Chapter 214: The Hunt Begins
When the time came to the beginning of the year, everyone had already arrived, and the Tianshui Emperor also arrived with the queen, and under the announcement of the Tianshui Emperor, this year's royal hunt officially began. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As in previous years, there are still hunting competitions, and this year's lottery is a short bow taken out by Emperor Tianshui. The short bow is well-made, and it is made by Master Shui, a famous weapon master in Tianshui Country, and it belongs to the rare treasure bow in the world.
As soon as the color head appeared, it aroused everyone's interest, not only the young people, but also some older veterans.
"Haha, everyone is bound to get the bow! Well, this year's royal hunt has officially begun. Everyone, come with me into the hunting grounds! ”
Seeing that everyone's interest was so high, Emperor Tianshui's face also showed a smile, he raised his right hand high, waved his arm in high spirits, and then rode into the woods of the hunting ground first.
Behind, all the princes, a group of Ouchi guards, military generals, officials, and young disciples, followed closely behind, and all ran towards the woods.
"Okay, the men have all gone hunting, let's go talk and drink tea on the side."
The queen couldn't help but smile when she looked at the figure of Emperor Tianshui who had already run into the hunting ground, and then said to the ladies of the officials of the various provinces who were surrounding her.
The ladies all nodded in agreement with the queen's proposal, and then everyone followed the queen to the rest ground that had been prepared long ago on the hunting ground.
This is a large open space, which has been cleaned up at this time, and a lot of awnings of different sizes have been built, just enough for everyone to sit together to eat and chat.
The wife of an official with a large enough identity and official position sat with the queen, and the families of other officials also gathered together according to their respective identities and circles.
Wu Tingrou, Wu Tingcheng, Wu Tinghua, and Wu Tingqiu, because of their age, it was impossible to sit with their wives, so they sat together with Liu Ruyan and Du Rong.
Now Wu Tingcheng has also learned to be obedient, following Wu Tingrou's footsteps everywhere, wherever Wu Tingrou and the others go, she will follow them wherever she goes, and she will not leave a single step.
A few people sat in a small shed, and Cuiqin put out the food box. Now the food boxes are all small snacks, such as mung bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, salt-boiled peanuts, fried melon seeds and the like.
As for the other food boxes in the carriage, they were all eaten at the picnic during lunch. After all, there will be a barbecue meeting after the hunt, but not everyone likes to eat barbecue, so each family will prepare a little delicious food to bring.
"It's so boring to just sit like that, you don't just want to sit like that. It's all come to the hunting ground, don't you want to go to the hunting ground to have a look, and hunt for prey by the way? ”
After sitting for a while, Liu Ruyan couldn't sit still, she raised her eyes and looked at the people who were eating salted peanuts with great interest, and couldn't help but say aloud.
"Huh? What's the point of hunting, I'm eating peanuts and drinking tea here, anyway, there will be prey for us to barbecue later, so why go in and hunt by yourself. ”
Du Rong was the first to speak, but her words made Liu Ruyan almost crooked her nose.
"Why are you so lazy, even if you don't hunt, you don't have to sit here and eat, we can also ride around." I can't sit still anyway, I'm going to ride a horse for a while, is anyone going to go? ”
Standing up, Liu Ruyan looked at Wu Tianrou expectantly.
"Okay, then I'll go riding with you for a while, it's just a bit boring to sit like this."
Looked at by Liu Ruyan's expectant eyes, Wu Tianrou had no choice but to stand up.
In fact, because she was worried about today's hunting incident, Wu Tianrou was a little absent-minded at all. It just so happened that Liu Ruyan's proposal could be regarded as a reminder to Wu Tianrou, instead of sitting here thinking about acting abnormal, it was better to do something to distract him.
Seeing Wu Tingrou standing up, Wu Tinghua and Wu Tingqiu also stood up, the two of them wanted to ride a horse, but Wu Tingrou didn't move, and they were embarrassed to move.
Wu Tingcheng, who had been following Wu Tianrou closely, did not move at this time, but looked at Wu Tianrou with a smile and said.
"I'm not good at horseback riding, so I won't go, I'll stay here and talk to Miss Du."
Du Rong didn't say anything about this, although she didn't want to see Wu Chengcheng's personality, but she wouldn't show it directly. Besides, it's good to have someone to talk to and eat. Anyway, as long as she doesn't let her do any sports, she'll be happy.
"Okay, Xiaorou, you go horseback riding, don't worry about me."
waved his hand at Wu Tianrou and Liu Ruyan, and Du Rong's face was full of smiles.
Wu Tianrou and Liu Ruyan, who had long understood Du Rong's thoughts, couldn't help laughing, but they couldn't force Du Rong to ride a horse, so after laughing, the four of them went to lead their mounts, got on the horse and walked slowly into the distance.
Although she was very curious about what happened in the hunting ground, Wu Tianrou was self-aware, and she couldn't help anything if she went in, and she might encounter danger herself, so she just glanced at the woods in the hunting ground a few times, and then walked slowly along the trail outside the hunting ground with Liu Ruyan and them.
Not all the men went into the hunting grounds to participate in the hunting, after all, there were many older officials, and some civil officials who were not good at hunting, and they were also sitting in the awnings at this time.
The men's resting place was not far from the women's resting ground, but it was separated by a curtain.
At this time, Zhou Zichuan was sitting in a shed, followed by several officials who had befriended him.
Among them are Qin Lianshui, the father of the Tianshui Three Tyrants, Qin Shou, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and Wu Tai's father, Wu Liangxin, the commander of the forbidden army. The three of them sat together, and it can also be regarded as the gathering of the parents of the three tyrants of Tianshui.
"Kunijo, ...... today"
Qin Shou hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and said.
"Well, everything depends on the second prince, let's talk about everything."
Stroking his beard with a light smile, Zhou Zichuan said softly.
After all, there are still a lot of officials in this place, and some words must not be known by others.
Understanding what Zhou Zichuan meant, Qin Shou and Wu Liangxin didn't talk much, but began to drink tea and chat happily with the surrounding officials.
Just like Zhou Zichuan said, there are two princes over there, and the plan is so thorough, nothing will happen. As long as Situ Sedum dies, then this Tianshui Kingdom will be in the bag of the second prince.
At that time, they were so skilled in following the dragon, and they were just around the corner.
Thinking of the beautiful wealth in their hearts, the smiles on everyone's faces became even bigger. (To be continued.) )
