211 Hunting

After the salute, we went to the Hebi Palace for a banquet, and Li Dan suddenly began to cry at the banquet - with his current age, it is rare to be able to last so long - the concubine of Qi State hugged him and reluctantly led the ministers to make a birthday gift to her mother, then handed him over to the nurse and hurriedly withdrew.

The mother was not affected by Li Dan in the slightest, and with a smile she ordered everyone to drink and eat, and drank until three o'clock in the afternoon, and then got up again and led everyone to hunt in the garden.

Nowadays, whenever there is a Son of Heaven, whether it is hunting, jujuing, playing ball, archery, or throwing pots, the Son of Heaven must be the first, and then play drums and follow the mountain shouts, and then it is the time for the subordinates to play. Although my mother is not the Son of Heaven, she is almost the same as the Son of Heaven today. Therefore, when we arrived in the garden, we lined up the array, and there were insiders presenting a bow to my mother on the side, and my mother bent down and grabbed it, held the bow in her hand, shook it slightly, and said with a smile: "I haven't practiced for a long time, I don't know how the skills are." Before everyone had the opportunity to advise, they had already ridden their horses and galloped forward.

There was already a guard driving a group of deer in front, the mother rode to the front of the encirclement, straight bow and arrows, the long arrows decorated with golden feathers rushed like a star, suddenly did not enter the neck of the head of the stag, the deer four hooves of the deer, the ground paused, and the mother left two arrows followed, one arrow hit the body of the deer, and another arrow hit the neck of the deer, the mother from the beginning to the end did not rein in the horse, rushed through the herd of deer, to the right, and then came back with three arrows in succession, hit a fawn.

The mother galloped back to the middle of the crowd with one hand to hold the reins, and the mount under her let out a hiss, suddenly stopped, and stopped in front of everyone, at this moment the guards killed the dying stag, pulled out the arrows on the deer, and the head of the person knelt in front of him with the arrows, and raised the mountain shouting: "Long live!" I listened to the mountain crying like a tide, all of them were left and right Jinwu, left and right Weiwuwei and so on were shouting "Long live", I was slightly stunned, and then I heard the next Ah Huan said loudly: "Long live the Queen Mother!" Long live", there are also shouting "Long live Your Majesty", at first it was a mess, and then it was neatly with the shouts of the guards, one by one "Long live" like thunder and tide, and I don't know who led the head, suddenly everyone got off the horse, fell on the ground, knelt down and worshiped the mountain and called like the son of heaven - so the people who still sat on the horse seemed very abrupt, a few people hesitated for a moment, turned over and dismounted, or knelt or sit, and lay on the ground, only the king of Huo, the king of Cao, the king of Yue, the king of Qi, the king of Xu, the king of Xuancheng, and the elderly nobles of one or two still sat on the horse.

The mother slowly raised her bow, and then she heard the sound gradually decrease, and in the huge garden, only the sound of the wind blowing and the chirping of birds was heard.

The mother looked at the several sect kings who were still sitting on the horse with a smile, her eyes were gentle, and there was no anger: "Uncle Huo Wang and the others are old and frail, so they don't have to compete with the juniors, and they will rest in the tent, and wait for them to present their prey." ”

Huo Wang Yuanliang glanced at his mother, beckoned to the servants beside him, got off the horse tremblingly under the support of the servants, bowed to his mother, and said: "The ministers are too old to drive, and the hunting has to be done by the children and grandchildren." He straightened up, but smiled at his mother: "The Queen Mother is also high in the Spring and Autumn Period, such a thing of chasing and driving away, competing for the first place, it is better not to take risks in person, otherwise if the jade body is damaged, what can the saint do?"

Mother said: "That's very true, I have my prey today, so it's better not to rob it with these juniors." He also looked at the king: "Uncle Huo Wang is a grandparent, you can wait for your juniors to be filial piety in the camp tent, you are young and vigorous, but you must not be lazy." ”

King Qi was named by his mother, so he could only get down from his horse and say to his mother: "Yes." The rest of the people also saw the opportunity to dismount, and the old ones confessed to their mothers one by one, and the mother was not reluctant, and after warm words of encouragement, they turned their heads and said to us aloud: "Today's hunting, although it is for fun, there are also third-class colored heads, the first name is given a purple coat collar, a longbow, a gold cake and a brocade robe, and a peacock is given to the deer hunter - go!" At the end, he raised his chin, and immediately there was drum music, and someone repeated the mother's meaning in a loud voice, and the military flag changed, and the order was passed out layer by layer.

My relatives rushed into the forest with their retinue, leaving many female dependents here, you look at me, I look at you.

Seeing that there was still hesitation here, the mother smiled and said, "If you want to go, bring someone with you, if you don't want to go, you don't have to force it." "There are a few plain and cheerful and lively county lords and county lords who saluted their mothers, led their entourage, and those who didn't want to go got off the horse, and also went to rest and play, but I was in the hesitant bush - I wanted to go, but all the hunting things were taken away by Zheng Bo, I have neither eagles and dogs here, nor bows and arrows, quite embarrassing, and this hunting is not like Li Sheng or Li Rui took me out for sightseeing in the past. Cheetahs, and at least dozens, rashly entered the forest, one is not careful, falling, falling is small, in case of someone's cold arrow, or by someone's eagle dog injury, wouldn't it be a loss?

My mother turned her head to look around, and the first thing her eyes fell on my face: "Taiping wants to go?" glanced at a few of us, and said lightly: "If you want to go, go quickly, it's too late, and the prey will be snatched away." ”

I turned my head to look at Ah Huan, she brought something, and when I saw her, she drove her horse forward, and bowed her hand to her mother on the horse, "Please go." ”

The mother bowed slightly: "Okay." Because Ah Huan did not have a male servant, he pointed out a team of guards to go with her, I saw Ah Huan go, and I also made a decision in my heart, looked at my mother, and said semi-coquettishly: "My son wants to go, but there is no bow and arrow." ”

The mother smiled and said, "Only the first name of the family has a longbow reward, you are good, you haven't finished yet, you have already asked me for a bow first." But she ordered someone to choose a smaller one from her bow, and beckoned, but she called a team of guards, and called a group of female soldiers to come over, and the female soldier team headed by it was none other than Hu Lu Duobao, who had tanned a lot, and was stronger, and if her face was rounder, she would be on a par with the big-shouldered and round-waisted honor guards who often sat on the verandah of the temple.

My mother personally handed the bow to me, squeezed my hand and said, "You are not familiar with these, just fight some small beasts, and when you meet wild beasts or the like, don't be greedy, get around as soon as possible - you protect the princess outside, don't ask her to go deep into the woods, be sure to protect her thoroughly." ”

When I saw my mother like this, I felt a little uneasy in my heart, and after thinking about it, since she was willing to let me pass, it should be no big deal, so I casually responded, led dozens of guards, and chased Ah Huan all the way. 166 Reading Network
