Pei Ji had said before that a tiger appeared in the hunting ground some time ago, but it had been shot and killed. It is logical that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Pei Ji also said that someone had someone browsed the hunting ground, but no trace of other tigers was found. Otherwise, Li Xiu and Pei Ji would have dared to walk around the hunting ground without any guards.

But what Li Xiu and the others never expected was that just when they accompanied Li Shimin to the hunting ground and caught a lot of prey and were about to go back, a tiger suddenly jumped out of the mountains and forests, only a few hundred steps away from them. Originally, ordinary tigers rarely attacked people on their own initiative. After all, compared with other small animals, humans are too large, and even tigers are not willing to take risks, but the tiger is not afraid of people at all. It roars and pounces on it.

"Your Majesty, go!" Pei Ji was also shocked when he saw the tiger pounced on him. Then he hurriedly asked Li Shimin to leave quickly. He himself took a bow and arrow to stop the tiger. However, he was old and weak, and he was almost dead and alive when facing such a tiger.

"Just a big insect. I didn't know how many shots I had before. It happened that the queen was weak. I added a fur to her in winter!" Li Shimin said calmly at this time, saying that he took the bow and arrow in his hand, but he did not rush to shoot it out, but was preparing to let the tiger pounce on a hundred steps and shoot the arrow. After all, the light is dark now, and he is not sure if he is far away.

Li Shimin was born as a military general. When he first started his army, he often fought in person. He might not be as good as his younger brother Li Yuanji in terms of force, but he was not comparable to ordinary military generals. It is said that he was very strong when he was young, and he could use a three-stone heavy bow. Moreover, he liked hunting, and there were indeed many tigers that were shot to death. Therefore, when he encountered this tiger, he was not panicked, but was very excited to shoot the tiger.

However, Li Shimin was too excited. He forgot that he had long since lost his courage when he was young, especially in recent years of comfortable palace life and busy government affairs, he rarely had the opportunity to ride a horse and shoot archery, his body was no longer as strong as when he was young, and even his archery skills were a bit abandoned. Moreover, he did not use the hard bow he used on the battlefield before, but an ordinary hunting bow.

It was precisely the above conditions that combined Li Shimin's confidence-firing arrow at the approaching tiger, but the arrow was inserted into the tiger's head, but it failed to shoot it to death. Instead, it stimulated the tiger's ferociousness. The tiger roared again and accelerated to pounce towards Li Shimin again.

Seeing that he failed to shoot the tiger with one arrow, Li Shimin was not panicked. He immediately took the bow again and was about to shoot the second arrow that had been prepared. After all, within a hundred steps was enough to make him shoot three arrows.

But Li Shimin obviously ignored one point. He could remain calm in the face of this situation, but the horse he had stepped on was not good. After all, he was not riding a war horse that had been through life and death with him before, but the horse that Pei Ji prepared for him. Although this horse was also a good Dayuan horse, it had not been tempered by the battlefield. Facing the fierce tiger that rushed towards him, the horse was scared and stood up and whistled, and eventually lifted Li Shimin off his horse, and naturally lost the bow and arrow in his hand.

Pei Ji next to him saw that Li Shimin had fallen off the horse and was immediately frightened. After all, even if they couldn't beat the horse, they could still escape. Generally speaking, tigers would not keep chasing their prey, but now Li Shimin actually fell off the horse. If they were really bitten to death by the tiger, they would probably all be buried with Li Shimin. At that time, the imperial guards would close the mountain and Li Yuan hidden in the valley might be searched.

Thinking of the consequences of Li Shimin's death in his hunting ground, Pei Ji was also fighting for his life. He shot two arrows in a row and hoped to shoot the tiger to death. However, he was old and weak. He only got one arrow in two arrows, and even if he was shot, he could only barely shoot through the fur. He could not hurt the tiger at all. Seeing the tiger getting closer, Li Shimin, who was lying on the ground, had just stood up at this time, and had even pulled out his waist knife to fight the tiger to death.

However, at this critical moment, a strong horse suddenly rushed out from behind Li Shimin, and then collided with the rushing tiger, and turned the rushing tiger out of several occasions. This time the collision was very heavy, which made the tiger unable to stand up for a while. However, the horse that hit the tiger also fell to the ground, and a man screamed and fell to the ground. It was Li Xiu.

It turned out that Li Xiu saw that Li Shimin's situation was critical and wanted to take a horse forward to rescue him, but he didn't expect that the horse he was riding was frightened and did not dare to go forward at all. Finally, Li Xiu pulled out his waist and slashed the horse on the butt with one knife. As a result, the horse was frightened and rushed forward regardless of it, which saved Li Shimin's life. However, Li Xiu also fell heavily from the horse's back and couldn't stand up for a while.

Seeing Li Xiu risking his life to save his life, Li Shimin was stunned at first, and then his face was a little complicated, but he seized this opportunity and found the bow and arrow that fell to the ground, then shot several arrows one after another, and finally shot the tiger struggling to stand up to death, which made the three of them breathe a sigh of relief.

"I deserve to die for thousands of crimes. Let the Saint fall into danger. Please punish him!" Pei Ji also rolled off his horse at this time, then knelt down in front of Li Shimin and apologized. After all, this is his hunting ground, and Li Shimin was almost injured by a beast. No matter what, he couldn't escape it!

"Haha~, it's okay, I haven't fought such a thrilling hunt for a long time!" Li Shimin laughed loudly at this time, and then said in no surprise. After saying that, he quickly walked to Li Xiu, then pulled him up and asked with concern, "How are you, Prince Concubine? Are you injured?"

"No... it's okay, cough cough~, I just fell down and almost passed out of breath just now!" Li Xiu said while covering his chest, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a burning pain in his back, and he was also inhaling cold air.

When Li Shimin saw this, he hurriedly looked at Li Xiu's back. He found that the clothes on his back were worn out by the sand and gravel on the ground, and several holes appeared on the skin behind him. Although it was not deep, blood kept oozing out. This made him feel moved: "Your son-in-law, you have made great contributions in saving the car. I... I really don't know what to say?"

"Your Majesty, you are polite. This is what I should do!" Li Xiu also endured the pain on his back. The skin on his back was worn out. Although the injury was not serious, it was very painful.

Li Xiu's injury needs to be treated, and there may be sand and gravel in the wound, so the three of them immediately got on the horse. Li Xiu's horse was injured and could not ride, so they had to ride with Pei Ji. Then the three of them left the hunting ground. As a result, when people outside knew that there was a tiger in the hunting ground, they were all very scared.
