Chapter 15
"That's the Crested Ibis, the Ninth Prince, not a pheasant. This is a precious breed sent by King Jiang Xia. There are less than ten of them in the entire Great Tang, and it's His Majesty's favorite bird!”
When Old Zhan heard that the two wild pheasants Li Mu mentioned were actually Crested Ibises, he was immediately shocked. With a sad face, he explained repeatedly.
"That's right, Li Shiming likes these two pheasants, so I'm giving them to my new backer. Old Zhan, help me catch them!”
Li Mu, however, did not seem to care. He did not panic at all. He waved his hand and said loudly.
If Li Shiming didn't like it, it would be insincere to send it to him. Of course, he would send it to Li Shiming if he liked it!
"No, no, this really won't do. His Majesty will punish me!”Old Zhan shook his head unwillingly. If it was any other thing, he would be fine, but he really couldn't do it with the Crested Ibis!
The bird had just been sent over two days ago, and it was the time when Li Shiming cared about it the most and liked it the most. Now that it had been caught and eaten by Li Mu, Li Shiming would definitely kill him!
Thinking of this, Old Zhan put on a bitter face and begged for mercy.
"Ninth Prince, please spare this old servant. If I really give this to you, I'm dead!”
"Old Zhan, look at what you're saying. Why would I harm you? Just push the blame to me!”Li Mu looked at Old Zhan with a look of disdain and said,""Moreover, do you think I don't know? Father sent you here to retire. How could he punish you? Hurry up and catch her!"
"No, no, no. Ninth Prince, why don't you change to another one? This really won't do!”
Old Zhan had a bitter look on his face. F * ck, although His Majesty might not kill him, it was still possible for him to scold and beat him up!
"Hmph, Old Zhan, don't force me to use underhanded methods. When the time comes, I'll directly poison all the wild beasts here to death. Let's see what you can do! Hurry up and bring it over! We'll still be good friends!"
Li Mu snorted coldly and looked at Old Zhan with a serious expression.
Old Zhan looked at Li Mu hesitantly. He was quite familiar with Li Mu and knew that Li Mu was not joking. If he really did not give it to him, he might really poison him.
"Sigh!" Old Zhan sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said to Li Mu,""Ninth Prince, just this once. If there's a next time, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me anymore!”
"Hehe, I knew you were the best, Old Zhan. Don't worry, there won't be a next time!”Li Mu chuckled and held Old Zhan's arm happily. He said,""I still want to drink and eat meat with you. Why would I harm you?”
"Hmph, I hope Your Majesty won't be too angry this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid my old bones won't be able to hold on!”Old Zhan glanced at Li Mu in annoyance, but his eyes were still full of affection.
Shaking his head, he helplessly went to grab the Crested Ibis.
The Crested Ibis was covered in white feathers and red fur. It looked like a burning bird. Because it was extremely rare, it was considered auspicious when it was occasionally seen by people!
Now, many people mistakenly thought that the Crested Ibis was a phoenix!
Old Zhan caught the Crested Ibis and put it in a cage. He handed it to Li Mu and said in a low voice.
"Ninth Prince, this bird is very precious. If you can avoid it, try not to eat it. This is a phoenix, an auspicious sign!”
"Nene, okay, okay, I'll listen to you!”Li Mu's eyes were almost on the Crested Ibis. He didn't care about Old Zhan's words. He just perfunctorily accepted the Crested Ibis.
"Hehehe, Old Zhan, then I'll come to you next time. I'll be leaving!”
Li Mu waved at Old Zhan with a smile and ran away.
Old Zhan looked at Li Mu's departing figure and a doting smile appeared on his face. Soon, his face fell and he muttered,""I'd better hurry up and apologize to His Majesty, lest I really get slapped to death by His Majesty!”
.....
As for Li Mu, after receiving the prepared gift, he naturally ran directly to the place where his new backer was. As for who this new backer was, let's talk about it in the next chapter!
