Chapter 182: Falconry

On the second day of the Wulamuli grassland, Jin Su got up early, and after everything was done, he didn't hang out casually like other young ladies, but went straight to Emperor Ji Wu.

Within a few steps of the tent, Jinsu noticed several falcons hovering in the sky. The people of the steppe have always been good at dealing with animals, and taming a falcon is like conquering a wild horse, and can be regarded as a warrior of the clan.

"If our three birds were still around, we would probably have learned to fly," Bai Qi raised his eyes to stare at the falcon in the sky, muttering regret.

Jin Su pursed her lips, didn't say anything, and gently patted Bai Qi's hand for comfort.

Bypassing the two camps again, before seeing the figure, I heard the conversation and laughter of Emperor Ji Wu and the leader and others from a distance, although the specific content is not real, but judging from the hearty laughter, the interest of Emperor Ji Wu at the moment is not ordinarily good.

When I walked in, I realized that it was the leader with the people of Ulamuri, who was performing a falconry show to Emperor Ji Wu and others. Everyone, including Feng Yao, watched and invested, and no one noticed her.

Hey, it's not a good time! Jinsu thought to herself, and unconsciously stopped. Now, she didn't dare to approach rashly, so she had to stand outside the security line and watch together.

A few pieces of carrion were pierced on top of the arrows and rushed into the sky, and the falcon smelled the smell of blood, and immediately followed, soaring upward, quite like a Dapeng bird.

In the blink of an eye, the flesh worn on the arrow had already been snatched up, and in addition to the scramble, a relatively large piece of meat fell down. The seven or eight falcons immediately turned their heads, retracted their wings, and swooped down until they were about to catch up with the meat, and then they spread their wings violently, stretched their necks, and fought hard for the last predator.

"Good!" Emperor Ji Wu clapped his hands in amazement, with an excited look on his face, and continued, "Eagles have always been children of the sky, arrogant and brave, and ordinary people can't avoid them when they see them, and only you people in Ulamuri have the courage to tame them!" ”

"Hehe~ We don't dare to say anything else, but we don't coax anyone!" The leader replied excitedly.

"That's ...... nature"

Emperor Ji Wu and the leader were impassioned, talking, and very lively, and they didn't notice her at all.

Just as he was hesitating, Feng Yao glanced over his head and gave her a look, motioning her to step forward. Jin Su took a breath, bowed his head slightly, and took a few steps forward.

"Yo~ Miss An is here!" Qi Tian said with a smile.

At this time, Emperor Ji Wu also noticed her, and turned his head to look at her, still with an unfinished smile on his face.

"The courtiers visit the emperor~" said that he was about to make a big salute, but he was supported by Emperor Ji Wu in time to give up.

"I've told you many times that you don't have to make this big gift!" Emperor Ji Wu doted on him, and asked, "Is there something wrong with coming to me early in the morning?" ”

"The courtiers are here to thank you, and they don't want to disturb the emperor's interest, it's really ......"

"Where, you came just in time, and you can also see the domineering spirit of this son of the sky!" After Emperor Ji Wu finished speaking, he asked her to stand beside him. Then he asked the leader, "What did you just say is more powerful, go ahead!" ”

"Yes, feeding the falcon is the first step in taming the falcon, it depends on whether the falcon is really tamed, and the most important thing is whether the falcon can take the initiative to hand over the food to the owner, and according to the owner's wishes, leave the prey alive," the leader said proudly.

"Oh? How obedient is he? Quick, let's all open our eyes! Emperor Jiwu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the leader replied triumphantly, nodding to the Ulamuri man with the eagle flute.

As soon as the eagle flute sounded, the falcons flew back one after another from all directions, constantly hovering above them.

The guard came with a basket of pigeons and placed it in an open area. As soon as the eagle-playing Ulamuri waved his hand, the guard opened the cage, and the pigeons scrambled out, and the falcon flew to bite the pigeons out of instinct.

The eagle flute was blown, and the originally fierce falcon quickly let go of its mouth, grabbed the pigeon with its claws and flew back to the place where the pigeon coop was placed, very obedient.

Emperor Ji Wu and everyone were amazed, and the leader was even more proud when he saw this.

Just as everyone was relaxing, several falcons that had already landed suddenly rose into the air, dropped their pigeons, and rushed towards Emperor Ji Wu like crazy. The sound of the eagle's flute changed, but instead of stopping the falcon from flying towards Emperor Ji Wu, it attracted more falcons in the air.

"Ahh Emperor Ji Wu raised his hand to hide his face and took two steps back.

"Protect the emperor!" Qi Tian shouted while waving the falcon with his bare hands in front of Emperor Ji Wu.

Jin Su wanted to help Emperor Ji Wu leave first, but in a panic, he tripped and stumbled, and accidentally pushed Emperor Ji Wu.

With this push, Emperor Ji Wu was pushed to the outermost, out of everyone's protection, and seeing that the falcon was about to peck at Emperor Ji Wu. At this critical moment, Jin Su pulled Emperor Ji Wu back hard, and stepped forward by himself, originally wanting to fight to the death with the falcon, but who knew that he was so hot that he couldn't open his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Qi Tian's voice came from his ears, and the falcon's screams and wails of "ah, ah".

"Miss, are you alright?" Bai Qi Bai Zhi stepped forward, supported her left and right, and I don't know who it was, took a handkerchief, and gently cleaned up the heat flow around her eyes for her.

"Father, it's the son's poor protection that frightened you!"

It was Feng Yao's voice that pleaded for sin, followed by the voice of the leader reprimanding his subordinates, and the concern and condolences of other princes and ministers to Emperor Ji Wu.

Slowly opened his eyes and saw Bai Qi's injured bright red handkerchief, only to know that what had been spilled on his face just now was the blood of the falcon.

Emperor Ji Wu stood up from the ground with a dark and calm face, and glanced around with cold and fierce eyes, without words, like the calm before the storm.

"Father, let's go back to the camp to rest first," Feng Yi persuaded softly on the side.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Qi Tian echoed.

Then, surrounded by everyone, Emperor Ji Wu went to his tent with an unhappy face.

When Feng Yao left, he only glanced at her without any waves, not knowing what his intentions were.

But it was the prince of oak, who deliberately walked behind, and saw that she was still standing in place in a daze, thinking that she was frightened. Then he instructed Bai Qian, "What are you still doing in a daze, don't send your young lady back." ”

"Yes, yes," Bai Qi responded gratefully, turned her head, and comforted her in a low voice.

Although the scene just now was thrilling, she was not weak enough to be frightened by a flock of falcons. It's just that she thinks this incident is very strange, especially the one when she tripped up, is it just an accident?

When passing through Emperor Jiwu's tent, he happened to meet the leader escorting the person who had just played the eagle flute in.

Right now, she was covered in blood, so she had to go back and wash it first. Before he arrived at his tent, he saw the concubine and the seventeenth princess rushing over, and they probably got the news.

Seeing that she was covered in blood, the concubine Niangniang was puzzled at first, and then worried, "How did you get this?" Hurt? ”

"No, it's all falcon's blood," Jin Su replied lightly, pointing to the blood stains on his body.

"What about the emperor? Is there anything wrong with the emperor? The concubine continued to ask.

"It shouldn't be a big deal, but I'm definitely scared."

"Oh, concubine Niangniang, what else do you care about her? If it weren't for her, how could this have happened? Let's go see my father first! The seventeenth princess glanced at her impatiently, and as she spoke, she was about to leave with the concubine in tow.

"Then, then you should rest first," the concubine explained as she walked.

"Yes, thank you for your care," Jin Su bowed and watched them leave.

What do you mean? Could it be that the falcon attacked Emperor Ji Wu because of her?

Bai Qian was quick to talk, and when she saw the seventeenth princess and the noble concubine walking away, she muttered unhappily, "What did the seventeenth princess say?" How did this matter become our fault, and the falcon was not domesticated by us! ”

"Okay, Bai Qi, let's say a few words, it's not enough to make people think that we are chewing the root of our tongue behind our backs," Bai Zhi advised.

"Originally, listen to what you just said, don't you just rely on our young lady for today's matter? Really, our young lady was almost injured by a falcon in order to save the emperor, and she talked nonsense without knowing anything......"

"Let's go, let's go back first!" Jin Su said lightly, and then turned around first, leaving with Bai Zhi first.

"Huh? Miss," Bai Qi trotted two steps to catch up, and glanced at her several times secretly, probably thinking that she was angry, and did not dare to speak.

It wasn't until I returned to the camp that Jin Su changed his clothes and asked, "When the falcon attacked just now, did you notice who tripped over me?" ”

"Huh? Did someone trip you up a bit? Bai Qi immediately stopped what he was doing, walked to her side, and looked her up and down. Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhi also walked over.

"Oh, I'm fine, I just didn't stand still and accidentally pushed the emperor," Jinsu explained.

"It was too chaotic at that time, Bai Qi and I were in a hurry to drive away the eagles, and we really didn't pay much attention to these details," Bai Zhi recalled, while speculating, "However, at that time, around the young lady, in addition to the emperor, there were only a few His Royal Highnesses and Father-in-law Qi, so there shouldn't be anyone who would deliberately make it bad!" ”

"yes, maybe it was accidentally in the panic," Bai Qi also speculated.

Jin Su thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much!" Although he said this, his heart was always full of doubts.

"But ......" Bai Zhi seemed to think of something, but halfway through the sentence, she didn't continue.

This made Bai Qian anxious, and hurriedly asked, "But what?" You mean! ”

"Do you remember what Princess Seventeen said just now?" Bai Zhi said.

"Hmm," Jinsu nodded.

"You know, what's wrong?" The white monkey asked anxiously.

"Miss said just now that she tripped over someone, so much so that she accidentally pushed the emperor, which almost injured the emperor. But Bai Qian and I didn't find such details, how did the seventeenth princess know? On the contrary, what we see is that the young lady herself stood in the way in order to save the emperor. Bai Zhi analyzed.

"What does my sister mean, someone made a bureau for Miss?" Bai Qian asked incredulously.
