew a whistle, and the horse carrying the tiger’s corpse slowly walked in from outside.
The emperor took a look, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but soon returned to calm.
After all, he was the emperor, and he had seen everything. He was just surprised that Lin Tian actually killed a tiger, and it was such a big one.
“Lord Lin is really brave. He can kill such a big tiger. He is really a hero in his youth!”
The emperor praised happily, and seemed to remember his young age when he was a powerful figure in the hunting ground!
“Your Majesty, you are too kind. I can kill this tiger, and I have to thank Prime Minister Liu for his help!”
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he did not forget to glance at Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang saw that Lin Tian had something to say, and he also spoke.
“No, no, little friend Lin is very brave, and this old minister can’t help much!”
The eldest prince above was even more pale. When he saw the tiger, he knew that Liu Zhang had failed, but it made Lin Tian famous!
“Very good, very good, Lord Lin is really brave, I will reward you handsomely!”
After the emperor said this, the ministers beside him also praised Lin Tiandao in unison.
“Lord Lin is a young talent and very brave!”
Lin Tian thanked the emperor and the ministers, and then said to the emperor.
“Your Majesty, this tiger skin is not damaged at all, it is very complete, let someone peel it off and make a tiger skin cloak for your majesty!” “
Okay, then I will accept this gift. You have made great contributions in hunting tigers, what reward do you want?”
The emperor was very happy to hear that Lin Tian was going to give him the tiger skin. Although he wanted it, Lin Tian would definitely give it to him, but the feeling was different!
“I would like to ask your majesty for a reward!”
“Oh, what does Lord Lin want?”
“That horse!”
