White water, wine too.

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, Weichen is in poor health, and he is taking medicine and quitting alcohol at the doctor's advice......"

A group of Yulin sergeants and shooters all sneered around them, and the Lord rewarded you with three or four? I really don't know how to lift!

"Ah, you're sick?" Princess Taiping was taken aback, showing a hint of anxiety on her face, and it was not easy to show herself too much in front of everyone, so she said: "Come on, take the Qiongxiang honeydew from this palace and fill Xue Shao with three cups!" ”

Xue Shao thanked him, "Her Royal Highness Princess Xie!" ”

The sergeants and shooters who did not know the reason in advance couldn't help but be shocked on the spot, and at the same time they knew it in their hearts...... Princess Taiping's treatment of Xue Shao obviously has ulterior motives, and she can't be idle!

Xue Shao drank three cups of Qiongxiang honeydew, which was probably a nectar drink prepared by the secret recipe in the palace, fragrant but not thick, sweet but not greasy, mild and mellow into the heart and spleen, and even quenched thirst.

"It's a great taste, Her Royal Highness the princess will really enjoy it!" Xue Shao praised.

"That's nature!" Princess Taiping was also in a good mood when she heard this. Thousands of clothes are worn but not sycophants, isn't this just praising her for her "taste"?

Xue Shao wiped his mouth and rode back on his horse, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you let this group of shooters compete with a group of us men to hunt, do you want to force us to bully women with men?" ”

"Hehe, if you can win, it's not too late to say this!" Princess Taiping smiled mysteriously, "No need to say more, let's go quickly!" Hongu can't wait! ”

The group set off in a majestic manner.

In addition to the hundreds of Yulin soldiers who encircled the hunting ground in advance, Princess Taiping's car also had a whole team (fifty people) of the Yulin Army ironclad guards in front of and behind her car. In the center are the eunuchs and shooters of Princess Taiping.

Linlang rode a horse and followed closely around Princess Taiping's chariot. From beginning to end, Xue Shao hadn't seen them say a word more, and they had a superfluous expression or action. The look in the sisters' eyes was exactly the same cold and indifferent, only occasionally blooming with a touch of alertness and coldness.

In the palace, there has always been Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Xue Shao relied on professional vigilance to determine that the two sisters were definitely not bad. On that day, the moon slave entered the palace and took away the golden hairpin on the head of Princess Taiping, which may have caused some uproar, but it was kept secret in the palace.

Immediately, Wu Zetian sent Linlang to be Princess Taiping's personal bodyguard.

Linlang, who was able to enter the eyes of the highest level of the imperial court center and was personally assigned by the Queen of Heaven to be Princess Taiping's personal guard, how could he be an idle person?

So Xue Shao is a little lucky now, when the moon slave broke into the palace that day, he didn't bump into Linlang, a pair of twin sisters!

Later, the centaurs entered the hunting grounds, and there was already a simple line built here. Princess Taiping entered the line and sat under the umbrella, and the hunt began.

In ancient times, hunting, especially the royal hunting, was not a group of people riding horses with bows and arrows, chasing the prey and shooting blindly, it had strict rules and routines. According to the different prey, the rules of hunting will be differentiated, including tiger enclosure, wolf enclosure, wild hunting enclosure, yellow sheep enclosure, fox enclosure, hare enclosure, pheasant enclosure and so on; Different prey enclosures vary in size, with five long enclosures, four long enclosures, three long enclosures, and so on; According to the nature of the hunt, the division of labor adopted by the people involved in the hunting is also different, including closing the encirclement, releasing the enclosure, bombing the encirclement, enclosing the encirclement, pushing the encirclement, tightening the encirclement, and so on.

It's like fighting a war in the age of cold weapons, and the royal hunt is well organized and detailed.

However, Princess Taiping came to shoot and hunt just for fun, and there was no special attention to a dozen wild hunts, so she adopted the method of tight encirclement of three long enclosures, and in a not very wide area, many small beasts were encircled, and perhaps a group of raised prey was deliberately put in, so that the two sides competed for shooting.

"Xue Shao, come here!" Princess Taiping called under the umbrella cover.

Xue Shao got off the horse and walked over, Princess Taiping said with a smile: "This palace is also the first time to come out to hunt today, and when I was leaving, I asked my father and queen mother for the regulations. The second holy word said that when the hunting side just started, it would be a competition between the riding and archery abilities of both sides. Now, you call out the two of your firemen who are the best at riding and shooting, and let's start with a round - shoot the hare! ”

Xue Shao was curious, "How to compare?" ”

"Look!" Princess Taiping pointed forward, there were already several Yulin sergeants who had come out in advance to prepare, carrying two large cages and waiting. Princess Taiping said: "When the palace gives an order, they will release the eleven hares in the cage. The riders of each team rushed into the field to shoot on horse, and whoever shot more wins! ”

"Good!"

Xue Shao agreed to return to his side, and Xue Chuyu had already selected eight flying cavalry guards to stand by.

"General Xue, please choose two guards who are good at riding and archery, and compete with the people of the princess's team." Xue Shao said.

Xue Chuyu glanced at Xue Shao lightly, and replied neither indifferently nor politely, "We are all from Yueqi." "For laymen, I am sure I don't understand what Xue Chuyu means by this. Fortunately, Xue Shao once made up for the relevant knowledge of this history, and he can be called an understanding of the structure of the Tang army. Otherwise, he would really be choked to death by Xue Chuyu's words.

Yue cavalry is one of the branches of the Tang army. As we all know, cavalry represents the highest combat effectiveness in the era of cold weapons, and Yue Cai is the elite of the Tang Dynasty cavalry, and it is a high-level military class at the top of the pyramid.

Obviously, Xue Chuyu didn't have much affection for Xue Shao, and his answer was undoubtedly saying, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Every one of us here is a Yue cavalry who is good at riding and shooting, otherwise how could he be qualified to be selected into the Yulin Guard? ”

Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "Then ask General Xue to give the order and select two soldiers to compete." ”

Xue Chuyu casually nodded among the eight sergeants behind him, "You, you, get out of the queue, prepare to ride and shoot!" ”

"Yes!" Two cavalry sergeants in gold armor and red robes stood in front of them on horseback.

The equipment of the Royal Guards is naturally top-notch. Xue Shao looked at the horses ridden by these sergeants, and none of them were worse than his own Turkic three-flowered horse; The armor is all the first Mingguang armor of the Tang Thirteen Armor, and its value is not lost to the BMW that straddles it. Even the robe on his body is also a fine splendid fabric.

Just the equipment of an ordinary sergeant of the Yulin Army is already valuable.

Xue Shao couldn't help but be a little greedy for that armor, it was really high-end and high-grade, but it was not comparable to the simple props in movies and television!

Princess Taiping under the umbrella raised her hand, and the commander beside her sounded the drum to signal the start of the hunt. The sergeant who was ready in front ripped open the cage and released the hare, and they immediately ran away.

"Attack!" Xue Chuyu drank in a deep voice, and the two horses lined up in front of him suddenly started like lightning and rushed forward.

For cavalry, the most profound combat skill is "mounted archery".

First of all, archery is not so easy to practice, and it is not easy to loosen your hands on the back of a galloping undulating horse. If you want to combine the two, it is of course more difficult to shoot a bow with both hands on the back of a galloping horse.

Therefore, Yue Cai is an elite cavalry that is one in a thousand.

There is an idiom called "moving like a rabbit" is to describe dexterity and speed, it can be seen that rabbits are running all over the ground is really difficult to catch.

To hit such a small target as a running rabbit with a bow with both hands on the back of a galloping horse, what is that not a "stunt"?

The two knights of the Yulin Army rushed away, but there was no movement on Princess Taiping's side. The sergeant took obedience as his duty, and since he had already attacked, there was no reason to pause and hesitate, and ran a little closer to the two of them to shoot their bows together, but they both failed.

No one laughs.

There are very few people who guarantee that such a small rabbit will be able to ride and shoot, and occasional mistakes are like missing long-range shots, which is normal.

The two sergeants were not discouraged, and Le Ma adjusted his position and shot arrows from his bow again, this time hitting a rabbit.

The Yulin sergeants began to applaud.

Xue Shao watched it with relish, thinking that if I was on the field, I would be a little sure if I didn't ride a horse and just shoot with a crossbow; If it's on a horse, it's hard to say. First of all, my riding skills are not too strong, and secondly, this crossbow is also very heavy. Standing on flat ground and aiming still requires strong arm support, if it is on horseback, you have to don't want to aim.

Xue Chuyu's face sank like water, and his expression was very indifferent, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him at all.

Xue Shao stood beside him, glanced at him, and chuckled, "How does the general think they shoot?" ”

"Okay." Xue Chuyu replied lightly, ambiguous.

"What would happen if General Xue came on in person?" Xue Shao asked deliberately.

The corners of Xue Chuyu's mouth rose slightly, and he turned his head for the first time to look at Xue Shao deeply, then turned his head away without saying a word.

Everyone can see that Xue Chuyu is very arrogant.

His micro-expression told Xue Shao that he was not only arrogant, but also disdainful, and even disgusted.

Xue Shao laughed disapprerovitously, "But anyone who has the ability is so arrogant." ”

Xue Chuyu turned a deaf ear, still looking calmly ahead.

Xue Shao still smiled slightly, "But people who really have great skills are not half arrogant." ”

Xue Chuyu's thick eyebrows sank, and he turned his head to look at Xue Shao, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

Xue Shao still smiled indifferently, "For example, Ling Zun Xue Rengui." ”

Xue Chuyu's expression finally changed slightly, and he looked at Xue Shao with a slight frown, "What does Xue Gongzi mean by saying these words?" ”

"Ling Zun is also my clan uncle. I've admired his prestige all my life, and that's it. Xue Shao said indifferently.

Xue Chuyu was about to ask a question, when a sergeant shouted, "Shoot Sheng'er out of the horse!" ”

Everyone looked at the shooting range in unison.

A snow-white, white-clothed white horse, white gold carved saddle, and tiger-striped horn bow flew out like a white light.

Just one ride?

The Yulin Army sent two horsemen!.
