Chapter 438: Remembering the Brotherhood of the Past (Part I)
Li Qing is no stranger to this dense forest, this royal hunting area located next to the imperial tomb can be regarded as the largest dense forest on the outskirts of Chang'an, after all, in the past, the children of the clan either formally organized or privately came to this dense forest for spring hunting or winter hunting.

And Shouwang as one of the ten kings of Chang'an, naturally has the qualifications to go to this dense forest to hunt, because it is a royal hunting garden, so there are no jackals rampant, along the way, Li Qing and others saw only some non-aggressive animals, most of them are some white rabbits, sika deer, of course, there are also some wild jungle sheep.
Of course, most of these animals exist on the periphery of the dense forest, and the deeper into the jungle there are some aggressive animals such as tigers, leopards, bears, and so on.
And at this moment, there are Longwu sergeants on the left and right sides to take care of, Mo said that he didn't touch the jackal, even if he met the jackal, the elite level of the Longwu sergeant is not a problem at all, and not only that, at this moment, the children of the clan who can follow the emperor and the children of those top gate lords in Chang'an City are mostly skilled, and they are not weak, and they want to show their style in front of the emperor.
The Tang people are still martial, don't say that the children of the clan and the powerful who have been trained in the six arts since childhood, even the elegant scholars who follow the emperor to govern the country and the country are also armed with a bow and a sword, and everyone at this moment is eager to appear one or two tigers and leopards to show their style!
Thinking that the horse galloped in the depths of the dense forest for nearly half an hour, Li Longji, who was dressed in civilian clothes at the head, had a little less imperial spirit than usual, and Li Longji, who was a little more heroic, stopped his horse and stopped, raised his left hand slightly, and stopped the progress of the whole team.
At the sound of an order, the whole army stopped is the best description of the scene at this moment, although the entire team was mixed with some civil and military officials and young children of Chang'an City, but seeing Li Longji's palms raised above his shoulders, the movements of these people with good riding skills did not feel the slightest sense of delay, and they were only a step worse than the well-trained Longwu sergeants.
Everyone who stopped immediately turned their eyes to Li Longji's figure at this moment, because everyone knew that it must be a very fierce prey that could make this emperor who was undiminished stop back then, in fact, the reason why the whole team galloped quickly just now, everyone knew that most of the surrounding areas of the dense forest were some docile hares and sika deer, which could not arouse the interest of this emperor at all.
did not disappoint the people behind him, took a bow and arrow from the hand of Gao Li beside him, and then took out an arrow from the arrow basket in the hand of the little eunuch next to him, pulled the bow and wound it, and looked at the sika deer who did not seem to notice the arrival of everyone in the distance and was looking down and gnawing on the tender blades of grass.
This sika deer is huge, the two towering antlers on the head are divided into four forks, and the pitch-black back is scattered with white on the back, although it is scattered, it has a unique beauty, I am afraid this is the real reason why this deer can attract Li Longji.
For this deer, Li Qing, who is located at the front of the team, can also see it clearly, looking at the size of this deer and the antlers on the head that rise high like sharp swords, Li Qing clearly knows that this deer is a very rare male deer, compared to the female deer, the male deer has obvious characteristics: the first born with two horns, the body is huge.
And compared to the herds of deer that live in groups outside, most of the bucks live alone, earning a habitat for themselves in the wolf-infested forests on their own. Compared to the docile nature of the hind, the male deer is athletic and irritable, and the sharp antlers on their heads are their deadliest weapons.
There is no doubt that if ordinary people are hit by their pair of antlers, countless blood holes will immediately appear in their bodies, and, according to Li Qing's observation, this place can already be regarded as the depths of this royal hunting area, if they walk in it for half an hour, I am afraid it will be a real forest.
This royal hunting area was originally adjacent to the dense forest of Zhongnan Mountain in the south of Chang'an City, and originally this forest was also rampant with jackals, but since the emperor chose to open up the dense forest around this imperial tomb as the exclusive hunting area of the royal family, in order to expel the jackals, tigers and leopards in this dense forest, many Tang soldiers lost their lives and buried their bones in this dense forest.
When an arrow flew away, everyone held their breath and quietly watched whether this emperor's arrow could be hit with an arrow, although they were very confident in Li Longji's archery, but everyone clearly knew that the reason why the buck was difficult to deal with and hunt was not only because the buck was in good shape and quick to react compared to the female stag, but also because compared to the animals, the stag had a sensitive hearing and always had an innate prediction of danger.
The speed of the arrow is extremely fast, and in a short moment it has approached the distance of ten zhang around the stag, and then nine zhang, eight zhang...
The stag with a large physique raised his neck, looking at Li Longji who was not far away, a pair of deer eyes were mixed with humanized rage, and the double kick was slightly raised, looking at his appearance, if it weren't for the huge number of people in front of him at this moment, plus all of them looked very difficult to deal with, I am afraid that this stag would have raised its front hooves and attacked Li Longji to avenge the arrow just now!
Looking at the arrow not far away that was buzzing and trembling because of the shooting on the grass, Li Longji's face flashed with a look of disappointment, he grabbed the reins of the horse and looked around and said indifferently: "Sure enough, if it is not good to accept the old age, if it is changed to the past, my arrow will definitely kill this stag on the spot!" ”
And the people behind him heard His Majesty the Emperor sigh so much, and some people with flexible minds hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is too modest, Your Majesty's archery skills have not decreased back then, but this beast is too cunning, just now we can see clearly, if it weren't for this beast's quick reaction, with Your Majesty's archery skills, this stag would definitely be able to die on the spot." ”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Li Longji's face, as if he was immersed in the era when he had just ascended to the throne and swallowed the world, his mature face was mixed with a hint of pride, and he said: "Back in the day, I was heroic and heroic in the first emperor's throne, and every time I came to this dense forest with my eldest brother and several imperial brothers, I hunted countless people, and even the rare stag I hunted no less than three before and after!" ”
"It's just a pity, now that things are wrong, time is in the sea, Brother Ning and several royal brothers have left me one after another." As he spoke, a touch of sadness appeared on Li Longji's face.
Seeing the emperor's true feelings revealed, everyone around everyone was understanding, after all, most of the people present were the children of the gate valve, and they were also very envious of the feelings behind Li Longji's brothers back then, compared to the previous clan children who fought for power and power for the throne and did not hesitate to kill each other, whether Li Longji's eldest brother Ning Wang, Sui King Li Longyi and others, they all chose to endure in the face of the throne, and finally let Li Longji, who was the third in line, ascend to the throne.
