"Shhhh

Zhao Hongrun hurriedly signaled to the sixth uncle to whisper, after all, according to the rules, Princess Yulong, Mi Jiang, and Mi Rui are not allowed to join the hunting team, after all, in the customs of the Wei people, hunting is a man's romance and entertainment to show a man's temperament.

This is completely different from the custom of the Yin Rong tribe, where women can also participate in hunting.

The women on the Wei side, even if they walked with the hunting team, at most they just sat in the carriage, watching the men in the team hunt prey from a distance, like Princess Yulong, Mi Jiang, and Mi Rui, and the women dressed as men were mixed among the guards, which was a violation.

It is undeniable that some rules or customs in Wei are very old-fashioned and stubborn, such as Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, because he has not yet reached the age of fifteen this year and is not qualified to go out of the pavilion, so even if he meets the world with the hunting team, he can only honestly ride the dragon chariot and stay with Wei Tianzi.

If nothing else, this kid can't leave his father's sight in this autumn hunt, except for a short period of time when Wei Tianzi went to negotiate with the Yinrong tribe.

This is the treatment of princes who have not left the cabinet, and Zhao Hongrun, who has been out of the cabinet and is crowned with the title of king, is not the same at all.

And even princes like Zhao Hongxuan must abide by this custom, not to mention the daughters of Princess Yulong, Mi Jiang, and Mi Rui.

But there is no way, who called Princess Yulong and Mi Rui insisted on participating in this grand event, and they also pulled Mi Jiang, but the little girl Yang Tongue Apricot was more well-behaved, and obediently stayed in Suwang's Mansion to take care of the family.

"......" glanced at Zhao Hongrun's slightly pleading look, and Zhao Yuanyan, the sixth uncle, did not publicize the fact that the three women were disguised as men and mixed in Zongwei, but the expression on his face was no longer as excited as when he came.

No, after a casual chat. Zhao Yuanyan took his group of guards to the front of the team.

Zhao Hongrun originally thought that this Uncle Six Kings would go with him.

"Sixth Uncle...... Looks like I really hate Yulong."

Zhao Hongrun was a little puzzled by this.

Suddenly, he heard a grumpy inquiry in his ear.

"Hongrun, Uncle Liuwang, don't you hate me very much......"

Zhao Hongrun was shocked, and subconsciously turned his head, only to find out. Princess Yulong had come to his side on horse, and asked him with a dejected expression.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun hurriedly said: "How is it possible? ”

"But ......" Princess Yulong looked up at Zhao Yuanling's departing back, and said faintly: "I always feel that Uncle Liuwang hates me very much, and it was also when we ate together in the mansion last time...... Am I doing something wrong? But I really can't remember what I did wrong to make Uncle Liuwang hate me like this. ”

Looking at her aggrieved expression, Zhao Hongrun sighed.

Of course, he didn't think that it was Princess Yulong who did something wrong that would cause the disgust of Zhao Yuanyan, the uncle of the six princes, after all, Princess Yulong had almost no contact with Zhao Yuanli in the past.

"Perhaps. It's not because of Yulong, but because of Yulong's mother...... Xiao Shuyan? Did Xiao Shuyan do anything that disgusted the sixth uncle? So that the sixth uncle was angry with this hatred on Yulong?"

Zhao Hongrun pondered in his heart.

In fact, it's not that he didn't check in this regard, but unfortunately, in the palace, "Xiao Shuyan" is no less taboo than "King Jing", and no one dares to mention the word "Xiao Shuyan" in the palace.

Moreover, Princess Yulong's mother, Xiao Shuxi, passed away more than ten years ago. Regarding Xiao Shuyan's affairs, Zhao Hongrun knows very little. Her origins, the cause of her death, and why Wei Tianzi sealed everything she had after her death and did not allow anyone to mention it have become a mystery.

After more than ten years, even if Zhao Hongrun wanted to check secretly, there was no way to investigate, after all, Xiao Shuyan seemed to have been erased. Even in the records of the Inner Chamberlain Shang Gong Bureau, the record of Xiao Shuyan has been erased.

The only one who can do this is Wei Tianzi.

Why?

Zhao Hongrun really couldn't figure it out.

He only knew that neither his father nor his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan liked Yulong. In other words, it was because he was disgusted with his mother, Xiao Shuxi, and took this hatred out of Yulong, which can explain why Wei Tianzi only had such a big prejudice against Yulong and tried to marry her to the distant state of Chu; Only in this way can we explain why Zhao Yuanyan, the uncle of the six kings, changed his face as soon as he saw Yulong.

This incident is secretly being verified by Zhao Hongrun, but unfortunately, this incident is even more troublesome than the unsolved case of "Chu Envoy Xiong Fen Attacked" last year, and it is simply impossible to investigate.

If he could, Zhao Hongrun wanted to ask the sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan, but he also understood the character of the sixth uncle, and no one could dig anything out of his mouth if he didn't want to talk about it, and neither could he, Zhao Hongrun.

And right now, the only thing Zhao Hongrun can do is to coax Princess Yulong in good faith and tell her that Zhao Yuanyan, the sixth uncle, does not have any prejudices against him.

It's a pity that even Zhao Hongrun himself can't convince these words, let alone Princess Yulong, who seems to be very arrogant but is actually delicate in her heart.

"Please."

Zhao Hongrun saw that the horse came to Mi Jiang's side and entrusted this matter to Mi Jiang.

"......" Mi Jiang glanced at Princess Yulong, who was whispering something to her sister Mi Rui, with a depressed face, and nodded slightly.

I don't know when the two had an incredible tacit understanding.

For example, sometimes, Zhao Hongrun said very vaguely, but Mi Jiang could still understand the real meaning he wanted to express.

It's like the so-called heart has a soul.

But admittedly, the feeling is quite subtle.

On that day, the hunting team set up camp about 34 miles west of Daliang, and the tiger soldiers who were responsible for the protection along the way began to set up camp and set up tents.

The Tiger Army, to be precise, is the "Tiger Guard", this is a special elite army belonging to the Praetorian Guard, it is not responsible for the palace guard, only responsible for serving as a guard and honor guard during Wei Tianzi's patrol, the number is not much, about five or six hundred, although Zhao Hongrun does not know how effective this army is, but the weapons and equipment of this army, it is undeniable that it is also a level of "six battalions of the garrison". After all, this is the Son of Heaven's guard.

At the same time that the Tiger Ben Praetorian Guard was encamped, some young people in the autumn hunting team couldn't hold back, and the sons of those clans took their generals and guards to hunt one after another.

During this period, Zhao Hongrun also saw Zhao Chengxiu, the son of the king of Yuanyang, who had met twice, and he suddenly realized. It turned out that during the autumn hunt, the sons of these kings were also on the hunting list.

"Your Highness, let's go hunting too."

It may be that seeing that more and more people have successfully hunted good prey, Zong Wei Mu Qing was also a little impatient, and frequently urged Zhao Hongrun.

However, Zhao Hongrun was not in a hurry, and while tidying up his sleeping bunk, he said casually: "What's the hurry?" It's not Zhongyang yet. ”

Yes, the real hunting ground is in the mountains and forests around Zhongmu, Zhongyang and Yangwu. There, the imperial court had already sent people to set up a paddock in advance, and sent troops to drive a large number of prey to the paddock, where the prey was called abundant, and as for now, at most, it was just an appetizer before the main meal, and only those who couldn't bear it would be when the team set up camp. Sneak out hunting with the guards.

But then again, the mountain forest paddocks in the areas of Zhongmu, Zhongyang, and Yangwu. In fact, it is not the real hunting place in Zhao Hongrun's mind.

He had already heard Zhao Yuanlian, the uncle of the six kings, reveal that this hunt was probably divided into two links, the first link was of course a normal royal hunting activity, which was the same as in previous years, hunting wild animals in the mountains and forests in the three counties of Zhongmu, Zhongyang and Yangwu.

The team that Zhao Hongrun is in at the moment. The vast majority of them, such as those who wish to climb into royal connections, hunt here.

Or rather, "inexplicably" "abandoned" by a large team while hunting.

And during this period, Wei Tianzi will take a small group of people to Chenggao Pass. In the wilderness outside Chenggao Pass, he came into contact with the leader of the Yinrong tribe or the envoy on behalf of the tribe to negotiate the matter of "borrowing the way".

In the "hunting ground" outside Chenggao Pass, that is the hunting place that Zhao Hongrun yearns for.

The next day, the large team arrived at the paddocks in the areas of Zhongmu, Zhongyang, and Yangwu.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun was surprised to find that the person in charge of the safety of this paddock was actually the Zongwei Yulin Army of the Zongfu.

I have to say that as soon as they arrived at the paddock, the sons and brothers of those clans, including Zhao Chengxiu, the son of the former Yang King, and other princes of the king, rushed to the paddock with their respective guards like a flood of the sluice.

Unexpectedly, Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, was also among them, but his expression didn't look so happy.

"Hmm, it seems that my father intended to let the East Palace stay in the enclosure here to appease those who were "abandoned......

Zhao Hongrun thought about it and guessed the reason.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Wei Tianzi changed to a horse, and without making a noise, under the protection of the Tiger Ben Guard, he went in the direction of Chenggao Pass.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuanyan, the sixth uncle, sent someone to inform Zhao Hongrun in advance, otherwise, I am afraid that even Zhao Hongrun and his party would have been left in the paddock in the Zhongyang area.

At this time, the team was far less than half when they set out from Daliang, except for Wei Tianzi and about 600 tiger guards, there were only six uncles Zhao Yuanyan, Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, and some officials of the Ministry of Rites, as well as Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi, two Zhongshu ministers, and a few people.

The vast majority of people were left in the paddock in Zhongyang, including Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Zhao Hongxuan.

However, Zhao Hongrun is not worried about this, after all, the enclosure in the Zhongyang area is protected by the Yulin Army of the Zong Mansion, which is not inferior to Shen Yu and the others.

In contrast, Zhao Hongrun was more worried about hunting with the Yinrong tribe during the Chenggao hunting period.

On July 7, the team led by Wei Tianzi finally arrived at the foot of Xibi Mountain, near 20 miles west of Chenggao Pass.

There, the patriarchs and envoys of the Yin Rong tribe who had been invited had already set up a camp together.

"That's a lot of people......

Just by glancing at it from a distance, Zhao Hongrun already felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

Although Chenggao Pass is only twenty miles away from here, and it is almost possible to send troops in the morning and arrive for assistance in the afternoon, even so, it still can't dispel the inexplicable bad premonition in Zhao Hongrun's heart.

"This is a hunting, I'm afraid something will happen."

Intuition led him to judge so. (To be continued.) )
