"Go up, bite it!" Zhao Zhen and a group of eunuchs around him shouted wildly while holding the railings. In front of them was a huge deep pit. Li Zhang had just entered the yard, but he could guess the roars from the pit, and I was afraid there was something like a beast inside.

"What are you doing?" Li Zhang walked up to him and asked. The guards around him knew him, so naturally he would not stop him at this time.

"Cousin! You are back!" Zhao Zhen turned around when he heard Li Zhang's words, and immediately showed an ecstatic expression when he saw him. Then he rushed forward and hugged him, and refused to let go no matter what.

Li Zhang was also shocked by Zhao Zhen's enthusiasm, but then he showed an understanding smile. Zhao Zhen was born in the deep palace and had never experienced the value of friendship. It would be nothing if it was always like this. However, Li Zhang's appearance later made him realize the importance of friends. However, Li Zhang suddenly went to the northwest, and he went there for most of the time. This feeling of gaining and losing again made Zhao Zhen even more uncomfortable, so he was so enthusiastic when he saw himself.

"Okay, I just came back today. I was called into the palace by the empress dowager before I even entered the house. It was all because of you!" In the end, Li Zhang finally let go of Zhao Zhen, and then said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

When Zhao Zhen heard Li Zhang mention Liu E, he smiled helplessly and said, "I knew that the eldest lady would definitely let my cousin come, but cousin, you are here just in time. You can just help me persuade the eldest lady!"

"You two are worry-free. One asks me to help you listen to her, and the other asks me to persuade her to follow your wishes. In the end, I, an intermediary, are the hardest to do!" Li Zhang said helplessly. He and Zhao Zhen had no scruples and said whatever they had, but he was not so bold to Liu E.

When Zhao Zhen heard Li Zhang say this, he also showed a rather embarrassed expression. However, at this time, Li Zhang leaned his head and looked at the big pit behind him, and then asked curiously: "What are you doing here? What beast is the pit locked in? I heard it outside the yard just now?"

When Zhao Zhen heard Li Zhang ask about this, he excitedly pulled Li Zhang to the pit to watch. As a result, Li Zhang was shocked to find that there was a tiger and a lion in the pit, but both sides seemed to know that the other party was not easy to mess with, so he did not launch an attack easily at this time.

"Where did the lions come from?" Li Zhang was stunned when he saw the lions in the big pit. Not only were there tigers in the Song Dynasty, but it was also quite common. He often heard that tigers hurt people in some places, but lions did not, because this thing usually lives in Africa, and it is said that there are also in India, but it seems that they are not the same breed.

"This is a big food merchant brought back from overseas. It is said that he wanted to do business in Guangzhou, so he gave the court many rare treasures, including many living things, such as this lion and even a rhino. Unfortunately, he died before he was transported to the capital." Zhao Zhen said excitedly at this time.

"Are the big food merchants?" Li Zhang showed a disdainful expression when he heard this, because as far as he knew, many of these people in the cannibals did business in Guangzhou, and the Song Dynasty did not discriminate against them, and even made some big food merchants become officials. However, when the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, a big food merchant named Pu took the lead in surrendering to the Mongols and helped the Mongols slaughter countless people in the Song Dynasty, so he had no favoritism for these big food merchants.

"Cousin, many people say that tigers are the king of all beasts, but I think this lion is not small. I heard that the natives overseas also call lions the king of beasts, so I wanted to see who they are more powerful, so I put them together." Zhao Zhen said with a smile again at this time.

Although Zhao Zhen said it easily, Li Zhang felt a stern when he heard this. He originally thought that someone else encouraged Zhao Zhen to do this, because according to Zhao Zhen's previous personality, he sounded good and good-looking, but he was a little cowardly. With his personality like this, he probably wouldn't have thought of putting tigers and lions together to fight. But now he has such a thought, which shows that Zhao Zhen's personality has changed, but I don't know whether this change is good or bad?

"Roar~" Just as Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen were talking, the lion in the pit finally lost patience and roared at the tiger and rushed over, but the tiger was very agile and hopped over with his limbs. Zhao Zhen may have carefully selected that the tiger was about the same size as a lion, but the lion's neck was full of mane, so it looked larger, which also made the tiger very cautious.

"Fighting up!" Zhao Zhen saw the confrontational beast finally breaking the calm, and he couldn't help but scream again with excitement, then shook Li Zhang's arm and said, "Cousin, do you think a tiger is powerful or a lion is powerful?"

"No need to watch it, tigers are 90% sure to win!" Li Zhang smiled calmly. There were many debates about who is better than tigers or lions in later generations, and some people even used tigers and lions for experiments. The result was that tigers' winning rate was far higher than lions. This can be found on later generations. Moreover, the largest Siberian tiger can reach four meters in size and weigh nearly eight hundred kilograms, while lions generally weigh only more than five hundred kilograms, which is not a heavyweight at all.

In addition, it is said that later Americans once made a movie about lions. The last scene should be that the lion bites the tiger to death, but unexpectedly, the tiger, who acted as a villain, bites two lions to death one after another. The last lion was only bitten by the help of a cold gun by humans. Moreover, the lion was bitten seriously injured and died in the end. It is worth mentioning that this tiger is still the mother.

"Cousin, you are so confident, why don't we make a bet?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but show a look of suspicion when he heard Li Zhang's words. He said to Li Zhang again with great enthusiasm. In fact, he was not sure that the lion could win, but just took the opportunity to add a lottery, which made it more interesting to play.

"Okay, but if I win, you have to promise me something!" Li Zhang nodded immediately.

In fact, Li Zhang had a lot of words to say to Zhao Zhen, but seeing his high interest, he couldn't bear to disturb him at this time. As for the fight between tigers and lions, although it was a bit cruel, it was not later generations, so I won't say anything about lions. Tigers have always been beasts in the Song Dynasty, and people often die in the tiger's mouths, so this is far from the time to sympathize with these beasts.
