Volume 1 Don't Use the Hidden Dragon Chapter 48 Hunting Ground for Deer
The wilderness is boundless, the forests are towering, it is mid-autumn, the grass grows and the beasts are fat, and the animals are desperately searching for food and replenishing energy for the coming difficult winter, which is also a good time to hunt. In Guangcheng Garden, in a pine forest, there is a team of knights roaring vertically and horizontally, holding bows through the forest.
At a glance, this team of knights are all some noble young men, all of them are embroidered with brocade clothes, crowns and belts, holding strong bows, and straddling BMWs, so they are not majestic. The first man, tall and thin, looking at his skeletal frame, should have been an adult, but his white face was beardless, but his appearance still looked a little immature, and his clothes were not the same as those of others. He wore uncrowned hair on his head, a plain brocade robe on his upper body, a leather belt around his waist, pleats under his trousers, thick-soled sheepskin boots on his feet, his feet undulating with his mount, and a pair of stirrups. The yellow horse under his crotch, with white spots on the side of his body, a high head and broad chest, and four hooves of the wind.
This man is Jiang Xun, a servant brought by Yin Hejin in Henan, in addition to Wu Qiong, Zhou Bi and Jing Wei behind him, there are also a group of official eunuchs who came from the wind. Just because out of nowhere came out of nowhere in the forest, a snow-white stag was very strange and rare, and it attracted several teams of people to chase after it.
Jiang Hyun drove his horse with stirrups, bypassed an oak tree, saw an opportunity, hurriedly opened his riding bow, mounted a feather arrow, and shot an arrow fiercely.
But the white deer was very alert and cunning, and its body was light and agile, and it leaped violently, and the feathered arrow grazed its cocked tail, and it fell into the air.
Jiang Hyun laughed fiercely, and was about to make persistent efforts, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and knew that someone else had also chased after him, so he hurriedly took the arrow again. As soon as he put on the arrow, there was a scream in his ear, and a feathered arrow was falling in front of the white deer, grazing the white deer's nose, and only a fraction of a minute missed the white deer's head.
Jiang Hyun didn't want Bailu to be robbed by others, so while Bailu was stunned, another arrow burst out, straight through Bailu's neck and into the ventricles. Before the white deer could let out a mournful scream, he fell to the ground and died.
Almost at the same time, the rider behind him came running. Jiang Hyun Le stopped his mount, turned his head, and laughed proudly: "It's too late, I've already taken the lead." ”
The knight behind him slowed down his horse and drove his horse to Jiang Hyun's approach, his expression was indifferent, not envious, nor annoyed, but he just looked Jiang Hyun up and down before saying, "If you guess correctly, it's Jiang Bopei at your feet?" ”
The man was in his thirties, with a short beard, a majestic figure, and a tiger skin robe, which could be seen at a glance as a capable and courageous man. Although he was extraordinary, Jiang Hyun didn't know him, so he immediately saluted and replied: "It's Jiang, but I don't know the name of the high surname." ”
The man didn't answer Jiang Hyun, nor did he return the salute, but asked again: "Since the foot is here, can Ding Mengchen be close to the left?" ”
Seeing that his behavior was a little rude, Jiang Xun didn't mind, but just said: "Guangchengyuan is a place for the Son of Heaven to hunt, and I also got here with Henan Yin, so Brother Meng Chen is naturally not here." ”
"Well, that's how it should be," the man just nodded, and said no more, but turned his horse's head and walked away. Jiang Hyun only felt that this person was quite familiar with his voice, eyes, and body shape, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
At this time, a large group of knights behind also arrived, and everyone saw that Bailu was shot to death by Jiang Xun, and they came to take advantage of the excitement and worked in vain, so they returned in defeat and scattered, only Wu Qiong, Zhou Bi and Jing Wei did not leave.
Zhou Yu and Jiang Hyun had a close relationship, so they asked, "Bo Pei, who is Fang?" ”
Jiang Hyun was still looking at the direction of Chu Yan's departure, his eyes were solemn, but at this time, he had already remembered where he had seen that person. Seeing Zhou Bi's question, he retracted his gaze and replied, "That person is the hero of Luoyang, Chu Yan." ”
Zhou Yu had never heard of Chu Yan, but Wu Qiong had come to Luoyang several times, so she had naturally heard of Chu Yan's reputation, but she was a little puzzled, and said: "Chu Yan has always been known for robbing the rich and helping the poor, and she has not been arrested for a long time, but she has not seen the light, but she doesn't know how to enter Guangcheng Garden?" ”
"I guess it must have been a noble man's disciple who got here." Jiang Xun didn't care about how Chu Yan came in, but only cared about Chu Yan coming to see him and asked what Ding Xiao meant. Judging from the deer shooting, Chu Yan's riding skills and archery skills are better than Jiang Xun's, if he hadn't borrowed this good horse from Cao Cao, Jiang Xun borrowed horsepower, and it was really impossible to say who would have killed the deer. What's more, Chu Yan is also among the Eight Tigers of Luoyang, and he is a master in Beijing, so it seems that it is necessary to remind Ding Xiao again.
"Oops, roe deer!" Jiang Hyun was pondering, when he heard Jing Wei shouting, turned around, and sure enough, he saw that a one-eyed wolf had already taken two big mouths on the waist and abdomen of the white deer, and a good skin, which was spoiled by a beast, Jiang Hyun also planned to use this deer skin to make long towels or leather boots for Jing Zhen and Yi'er.
Jiang Hyun was furious and raised his hand to shoot an arrow, but was avoided by the one-eyed wolf. It scurried and fled along the forest path, and was about to sink into the forest.
"Yi Zhi, and bring the white deer back first!" Before the words fell, Jiang Hyun chased after him.
Zhou Yu wanted to call Jiang Xun back, but Jiang Xun was fast, and he was already missing at this time. Where can Jing Wei rest assured that Jiang Xun went out to chase alone, there were not only deer, rabbits, pigs and birds in Guangchengyuan, but also bears, tigers and leopards, so he rode a horse and hurriedly chased along the path. Leaving Wu Qiong and Zhou Yu to look at each other, in the end, they brought Bailu back.
The one-eyed wolf was much more cunning than the previous white deer, and fled to the dense bushes and steep rocks, Jiang Xun had no choice but to abandon the path and follow into the dense forest.
Although it was the middle of autumn, the woods were still dense, and it was obvious that they had reached the outskirts of the hunting ground, and their clothes were cut several times by the branches of the trees along the way. The horses' hooves are sometimes rocky, sometimes leaves, sometimes dwarf trees, sometimes shallow streams, this kind of road conditions, no matter how good the horse is, can not get up quickly. Seeing the one-eyed wolf disappear from sight, Jiang Hyun was also helpless. Originally, he wanted to hunt a wolf back, but he didn't really come because it broke the deerskin, so he had to give up at this time and find a way back.
Jiang Hyun looked back and saw that he was in a small mountain col, surrounded by dense bushes, sparsely dotted with many rocks and big trees, and he couldn't find the way he came, and he didn't know where the forest path he came from. However, Jiang Hyun estimated the time and looked at the sun again, and he could know the general direction, and it was not difficult to go back.
Just as he was about to walk back, Jiang Hyun suddenly heard a faint sound of shouting and killing on the other side of the southern hillside, and occasionally the sound of weapons clashing. "But it's not like hunting a beast, but I'm afraid that someone will fight because of the hunt?" Jiang Hyun muttered, then found a flat and easy place, and slowly climbed the southern hillside.
Climbed to the top of the hill and looked down, but it was terrible, where was the two groups of people competing for prey at the bottom of the mountain col, but a small team of halberders and a group of dead soldiers who did not know where they came from were killed with real knives and guns. The unknown dead soldiers had different blades, and they all seemed to be light swordsmen, not only did they have an advantage in numbers, twenty or thirty people either besieged or held the commanding heights and critical intersections, but they were all fierce and brave and difficult to bear. The most difficult thing to deal with is that there are three or four of them holding crossbows, bows and arrows are easy to obtain, and crossbows are difficult to find, and I don't know what the origin of this pair of dead men is. The remaining three or four halberders carried a large oar, protecting a young man and fighting and retreating, but they were outnumbered, and it would not be long before they were all wiped out.
Jiang Xun looked at the young man, he couldn't see his appearance clearly from a distance, but he could be guarded by the halberd Lang, and he must be a disciple of the Han family. He Jin is responsible for the vigilance on the periphery of Guangcheng Yuan, if a child of the clan is killed here, then He Jin will be to blame, and he needs to rescue the young man.
When hunting on horseback, long weapons got in the way, so the long sword and hunting spear were all in Jing Wei's place, and Jiang Xun was only equipped with a ring-headed knife that was less than three feet. But the situation was critical, and Jiang Hyun couldn't take care of it, so he scattered his horses, bent his bow and arrows, and rushed down.
