Chapter 614: The Heart of Killing
Li Xuanji is very proud today. Just now, he shot a colorful tiger with his own hands. Become the first warrior to hunt tigers in the hunting grounds.
As an imperial general, you are not only brave and invincible on the battlefield, but more importantly, you must be able to show your majesty when the emperor needs it.
Since ancient times, shooting tigers and slaughtering bears has been a symbol of warriors. Hunting a king of beasts is not so easy to do.
The emperors of the Han Dynasty were both civil and military, and their interests in horse archery and paddock hunting were all similar in one line. Several emperors have a record of shooting tigers, and although there is a lot of moisture in them, it is enough to show their admiration for bravery.
Every royal hunt, for the emperor, is not only a relaxing activity, but also a game to investigate the brave people in the court. For those who come out on top, there is a great reward, and there will be special awards, and the glory is extraordinary.
And killing the tiger is undoubtedly the most important symbol of this. Emperor Liu Che had already issued an order that in the enclosure of Shanglin Garden, the first person who could shoot a tiger would be rewarded with ten thousand gold and given imperial bows and arrows.
The abundance of the reward is secondary, and this glory of the past is rare and enthusiastic.
The tiger in the mountains of Zhongnan is extremely fierce. The Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest is extraordinary, ordinary people don't want to kill it, they will probably be scared to their legs when they hear that sound. Even the horses that charge into battle on the battlefield will tremble when they hear the sound of the tiger's roar.
I don't know if it was Li Xuanji's luck, or because he had been comforted by the emperor's warm words earlier and became extraordinarily brave, when a huge colorful tiger jumped out of the grass and bit several soldiers to continue to wield power, Li Xuanji, who was a few feet away, did not hesitate to fire three arrows in a row, shooting him dead.
When the Son of Heaven heard the news, he was very happy. Li Xuanji was the first to win the tiger in such a short period of time, and he really lived up to his expectations of him. Remembering that last night the gentle villagers had personally promised Li Wanyu to use her brother more seriously, Liu Che immediately asked Li Xuanji to be summoned to the horse and gave the royal treasure carving bow and golden loquat arrows to him.
In the limelight, this kind of glory is extraordinary. Li Xuanji dismounted and knelt down, offered the tiger in front of the car, and then received a bow and arrow, and raised it above his head. Long live the surrounding soldiers' mountains, and admire!
General Hu Chenghou Jiumen, who remounted his horse and galloped towards the hunting ground, looked around, the mountains and forests rose and fell and roared, just like the waves in his heart. Bow and arrow in hand, impassioned.
What are the consequences of a person's ambition if it is infinitely great? It's nothing more than two, more crazy to the peak, or suddenly broken and falling into hell......!
It was in this state of mind that Li Xuanji led dozens of his followers around in a big circle, passed by Huo Quai, who didn't know what to think on horseback, and then said something he didn't think would cause any serious consequences.
If Li Xuanji could have predicted what would happen next, would he still be so inflated? He probably wouldn't have imagined that there was an emotion in this world that could never be joked about.
It's just a sarcastic remark to vent anger...... However, the anger that had just been suppressed by the emperor with his authority was rekindled, and it was uncontrollable, and finally became a flame!
The emperor's attitude towards Li Xuanji made his henchmen and generals follow their generals, and everyone was excited, as if they had seen their glorious future in advance. There are also many ministers of the DPRK and China who are accompanying them, and their hearts are fluctuating, and when they look at the prince who does not have much brilliance, there are inevitably many other ideas quietly sprouting.
The hunting ground is like a battlefield, and the battlefield and the court are ...... At the beginning of the autumn wind, the killing aura gradually darkened into the grass and wood marrow, no one saw it, and in the depths of the lush long grass, someone gently pulled out the sword, and the murderous aura rose to the sky!
Li Xuanji, who shot a tiger, really wanted to find some big prey, and the icing on the cake was a great event in life. In the immediate vicinity, the ferocious beasts had already fled far away, chased by the hunters on horseback, leaving only small animals such as elk and rabbits to hide for their lives. This no longer interested him.
Maybe further afield, with dense mountains and forests, there will be unexpected gains. The high-spirited Golden Armor General rode away, he wanted to capture a fire fox with good fur so that he could send it to the Jade Palace for his sister-in-law. Winter is coming soon, and Li Wanyu, who wears a firefox shawl in the snow, will surely be more favored by the Son of Heaven. If you are lucky enough to be able to hunt a bear, give it to the little prince and bless him with warmth and safety...... Until you sit on that throne!
The horse's hooves were fast, and Li Xuanji and his entourage, who had unconsciously run out of a range of dozens of miles, although they also found many startled beasts, but none of them were what he wanted.
Suddenly raised his head, the mountains and forests in front of him were stacked, the momentum was magnificent, his heart moved, and he knew from experience that there must be a fierce beast here!
Li Xuanji ordered his subordinates to spread out the formation and send arrows from all sides to alarm, so that the beasts hiding in the mountains and forests could appear from his direction, and he drew his bow and arrows, while vigilantly observing the surroundings, while riding his horse slowly.
The mountains and forests are dense, the rocks are craggy, and some people have been waiting here for a long time!
Huo Quzhi, who was tightly tied up, was hidden in the middle of the tree trunk, and the injury on her right arm had not healed, and she could not draw a bow and arrow. Therefore, he gave up his original plan to shoot Li Xuanji in the back with an arrow. After all, there is only one such opportunity, and she must cleanly kill the Nine Gate Generals, who is being favored by the emperor, so as not to cause endless trouble for her master.
The grudges in this world, killing each other, and hurting several times...... She can live with it. There is only one thing, no one can mention half a sentence! The feelings she has for the Master in her heart are known only to him. No one in this world is qualified to judge half a point.
Blood from the wounds oozed out again, and several of the wounds were actually very deep. Compared with these, what was a little annoying in her heart was the inexplicable sourness that swelled up. Thinking of the scene she saw sneaking out of Master's window last night, she was ashamed, annoyed, and curious...... I can't even tell myself what it feels like.
He and Sister Lingzhi finally ...... This was something that could have been expected a long time ago, but she still had a huge loss.
There was movement not far away, and her original name was "Bing'er", and she retracted her messy emotions. If you don't feel good in your heart, go and unlucky your enemies! This is what Master once said. She has to do more, she is not to make the offended enemies unlucky, but to prepare them to die!
More than forty Nine Men cavalry followed their general here, and stepped into the edge of the mountain forest, thinking that they would be full of rewards. However, in the next moment, the wind swept through the forest and frightened countless birds, and the hidden killers fell from the sky...... Blood splashes, grass and trees dyed red!
The prey that Emperor Liu Che personally shot was very impressive. Together with the harvest of the ministers and generals, in the interval of rest, the guards of the Yulin Army were arranged in the open space. Heaped like hills.
It's only been half a day's work, and I've hit so many prey. The mood was very high. Although the emperor rode the horse for half a day, he did not feel tired at all. He walked around with great interest, chatting and laughing loudly with his close ministers from time to time, and praising each other, at this moment, there was not much dignity of the emperor at all, and he was approachable, which was very rare.
Many courtiers were praised by him, and there is no need to mention all kinds of casual rewards. In these matters, the emperor has always been generous, and everyone is accustomed to it. The voice of gratitude is endless.
In such a hunting scene, there are naturally very few people who are empty-handed. Even Dong Yan personally shot a few birds and asked for credit in front of the emperor, not to mention Han Yan, Jiang Chong, and Feng Yanzhi.
The only exception is the crown prince Liu Ju. He didn't kill himself, and he didn't let the retinue of the East Palace kill too much. The few gains are a bit abrupt in this.
"Why doesn't the prince gain anything today?"
The Emperor turned his head to look at it, and the smile on his face did not diminish, as if he had just asked casually. Feeling everyone's gaze, Liu Ju, who had been thinking about it, hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed down to answer.
"Father, my son has been a little tired since he returned from the grassland, so he has been slacking off on the bow horse recently...... Please forgive me! ”
"Oh? Is that really the case? I think there are other reasons! ”
There was a hint of inexplicability on the emperor's face. Yuan Zhao, who was summoned by him at the same time, sighed secretly. He knew that the prince, an honest boy, would not be surprised by his next answer. Sure enough, when the crown prince Liu Ju saw the emperor asking, he thought about it and decided to answer his true thoughts truthfully.
"If the father really wants to ask the reason, the son will not dare to hide it. Erchen once saw the sigh of the ancients in poetry books, 'Birds and beasts are ignorant and sentimental'! Therefore, the retainers tried their best to order their subordinates not to easily injure their ......lives if they were not necessary. ”
The prince's words were very sincere, and it could be seen that this was really what he thought in his heart. After a moment of silence, the Emperor nodded and patted him on the shoulder.
"My son is merciful! …… Ha ha! Well, in the future, I will read more books and understand more truths...... ”
After the crown prince Liu Ju thanked him, he stepped aside. He really wanted to ask Yuan Zhao, who was standing beside him, if he said what he thought in his heart, his father should not be unhappy, right? However, after thinking about it, I finally held back. They have all grown up, and they are no longer the children who followed him back then and had to give him ideas about everything.
He has been a prince for more than ten years, understands government affairs, and goes out with the army...... After a few temperings, there are some things that should have been decided by yourself.
"Yuan Qing didn't make a move today, right? Haha, that's understandable. You have seen a lot of big scenes of thousands of troops, and the small hunting ground of Shanglinyuan is not in your eyes. ”
Seeing the emperor's joking tone, Yuan Zhao naturally laughed too.
His Majesty laughed...... Hehe! ”
"By the way, what about Huo Quai? Why hasn't that disciple of yours seen it all this time? ”
The emperor finally realized that it seemed that he hadn't seen Huo Quai's shadow for a long time.
