Chapter 331 Yan Gaoqing Obtains the Golden Lion Heart
Sizi's expression suddenly turned serious, and her voice lowered, "But... the tide of darkness surged in, and in that cold winter of 756, the rebel army crashed against the sturdy stone walls of Changshan Castle like a flood..."
The city walls trembled, the stones wept... and what was even more heartbreaking was that the little lion Yan Jiming... was swept away by the fierce waves.
...Finally, the castle gates were forced open. Grandpa Yan Gaoqing, chained in black iron chains, was dragged to Luoyang, the lair of the great demon king An Lushan.
The rhinoceros suddenly stood up, the sound of which was like the clash of metal and stone:
"The Demon King An Lushan roared with blood-red eyes: 'Yan Gaoqing! How dare you defy me?' Guess how the Golden Lion answered?"
Sizi straightened his little chest and vigorously imitated a roar, "A real lion holds its head high, its golden mane burning! He glared at the Demon King and roared out the traitor's crimes one by one, his voice louder than thunder! The Demon King trembled with rage and ordered his men to rip out the lion's tongue to shut him up..."
She paused for a moment, catching her breath, and began to speak in the gentlest yet most powerful voice: "But at that very moment! Grandpa Yan Gaoqing did something that moved heaven and earth—he! He actually! Bit off his own tongue! And spat out his mouthful of blood and rage like the hottest flames at the Demon King!"
Little Sizi suddenly opened his arms: "Look, this golden flame has formed a lion's heart, which even darkness cannot devour!" Then he bowed deeply, and everyone in the tent fell silent for a moment.
"That year, Grandpa Yan Gaoqing, the Golden Lion, returned to the stars forever at the age of sixty-five. But little listeners, the light of a hero will never be extinguished! His story is recorded in a magic book called 'Tang Wen Shi Yi,' waiting for brave children to discover it." Si Zi recited the story with tears glistening in her eyes.
"Later, a great poet named Wen Tianxiang, when writing an epic poem called 'Ode to Righteousness,' praised Grandpa Golden Lion in this way—"
The ox began to imitate the bard's tone: "For Zhang Suiyang's teeth, for Yan Changshan's tongue! — This is the uncompromising 'Golden Lionheart'!"
"What then?"
"Later, just when the Seven-Colored Candy Kingdom was in its most chaotic moment, the newly enthroned young King Suzong ascended the throne. He actually... actually appointed Shi Siming as the 'Fanyang,' which is the future world's southwest of Beijing, the 'Iron Hyena' chief king, and was called the Fanyang Jiedushi! Oh dear, this is as dangerous as entrusting the sweetest honey jar to a gluttonous bear!"
"In the second year, 757, Shi Siming assembled a whole army of 100,000 'Iron Hippos or Skinny Hyenas,' some plump and round, others skinny and emaciated!"
Sizi stretched out her tender little hand and began to gesture exaggeratedly, "A dark mass trapped another brave general, Li Guangbi, in 'Taiyuan,' which is the big stone city southwest of Taiyuan, Shanxi in the future world! Taiyuan City swayed and wobbled like a small boat in a storm..."
Just then, An Lushan, the big-bellied hippopotamus demon king, was 'snap'ed by his most trusted baby... and fell into a permanent sleep! The little ox mysteriously made a throat-slitting gesture, startling Shi Siming, who quickly gathered his 'Iron-Lean Hyena Legion' and fled back to their lair in Fanyang to hide.
"But guess what? That year, when the snowflakes were falling softly, Shi Siming suddenly turned on us!" Si Zi's eyes widened, her cheeks puffed out as she mimicked a fierce monster, then her eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she swung her little feet and said, "He brought thirteen super-sweet candy counties and eighty thousand 'iron-clad hyena soldiers,' making the atmosphere a bit tense..."
The result was that Si Zi suddenly knelt before the young King Suzong, clinging to Qiu Rongmu's leg and whining, "Your Majesty~ I surrender! I'll be the most obedient little boy from now on!" Si Zi shook his big head, his two little tufts of hair bobbing along with it. "The young king of the Seven-Colored Sugar Kingdom was so happy he was practically sparkling. He immediately made Shi Siming a bling-bling 'King of Righteousness' crown and put it on him, and even let him continue to be the biggest king of the Fanyang 'Iron-Lean Hyena Legion'!"
Sizi covered her mouth, letting out a giggle through her fingers: "Zi'an, Mu Tou, do you really think that this skinny hyena's number one villain will become as soft and cuddly as a lamb?" Sizi leaned closer, her bright eyes curving into a fox-like smile, "The answer is in the next story!"
