Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Blossoms Are Beginning to Emerge
While Zhu Hao was stationed on the horse to watch, the team stopped moving, and the emperor Zhu Changluo took the lead in dismounting, and then Zhu Hao and Zhu Youxiao and the accompanying officials also dismounted and stopped, waiting for the emperor's instructions.
Zhu Changluo was obviously in a good mood today, looked at his two sons with a smile on his face, and then said: "Emperor Taizu won the world in a hundred battles, Emperor Chengzu "the Son of Heaven guards the country", so that the barbarian tribes outside the Great Wall have not dared to peep into my Central Plains for hundreds of years. Today I asked the two of you to come here to see if you are usually unfamiliar with the learning of martial arts, today you can lead your own deployment and hunting, if whoever hunts the most will be rewarded with this jade pendant! Saying that, Zhu Changluo took down a dragon-shaped jade pendant.
This is not a simple piece of jade pendant, but something worn by the Son of Heaven, symbolizing imperial power, Zhu Changluo's words are not without the meaning of screening the prince again among the two, Zhu Hao and Zhu Youxiao glanced at each other, and found that his eldest brother looked a little gloomy, Zhu Hao understood in his heart that the eldest brother understood his father's intentions, and secretly said in his heart that he must help the eldest brother, otherwise if he wins, not to mention whether he can sit on the throne smoothly, even if he sits on, I am afraid it will be difficult to last long, or follow the historical process, In the end, it is most reliable to take over the throne from the eldest brother.
Originally, Zhu Hao still had the heart to compete today, but looking at the prize that Zhu Changluo took out, Zhu Hao completely gave up this thought.
Zhu Changluo didn't know that the little Zhu Hao had so many thoughts, so he looked at Zhu Hao lovingly and said, "You have to behave well today!" After finishing speaking, he didn't tell Zhu Youxiao, and he didn't even look at Zhu Youxiao, so he said lightly: "You guys start!" ”
The two of them saluted Zhu Changluo when they heard the words, and then turned over on the horse, and started hunting with their entourage, Zhu Hao and his party rode on the horse before they walked out of a hundred meters, and they saw a lively and cute little rabbit eating the grass on the ground, unaware that the danger had quietly descended on him, Zhu Hao nodded slightly to Hua Rong, Hua Rong immediately took out a feather arrow, took his three-stone bow, and easily pulled a full moon, this action was done in one go, so that Zhu Hao on the side couldn't help but secretly applaud.
Just listen to "Whoosh! After a while, Zhu Hao saw that the feather arrow shot by Hua Rong did not stop after penetrating the rabbit, but then sank into the ground for more than three inches before he could stop the arrow. The poor rabbit was crucified to the ground, and the majesty of this arrow made everyone present applaud.
Only Zhu Hao looked at the rabbit that died tragically, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Life is so fragile, weak rabbits, in front of powerful humans, are like playthings controlled by life and death, I can't help but remind Zhu Hao of his own situation, how similar to this rabbit, in this world of survival of the fittest, if you are not strong enough, your future fate may not be as good as this rabbit, maybe only if you are strong enough, can you prevent everything you don't want to see." ”
Thinking like this, Zhu Hao no longer had any pity for the rabbit who died miserably, and there was a faint coldness in his eyes, and he said secretly: "If you shoot the rabbit yourself, if you are not strong enough, who knows if you will be shot like this rabbit in the future?" This rabbit lives in the royal hunting grounds, and perhaps only death under the feathered arrow is its due fate! ”
Zhu Hao, who is no longer compassionate and compassionate, with a hundred steps through the poplar of Huarong, is naturally a frequent good news, just one morning they have a lot of harvest, a sika deer, two wild boars, five or six rabbits, a dozen pheasants.
Looking at these prey, Zhu Hao couldn't help but think of his eldest brother Zhu Youxiao, and said secretly in his heart: "I don't know how the eldest brother is progressing, I hope I haven't surpassed him!" ”
Just when Zhu Hao was thinking about Zhu Youxiao in his heart, he saw Zhu Youxiao galloping and rushing in his direction, so he rushed to the side and shouted for help, Zhu Hao was shocked when he saw this, but he didn't know what happened to his eldest brother, but the subsequent scene made Zhu Hao completely understand what happened.
I saw that behind Zhu Youxiao, followed by a wild boar weighing five or six hundred pounds, this wild boar's eyes were blood-red, and there were three feather arrows on the top of his head, and he was chasing Zhu Youxiao angrily at the moment, it looked like a running incense burner, it looked very funny, but at this moment Zhu Hao's face did not have a trace of smile, because he knew that this was the wild boar that was shot and injured by Zhu Youxiao and his party, but because of the lack of strength, he did not shoot the wild boar, the wild boar was crazy because of the injury, if this wild boar really caught up with Zhu Youxiao, This Zhu Youxiao must be dead and dead.
At the last moment, Zhu Hao shouted: "Hua Rong! ”
Hua Rong immediately understood, took out a feather arrow, put on the three-stone bow in his hand again, and pulled another full moon very easily, aiming at the wild boar and drank: "Go!" ”
As Hua Rong's voice sounded, the feather arrow shot directly from the boar's head like a bolt of lightning, and then flew again for a while before slowly falling to the ground from mid-air.
And the five or six hundred pounds of wild boar, no matter how huge the body is, can not withstand such a serious penetrating injury, the huge body seems to be fixed in place at the moment, shook slightly, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Zhu Youxiao, who was riding on a horse, also looked back on the horse at this moment and saw the wild boar that had fallen to the ground, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to hold on to the reins and let the galloping horses stop running, because if they continued to run like this, they would definitely bump into Zhu Hao's team, which Zhu Youxiao did not want to see anyway.
I don't know if it's because I was too nervous just now, Zhu Youxiao stimulated the horse by pulling the reins, only to hear the horse roar at the sky, and instead of stopping, the speed increased the speed of running, obviously the horse was frightened at the moment and had lost his mind.
At this moment, Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on horseback because he had just lost the threat of a wild boar, had just recovered his face, and he was as pale as paper with fright at this moment, and he obviously lost his square inch, and he didn't know what to do.
Zhu Hao was even more anxious and a little helpless when he saw this, at this time, Hua Rong jumped up from the horse he was riding, and made a beautiful turn and leap in the air, and landed on Zhu Youxiao's horse, pulled the reins with both hands, and strangled it fiercely, the horse screamed in the front hooves of the pain, if it weren't for Hua Rong's excellent riding skills, I am afraid that this horse would overturn Zhu Youxiao and Hua Rong to the ground, although this scene just now was thrilling, but it also made the horse suffer and completely survived, Hua Rong took the lead in turning over and dismounting, Then Zhu Youxiao, who was pale, was also helped off the horse.
Zhu Youxiao came back to his senses after a long time, and said to Hua Rong: "You are the imperial brother's guard, right?" Thank you just now for saving me! ”
Seeing this, Hua Rong hurriedly returned the salute: "The villain is indeed the guard of the five princes, just now it is all small that should be done, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to thank you!" ”
Zhu Hao watched the two chat, then turned over and dismounted, came to Zhu Youxiao's front and said, "Big brother, what happened, what about the guards you brought?" Why are you alone? ”
The reason why Zhu Hao quickly turned over and dismounted was that he really cared about Zhu Youxiao's situation, and second, the loyalty of this Hua Rong was really low, if he really chatted with Zhu Youxiao too well, he was afraid that his newly acquired Hua Rong would be abducted by his eldest brother.
As soon as Zhu Youxiao saw Zhu Hao coming, he couldn't care about what to say to Hua Rong and hurriedly said: "It was really thrilling just now, fortunately I met the emperor's brother, just now we found this wild boar, so we wanted to shoot it, but I didn't expect this wild boar to have rough skin and thick meat, and I didn't shoot it to death after shooting three arrows in a row, but it also angered it, and my guards didn't know how to cover me now, I'm afraid it's more than lucky!" I'm the one who hurt them! Saying that, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were red, and tears poured out intermittently.
Zhu Hao was also a little moved when he heard this, just because they are royal children, but they have to use other people's lives to cut off the queen at a critical moment, which is indeed a very unfair thing, but this is the case in this era, the imperial power is the supreme existence, and anyone who dies to defend the imperial power and protect the royal family will think that this is a very glorious thing.
Zhu Hao was really sad when he saw Zhu Youxiao crying, so he comforted him: "Big brother, you don't have to be sad, those strong men will definitely die if they know that you are fine!" When the eldest brother reigns in the world in the future, he will do more for the people, and he will be worthy of these strong men! The future of Daming still depends on the eldest brother, you must take care of your health, eldest brother! ”
Zhu Hao's words made Zhu Youxiao's sad mood a little restrained, but after a while, he said with a sad face: "It's been a morning, I haven't hunted anything, brother Huang, if I go back to see my father like this, my father will definitely be displeased, it's hard to say who the future of the Ming Dynasty is!" I see that my father is very optimistic about the emperor's brother, if the emperor's brother becomes the lord of the Ming Dynasty in the future, I will do more good things for the emperor's brother and me to benefit the people! It can be regarded as repaying the imperial brother for these guards who died in vain to save me today! ”
When Zhu Hao heard this, he was terrified in his heart, Zhu Hao had already determined in his heart that he would never be able to sit on that dragon chair now, if his father really couldn't escape the Red Pill case, then the future emperor must be his eldest brother, because with the current relationship between the two, if his eldest brother ascends the throne, he will definitely protect himself, otherwise it is someone else, even if he ascends the throne himself, there will be a way to die and live.
