Chapter 240: Hunting

Jin Yi smiled at Yun Hui, and took out a crossbow from the back saddle blocked by the cloak, the crossbow body was made of red jujube wood, and the fish and insect patterns were beautifully carved on it, painted with bright lacquer, only a foot long, and it seemed to be lethal in the hand, but it was like a child's toy.

Yun Hui laughed even more when she saw it, and said to Jin Yi: "Your crossbow is almost the same for Ming'er." ”

Ming'er was very excited today, and sat in front of his father when he came all the way, Xie Weiran taught him to control the horse, and handed the reins to him from time to time, and the child who was not yet six years old sat on the horse decently, without a little nervousness, but quite a bit of a general's style.

At this time, he rode a horse with Xie Weiran's personal guard Ning Liangcheng, and he was fiddling with a small crossbow in his hand, but the crossbow arrows he used were to the iron head, for fear that he would be too young to accidentally hurt people.

The crossbow in Jinyi's hand looks gorgeous and exquisite, but it is actually handmade by Qiaowei herself, imitating the method of the Yuanrong crossbow, which can send five arrows at a time, the crossbow body is small and lightweight, and does not rely on arm strength, but uses the machine to send arrows, which is most suitable for women.

Jin Yi turned a deaf ear to Yun Hui's ridicule, and her laughter was as crisp as a bell, "You'll know after a while." ”

Ming'er said loudly: "I'm also from my father's side." ”

Xie Yingran kindly worried about Jinyi, "Isn't it that the four of us are facing Sister Yi and the two of them, which seems to be a little unfair." ”

Yunhui said generously: "Then you can help them, anyway, you and Ming'er are about the same level." ”

"......" Xie Yingran was a little speechless, and said angrily: "Then I'll be on the side with Sister Yi." ”

Qian Mo had been riding on a horse and following behind Jin Yi, and then handed a small hand crossbow to Xie Yingran, which was originally prepared by Qiao Wei for her, although it was slightly worse than Jin Yi's, but it was also a good thing that could not be found outside, "Miss Ying try this crossbow." ”

As he spoke, he took out another quiver, which was filled with crossbow arrows more than half a foot long, loaded the arrows, and handed them to Xie Yingran.

Xie Yingran took it in his hand and checked it, "It's so light, will it not be accurate?" ”

She gently pulled the bracket and shot an arrow at a big tree not far away, only to hear a crisp sound of "doo", and the arrow had already penetrated into the tree two or three inches deep.

At this time, even Xie Weiran was taken aback, the power of this crossbow arrow was extremely great, he naturally knew the strength of his sister's hand, if he used an ordinary bow and arrow, I am afraid that it would be rare to be able to enter an inch, and hurriedly asked: "Where did this crossbow come from?" ”

Jin Yi smiled casually, "It's made by Qiaowei." She didn't say that Qiao Wei's master Wei Lan was the former crossbow master of the Ministry of Industry.

"Such a crossbow is almost ready to be used in the army." Xie Weiran nodded. In fact, when he returned to Beijing this time, Anbian Marquis Xie Kuang secretly told him to pay attention to Sima Yulou, the newly promoted King of Chuchen, to see if he was as comfortable as rumored, or as eloquent as the old prince Sima Jun.

After observing these days, Xie Weiran had a feeling that Sima Yulou, along with the princess beside him, was a little hidden.

Sima Yulou took Jin Yi and Xie Yingran to the side of the woods, and Qian Mo rode a horse to follow, this time Sima Yulou only took Tingyu and Fufeng. Fufeng glanced at Tingyu, left the horse and climbed into the tree, and his figure disappeared into the lush foliage.

Listening to the rain leading his horse, he followed slowly behind, but he thought about the princess letting Qiao Wei learn to ride a horse when he was in the stable today, and wondered if he would find an opportunity to teach her when he went back.

Sima Yulou dismounted and walked from time to time, and his body wandered into the forest, carrying one or two prey in his hands every time he came out.

Jin Yi didn't go with him because Xie Yingran was by his side, sometimes Sima Yulou would deliberately drive the prey out, she had excellent eyesight, and she could easily shoot the prey with a single shot.

However, there are mostly small animals here, such as pheasants, guinea deer and the like, Jin Yi is a little unbearable to kill, Sima Yulou saw it, and said with a smile: "Hunting these little things is too boring, let's go up, there are foxes over there, and if you are lucky, you can still meet a bear." ”

"It's just the three of us, it's too dangerous to run into a bear." Jin Yi shook her head. The bear's sebum is too thick for ordinary bows and arrows to shoot through, and its strength is great, and it is even more difficult to subdue in hand-to-hand combat.

Sima Yulou said: "It's okay, there must be a lot of people on the prince's side today, if there is a bear, they will also be lured away." ”

Speaking of the crown prince, Jin Yi glanced at Xie Yingran again. The Huan family wanted to marry her, but Xie Yingran didn't know about it, and Jin Yi wanted to remind her and let her be careful of the people of the Huan family. After thinking about it for a while, she gave up, this matter made her a little inappropriate to her, even if she really wanted to say it, it was better for Yun Hui to say it.

Xie Weiran and Yunhui have gained a lot here, Yunhui has also learned some martial arts since she was a child in Chuchen Palace, her wrist strength and accuracy are good, and she is not as soft-hearted as Jinyi, after a while, the two have hit more than a dozen prey, but she thinks the difficulty is too low, and said to Xie Weiran: "It's better for us to hunt some big ones inside." ”

Xie Weiran nodded, and the two headed towards the mountain, followed closely by the four guards.

Halfway up the mountain, here has reached the center of the royal hunting ground, suddenly heard the sound of people in the forest in front of me, there is a soap coat of the cavalry battalion Ling Wei stepped forward, raised his voice and shouted: "Who is coming? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in front of him, and he shall not be disturbed. ”

Xie Weiran was about to speak, but Yun Hui on the side had already sneered: "What about the prince here? Am I still not coming? ”

The sharp-eyed one on the side had already recognized it as the county lord of Yunhui, and even the prince had to call Sister Wang when he saw it, and he hurriedly stopped the guard, and asked people to report to His Royal Highness the prince.

Yun Hui and Xie Weiran drove forward side by side, and Ling Wei saluted the two along the road, and Yun Hui sat upright and didn't even look at it.

Xie Weiran smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that his wife was used to being arrogant in Beijing, but she never showed it in front of outsiders when she was in Beisai, at most she was a little arrogant when she was arguing with herself in private, but she never dared to let go of her voice, for fear of being known by her in-laws or subordinates.

He knew that Yun Hui and the queen were a little discordant, and he didn't even like the prince of the dynasty, but when he saw her sitting on the horse without squinting, he put the county lord's shelf to the fullest.

In the crowd of guards, the crown prince Sima Wei was wearing a yellow four-clawed dragon brocade robe and sitting on a horse, looking at Yun Hui's side, although there was a smile on his face, there was some coldness in his eyes.

Sima Jue, the king of the East China Sea, stood on the ground, his face was slightly pale, his horse fell under a tree in the distance, the horse was hit by an arrow in the leg, and a man dressed as a guard was kneeling beside him, "...... The subordinates chased the sable heartily, and for a moment they were dazzled and mistakenly shot the prince's horse, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish him. ”

The prince retracted his gaze, did not look down at him, and said to Sima Jue with a smile: "This slave is not long-sighted, I really can't stand the imperial brother, I don't know how the imperial brother will deal with him?" ”

The corner of Sima Jue's mouth reluctantly pulled out a smile, "It's just a horse, you don't have to punish him." ”

The prince smiled and didn't say much.

There is also a man and a woman behind him, the man is Huan Qizhi, the second young master of the Huan family, but the woman is Huan Yuanyuan, the third lady of the Huan family. The two of them sat on their horses, and did not come down because the king of the East Sea did not have a mount, but just watched the excitement with a smile. (To be continued.) )
