This is a lonely mountain located in the north of Gangneung Mansion fifty miles, although it is a lonely mountain, but it is the most majestic mountain within a radius of 100 miles of Gangneung Province, it is 100 zhang high, stretches for nearly five miles, although it is not as lofty as the mountain of the north, the wind and bones are steep, and it is not comparable to the side ridge of the side ridge of the mountain of the south, and the heavy rocks are stacked. But it is also long and wide, and the pillow stone gargles the stream, which has a different charm.

And there are many rare medicinal herbs in the mountains and forests, which have attracted countless medicine pickers to come to explore medicinal materials, but more than ten years ago, for some reason, there were fierce beasts such as tigers and leopards in this mountain for no reason, and more than a dozen medicine pickers died in the mouth of the beast, and since then there has been no trace of these medicine pickers.

However, because of this, it has become a good place for officials to hunt, and if you are lucky, you will catch a colorful big insect, and there are countless fatty boars and deer roe deer and other wild meat.

Since five years ago, Liu Rui has come here to hunt in summer and autumn every year, and he likes the feeling of chasing his prey, and he is even more obsessed with the indescribable physical and mental pleasure brought by the moment his arrow is aimed and pierced into the body of the prey.

The sky was slightly dark, the cool breeze was blowing, and the horse was trotting on the path between the mountains and forests, and Liu Rui, who was dressed in a bearded robe, had no words of joy on his face.

Under the crotch is a jujube red horse, like a satin quilt-like fur in the reflection of a little sunlight looks smoother, this horse is more than two feet high, and the length is almost the same, flat nose and thin neck, when walking with his head high, like a victorious general, and this is the Western Regions Hu horse that Li Chengye said that day, the authentic Dawan war horse.

Such a war horse is born with a sense of superiority, just as Liu Rui thinks of himself.

Next to him was the equally fat Liu Kuo, and Zhao Wan was riding with Liu Kuo with a timid look, and behind him were dozens of family members with arrows and bows on their waists.

Prior to this, there were already families who explored this hunting area in advance and cleared it out, not far away birds and beasts contended, and the sound of apes cried, which made people feel refreshed and happy.

Zhao Wan's expression looked a little nervous, although she was born in a farm family and often climbed mountains and mountains to dig herbs, it was the first time she had gone out hunting with such a large group of people.

This is also the first time she feels the feeling of riding on horseback, Liu Kuo's fat body occupies almost the entire horseback, which makes Zhao Wan staggering and frightened on the horseback, but she is reluctant to touch Liu Kuo, so she has to hold the straps on both sides of the horse's back tightly with both hands and dare not relax at all.

Compared with Liu Rui's excitement of being eager to try at any time, Liu Kuo didn't seem to be very interested, although he agreed to his father's request, but in his heart, he never wanted Zhao Wan to die so easily, after all, he hadn't even touched the little lady's hand.

From time to time, a few elk passed through the forest in front of him, but Liu Rui seemed to ignore this, and the horn bow in the arch pouch on his waist was never taken out.

From beginning to end, Liu Rui did not say a word to Liu Kuo, and Liu Kuo also remained silent very tacitly, not at all like the laughter and laughter before, and the atmosphere became a little dull, so stuffy that Zhao Wan was out of breath.

As it approached, a group of dozens of people was still empty-handed, and the already winding and rugged path in the mountains and forests became more and more difficult, and in the end, everyone had to walk on foot, because this place had been explored by the family in advance, so there was no need to worry about any danger, and even if there were tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts, there was nothing to take advantage of in the face of these dozens of humans armed with bows and crossbows.

Faintly, there was a sound of water flowing in front of me, murmuring in the ears, accompanied by the sound of ape cries from time to time, which made people want to explore.

Liu Rui's face finally showed a smile, a faint smile, a meaningful smile.

Zhao Wan followed closely behind a family member, although she had long been accustomed to the environment in the mountains and forests, but the strange and depressing atmosphere along the way made her feel a little uneasy, but despite this, she had a stubborn personality and never shouted a word of fear, just quietly followed everyone and walked forward with difficulty.

The path is getting narrower and narrower, this is the mountain road more than ten years ago, and at this time it is not so much a road as a gap, a gap between the trees and thorns.

After passing through this gap, the front is suddenly open, a large river as wide as several zhang appeared in front of everyone, at one end of the river the mountain was abruptly interrupted, the river rushed down to form a waterfall several zhang high, the water hit the stones of different sizes and splashed the mist, making people feel as if they were in the clouds and mist.

"Let's rest here for a while!" Liu Rui handed the reins in his hand to an attendant, and sat down with a clean stone.

Liu Kuo glanced at Zhao Wan, who was squatting beside the river to wash his hands, and then walked up to Liu Rui and whispered, "I don't know when Aya plans to do it?" ”

Liu Rui casually took off the bow bag and arrow basket on his waist, then took out the horn bow, and pulled out a feather arrow from the arrow basket.

Bending the bow and arrow, the arrow pointed directly at Zhao Wan not far away, Liu Kuo sighed softly when he saw this, but he did not look away, but always looked at Zhao Wan's back.

For he had never seen what it would be like for an arrow to pierce a man's body, was it the same as the boar or elk? Thinking of this, Liu Kuo's face was no longer tangled just now, but full of excitement and curiosity.

However, at this moment, Liu Rui suddenly lowered the horn bow in his hand, and then glanced at Liu Kuo and said, "You come!" ”

Looking at the bow and arrow handed over by his father, Liu Kuo's expression was a little dazed, and he didn't know whether to take it or not.

"People are the same as those beasts in the mountains and forests, they breathe the same breath, they eat the same food, and even the color of their blood is the same.

Liu Rui had a thick smile on his face when he said this, like encouragement and urging.

Finally, after some struggle, Liu Kuo carefully took the bow and arrow, but his hands were still a little trembling, after all, this was his first time killing.

Archery is no stranger to Liu Kuo, as early as when he was ten years old, he often followed his father to hunt, killed wild boars, killed elk, and even once shot a leopard, but Liu Kuo never felt afraid.

And at this moment, Liu Kuo was really scared, not only because of murder, but also because he couldn't get over the obstacle in his heart.

"Killing people is not just to kill people, but more to save yourself when the time comes, if you don't kill people, you will die, do you kill or not?"

"Only hard-hearted people can achieve great things, and can control the life and death of others in their own hands, rather than others controlling their own life and death!"

Liu Rui looked into the distance and said slowly, it was for Liu Kuo and for himself.

On the road of chasing power, Liu Rui doesn't care about killing people, nor does he care about the dead, and it doesn't even matter if he sacrifices the people around him when necessary.

Power is Liu Rui's lifelong dream, he will never allow anyone to block this road, if there is, then the other party will face his most cruel revenge.

At this moment, Liu Kuo suddenly found that Zhao Wan was looking at him coldly not far away, and sweat instantly trickled down from Liu Kuo's forehead.
