Chapter 152: The Tiger Didn't Hit It, but Was Ambushed
After leaving the barracks, a hunting team of more than 20 people, led by Wang Xingxin, headed straight to the mountains and forests.
At the same time, it is in the royal mansion in Chang'an City.
"Are you sure that Lantian County Uncle only took about twenty people to hunt in the mountains and forests?"
"It's a little sure, and our eyeliner also says that there are not only Lantian County Bo, but also Lu Guogong's eldest son Cheng Chumo and the captain named Liu Heiwa, plus the guards, a total of twenty-three people."
"The old man knows, you go down."
......
The mountains and forests of Datang are not the same as now, except for a few limited places, where are there any mountains and forests, even some of the mountains and forests that look green are recently planted, not to mention tigers, even wild small animals are not much.
In the almost pristine mountain forest of Datang, before they entered the mountain forest, they hit more than a dozen pheasants, hares, and a fat deer.
Although Wang Xingxin took the softest bow and arrow more than ten times and did not hit the target with an arrow, this could not dampen his high interest in fighting the tiger.
After another arrow was a little outrageous, Wang Xingxin simply threw the soft bow and arrow in his hand and said to Heiwa: "Heiwa, you can get a live prey for my brother in a while, be bigger, don't be a pheasant, a hare or anything like that, it's better to be a big animal like a deer that your ugly bull brother beats." ”
Heiwahan, who had gained a lot, asked with a smile: "Brother Xin, do you still plan to get a living to raise?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Chumo on the side debunked: "He raises a fart, Heiwa, you don't see the new brother put his hands on the knife handle, he is afraid of losing face, let you catch a live prey, and go home to brag to your sister-in-law after a good hand!" ”
Wang Xingxin, who was exposed, said indifferently: "Ugly cow, don't be blind here, if you compare again, you won't have your share of the wine brewed after hitting the tiger!" ”
Cheng Chumo, who was pinched to death by Wang Xingxin, had no choice but to bow his head and smile and said: "Brother Xin, the ugly cow's brother, you are the first young earl of my Tang Dynasty, this deer is not enough to show your identity, not enough to show your bravery, it is better for our brother to catch a live tiger, and then you click!" If you don't think you can live tigers, there are black bears in this mountain. ”
There are still black bears in this mountain, thinking that he has only heard of the delicacy of bear paws, Wang Xingxin swallowed his saliva and said: "Just black bears, if you can't live, you can't die!" Today's task is to fight the tiger and the black bear! It happened that the weather was going to be cold, and I was worried that I didn't have anything to give to Uncle Liu, so I gave a bearskin coat, and the tiger skin was given to Uncle Qin, he is a tiger general! ”
"New brother, where is my father? Why are you so biased, you don't have my father's share? ”
"Your father is still in Manzhou, where the mountains are denser, there are more beasts, maybe people are gnawing tiger meat now, besides, Manzhou is in the south, and it is not cold in winter. It's a big deal, when he comes back, let's go into the mountains to hunt again. ”
Wang Da, who caught up, heard that the uncle was going to fight the black bear, so he hurriedly dissuaded: "Uncle, this black bear can't be beaten, this thing is difficult to hunt, we still have few people, if there is any danger, it is very bad!" ”
Looking at Wang Da, who was a little worried, Wang Xingxin took out an object from the package on the sergeant on the side and said, "There is this thing, you are afraid of a fart!" Not to mention black bears, even if we encounter wolves, we can kill them all. ”
Cheng Chumo stared at the item in Wang Xing's new hand with some uncertainty and said, "Isn't this iron lump too?" ”
"Yes, this is a reduced, enhanced version of the thunderbolt, made of iron, more powerful, and easy to carry. Wait until you encounter a tiger or a black bear, don't do anything, the master will personally send them to immortality! ”
"Brother Xin, this, this, how much did you bring?"
"Not much, only a hundred or so ones, absolutely enough!"
"No, you did this thing privately, if your majesty knows, do you know what the consequences are?"
"Your Majesty, it's even more fine, let's go directly to the palace to see Your Majesty after beating the tiger, the tiger whip still needs to be concocted before it can be brewed, just let the imperial doctor in the palace do it for you." When I saw His Majesty, he said that we went into the mountains to test the newly developed thunderbolt bomb. Your Majesty will not blame, maybe there will be a reward. ”
Thanks to the fact that he was able to come up with such a powerful reason, but there was no flaw, and Cheng Chu Mo and the others didn't say anything, they could only pray that the tigers and black bears in the mountains would never meet this shameless person.
Everyone walked, joking, unconsciously has been deep into the mountains and forests for more than ten miles, although this road did not encounter any fierce beasts, but the harvest is also a lot. Seeing that it was almost noon, I felt a little hungry.
It just so happened that one of the guards assigned by Qin Qiong was very familiar with the mountains and forests, and soon found a mountain stream.
And they rested by the brook, ready to barbecue their prey.
Wang Xingxin, who was holding a fat rabbit leg and gnawing on a mouthful of oil, suddenly smelled a smell of wine, and looked back to see Cheng Chumo and Heiwa who were holding a skin bag hidden somewhere and drinking it.
"You two have been in the camp all the time, and Uncle Qin doesn't learn from the ugly cow's father, who is addicted to alcohol, where did you get the wine?"
Heiwa was very straightforward, so he directly sold Cheng Chumo: "Brother Xin, this wine was stolen from your house by Brother Ugly Niu the day before yesterday." ”
After calling Wang Dalai, he was a little angry and said: "Wang Da, what do you think of the home, our wine has been stolen by the ugly cow!" ”
"Uncle, Grandpa Cheng is the same as his own house in our house, except for the backyard, he doesn't enter easily, we can guard against him, besides, my brothers and I all came out of Cheng's mansion, and those methods are very familiar to Grandpa Cheng, even if you can't prevent it."
"Ugly cow, you kid really doesn't treat yourself as an outsider, one day my brother will go to your house to steal things, and it just so happens that your father is not at home."
"And, if you go, if your mother knows that you want to steal, I promise to kick out everyone in the family and let you steal enough! Besides, I'm not stealing my sister-in-law, I'm just stealing some wine......"
"You still want to steal your sister-in-law, I think you're looking for a fight, if you can't beat you, you have to beat you, don't fight back!"
After an unfinished rabbit leg was thrown into Cheng Chumo's face, Wang Xingxin went up and beat it.
Cheng Chumo was very honest and didn't fight back, just let Wang Xingxin avenge the wounded barracks for being beaten by him.
After eating and drinking, everyone continued to walk deep into the mountains and forests, but after walking for a few miles, they were said to be tigers and black bears, and even night wolves did not see a single one.
Wang Da saw that it was not early, and if he went further, he was afraid that he would not be able to go back before dark.
"Uncle, let's stop here today, it's a little late, if we don't go back, we won't be able to get out until it gets dark, and we don't have anything to camp with."
Wang Xingxin, who was a little regretful, also didn't want to spend the night in this mountain forest full of crises, so he sighed and said: "Okay, that's all for today, and come back tomorrow!" Tomorrow you must bring some people, you have to hit the tiger. ”
Cheng Chu silently saw that the new brother was a little regretful and relieved: "Brother, tomorrow you ask Uncle Qin again, let him send you more soldiers, we are still few people, in the past, I hunted with my father was a battalion of soldiers searching the mountains, and it would not be long before I could hit the tiger, you can tell Uncle Qin to use the tiger to soak wine to strengthen your body, and then say that it is your exclusive secret recipe, and give some to Your Majesty, Uncle Qin will definitely give you a battalion of men and horses."
Looking at Cheng Chumo with a straight face, Wang Xingxin said with some suspicion: "Ugly cow, are you sure it's not for the tiger whip wine, but just to let my brother fulfill his wish?" ......”
On the way back, no matter what he encountered, he didn't draw his bow and arrows again, but just came as soon as possible, and soon reached the foot of the mountain.
"What about horses? Ugly cow, didn't you let people keep watch at the horses? What about our horses? ”
As soon as Wang Xing's new words landed, Wang Da said with some uncertainty: "Uncle, beware, someone is coming!" Protect the uncle....."
It's just that Wang Da's reminder is a little late.
Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of people rushing out of the forest and shooting a dense number of arrows with bows, and Wang Xingxin stood there so frightened that his legs were weak and he couldn't move half an inch.
While holding horizontal knives and bows and arrows, everyone moved closer to Wang Xingxin's side, but they didn't know how many people were ambushed, and the arrows were shot a little too densely.
Looking at a few arrow feathers shot at Wang Xingxin, he couldn't dodge it because of his weak legs, and Heiwa and Wang Xi, who rushed to his side, protected him behind him without hesitation.
After a few "poofs".
Wang Xingxin looked at the black baby who fell in his arms and the three arrows on the ground, Wang Xi, who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, he finally woke up from the fright.
Holding the black baby, he said sharply: "Blow them up, blow them up for Lao Tzu!" Don't leave any of them! ”
At this time, half of the twenty or so people brought by Wang Xingxin were killed and injured by a rain of arrows, not counting Heiwa, who was shot in the abdomen and chest, and Wang Xi, who fell to the ground, and even Cheng Chumo was hit by an arrow in his arm.
The remaining dozen or so intact guards and some lightly injured guards were about to take out the thunderbolts and throw them after listening to Wang Xingxin's order.
The group on the other side just put the arrow on the bow and didn't continue to shoot.
This just gave Wang Xingxin, who was in a desperate situation, a chance to breathe, and he motioned to Cheng Chumo with his eyes to prepare the thunderbolt, and then stepped forward with trembling legs and said, "Who are you?" I am the county uncle of Lantian County of the Tang Dynasty, and the bold thief dares to assassinate me and others, so I am not afraid that Your Majesty will punish you and the whole clan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw one of the people wrapped in black scarves come out and pull open the scarf and said, "Lantian County Uncle? Now they're all counts, remember Ben Shao? ”
