On behalf of the Great Zhou Emperor, the royal brother Ji Mo, who entertained the princes of the world, although he was already old, he was also a good hand in the hunting ground when he put on his armor and bent his bow and shot arrows.

With his noble status, he has been both civil and military since he was a child, and he can almost be called the mainstay of the royal family. The people of Zhongzhou know very well in their hearts that if Zimmer has not supported the overall situation over the years, I am afraid that the decline of the royal family will be even worse.

And the Great Zhou Tianzi, who is about to be a hundred years old, has been guarding the mess of this dynasty for so many years, and he is simply a dispensable existence. No one can say what the purpose of his existence is. There were even many younger princes who had never been summoned by him. Not once for so many years! Moreover, it is said that even the ministers of the dynasty had few opportunities to meet him. The Son of Heaven stayed in his palace complex and didn't know what he was doing.

It is rumored that this Son of Heaven is likely to be the reincarnation of the "Divine Turtle", so he can live so long and live to a rare age. Of course, the implication of this parable can be understood by anyone who is not a fool. It can be seen that in the eyes and hearts of some subjects who are still loyal to the royal family, they hate the lazy government of this son of heaven. So they went to the gate of the king's palace to curse the streets.

And according to some secret legends, it is not that no one has ever broken into the palace to scold the Son of Heaven. However, the fate of these brave men does not seem to be good. Either died of a violent illness or disappeared inexplicably, no one can say what happened behind it.

Zimmer has seen many big scenes. Today's hunt, although it is huge, is nothing in his eyes. After talking and laughing with several princes, he took the lead in drawing his bow and aimed at a blue wolf that had run not far away, and shot an arrow, and the wolf fell down and was shot in the neck, and died instantly.

Naturally, there was a cheer all around. Ji Mo smiled, his expression was very cheerful. After his humble thanks, the others were not to be outdone, and they all looked for their respective prey targets and shot with their bows. Most of these princes and princes have been trained in archery and have good skills. Although there were some who missed, most of them were rewarded in the first round.

The enclosed hunting ground is very large, and there are all kinds of wild beasts and birds in it. When their respective subordinates happily helped their masters to pick up their prey, through comparison, it was found that the biggest harvest in this first round was from the land of Lingnan King Wu and the prince of Wei Nangong And.

King Wu shot a leopard. And Prince Wei shot and killed a black bear. Earlier, the black bear had been pierced through the skull by him with an arrow, and he struggled to survive for a while. When the attendants went to clean up, they were almost injured by it. The prince flew by, shouted, and split the bear's head at once with the broad, thick knife in his hand. This kind of courage is really astonishing.

In the cheers of the house, the high-spirited prince of Wei looked at the huge black bear thrown in the prey pile, and he was very proud in his heart. As soon as he made a move, he won in front of people, and he was proud and respectful, which can be described as a precedent. Don't say that the princes who came here are not as good as him, even the dozen princes and kings, large and small, have been overwhelmed by him.

In comparison, although King Wu hunted a leopard, it was not as heavy as this bear. With a faint smile on his face, Zimmer ordered someone to bring the wine. He personally poured two lamps and gave one to King Wu first as a reward. King Wu, who was full of beard, thanked him loudly, and then raised his head and drank dry, looking very heroic. Of course, a glass of wine is nothing, but on such a major occasion, the meaning of the representation is naturally different.

And then the second wine, Ji Mo held it in his hand, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the tiger and wolf armor soldiers behind Prince Wei, with a meaningful smile in his eyes.

"Prince Nangong is really the dragon and phoenix among people, and he deserves to be the best among the younger generation! Killing bears is effortless. King Wei has a son like this, which is really something to celebrate. Come, please drink this glass of wine to make a sound. ”

Nangong bowed slightly, then stretched out his hand to take it, and glanced around with a wide scan. He took the lead and drank it in a few gulps in front of everyone. Handing the heavy bronze wine cup to the attendant, he laughed loudly.

"Thank you Mo Gong for the wine! Killing a bear is nothing. I have my own means of slaying dragons and tigers, but I don't have a chance to use them...... Hahaha! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of many people around them changed color and looked at them in amazement. This、That's crazy, isn't it!? Moreover, doesn't this guy know that his words are a big taboo?

As we all know, whether it is the Great Zhou Dynasty or the previous dynasties, it is the dragon shape as the royal ornament. The so-called Dragon Zhang Fengyi is talking about the dignity of this totem. In a sense, the dragon and phoenix are the symbols of the royal family. This guy still wants to slay dragons? Isn't that implicit implication that the Son of Heaven's family is to be slaughtered......!

Father Shen, who heard the nephew prince speak in the back, had a green face. He never imagined that Nangong would openly say such outrageous words on such an occasion. Whether he was intentional or unintentional, since the words have been spoken, it is difficult to take them back.

"Humph! Ignorant children. It's really unashamed...... This is Luocheng, Zhongzhou, but it is not the pillar of your Wei State. You are not allowed to talk nonsense here! If you don't take back what you said, apologize immediately. ”

There was a general in iron armor, standing right behind Zimmer. He was furious when he heard this, and he didn't have time to ask for Ji Mo's consent, so he jumped out directly and scolded Nangong sharply.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty declined, it was not without powerful figures. This general's name is Zidun, and he is the leader of the Praetorian Guard in charge of the Los Angeles Palace. Human nature is like fire, and he is very loyal to the royal family. How could he bear to hear that someone dared to openly challenge the authority of the royal family?

There was a moment of silence around. Brother Zimmer held the wine cup in his hand and did not speak immediately. The expression on his face was incomprehensible, as if he hadn't reacted to what was happening, and as if he was considering how to speak. Neither the others, near or far, spoke. Everyone's eyes were wide and small, and their eyes were all converging in this direction.

Unexpectedly, in the face of General Zidun's angry shouting, Nangong not only did not apologize, but showed a more proud look on his face. He put away his smile, his eyes as cold as a knife. Facing the footsteps of the ironclad general, the two were no more than a foot apart.

"Who are you? Who is in a position to dictate to me? This prince came all the way from the Wei Kingdom to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven on behalf of his father...... Is this the hospitality of Los Angeles? Hum! ”

"Ben Jiang Zidun has the responsibility of maintaining the dignity of the royal family. The majesty of the royal family and the Son of Heaven cannot be easily blasphemed! You are so disrespectful, is that what the King of Wei meant? ”

Seeing the anger between the other party's eyebrows, Nangong was not only not afraid, but took two more steps forward. The sword-wielding warrior behind him followed closely. He flexed his middle finger and pointed at the other's chest with a gesture of extreme contempt. The smile on his face was cold and contemptuous.

"It turns out that it's just a watchdog in the palace! Hehe! You have heard clearly, this prince Nangong And, no matter what he does or says, he represents himself and has nothing to do with my father. If there's anything rude, or if there's something you don't pay attention to, just turn a deaf ear. Why be so aggressive? ”

"You're ......!"

Zidun was humiliated by the other party, and he was so angry that his eyebrows exploded. He reached out and touched the hilt of his sword, and was about to draw it in anger. A small group of Praetorian Guards in the vicinity had long been impatient, and they stood by the general's side together, sharing the same hatred for the enemy. And the armor soldiers behind Nangong and behind him were not to be outdone, and they put their hands on the hilt of the knife together. These iron-willed men obey only the orders of the prince. As long as an order is given, they don't care when and where it is, let alone the identity of the other party. The knife light is out of the sheath, and the blood is splashed!

Everything happens in an instant. The hunters in the distance didn't know what was going on. And within a radius of more than ten zhang here, the atmosphere that was still warm just now immediately became a little cold. Who would have thought that a few words of effort would cause trouble! The princes, kings, and princes present did not know what would happen next. In such a situation, although they have different thoughts, the expressions on their faces are different. But one thing is the same. That is, before weighing the pros and cons and judging the situation, no one will take the initiative to stand up and wade into this troubled water.

Especially to everyone's surprise, at this critical juncture, Brother Wang Ji Mo actually didn't say a word. He calmly poured another cup of wine, lowered his head and held it in his hand, and did not spill a single drop of it, and he didn't know who this glass of wine was left for.

In such a weird atmosphere, if anyone rushes forward, then whoever is really a fool! Thankless, if you can't get to the point in a sentence and accidentally offend the powerful Wei State, it will really be endless trouble. The fighting strength of the Wei army was formidable. And King Wei's ambition is huge, and he has no excuse to find fault on weekdays! Who would be stupid enough to take the initiative to bump into it?

However, there are such fools in this world. When everyone chooses to stay on the sidelines, fools will jump out and do things that are very unwise in the eyes of smart people.

"Hunt is hunting! How good is it for everyone to come to the mountains happily as a spring outing? Blow the wind, take a walk, and look at the flowers and grass...... Alas! Why be so angry? ”

The mountain breeze blows through the valley mouth, everything grows, and the breath of spring is so strong. The young man from the northern Zhao Kingdom pursed his lips and whistled rashly. He looked at this tense scene, frowned slightly, and looked very disapproving.
