Chapter 1020: Tiger Hunting

readx; When Sun Shao heard Sun Ce's shout, he immediately walked over, opened the cage, knelt on the ground, and bowed, "What does the emperor command?" โ€

"Give me pen and paper, I want to write a secret letter, and then you can send someone to Lu Fan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ€‚ info "Sun Ce's return to normal is only known to Sun Shao and Sun Shao's personal entourage, so the hundred strong guards near this cage can be regarded as Sun Ce's cronies, and they will naturally be tight-lipped about Sun Ce's recovery of sanity.

Sun Shao nodded, asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and then handed it to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce picked up the pen and wrote, wrote a secret letter with enthusiasm, and then handed it to Sun Shao, instructing: "Remember, if it is handed over to Lu Fan by hand, only he can do it." โ€

Sun Shao stuffed it into the arms of the โ†’โŠฅ of the wwโ‰ฏw.waยคns, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the sons will definitely live up to the holy hope." โ€

After speaking, Sun Shao stood up and said to his subordinates: "Good life to serve Your Majesty to wash, I will go and go back." โ€

"No!"

So, Sun Shao left the Hanlin Academy, rode a fast horse, and immediately headed towards Jianye City.

Sun Shao is Sun Ce's adopted son, this is a well-known thing, so no one dares to stop him wherever he passes, and after Sun Shao successfully entered Jianye City, it was already four watches. Without saying a word, he rode a fast horse to the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

"Open the door, open the door, open the door!" Although Sun Shao is not Sun Ce's biological child, his temper is very similar to Sun Ce's, as soon as he arrives at the Pingnan Hou Mansion, he starts knocking on the door and yelling.

"Who's in the middle of the night?" The janitor of the house yawned and said impatiently.

When the janitor opened the door, Sun Shao immediately broke in and shouted directly: "Pingnanhou, Pingnanhou ......"

Lu Fan was asleep, and when he heard someone shouting outside, he put on his clothes and went out. I happened to see Sun Shao coming over, so he hurriedly asked, "Aren't you guarding Your Majesty, why did you come to my house?" Is something wrong with Your Majesty? โ€

Sun Shao didn't say much, and immediately took out a letter from his arms, handed it directly to Lu Fan, and said, "Pingnan waits, please take a look!" โ€

Lu Fan didn't say a word. Immediately opened the letter, when he saw the familiar font, he had vaguely guessed something in his heart, and then after hurriedly browsing it, the whole person was surprised, and hurriedly said to Sun Shao: "This letter is ......"

"Ping Nanhou's guess is right, this letter is indeed written by His Majesty himself. Now His Majesty has something to ask for help from Ping Nanhou, who is His Majesty's confidant and should keep this secret letter for His Majesty. Although Sun Shao didn't know what was written in his heart. But what he could guess was that Sun Ce was able to write this letter to Lu Fan, which was enough to prove that Lu Fan was a person who could be fully trusted.

Lu Fan immediately put away the letter and said to Sun Shao: "You go back and tell Your Majesty, just say that Lu Fan will do his best to complete this matter, and he will definitely not live up to His Majesty's trust." โ€

Sun Shao nodded, turned around and left, and then Lu Fan also began to dress. After explaining some things to the people in the house, he went straight out of Jianye City. Rush towards Qu'a.

When the east revealed the white of the fish's belly, the silent night began to gradually wake up, and Jianye City began to become noisy, but today, it was a very special day, Sun Jian's death day. For this day. The entire Jianye City was hung with white curtains inside and out.

At three o'clock, Sun Quan began to preside over the entire worship ceremony, and all the officials in the city went to Sun Jian's mausoleum to worship, but no one paid attention. Far on the edge, a man dressed as a soldier was already in tears, and only appeared for a short time on that occasion before withdrawing.

After the sacrifice was completed in the morning, in the afternoon, Zhou Yu went hunting as agreed like Sun Quan, but there were very few entourages with him this time, just Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Sun He, Zhu Huan and others.

On the hunting ground, Zhou Yu took off the big bow he was carrying, handed it to Sun Quan, and then said: "Today's hunting, I will gamble with the king to see who shoots more prey, how about it?" โ€

Although Sun Quan had never fought, he wanted to hunt, and Zhou Yu was naturally happy when he did what he liked. In addition, Sun Quan boasted of his superb archery skills, so he said: "Okay, what if Gongjin loses?" โ€

"If the minister loses, how about dedicating the 150,000 soldiers and horses commanded by the minister to the king?" Zhou Yu knew that Sun Quan was afraid that he was holding heavy troops, and as soon as these words came out, he noticed a trace of joy flashing on Sun Quan's face.

Sun Quan said: "A word is decided, Gong Jin is waiting to hand over the talisman to this king." โ€

"But what if the king loses?"

Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "Then the king will hand over all the soldiers and horses of the whole country to Gong Jin for unified scheduling, what does Gong Jin think?" โ€

Zhou Yu said: "The five ministers disagree, and all the generals and adults present can come to testify, but today's hunting, no one can follow, only the ministers and the king, only in this way can the real strength be demonstrated." โ€

Sun Quan was on the rise, and immediately said: "A word is a certainty." โ€

Zhou Yu said aloud in public: "The king is full of words, everyone present has listened, today's hunting, you just need to wait here, and the king and I can enter the hunting area." โ€

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao and the others didn't say anything, but after Zhu Huan heard it, he said with some subtlety: "No, how can there be no one to protect the king, in case there is a mistake, who can afford this responsibility?" โ€

"In that case, if you invite General Zhu to accompany you for so long, you just need to follow the king from a distance." Zhou Yu said.

Zhu Huan said: "This is the best. โ€

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan rode forward together, and Zhu Huan followed from a distance.

At first, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan did not give in to each other, and the two horses were in parallel, shooting rabbits, roe deer and other objects, but the deeper they entered the jungle, the more difficult the prey they saw became.

Sun Quan held a bow and arrow, riding on horseback, and suddenly saw an elk passing in front of him, and his heart was happy. Sun Quan missed an arrow, and fired two arrows in a row, but the three arrows did not hit, which made Sun Quan lively, and in anger, he chased after the elk.

Zhou Yu and Sun Quan are not far apart, and when they first saw Sun Quan shoot a prey, he also shot one, after all, it was He Sun Quan's prey that was equal, and at this time he saw Sun Quan angry. Chasing the elk, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Sun Quan: "King, watch me shoot it!" โ€

After speaking, Zhou Yu stretched out his bow and arrows, and unhurriedly aimed at the fleeing elk. Then he found the escape route, only to hear the sound of a string, and an arrow flew out, hitting the elk in the head, and an arrow pierced the throat, and the elk immediately fell to the ground, struggled for a moment, and then died.

Sun Quan saw that Zhou Yu's precision of archery was not below him, and said hatefully: "What is there to show off." It's just an elk, and watch the king hunt more elk. โ€

Zhou Yu said: "The king is slow, this place is not a hunting ground encircled by the royal family, in the depths of the jungle, I am afraid that there will be fierce prey such as tigers and wolves, for the safety of the king, it is ...... to ask the king to go back."

"Are you underestimating this king?" Sun Quan didn't listen, and drove it. He ran into the depths of the jungle.

Zhu Huan followed behind, passing by Zhou Yu. Then he asked, "Governor, what is your purpose in doing this?" โ€

Zhou Yu said: "General Zhu's bystanders are clear, but he can see my radical method, but I still need to say a word." This matter has nothing to do with General Zhu, no matter what danger the king encounters for a while, General Zhu will not interfere. โ€

"What? What are you talking about, in case the king has any mistakes......"

"Zhou Yu is willing to bear it with all his might, General Zhu, please rest assured. I know that there will be no surprises! โ€

Zhu Huan snorted coldly, hurriedly rode away, and chased Sun Quan out.

Zhou Yu also smiled, but went in a different direction, and gradually lost contact with Sun Quan and Zhu Huan.

He galloped to the back of a hill, and when he climbed the hill, he took out a red flag from his bosom and waved it vigorously on the hillside. The hillside was not too high, but it was the highest point in the entire jungle, and he stood on it waving a red flag, and those who had been in ambush in the early morning were given the order to move immediately.

This time, Zhou Yu arrived in Jianye alone, nominally, but in fact, he secretly brought ten warriors, and the ten warriors were secretly protecting Zhou Yu.

In the depths of the dense forest, the warriors who had already been hiding there saw Zhou Yu waving the red flag, and a young man who was only fourteen or fifteen years old immediately said to the nine people beside him: "The Metropolitan Governor has sent a signal and can start acting." โ€

So, ten people released two spotted tigers from a cave, and the tiger had been forced into the cave by ten people all night, and now it was tired and hungry, and when the ten people left, the two spotted tigers immediately came out of the cave, and under hunger, they began to roar.

Sun Quan and Zhu Huan were looking for bigger prey one after the other, and suddenly heard a few tiger roars in the mountains and forests, which were very close to them, and the war horses under the seats immediately panicked.

Sun Quan and Zhu Huan finally stabilized the war horses under the seats, but at this time they heard a rustling sound from the jungle, and the war horses under the seats were also restless, and at this moment, two spotted tigers suddenly jumped out of the bushes.

The two spotted tigers rushed towards Sun Quan and Zhu Huan one after the other, with their teeth and claws, and their tails erect. The tiger's tail swept against the bushes, making a chaotic brushing sound and shaking the sawdust everywhere.

Sun Quan and Zhu Huan hadn't reacted yet, and out of fear, the war horse under the seat immediately overturned Sun Quan and Zhu Huan, causing the two of them to fall heavily to the ground. The two fierce tigers screamed at the same time, and instantly pounced on the two war horses, biting the neck of the war horse and biting the war horse to death.

After Sun Quan and Zhu Huan got up from the ground, they both drew their sabers at the same time, Zhu Huan blocked in front of Sun Quan with a horizontal knife, and said to Sun Quan: "The king is leaving, I will deal with these two evil animals!" โ€

The first time Sun Quan encountered such a dangerous situation, his whole face was already as pale as earth, and the ancient ingot knife in his hand began to tremble slightly, seeing that the two fierce tigers were not satisfied after biting the war horse to death, but looked at him with fierce eyes, his heart was already full of fear.

"Evil beast!" Zhu Huan took offense as defense, swung his knife and slashed at a tiger, the tiger also pounced on him, Zhu Huan raised his body back, raised the steel knife in his hand and directly inserted it into the tiger's lower abdomen, the blade was sharp, and a long hole appeared in an instant, cutting the tiger's belly, and the blood flowed, dyeing Zhu Huan into a bloody man.

Zhu Huange killed a tiger here, but Sun Quan over there was not so lucky, one of the tigers saw a needle when Zhu Huan went to kill the tiger, and pounced on Sun Quan with grinning teeth.

Sun Quan held the ancient ingot knife, but it couldn't be used, so he had to dodge aside. The tiger pounced into the air, even more angry, and with a loud roar, its tail swept towards Sun Quan, and directly slapped the back of Sun Quan's hand, and a blood mark appeared on the back of Sun Quan's hand instantly.

At this time, the tiger saw the right time, and directly opened his bloody mouth and bit Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was so frightened that he immediately shouted: "Ah-"

Zhu Huan was on the other side, seeing this situation, he immediately threw the steel knife in his hand, wanting to kill the tiger, but unfortunately he was still a step too slow, the steel knife and the tiger missed, and he could only watch the tiger pounce on Sun Quan, he hurriedly shouted: "The king ......"

It was too late, but it was too soon, and in the midst of the lightning and fire, a face suddenly appeared behind the jungle, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy drew his bow and set it up, and released an arrow, which shot quickly towards the tiger's head, and an arrow shot the tiger's eye.

"Whew-"

The tiger was in unbearable pain, screamed miserably, and fell in front of Sun Quan, close to Sun Quan, and wanted to struggle, but another arrow came, blinding the tiger's other eye.

"Whew-"

The tiger was in unbearable pain, suddenly went crazy, stretched out his front paws, and grabbed Sun Quan, to see that he was about to be caught, but the young man dragged him out from behind Sun Quan and rolled on the ground twice, away from the threat of the tiger.

"King, kill the tiger!" Zhou Yu rode his horse and rushed over, and was slightly disappointed when he saw Sun Quan distracted, but he still pointed at the tiger and shouted.

Sun Quan stared at the dying tiger, and the miserable wail of the tiger sounded in his ears, he was so frightened that he was stunned for a while.

"Gongji, pick up the king's ancient ingot knife, hand it over to the king's hands, and let the king sword the tiger!" Zhou Yu saw that Sun Quan did not move, so he frowned and shouted loudly.

"I'm coming!" Zhu Huan clenched his saber, walked straight to the tiger's side, straddled the tiger's body, turned the tip of the knife down, and was about to insert the tip of the knife into the tiger's head at once.

"Presumptuous!" Zhou Yu was furious, and shouted, and a feather arrow shot out, and the arrow hit Zhu Huan's blade impartially, making a crisp sound of "ding".

At the same time, the young man named Gongji suddenly rushed forward and directly threw Zhu Huan to the ground. (To be continued......)
