After crossing the stream, the mountain road up the mountain is narrow and there are at most two people, and the servants Li Kai and Li Xin in front of the Li Qu Sick Sect walk in front of the front and one in the back.

Li Quzhi, Qin Wanjing, Li Jingjing, and the black and white bear children of the Qin family walked in the middle, and each of them was protected by an entourage and went up to Lishan.

The high mountains and old forests, with dense green shade, only hear the birdsong, and you can't see the wild beasts.

Everyone walked two or three miles of mountain roads, and Qin Wanjing was not in a hurry if she didn't get anything.

Li Jingjing shook her head and said, "So many people walked by here just now, scaring the beasts away. ”

After about half a mile of walking, Li Quai's medium-sized military crossbow shot a very fat gray-haired hare, which made the Qin family's black and white bear child very happy.

Li Jingjing shot two arrows with a military crossbow, the first one missed, and the second arrow hit an inconspicuous hedgehog as big as a fist, saying that the iron arrow was wasted.

Suddenly, Qin Wanjing stopped, raised her military medium-sized crossbow with both hands, and shot an arrow at a cypress tree with lush leaves in the sky.

The arrow whistled through the air and slammed into the thick pole, and a large bird with hemp feathers crouched on a branch flew up in panic.

Qin Wanjing's beautiful eyes widened, and she ran forward in the direction where the big bird flew away, firing her crossbow and shooting arrows again as she ran.

This time the iron arrow pierced the right wing of the big bird, and the iron arrow was quenched with super powerful ecstasy, and it fell directly from the sky and landed on the ground of the woods.

Li Jingjing's face was full of surprise, and she exclaimed excitedly: "Sister Jing's archery skills are so powerful!" ”

She had practiced for several years to have such an archery level, and the first time Qin Wanjing used it, she could shoot down a bird with just the second arrow, and she was simply a genius of crossbow arrows.

Qin Libang and Qin Jiahao were already extremely happy and screamed like rabbits and ran to the front to see the big bird that hit.

Qin Wanjing stood still, looked at the medium-sized crossbow in her hand happily, and said to herself: "What a powerful crossbow, much more powerful than the crossbow that grandpa and father gave me." ”

One of her slaves said in surprise, "Miss, you shot a thug." ”

Li Jingjing pulled Qin Wanjing and walked over quickly to take a look, and saw a big owl with hemp feathers and a hooked beak.

Qin Wanjing was puzzled: "It's really strange, the arrow part of this owl is not critical, why did it die all of a sudden?" ”

Li Jingjing just smiled, not revealing that the arrow had the ecstasy she made.

Qin Libang was very bold to reach out and pull the owl's right paw, and said with a smile: "Sister Jing, I want to eat roast owl meat for lunch tonight!" ”

Li Quzhi stood half a foot away from the owl, shook his head and said, "The owl is an ominous bird and cannot be eaten." Throw it down the hill. ”

Qin Jiahao's dark little face was full of regret, and he spread out his little hands and said, "Can't you eat it?" It's a pity. ”

Li Jingjing said softly to the two bear children: "The owl is a beneficial bird, specializing in eating mice and snakes. The owl didn't die, it just fell unconscious. We pulled the arrow out of it, applied some medicine to its wound, put it under a tree, and left it to fend for itself. ”

Mochizuki did as he was told, and placed the owl under a large tree that was not easy to be found, and covered it with a few branches.

Li Qu was afraid that it would not be safe to go further into the mountains, so he insisted on hunting within a radius of 100 meters.

Qin Wanjing and Li Jingjing were afraid that they would go too far and tire the two bear children, so they acted according to their words.

In just half an hour, not counting the owl, the three of them shot a total of four hares, two pheasants, a hedgehog, and a badger, and the collection was very large.

The largest beast, an adult male badger with a mixture of black brown and white fur, weighed about thirty catties, and was shot by Qin Wanjing with an arrow.

Li Jingjing's eyes were filled with respect and appreciation, and she said with a smile: "Sister Jing, your archery skills have opened my eyes today." ”

Qin Wan said modestly: "This time, I have your modified military crossbow and iron arrows with arrows, and I have only hunted five beasts. ”

The slave maid of the Qin family couldn't help but say proudly: "Master Li, Lord Jing, my young lady once killed a wolf in the mountains. ”

Li Quzhi nodded and said, "Very good." ”

Li Jingjing hugged Qin Wanjing's arm and said with a smile: "If you go to the army, you will be a goddess archer!" ”

Qin Libang pulled Li Jingjing's sleeve and pleaded: "Sister Jing, can you bring the hedgehog you hit back to life and give them to us again?" ”

Qin Jiahao continued: "This Fenglang didn't come out with us, it's very boring to stay at home, we want to take it back to him to play." ”

"Okay." Li Jingjing didn't expect the hedgehog, the only prey, to be so popular, so she readily agreed.

The two bear children were very happy to scream and jump.

Li Jingjing thought that her two younger brothers did not come, so she couldn't go back empty-handed, so she looked for a long time and shot three arrows in the air, and finally shot a fluffy and cute squirrel.

The group took the prey and went down the mountain triumphantly, and it was the first wave to return.

The Lintong guards have sent meat, vegetables, and wine for barbecue, a full twelve carts.

The guard officer led by the guard was a middle-aged man in his thirties, thin and short, with a dark complexion, as if he was malnourished, with a pair of slender bubble eyes that could not be opened, he walked forward quickly and asked in surprise: "You have hit so many prey?" ”

Qin Wanjing smiled weirdly: "Uncle Deng, we have a secret hunting weapon!" ”

Deng Jing has a total of eleven sons, and this person is the fourth son, nicknamed Deng Laosi, and is now a fifth-rank officer.

Deng Laosi hugged his fists and said respectfully to Li Jingjing: "I've seen Lord Jing. ”

Li Quzhi, Li Jingjing, and the black and white bear of the Qin family stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle Deng." ”

Deng Laosi pointed to the military medium-sized crossbow in Qin Wanjing's hand, and asked with a smile: "This is your secret hunting weapon, maybe let me take a look?" ”

Qin Wan looked at Li Jingjing quietly, and when she saw her nodding in agreement, she handed it over and said, "The range is fifty zhang, and the fastest can fire four arrows in a row, and the most powerful is the arrow, which is quenched with venom that can make the beast faint quickly." ”

Deng Laosi took the military medium-sized crossbow and looked at it carefully, and when he saw that there were three arrows in the crossbow trough, his face was excited, he looked at Li Jingjing, and asked, "Can the county lord of Jing lend me three arrows, I want to go to the mountains to try its power?" ”

Li Jingjing said: "It's easy to borrow and repay, and it's not difficult to borrow again." I'll give you another bag of arrows, and you can take them and shoot them. ”

She thought that a bag of arrows was twenty, which was enough for Deng Laosi to enjoy.

Deng Laosi was so happy that his bubble eyes turned into a slit, and he said with a smile: "Lord Jing, please rest assured." I, Deng Laosi, speak the most, and I will definitely return it to you safe and sound. ”

Li Jingjing asked Mochizuki to hand Deng Laosi a bag of arrows. Deng Laosi happily took the two soldiers to the mountain.

Qin Wanjing asked, "Uncle Li, Jing Niang, it's almost noon, let's barbecue and eat?" ”

The black and white bear child of the Qin family immediately shouted, "I'm hungry." "My stomach has been deflated for a long time. I don't believe you touch it, it's so deflated. ”

Li Jingjing squatted down and really touched the little black bear's belly, it was really small, and nodded with a smile: "Let's eat the barbecue first, and prepare Brother Lin and Xiao Lingzi's portion, so that they can roast and eat it immediately when they come back." ”

Li Quzhi led the black and white bear children of the Qin family to the thatched hut for convenience, and when he came back, he saw that several entourages had brought back a bunch of food, spices and wine from the soldiers, so he helped to light firewood on the side.

The black and white bear child of the Qin family clapped his hands happily and shouted, "I want to eat roast rabbit legs!" "I'm going to eat roast pheasant wings!"

Li Quzhi smiled and asked Li Kai to take a hare and a pheasant to the creek to peel and remove the hair.

After Qin Wanjing and Li Jingjing were convenient, they sat on the red cloth spread on the grass, and made fruit for the two bear children to eat while talking.

At this time, the sky is red and the sun is clear, and it is nearly the hottest time of the day, but fortunately it is the west of Lishan, the sun can't shine, and the mountain breeze is slow, which is very cool.

The aroma of barbecue meat wafted in the air, and Li Jingjing soon ate the roasted venison, fish, and mutton sprinkled with salt, chili powder, and cumin powder, and was in a very good mood.

Qin Wanjing exclaimed: "This is actually an expensive cumin powder produced by the Persian country. ”

When Li Jingjing came to Dingchao, it was the first time she had eaten cumin powder, and asked curiously: "How much silver is a pound of cumin powder?" ”

The Book of Herbs records: cumin is also known as cumin, cumin celery. It is a condiment, suitable for meat cooking, and can also be used as a spice. The fruit of cumin can be used in medicine to treat indigestion and stomach cold and abdominal pain. (Excerpt from Baidu)

"Originally, cumin powder was fifty taels of silver per catty, but in the past two years, the imperial court has exchanged special products with Persia and reduced it to thirty taels of silver per catty." Qin Wanjing ate the barbecue in an elegant small bite, her eyes were gentle, and she asked, "You are a great pharmacist, have you ever known about the anti-spot cream made by the rejuvenation layman?" ”

Li Quzhi, who was sharing skewers for the black and white bear children of the Qin family, couldn't help but turn his head to look over.

Li Jingjing said calmly: "I know." ”

Qin Wanjing said with a little excitement: "The small box of spot removal cream was sold for eighty taels of silver in Chang'an, and the price of shipping to Persia increased sixfold, reaching nearly five hundred taels of silver, and the supply was still in short supply. The imperial court used this to exchange some goods with the Persian state, including cumin seeds. ”

"Oh. Now that we have planted cumin, the price of cumin powder in Persia has fallen? Li Jingjing said: No wonder Guangmingzi gave me more money every time, it turned out that the spot removal cream has become a sky-high price in the sale of abroad.

Qin Wanjing smiled and nodded, "You're right." The queen sent people to try to plant some in the northland, and the yield was not high, but it was better than nothing. ”

Li Quzhi frowned and asked, "The Persian country has taken the spot ointment, has it ever unravaged the prescription of its own medicine?" ”

Qin Wanjing's smile became even brighter, and she shook her head and said, "I heard my aunt say that the medicine skills of the great pharmacists of the Persian Kingdom are much worse than those of our Ding Dynasty, and in the past few years, many great pharmacists of this dynasty have not been able to solve the prescription for removing the ointment, so it is even more impossible for them." ”

Li Quzhi's face was proud, and he said: "The rejuvenation monk has superb medicinal skills, how can the plaster prescription made be unraveled by the great pharmacist of the Persian country?" ”

"I'm really curious about what kind of person the Rejuvenation Monk is, who can make such a miraculous anti-spot cream?" Qin Wanjing took a handkerchief to wipe the oil stains on the corners of Qin Libang's mouth.

Li Jingjing looked at Qin Wanjing as if she was tempting, and said in her heart: It turns out that my aunt has never told Aunt Deng that I am a rejuvenation monk.

After a while, the hunters came back one after another, all hunting for prey, and this time the time was short, and the people went at once, and nearly a thousand people were more than the wild beasts, and the wild beasts were scared away, and there were not many wild beasts that were hit.

Qin Libang and Qin Jiahao were half-full, and ran to see the harvest of other people's homes, and every time they saw one, they turned their heads and waved at Qin Wanjing and Li Jingjing vigorously, and shouted proudly: "Sister Jing, Sister Jing, they don't have as many prey as us!" ”

The young ladies and young masters of the Zhangxian Gong, Wang Xiangong, and Fengxian Gongjia came over to take a look, counted the prey, and asked suspiciously: "This is strange, we entered the mountain earlier than you, and there are more people than you, why don't we hunt as many prey as you?" ”

"Why is your luck so good, with two little langs, and more prey than we have hit?"

"You even beat a badger?!"

Li Jingjing said with a smile: "This badger was hunted by Sister Jing. Sister Jing is very powerful, in addition to hunting six beasts this time, she also hunted a flying owl. ”

"Jing Niang's martial arts and archery skills have always been the best among us." "Jing Niang once hunted and hunted an adult wolf." Miss Wang and Miss Feng sincerely praised Qin Wanjing's good archery skills.

"I haven't hunted for a long time, but this one is playing very well, and those beasts are stupid and unlucky, and I have been shot. Come and try the meat of our entourage's barbecue. Qin Wanjing smiled and handed Miss Wang and Miss Feng six skewers of grilled venison skewers, and did not explain the secret weapons used.

Miss Zhang's face was full of disbelief, her eyebrows frowned slightly, she stretched out her foot and kicked the badger with her eyes closed and motionless a few times, and then went to kick the hares, pheasants, and hedgehogs one by one, and sneered with disdain: "Come and see, it's true that these beasts have arrow holes on their bodies, but they are all dead early!" ”

"So they're all dead a long time ago?" The six young masters of the Zhang family immediately surrounded and kicked all the prey like Miss Zhang, and then they all stared at Qin Wanjing with questioning and sarcastic eyes.

Miss Wang and Miss Feng were eating fragrant roast venison, and their faces changed slightly when they heard this, but they didn't go to check their prey.

Qin Libang ran over and raised his little head, and said seriously: "They didn't die, they were just stunned by the arrow." ”

Miss Zhang glanced at Qin Wanjing, and deliberately said in a loud voice: "It's just that one beast is stunned by an arrow, and several beasts are stunned by an arrow, it's really funny!" ”

The six young masters of the Zhang family asked, "Didn't you say that you beat the big lord?" "Where's the owl?"

"The owl is an unlucky beast, and I asked my niece Jing to abandon the owl." Li Quzhi regretted abandoning that owl in his heart.

"The owl is a big bird, and it flies very fast, how can it be so easy to hunt?" Miss Zhang's tone was sarcastic, and she said with a smile: "Jing Niang, if you want to brag in the future, don't talk about hunting owls, talk about crows instead." ”

Qin Libang gestured with his small hand to the size of the owl, and said hurriedly: "Sister Jing really hit the owl, what a big one!" ”

Qin Jiahao said loudly with a huffing fork of his waist: "You are all wrong. Sister Jing's archery skills are really good, and she has hunted a lot of beasts! ”

Li Jingjing observed Qin Wanjing, and saw that she had been silent, thinking that she was cowardly, and sighed lightly in her heart.

The Zhang family was about to leave, when Qin Wanjing stood up with a sheepskin water bag and shouted, "Stop." ”

Miss Zhang turned around and smiled like a flower, her eyes were defiant, and asked, "You were exposed by us, and you were angry, and you want to beat us with your martial arts?" ”

"Keep your eyes open and look closely!" Qin Wanjing walked quickly to the pile of prey on the ground, opened the sheepskin water bag, and poured the water inside on the badger, and then poured it on the hares, pheasants, and hedgehogs.

The fat badger opened its eyes and struggled to escape, the hare was dying and digging the ground with its four paws, the pheasant was crying and flapping its wings, and the hedgehog was curled up in a ball.

The Zhang family was stunned, and the onlookers were also very surprised.

Qin Libang ran to the Zhang family triumphantly and said loudly: "As I said, they didn't die, they just fainted, you just don't believe it and frame my sister Jing." ”

Qin Jiahao opened his little arms to block the road, did not let the Zhang family leave, and shouted loudly: "You apologize to my sister Jing quickly." ”

Qin Wan said solemnly: "Not only do you want to apologize to me, but also Marquis Li and County Lord Li!" ”

Miss Zhang's face was gloomy, but she was able to bend and stretch, and immediately stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "Master Hou, county lord, Jing Niang, a few of us were just joking just now, please forgive us." ”

Li Jingjing asked, "Have you ever been a veterinarian?" ”

Miss Zhang looked at her with disdain, shook her head and said, "I won't do that errand." ”

Li Jingjing's eyes shot a sharp gaze, and then asked, "Then you just insisted that those beasts were dead, and you don't know how to pretend to understand?" ”

Qin Jiahao grimaced at Miss Zhang and said, "If you don't know how to pretend to understand, you're not a good little girl!" ”

Qin Libang stretched out his fingers to shave his face, and said with a smile: "Shame, I don't know how to pretend to understand." ”

Li Jingjing couldn't help laughing. The heart said: The two little bear cousins are really smart and cute.

Miss Zhang was ashamed and annoyed, her face was red, her eyes were full of tears, and she retreated in embarrassment.

When the six young masters of the Zhang family saw Miss Zhang crying, they all felt sorry for her, and they took a few steps and shouted angrily: "Sister, what's so great about her archery, she can't compare to you!" ”

"Sister, you have good hands and a gentle temperament, ten times stronger than her."

"Miss Qinfu's reputation has long been stinky, and she will definitely not marry as well as you in the future!"

"She said she shot a big owl, and there was no owl in the prey just now."

Qin Wanjing's face remained unchanged, and she beckoned to the two personal slaves and maids to whisper a few words, and sent them up the mountain.

Miss Wang and Miss Feng were already hungry, so they asked their brothers and their entourage to go back and quickly light the fire to make lunch, and then they would eat the barbecue pads of the Li and Qin families to pad their stomachs.

The two young ladies ate for a while, and when they saw that their first wave of barbecue was ready, they thanked them and got up.

Li Jingjing asked in a low voice, "Sister Jing, does Miss Zhang have a relationship with you?" ”

Qin Wanjing nodded slowly, her eyes dimmed, she sighed lightly, and lowered her head and said, "This matter is a long story, and it is not clear for a while. ”

"Then don't talk about it." Li Jingjing will not be strong.

She had almost eaten, drank a glass of wine, and looked around, half of them were back, and they were making a barbecue in full swing, and the smoke of the wood fire was mixed with the rich aroma of barbecue.

Qin Wan asked softly, "Have you recognized all the young ladies of each province?" ”

Li Jingjing shook her head and said, "I wrote down all their names, but there are some people who don't have a face." ”

He Dong established the Dingchao and canonized everyone on the day he ascended the throne.

From the military attache above the rank of three ranks, three princes of the country, six county dukes, eight county dukes, and twelve founding princes were canonized.

More than 20 years have passed, and there are two more founding marquises, Li Bing, Li Laoshi, and Li Yunxiao.

All the military attache ladies who came today, except for Shang Lan of the Shang County Princess, the rest of the ladies came.

There are more than thirty young ladies, and Li Jingjing can't recognize all of them.

Qin Wanjing smiled and said, "Which little lady you don't know, tell me, I'll tell you who she is." ”

The crowd cheered one after another, "Yun Niang and her brother and nephew are back." The Deng family hunted a lot of prey. ”
