Chapter 1: Deer Hunting

Next Chapter

(Troubled times, hell for ordinary people, paradise for careerists - Duke of Blood's "Apocalypse of Kings.") )

In the fourth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, at the foot of a mountain in Langya County, winter went to spring, although it was already in April, but there was no "greenhouse effect" in this place, and there was no ancient modern cement city. The weather is still cold and biting. The spring breeze blew the earth green, and the long-dormant plants also woke up one after another. Lush grass is everywhere, and all kinds of wild vegetables and wild flowers are scattered among them. Green and full of infinite vitality. If you are in the south of China, it is now the season for all families and celebrities to go out and travel. In the north of China, there are no famous prostitutes and thousands of delicacies. Some only have the white bones on the side of the road and the endless blood and tears of the children of the Han family. This is an era of "people eat grass", and it is also an era of "grass eats people".

The sun gradually rose, and the sun shone on the earth. The weeds that thrive on the "corpses" on the side of the road have finally met their sanctioners. A herd of deer migrating south or north passed by. For the deer, the abundant and tender grass is obviously a hearty meal. Perhaps due to hunger, the leading stag waited for a moment to make sure that there was no danger, and then began to feast. Seeing that the leader was like this, the other deer also began to nibble on the tender grass in twos and threes, and everything was so beautiful.

There is a jungle not far to the west of the deer, the wind has not yet blown, but a few grasses are shaking, this is not windless automatic! If you walk in, you will see a small group of people hiding in the grass. The men were covered in straw camouflage, and wore rudimentary weed-made hats on their heads. The whole team lay silently on the ground, motionless. If you don't look closely, you won't find it.

"Your lord, you're right, the deer cubs are really here," a thin man said excitedly to the young man who was alone from him.

There was a "snap", and the young man had not yet answered. Between the thin man and the young man, a middle-aged man as strong as a mountain of flesh slapped him.

"Hurt ......, Uncle Zhong, what are you doing? Why hit so-and-so. The thin man hugged his head and said aggrievedly.

"Pay attention to your manners, how do you talk to the lord?" The middle-aged strong man said solemnly.

"Shut up," the young man who lay beside the middle-aged man and said nothing, whispered.

The thin man was about to argue, but when he heard the young man's voice, he suddenly froze.

"Chief Xu Tun, are you ready?" The young man asked the middle-aged man on the other side of his side.

"Don't worry, the arbiter (left) has supervised Taiping last night, and the tuntian pawns in the two towns of Sanshan take turns digging, an hour ago, a certain and Erlangjun also went to check it, absolutely deep enough, to ensure that the group of deer cubs have in and out", the tun chief named Xu Ji patted his chest and said.

Listening to Xu Ji's words, the young man nodded slightly. I still agree with the ability and attitude of my nephew and arbiter (left) (military judge and war officer). I just wanted to make sure.

The young man waited a little longer, and after confirming that the deer had completely relaxed their vigilance, he ordered softly:

"Let's get started!"

"No," the crowd next to him said softly.

After saying that, everyone quietly crawled back to their positions, quietly waiting for the time to attack.

"Raise the flag," Xu Ji commanded.

Immediately after, the people next to him erected a large red flag.

That's the signal to attack.

Suddenly, the people shouting various slogans "Oooo

The people who were lying in ambush in the dense forest south of the deer herd also rushed out one after another after receiving the signal to attack. and the people in the western jungle formed a situation of wrapping.

On the other hand, after being intimidated by the cries of humans, the deer were frightened and instinctively ran around in an attempt to escape.

The leading stag looked at the "dense" humans and rushed towards them unfriendly. He gave a long snort as if he had given an order, and then ran north without looking back. (As for why the North?) ~ There are people in the south and in the west, and the east is a big lake. If you don't go north, you're a fool to be the leader! )。

After the lead buck ran north. Not long after, the other deer heard the long howl just now, and they also followed their leader and ran north.

As we all know, the speed of deer running is much higher than that of humans, and deer running at full speed can be caught up by few animals except leopards, including humans. And in the current era, it is impossible to catch up unless you ride a horse. Of course, horseback riding doesn't always have to catch up. And once the deer enter the dense forest, it is impossible to catch up if you want to.

It was not only used in warfare, but was also widely used in hunting. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, rhinoceros and other large wild animals were captured in this way. It is used to craft rhino leather armor with incredible defensive power. (There used to be elephants and rhinos in northern China, but due to the overhunting of our ancestors and the change of the natural environment, their migration and extinction were extinct.) )

And now the young men are trying to use this method to drive the deer into the trap they have already made. At the same time, bury all the archers around the trap. To maximize the capture of deer.

After Xu Jibu rushed out, the young man didn't pay attention to the deer herd anymore, everything that should have been done had been done, and the rest could only depend on luck. Accompanied by several white-robed guards, the young man found a relatively smooth boulder and sat down. Quietly staring into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, a sigh came from the young man's mouth.

"It's been three years! I, Liu Ye, may be the worst traverser in the mix! At the beginning, the whole family was wiped out. There is a system, there is a golden finger. The other traversers are estimated to be already a state assassin, and the most disadvantaged is also a county guard, which is like he is barely a township chief. And to run around for food, alas, alas, alas, forget it, forget it....... The young man muttered in a voice that only he could hear.

After a while, Liu Ye seemed to come back to his senses and said:

"Go and call Luan Jie over."

A white-robed guard next to "Nuo" immediately ordered.

Luan Jie is the thin man just now, although Luan Jie is short and not very strong, but he is particularly good at hiding and is the scout captain of this team. And his middle father, Luan Meng, is a tiger's back, powerful and powerful, and is the commander of Liu Ye's personal guards. Both of them used to be the sons of the Liu family, but after the family was destroyed, Liu Ye asked them to change back to their original surnames. Both of them are very grateful to Liu Ye, their loyalty is very high, and they are both Liu Ye's henchmen.

Liu Ye looked at the lake intently, as if he was enjoying the scenery, but in fact, he was looking at a map that no one else could see. This is the golden finger of the traverser.

There is a small arrow at the bottom of the map that represents Liu Ye himself. Liu Ye was surrounded by a group of green dense dots that showed his own power. At the top of the map, there is a large area covered by white dots (neutral).

"Butler, come out," Liu Ye said silently in his heart.

"It's an honor to serve you, my master," a polite yet urbane voice sounded.

"Butler, can the people from the neutral forces on the hill in front find out the specific information?"

"I'm sorry master, but I can only find information within a two-kilometer radius. The area that needs to be explored is beyond the scope of my exploration. ”

"Okay!" Liu Ye said a little lost.

"Forget it, I've already sent scouts anyway. This system is a big map. Liu Ye complained secretly.

In fact, this system is quite useful, it can detect people, objects and terrain within a radius of 10 kilometers. However, information such as the number of specific people and objects will not be clear until within 2 kilometers. On the map, white is a neutral faction that does not indicate an offensive stance, red is a hostile faction, blue is an ally, and green is itself. This is also the reason why he personally escorted the grain and grass this time. In this chaotic land in the north, thousands of grains of grain and grass are enough to turn all the neutral forces red, enough to unite the forces that have been hostile for a long time. Once there was a conflict, Liu Ye didn't think that his escort team of hundreds of people would be able to protect the integrity of this batch of grain. Relying on the large map of the system, Liu Ye led the grain transport team to avoid many Han Wubao and Zhuhu tribes.

"Butler, is there any other way back around here?" Liu Ye thought for a while and said.

"Sorry master, I haven't found out yet".

"Oh"

"Master, do the neutral forces ahead need to be marked red?"

"Not yet".

"Master, Luan Jun is here"

"Okay, I see, you stand down!"

"No, the housekeeper retires" Although there is no housekeeper and no body, it can still make people think of a gentle and elegant and polite retirement figure from the words.

"Lord, Team Luan has arrived," said a white-robed guard next to him.

"Let him come!" Liu Ye slowly opened his eyes and said.

"No," the white-robed guard said.

……

"Jie to see the lord," Luan Jie saluted with a glance. There is no frivolity at all.

"Ping"

"No"

"A few deer have been found." Liu Ye asked casually.

"Twelve, but a few were shot as hedgehogs, and the fur was useless. Huo Jun's archery technique is still as exquisite as ever, and an arrow passes directly through the eyes. The arbiter (left) led people to dig a deep trap last night! None of them climbed up." Luan Jie was a little excited, dancing with his hands. After all, he was still a young man, and he revealed his prototype after just a few words.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

Luan Meng next to him was dissatisfied with Luan Jie's frivolous and faux pas, but his nephew was talking to the lord again. It's hard for me to interject, so I can only cough lightly to remind me.

I don't know if it's because of the fear of my middle father or out of respect for Liu Ye. Luan Jie's later words and deeds immediately became serious.

Liu Ye is not surprised by this, as a small clerk in the 21st century, he doesn't like this kind of very serious atmosphere. But this is ancient times, and the superior naturally has a suppressive force over the inferior. However, when the suppressive force is insufficient, it is easy to have a situation of going down and going up. The most direct manifestation of repressive power is to look at the attitude of the inferior to the superior. Or rather, the level of respect. Even if the subordinate has different intentions, he still maintains respect for the superior, which shows that the superior still has a suppressive power over the inferior. But if there is not even the most basic respect. Then it's not far from the next gram. Or the subordinate seeks his own death. So between the bottom and the top, you smile, I laugh, and everyone laughs together will not appear at all. The atmosphere on most occasions was very serious.

(Every king has a mask, and the more successful a king is, the less the world will see through it.) --Duke of Blood, "The Revelation of the King")

Luan Meng was sent by Liu Ye's dead ghost father to be Liu Ye's bodyguard at a very early age. As a guard, you must be bold and careful. For details, please refer to Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Zhou Tai and others in the Three Kingdoms. (Insert another sentence, as a fan of the Three Kingdoms, as a third-rate military general killer, Zhao Dada has always been Liu Bei's personal bodyguard, and he has hardly led troops alone in his life, and only led the road alone when he arrived at Zhuge Banxian's Northern Expedition, and he was defeated.) So Zhao Dada is just a fierce general and not a famous general. Among the Three Kingdoms, only Mei Zhoulang and * Cao and a few other people can really be regarded as famous generals. There are also the five tiger generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, Zhao Dada's official position was far lower than the other four at that time. Not even Wei Yan can compare. has followed his own Langjun for more than ten years, and Luan Meng thinks that he already knows his own Langjun very well. But since the dock fort was broken and the family was destroyed, Lang Jun seemed to be reborn. I became more and more incomprehensible. Especially the incident two years ago. Let Luan Meng become more loyal. At the same time, there is a hint of fear and fear.

The longer the family is inherited, the more rigid and mean the rules and regulations within the clan will become. As a Huainan Liu who has a history of more than 400 years and is still the former Han Dynasty, it is obvious that he has very strict requirements for etiquette, especially the etiquette of the lower to the top. Obviously, Luan Jie's frivolous behavior will not be liked. Luan Meng didn't want Luan Jie to leave a bad impression in front of Liu Ye. That's why I cough lightly.

"Are the scouts back?" Liu Ye asked.

"Not yet". Maybe it was after being reminded by his uncle that he knew that he was rude just now, Luan Jie replied very respectfully.

"When the scout comes back, he will bring it directly and report it."

"No"

"Someone". Liu Ye said:.

"Yes," a white-robed guard next to him replied with a fist clenched.

"Summoned the commanders of the tuns, the tuntian Sima. There is also Master Liu, the arbiter (left) who came to the proceedings".

As soon as "No" finished speaking, the white-robed guard turned and left.
