Niu Jinda spoke, of course Li Chengqian had to agree.

There was nothing in the cottage that could be used to entertain people, so after drinking a glass of warm water and eating a small piece of jerky, everyone said goodbye to Liu Yang.

Personally sent everyone away, when he walked out of the gate and saw the army not far away, Liu Yang was just nervous, and then relieved.

The defense of the stockade was able to deal with wild beasts, but it was vulnerable to this strong army.

Since it is clear that people have no intention of embarrassing them, there is no need for them to be overly vigilant.

After leaving the camp, he commanded the team to rest in place and eat some dry food before Li Chengqian ordered to continue the hunt.

Autumn hunting is a bit brutal, because just after the height of summer, many wild beasts have just finished breeding, and many small beasts have died tragically under arrows and knives.

But there is no way not to be cruel, at this time, the most important thing in the mountains and wilderness is this thing, no killers, when they grow up, they will expand their territories, or they will go out of the mountains and invade the people's villages.

In the villages of later generations, it was a new thing for a child to be bitten by a dog, and now in the countryside near the mountains, there will be two unlucky people who are dragged to the mountains by tigers and the like every year to make tooth sacrifices.

Humans are the most terrifying creatures on the planet. But at the same time, it is also one of the weakest creatures.

Although one foot is a prosthetic, Niu Jianhu is not much slower than others when he runs.

After shooting a half-sized tiger before Changsun Chong, Niu laughed when he saw the tiger, and personally carried the tiger to Li Chengqian and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it looks like autumn is about to begin, this tiger skin is not big or small, and it is just sewn into Master Li's wheelchair." As for this tiger whip, it will be left to my father. ”

As soon as the words fell, a big foot kicked Niu Jianhu aside.

Although the old cow's face was flushed, he was embarrassed to say anything.

Since Niu Jianhu returned to normal, he has stopped doing abstinence. A month ago, Mrs. Niu was lucky.

Regardless of whether the second child is male or female, at least, it will not be exciting to see the tiger die.

Touching the saber on his waist, Li Chengqian said depressedly: "Being in the army, watching you hunt, but not being able to participate in it, is really depressing." ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Jing and asked, "Duke Wei, can you see if there is any prey that I can try my hand on?" ”

Li Jing was embarrassed to roll his eyes directly, so he could only arch his hand and say: "Your Highness, when hunting, the bow and arrow are the main force, hand-to-hand combat is secondary, you can't open the bow now, at most, when the soldiers catch the prey alive, then take the knife." But in this way, aren't you also interested? You'd better be honest and be a conductor. Along the way, the old man has seen that you have a lot of rules for the distribution and scheduling of the team, which is what you should care about. ”

Niu Jinda also nodded in agreement on the side.

Patting the hilt of the sword, Li Chengqian sighed and ordered the team to move on.

With the identity of the prince, don't say it's hunting, I'm afraid these people won't even let him out of the military array.

It seems that the order of the imperial court is for the crown prince to lead all the troops to hunt wild beasts.

In fact, these two thousand soldiers, including five hundred forbidden army guards and generals, the biggest task is to protect him, the crown prince. Fastest update... / .. /

If you can't shoot, you can't shoot, and it's still good to live under protection.

This time, the team did not simply move forward, but cleaned up the beasts on the periphery of the Qinling Mountains from the outside to the inside.

Tigers and bears, who have seen the horror of these two-legged walking creatures in early spring, rarely come to die. And after two consecutive expulsions within a year, the smart ones will no longer be near this area.

Wild boars belong to the type with no brains, some are majestic, relying on their physique, and even have the confidence to impact the army.

However, an army of more than 2,000 people always took everything from such a brave one.

As the sun set, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Chengqian ordered the withdrawal of his troops.

The current location of the prince's pro-rate is between the homeless cottage and Lantian County, although it can also go to Lantian County to temporarily station, but with these prey, it is a good choice to stay in the homeless cottage.

Carrying the harvest of half a day, everyone once again came to the cottage of the homeless.

Liu Yang opened the door of the camp very generously, without any intention of being vigilant.

"Old man, it's useless for us soldiers to keep this meat. In addition to the precious skins, I will give you all the rest of the meat. ”

Niu Jinda's words completely set the silent village on fire.

The young and strong women all rushed out happily, carrying wild boars, tigers and wolves.

On weekdays, this is a rare prey, with an army of 2,000 people, and the hunting results in half a day are still considerable.

If the meat is smoked, it will not rot before the cold, and the villagers may have to live a rich winter for a long time.

Li Chengqian declined Liu Yang's invitation to enter the village and ordered the army to camp outside the village.

The logistics brigade led by Iron Hammer was basically not involved in the battle, and they had been carrying parts of tents on their backs for such a long mountain road.

Under the command of the hammer, it didn't take long for a camp to be erected.

Although the tents are thin and crowded, there is a shelter for them.

Dinner was barbecue and dry food.

The villagers who got a large amount of prey also gathered a batch of millet and sent it to the army.

This is a deep mountain, and it is not easy to grow some millet. For the villagers, these millet seeds are already the best gift they can come up with.

The cooked millet rice is only a small bowl per person.

Li Jing and Niu Jinda ate without hesitation, and Yu Tai and others ate with relish. Only children like Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian can't swallow it at all. Millet is millet seeds, this thing is okay to steam rice cakes, make it into a meal and eat, it is really not something that ordinary people can eat.

Seeing that Niu Jianhu also had the intention of throwing out the rice in the bowl, Niu Jinda said angrily: "You throw it to me!" Is the old man too accommodating to you, and he can't even eat millet seeds? Do you know that our family couldn't even afford to eat millet at the beginning. The wild vegetables in the mountains have been dug up, and your grandmother collects the leaves of the trees and cooks them, so we have to eat them too? ”

Li Jing stared at Li Dejian and said: "Millet is drought-resistant, and the yield is still high, so it is one of the standing military rations of all kinds of armies. In the future, when you march and fight, will you have to carry ordinary soldiers on your back and open your own small stove? Do you still want to be military? Eat! Don't waste a grain of rice! ”

Although the two generals were only reprimanding their respective sons, the sisters-in-law still hardened their voices and ate all the millet in the rice bowl.

Li Chengqian is naturally no exception, but he is not because of the words of the two generals, but because he remembered the "granary" in the cottage.

The so-called "granary" does not store rice millet, but some grass seeds such as dog's tail grass.

Who would have thought that this thing could be used for eating?

But in the deep mountains, which are not suitable for farming, they can only live on food.

Compared with dog tail grass seeds and the like, millet is not too easy to swallow.

After eating a small bowl of millet seeds, the sisters-in-law were thoughtful.

Whether they thought of the difficulties of the march or the difficulties of the displaced people, at least at this time, they gained something.

Putting down the bowl, Li Chengqian said to Niu Jinda beside him: "Niu Gong, even if Yu Tai is alone, he can lead the hunt." Why don't you two go back with me tomorrow and explain the affairs of the homeless? ”

Niu Jinda rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "I can't imagine that my old cow will have a day when he will perform words in addition to the excerpts of thanksgiving." If we can really revise the law and speed up the speed of the homeless people going out of the mountains and naturalization, this is a great thing of great merit. ”

Li Jing said while roasting a goat's leg: "Prince, don't you think that this matter should not be rushed? Even if you are the crown prince, such a blatant opposition to the law will have a very bad impact on the court. According to the old man, it is better to gather a group of courtiers with the same intention first, and then play together. You should understand the truth of people's soft words! ”

Li Chengqian and Niu Jinda glanced at each other, and both of them were full of helplessness.

Although Li Jing's art of war is unparalleled in the world, his actions are too rigorous.

As everyone knows, sometimes, the more painful things are, the more complicated they become.

Ministers who unite with a common will can indeed increase the success rate. But correspondingly, there are risks.

The prince carried a group of ministers to write and form a unique limelight in the court, what is this doing? It's almost to the point of forcing the palace. The Emperor's father may feel pity, but he will never accept the threat.

Perhaps, in this person's heart, only people or things that he can play with one hand can reassure him.

The greater the force, the greater the backlash, and the proposal of three or two people manifests itself, and it is good to have a temporary secondment of the agreement. It's good if you can't pass it, and everyone will be happy if it passes. The worst-case scenario is because this matter is divided into two distinct forces, and at that time, it is really going to provoke a war in the court.

Seeing that the prince and Niu Jinda had strange faces, Li Jing took a bite of mutton, and after a little thought, he got out of the tip of the horns.

Embarrassed, arched his hands, and said no more.

Being cautious is both his strength and his disadvantage. Li Jing is very self-aware of this.

The night in the mountains is much more refreshing than Chang'an, and when the autumn tigers in Chang'an City are still raging, there is already a faint autumn mood here.

Huddled in the pile of fur in the tent, Li Chengqian had mixed feelings.

The season in mid-August is still like this, which shows how sad the people here are in the cold winter.

Although there was no heating in the East Palace, a fire dragon was raised, and it made him cry cold, and in this deep mountain, let alone what it would be like.

I remembered the story of my grandmother telling me about freezing to death when I was a child, and then I felt powerless when I looked at the cottage now.

Poverty is the heaviest original sin that entangles the land of China. As the cornerstone of the vast empire in this land, the hard-working people should not experience hunger and cold because of poverty.

Maybe the development of society will lead to changes in people's hearts, diluting the initial simplicity, but at least....

Thinking wildly, Li Chengqian fell into a deep sleep.

Once the habit of waking up at a regular time is formed, the accuracy of the biological clock can sometimes be compared to the alarm clock.

Dressed and went out, facing the big tree near the camp, Li Chengqian began training.

Although the long-term sword training does not command the sword like an arm, the heavy iron sword can at least swing it freely.

A little rising sunlight shone on the trunk of the tree, and Li Chengqian slashed at the spot of light, leaving a straight trace on the bark of the long sword.

With another poke in his hand, the tip of the sword was just inserted in the center of the point of light.

There were several slashes in succession, slashing downwards and teasing upwards, no matter how the sword marks appeared, they were bound to be centered on the light spots, and none of them were detached.

Bang Bang Bang!

There was a burst of high-five, and Li Chengqian followed the prestige, only to see Niu Jinda wearing only shorts and shorts, appearing behind him.

After taking off your clothes, you can see how solid the old cow's muscles are.

Seeing that the old cow beckoned, Li Chengqian put down his long sword, clenched his fists, and smashed Niu Jinda with a straight fist.

In the face of the prince's punch, Niu Jinda was not in a hurry, squatted slightly, and met the blow with his belly.

Retract your fist and give it two quick flicks.

The punch just now was indeed accurate, but when the old cow squatted, the abdominal muscles in his abdomen were mobilized by him at the same time, and they were as hard as granite.

Like granite, it may be a bit exaggerated, but this punch is really hurting the enemy and not hurting itself.

Patting his belly, Niu Jinda smiled: "It's not bad, it's a little strong." Your Highness, tell me how you just felt? ”

Pointing to the belly of the old cow, Li Chengqian said: "You just now, you should have stretched your muscles." Your stomach was supposed to be a very fragile place, but you gathered your muscles and resisted the force of the punch. ”

Niu Jinda nodded: "That's right, that's it, there are many weaknesses in the whole body of a person that are fatal by a blow, or cannot move." The abdomen is also a place. If two adult men beat each other, one of them was actually punched. Hehe, unless you have great perseverance, you can't withstand this kind of severe pain at all.

Therefore, when you encounter this situation, if you can dodge, you have to dodge, and if you can't dodge, you have to be prepared to attack. People are hurt differently when they are unprepared and when they are ready...."

Listening carefully to Lao Niu's explanation, Li Chengqian did not dare to omit a word. This is a veteran's real experience on the battlefield, and this experience is more vivid than the cold medical data.

After tossing for half an hour and briefly exhausting his physical strength, he was ready to return to Chang'an.

There is no need for the guards led by the prince himself, the five hundred guards of the forbidden army, and the generals of the Li and Niu families, even if they encounter one or two thousand enemies, as long as they are not elite, self-protection is at least not a problem.

After parting ways with the crown prince, Li Chengqian was surrounded by Changsun Chong and others.

Although they are sisters-in-law, they are all very afraid of Chongwen Pavilion without exception, and the teenagers who did not shout bitterness in the military camp were trained to be bitter, and when they heard that Chongwen Pavilion was Yu Shinan as the owner, they immediately complained bitterly.

Finally got rid of this group of school-tired teenagers, Li Jing came over again.

"Your Highness, how are you going to go to the book? Do you want to go to the letter? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head: "It's Old Man Wei's job to offer advice, and we can't use the format of advice to touch the mold." I'm going to write a treatise, "On Collecting the Rich Country", what do you think? ”
