Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 213 The Auspicious Beast Goes Berserk!

Abao was placed in a huge iron cage and carried to the palace by a group of people.

Because of its enormous size, these people even used wheels to make it less strenuous!

Because it was presented as an auspicious offering, the iron cage was adorned with gold and silver and decorated with many ornaments.

Against the backdrop of these colorful decorations, A Bao's black and white color scheme stands out even more!

As soon as A Bao appeared, the Fengtian Hall was abuzz with discussion, and everyone's face showed shock.

This was clearly the first time they had ever seen such a black and white beast!

Among the crowd, some military officers looked at A Bao with surprise and turned to look at the princess.

Isn't this big guy the mount of the Eldest Princess and Zhou Dianjun?

How come it's being promoted as an auspicious omen now?

Could it be that there are only two of these black and white beasts in the world?

The military officers were full of questions, but after seeing the calm expressions of the Princess and Zhou Wei, they all chose to keep quiet.

Even Feng Polu, who had the worst temper, watched the show quietly with his eyes narrowed.

Qian Tao asked in surprise in a low voice, "Hey, Lao Feng, I thought you would be the first to stand up and question me!"

Feng Polu smiled slyly: "What are you saying? I'm not stupid. How could I not see that there's a plan involved? I wouldn't dare to ruin the Princess and Commander Zhou's plans."

Qian Tao smiled and patted Feng Polu on the shoulder, saying that this was where Old Feng's cleverness lay.

Sometimes a military general's recklessness is just for show; if he's reckless when he should be displaying inner strength, then he's courting death.

A Bao was carried into the palace, accompanied by a military officer.

The man bowed to Bai Xiaoxiao and said, "Your Highness, a few days ago, the soldiers patrolling the mountains discovered this black and white ferocious beast in the forest."

"Since they had never seen this beast before, the soldiers tried to capture it. Unexpectedly, someone in the army recognized that this black and white beast was actually an auspicious beast recorded in ancient books."

"Auspicious omens descend from the heavens, and the soldiers are overjoyed. Such a lucky sign must be Heaven's favor upon our Great Zhou. Therefore, we present this auspicious beast, wishing our Great Zhou dynasty eternal prosperity!"

After listening, Bai Xiaoxiao carefully examined A Bao.

Even though she was very knowledgeable, this was the first time she had ever seen a panda, and she couldn't help but have some doubts.

Could it be that the soldiers dyed the bear with color to deliberately gain credit?

While Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated, Chen Wenyu frowned and asked, "An auspicious beast recorded in ancient books? Where are the ancient books? Let me see them."

The military officer immediately took out a book from his pocket and handed it to Chen Wenyu.

As soon as he picked up the book, it exuded the unique scent of ancient texts, and Chen Wenyu's brows relaxed.

The Crown Prince had been observing Chen Wenyu's reaction and was secretly pleased with himself.

Lu Zhiyan said that he had found the most skilled forger to make this ancient book, ensuring that even the great Confucian scholars in the court would not be able to spot the deception.

Sure enough, Chen Wenyu looked through it for a while and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He turned to Bai Xiaoxiao and said, "Your Highness, this beast is indeed an auspicious beast. Ancient books record that this beast resembles a bear, with black and white fur. Ancient people said that it eats iron! The appearance of this beast foretells the coming of a prosperous era and a wise ruler for the country! It is also said that this auspicious beast is spiritual and can recognize a wise ruler."

As Chen Wenyu read the words from the ancient book, everyone in the Fengtian Hall was amazed.

Some people expressed doubts about the records in ancient books, while others could not hide their excitement.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is currently in turmoil, and the appearance of an auspicious beast signifies that the Great Zhou still has hope.

The black and white auspicious beasts also foreshadow the coming of a prosperous era and the birth of a wise ruler. Isn't this a sign of Heaven's mercy on the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Immediately, some people knelt on the ground and wept bitterly!

"Heaven will not forsake my Great Zhou! Heaven will not forsake my Great Zhou! With the birth of the auspicious beast, the natural disasters of Great Zhou will surely end."

Seeing so many court officials so excited, Qian Tao couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over a mythical beast?

Feng Polu's mind raced, and when he looked at the Princess and Zhou Wei again, his eyes were filled with shock, as if he were looking at celestial beings!

Bai Xiaoxiao remained calm throughout. After listening to Chen Wenyu's words, she asked, "Ancient books say that this beast eats iron. Is that true? I have never seen a beast that can eat iron before. I would like to see it for myself."

Ah Bao lay in the cage, rolling his eyes involuntarily, and muttering curses at Zhou Wei under his breath.

I really don't know why Zhou Wei would say that I eat iron?

This bear doesn't eat iron at all!

The last time I licked the big iron pot in the kitchen of the princess's residence, it was only because the pot had just been used to stew vegetables, and it was salty, so I couldn't resist licking it a couple of times.

As a result, Ziyu saw it and insisted that "this bear eats iron!"

Zhou Wei, that little devil, knew the truth but didn't explain, and even said that this bear's nickname was the Iron-Eating Beast.

Ah Bao kept complaining in his heart, but he also knew that he had to cooperate obediently in a while.

When the eunuch placed a piece of pig iron in front of A Bao, A Bao exhaled and stood up helplessly.

He sniffed the pig iron, then began to lick it greedily!

This scene stunned everyone.

Even the Crown Prince was puzzled. He hadn't even given Xuan Su a signal yet, so how come this beast knew how to lick the iron block?

That's a bit too clever!

After licking the iron block, A Bao didn't forget to give Zhou Wei a flirtatious wink.

It means: Look how powerful I am.

Zhou Wei glared at it, telling it not to look around so suspiciously!

With her doubts dispelled, Bai Xiaoxiao could only say, "It seems I am truly ignorant; there are such wondrous auspicious beasts in the world."

"Guards! The soldiers of the Fengshan Camp have rendered meritorious service by presenting the auspicious beast; they shall be rewarded..."

Before she could finish speaking about bestowing rewards, a sudden change occurred in the hall!

wow-

The chains on the iron cage where A Bao was imprisoned suddenly fell to the ground.

As the chains came loose, the iron cage door creaked open.

Instantly, the noisy court fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The courtier closest to the iron cage felt a chill run down his spine and his legs began to go weak.

Especially when they saw A Bao shake his fur and walk out of the iron cage step by step, some people were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground!

"what!!!"

Suddenly, someone let out a scream, and the court was thrown into chaos.

Someone shouted, "Protect the Imperial Noble Consort!"

Some people cried out for help, but A Bao's massive body stepped onto the golden bricks of the Fengtian Hall, and the bricks shattered instantly.

Only then did the court officials realize how terrifying A Bao was!

These gold bricks were commissioned by the Great Zhou Emperor to be fired in the official kilns when he ascended the throne. They are incredibly sturdy; even an iron sword can only leave shallow marks when it strikes them.

Unexpectedly, it was crushed by A Bao's foot!

If that kick landed on someone, what would happen?

The crowd was so frightened that they scattered and fled for their lives, and the hall was thrown into chaos.

Zhou Wei seized the opportunity to walk to the princess's side and protect her behind her.

A crazed light flashed in the prince's eyes, and Mei Xingyue, who was lying on the ground, also looked excited.

dead!

Go to hell!

Anyone who has offended us should die!

The Crown Prince had previously given A Bao the order to kill Li An as soon as it was released from its cage.

The Crown Prince hated Li An to the core, since he was fixated on the death of the Li family.

Then I'll send him to the underworld so he can reunite with the Li family!

A Bao strictly followed the Crown Prince's instructions, stepping on the golden bricks and rushing towards Li An with a whoosh.
