The sixth day of October, the day of departure for winter hunting.

Before dawn, the maid who had been waiting for the ink painting that had not slept was whispering to Fang Fengzhu. After getting up and quickly cleaning up, Fang Fengzhu woke up Li Yuanjia again, and then began to busily put a set of things on him one by one.

Anyway, when Li Yuanjia came to his senses, he was already in armor, so he didn't wear a helmet, and he didn't have a pair of boots left.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early!"

Just when Li Yuanjia just wanted to ask someone to fetch water and wash his face, the old housekeeper Han Shan walked in and said in a deep voice: "Today's king must not be late, it's time to get off." ”

"Ha ......"

After shaking this uncomfortable armor, Li Yuanjia also knew the urgency of the matter, and waved his hand casually: "Okay, you go and prepare the carriage...... Spring smoke, take a wet towel and wipe my face! ”

"Yes, King!"

Chunyan hurriedly went to get a wet towel, but after listening to his words, Han Shan was full of black lines: "King, this is going to winter hunting...... Where is the reason to ride a carriage? ”

"Huh? Horseback riding from the start? ”

Hearing Lao Han say this, Li Yuanjia instantly felt a little painful.

His riding skills are average, and he has been riding in a carriage for the past few years, so his riding skills have "degenerated", that is, he has only picked up a little bit after more than half a month of practice. It's just that I thought I was going to take a carriage to the place where I hunted in winter, and then I changed into a war horse when I really started hunting, but I didn't expect it to be riding all the way over?

Weather at the beginning of October, riding over?

This is not the beginning of October in the future solar calendar, the weather is still very warm, and it is no problem to wear short sleeves occasionally. October of the twelfth year of the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan is the traditional lunar calendar, and it is November after more than a thousand years, and places like Xi'an should start heating!

Hundreds of miles away, riding all the way to freeze to death!

It's just that in response to his question, Han Shan nodded and said seriously, "If you go back to the king, it's best to ride a horse, at this time, only some civil officials and female dependents will take a car, if you don't ride a horse at your age and status......"

Han Shan's words were not finished, but the meaning behind them was known.

It's a shame!

At this time, Fang Fengzhu also whispered beside him: "King, it's only a day or two, just be patient!" We've got a big bunch for you, if it's cold......"

"No, no!"

Without waiting for Fang Fengzhu to finish speaking, Li Yuanjia suddenly smiled: "Han Shan, I understand what you mean, but this time I went to winter hunting, this king still has to take a carriage!" ”

"Huh?"

"King, this ......"

"Alright, no need to say it!"

Waving his hand, interrupting what Fang Fengzhu wanted to say, Li Yuanjia raised his eyebrows and smiled: "And I not only want to take the carriage, but also the carriage that Chen Mu and the others carefully built...... Needless to say, get ready! If you delay the hour, this king will make you look good! ”

“…… Yes, King! ”

Glancing at Li Yuanjia with a firm expression, Han Shan secretly sighed in his heart and took the order to go out.

He knew that the king had been pondering the carriage all these years, and always said that the two-wheeled one was not as stable and comfortable as the four-wheeled one, and the current carriage was too troublesome to turn or something, so when he hadn't gone to Luzhou yet, he began to let Chen Mu and them ponder, and it took several years at once!

In today's palace, there is a four-wheeled carriage parked.

Although Han Shan himself had never sat on it once, he knew that on the day that Chen Mu and the others made it, the king went out for a walk, and when he came back, he regarded this carriage as a treasure, and no one was allowed to touch it except him. And Chen Mu's kid would go around the carriage as long as he had time, and sometimes he would get into the carriage, and he didn't know what he was doing......

Now it looks like the carriage is ready for use?

After Han Shan left, Fang Fengzhu said with a worried face: "King, today you are going to go on the road with Your Majesty, this carriage ......"

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Without waiting for Fang Fengzhu to speak, Li Yuanjia waved his hand and said with a smile: "Just to tease Han Shan just now, I will ride a horse when I set off, as for saying that the carriage is just for preparation later, it will not be used so early." ”

“…… The king knows what to expect. ”

His eyelids jumped twice, and Fang Fengzhu shook his head with a bitter smile in his heart.

Finally put on his boots and helmet, Li Yuanjia was finally ready, turned over and got on his horse under the eyes of a group of people, shouted softly, and led the palace guards to the west of the city. And after he left, a strange four-wheeled carriage led by Guli and several two-wheeled carriages with deep ruts also drove out of the gate of Han Wang's Mansion and followed in the same direction......

……

"Gotta ......"

Another chaotic sound of horses' hooves was heard, which caught everyone's attention.

It's very close to the scheduled hour, and now it's the real big guys. And when a man in a yellow coat appeared in front of everyone with dozens of knights, many people immediately recognized the identity of this young man!

Li You, King of Qi, the fifth son of the Tang Emperor.

"Wow!"

As Li You pulled the reins of the horse, almost half of the war horse under his crotch stood up, which immediately shocked many people around.

Seeing Li You, who looked triumphant and seemed to be very proud of what he had just done, some people pouted their lips disdainfully, and simply turned their heads away from looking, and some people smiled dumbly and scolded "recklessly" in a low voice, and some immediately greeted them and laughed loudly: "Good skills!" King Qi's riding skills have really reached the point of being superb, and it seems that this winter hunt is going to be a big fight! “

"Haha, where, where."

Although he said modest words in his mouth, who could not see the smugness on Li You's face?

However, this kid is very fond of hunting, and he goes out to toss a lot on weekdays, which is indeed much stronger than the average gentleman. So even if there is disdain in his heart, no one dares to say anything.

Besides, this is the emperor's son, isn't it?

Today's sage feels the most sorry for his son, take this Li You as an example, he was originally named the king of Qi when Zhenguan was ten years old, and he supervised the military of the five states, so it stands to reason that he should have taken office a long time ago. But just a sentence of "recuperation" stayed in Chang'an, and I don't want to be a vassal until now!

Look at this, how does it look like you are sick?

However, after Li You looked left and right, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Hehe, this person has come a lot?" Why don't you see it...... Well? “

Just when Li You opened his mouth to say something, he suddenly frowned, and turned his head to look in the direction he had just come.

After a moment, all eyes looked over.

"Gotta ...... Get...... Got ......."

A very strange sound of horses' hooves, from far and near, soon became clear.
