Chapter 42: Chasing the Deer

"Ride-ride-" Several horses shuttled through the forest, and Wei Qian, dressed in a male hunting suit, pulled up the bowstring and aimed at the prey in the distance.

An arrow hit, the hare was nailed to the treetops, the royal horse galloped, turned his hand and pulled out the arrow nailed to the hare, and threw it to the red toon behind: "Turn back, let the kitchen make me a sauce rabbit." โ€

Wei Qian rode a white horse, and behind him, Hongchun and Tao Ping each rode a red date horse. The same male dress is dressed with long hair tied up on his forehead to avoid mobility difficulties.

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Seeing that Wei Qian was still interested in hunting, Tao Ping was a little helpless: "I heard that the Xue family has already handed over the letter to the government." โ€

"What's the hurry!" Wei Qian searched for the dense forest, whipped the whip fiercely, and rushed over on the white horse. Raise your bow and aim at a roe deer.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow hit, and the roe deer fell in a pool of blood.

"The Xue family has already guessed these actions, and I have already made arrangements for them. Compared with the Xue family, I care more about the shipyard, I heard that an anonymous person sent a hull drawing, can you find out the identity of that person? โ€

"Not yet." Red Tsubaki gestured to the hunter behind him and stepped forward to help carry the prey down. The man sent a beggar to bring the drawings and demanded a high price. The drawings were bought according to the girl's wishes, and as for the man, although we sent someone to track him down, we found nothing. โ€

"I've seen the drawings, and they're better than the ships used by the current merchants. Talent is the most expensive, and this kind of talent who is proficient in shipbuilding is what I need the most. โ€

Wei Qian and Xuan Juan made a bet that the first step was to establish their own base overseas, and they first needed to dominate the sea area. Warships, indispensable.

Only by building up one's own power can one influence others and create a new world of equality between men and women.

Wei Qian started her own island construction with great interest, and has even chosen an island overseas to use as a transit point.

Tao Ping saw Wei Qian and Hong Chun talking about the shipyard plan, and couldn't help but say, "Are you really going to make that bet with Xuanjuan?" โ€

"Of course, we have supernatural powers, and if we are poor, we will save ourselves, and if we are good, we will save the world. Since you have this ability, why be stingy? โ€

"But it is not so easy to change the concept of the entire Shenzhou, and even give birth to an empress. These days, I also know a little bit about Shenzhou, and if I want to give birth to an empress again, the difficulty is far higher than that of the former Tang Dynasty. โ€

"Tao Ping, what do you think of my arrows?" Twisting and laughing at Tao Ping, Wei Qian shot an arrow casually, without looking at it, the arrow seemed to have spirituality and was flying in the distance.

"When the arrow is pointed, the birds retreat, and the beasts obey. Because I have the absolute power to deter, I can decide with a word. If one day the army of my fingers swept across the continents and oceans, then don't say that I want to support an empress, that is, I say that the sun is in the night, and there is a moon in the day, and no one dares to say a word wrong. โ€

Between countries, in the end, it is still the power that dialogues.

"Tao Ping, the continent at the extreme of the South Seas, that is my goal, I want to build a paradise there. A country where men and women are equal, so that women can also strive for self-improvement. โ€

Hongchun lowered her eyebrows, didn't say a word, and just stood quietly to the side. It was the saintess of Pengsang, who was originally the prince of a country, and agreed with Wei Qian's idea of establishing a country overseas.

"There are too many rules and regulations in Shenzhou, I really can't stand it. Your wisdom and courage are not inferior to me, what is the meaning of tossing in the back house in this life, or you are at ease in the foreign dominance. โ€

"Miss?" Seeing the hunters gathering in the distance, Hongchun reminded in a low voice. After all, the topic these two are talking about can't be heard by outsiders.

Wei Qian immediately changed the topic: "Tao Ping, I pulled you out today to help you relax." Don't mention other worries, let's have a good comparison in this Nanshan hunting ground to see who shoots more prey today.

Nanshan is the first mountain outside Jinling City. It is also the main hunting ground for the nobles of Jinling. Several major families came forward to clear several hunting grounds and set up fences to maintain them together. Every year, they hunt and worship their ancestors, and they use the prey in the hunting grounds.

Even after the mountain was closed, they would deliberately release some of the prey they had raised for the pleasure of the nobles.

Of course, these shot prey must be bought at full price. There is also an entrance fee to go up the mountain to hunt. Even if you can't get anything at the end of the day, you have to pay the entrance fee. It's just that the hunting ground will send some chickens and ducks as a little comfort to the nobles in vain.

As for the common people, if they want to go up the mountain to hunt, they can only go to the other side of the mountain. There are many fierce beasts in the depths of Nanshan, and they all risk their lives to hunt in the mountains, begging for a living on the knife edge. And after the closure of the mountain, no more movement can be made to ensure that the animals can reproduce in the coming year.

"I've lived overseas for a long time, where is the opponent of a daughter like you who is a martial artist?" Tao Ping refused to agree to the fight, and followed Wei Qian cautiously on horseback. After all, the Wei family is a martial arts family, and even Wei Qian's daughter can ride a horse and shoot arrows. But Tao Ping is from overseas, if it is said that swimming and wading are above Wei Qian, but this horseback riding kung fu has only been learned in the past two days.

"Of course, if you're embarrassed to compete with me, a beginner, I don't have anything to say." Tao Ping weighed herself, although she couldn't ride a horse, she had ridden some other fierce beasts when she was in Peng Sangguo.

"Forget it, if you win, you won't be able to win." Wei Qian was bored and continued to look for his prey in the hunting ground.

Suddenly, a flash of gold flashed in the dense forest in the distance.

"That'sโ€”" When I looked at it, it was a brown horse with a golden tail.

"That's today's headhunters?" Wei Qian asked casually.

Every once in a while, the hunting ground chooses a beast and applies a distinct golden pigment to its body. Whoever hunts this beast will not only be free of the entrance fee, but will also receive a prize of fifty gold.

"Tao Ping, since you don't want to hunt more prey, then we will use this golden-tailed wild horse as a bet. Let's see who can hunt it first. โ€

"Okay." The total amount may not be comparable, but the single hunt is partly dependent on luck, and Tao Ping does not think that she will fail.

The two rode horses to pursue, and Hongchun handed over the results of today's hunting to the hunters who followed behind: "You bring the prey back first, and then go back to the Weifu to settle the settlement." But it seems that our girl is lucky today, maybe she doesn't have to pay, and you have to bleed a lot. โ€

One of the hunters smiled and said, "Anyway, this Nanjiao hunting ground is the place of the Jia family, even if you pay for it, you will be an uncle to your niece, which is not a big deal." โ€

Hongchun nodded, and then took two hunters to catch up with Wei Qian and the others.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

There are four hunting grounds in Nanshan, which were jointly built by the four major families, and it is said that the saint also hunted here when he went south. They were named Jiao, Yuan, Li, and Meng.

The Nanjiao hunting ground was guarded by the Jia family, and Jia Yu was handed over to the Jinling people to take care of.

To whom is the money not given? Every time Wei Qian came up to hunt, it was in the Nanjiao Hunting Ground.

And today, not only the Nanjiao Hunting Ground, but also the Nanmeng Hunting Ground is hunting, and it covers the whole field. But it made Xue Jiale so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Whoosh -

A wild boar fell to the ground, and cheers rang out all around.

There were two generals next to him and touted: "Your Highness is good archery." โ€

Situ Yun smiled faintly and looked at the prey he had hit today.

"It's a good hunting ground, but the prey it raises has lost a bit of its wildness. It's a little lighter than a real mountain hunt, and I haven't seen any beasts today. โ€

The two generals who followed couldn't help but roll their eyes: You are a daughter, who dares to let you have an accident? Today, in order to let you have fun, but the whole venue is covered, and the only mountain tigers and bears are locked up. Otherwise, when the time comes, who can afford to be responsible?

Situ Yun looked at the faces of these people and guessed what they meant, but he didn't feel a little bored. But it's normal, who made him almost have an accident here? This time, when he went south to investigate the matter of Tongyuanjiao, the emperor was worried about the safety of his son, so he found a team of people to protect him with great fanfare, and even the monks of the Taoist Division had several high-ranking people to follow. The Lord is purging the Tongyuan Sect and destroying the great enemies of the imperial court.

A military general glanced at his subordinates and released the golden prey that had been prepared earlier.

The Nanmeng hunting ground today uses a deer with a golden stripe on its back. The meaning is auspicious, specially prepared for the seven princes.

Situ Yun ran for a while, and suddenly saw a deer in the distance.

The golden deer came into view, and Situ Yun concentrated on aiming at the prey, holding his bow and shooting arrows, but the deer reacted quickly, jumped up, and ran away quickly.

Later, Situ Yun chased after him and gradually left from the Nanmeng hunting ground.

"No, further on is the Nanjiao Hunting Ground." The generals who followed behind saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly chased after them to stop them.

Who knows who is in the Nanjiao Hunting Ground today, and what if there is a mistake?

The deer galloped, and a golden-tailed wild horse suddenly appeared in front of it. The wild horse also saw the deer in front of him, and at the moment when he was about to collide, the deer twisted to avoid the wild horse. Behind it, an arrow shot straight into the mustang. Immediately afterwards, an arrow in front of him hit the horse's leg again.

The wild horse neighed and fell to the ground.

As for the deer, he didn't go far and was killed by the second arrow galloping ahead.

Situ Yun frowned and retracted his bow to the side. In the distance, two figures, one white and one red, came on horseback, and when they saw their prey being killed, they also frowned, and the scene stiffened.

Hongchun and Situ Yun's subordinates hurried over. Seeing that the three of them were deadlocked, everyone looked at the beast corpse.

"Hey, how come there are two golden beasts?" The red toon asked people to pull back the wild horses, and the guards beside Situ Yun rode over and pulled the deer away.

However, the guard's face was strange, and he held the deer: "Your Highness, look! โ€

Situ Yun had expected it, and knew that he hadn't shot the deer, so he asked people to pull out the arrow, and the word "Wei" was engraved on it.

"Is it someone from the Wei family?" The military general behind Situ Yun made a distinction and said suspiciously: "Where did the man from the Wei family come from?" And the man next to him, could it be a guest of the Wei family? โ€

"However, no matter what, it is a great sin to take the prey of His Highness. Someone will take them down! โ€

"Wait." Situ Yun stopped the people around him: "This is not the Nanmeng hunting ground, I think we crossed the line and accidentally happened to run into them." What is the sin? โ€

And, by what point?

Just say that the other party shot their own deer?

Although the deer has a special meaning, but at present, the saint is in power, no matter how stupid Situ Yun is, he will not say what the meaning of his prey is. Otherwise, you're caught in the dreadlocks!

"After all, it's not a serious national hunt, just have fun."

On the other side, Wei Qian and the two pulled wild horses back. Tao Ping saw the two arrows on the wild horse, pointed to one of them and said, "It seems that I won." โ€

"But you, you were only hit by the horse's leg, and it was the arrow that really killed the opponent." Wei Qian thought about it and ordered: "Hongchun, you go and ask the other party what you mean, if you are willing to take a step back, we will each take the golden beast back to redeem โ–กโ–ก." โ€

Hongchun ran to ask, Situ Yun would not grasp this matter, the two parties adhered to it and retreated.

"I remember! That shouldn't be the countryman of the Wei Mansion, right? She travels disguised as a man? The military generals beside Situ Yun suddenly slapped their heads and shouted.

The voice was loud, and Wei Qian, who was about to leave, could hear it clearly, and her face was not good-looking at the moment.

Immediately afterwards, a man dressed as a catcher came on horseback: "Miss Wei, our lord invites you to go to the mansion." โ€

Hearing this, Wei Qian smiled lightly: "I should have come a long time ago, Miss Ben has been waiting for the Xue family for a few days, and it is really not efficient at all!" Chun'er, give this wild horse to the other party, Miss Caitouben doesn't want it today, and I'm going to go to the government office to make a big profit! โ€

So, Wei Qian took the horsewhip and pointed at the other party Situ Yun and his party with a smile: "I came out early in the morning to hunt, and it was fate to meet each other, and this wild horse should be given to you by Miss Ben!" May you all have fun."

After speaking, he took Tao Ping and the others down the mountain, changed their clothes and went to the mansion.

Seeing that the other party was so happy to let go, Situ Yun said to the guards beside him: "Go check and see what she's up to." โ€

The guards around him ran to the hunting ground guard to understand and inform him of the situation.

"Fu Ya, could it be that there is any other case on this woman?" Situ Yun thought about it and asked the generals around him: "The Xiangjun of Weifu you are talking about, is it the daughter of General Wei Yan?" โ€

"It is the daughter of Wei Yan, who was given the position of the countryman by His Majesty. Enjoy the old age and wear ribbons. The general thought for a while: "I haven't heard of any case on her, I think it should be the stabbing case caused by her maid not long ago, right?" โ€

Situ Yun touched his chin, he and Wei Yan still had some affection back then, and ordered left and right: "This wild horse, you carry it back." We also changed our clothes and went to the government to have a look. โ€
