The team is too large and always slow. The distance of less than 100 miles actually took nearly three days.

The hunting ground of Tiewang Mountain is very large, covering an area of several miles. Dense forests, rolling green hills, and at the foot of the mountains, there are rivers that meander.

Although it is autumn, the hundred trees have withered, but when you set foot in it, you can still be attracted by the beautiful landscape and yellow grass and trees.

This is the unique scenery and charm of the northern mountain forest.

The Emperor's palace is located on a gentle hill in the center, which was built by the Emperor Taishang for himself.

Although the Emperor Taishang is no longer the emperor, it is obvious that Emperor Jingtai does not dare to live beyond his position, and it is still the Emperor Taishang, the Queen Mother and the surviving concubines who have settled in.

And Emperor Jingtai and the concubines, princesses and princesses stayed in a temporary residence two or three miles away.

As for the other members of the royal family and the accompanying princes and ministers, I am sorry, if there is no house in the hunting ground before, you can set up tents in the "enclosure" area around the two palaces.

"Brother Ziheng."

Jia Baoyu walked all the way from the outer barracks, and heard someone calling him from a distance, he stopped and looked, sure enough, it was Feng Ziying's old acquaintances.

Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan have a lifelong friendship with their parents, which can be regarded as a family of best friends, and the three are of the same age, so Jia Baoyu does not feel strange that they often hang out together.

When they walked in, the two sides greeted each other in turn, and Feng Ziying asked, "Brother Ziheng, where are you going?" ”

"Feel free to walk around."

Jia Baoyu smiled, and when he saw that the three of them were dressed neatly, he asked, "Brother Feng, where are you going to go?" ”

"The prince of Nan'an set up a target in the courtyard of his house, and invited the younger generation of the princes and nobles to go to the archery competition.

It just so happened that Brother Chongwen was still short of a good horse, so we were going to try our luck and prepare for the horse races in the future. ”

Chongwen is Wei Ruolan's cousin, others are like his words, and his literary quality is polite, and he doesn't look like he is behind the door at all.

"War horses of the West Sea? Are these horses precious? ”

Jia Baoyu asked curiously.

Listening to the name, it is not as loud as the sweat and blood BMW!

Chen Yejun and others explained: "The West Sea is vast, there are many Fanbangs, and simple war horses are not very rare, but it is said that there are several high-quality West Sea war horses in the Nan'an Palace, which are one of the treasures of the Moro Kingdom, and they are never sold to the outside world, but I don't know how the Nan'an prince got them." ”

"Since the Emperor Taishang conquered the West Sea, the old prince of Nan'an was ordered to sit in the West Sea all the year round, and now although the old prince is gone, most of the troops on the border of the West Sea have an old relationship with the Nan'an Palace.

With this relationship, it is not surprising that the prince of Nan'an can get a few war horses from there. ”

Feng Ziying replied. Then he looked at Jia Baoyu and suddenly laughed: "By the way, the Jia family is the head of the Eight Princes of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, and has close contacts with several families such as the Nan'an Palace, and Brother Ziheng may know the connection." ”

Four kings and eight dukes, the most shining group of nobles in the founding of the Great Xuan.

The four kings are respected by the Beijing Palace, the eight princes are headed by the Jia family, and the ancestors of the eleven families are all heroes who follow Taizu to fight the world, and they are robes.

Although each of them has relatives, on the surface, the four kings and eight princes are all called brothers.

Even today, the eleven mansions still come and go frequently, and they have close friendships. There is even a civilian-official group that regards the Four Kings and Eight Princes as a faction, and sometimes advises the emperor to be vigilant.

Jia Baoyu faced the inquiring looks of the three people, and secretly smiled bitterly, the four kings and eight princes have such a big name in vain, in fact, most of the friendships have long been weak, and the exchanges between the various families are just etiquette exchanges.

Take his Jia family as an example, they have not known about military affairs for many years, and they have no major connection with the Nan'an Palace, which still has a lot of influence in the army.

So he shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Feng Ziying and the three had no intention of delving, so they immediately invited Jia Baoyu to accompany them to the Nan'an Palace, and Jia Baoyu complied with them.

……

King Nan'an, as one of the only kings with different surnames in Daxuan, is still very good-looking.

Even in this royal hunting ground, there is a nice annex.

When Jia Baoyu and the others arrived, they saw that there was already a sense of excitement here.

There was a relatively spacious open space in front of the classical and elegant small building, which had been simply surrounded by a narrow curtain at this time, and several arrow targets were set up in it, and in addition to a large number of officers and soldiers standing guard dutifully, there were dozens of young men from various mansions.

"Brother Feng......"

"Haha, Ziheng is here too!"

Everyone is more or less in a circle, and naturally there are many people who know each other.

The arrival of Jia Baoyu also caused a small wave of fluctuations.

However, it was inevitable that the noisy guests were dominant, and Jia Baoyu and the others quickly quieted down, found a place with many acquaintances, and sat down to wait for the grand event.

After a while, with a commotion, the prince of Nan'an finally came out of the courtyard.

The prince of Nan'an is a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, wearing a black and yellow python robe, with a purple crown on his head, and he looks noble......

If only there wasn't that bulging belly that you can see at a glance.

With a soft smile on his face, he stood on the simple martial arts stage, looked around, and said with a smile: "Before this royal ceremony, Xiao Wang accidentally got up and wanted to try my skills as a prince of Daxuanxun Qi, so I recruited you with a cheeky face."

At this time, seeing so many young talents being invited, Xiao Wang was very grateful. ”

With the respect of a king, saying such humble words naturally provoked the respectful return of the people below.

When the king of Nan'an County saw it, the smile on his face was even better, because he said: "Don't talk about it, the rules of today's competition are very simple."

Presumably everyone has seen the three arrow targets in front of Xiao Wang, everyone present, who is confident in their own archery, can come forward to give it a try.

Each person can wipe three arrows, and the one with the most rings on the final three arrow targets wins.

And the winner, Xiao Wang will also keep his promise and give him a war horse that Xiao Wang has cherished for many years! ”

As he spoke, King Nan'an glanced behind him.

Then everyone saw that the gate of the courtyard was wide open, and a young man in a green coat and a gauze hat came out with a tall horse.

"Hiss~~"

Seeing that so many people were a little uncomfortable, Xu is horse lifted its front hooves and let out a low roar.

Although it only raised its front hooves slightly, it also kicked up a cloud of dust on the ground below it.

What a mighty war horse! Just looking at this size, it has surpassed the vast majority of Central Plains horses, and it is worthy of being a war horse from the West Sea.

Looking at its black and lush hair and raised horse head, even Jia Baoyu couldn't help but secretly praise that it was indeed a good horse!

Jia Baoyu is like this, let alone others.

For a while, in front of the small courtyard, praises came and went.

King Nan'an was obviously very satisfied with this, pressed his hand, and said with a smile: "The so-called BMW gives heroes, and now BMW is here, which one can win the first place and win the king's war horse, it depends on his ability." ”

After speaking, King Nan'an slowly walked off the stage and sat down at a nearby table.

……

"Alas, Brother Chongwen, I can't hide it, when I see this horse, the foolish brother doesn't dare to end.

In case he really wins by luck, the foolish brother is afraid that he will be reluctant to take it out. ”

After a period of humility, some people have come to the stage to show their archery skills.

On Jia Baoyu's side, Feng Ziying suddenly smiled at Wei Ruolan after watching for a while.

Among the three of them, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his skills are extraordinary, so if he wants to win the competition, he naturally has to rely on him.

Wei Ruolan smiled unmindingly: "It's okay, then I want the horse you had before, I want Brother Feng to come and be reluctant, right?" ”

He said it wittyly, and Jia Baoyu and the others all smiled.

Feng Ziying laughed even more and didn't say anything.

The eldest husband stood in the world, and he believed in his word, and a good horse would not make him break his promise, and what he said was just a joke.

Besides, although it seems that most of Xungui's children are pustules, there is only one place after all, and he doesn't dare to guarantee that he can win.
