My older brother said I'm invincible.

Chapter 96 Wild Buffalo Mountain? Funiu Mountain!
Li Xuanba ignored Zhang Du's flattery and hurriedly looked at the dead people in the distance.

"Go check on those people! Is there anyone who can be saved?"

Everyone hurriedly dismounted, and many went up to investigate. Of the dead who had rushed out earlier, only one person had survived and was not trampled by the bison, while the others were already dead.

The group brought the man out and gave him some drinks.

The man drank some water, then rose unsteadily to thank everyone.

"Who are you? What's the deal with this cow?"

Li Xuanba asked.

The man quickly replied that he, like the others he had met before, was a dead man who had been kidnapped by thieves, but was later rescued and fled into the mountains. They couldn't find anything to eat in the mountains, so they wanted to hunt wild buffalo to eat something they wouldn't normally dare to eat.

During their search, they spotted the enormous creature, which delighted them even more. They thought they could eat this beast for several days, so they set a trap. However, their hunt failed. They injured the creature but failed to kill it. The creature chased them, and they scattered. Only the slowest of them were caught, and in the end, only he survived by sheer luck.

Li Xuanba sighed again.

There are oppressive governments outside the mountains, and wild beasts roam within them.

The other person was all alone, and he couldn't possibly survive alone in the mountains, so Li Xuanba told him to come with him and planned to settle him in his farm.

As for the rest of the people in the mountains, according to the deceased, they were all poor souls who had run there together, and he had not heard of any thieves or outsiders.

Li Xuanba decided not to go any further. He ordered the dead to be buried and then returned.

Zhang Du ordered his men to bury the animal, while he himself took a few men. They bled the ox, skinned it, and divided the meat among themselves. After burying the deceased, the group marched down the mountain in a grand procession.

When the group descended the mountain and walked along the path towards the farm, they encountered the people from Meng Village once again.

When the people of Mengcun heard that Sanlangjun had gone hunting in the mountains, they spontaneously set up guards on various paths. On the one hand, they helped to ambush the prey, and if a large prey tried to escape, they could help surround it to facilitate Sanlang's hunting. On the other hand, they also guarded against thieves. Although there weren't many thieves in Xingyang at the moment, they still had to be careful. If they saw any strangers, they would go in and report to them.

Everyone immediately noticed the large bull's head carried by the knights, and some also noticed the large bull hide.

The hunters were all stunned.

"Is that the wild buffalo from the mountains?"

"Yes! Look! That horn, a small piece is broken off! Isn't that it!"

"That beast was always elusive and loved to hurt people! We went up the mountain several times but couldn't catch him! But today he's been eliminated!"

The crowd chattered amongst themselves.

Zhang Du spurred his horse forward and shouted, "The wild buffalo in Wild Buffalo Mountain has been eliminated by Third Master! You need not fear any longer!"

Some hunters, out of curiosity, stepped forward and asked the soldiers how the bison had been killed.

The soldiers were quite the storyteller, vividly recounting the tale of their third son killing a giant wild buffalo with a hammer—their storytelling was truly captivating.

By the time Li Xuanba and his group left, the hunters of Meng Village could no longer sit still.

They all started talking about Li Xuanba's subjugation of the wild ox.

Li Xuanba brought the wild ox back to the village, cooked the ox's meat, and distributed it to the warriors. Li Xiuning also mingled among them, eating and drinking heartily with everyone, having a great time.

As darkness fell, Li Xuanba led his elder sister back to the city.

For Li Xiuning, this hunt was something to brag about for a long time, but Li Xuanba's mind was not on the hunt. After returning to his residence, he asked Liu Chounu to help him purchase some farm tools.

However, news of Wild Buffalo Mountain was spreading rapidly across various regions.

It's probably because the people haven't heard any good news for a long time, and it's rare to have something to talk about. People from Mengcun often travel between villages, exchanging their hunted goods with others. As this news spread, it became a topic of discussion everywhere.

On this day, Li Jiancheng was in his mansion meeting with many of his retainers, discussing some important matters with them.

After discussing some secret matters, the group started chatting again. Suddenly, one of the retainers said with a smile, "Young master, the Third Young Master has accomplished something great this time!" As soon as he said this, several other people even chimed in to agree.

Li Jiancheng was completely bewildered. "Third brother?"

"What big thing did the third brother do?"

The retainer laughed and said, "Previously, the young master told us that the Third Young Master was born with superhuman strength and was destined to be a fierce general. We didn't believe it at the time, thinking that the young master only said that because he cared about his younger brother. This time, we truly believe it!"

“Some people outside said that Third Prince had learned that there was a wild ox in Wild Ox Mountain, which was three zhang long, with eyes like lanterns and horns like spears. It could summon black winds, drive away evil spirits, and eat people. So he took his attendants to Wild Ox Mountain to get rid of this monster.”

"Yesterday, Sanlangjun encountered that monster on the top of Wild Buffalo Mountain. The wild buffalo charged at him, and Sanlangjun grabbed its horns with his bare hands, preventing it from moving forward! The two struggled like this for a day, until the wild buffalo grew tired. Sanlangjun then threw a hammer at it, hitting the wild buffalo squarely in the face. The wild buffalo's skull was hard and strong, but Sanlangjun's hammer was so powerful that it pierced through the bone, killing the wild buffalo!"

"Many people have seen the head of that bison; it was indeed enormous!"

"People outside are talking about this. I've heard that the hunters at the foot of the mountain now call Wild Buffalo Mountain Funiu Mountain!"

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, then began to calculate in his mind, "Three zhang long?? Is that even a cow? Even an elephant isn't that big! And it can summon black winds? This sounds like pure folk nonsense."

Li Jiancheng had encountered this several times before. The well water would become muddy and cloudy, and some people would say that they saw a yellow dragon in the well. Li Jiancheng had even joined in the fun a few times, but it turned out to be all nonsense.

However, judging from the certainty of the retainer's words, Saburo probably really did hunt down a very large bison. Perhaps the way he hunted it was so amazing that it was spread as a rumor.

From what they're saying, does it mean the younger brother subdued a bison with his bare hands?

Li Jiancheng suddenly became excited. He had been waiting for his younger brother to recover soon and perform at his full potential. Now it seemed that his brother was getting close to his true level!
Everyone showered him with compliments, saying, "Third Young Master is incredibly strong and brave; he will surely become a fierce general in the army, unmatched by anyone!"

Li Jiancheng regained his composure and shook his head. "This is not Xuanba's full strength. He is still young. When he grows up a few more years, you will know that the third son's bravery is unmatched, even by the Duke of Chu, who is known as the overlord of our time. He can truly be compared to Xiang Yu of ancient times."

As everyone listened to Li Jiancheng's words, their eyes became serious.

In the past, when Li Jiancheng boasted about his younger brother like this, they all took it as a joke, but now, they really believed it.

What you said, young master, is true!

This young man looks frail, but who would have thought that such a small body could contain such immense strength?!
Of course, Li Jiancheng was not the only one who heard this rumor.

Li Shimin sat in the training ground with several warriors, listening to them excitedly recount the story of Li Xuanba subduing the wild ox. Li Shimin's eyes widened.

"Wait a moment!"

Li Shimin interrupted the man, asking incredulously, "You're saying my brother caught a charging wild ox with his bare hands?? And then lifted it up and slammed it to the ground??"

This story has several versions and is still being updated, constantly being exaggerated.

"It's true, someone saw it with their own eyes!"

"That bull's head is currently on the farm outside. Many people have gone to see it. There's a big hole in its forehead, which they say was pierced by a golden mace!"

"How incredibly hard this ox skull is! It can be pierced through by a golden mace. I can't even imagine who in the world will be able to fight against Third Young Master when he grows up."

Li Shimin frowned. "Who told you all this?"

"It was said by the young master's younger brother, the fourth young master!"

Li Shimin suddenly realized.

"Oh, it's him. Never mind then, let's continue training."

"Shimin!!"

Suddenly a familiar voice came from afar. Li Shimin shuddered involuntarily and slowly turned his head, only to see his elder sister, Li Xiuning, standing not far away, staring at him intently with an unfriendly expression.

Li Shimin looked bewildered.

What's going on?
I didn't do anything this time!
