A month later, Jinlong ushered in the autumn hunting season, as the royal family of Jinlong, will celebrate on the first day of the autumn hunting season, this day is called autumn hunting day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jinlong is a country with waterways extending in all directions, and it is precisely because of such a geographical environment that autumn hunting can be regarded as a national activity of Jinlong. The autumn hunting of Jinlong is also different from the general mountain and forest hunting, and their hunting places are among the rivers and lakes.

At first, autumn hunting was a folk hunt that only hunted all kinds of fish, crabs and birds living in the lake, but it gradually changed later. Because Jinlong paid attention to the training of sailors, when he arrived at the royal family, the autumn hunt also evolved from hunting "things" to hunting "people".

Every autumn hunting day, the Imperial City Navy will be divided into five groups of warships to compete in water battles at designated locations.

Therefore, the Autumn Hunting Day can also be seen as a royal celebration of water warfare.

To the south of the capital, the royal lake on the outskirts of Jianghaidang is the location of this royal autumn hunting day.

Jianghaidang is much larger than ordinary lakes, and you can't see the edge at a glance, so it is named after "Jianghai".

I saw a huge dragon boat parked in the middle of the river and sea, the furnishings on the dragon boat were like an open-air palace, Long Yongxuan was on the main seat, and the royal members of Jinlong were seated on both sides, and on the deck below, the civil and military officials were separated on both sides.

There are several large and small ships around the dragon boat, which are mighty and magnificent.

Qingying and Nangong Nan, as envoys, were sitting opposite Long Qianping at this time, on the VIP seat.

At this time, a person came up from the warship next to the dragon ship, this person had a delicate face, a slender and tall figure, and his black hair was tied into a bunch of ponytails.

"Participate in the emperor!" He spoke in a deep voice, but it was a woman's tone, "The B number has been prepared and can start at any time." ”

Qingying couldn't help but look her up and down, compared to the average woman's wheat-colored skin, there was no expression on her face, her unsmiling appearance didn't seem to be very approachable, and her eyes were too sharp and resolute.

In addition, she is dressed in men's clothes, if she doesn't make a sound, it is indeed easy for people to misunderstand that she is a man.

I heard that Long Qianyu, the seventh princess of Jinlong, was originally the niece of the former Jinlong Emperor, but because her father died against pirates, her mother also followed suit and was martyred, so she was taken into the palace shortly after birth and raised as the seventh daughter of the Jinlong Emperor.

When she grew up, she learned a martial arts, inherited her father's business, and fought against pirates in the southern waters of Jinlong all the year round.

As soon as the woman's voice fell, the generals on several other warships also boarded the dragon boat one after another, reporting to Long Yongxuan, ready to start at any time.

"Good! Now that you're ready, let's draw troops! However, Qianyu, your injuries have not healed yet, so you don't need to lead the boat today! Long Yongxuan said, glanced at her, and asked her to sit down.

He was about to call another military general to replace him, Long Qianyu pursed the corners of his mouth and took the first step, "Brother Huang, my sister's injury is almost healed." ”

"You ......" Long Yongxuan couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows.

"Brother Huang, please let the courtiers lead the ship." Long Qianyu insisted.

"But ......" Long Yongxuan still didn't agree.

"Brother Huang, three years ago, before my sister went to the Southern Regions, she lost to the third brother-in-law on the autumn hunting day, and she must get it back today!" Long Qianyu insisted.

On the side, Nangong Sheng touched his nose with a smile and a smile, thinking that this little girl really loves to hold grudges.

Long Yongxuan also looked helpless, he knew that her temper was stubborn, so he had to say, "That's it!" Take your go! He shook his head with a wry smile and waved his hand at the attendant beside him.

The chamberlain immediately came to the five ship-leading generals with a wooden plate, and Long Qianyu lifted the red cloth cover on the top and took the lead in choosing a wooden plaque on the top.

Then the other four also chose wooden signs at random.

The five ship-leading generals turned over the wooden plaque at the same time and saw five numbers, which represented the five elite sailors of the Jinlong Imperial City Naval Army.

Seeing this, the chamberlain preached in a loud voice, "Three horses, three teams of A; Seven princesses, No. 1 B; ……”

After the waiter finished reading, Long Yongxuan nodded, and then said, "Choose the deputy general and board the ship!" ”

"Yes!" The five of them claimed to be yes, and then each came to choose their own lieutenant among the generals.

Nangong Sheng thought about it, stepped forward and arched his hand with Long Yongxuan, "Your Majesty, I wonder if the minister can choose Nangong envoys to help?" ”

Long Yongxuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, turned his head to look at Nangong Nan, and nodded, "It's okay!" Your brothers may be more cooperative. "It just so happened that he also wanted to see what kind of ability this Nangong Nan had to make Huangfu Qianchong and Huangfu Cen trust him so much, and sent him and Lu Qingying to come as an envoy.

Nangong Nan got up and arched his hand towards Long Yongxuan, and then walked towards Nangong Sheng.

While walking towards the warship, Nangong Nan asked in a low voice, "Brother Sheng, what are you thinking?" ”

After Qingying came back that day, he had already told him that they would be able to go back as scheduled, so that he didn't have to take the plan requested by King Qin to heart.

Although he was still a little hesitant, Qingying didn't seem to be lying, so they decided to stop for the time being and wait and see.

Nangong Sheng knew what he meant, and said, "It has nothing to do with the previous incident, I just don't want to lose." I don't care about the others, but the Seventh Princess is not easy to deal with. In the past six months, because the princess was pregnant, I didn't go to the Southern Regions, and I don't know what level the seventh princess is now? How can we say that we are also from the Nangong family, it doesn't look good to lose, right? ”

When Nangong Nan heard this, she smiled helplessly and shook her head, Brother Sheng really hasn't changed at all, this personality that doesn't admit defeat is really like a little ghost! However, he didn't disagree, after all, they were the Nangong clan of the Feiyun Continent, known as the "brave warrior champion of the world"! If you lose to a girl, it's ugly!

"Brother Sheng, brothers are united." Nangong Sheng said and raised his arm.

Nangong Sheng raised the corners of his mouth, and saw his arm leaning against his arm, "Its profit is gold!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, got off the dragon boat, and boarded the warship.

After the five groups of ship-leading generals boarded the ship one after another, Long Yongxuan stood up from the main seat, raised his hand and waved, and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

As soon as his words fell, the horn sounded on the dragon boat, and the warships that had been following the dragon ship drove away in different directions with their respective boats.

The dragon boat went all the way south, and after half an hour, it saw the edge of the river and the sea.

Compared to the northern part of the lake, which is close to the capital, the terrain is more complex and varied.

The lake is filled with reeds, one in the east and one in the west, splitting the lake into a complex waterway. Ordinary small warships are hidden, and it is difficult to find their traces in them!

Only the top of the main ship of the five warships can be seen, which occupy different positions.

The dragon boat stopped about thirty zhang away from the reeds, Long Yongxuan took the military flag that several chamberlains had brought up, and then stepped down the high platform, walked across the deck, and planted the military flag at the bow of the ship.

Then he turned around and took the drum stick handed by the soldier, raised his hand and struck it three times on the big drum erected next to the military flag, heralding the official start of the autumn hunting celebration. )
