Shaoling Plain, more than 50 miles south of Chang'an, the hills and plains are undulating, the grass and trees breed, the birds and beasts are raised, it is just a good place to let the horses gallop away, set up eagles and dogs, ride and shoot and hunt.

Li Shimin is a son of heaven, at the moment, he is dressed in a military uniform, draped, heroic, and has a kind of fierce spirit that exudes from his bones, and he is by no means an empty shelf supported by only a good set of clothes.

A treasure knife on his waist, a longbow and arrow pot on his back, Li Shimin also held an extremely fierce golden eagle on his arm, sent it upward, the golden eagle screamed, flapped its wings, rushed straight into the sky, circled in the air, and suddenly spread its wings to the left front, Li Shimin kicked the stirrup with both feet, and chased after the horse.

Behind the emperor, the queen, the crown prince, several favored concubines, some favored princes, princesses, and several civil and military ministers were also dressed in military uniforms, and they chased after them quickly.

The Turkic Jieli Khan was also invited, but when the Great Khan galloped across the desert steppe, he was the absolute protagonist, the core of the stars and the moon. Although he also accepted his fate after being a public servant in Chang'an, at this moment, how could he not have imagined that he was in power and looked down on the majesty of the world.

Therefore, Jieli Khan was not in high spirits, and he didn't want the people next to him to notice, so he had to cheer up and ride his horse to follow, but he didn't mean to touch the bow and arrow at all.

Autumn hunting, this is a rule set from the time of Xia Shang. In the spring, everything recovers, and most of the birds and beasts are in estrus, so they are not hunting at this time, otherwise it is an unkind move and hinders the way of nature, so it is not until the autumn is high and cool, there are rules for autumn hunting.

Yesterday afternoon, 9,000 officers and men surrounded the designated hunting grounds, and notified several towns within the hunting grounds, including some hunters living in the wild, compensated them with some money, and forbade them to go out and move around today.

The emperor rode his horse in front, followed by the emperor's relatives and princes, and the wing-shaped wings of the guards in bright armor were on the side, and Li Yu ......

Li Yu was on the far other side, and there were drummers in the army, but it was not enough to use them for hunting, so the people of the Propaganda Department were also able to use them to take charge of the entire hunting ground.

What they do is to beat gongs and drums, without any music theory or technical content, the noisier you beat, the better, so as to frighten those animals, force them to panic and flee in the opposite direction of the noise, while the animals driven by the sound of drums from several directions can only flee to the side of the net, which is where the Son of Heaven is.

However, the sound of drums can be noisy, but the queue of the crowd must be neat, and those who walk unevenly, are messy in front and back, or even do not respond well, will be fined for a month. When marching around, whether it is a bush or a reed pond, you must move forward as if you were on the battlefield, and you must not retreat, otherwise you will be punished.

So, as you can see, Li Yu walked straight out of the bushes with a gong, and was swept back by the low branches of his body and feet......

And Li Yu separated by the satisfaction of twelve people, then walked in a puddle of mud, still did not dare to walk slowly, let alone avoid some dry puddles around, after coming out, the boots were pasted with thick mud, and suddenly more than three times heavier, and he could only walk extra hard, stepping hard, hoping to shake the mud off.

"Stand still, stop the fun!"

Today's commanders are all soldiers, only to hear a loud roar, Li Yu and the others subconsciously stood and stopped the instrument in their hands. Xiangxin just lifted one foot high, and the whole body froze there, stunned for a while, and then slowly put it down.

At this time, they happened to walk to a hill, a relatively high place, and when they looked into the distance, they saw a group of knights galloping on horseback, looking at the number of banners and guards, it was clear that they were leading all the civil and military ministers today.

Li Shimin took the lead, stretched out his bow and arrows, and was rushing to the front, and there was an impala in front of him, rushing in a panic.

"Wow! The Son of Heaven is heroic, this antelope must not be able to escape! ”

"Rush so fast!"

"Whoosh!"

An arrow was fired, but the impala suddenly turned around, and ran towards Li Yu and them in a panic, and the arrow shot five steps in front of the impala that he had been rushing to. There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone was a little overwhelmed. At this time, Li Shimin had already turned his horse to chase this side, and the escort army behind him drew an arc shape wrapped around the emperor's relatives and relatives, and also rushed over to this side.

"Drums and trumpets in unison!"

Another sergeant shouted loudly and motioned for the people to play the drums and trumpets to scare the impala back. Li Yu and the others hurriedly played drum music again. But they stood where they were, but they did not dare to move.

Seeing that the impala was getting closer and closer, and His Majesty the Emperor was chasing closer and closer, the bow in his hand had been raised, Li Yu subconsciously grabbed the gong, and the mallet in the other hand seemed to be knocking, for fear that Li Shimin's hand would slip, and an arrow would be thrown out of his hand and shot at them by mistake.

"Whoosh!"

Another arrow came, and the impala seemed to be frightened, but the sound of the drums did not affect it, and it was still running forward, and the arrow hit the back of its neck accurately, and the impala screamed, rolled forward a few turns, and fell on the slope, still whimpering.

This hunting ground was relatively flat, and although it was overgrown with weeds, it was clear at a glance on horseback, so those officers and soldiers did not chase too closely, for fear of disturbing the emperor's interest. At this time, when the emperor shot the impala, the princes, ministers and guards all stopped and cheered loudly.

Li Shimin laughed, put away his bow, shook the reins of the horse, and continued to gallop forward, watching his momentum-gathering movements, with the help of superb equestrian skills, he directly picked up the impala from the ground.

The drum music also stopped, and Li Yu and the other musicians, under the command of the sergeant holding the flag, all stood in place, watching the emperor run closer and closer, and the impala, whimpering, was just down the slope at their feet, no more than thirty paces away from them.

On the slope, there was a pair of keen eyes hidden in the grass of Tibet, seeing the Son of Heaven riding a horse, those eyes became sharper and sharper, and a pair of white eyebrows were slowly raised nervously. The bow that was close to the ground slowly raised an angle, and an arrow landed on the string.

The sun shone on the tip of the arrow, and the tip of the arrow was blue, obviously quenched with poison.

Poison on arrows is actually not common, because the poison on the tip of the arrow is less useful, and the cost of poison refining is also very high, no army can afford such a large expense, but if it is used for assassination, and the target is the emperor, then no matter how high the price is, it is worth it, this is obviously the situation at the moment.

Seeing that the impala had been shot to death, Li Yu, who was holding the gong as a shield, had already put down the gong, and was ready to wait for the emperor to pick up the impala, and immediately applauded and applauded. At this time, there was a bright light in the grass.

The assassin's concealed angle was very ingenious, and from Li Shimin's direction, his existence could not be seen at all, but the reflection of this arrow when it was raised coincidentally pierced into Li Yu's eyes.

Li Yu knew this very well, so although he didn't find anything, including the figure of the assassin, he still reacted quickly and shouted: "Emperor, be careful!" ”

Just standing on the hillside, this shout, Li Shimin, who was excited, didn't hear it at all. Li Yu was in a hurry, and struck a gong with a "bang".

Li Shimin, who was galloping on his horse, heard the sound of the gong, subconsciously pulled the reins of the horse, raised his eyes to the place where the gong sounded, and at this moment, a bow sounded in the grass, and a sharp arrow suddenly shot out, shooting in front of Li Shimin's horse according to the predicted speed and direction.

And Li Shimin because he heard the sound of the gong, subconsciously pulled the reins, and the horse's speed slowed down, although it was only a very small slow, but it was able to avoid this arrow, which exploded against his forehead and burst the red tassel on his helmet and rushed into the blue sky.

Li Shimin, a general who personally led the troops to fight, reacted so quickly, at this time, where was there still a reason to sit upright and look for an opponent or to stand tall for the sake of face, as soon as he turned over, he fell to the ground from the horse, knelt on one knee, unsheathed his sword, and looked forward cautiously.

The poisonous arrow rushed through the air, drew an arc, and fell to the crowd of people who were holding their horses and waiting for the Son of Heaven to pick up the spoils, and it was the crown prince Li Chengqian who landed. He stepped forward immediately, flicked his bow, and flew the arrow, which was about to run out, and fell to the ground.

"Damn!"

The pair of white eyebrows in the grass shrugged, swished out from under the covered soil pit turf, like a tiger, pounced on Li Shimin, between the three steps, has pounced to no more than three feet, both hands raised, six willow leaf flying knives between the fingers shot out in unison, and immediately pulled out the narrow blade single knife around the waist, a force to split Huashan.

"There are assassins! Hurry up! ”

Li Yu, who was experienced in assassination, was the first to let out a loud roar, the sound shook the roof tiles, and the gong in his hand whistled, and with his roar, it circled and flew out, knocking into the back of the assassin's head. At the same time, he shamefully stepped back and cut into the second row.

It was all an instinctive reaction just now, and when the gong shot, he realized that the assassin was so fierce that even the emperor dared to kill him, and he didn't even have a weapon, so he had to protect himself!
