391 Wins
On the third day of the spring hunt, everyone can hunt and run horses to their heart's content and freely.
So Yan Zichen became the busiest one, and was invited by a group of people to come over and invite him over, all of whom invited him to go hunting with him, and also organized some interesting hunting duels, and invited Yan Zichen to participate together.
Yan Zichen agreed to this, mingling with his group of new fans, and the entire Royal Hunting Garden was full of people and laughter everywhere for a while.
The other members of the Yan family formed a family viewing team and rode horses to visit this vast hunting ground that condensed various landforms and vegetation forms.
Yan Zike even brought a bow and arrows.
And this is an important reason why Yan Qi decided not to play with Wu Yue and stay with her uncle.
"There's a rabbit passing by. Yan Qi reminded her uncle.
"Huh. "Her uncle had no intention of opening the bow at all.
"I won't laugh at you if I miss, trust me. Yan Qi continued to bewitch.
"Huh. Her uncle continued to play dumb.
Yan Qi: "Don't be embarrassed. ”
Yan Zike: "Hehehe. ”
Yan Qi: "Okay, I'll be honest, in fact, I made a bet with Xiao Jiu, he thinks you can't shoot a bow, and I think you will, whoever loses will have to eat a whole leg of lamb alive tonight." ”
Young Master Yan Jiu: "Not really. ”
Yan Qi: "Third brother, you should be chatting with Xiao Jiu at this time, stop him!"
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Yan Qi to get her wish to see her uncle's heroic posture of shooting arrows, when passing by a meadow infested with a lot of yellow sheep, Mr. Yan Zike, who cherished arrows like gold, finally took off his bow, which was a small slightly angled bow with a beautiful shape and smooth arc, and the projectile could reach 300 meters, and the manufacturing process looked very sophisticated.
Yan Zike raised his bow and opened it a few times, quite professionally, and then put on the arrow and aimed it at a yellow sheep staring at this box vigilantly from a distance - I have to say that the posture is the most standard shooting posture taught in the academy's riding and archery class, but it is used by this person, the shoulders and neck, waist and ridge, arms, all the lines are combined together, and it becomes a very beautiful and elegant artistic painting.
The elegant snake spirit unhurriedly shot an arrow with a cool temperament, no murderous aura, no sharp force, it was so leisurely, without emotion, that the yellow sheep didn't even realize that it was coming to kill it, and in a daze, the arrow had already reached its body, and then it fell down calmly.
"Good archery. Yan Qi praised her uncle.
"Hehehe. Yan Zike took the bow and said modestly to his niece, "Far less than An An." ”
Yan Qi used to put a small flag made of red silk next to the prey to mark, everyone hunted can not be immediately brought on the horse, like a rabbit pheasant or something small prey is okay, if you hit two or three sheep, deer can not always carry on the shoulder or on the horse, and always can not hunt one to send back first and then run back to continue to fight, so everyone hunts a big prey after the small red flag is inserted next to the pole to make a mark, and there will be a person responsible for picking the prey according to the eye-catching red mark to collect.
A family of four was about to continue to move forward, when they suddenly heard a horse's hooves rushing here, and they were still calling "Lord Yan", and when they got closer, the man jumped off the horse and saluted Yanzi, and hurriedly said: "Lord Yan, there was a murder case at the north end of the Hunting Garden, and the emperor ordered Lord Yin Qiao of Taiping Mansion to immediately investigate and supervise it." Please go to the crime as soon as possible!"
Yan Zike turned his head and said to the three children: "An An, let's play, Xiaosan Xiaojiu will come with me." After saying no more, he took the horse and ran north.
Third Young Master Yan is going to take the exam this year, Yan Zike took him at this time probably to warm up and accumulate experience for his future career, and Young Master Yan Jiu has always followed him, and at this time, the accident brought both of them to the scene.
Yan Qi didn't mean to follow the onlookers, he saw the three of them away, rode a moat gold trotter for a while, and when he passed by a small arbor forest, he saw Wu Yue and Xiao Chen riding horses and standing under a big camphor tree and talking about something, of course, the main thing was that Wu Yue was talking, and when he saw Yan Qi at a glance, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet: "Xiao Qi, just when you are here, come and comment on it!"
"......" said this, as if Xiao Chen was spreading unreasonable...... "Do you still need to judge Xiao Chen?"
"Hahaha!" Wu Yue laughed, "Look, we're talking about running fast on horseback, the important thing is whether it's in people or horses-Xiao Qi, you talk about it first!"
Yan Qi: "Look." ”
Wu Yue: "......"
Xiao Chen: "......"
Wu Yue: "Forget it, I don't ask you, the trench gold lends me to make it! Xiao Ba, your riding skills are better than mine, now I ride the trench gold to compete with you, let's see who is right, how about it?"
Xiao Chen nodded, Yan Qi got down from the moat and saw the two of them get on the horse and run out, it would take a long time to come down this circle, Yan Qi led Wu Yue's horse to the side to find a place to rest, bypassing a bush, but saw her father sitting alone on a big stone to rest for a long time - after all, it was a physical body, how could he not be tired.
Yan Qi walked over and sat next to her, her father glanced at her, raised his hand and stroked the back of her head, then put his arms on his knees again, squinting his eyes and looking aimlessly into the distance, Yan Qi felt that if there was a cigar at this time, he would definitely have one in his hand, and two more bottles of beer would have to be placed next to him.
"Is it stressed?" Yan Qi cared about her father.
"It's fine. Yan Zichen glanced at her with a smile, "Your father is not so useless." ”
"But you're not three-headed and six-armed after all. "Yan Qidao.
"Don't worry," Yan Zichen laughed, "If I really feel annoyed, I won't bird them, and if I don't have any deterrent power, how can I guard Kyoto and protect the monarch and the people?"
"Then I'm so relieved. Yan Qi tilted his head to look at him, "Dad, I want to ask you, do you like to accept all the arrangements now and in the future?"
Yan Zichen turned around with a smile, leaned over to Yan Qi, and looked into her eyes: "Silly little girl, you don't have to worry about me." I am a person who is not afraid of trouble, challenges, and dangers of life and death. Maybe you feel sorry for me, think that I am like a pawn at the mercy of others, or think that the reputation created by such means is an insult to me, then I tell you: I don't care about any of this. Fame or something, it's all shit, and I never thought to get it, so even if I did, I wouldn't care how I got it. Chick, your father and I, are very vulgar men, what I like is not fame, nor power, what I like and yearn for is very simple to say, but it is difficult to do, do you know what it is?"
"What is it?" Yan Qi asked.
"Victory. A proud and frivolous smile tugged at the corner of Yan Zichen's lips, "It's just victory." Win on the battlefield, win alone with others, and sweep away traitors and ministers. In order to win, I will do anything, and I will do it happily and happily, the process is like if you like archery, just enjoy it, no pressure. ”
"Why didn't I be born ten years early. Yan Qi sighed.
Yan Zichen laughed and grabbed her shoulder: "You can bear to let your mother marry someone else?"
"Well, so I cut my love. Yan Qi spread his hands.
Yan Zichen smiled and rubbed two handfuls on the top of her head, and then asked her: "I was entangled by those boys until midnight last night, and I didn't have time to ask you - you blinded the eyes of that big man?"
"Uh-huh. ”
Yan Zichen looked at her: "What is the reason?"
"It seems that because my skills are not as good as mine, I want to do bad things to me, so that I can't marry anyone in my life. "Yan Qidao.
Yan Zichen's face did not change when he heard this, he only picked up a small pebble from under his feet, and with a flick of his fingertips, the pebble shot into the grass dozens of meters away like lightning, and knocked a wrist-thick cauliflower snake out with a "snap", splashing a cloud of blood mist in the air, and said lightly: "You did a good job, although we didn't take Da Mo in our eyes, it is not suitable to let the envoy with immunity die in this place, otherwise how dare the envoys of other foreign clans come in the future, and how much will it cause some damage to the justice and credibility of our dynasty." However," said the corners of his lips slightly hooked, but not a smile, "if the messenger himself has an accident, then no one can blame." ”
Yan Qi patted her father's knee and smoothed his hair, and said, "Don't make a fuss about this, you're already busy enough, besides, I think the price of blinding him in one eye is not light, after all, he didn't touch me, didn't he." ”
"A woman's kindness. Her father slanted her eyes and despised her.
"Is this to force me to recount my murderous past to prove that I am not a virgin?" Yan Qi moved his fingers and made a look of his hands stained with blood.
"Go aside. Her father grabbed her by the back of her neck and threw her out.
"Compare an arrow, General Yan?" Yan Qi turned around and provoked her father after landing, "If you lose, hand over a month's pocket money!"
"Stinky girl, if I don't give you a little power, I can't hold you!" Yan Zichen patted his ass and got up and strode over.
When Xiao Chen rode back to the big camphor tree, Yan Qi was watching Wu Yue's horse eating and pulling there, when he heard him coming, he turned his head to look at it and asked, "Ah Yue hasn't come back yet?"
Xiao Chen shook his head: "It's probably still behind." ”
The two of them waited for a long time and didn't see Wu Yue come back, so they rode a horse and followed Fang Cai's horse racing route to find it in two ways, Xiao Chen went retrograde, and Yan Qi went straight.
When riding a horse to the northernmost part of the hunting ground, Yan Qi suddenly heard a distant and faint groan, which came from the depths of the woods, and glanced at the room, but in the afterglow, he saw a silver light flashing on the ground, and stepped forward to take a look, and saw that it was the silver ornament on the saddle, and this silver ornament Yan Qi was very familiar with, because it was the accessories on the silver saddle that he got from the Tuhao Emperor.
Yan Qi got down from Wu Yue's horse, tied it to the trunk of a tree at a more conspicuous place on the edge of the forest, and then brought his own bow and arrow, and quietly drilled into the forest, observing the various marks on the ground, and following it to the depths of the trees.
She ran fast for more than ten minutes, but the source of the moaning was never found, and at this time, the place where she was was was far away from the outside world, the noise outside could no longer be transmitted here, and the movement here could not be known to the outside world.
Then Yan Qi saw a corpse on the ground.
This is a young man of eighteen or nineteen, his young face is now bloody and fleshy, his throat is terrible, and his clothes are almost all scratched and covered with blood. With just one glance, Yan Qi was sure that this young man had been dead for a while, so the moaning would not have been made by him, looking at the scars on his face and body, it seemed to be claw marks left by felines, and the throat was more like being torn by fangs, this tragic way of death was really unbearable to look at.
Attacked by a tiger or a leopard? Able to take down an adult strong guy, it should be a tiger. Yan Qi looked around to check the relevant traces, and saw that there were splashes of blood, traces of struggle, and a pinch of tiger hair, and there were signs of tiger claws scratching on the trunks of the surrounding trees.
Of course, there are large carnivorous beasts in the Royal Hunting Garden, and there are many female tigers in pregnancy during this season, in order to feed these mothers and daughters, the male tigers will be more aggressive about the food they can eat.
However, this man was not eaten, and for some unknown reason, perhaps he happened to encounter a tiger that had just been fed, and he was killed because he had trespassed on their territory or inadvertently done something to provoke them.
It's a pity that this young man doesn't know which adult's son. Yan Qi didn't rush to leave to inform the people, but searched deeper again, and a few minutes later, she found a second corpse on the ground that looked similar.
How fierce was this tiger? It actually killed two young men, not to mention that these two men still had bows and arrows on them.
Yan Qi still followed the signs on the ground and searched around, and then found the third and fourth bodies,...... The tenth corpse, without exception, all died tragically under the tiger's minions, and they all died today.
What kind of tiger can be like this? Maybe there is a tiger group in this mountain forest?
Yan Qi looked at the silver ornament that fell from the golden saddle of the trench he was holding in his hand, clenched his bow, and continued to search around the area according to the traces on the ground.
After rounding a huge rock, she heard a groan again, this one was clearer than the one just now, and this sound was enough for her to make a judgment - it was Wu Yue! 166 Reading Network
