Chapter 199: Hunting the Wolves

The Northern Song Dynasty did not have the official position of prime minister or prime minister.

The official title of the prime minister of the Song Dynasty was called Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, and the official title of the deputy prime minister was called Governor of the Political Affairs.

In addition to the chief and deputy prime ministers, there are also envoys, such as privy envoys, left-behind envoys, festival envoys and servants, Zhongshu Order, and Tongping Zhangshi, all of which are called envoys.

Therefore, although Han Lingcheng is not well-known, it is just a little bit of his luck.

Although Han Lingcheng only achieved the position of six books, his connections in the court should not be underestimated.

He and the famous prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty were once sons and daughters.

Zhang Junping did this, naturally to pave the way for his younger brother.

There are people in the DPRK who are good officials, and with Han Lingcheng's care, Zhang Junhui's future road will be easier.

After all, it is impossible for Zhang Junping to promote and recommend his younger brother.

Although there is a saying that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, but you can't raise the virtuous again and again without avoiding relatives, right?

can only come once at a critical moment.

……

After discussing the lottery head and determining the middleman, Zhang Junping and Xia Linsheng began to compete in shooting.

Zhang Junping did not bring a bow and arrows into the mountain, after all, he is now a civil official, not a military general.

I casually found a one-stone strong bow from the forbidden army.

With a little hand, I pulled a full moon.

This bow Zhang Junping uses a little lightly, but it can also be used improvised.

"Good! Zhang Zhixian is so strong! Xia Linsheng, Li Shijin, Han Lingcheng and others praised loudly.

"It's over, it's over!" Zhang Junping smiled and arched his hand modestly.

Xia Linsheng praised on his lips, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart.

The bow in his hand, though luxurious, was only a stone bow.

Even if it was a stone bow, Xia Linsheng couldn't pull the bow so easily.

It doesn't matter what the lottery head of the competition is, the key is that it doesn't look good on the face if you lose.

There is no comparison, but the test shooting hunt was proposed by him, and it is difficult to say that it is not comparable.

What are you afraid of, General Ben has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and he will never give up!

Xia Linsheng comforted himself in his heart, took a bow and arrow, and walked into the mountain forest with two personal soldiers.

Zhang Junping also took a bow and arrow, and took two officials into the mountain forest on the other side.

In this era, although there is no animal protection law, there are still many wild animals.

Especially deep in the mountains, there are more wildlife.

Zhang Junping walked with the servants for less than ten minutes, and then he shot down two pheasants and three hares.

After walking for more than half an hour, Zhang Junping climbed a hill.

He prepared to go to the hill to observe the environment and determine the goal.

Unlike Xia Linsheng, Zhang Junping doesn't care about winning or losing, he only cares about bets.

With the hundreds of craftsmen of Xia Linsheng and Li Shijin, and the four battalions of the Xiang Army, the progress of building the reservoir and canal will be much faster.

Although all the expenses for the construction of reservoirs and canals are the responsibility of the ten families, if too many people are recruited, it will also affect the lives of the local people.

Zhang Junping is not the kind of official who blindly pursues political achievements, and the construction of reservoirs and canals is good governance, but if it is too eager, it may also turn into tyranny.

Tyranny and good governance are often just a thin line.

"Lang Jun, over there!" He Xi pointed to the distance and whispered.

Zhang Junping looked in the direction of He Xi's finger.

About five or six hundred meters away, in a clearing, more than a dozen gray wolves were hunting a lone wild boar.

This is not a common scenario.

In the mountains and forests, there is a saying that there are pigs, two bears and three tigers.

Wild boars are almost invincible in the mountains and forests.

In general, wild boars are not preyed upon by predators in the jungle.

It's still terrible for wild boars to go berserk.

The mane on his body, sticked with pine grease and dirt, is comparable to an armor, and it is difficult for the minions of a tiger and a wild wolf to tear through the defenses of a wild boar.

Facing the hunt of more than a dozen gray wolves, although the wild boar was a little panicked, it was not frightened and did not dare to move.

I saw the wild boar, leaning against a big stone, with its head down, and its mouth purring, and it did not blindly send its natural skills, and it rushed savagely.

The boar was still very clever and knew where his cover door was, so he leaned his back against the big rock and refused to leave.

For humans, the vital part of a wild boar is the eye, and it is difficult to shoot a wild boar with an arrow at other parts.

But for predators like gray wolves, the key to wild boars is the back door.

The gray wolf hunts wild boars, and when they go down with one paw, they can pull out the intestines of wild boars.

The boar also knew where his cover door was, so he leaned his back against the rock, and let the gray wolf try to provoke and provoke, but he was not moved in the slightest.

Humans often curse people and say that they are as stupid as pigs.

In fact, this is an insult to pigs, pigs are very intelligent animals, in the animal kingdom, the ranking is still relatively high, second only to chimpanzees, and the IQ is equivalent to that of a three- or four-year-old toddler.

"Go, go down!" Zhang Junping took He Xi and Zhang Erzhu and walked down the hill quickly.

This is the prey sent to the door, take down these dozen gray wolves, and the wild boar, basically this competition is won.

Before Zhang Junping and the three of them approached the wolves, the wolves who were hunting had already discovered Zhang Junping and them.

With a wolf howl, the wolves who were hunting wild boars immediately split up and turned their heads to prepare to kill Zhang Junping and them.

Zhang Junping quickly approached the wolves as he drew his bow and arrows.

After half a year of training, Zhang Junping's archery skills, although not to mention 100 shots and 100 steps, can also achieve 9 hits out of 10.

Especially the close-range rapid fire, the hand speed that has been practiced by the single for decades is no worse than Yang Wenguang and their generals who have practiced riding and shooting since childhood.

By the time the wolves pounced on Zhang Junping's side, he had already shot ten arrows, and of the seven wild wolves that pounced, only the one in front of him remained.

"Don't do it!" Zhang Junping shouted to He Xi, who was about to swing his knife to slash and kill the wolf, and pierced the heart with an arrow, nailing the seventh wolf to the ground.

In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the two pro-soldiers led by Xia Linsheng and the two officials led by Zhang Junping only wore swords and did not hold bows and arrows.

The purpose of their existence is to help with prey.

The loss of seven of his men in an instant made the head wolf extremely angry.

With a terrible wolf howl, the eight wild wolves who were besieging the wild boar directly gave up their prey and turned their heads into the jungle.

With the loss of seven of his subordinates, the head wolf was angry, but he had not lost his mind, and knew that the creature with two feet was powerful, so he immediately chose to retreat.

Zhang Junping followed the footsteps of the wild wolf and shot seven or eight more feathered arrows, but in the end, only three wild wolves were left.

Fortunately, Hexi intercepted the wild boar that was about to escape.

was shot into the eye by Zhang Junping with an arrow, piercing the brain, and the life of the wild boar resulted.

"Lang Jun, this competition, no surprise, we have won!"

"Hmmm! Erzhu, you go and call someone to carry the prey! Zhang Junping nodded and instructed Zhang Erzhu.

There were ten wild wolves and one wild boar, and it was not at all that they could take back.
