Chapter 60: Hunting (1)
When the little palace maid saw his appearance, the little one suddenly became shy, and lowered her head to hold the corner of her clothes: "Prince Huai'an said that it was funny, if you don't leave here, the slave and the maid can't drive you away, but it's the fault of the little master's sweetheart that the prince is not the prince or the slave, so ...... The prince can't force the slave to tell who that person is. ”
Looking at this red-faced little palace maid, Yun Yichen was playful: "If you don't say it, then I will really be here, are you willing to stay here with me all the time?" Anyway, this king is a well-known idler, and it is a beautiful thing to be able to enjoy the flowers and see the moon with the young lady here, and then wait for the Yingying girl. Don't you say that this king is really waiting here? ”
The little palace maid was said to be full of delicate faces, if it weren't for the queen seeing that Xu Yingying had already left her East Palace from another way, and sent another palace maid to ask him back, he might have really fallen in love with the little palace maid.
Because even if the little palace maid didn't say it, he knew who Xu Yingying was thinking about.
Just because that person's birth was nobler than herself, and her title was higher than herself, Xu Yingying has never forgotten him since she was a child.
That person is Yun Yizhou, the second son of Xu Guifei.
If it weren't for Empress Xu's favor in front of the emperor, he would be the one who took over the position of Prince Yun Yixuan at this moment!
Although he is not very old, he has a smart mind and a steady temperament since he was a child, and he is the most respected prince of all the princes.
Because his mother and the imperial aunt lost the competition for favor, he was also implicated, and the position of the crown prince was actually given by the little prince who was several years younger than him!
This made Yun Yizhou very depressed, but he couldn't show it.
I can only study the scriptures more diligently, practice martial arts diligently, and think that one day I will get ahead with my own ability!
Therefore, Yun Yizhou is the most qualified heir to the throne in the eyes of everyone, and even the crown prince who is now pinned on by the emperor and queen is not as good as him.
Therefore, Yun Yichen didn't feel that he was in a panic, he was not as good as him, he knew that the reason why he was so infatuated was just that he couldn't give up the obsession he had with Xu Yingying since he was a child.
Out of the garden, Queen Xu had already abandoned the embroidery in her hand, sat on her soft floor and looked at him with a smile: "If it weren't for Yingying being the most beloved niece of the Mourning family, the Mourning family would be willing to match her with King Huai'an!" It's just that King Huai'an also knows that the mourning family can't help Yingying's heart. But...... The mourning family has a saying that I want to mention to King Huai'an, Yingying is the only daughter of the elder brother of the mourning family, and she has listened to her father's words the most since she was a child. Besides, if you can really impress the elder brother of the mourning family on the battlefield, won't you have a long face in front of the emperor? When your status is improved, the mourning family will say a few kind words for you in front of your brother, and mention the things you admire so much, maybe it is not impossible for your brother to marry Yingying to you as soon as he is happy, right? ”
Yun Yichen felt that what Queen Xu said was reasonable, and hurriedly thanked him and left the queen's bedroom.
Therefore, he went to the frontier this time, and there was a more important task, which was to behave well in front of Xu Zekun, make him look at him with admiration, and then wait for an opportunity to beg him to marry his daughter!
Yun Pengfei knew his purpose and admired his determination, saying that he had taken a fancy to a girl since he was a child, and he still remembered her after more than ten years, he was really a kind of love for the world!
He doesn't know if he is reluctant, he only knows that the woman he likes can't fall into the hands of others no matter what, this is the only principle of his life!
This is why he has a strong interest in this expedition, he must win the battle, he must show his face in front of the emperor, and he must show his face in front of Xu Zekun! Otherwise, his position as a concubine will be vacant, and it will be very shameless!
The two of them came out of the Zen courtyard, and there were already attendants who led the horses.
Just because the eldest prince was unwilling to go up the mountain to select monks and soldiers, the two of them had to come here to do this hard-working thing!
Of course, it can't be said that it is completely hard-working, at least when you come here, you can go around the nearby mountains and forests to see if there is any prey that can be hunted?
You know, they're the best at hunting and traveling.
Among the other dozen princes, he liked this kind of thing the most.
Hunting, bird hunting, and catching animals are really exciting.
Although the air in the mountains is very fresh, because it is just after noon at this moment, the sun is in full swing, and the whole mountain forest has a smell of being burned!
This made Yun Pengfei, who was more fat than when he was a child, once again propose to go back to the temple to escape the heat because of the endless sweat, he was afraid that he would suffer from heat stroke!
In the end, Yun Yichen couldn't stand Yun Pengfei's bitter pleading, so he had to go back to the temple, and the two stayed in the meditation room for an afternoon.
The vegetarian food in the temple is a little more delicious than Yun Yichen imagined, but for Yun Pengfei, who only eats meat dishes, this kind of clear soup and little water meal here is indeed difficult for him to swallow.
Because they had to choose monks the next morning, the two had to rest early.
The next day, before dawn, the abbot knocked on their door.
It is said that all the warrior monks in the temple are already waiting for the drill in the courtyard, and they are invited to come and check.
The two of them came to the courtyard sleepy-eyed, and the abbot gave an order, and those warrior monks put on a posture and began to practice.
In just two hours, the two of them picked out all the warrior monks who seemed to be full of spirit.
"May I ask the abbot, are these the only warrior monks in your temple? Are there no other monks who can do martial arts? Yun Yichen looked at the warrior monks who had been selected and asked.
I don't know what's wrong, I always feel that I am not very satisfied, although these people say that there is no shortage of martial arts masters, but compared to the prestige of Linggu Temple, it seems that it is a little unworthy of the name.
The absence of a single outstanding warrior monk seems a little unconscionable.
"Back to the prince of Huai'an, there is an outer courtyard in this temple, which is full of lay disciples, just because the emperor's holy decree does not mention lay disciples, so this temple does not dare to rashly let the prince choose from the lay disciples, so ...... Buddhist disciples, these are all of them! The abbot wiped his sweat and said.
Because lay disciples all have families and homes, the temple does not dare to make decisions and send them to the battlefield.
It's just that the abbot looked at Yun Yichen and seemed to suspect that the rest of the warrior monks were hidden in their temple, so he had no choice but to say so.
You must know that some warrior monks are reluctant to send them to the battlefield, even the old abbot is reluctant.
It is said that if it is sent to the battlefield, even making them vulgar will make their elders feel painful. Therefore, they must not be handed over.
As soon as Yun Yichen heard that the abbot said that there were still lay disciples, he immediately became interested, discussed with Yun Pengfei, and decided not to leave today, and to go to the outer courtyard tomorrow morning to have a look.
You must know that the army recruited by Xu Yingcheng is really old, weak, sick and disabled, eating imperial food and living a mixed life, and it is okay to get military salaries, and it is really a bit far from going into battle to fight.
No wonder they were intercepted and killed by a group of soldiers on the way to their own country, even if they didn't kill them, running all the way would make those remnants lose their ability to resist, so this expedition wanted to reach the mouth of the Min River smoothly and join the defenders smoothly, at least to ensure that they were not dizzy by ambushes on the road. There must be a vanguard force capable of winning the battle to clear the way in front so that they can safely and smoothly pass through those dangerous areas that are easy to ambush.
The most important thing in the vanguard is the brave and good soldiers, and if there are no soldiers who can attack and fight well, they will not be able to open the way for the army in front at all.
In the afternoon, the two of them went to the front yard to meet with the rest of the elders.
Knowing that Master Yuanqing, the presiding officer of Linggu Temple, was in retreat, he didn't want to disturb his cultivation, so he had to ask the abbot to take them to the back mountains to hunt.
The abbot of the council made a few words of Zen, saying that if they wanted him to accompany them to the back mountain to play, he could accompany them to play a game or two, as for hunting, their monks never killed, so they also hoped that the prince and the king of the county would find another master, and the old man would be difficult to accompany. The elder said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
