On the yellow-brown tree, the green branches swayed in the wind, the monotonous cicada chirped from all directions, and in the far direction, the roaring horse's hooves shook the air, an insect that could climb the tip of the tender grass, the fox's claws pressed down from above, and the countless horses' hooves on the galloping green field turned up a line of dirt to chase after them, the cicada chirped abruptly, and a knight in hunting suit passed under the trees.

On horseback, someone pulled the bow, and the string hummed in the air.

More than ten feet away, a fox fell to the ground with a feathered arrow stuck in its back. At a certain moment, Cao Cao's voice shouted "Okay!" With a sound, next to him was Sun Zhi, the governor of the Northland, with a solemn face, and when he slowly put down his bow and arrows, his face showed a look of not anger but authority.

"Gongsun is often in the north, and his archery skills are really good."

He said with appreciation, surrounded by thousands of cavalry and soldiers are guarding, arch guards, surrounded by hundreds of officials Liu Xie is also not far to watch, for horseback riding, this young son of heaven is not proficient, but in the palace for a period of time, at this time out of the palace hunting, originally a young man, even if a little afraid of Cao Cao, but know that he has no worries about his life, seeing Gongsun stop shooting the prey, his heart is also a little eager to try.

On the periphery of the hundreds of guards, the hunting formation made Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong and other generals also feel a sense of blood gushing, and their hands itched to rub the longbow in their hands. Ahead, the two of them patted their horses and returned, and a sergeant came back with the prey, and Gongsun stopped beckoning: "Send it to Your Majesty." ”

"Yes." The guard named Wang Tu hurriedly presented the fox to Liu Xie, the son of heaven, after all, the latter came from a peasant family, although he had seen the fox, in the end he was surrounded by the guards, and his heart couldn't help but be full of ambition, and he stroked the soft fox fur with his hand, and murmured: "After I go back, I will use this fur to give it to the queen......

Over there, Gongsun Zhi turned his head to look at the back of the crowd, after Liu Bei followed back to Xudu, he was played as Yuzhou Mu, and the governance office was in Xuchang, it was basically impossible to go back to Xuzhou. Gongsun Zhi squinted, rode over, and threw the bow in his hand abruptly towards the other party: "Liu Yuzhou, Rong Ma has been good for many years, when he is good at archery, why don't you come down and hunt together?" ”

"The governor praises falsely, but he can't prepare for those who do nothing." Liu Bei took the bow and responded in a low voice.

A few steps rushed up from behind, and his voice was thick and loud: "Brother is really, the little brothers of Gongsun have come to invite, and they are still twisting and pinching, I want my Lao Zhang to say, our official has also won, and the revenge has been avenged, and now I can accompany His Majesty to hunt together, how good is this...... What to hesitate ......"

Around, Liu Xie led the ministers to continue to move forward, and Cao Cao also rode over and said with a smile: "Xuande is still afraid of offering ugliness? When I was begging for the yellow scarf, I Cao Cao had seen your heroic appearance, but now I want to bully you? ”

Seeing that he could not excuse himself, Liu Bei raised his hand and arched, so he had to pick up the longbow in his hand and walk side by side with Gongsun Zhi and Cao Cao, catching up with the emperor and his party, turning a hillside, a hare suddenly appeared in the grass, and the long-eared figure holding the bow hurriedly pulled the bow and arrow, only to hear a whoosh, and was in the middle of the running rabbit's head, and the gray fluttering body instantly fell to the ground.

"Xuande is also a good archery!" Cao Cao urged the horse forward, clapped his hands and shouted, attracting a group of civil and military officers and Liu Xie in front of him to look over, and when he saw Liu Bei riding and shooting a rabbit, he also echoed and praised a few times. Gongsun stopped hearing this, a sneer was drawn at the corner of his mouth, his hand was hooked behind his back, Li Ke nodded in understanding, and then left the horse.

Soon, a stag was deliberately driven to this side, struggling to jump in the forest, Liu Xie held the bow and felt itchy in his heart, before seeing Gongsun stop holding the bow and shooting the fox to death, and now seeing Liu Bei also shoot a rabbit, he couldn't hold back his thoughts in his heart, and turned his head to look at Cao Cao who was coming over, "Prime Minister, I also want to shoot an arrow." ”

The tone is as if asking for the other party's approval.

"Your Majesty wants to hunt and show bravery, and the minister naturally agrees." Cao Cao smiled and made a gesture of please.

On horseback, Liu Xie got the other party's approval, his face suddenly showed joy, when he clamped the horse's belly, the horse galloped up, pulled up the bowstring, and went straight to the stag, halfway and weakly fell, inserted in the soil, the deer seemed to laugh at him, but did not run, stopped in place, shook his long ears, and leaned down to nibble a handful of grass.

Liu Xie was flushed with shame, gritted his teeth and raised his bow to shoot an arrow, the arrow was nailed not far from the feet of the stag, and the deer ran away in shock. Next to him, Cao Cao turned his head to look at everyone, and rode a horse to catch up with the figure in front of him with a smile, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the ministers shoot an arrow." ”

Without waiting for Liu Xie's answer, Cao Cao took the treasure carving bow from his hand, as well as a golden arrow in the quiver, the moment he raised his arm, he pulled the bow full of strings, the strings buzzed, the arrows reflected a cold light in the sun, and flew out with a whoosh, and the back of the deer running in the middle came, and the stag fell to the ground and struggled a few times before it moved.

The soldiers chasing the stag in the distance saw that they were killed by the golden arrow, pulled out the arrow, and carried the heavy deer corpse and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty is brave-" The voice spread, and more people around shouted and shook the mountain forest.

Cao Cao turned around and returned the bow to Liu Xie, his face was a little gloomy, "Your Majesty wants to contact archery, how about teaching you in the future?" ”

"Prime Minister...... I...... I don't dare. The voice on the horseback on the opposite side weakened.

The rest of the civil and military forces were far away, and when they heard the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis, they saw Cao Cao cross the emperor's horse head as if accepting the cheers of the generals, and immediately someone was angry and blushed in the crowd, Dong Cheng shouted in a low voice: "Cao thief ......" On the other side, Guan Yu tightened the Qinglong knife, his phoenix eyes were round, looking at the back in front of him, and he was about to rush up, Liu Bei reached out and grabbed his green robe with an expressionless face, and waved his hand secretly.

The slightly raised knife edge hung down again, Danfeng's eyes closed, he turned his face and sighed, and he had to give up. After a while, Cao Cao took Liu Xie and a group of generals to continue shooting, and after dark, he held a banquet in the paddock, drank wine and ate meat with all the civil and military personnel, and then let everyone go back to the city.

All the way back to the post house, Guan Yubang pushed open the door, put the extremely heavy Qinglong Yanyue knife on the ground, turned around and looked at the figure who walked in behind him, and gritted his teeth: "Brother, I am really blind, I thought that Cao Cao was a capable minister of the Kuangfu Han family, but in the past few days, I have done several things, and in my eyes, it is really indignant, today my brother wants to get rid of this thief for His Majesty, why should I stop it." ”

After Liu Bei stood at the door and saw that there was no one outside, he cautiously closed the door and came in, comforted Guan Yu to sit down, poured another bowl of water and pushed it over: "Yun Chang knows his majesty's loyalty in his heart, but he is only relying on a moment of blood and bravery. If you kill Cao Cao, you may not be able to retreat with your whole body, he is surrounded by henchmen, guards, and Gongsun Zhi's tiger and wolf disciples patrolling around, how will Your Majesty and all the civil and military end? ”

Bang –

A punch slammed into several cases, and the water in the bowl splashed out. Guan Yu dropped his fist, gritted his teeth and glared angrily: "It's a pity that I don't get rid of him today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a chance in the future. ”

"Yun Chang, don't say such things." Liu Bei clenched his fist, "Have you forgotten that you and I still have Yide, Taoyuan Oath?" You are my brother Liu Bei's life and death tribulation, how can you die here, and the matter of removing the thief should be slowly planned. ”

"Brother......

Guan Yu gritted his teeth, but finally sighed.

Xu Tian's hunting, naturally also into the palace, at this time the night has been deep, in the imperial palace, the palace maids and eunuchs carefully shrunk their necks to stand under the eaves of the cold wind, in the dormitory, the slender figure walked around angrily, knocked down a lamppost next to him, the lights fell to the ground, extinguished, and a faint green smoke rose.

"Your Majesty, how did the concubine tell you that day......"

Fu Shou turned around, but Xingmu looked at the figure sitting on the bed with a wet red eye, "....... As a monarch, you should bully people with momentum, even if you were not a real emperor before, but now it is true, and the concubine also agrees with you, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, even Cao Apu has to agree that you are the emperor of the world...... How can you be so cowardly. ”

"But the prime minister just said that he shot and hunted on behalf of me, and there was no other transgression...... "That Liu Xie sat on the edge of the bed with low eyebrows, and said softly: "And...... That Gongsun Dudu also sent the hunted fox to Yu Zhen, right...... I've let people handle it, do you like it, queen? ”

As he spoke, he took a folded fox fur from under the pillow and was knocked to the ground by his outstretched hand at the moment when he unfolded it, and the girl who was about to go crazy shook the phoenix hairpin, and pointed at him with trembling fingers, "You...... You are really an old scalper in the field!! Can that deer shoot casually? Deer by deer...... Hunting with the Son of Heaven, how can the courtiers below shoot deer at will, he has the heart to replace him. ”

Liu Xie, who was standing in place, pursed his lips and just looked at the fox skin on the ground, slowly squatted down and picked it up, "It's okay to replace it, I'm not the emperor......

Smack-

The delicate palm suddenly flashed from the opposite side, and Queen Fu Shou stared at him with red eyes, "You put on this dragon robe of the Son of Heaven, there is no way out, do you really think that if you take the country, you will be able to die a good death?!" Delusion! ”

Gritting her teeth and saying this, the girl shook her hand weakly, took half a step back, put her hand down, turned to look at the flickering lights, "You don't count on the wood, or the concubine will carry it down." ”

Tears flowed.

……

The sky was shining.

Dong Cheng quietly looked at the stack of plain silk placed on the long case, gritted his teeth and put it in his arms, pushed open the door, looked at the blue east, and summoned his henchman servant, "Quickly go to the general prince's mansion and find him......."

Watching the servant lead the order away, he touched the secret edict hidden in his heart, and his heart surged.
