Chapter 14: Winter Hunting Exhibition
Gao Hongyi looked in the direction, they were obviously returning from hunting, and each sergeant had a shot of prey in his hand.
"It's old after all, and I can't run for a while!" Ma Tangfeng was surrounded by a group of Ma Jiajun and said with a smile.
Gao Hongyi noticed that the sergeant next to him was carrying pheasants and hares of different sizes, and it seemed that he had not gained much. But my father shot two fat sheep and reaped a lot of money!
"General Ma is modest, you are only in your early forties, how can you say that you are old." Gao Yuanhe said.
Father is in a good mood, it seems that his younger brother Wenlong said that his father was in a bad mood just now, he should have seen it wrong.
Gao Hongyi thought about stepping forward. "Father, it's too late for the baby."
"I've seen General Ma."
Gao Yuanhe nodded, looked at the short bow on Gao Hongyi's horseback and said with a smile: "It seems that I came prepared, and I even brought a short bow that I haven't used for a long time." ”
Gao Hongyi smiled, "In winter, the prey is too thin and runs too fast, if the child uses a longbow, I'm afraid that even a prey won't be able to shoot today." ”
"Hongyi's nephew said it well, at first glance, he often hunts, and even knows how to use a short bow in winter. It seems that the birds and beasts of this hunting ground are going to suffer today. Ahh Ma Tangfeng praised.
Ma Chuang seemed to have a different opinion, and he said with contempt: "People who have no strength play clever, real heroes, what does it matter if the long bow and short bow are played!" ”
"There are no rules, how can you speak!" Ma Tangfeng scolded, and said helplessly at Gao Yuanhe: "This kid has been straightforward since he was a child, and he doesn't know who to learn from, don't be surprised by Yuanhe's brother." ”
Although Gao Yuanhe was a little disgusted with Ma Tangfeng's father and son saying this, he was still silent and did not answer, after all, bickering was not his strong point.
"Whether it's clever or not, what Ma Gongzi said doesn't count, what Hongyi said doesn't count, what they say counts." Gao Hongyi pointed to the pile of prey and said calmly.
"Haha, Hongyi's nephew is on point, Chuang'er, people have challenged you, you can't lose the face of our Xihu Mansion!"
"Father, don't worry, the child can make no birds and beasts in this hunting ground with this longbow alone, I just hope that Uncle Gao will not feel distressed."
"Nonsense, how could your Uncle Gao, as a dignified Northern Protector General, care about this."
Gao Yuanhe sneered: "Although Ma Chuangxian's nephew has shown his skills, although my Northern Twelve Cities are not as rich as your Western Protectorate, there are still a few pheasants. ”
"Yi'er, you can't let this Ma Gongzi, he is known as the ancient 'Ma Mengqi'!"
"The child understands!" Gao Hongyi said and led people to ride horses to the mountains and forests, and the horses were not far behind, and they also rode away on horses.
Although Gao Hongyi often hunts, Ma Chuang is also a good player. I saw that he was very experienced in leading people to run around in the mountains and forests, driving those scattered birds and beasts together, and then shooting them one by one. In less than a stick of incense, Gao Hongyi saw that Ma Chuang had shot dozens of pheasants and a goat, while he had only shot a few hares on his side, and he was scary.
"It seems that this ancient 'Ma Mengqi' really deserves his reputation, but I underestimated him." Gao Hongyi thought secretly.
"Brother Li, let's go to the other side, there's nothing left here." Gao Hongyi said as he drove his horse deeper into the mountains and forests, he didn't want to lose to this proud and unbeatable horse.
Li Zhong led people to walk deep into the mountains with Gao Hongyi, but Ma Chuang also saw this and immediately followed quickly.
Ma Chuang chased after him and shouted proudly: "Gao Gongzi doesn't want to cheat, didn't he arrange someone to bring some chickens and ducks to wait for you to go over and catch them!" ”
"Haha, let Ma Gongzi worry a lot, Hongyi is not as shameless as Ma Gongzi!" Gao Hongyi sneered.
"Boy, you dare to scold me! You've got a kind! I'd like to see how many you can hunt in a moment! Ma Chuang shouted and led the people forward.
Gao Hongyi was also not to be outdone, and led a group of people to gallop in another direction, almost an hour later, the entire Houshan hunting ground was turned upside down by these two waves of people, and the sheep, hares, pheasants, and roe deer who hid from the cold were all surrounded and shot by everyone one by one.
Gao Hongyi relied on his familiarity with the hunting grounds, and he gained a lot along the way, and he caught dozens of fat sheep alone, and the whole team was almost unable to take them.
However, when he saw that there were dozens of prey caught by the arrogant horse, he couldn't help but want to scold his mother!
"This bastard is really going to kill all the prey in our hunting ground!" Li Zhong saw that they still didn't stop, and scolded angrily.
"Young master, do you want me to bring someone over to teach this group of beasts a lesson, doesn't he know that he wants to leave some breeding? Kill them all today, what will we hunt next year! ”
"Since he's a brute, what do you expect him to know!" Gao Hongyi said angrily, whispering a few words in Li Zhong's ear at the same time, and then led the people back to the camp just now. After a while, Ma Chuang also brought people back.
Ma Tangfeng saw that his son had caught so many prey, while Gao Hongyi had only caught a few goats, pheasants and hares, and he was already smiling. Gao Yuanhe's face was obviously not very good-looking, but he didn't say anything, just looked at all this in front of him indifferently.
The sergeants on the side were counting the number of their respective hunts, and in the end Ma Chuang hunted forty-nine, and Gao Hongyi hunted twenty-one.
"Cleverness is cleverness in the end, and it can't be useful when it's really time to use it!" Ma Chuang raised the longbow in his hand and sneered at Gao Hongyi, Gao Hongyi would not be provoked by him, he seemed to be waiting for something!
It was Ma Tangfeng who scolded his son to shut up, it seems that this old fox still knows whose territory he is in now.
"The ancient 'Ma Mengqi' lives up to its name, and Ma Chuangxian's nephew is a hero!" Gao Yuanhe praised without being salty, and at the same time took out a very delicate jade pendant from his arms and said, "The old man didn't bring anything good when he came out today, this jade pendant was acquired by me when I was a child, and it has been with me for many years, and I will give it to my nephew today." ”
Ma Chuang happily took the jade pendant and thanked Gao Yuanhe, while Ma Tangfeng shrewdly untied his sword and gave it to Gao Hongyi, which was an exchange. However, everyone present could see that Gao Yuanhe's jade pendant was more than a hundred times stronger than the so-called saber of Nama Tangfeng.
At that time, everyone cheered for Ma Chuang in unison, and the morale of the generals of the Northern Protectorate was not out, but Gao Hongyi looked around very calmly.
Suddenly, Gao Hongyi's eyes lit up, and he immediately bent his bow and arrow at Ma Tangfeng and shouted loudly: "General Ma, be careful!" ”
Ma Tangfeng was shocked when he heard this, and just as he didn't know what was going on, he saw a fat black bear pounce on him. Ma Tangfeng was stunned in place, and when he didn't know what to do, Gao Hongyi had already shot three arrows directly at the black bear. The black bear was hit by three arrows and still did not fall, and desperately pounced on Ma Tangfeng and Ma Chuang and others behind him.
Gao Hongyi was followed by two heavy arrows, which shot directly at the head of the black bear, and the black bear struggled for a while before falling to the ground. Gao Hongyi saw Li Zhong who came back not far away, nodded at him, and then walked to the dead black bear, pulled Ma Tangfeng up, and comforted: "General Ma, frightened!" ”
Also frightened was Ma Chuang, because the black bear came too fast just now, and Ma Chuang was happily thrown up by everyone, but the next moment the soldiers who threw him saw the black bear rushing over, and they were already frightened and ran away, so they still had to take care of picking him up. Ma Chuang was thrown to the ground hard, and he fell straight to the ground with Venus in his eyes and did not move for a long time.
Gao Hongyi walked to his side, but did not kindly help him up, but snatched the jade pendant in his hand. "Thank you Ma Gongzi for protecting Yu Pei!"
Ma Chuang almost fainted when he heard this, but he still struggled to get up, and looked at Gao Hongyi with an angry face, as if he was going to eat him raw.
Ma Tangfeng comforted him on the side and said: "Hongyi Xian's nephew killed the bear blind, according to the rules of hunting, a bear tops a hundred beasts, naturally he took the first, and he should get the jade pendant." ”
Ma Tangfeng turned to clench his fists and thanked Gao Hongyi for saving his life, Gao Hongyi smiled and said that he didn't dare, and at the same time walked to Ma Chuang's side with the sword that Ma Tangfeng gave him just now and said with a smile: "Ma Gongzi, this is what you deserve, give it to you." ”
"Despicable!" Ma Chuang scolded angrily, but Gao Hongyi couldn't hear it anymore, at this moment he was being thrown up by everyone to accept the cheers!
