In the autumn of the 25th year of Yanguo's Xuanwei, on the morning of October 3, His Majesty the Emperor took 10,000 troops, nearly 60 civil and military officials, and more than 30 outstanding young people of Yanguo who participated in the hunt to Dongshan for hunting in the sound of several rumbling cannon salutes.

Dongshan, also known as Donghuang Mountain, is about 200 miles away from the Holy City. The holy city was built in a river valley and surrounded by mountains. Donghuang Mountain is the name of a mountainous area to the east of the Holy City. Because the highest mountain is called Donghuang, that mountainous area is also called Donghuang Mountain, with an area of about 500 miles.

After the establishment of the Yan Kingdom, Donghuang Mountain was designated as a special hunting ground for the royal family, and idle people were not allowed to enter. Compared with the mountains around the Holy City, Donghuang Mountain is relatively low, and the mountains are still quite flat, and it is not where the dangerous mountains and bad waters are. However, the Holy City is full of mountains, so Donghuang Mountain is not isolated, behind it is an unknown tall mountain range, the mountain is dangerous, and there are many prey in it that ordinary people cannot catch.

Therefore, for safety reasons, Donghuang Mountain has always been guarded, in order to prevent the fierce beasts of other mountains from breaking in, and to ensure the absolute safety of the royal hunt.

Chi Weihua was injured and was not able to go hunting in Donghuang Mountain with others today. And many young people, including Zuo Xiaoyong and Shi Mutian, rode high-headed horses to follow the ranks of the princes, and set off towards Dongshan with their heads held high.

All the preparations have been stopped before, so after coming to Dongshan, there is no need to arrange too much. According to the previous arrangement, every person who entered the mountains to hunt was equipped with corresponding soldiers, who on the one hand ensured the safety of the hunters, and at the same time provided them with some necessary assistance, but could not directly participate in the hunting. All the princes, those young people are the same, the princes are all fifty, and Shi Mutian is eighty!

After they arrived, everyone saw that the emperor's line had already been built, and someone was waiting there. It was not the first time that almost all the young people present had come out to hunt, but this was definitely the first time with the emperor, and it was still Dongshan. Not only are they excited, but they are eager to try.

The princes are also full of energy, wanting to perform well and strive to get a good impression in front of the emperor. The prince took the horsewhip, sat on the dragon chair, and looked at the young people who were participating in the hunt standing beside him, "I have already said that the scope of this year's hunt is no longer limited to Dongshan. We have to go inside, there are more beasts there, in order to get a greater harvest, of course, there may be certain dangers, I will ask you again now, if anyone is willing to quit, if anyone is willing, I will definitely not blame!"

These young people are not stupid, not to mention that the princes are staring at the chair, their eyes are hot, those young people don't want to have a good future in the future, retreat at this time, what will the emperor think of himself? Not to mention just hunting, there are so many troops, even if they go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, they can't frown at this time.

Seeing that everyone looked firm, the emperor nodded happily, "Let's go!"

The autumn hunt has officially begun!

The first day is naturally in Higashiyama. Since it was not early the day after arrival, everyone's harvest today was not very good. The emperor himself only hit a roe deer, a few hares, and everyone else was about the same.

In the evening, the young people sat in the open space at the foot of the mountain, set up a fire, ate 'meat' and drank wine, and the emperor seemed to be infected and joined the young people.

The second day, the third day, the harvest is slightly larger, but it is not very rich, a lot of roe deer, hares, foxes, a kind, wolves are very few, bears are very few, the fourth prince Li Yin captured a tiger, it is a surprise!

On the eighth day of the hunt, the emperor decided to head to the back mountain of Dongshan!

Xijian has been following you by the emperor's side, not leaving an inch, but there is something wrong with the three laws, and he did not accompany him.

The terrain of the East Mountain is relatively open, the mountain is wide, relatively flat, and not sinister, but once you reach the back mountain, the form turns sharply down, and the mountain that towers into the clouds cannot be seen at a glance, and the top is full of clouds and mist, and the straight peaks are steep, the boulders are isolated, and the distance between the mountains is very narrow, and the army cannot come in at all, let alone the military horses.

In Higashiyama, horses are very important when hunting, because horses can go on a rampage here. But behind the eastern mountain, the horse immediately lost its usefulness.

This is also the reason why the emperor decided to come to Houshan.

There are very few people here, there are a lot of wild animals, and there are many fierce large animals, even the birds in the sky are even more 'fat'. Because the mountain road is too difficult to travel, it is very difficult to replenish, so it is impossible to bring many soldiers into the mountain. Even the emperor himself brought thirty Praetorian Guard masters.

It was already cumbersome for the other princes to bring a maximum of ten people, and when the young people saw it, it was even more impossible for them to bring more, so each of them only brought five soldiers with him, and the other soldiers and ministers stayed in Dongshan.

Although the terrain and environment are much more treacherous, the rewards are also extremely rich. On the first day I came to Houshan, I fought more than 30 tigers alone, more than I had in the eight days in Dongshan combined.

In the evening, the emperor was happy, and did not leave the back mountain to go to Xingyuan, but sent someone to inform the people of Xingyuan, and rested in the back mountain at night. The same roasted 'meat' was drunk, and the emperor was very happy, and the princes did their best to make the emperor happy, while the young people were completely immersed in this state of euphoria, and they were all chatting about how they would fight the tigers during the day, how they would improve tomorrow, and so on.

The people present, none of them are ordinary people, they are all martial artists who have good hands, Zuo Xiaoyong is the realm of martial arts, very good, with a strong bow in his hand, killing a tiger is not too dangerous, and the emperor, everyone can see clearly, the people who may be present, in terms of martial arts cultivation, he is the highest.

I don't know if they were inspired by the first day, or if everyone forgot the danger of the back mountain, or because they were too confident in their own abilities, the hunting team unconsciously moved quickly deeper into the back mountain.

The next day's harvest was more abundant, and the soldiers who had followed them were too busy, and some of the small prey, such as hares, had been discarded, and the hunters were no longer interested in small prey.

On the third day, it was still the same!

On the fourth day, the prince was injured in the morning, and was injured by a huge bear, but fortunately the sword was not far away, and he was rescued in time, the injury was not serious, but he could no longer hunt, the prince had no choice but to return, the emperor may be really happy, and did not blame the prince for his incompetence, but the prince still looked very uneasy at the brothers before leaving. In the afternoon, the Third Prince, the Seventh Prince, and several young people in the Holy City were also injured to varying degrees and returned the same way.

In the evening, Xi Jian came to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, let's leave tomorrow!"

The Emperor nodded, "The beasts inside are indeed powerful, but I really haven't had such 'excitement' for many years." Xi Jian thought for a while and said, "Okay, my brother understands!"

When his brother spoke, he was very happy, and what a younger brother could say, naturally he could only accompany him. However, Xi Jian was not worried about the emperor's safety, but about those princes, after all, he was very clear about his cultivation, and the emperor would not have any problems. What I'm afraid of is that something happens to a certain prince, and if he really wants the emperor to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, he probably won't be able to bear the blow of losing a child in old age!
