"Your Majesty, don't be so angry about the common people. She also left a lot of prey, which should be enough for me to pass the exam."
Concubine Pang finally calmed down, looked at him angrily and said:
"You are just too honest and don't care if you are bullied. I really don't know if you are smart or stupid?"
As she spoke, she pulled the emperor's arm and said:
"Guan, do you think Juncai is so generous? You must give him a good ranking."
The emperor glanced at Cao Bin with satisfaction, laughed and said, "Don't worry, my dear, I can't let my family suffer."
Those who participated in the imperial examination were all meritorious children, and he did not want to make trouble because of a trivial matter, so he was very satisfied with Cao Bin's approach of calming down the matter.
Moreover, when Concubine Pang makes trouble, he is not easy to coax.
When Cao Bin saw the emperor saying this, he immediately felt relieved.
From the looks of it, it shouldn't be a problem for me to pass the exam.
The emperor glanced at Cao Bin, nodded and said:
"It's rare for my beloved concubine to come out. If you want to enjoy the scenery of this hunting ground, just stay with me to protect her."
Cao Bin quickly accepted the order.
At this time, the guards brought a horse and handed it to Cao Bin.
He quickly and respectfully thanked him, then hung the prey on the horse's back, got on his horse, and followed the chariot.
At this time, there were only a few young courtiers accompanying the emperor.
Those veterans were probably too lazy to move and were still resting in the camp.
The imperial driver moved slowly, and Concubine Pang asked Cao Bin a few questions about the family from time to time, looking very leisurely.
It was gradually approaching dusk.
A leader of the guards came forward to report: "Guan, it's getting late. Are you going back?"
Just as the emperor was about to respond, the forest on the roadside suddenly shook. Concubine Pang said nervously:
"Guan family, are there any wild animals?"
The emperor patted Concubine Pang's hand and said:
"My beloved, there is no need to panic. With so many guards guarding us, even if there are tigers and leopards, it will be fine."
A eunuch next to him smiled and said:
"What the official said is that I heard that fresh beasts are the most beneficial. Why don't your majesty ask the guards to catch them and have a taste?"
The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, he nodded and said, "That makes sense!"
After speaking, he said directly to the leader of the guards:
"My military order is that whoever can capture this beast alive will be promoted to one rank and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."
As the order was passed on, the guards suddenly became excited.
Silver is easy to get, but it is not easy to rise to an official position.
Now the official has personally promised that this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
So they rushed their horses to rush towards the wild beasts hiding in the mountains and forests, fearing that others would get the lead.
When the emperor saw how brave and impatient the soldiers were, he burst into laughter and asked several ministers:
"My lords, look at my officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, are they still strong?"
Of course everyone knew what to say, so they all offered flattery that had been brewing for a long time.
Just as the emperor was enjoying the flattery, a bear roar suddenly came from not far away from the emperor.
Everyone was startled and quickly turned around to take a look.
I saw a giant bear with red eyes, rushing from behind everyone.
"Escort me, protect me quickly!"
Everyone was horrified to death and started shouting.
It's just that most of the guards have gone to chase the prey on the other side, and the only remaining guards around the emperor look messy.
Upon seeing this, a dozen soldiers from the Golden Gun Squad quickly stepped forward to stop him, but were knocked away by the black bear.
The black bear was completely furious, running extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it was already in front of the driver.
The remaining eunuchs and maids dispersed in fright. Several ministers were either thrown to the ground by their frightened horses, or their mounts fell limp and were unable to move.
The chariot's horse also ran away like crazy. No matter how hard the driver tried, he couldn't control the frightened horse.
Instead, he was shaken down by a violent jolt.
The emperor and Concubine Pang were jolted by the chariot so much that they vomited out their food. The emperor grabbed the shaft of the chariot tightly and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Escort, come and escort!"
But, where are the guards in such a hurry?
Cao Bin also wanted to run, but his mount was so frightened that it fell to the ground and lost the ability to move.
And judging from the look in the black bear's eyes, it was clear that it came to avenge him, and the emperor was only implicated.
Now that the mount is paralyzed, if there are two escape routes, wouldn't it be overtaken by an angry black bear and torn to pieces in a matter of seconds?
So, when the imperial horse was frightened, Cao Bin jumped on the imperial chariot and shouted:
"Don't worry, officials. Cao Bin is here to protect you."
The emperor was overjoyed when he saw this and said quickly: "Cao Bin, quickly find a way to control the chariot."
However, how can a frightened horse be so easy to control?
Moreover, Cao Bin didn't want the horses to stop, because the black bear seemed to have spotted Cao Bin's appearance and followed the imperial chariot in pursuit.
If he stopped, it would be difficult for others to tell him, but he himself would be in trouble.
At this time, Yu Longzhi's guards also reacted and turned their horses to support the imperial chariot.
While they were beating the horses with all their might, they shouted anxiously: "Guards, stop the car quickly, I will come to protect you."
Cao Bin had no intention of stopping at all. He shook the reins of his horse and shouted: "Guan, you can't stop, the black bear is chasing you!"
The emperor looked back at the black bear that was struggling to catch up, and said with an earthy face: "This... what should we do?"
At this moment, Concubine Pang suddenly screamed and shouted heartbreakingly: "Guan family, hurry...save my concubine."
Cao Bin looked back and saw that Concubine Pang had thrown half of her body out of the chariot, flying up and down with the chariot.
At this time, her hairpins were gone, her makeup was stained, and she was so frightened that her face was filled with tears.
If she hadn't held onto the chariot's guardrail with both arms, she might have fallen down.
But the emperor was so dizzy at this time that he couldn't free his hand to give her a hand.
Seeing this, Cao Bin quickly dropped the reins in his hands, climbed over with all his strength, and grabbed Concubine Pang's white wrist.
Then he struggled with his arms and easily lifted Pang Fei onto the frame.
She is her biggest supporter. Even if the emperor dies, she cannot die.
At this moment, the emperor suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Cao Bin, hurry up and control the horse, it's about to hit."
Cao Bin looked back and saw that the two frightened horses had no idea of their direction and had already collided head-on with a huge rock.
Cao Bin was shocked, pulled the reins hard, and shouted: "Stop."
He saw the two royal horses staggering directly as he pulled them, and suddenly turned a big turn, avoiding the rocks.
If he hadn't obtained three times the physical fitness not long ago, he really wouldn't be able to achieve this effect.
There was another scream and tumbling in the car, and the three of them couldn't help but feel upset.
The emperor hugged the carriage tightly and shouted: "This is not the way to go. Cao Bin must think of a countermeasure."
Cao Bin said quickly: "Don't worry, officials. The black bear only broke out temporarily. We can get rid of it immediately."
Just as Cao Bin said, while he was speaking, the black bear had slowed down.
In fact, it only lasted a minute or two from the time the horse was frightened until now, but it was extremely thrilling.
At this time, the guards behind had also caught up, some surrounded the black bear, and some continued to chase the imperial chariot.
After the initial panic, the two horses gradually calmed down.
The fact that they didn't stop immediately was just due to inertia, which made them run forward instinctively.
"Officials be careful..."
Just as Cao Bin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a huge pit suddenly appeared.
At the current speed, falling would result in a car crash and death.
"ah......"
Both the emperor and Concubine Pang screamed.
Even the guards who caught up were panicked. All looked pale.
