Chapter 16: The Tiger Appears
"Well, that's good!" Emperor Longqing, who was sitting in the dragon bowl, looked at the situation outside through the curtain raised by Li Fang, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, there are three battalions of men and horses over there, these are the elite soldiers of my Ming army!" Li Fang pointed to the array of the three major battalions on the left side of the palace gate and said with a smile.
"Really?" Emperor Longqing picked up the clairvoyance beside him and looked at it, and the first thing that appeared in his eyes was Shen Chongming in the front, and he saw that this kid had a majestic face, and his waist was straight, but it was a pity that the half of the steamed bun that he grasped in his right hand also fell into the eyes of Emperor Longqing, and his image was completely ruined.
"Hehe, Li Fang, look, that's not Shen Chongming!" Emperor Longqing laughed, raised his hand and handed the clairvoyance to Li Fang.
"Emperor Xie!" After thanking him, Li Fang also looked at it with interest, looking at the half steamed bun in Shen Chongming's hand, and then he knew why Emperor Longqing was laughing.
"Your Majesty, this Shen Chongming is really interesting!" Li Fang knew that Emperor Longqing was not displeased by this matter, so he immediately climbed the pole and got to the point.
"Yes! I've forgotten about him these days, and tell me how he has been in the Shenji Camp for so long! Seeing Shen Chongming, Emperor Longqing couldn't help but think of Gao Gong, if it weren't for his identity, this Shen Chongming would still be his junior brother!
"Back to the emperor's words, I heard from the internal officials of the Shenji Battalion that since Shen Chongming arrived at the Shenji Battalion, he has concentrated on training soldiers and horses, and these days have made the left sentry of the Shenji Battalion make a lot of progress!" Li Fang said with a smile, he has been concerned about Shen Chongming.
"Oh, so he also has some opinions on military affairs!" Emperor Longqing couldn't help but be interested, Li Fang was stunned, and knew that Emperor Longqing was a nobleman who forgot about things, and forgot about Shen Chongming's meritorious service in Annan.
"Your Majesty, this Shen Chongming has some skills in military affairs, and he went to Annan with Zhu Xizhong last year?" Li Fang cautiously prompted.
As soon as he heard this, Emperor Longqing thought for a while: "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot about it!" After a pause, Emperor Longqing instructed: "Li Fang, you write down, if Shen Chongming has some skills in military affairs, he must be promoted and reused!" ”
"Yes, the slave has written it down!" Li Fang's heart was full of joy, and finally had a bright day!
"Shen Chongming, how could he be here!" Looking at Shen Chongming riding on a tall horse, Zhao Ziqian couldn't help but be stunned, she never thought that he was in the army.
"What did you say, Holy Maiden?" Zhao Ziqian's voice was relatively low, and Zhou Feiyong, who was standing beside her, didn't hear clearly.
"Oh, nothing?" Zhao Ziqian's expression was a little unnatural, but her face was covered with a light veil, and Zhou Feiyong couldn't see it.
As soon as she looked up, Zhao Ziqian found that Shen Chongming's eyes were staring at him stunned, and his eyes slowly moved as the war horse moved forward.
At this time, Shen Chongming was very excited, but it was a pity that the two of them were full of people who came to witness the holy face, and the crowd was surging and he couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but Shen Chongming could recognize that it was the woman in white who he met a few days ago.
Zhao Ziqian was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head, afraid of being recognized by Shen Chongming, who was getting closer and closer, and she really didn't know what to do in the face of him.
Shen Chongming resisted the urge to jump off the horse and take a clear look, after all, this is to protect the emperor, if he messes up, maybe it will cause chaos, and no one can afford that kind of responsibility.
In this way, Shen Chongming could only watch the distance between the two widen again, and at that moment, it was as if his heart was dripping blood.
"Holy Maiden, let's go! Otherwise, it won't be a good show! Zhou Feiyong watched the team gradually move away, the smile on his face became more and more intense, he had already investigated the situation of the hunting ground, there was a seventeen-battle high cliff not far away, and on the cliff was a dense forest, because of the dangerous terrain, the defense of the officers and troops was extremely weak.
Maybe they thought that no one could climb up, but they nailed a rope to the cliff in advance, and climbed it with all their strength, and it was easy to climb it, and then they could see a good show lurking in the woods.
"Well, let's go!" Looking at Shen Chongming, who disappeared, Zhao Ziqian said weakly.
The royal hunting ground is located forty miles north of the city, and it used to be Shen Chongming's ideal training place, but as soon as he arrived with the troops, he was driven back by the two hundred centaurs who were responsible for guarding the hunting ground.
The brigade of people and horses did not move fast, mainly because Emperor Longqing, who was sitting in the dragon bowl, wanted to enjoy the scenery halfway, but what his old man said about observing the people's feelings was simply an empty word, and five or six villages on both sides of the way had already been cleared by officers and soldiers one step in advance, and Emperor Longqing was intoxicated with the scenery, but also left this matter behind, now what he needs is to have a good time, just two days of hunting time, there is no room for waste.
Twisting and turning, the journey of nearly fifty miles took two hours to arrive at the hunting ground, looking at the bitter gourd face of Xiong Dabiao, who had the same mission as himself, Shen Chongming couldn't help but feel a little lucky, fortunately, Comrade Erdan donated a big steamed bun, otherwise he would have starved to death for such a long time.
"Hehe, what a view!" Emperor Longqing, who stepped down from the dragon bowl, stretched his waist and smiled: "Yes! A few days ago, it was still windy every day? As soon as you leave the city today, the emperor will be beautiful and sunny, which is really providence! Li Fang's sycophant immediately followed, and immediately made Emperor Longqing's face smile even bigger, God, God doesn't take care of it.
"Li Fang, isn't it time to hunt next!" Emperor Longqing had an eager expression on his face, and he was very impatient.
"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch, and the soldiers haven't eaten a drop of water along the way, so they should be fed and drunk first, so as to reflect the emperor's kindness!" For the set of winning people's hearts, Li Fang is much stronger than Emperor Longqing, who has not long been on the throne.
"Well, that's reasonable, come, spread my word to the three armies, immediately set up camp and bury the pot to make rice, so that the soldiers can eat a full meal!"
"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, so let's go back to Longpu and rest first!" After a whole morning of turbulence, Xu Jie was a little older, he knew that the emperor was walking so slowly, he should have come in a sedan chair.
Glancing at this person who had stirred up his Yaxing, the smile on Emperor Longqing's face suddenly disappeared, but he had already taken a step back in the matter of hunting, and Emperor Longqing didn't want to lose his face too much, nodded, and walked back to Longpu with Li Fang's support.
"Teacher, let's drink saliva first!" Zhang Juzheng handed over the water bladder, which was all cold and white, which was specially prepared for the teacher.
"Alas, the latest chapter of the Twin Concubines! Annoying! Xu Jie sighed, and while taking the water bladder, he ordered: "Uncle, you go and tell the accompanying generals, and then send someone to check the hunting ground, and there must be no disclosure!" ”
"Yes, student, let's go!" Zhang Juzheng answered, turned around and hurried away.
Although it is said to be a thorough investigation, but for the hunting ground within a radius of nearly twenty miles, where can it be so easy, and the prey has been placed, as soon as the team of people and horses moves, it will definitely disturb and cause the prey to run around, and when the emperor can't find the prey when he hunts, it will be very bad.
The impatient Emperor Longqing only waited for an hour, and he could no longer hold back the desire in his heart to show his skills, and with an order, nearly 1,000 people and horses all got on their horses and started hunting.
Because it was the emperor's hunting, it was necessary to have fun and not ignore safety, so the prey released in the hunting ground three days ago were all herbivores, with hares and pheasants the most, and the largest being three sika deer.
As soon as nearly a thousand people moved, they immediately alarmed the prey hidden in the grass, and ran away with joy, a lot of them could be seen everywhere, and Emperor Longqing, who was surrounded by everyone in the center, was very happy, and the horsewhip waved, and the sweat and blood BMW under the crotch flew out, and several large internal guards around him were immediately left behind.
Where is this, dozens of personal guards immediately urged the horsewhip and began to chase, but the emperor's mount is comparable to them, plus staying in the palace all day long, this riding skill is not as good as the soldiers in the army, and he was thrown farther and farther away by Emperor Longqing.
"Quick, keep up!" Xu Jie worked tirelessly, riding on an old horse and also had a bow and arrow, what he was afraid of was that the emperor would have a problem, and now he couldn't help but be anxious when he saw the situation.
Shen Chongming whistled, and one hundred soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who were originally following behind the Ouchi guards immediately divided into two teams and chased after them from both sides.
The terrain here is very similar to the training ground, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are very handy when they run on horseback. Although the war horse under the crotch cannot be compared with the emperor's royal mount, with his skillful equestrian skills, he left behind the dozens of Ouchi guards who walked in a straight line, and approached Emperor Longqing little by little.
Shen Chongming was not idle, and even walked in the center and chased straight up, and the old Xu Ge in front of him felt a gust of wind blowing, and he was almost blown off the horse.
Seeing that Shen Chongming had taken action, Xiong Dabiao did not hesitate, and with an order, he led a hundred brothers under his command to chase after him, who was originally messy in the wind of the hundred officials of the court in front, if he didn't hold the reins of the horse, he might really be knocked off the horse by the soldiers of the three thousand battalions who were interspersed with the advance.
Even so, there are quite a few people who scold regardless of the image, this group of barbarians.
The horse's hooves rumbled, and dozens of Ouchi guards finally realized one thing clearly, they were really inferior to these sergeants who could only do some simple fist and foot kung fu in the horse competition.
Emperor Longqing became more and more excited, as a child of the royal family, he had to practice equestrian martial arts since he was a child. Although he has not used it for many years, he has never forgotten this skill, and when he saw that there was a hare running for his life not far in front of him, he immediately took aim with a bow.
The sweaty BMW is not only fast, but also runs very smoothly, Emperor Longqing squinted one eye and chased out a section, seeing that the time was ripe to let go, at this moment the crotch BMW suddenly hissed, and the front hooves stood upright.
Emperor Longqing grabbed the air with both hands, was thrown off the horse with a miserable scream, and fell to the ground in embarrassment, and at the moment when his old man touched the ground, a tiger roar suddenly sounded.
At this time, Shen Chongming was five steps behind Emperor Longqing, and when he looked at it, his face was bloodless, and a fierce tiger suddenly appeared on the horizon.
