Chapter 138: The Gambling Contract
Yingqiu Hunting Ground is the exclusive hunting ground of the Qi royal family!
This place is located more than 20 miles northeast of Linzi City, which is the earliest capital of the Jiang Qi State, and later gradually abandoned as the Qi State moved its capital to Linzi. After the land www.biquge.info of the pen & fun & pavilion gradually became barren, it was specially encircled by the Qi State Office and later the Qi royal family as the exclusive hunting ground for the monarch of Qi State!
The terrain here is abrupt and towering, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is the best hunting ground in Qi country. Even if you look at the whole world, it can be regarded as an excellent hunting ground.
Zhao Xue followed Dai Yan and Zhao Yong with an excited expression on her face on the way to the Yingqiu Hunting Ground. Being able to participate in field hunting can be regarded as making her happy!
Of course, Prince Tian Pijiang held a field hunt, but not just invited Dai Yan alone, almost all the scholars and most of the nobles of the Qi Kingdom were invited by him to come. In this era of martial arts, such bloody activities as Tian Hunting do not avoid women, and many nobles of Qi State brought their families to lead the noblewomen and young ladies of the family out, and even Tian Pijiang himself brought his sister, the noble princess of Qi State.
However, in public activities in front of people, Zhao Xue has always not shown a woman's face, and is completely dressed as a man!
It gives her a unique look of charm!
Field hunting originated from the hunting of the kings in ancient times. However, since China fully entered the agricultural society, most places no longer need hunting to satisfy hunger. Therefore, the etiquette and system of field hunting have become more and more perfect, and the etiquette law stipulates that field hunting does not hunt young animals, does not collect bird eggs, does not kill pregnant beasts, does not injure young beasts that have not grown up, and does not destroy bird nests; In addition, hunting and killing should be encircled but not combined, leaving room for all the killings, and it is not possible to catch them all at once, and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
For the nobles, the hunt was also a sign of military training. Conducting a field hunt is equivalent to fighting an aristocratic war, and the aristocratic war has its own aristocratic system, and it is carried out with the weapons dedicated to the nobility.
When Dai Yan came to the hunting ground, everyone laughed when they saw the actions of Dai Yan and his party!
The use of chariots to participate in field hunting is almost a common practice in this era, but Dai Yan and his party did not have a chariot, all of them "rode alone" and wore right-hand uniforms to participate in field hunting.
In the minds of everyone, not saying that such a way is a custom and violates the law of etiquette. Even they don't have a special chariot, and when hunting, a single horse can't enclose the prey!
With a sarcastic and curious expression on his face, Prince Tian Pijiang asked Dai Yan: "As a prince of the Song Kingdom, why did the prince participate in the field hunt in such a way?" ”
The people around the prince also looked at the outfits of Dai Yan and his party with disdainful expressions, as if Dai Yan, who was wearing military uniforms and riding alone, had insulted them!
Dai Yan turned a blind eye to everyone's expressions, and replied lightly to Tian Bijiang: "I've seen the prince!" In the next way to participate in the field hunt by riding a horse alone, it is nothing more than that I feel that this way is more exciting and the efficiency of hunting is higher. For riding a single horse, Zai Xia also has a special hobby for this kind of Rong Di custom that everyone hates, so he participates in field hunting in this way. If the prince feels that he has not obeyed the etiquette and cannot go into battle, he is willing to change into a chariot and come! ”
When Tian Bijiang heard Dai Yan's words, he replied with a clear expression: "Since Gongzi likes to ride alone, then Gongzi will hunt in this way, this little thing is not worth Gongzi's special trip." King Zhou was just raised by a little maid, and Zhou Li's constraints on us, the son doesn't have to care! After saying that, he let Dai Yan go and went to find other fun and lively things.
However, although Prince Tian Bijiang let Dai Yan go, a certain prince among the nobles of Qi State jumped out to find trouble with Dai Yan.
This person is naturally Jingguo Juntian Baby!
When Dai Yan questioned Qi, the prince successfully persuaded the King of Qi to dispel Dai Yan's killing intent, and Dai Yan has always been honest in Qi and avoided Tian Ying, so Tian Ying has never had a chance to trouble Dai Yan.
Now that they have met in this hunting ground, they can't avoid it, and Tian Ying is not so polite on his home field.
He walked straight up to Dai Yan and asked, "Gongzi is really good Yaxing, he actually likes this kind of Rong Di customs, it's really surprising!" However, Childe thinks that the efficiency of hunting on a horse alone is higher than that of a chariot, and this gentleman is very dissatisfied! Childe, do you dare to compete with me? ”
Dai Yan saw that he couldn't avoid Tian Ying, so he could only honestly drive the horse under him and stepped forward and asked, "I don't know how Jing Guojun wants to compete?" ”
Tian Ying laughed out loud and said, "Childe has now become a bachelor, and the whole Linzi knows the name of Childe!" And Childe's doctrine says: Facts are the only criterion for testing truth. I'm waiting for the competition, so let's see the facts. You and I have both brought a lot of retinues with us, so how about we wait three days to see who has hunted more prey? I know that Childe has always been jealous of Benjun, but as long as Childe can hunt more prey than me in these three days, from now on, as long as Childe is there, Benjun will automatically retreat; And if you are better than Childe in the next, and don't make too excessive demands in the next, Childe will give Benjun a month! After this incident, the previous holidays between you and me have been written off! No matter who wins or loses on both sides of you and me, Benjun will not go to trouble with Childe in the future, how about it? ”
As soon as he heard Tian Ying's words, before Dai Yan could speak, Tang Ying beside him couldn't help but speak: "Jing Guo Jungui is the king of Qi State, and he won't say anything about his previous use of methods to assassinate my son-in-law." Now you still want my son-in-law to lead the horse for you, this is simply delusional! After speaking, he took out his sword and prepared to draw his sword out of the sheath to find Tian Ying desperately!
Seeing such a scene, Dai Yan hurriedly stopped it and shouted at Tang Ying: "Tang Ying, I told you a long time ago that the sword is not for you to take out and play, and the bright sword will see blood!" Now that the hunt has not yet begun, and there is only Jing Guojun in front of you, is it possible that you still want the sword in your hand to be stained with Jing Guojun's blood? ”
Although Dai Yan was reprimanding Tang Ying, the people around him could feel a strong sense of threat in it. It seems that as long as the thin Song Kingdom traveler in front of him draws his sword out of the sheath, he can really make Tian Ying's head fall to the ground!
However, before everyone could savor it, Dai Yan immediately said to Tian Ying with a smile: "Since Jing Guojun has such a Yaxing, he should accompany him in the future!" After three days, you and I can count our prey in front of everyone. If you want to beat Jing Guojun in the next place, you will leave! ”
After Dai Yan finished speaking, he walked away with all the knights behind him like a gust of wind, and went to follow the large army led by the prince.
As soon as Tian Ying heard Dai Yan's threatening words, her eyes were full of gloom. When he Dai Yan left, his mood didn't get better! Then he pointed to Dai Yan who was leaving in front of him, and gave a fierce look at Qi Xiangbi beside him, Qi Xiangbi Shi Ran retreated, and disappeared into Tian Ying's army!
Dai Yan, who rode to the front, had a gloomy look on his face. With just a cursory glance, he found out the reason why Tian Ying dared to boast of such a large Haikou to ensure that he could win: the entourage that followed Tian Ying almost exceeded two hundred!
And this time Tian Hunt, who followed Dai Yan, only had more than 40 travelers who followed him from the Song State to the Qi Kingdom, plus more than 30 knights from the Zhao Kingdom brought by Zhao Yong, and the two sides together could not reach half of the entourage brought by Tian Ying!
And in the situation just now, Dai Yan couldn't refuse Tian Ying's request. After all, this is the land of Qi State, Tian Ying put forward the seemingly loose conditions in front of him, if he refuses, maybe he doesn't know how many harsh conditions are waiting for Dai Yan in the future!
Tian Ying's challenge was seen by the whole team. Everyone had also seen two teams with such a huge difference in numbers, and they knew that it would definitely be extremely difficult to defeat Tian Ying! This made the mood of the whole team extremely solemn, and there was no longer the joy of being able to participate in the field hunt.
There was only one person who was extremely excited! As soon as she left Tian Ying's sight, she ran to Dai Yan's side and said to Dai Yan: "Coward, are you afraid?" Don't worry.,As long as there is this father.。。 Zizai, I will definitely help you hunt enough prey, teach that Tian Ying a hard lesson, and let that guy know that he knows how powerful! ”
