The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, he was born in a martial arts family, only because the bully in the township teased his wife, he killed him in a fit of rage, and fled to Wuwei in order to avoid the lawsuit. originally thought that he was going to live incognito for the rest of his life, but he never expected to catch up with the plan of King Su's monk.

The middle-aged man's long-extinguished ambition beat again, and his blood burned involuntarily, what can be the benefit of being a hunter? How shrewd the prey is now, faster and smarter than the hunters, sometimes after two or three days in the mountains, you can't catch a decent prey, and let your wife and children worry about life all day long, which is definitely the biggest shame for men.

And if they can be selected as a non-commissioned officer in the country, even if they are the lowest-class non-commissioned officers, they will have two stones of grain and twenty catties of meat a month, which is enough for their family to live a very nourishing and decent life.

Besides, King Su has already said that a non-commissioned officer is a national soldier, no matter what he has done before, once he is selected, he is not to blame in the past, he is the son of Emperor Laozi, with his words, after he is selected as a non-commissioned officer, even if the enemies and the people in the government want to turn over the accounts, I am afraid it is not so easy, it is better than hiding and living a lifetime.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man had already made up his mind to participate in the non-commissioned officer election, and the only thing that made him feel at ease was his son, because King Su had a clear order that once the non-commissioned officer was selected, his son should also be ready to join the army at any time. The battlefield is the most cruel and true place, and if the martial arts are sparse, unless you are lucky, you can only give the other party a head.

When the middle-aged man saw his son like this, he knew that he didn't understand his hard work at all, and his face turned pale and said with a straight face: "I'll give you three months to practice hard." Three months later, I'm still standing here, with a small iron ring on each ear and a copper coin on my head. You rushed at full speed with your gun, two shots to pick out the iron rings from my ears, and then one back to the carbine, and picked out the copper coins from my head. Remember, if you are not good at martial arts, it is likely to kill your Lao Tzu. ”

The young man was obviously shocked by his own words, he didn't understand why his father trained him in such an almost cruel way, and after half a ring, he stared at him and muttered with his mouth open, "Daddy....."

The mother of the young man who had been watching the battle next to her was also very unbearable, walked forward, gently grabbed the middle-aged man's arm, and comforted him with a kind face: "His father, the child is still young, why do you force him so much?" ”

Who knew that the middle-aged man didn't buy it, and said with a straight face: "I forced him? When he arrived on the battlefield, some people forced him! Then he flicked his robe, snorted, and strode away.

Only the boy and his mother were left standing still.

Zhu Ao has practiced riding and archery since he was a child, and gradually fell in love with riding and archery, and the ability he has gained for more than ten years of hard work naturally refuses to be wasted, so Zhu Ao is also practicing this skill very hard in his spare time, and the specific practice method is hunting.

Although Zhu Ao is not as poor and extravagant as Yang Guang, he can abandon the world in order to have a good time, but he can't do what Confucianism requires, except for sitting in the palace and watching the folds, he still likes to enjoy life.

Zhu Ao took a cadre of civil and military ministers and more than 1,000 cavalry to hunt at the northern foot of Qilian Mountain in the first section of Zhangye, and more than 1,000 cavalrymen first dispersed and drove all the wild beasts in the mountains to a fixed place, and then Zhu Ao and others had the opportunity to show their skills.

Many emperors in history have said that hunting is a means of training, in fact, it is only that they are making excuses for their own playfulness, hunting is much simpler than fighting, those wild beasts see hordes of armies surrounding, only to escape, there is no power to resist.

Zhu Ao is not so hypocritical, he thinks that he is playing, Su Guosan is facing enemies, he is facing so much pressure all day long, how about relaxing occasionally?

In later generations, Zhu Ao had seen on the Internet that domestic tycoons went to foreign countries to hunt and experience the so-called exciting life, and he was once very envious, but now after actually hunting, Zhu Ao felt that this was also quite boring, completely one-sided slaughter, and it was too far from the real battlefield.

At noon, Zhu Ao ordered a picnic on the spot, roasted all the loot, and distributed it to all the soldiers. The people who can sit together with Zhu Ao are naturally the core figures of the Su State, they are the five generals of the Six Cao Judgment Book and the Five Generals' Mansion, of course, Qu Neng, who is currently guarding Dunhuang, is not there.

On this day, the sun is shining, the breeze is smoky, although the winter in the northwest is a little cold, but such a day is also a good time to travel, the north is not as rich and enchanting as the south of the Yangtze River, but there is a kind of empty and majestic beauty, people do not feel relaxed and happy, in an instant they let go of themselves, and all the sundries in the world are left behind.

Zhu Ao liked this feeling very much, not to mention that this was still on his own territory, so he didn't have any restraints, so he sat on the ground with his legs apart, and said to the ministers of civil and military affairs who followed him: "You Aiqing sit casually, no formality." ”

The officials of the Su Kingdom who followed Zhu Ao also liked the current atmosphere very much, stretching and stretching their muscles and bones in the wild is comfortable, which makes people have a sense of freedom, which is much stronger than always being stuffy in the palace, but they will not really be formal, this sentence is just a kind word that the prince said casually, if it is serious, who is a fool, and still sat on both sides of Zhu Ao according to the shift of the previous dynasty, but each of them was a lot more casual, some sat cross-legged, and some sat with their legs apart like Zhu Ao. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Zhu Ao looked far away, pointed to the endless field in front of him, and said very proudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think this king's country is vast? ”

This is the opportunity given by the leader Bai to pat himself on the back, and the old men of Su Guo immediately nodded and echoed: "My Su country is vast and beautiful, and the water and grass are abundant, and it is really a vast and fertile land that is rare in the world." ”

Zhu Ao listened to their flattery, and his heart was also very happy, and suddenly, he changed his face to a very sad face and sighed: "It's a pity, although my Su country is vast, but there are enemies on three sides, Beiyu, Western Domain, and Nanrong, every tribe is eyeing us, especially after the bumper harvest of grain in my Su country, everyone wants to come to fight an autumn wind, isn't the Hami thieves attacking a few days ago an example?" ”
